Gus came forward slowly; he
opened the package and lit one.
Bigger, you sure is crazy" Gus
said with shy smile. Bigger knew
that Gus was glad that the fight
was over. Bigger was not afraid
of them now; he sat with his feet
propped upon his suitcase, looking
from one to the othe@r with a quiet
smile.
'Lemme have a dollar" Jack
said.
Bigger peeled off a dollar hill for
each of them.

The concerns are Ill the Chica
go and Milwaukee areas, ana the
findings and directions are based
on two days of public hearings
held January 10 to 20 i'll Chicago
Since January the committee, of
which DR.. Malcolm S. MacLean.
president of Hampton Institute, is
chairman, had studied the record
before taking the action announc-
ed.
The companies involved in the
Chicago area are: the Stewart
Warner Corporation, the Buick
Aviation plant at Melrose Illinois,
a unit of General Motors Corpora
tion; the Bearse Manufacturing
Company, Simpson Manufacturing
Company and the Studebaker
branch factory. Those in the Mil
wauKee area are: the Nordbere
Manufacturing Company, A. 0.
Smith Corporation He'll Com
pany, Disclaimers Corporation
and the Harnischfeger Corpora
ton.
One company, MI jestic Radio
Corporation of Chicago, was COM
mended for its prompt action III
correcting discriminatory practice
in its hiring. According to testi-
mony by H. A. Gates, Majestic
president, he discharged two of his
supervisory and found the charges
of discrimination made by the
committee to be valid. Mr. Gates
took this action even before he
appeared On the witness stand at
the Chicago hearings.
The complaints filed against the
several companies included allega-
tons that they had refused to en-
play either Negroes or Jews, or
both; that they had given restric-
tive orders to either public or
private employment agencies, ask
ing for onls white or only Gentle
workers; that they had advertised
in newspapers for help and speci-
fled "Gentile'' or Protestant" or
white or that they had refused
to give workers of certain races
and creeds opportunity for promo
ton in keeping with their qualifi-
cations.
The companies for the most
part denied that they were dis
eliminating, but in each case the
committee found that the evidence
supported the charges of discrimi-
nation.
"The findings and directions will
give the committee a continuing
jurisdiction over the employment
practices of these industries, which
hold contracts for war implements
and material, as each concern has
been asked to file reports with
the committee, showing the extent
to which steps have been taken to
bring the comDany's employment
policies and practices into line
with the national policy DR..
MacLean explained.
The findings and directions, with
notifications for the specific ease
of each company read as follows:
''The committee directs that the
proper policy making officials of
the corporation give written III
struction TO each of their en-
ployees IN charge of employment
to comply fully with the provisions
Of Executive Order 1862 and fur
nish the committee with copies OF
such instructions.

The Office of Price Administra-

comply with a voluntary program
within a stipulated period.
The city was designated a de-

HOW TO CUT DOWN
YOUNG PIG LOSSES

Not all little pigs go to market. In
fact third of all pigs farrowed on
American farms never live to market
able age. Most of this vast loss oc-
ours within the first few weeks OF
life. Much of it Is preventable.
among the many causes or losses
are scours, pneumonia, crushing under
soWs, chilling. low blood sugar, anemia,
vitamin deficiencies. infectious sore
mouth, Bangs disease, swine pox, hog
cnolera, starvation, eryslpelas ana
miscellaneous infections.
Healthy, cholera-immune breeding
stock is the first step toward a sue
cessful pig crop. Sows must have
a ration carrying proper levels OF pro-
TENS, calcium, phosphorus and IODINE.
Many still births and weak pigs, as
well as a tendency toward securing
ana pneumonia, are traced to SOW ra-
TONS that lacked enough vitamln A
and ID. Recent research also shows
that one severe type Of baby. pig loss
can be prevented by supplying sows
with sugar-rich rations during the last
half of their terms.
Here are some further suggestions
to help reduce baby pig losses: Hog
houses should be cleaned thoroughly
by scrubbing with hot I've water. Just
before narrowing, the sows' udders
should be washed clean with soap and
water. Many veterinarians advise that
brood sows should be treated for in
ternal parasites prior 10 pigging time.
Sows and young PIGS should be hauled
to clean pastures and the pigs creep
fed after two weeks old for faster
gain and growth.
Farrowing pens should be roomy and
equipped with guard rails to prevent
crushing and smothering. Anemia can
be prevented by tossing a foot-wide
square of clean pasture sod into each
pen once a week. Baby pigs should be
