SubSCrlptlOn
price OF the YpSant Daily Press delivered by carrier
boys in Ypsilan and adoinng districts will be 20 cents
per week. with the special provision that by paving the
carrier boys for two weeks at time in advance the price
will be two weeks for s. cents.
For some time past the Daily Press has held to the old
price, despite the fact that hundreds of papers over the
country have advanced. The time has come now when
the Daily Press is forced to advance subscription prices
to help meet increased costs of production.
While this small increase will mean very little to the
individual subscriber it will help materially in advancing
salaries OF employees and in providing money for
the carrier boys.

FORMER SEAMEN ARE
ASKED TO REGISTER
FOR MERCHANT DUTY

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). - Ad-
miral Emory S. Land, War Shipping
administrator, has announced ma
tional registration Of former merchant
marine seamen and ships officers be-
ginning September 8. The registra-
tion is to determine how many men
with previous sea experience are
available for sea duty
Registrations will be accepted at all
U. S. Employment Service Offices in
principal cities and towns. If an ex-
officer or seaman cannot register in
person, he may write to the u. S. En-
ployment Service in his community
for registration blank. The regis
tration period will continue through
September Is.
Admiral Land explained that, due
to the steady increase in the size Of
the American Merchant Marine, there
lies ahead the necessity to employ as
many experienced seamen as possible
to help man the ships carrying vital
war supplies. Over 100000 seamen
and officers will be needed to sail the
1900 new ships that will be built by
the end of 1943.
"There is no compulsion in this reg
sIation," he said. "All that we ask
Of these men is that they let their
country know who they are, where
they are, and if they are willing to
return to the sea. They will be called
only as the need for their particular
skill becomes acute

SIXTEEN FIRMS In
CINCINNATI AREA
VIOLATE STATUTE

Cincinnati, Ohio.-Sixteen firms or
establishments in the Cincinnati area
found in violation of the Fair Labor
Standards Act, popularity known as
the Federal Wage and Hour Law, dur
ing the month of August, agreed to
make restitution totaling $20,325.66
to 305 employees for back wages and
unpaid overtime due them under the
law, Thomas A. Hermansen, acting
supervising Inspector, in charge of
the Cincinnati office of the Wage and
Hour Division, U. S. Department of
Labor, announced this week.
At the same time, Miss Grace G.
Glascott, regional director of the
Wage and Hour Division for Ohio and
Michigan, reported that in the entire
state of Ohio, 10 firms found in vio-
lations serious enough to warrant res
titution, had agreed to pay back wages
and overtime totalling $86,711.09 to
1,125 employees. With 32 Michigan
firms agreeing to pay $18,91209 to 464

WE KNOW AMERICAN
LABOR WILL DO ITS
PART,' OFFICER SAYS

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) 1.-THE
Navy is interested, in every way, in
the workers who are producing war
materials SO urgently needed for the
fleet. These workers and their fam
lilies, their health and safety, their
welfare and living conditions are i'm
portant to Navy. Ii they were not i'm
portant, there would be no incentive
for the Navy to fight and die for them
at Coral Sea, Midway, the Aleutian
Islands and other battle areas" de-
clared Lieutenant Commander S. j.
Singer, executive officer of the Incen-
tive Division of the Navy Department,
in an address before the fifty seventh
convention of the Massachusetts State
Federation of Labor in Boston.
Commander Singer also said:
eve know that American labor will
do it's part in this war to preserve our
freedom, our right to live in peace
with peaceful neighbors, and to pre-
serve our utIHoCfdIiC way VI lile.
The United States has been called the
melting pot of all races, creeds and
nationalities that came here to live
in freedom. This diversity makes us
a tolerant nation, gives US respect for
the rights of each other and for those
of smaller nations, and demonstrates
that human beings throughout the
world have a natural love Of freedom.
To-day, the great melting pot is
boiling in defense of that freedom, and
free American labor is supplying the
fuel for the boiling process!"

ing regulations to make it easy for
men in the fighting forces to vote, and
valves the poll tax requirement pre-
vailing in eight southern states.
"Foes of the poll tax predicted pas
sage of the bill as it stands, and
pointed out that favorable action on
the Ramsay measure will assure COM
pletion of the petition to bring the
Geyer anti-poll tax bill to the floor of
the House for an early vote.
"a Congress alive to the need Of
guaranteeing democracy to the SOL
diers, sailors and marines who have
volunteered by the thousands from the
South, will be quick to act to pass
legislation making possible the restor-
ing of their democratic rights to the
10 million disfranchised southerners
now prevented from voting by poll
tax laws.
"Only 18 more names are required
to force the Geyer bill out of the COM
mittee where it has lain for more
than a year behind poll tax bottle
neck. We are confident the members
arriving in Washington on every train
will take advantage of this chance to
complete the Geyer petition and gain
speedy action in wiping out the un-
democratic poll tax for everybody
civilians and soldiers alike"

