OFFICE is AGAIN
ON HONOR ROLL

The Ely Office of the United States
Employment Service had a place on
the honor roll of the service in Min
neSota for the second consecutive
month.
Leonard B. Ryan, st. Paul director
of the United States Employment
Service in Minnesota, said the Ely
office achieved 400 per cent increase
in job placements in March of this
year, compared to March, 1941. j.
Noble Johnson is ating manager of
the Ely office following Edward C.
Stonich's enlistment in the army.
The Office reported 10 placements,
compared to two a year ago and IL in
February of this year. 1t was one Of
Is offices in the state where the in
crease in placements more than
doubled the state average of 40 per
cent. This Mr.. Ryan said, indicates
an outstanding acceptance by en-
ployers and workers of the free facil-
tiles offered by the service

delay facing tough issue until public
resentment boils over and then act
| too hastily and without careful study.
| A perfect example was the effort last
| week to limit excessive profits on war
contracts by lacking a hurriedly
drafted rider onto war appropriation
bill.
The House rider provided for re-
covery of all profits in excess of 6
per cent OF the cost of a contract by
the contracting agency. The Senate
provision at first provided for a slid
| ing sale, then was amended to simply
give the departments authority to re-
| negotiate contracts and to recover or
refuse to pay to contractors amounts
which the department head decides
would result in excessive profits.
I think everyone, in and out of
Congress, wants to eliminate excess
sive profits from our war effort. Ger
| tainly we who are on the Truman
Investigating committee, which has
disclosed some fragrant cases, feel that
way. And yet majority of the Tru-
man committee are convinced after
considerable study that the only sound
| and fair way of recovering excess
profits is through the excess profits
| tax.
The trouble with trying to limit
profits on the basis of contract costs
is that it gets right back to the old
cost plus a percentage of cost system
of World War I which we have been
trying to avoid, and in the long run
it is bound to run up costs and fail
to reduce profits. Most contracts now
are on a cost plus a fixed fee basis
A contractor taking job estimated
at ten millions is allowed fee of
around 8 per cent of that estimate
or 100000, and he gets no more or
less regardless of whether costs exceed
the estimate or are under it. IF the
contractor can do the job for less, it
will not reduce his fee. But if the
proposed legislation becomes law and
profit is limited to per cent of costs,
then if the contractor does the job
for less than the estimate he is penal
lied by having his fee reduced
The present public demand for labor
legislation, which differs only in in
tensity from similar demands which
have developed repeatedly since the
defense program was inaugurated,
seems to me a perfectly logical result
of the failure of Congress and the Adj
ministration to lay down clear labor
policy early in the game.
1. Clearly define Cancellation and
mediation procedures to be followed by
employers and employees in settling
disputes.
2. Establish policies to govern set
Element of closed shop and wage in
crease issues in disputes. generally
freezing closed shop status except
where the employer agrees to it volun-
tarily and providing standards for
sterilization of wages.
8. A ban on secondary boycotts as
an organizational weapon.
4. A provision that all final settle
ments of disputes be retroactive SO
that labor, in relinquishing the strike |
weapon, is assured that will not suf- |
fer by reason of stalling by employers, |
as it is in some cases today. |

Speaking of the Outdoor
ShoW and Val. Saxby

Jay Vessels paid the Arrowhead
Country and Val Saxby a tribute in
his writeup of the Northwest outdoor
Show at the Minneapolis Auditorium
last week. In his American Press story
Vessels said:
Phineas T. Barnum had nothing on
that gang milling around Nick Kah-
ler's Northwest outdoor Show at the
Minneapolis Auditorium today
For, one thing. it was Arrowhead
Day and what the nationally noted
Maestro Kahler wasn't doing to en-
terrain the folks was being capably
and enthusiastically cared for by
that irrepressible northland promo
torial outfit headed by S. Valentine
Saxby, executive secretary of the
Arrowhead association.
You got the impression that all
Saxby and his followers say about
tourist and vacation prospects is not
plain ballyhoo, for the record throngs
at the show are talking and perform
ing like prospects
