economic and personal liberty the
moment the war is over. Civilian
war organization is economic fasc-

advocates of an overall government

present inadequate system voiced
by The Guaranty Survey, monthly

The review urges adoption of a
comprehensive rationing system, a
measure which has already been
proposed by unions throughout the

Present control over food prices
and wage rates has not altered the
basic causes of rising prices. the
review says.
Not so surprising is the reviews

Bureau Leader
Wants Overtime
Pew Ended
BY Federated Press

DES MONIES, Ia, Dec. 10-The
American Farm Bureau Fedora
tion's campaign against organized
labor was developed further by
Vice President Earl C. Smith of
Chicago in speech at the annual
Iowa Farm Bureau Federation con-
vention here.
Smith combined defense of the
bureaus parity activities with an
attack on the wage-hour law.
Claiming to be friend of labor,
he declared that "the best interests
of the nation and of all its people
can be served only by setting aside
definitely, at least for the dura-
tion of the war, 40-hour week
and overtime rates Of pay"
This attitude contrasts with that
of the National Farmers Union,
which champions the rights of la
Dor and has not asked for special
privilege as the bureau has.

out giving any reasons, refused the

Firm Burns
Rubber Despite
Union Protest
IN Federated Press

PEORIA, ILL.-Nearly 3 tons OF
rubber went up in smoke at the
Caterpillar Tractor plant because
the company needed the storage
space and wouldn't sell the rubber
at 10c a pound.
That was the charge made Dec
4 by the United Farm Equipment
& Metal Workers (CIO) and its
Caterpillar Tractor Local lO5, and
backed by affidavits sworn by For
est Comming, local president and
four other unionists.
A shop steward ran across the
chairman of the company's salvage
department burning 300 solid rub
Der tires, weighing about 20 pounds
apiece. They had just been taken
off the wheels Of small electric
trucks used in factory transport, in
order to salvage the wheels for
scrap, the union was informed.
Cumming Immediately protested
to the company, which admitted
some rubber had been burned, but
that it had permission to do so.
The company would not reveal who
gave the permission.
Three wires were sent to Rubber
Administrator William Jeffers in
Washington, and finally resulted
in an investigation by Shephen
Bates Of the Illinois OPA office.

1t went on to stress the need of
practical cooperation while the me-
gotiations continued. More signifi-
cant even than this, however, was
the sentence, toward the end, rec
ommending that it remain in force
until labor unity is effected"
Any specific jurisdictional dis
pute not agreed on by the commit
Tee to be established, should go to
disinterested arbiter selected by
the committee. If the committee
could not decide on an arbiter in
five days the president should be
asked to do so. Agreeing that the
declaration of principles was broad
enough to bring both organizations
closer, the delegates said they
would meet again before the end
of December.
