Critics Declare

By the Associated Press.
A Senate Agriculture Subcommit-
tee advocating the manufacture of
rubber from farm crops declared
yesterday that the Baruch commit
tee has not met this question
squarely" but decided not to seek at
present to override President Roose-
velts veto of their bill for a separate
rubber agency.
Chairman Gillette and Senators
Norris, Independent, of Nebraska
and McNary. Republican, of Oregon
issued a joint statement taking par
ticular exception to the Baruch
committees recommendation that
there be no further substitutions in
present plans for synthetic rubber
manufacture. ~
In effect" the Senators declared
the recommendations are for freez-
Ing OF the present production plans
for synthetic rubber and almost
complete lack of recommendation
for steps to correct the failure in
the future to bring the agricultural
resources of the Nation into the
field of synthetic rubber production.
The object of the bill which the
President vetoed was solely to ex-
tend the program so as to include
agricultural products in the manu-
facture of butadiene from which
rubber could be produced.
The Baruch Committee has not
met this question squarely We
think it is the only issue involved
In the bill which the President has
vetoed"
In his veto message, Mr.. Roose-
selt expressed the opinion that the
bill would block the progress of
the war production program" by de-
centralizing control of rubber pro-

To explain this situation to those unfamiliar with the operations of coal mine, where the men are paid by the amount of coal mined, l will explain. The coal is loaded in small cars when mined. It is then run over a scale and weighed. A brass tag, numbered, is handed to the weighmaster and the man who mined the coal is credited with the amount. The men wanted a man as their own expense to check this weighing - the check-weighman, which the company refused. It would seem that if the company was honest with the men, there would be no objection. However, an inspection of the scales made by member of our state depart ment demonstrated in several in- stances that the scales were not registering the correct weight.
 One of my duties as state statisti- clan was to compile the Biennial Re port of the department. It was limited to a 30O-page book. In making the report of this strike, I merely printed the official statements issued by both sides to the controversy, together with newspaper reports of things that took place. The well known writer, George Greet GUS. Publicity man, First World War) wrote many articles on this strike for the Metropolitan Mag- asine, and in those articles, several of his pages are taken verbatim from my report.

in having hydro-electric power avail

also in having the diesel plant in
Brawley and the new tie line to

assistance in meeting the power

In the bulk system the grain is
