Toilette Jr

of poll tax repeal, Mr. Finerty has
long been known for his constant and
persistent resistance to injustice His
lifetime of service for fair play in
cludes participation as counsel in the
famous Tom Mooney and Sacco-Van-
zetti cases. He was instrumental ia
forcing the restoration of John Dono
van, who had been fired by the MIRA
for organizing government union
and also forced the federal power
commission to restore an employee
under similar circumstances, both of
which cases created labor history.
Another high spot in his colorful legal
career was his service as counsel for
cannon De Valera, who later became
the Irish prime minister.
Mr.. Finerty was influential in secur
ing favorable action on the Pepper
Geyer anti-poll tax bill. His testi-

ACLU FIGHTS ANTI
FREE SPEECH LAW

SACRAMENTO, Calf. - FP) =
Charging that Sacramento ordinance
prohibiting public meetings without a
permit is unconstitutional, the Amer
lean Civil Liberties Union has filed a
brief in behalf of Anita Whitney, Com
munist candidate for comptroller, ar
rested for violation of this ordinance.
The ACLU brief argues that ere
quirement of permit to hold public
meeting constitutes an illegal censor
ship over the expression of opinion .
The Sacramento ordinance is held to
be similar to a Jersey City ordinance
nullified by the U. S. supreme court
in the case of the CLIO against Boss
Frank Hague.

ELITE COTTON
FARMERS ON
STRIKE In SOUTH

WASHINGTON. - OPP - Arizona
cotton growers are on strike, as re
dictionary Pres. Ed O'Neal, American
Farm Bureau Federation, threatened
O'Neal said last week that ''if the
government continues its efforts tc
socialize American agriculture" thai
they'll just face strike-that's ALL >
There "have been too many strikes in
cities this time the farmers will
strike" he said.
He said the Department of Agricul-
ture was insisting farmers provide for
workers brought in by the govern
ment to relieve labor shortage "toi-
lets, baths, hot and cold water and
all that red tape"
On Arizona cotton farms, large
units of around 1000 acres, employing
100 men in season in many cases, the
rare crop of long-staple cotton needed
for Army parachutes and balloons, is
deteriorating day by day.
Farm labor brought by Farm Secur-
ity Administration, the transportation
at government expense, is ready to go
OF work but the owners prefer to let
the cotton spoil rather than pay the
goo an hour minimum set by the gov
eminent.
Sec. of Agriculture Wickard per-
suaded War Manpower Commissioner
that the WINGS prestige in the south
west was at stake. They sent a joint
telegram November a to growers say
ing they would be held responsible
for loss of crop.

MATERIALS PLAN
OF NAILS TOUTED
BY KANzLER

DETROIT (FP) Opposition to
Ernest Kanzler, Ford protege, violent
ly voiced by the UAW-CIO at its Chi
again in Detroit labor circles when it
became known that he would prob
ably head the U. S. controlled mate
rails plan for coordination of all in
dustry.
Speaking to the American Trade
Assn. executives in New York Novem-
Dor 6 Kanzler said America is soon to
undergo "the most rigidly controlled
economy it ever submitted to, because
we can't win the war without it,"
AS director general for operations
of the war production board Kanzler
is slated to be the controller
A few days earlier in Washington
at Donald Nelson's WPB press con-
ference November 2 a reporter who
asked what the major differences
were between the controlled materials
plan and the nazi plan in Germany
was referred to Nelson's assistant
Eberstadt. Eberstadt frankly said;
"The most fundamental difference
between this plan and their plan lies
in the fact that they (the nazis) do
not enjoy the advantages of quite so
strict an antitrust law as we have
here. Their industries are permitted
to combine-in fact, they have been
encouraged to combine for many
they have a cell which is able to take
on very great burdens of distribution.
We unfortunately do not have that at
the moment. But basically the re-
ports of their plan which | have read
and studied in connection with this
meet the same requirements that this
plan does. What this plan does is to
force programs"
The objections raised by the JAW
to Kanzler's rapid elevation in govern
ment control over industry were that
he is chamber of commerce pawn"
who has refused to recognize ineffi-
cheney in the operation of war plants"
and that his promotion would hinder
the war effort"
Published charges, never contra
dicted, that Kanzler's office when he
was head of Ford's car-financing sub
sidiary was the intermediary for 81
phoning funds from Detroit industry
to the pro-fascist rabble-rouser Gerald
L. K. Smith, long ago threw question
ing glances toward this brother-in-law
of Edsel Ford, son of the Hitler med
alist.

ITO put the farmers in the hands

1t will be extremely difficult for any
one to get extra gasoline rations I'M
less he can prove that he is engaged
in an essential occupation. Rationing
is in charge, so far, of the Office of
Price Administration, and the local
war, price and rationing boards will
handle the gasoline situation as they
have rubber and sugar. Many COM
plants over the system have been
heard, but they seem to have fallen on
deaf ears. Naturally, there are bound
to be abuses when a set up of this
nature is established but many of the
stories heard in Helena would indi-
cate that members of the local boards
are too arbitrary and fail to give prop
er consideration to legitimate re-
quests.

In 1889, the production Of the Carboloy
Company was less than 10000 lbs; in 1910,
it was $1,000 lbs; in I94r it was I63ooo-
and in December came Pearl Harbor. Now,
in 1912, the Company's production is going
at a rate that is 45 times that Of only four
years ago.
Britain Dependent upon Us By contrast,
British companies, which had been content
to continue as customers Of Krupp, found
themselves cut off from the vital material
when Poland was invaded. But the General
Electric Company was able to supply sub
stantlal quantities to British industry i'm
medateIy and since then has continuously
filled British orders. 1t has, in like manner,
filled Canada's S requirements since 1896 1t is
currently supplying Canada, Russia, and
other United Nations. All this in addition to
supplying the greatly expanded needs Of
American industry.

mark for cemented tungsten-carbide, an
alloy second only to diamonds in hardness,
more precious than diamonds as a vital
material in Americas war program. 1t is
used for the tips of cutting tools, and for
wear-resistant dies. Carboloy is used in
small quantities; it IS difficult to make
