manpower problem, therefore, is
acute, and there is even shortage of
women to fill the jobs left open by
enlistment of men for fighting duty.
Price Control Trips Up
| Job freezing, wage regulation and
strict price control are the law in Can
ada and the people are accepting these
| infringements on their normal liber-
ties without complaining despite nu-
merous grievances and mistakes in
administration.
Rationing of gasoline and scarce ar
ticles of the table such as sugar, cof-
fee and tea seems to be working out
efficiently. But, because of price con-
troll, the people of Canada are suffer-
ing new and unexpected shortages of
foods that should be plentifully avail
able.
For instance, beef was just not to
be had during our entire stay in To-
ronto. This was somewhat amazing
because Canada is one of the great
beef-producing nations of the world
True, great amount is being shipped
to Great Britain and the armed serv-
ices of Canada are consuming a huge
share. But there should still be beef
for the public, even under these cir
cumstances, were it not for the pc
culiar and unforeseen results of price
control.
Wholesale and retail beef prices are
controlled by law Therefore, the
wholesalers, in order to stay in bust
ness, are compelled to limit the price
they can pay to farmers and ranch
owners for cattle. The farmers refuse
to sell at this price, claiming it would
mean loss to them. They prefer to
| fatten their cattle for future markets,
expecting the beef shortage will re-
suit in relaxation of the price regu-
lations. The government, susceptible
to political pressure from the farm
belt, does not dare as yet to crack
| uOWH OH IHe farmers. AIlQ Cne result
is that the public gets no beef to eat
Still, no squawks are heard The
citizenry eat what they can get and
like it. It's rather tough on the poul-
try population of Canada, because
chickens and turkeys are being
slaughtered in unusual numbers, but
they have no votes.
No War Against Labor
The people of Canada know there
is war on because thousands of their
sons and brothers and relatives al
ready have paid the supreme sacrifice
and many more thousands are taking
their places on the battle lines. They
are proud of the opportunity of doing
their share and they are grateful for
the assistance which the United States
is now rendering the United Nations
One evidence of this is the fact that
at all public gatherings the customary
toast to the King is always followed
by a similar toast to the President of
the United States.
The workers of Canada, many of
whom are members of the American
Federation of Labor, are doing a su-

Gas Assured
War Workers

To expedite supplemental gas
rationing applications for war
workers, six war area boards will
be set up, f. T. Broadwell, station
gasoline rationing officer, said
today.
This follows the statement of
Arthur III. Sarvis, state director
of the OPA, who declared that
"NO war worker need lose
one hour of work from his war
plant employment"
War workers will take their
applications, received when they
applied for "A" ration books, to
their plant transportation adj
visory committee, which in turn
will check it and then send it to
one of the six war area boards, SET
up through the cooperation OF
plant operators and labor organ
iZations,
All clerical and processing
workers will be furnished by the
companies. The applications will
be returned to the war worker
through the plant.
There will be 35 processing and
dispensing boards under local
board supervision for people in
non-War activities.

Fuel Oil Users
Warned by PA
To Get Ration
Even Those With Plenty
on Hand Must Register,
State Director Declares

Even though the householder
may have enough fuel oil to last
him through the winter he must
Iapply for ration, the OPA
warned today.
The homeowner will receive a
ration, but no certificate and no
effort will be made 10 make him
ration the oil supply which he may
have already stored in his own
tanks.
Homeowners with surplus oil
may, Under no circumstances
transfer fuel oil TO another con.
sumer.
Martin Vierling, state fuel IA.
tioning director, pointed out that
fewer than 10 per cent of the
people have more than 240-gallor
tank capacities and that there
have been only about half q
dozen" cases where the home
owner has failed to register.
FIVE PERIODS DESIGNATED
az doubt that many people
will be so generous as to want
to transfer oil to another con-
sumner" Vierling said. 1.-THE job
of siphoning the stuff out isn't
so easy, either"
Vierling said that consumers
should be guided by the rationine
periods set up in order that their
fuel supply will last.
The five periods during each OF
which only 20 per cent of the sup
lply should be burned are:
October l to November %. Nov
Iember 80 10 January 6, 1913; jan
Iuary z TO February 8, February
to March IL and March Is to
September 30.
Vierling said that coupons are
good for IA days past the deadline
of each period, in the event that
consumption during the period was
slow and tank capacity had not
been used up.
MANY OIL USERS FOUND
Registrations for fuel oil have
lproyen that oil users are more
prevalent than first believed. More
than half of them have been regis.
