Growing War Food

Until this year R. II, Jones, ker-
rville. Tenn, Negro farmer thought
he YVES doing all right if he raised
80 pigs. But with the war on and
our fighting men needing pork, he
decided to increase his hog pro-
duction So this year instead OF
raising 80 pigs he has 70.
r. II. Brown, assistant county
agent for Negro work in Shelby
county, points out that Mr.. Jones
owns a 100 acre farm; has -four
head of workstock, three milk COWS
and a large poultry flock. He has
IL acres in improved pasture, ~
acres in cotton, Is acres in corn
and % acres in Lespedeza. Farmer
Jones is member of the local
victory committee and grows 20
percent of the food his family OF
10 consumes.
Four of the Jones youngsters
are members of the All club and
will be taking an active part in the
National All Achievement Week
to be observed November ia. The
Joneses represent one of many Ne
gro farm families who are trying
to make a full contribution to-
ward winning the war.

FADED AND GONE

Like the last rose of summer,

prediction of total employment
throughout the US. in 1912, has
faded and gone. There are prob
ABLY more than four million un-
employed in this country today,
and about one million of these per
sons are Negroes.
The War Department says THAT
nearly five thousand Negroes re-
ceived last year, college degrees

sciences and liberal arts, adding
"More than $4,000 completed trad

The President said in his recent
address that discrimination against
Negroes in employment is lux
ury this country can no longer al
ford. He also confirmed the re-
port that wages and jobs will soon
be frozen, and this latter fact has
caused great agitation among Ne
groes, because they are lowest
down in the wage scale. New
York's PM has launched a laud-
able and concerted effort to get Ne
groes everywhere to register ior'

the war effort, including nearly
all of the civil service people. THat
will leave millions of other work
ers untouched by the freezing or

can't freeze a worker into a job If
he has no job, and this is exactly
where the Negro comes into the
picture.

joseph T. Rourke, recording secre- tary of the New Haven Central La Dor Council, after considerable re- search on his part, announces that the following items may be deducted from a union members taxable income:
 Initiation fees, dues, depreciation on tools, church, Red Cross and Com munity Chest contributions auto taxes registration and license; three cents on every gallon of gasoline con- stunned, old age assistance tax, prop erty tax, amusement tax, and interest on mortgages and installment pay mentS.
 Deductions for gas and amusement taxes can easily be computed. For gas tax, divide approximate mileage for year by number of miles your car covers on a gallon and then multiply by Sc. Figure out how much you spent on shows and other amusements whose tickets have a 10 per cent amusement tax and divide total by 10.

 The lumber wage order affects the largest number. It is estimated that it will increase the hourly wage rate of 168,000 workers, mostly in the South. Logging operations are not under the lumber wage order. The cutting of timber and pulp wood in the woods is at the 30-cent-an-hour statutory minimum.

Must Inform Investors Ot
 True Picture
Prospective Buyers Should Know Real Situation,
 Board Rules

WASHINCTON.- Failure on the part of company to report that its labor relations are bad is ''ma- terialIy misleading to investOrs,' '' the Federal Securities and Ex- change Commission has ruled here.
 The ruling came in the matter of Central Specially Co. of Ypsi- lanti, Mich., which is engaged in the manufacture and sale of pow er-driven woodworking machinery for Sears Roebuck & Co. and in the production of foundry castings for the Ford Motor Co.
 In filing a registration statement with the SEC, necessary in order to sell securities, the company declared that its labor relations were "very satisfactory"
 s'STORY OF CONFLICT"
 Actually, the SEC found, the record "tells story of conflict which con- tinued for approximately five months prior to the effective date of the reg istration statement, between the reg istrant and members of a union bent on recognition and revision of wages and working conditions.
 During this period the union per- sisted in its attempt to gain recogni- ton and the company was equally resolute in its determination that an election must precede recognition and negotiation.
 GAS a result of registrant's oppo- sition to bargaining in advance of an election, registrant was threat ened by the union with fight picket lines and a strike ...
 ssWe conclude from the record that it was materially untrue to state, as of July 2, 194l, the effec- tive date of the registration state ment, that the registrant's labor relations with its employees had. in the past, been very satisfactory

He used every argument ever advanced by an open-shopper against unions, and rejected our contention that the union could be great help to him in operating the ReformatOry, as has been the case in other institutions.
 ''He ignored the fact that the guards at Wethersfield are almost 100 per cent organized. It was then that he came out with his statement that unions and the Merit System are the worst things that ever hap pened in Connecticut This is not the sort of attitude the public ex- poets from a state official, espe- cially from one who is paid $8,OOO q year, more than five times as much as most of the men under him.