Emergency Action Taken

Another complication in the teacher
gas rationing. Many women who 9TH
erwise are willing to teach in rural
schools now are hesitant because they
can get neither priorities for tires nor
supplementary gasoline cards. Still
another difficulty is that many states
do not recognize teaching certificates
granted by other states. Educational
officials believe the shortage can be
met to great degree if states adopt
reciprocal certificate program.
Seven states are issuing teaching
certificates to 18 and 19-year- high
school graduates. In addition, 20
states are giving emergency certifi-
Gates to localities unable to supply
legally qualified teachers. Twelve
states, however, continue to require
four years of college, even for elemen-
tary school teachers.
Low Pay Sore Point
Pay, too, is sore point for many
teachers. An average monthly salary
of $77.42 a month, or less, is provided
in Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas,
Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North
Dakota, South Carolina and South Da-
kota. These states are among those
that face the most acute teacher
shortage.

Detroit Banks Collect Taxes

Detroit Detroit property owners
now can pay THEN taxes when they
do their banking. A recent city coun-
ell ordinance authorized 100 banks and
branches throughout the city to re-
ceive payments of current taxes,
though delinquent taxes will continue
to be collected only at the city hall.
The banks will receive no payment
for this service, the principal objec-
tives being convenience to the public
and conservation of tires.

Teacher Shortage Grows As
Ranks Are Depleted by Draft
And Higher Pay in Industry
City Areas With Higher Pay and Better Living Condi-
tiOns Attract Rural Teachers Making Situation More
Acute - Elementary Grades to Suffer Heavily.

Washington, d. C. (ILNS). - The
nation is short some $4,000 school
teachers and the shortage is increas-
ing weekly, as the draft and war
plants take men teachers and business
and industry make inroads on the
women personnel.
DIR. Benjamin w. Frazier of the
u. S. Office of Education says that
war industries, government service
and the Selective Service are pri-
marily responsible for taking the
teachers from their profession. The
situation is made all the more acute
because city areas, with their higher
salaries, better living and working
conditions and often longer tenure, are
drawing teachers from the rural Sec
tions.
Army Takes Many
The most serious teacher shortage,
DR.. Frazier says, is in the elementary
grades, the agricultural and industrial
arts, business and commercial educa-
tion, home economics, physical edu-
cation for men, physics, chemistry,
general science and mathematics.
AS an example, it is reported that
1,744 teachers of vocational agricul-
ture had left their field last year, and,
because many were graduates of land
grant colleges, where they had been
in R. O. T. c. units, % per cent were
called in as reserve officers.

Carpentry Held Vital

Carpentry is one of the vital war
construction occupations in which
widespread shortages loom," Patter-
son said, therefore immediate steps
should be taken to train more carpen-
ters. Upon the efficiency of that train
ing rests no small amount of success
of the whole war program"
The organizations which cooper
ated in drafting national carpentry
standards are the Associated General
Contractors of America, Inc, and the
National Association of Building
Trades Employers for management,
and the United Brotherhood Of Car
penters and Joiners of America for
labor.
The union is represented on the ma
tional joint committee, which con-
tinues to function as an advisory body,

president, and John r. Stevenson, sec
ond vice-president.

Standards Have Been Published and Are Now Available
to War Construction Contractors and Labor Unions
Intended AS Guides for Committees on Programs

Washington, d. c. (ILNS). = Ma

premiership, recently completed by
joint union employer effort, are de-
signed to facilitate the task of sup
plying qualified building tradesmen to
carry through the governments ST.
000,00O,000 war construction program
The standards have been published
and are now available to war con-
struction contractors and labor unions,
it is announced by William F. Pat
terson, chief of the apprenticeship
Training Service of the Federal Sc
curity Agency.
Jointly developed by representatives
of national building contractors asso-
Citations and the carpenters interna-
tional union, the national standards
are intended as guides for local en-
ployer-union committees in formulat-
ing apprentice training programs for
specific localities.
Labor Shortage Seen
A carpentry apprentice, according
to the standards, is young man serv-
ing term of apprenticeship under a
written agreement, of not less than
four years of reasonably continuance
employment. The written agreement
must include provisions for at least
144 hours of related classroom in
struction each year.
Also outlined in the standards are
the functions and powers of state ap-
premiership councils and local joint
committees, and the education and
physical qualifications of the candi-
dates. The problem of ratio of ap-
prentices to journeymen is a matter
to be worked out in the light of local
conditions by the joint committee
drafting the program, the standards
state.
