The Consumer Would Pay

A short time ago, one of the large la bor unions started an aggressive cam paign to organize dairy workers in the Chicago milk shed. If that campaign succeeds, it will undoubtedly be extended to all other milk-producing areas. The interest of the consumer in this is ob- vious. If union leaders manage to or ganize these workers, the consumer will do the paying-and imitation will get another boost forward.
 Farm work is basically different from industrial work. The farm worker gets many tangible benefits beside cash wag- es-a home, light and water, part of his food, a pleasant place for his family to live, etc. And any effort to place the farm worker on the same basis as the industrial worker when it comes to pay and working hours, will dangerously dis locate the American economy.
 Dairy farmers and all others are al- ready paying record wages-and those wages have offset most of the benefits that have resulted from higher farm pric- es. Union regimentation of agricultural labor would play havoc in millions Of American homes.

Uncle Sam Means Business

There is fairly general idea that a great deal of chiseling is going on against price and rationing regulations. Prob ably there is some. But Leon Tender sons office wants it understood that there are penalties attached, and judges have made it clear that those penalties will be applied.
 An Indianan who broke rationing regulation was sent to jail for Is months and fined $5OO A California tire boot legger was fined $3,0O0 and given years suspended jail sentence. A Minnesotan who lied about the sugar he had on hand was sent to jail for six months and fined S2,1O0. Three Texas price-ceiling viola tors were fined $3,0O0 and sent to jail for 20 months each. It does not pay to try Uncle Sam's patience too far.

A Thought for Today
Labor Day

Labor Day was sponsored originally by the Knights of Labor first general trade union organization in this country, which had much more resemblance to the present-day c. l. o. than to the A. F. of L. Quite naturally, perhaps, we nave come to think of Labor Day as the particular property of those workers who are organized into trade unions - the oneS of whom we speak, reverently or fearfully, as Labor with a capital "L."
 But since this year we are fighting a bloody war for the preservation of democracy, let's talk about democratic labor with the small 'l' which comprises perhaps 85 or 90 per cent of those who work for living. Because of the shortsightedneSS and sometimes the selfishneSS of certain union officials, Labor with the capital "L" - has brought upon itself frequent severe denunciation.
 But Labor is made up largely of laborers. And the record will show that labor - the men who actually do the work - has proven itself as actively, sacrificially patriotic as any element in our population. Because of our geo. graphical position, because of our vast natural resources and because of our pro- ductive capacity, the anti-e Ois world is forced to depend upon the United States for much of the material of war.
 Upon the shoulders of American labor the fate of the world rests today. If labor continues to come through as it has been doing, totalitarianism can be whipped. If labor were to let down, as nobody has the right to expect that it will, then all the courage of all the soldiers and sailors of the United Nations cannot save us. The point to be kept in mind is that democracy depends upon American labor, not American Labor. The first, without the capital IT," includes the 85 per cent who are not unionized, plus probably 99 per cent of those who do belong to unions.
 The boys in the front lines look for their weapons and munitions to the men at the machines - not to the relatively few union officials who show an inclination sometimes to forget that this is not their private war. The men behind the machines are you and us, the folks with whom we brush shoulders on the street, in busses and trolleys and elevators.
 Give them a chance to speak for them selves, and these millions are as willing to sacrifice for the preservation of democracy as any loud-voiced street corner orator. So on Labor Day this year let's forget that the first Monday in September used to be dedicated to Labor, and in the brief moment that we can spare from production for war, let us remember that labor should not be branded for the sins of few of its self proclaimed oracleS.

means that the value of money is going down. We buy enough insurance and put enough in the bank to finance old age. Money loses value. Then we can't live on our savings.
 We buy gilt-edged bonds, and save for a home of our own. When we SelT the bonds, we collect their face value. But they will pay for only half of a house, ii money has lost half of its value.

In an address before the International Students Assembly the other day Pres ident Roosevelt was actually addressing the youth of the world. The President pointed out the difference between free dom through victory of the United Nations and destruction through the Nazi system. we have profited by our past mistakes" he said This time we shall know how to make full use of vic tory. This time the achievements of our fighting forces will not be thrown away by political cynicism and timiditty and incompetence" He promises to those who have had to give up their homes, jobs, and interrupt their education that there will be no "mess" when this war is over. What the President prom ises and hopes for is the common hope of all who realize more and more that the present world turmoil is the worst mess of all times.

About Imitation

Perhaps one reason why the American people have not worried enough about imitation is because they have an exag gerated notion what it is. The Spectac- ular way to present the idea is by citing Germany'S experience, eliminating in 1928, when in December it would have taken 1900 400, 100000 marks to buy what one mark-23.8 centS-bought in 1913.
 Translated into American money, that would be equivalent to having to pay $132, 2,044, 100000 (one hundred thirty-two billions, forty-four millions of dollars) for the loaf of bakers bread that costs II cents today.
 We all know that there is not going to be such imitation as that in the United States. We are convinced that there will not even be imitation such that bread will cost $1,000 a loaf, or a stamp to mail letter $250, which is about where Ger many was in July of 1922, before her no- torious imitation really got its second wind and started running
 Assured that such fears are silly, we dismiss warnings as the academic night mares of overworked economists, and re- fuse to be worried. A bird in the hand, we love to say, is worth two in the bush Let's eat, drink and be merry, and let to- morrow take care of itself.
 Unfortunately, imitation does not have to get to the one trillion, two hundred bil- lion stage in order to do incalculable harm. At the two-to-one stage it can work hardship At the four-to-one 1t can wipe out the savings of provident life time. At eight-to-one it could ruin the American economy and put this nation through the wringer of effective bank ruptcy.
 imitation may sound academic, but rnally it isn't. Imitation means merely That money has lost some of it's value. ft won't buy as much, In the way oi use iuI goods. as 1t did or should. 1nElation

Press Comment
LEARNING NOT TO STRIKE
(Christian Science Monitorl

(Chr1Stlan Sclence MOAlVoIl
 Defense workers in the United States apparently are learning that they were not only losing public support for themselves by striking, but actually giving the whole labor union movement a black eye. The report Of the War Labor Board, which shows that strikes in war ll- dustries caused a loss of 1,i3O,678 man-days of work during the first seven months of the year and that nearly 300,000 workers violated the non-strike pledge of their organiza- ton leaders, also shows that only seven strikes affecting such plants were in prgoress on September l. The decrease is gratifying. One in- dication of the changed attitude Of workers was the recent announce ment by telegraph company em- ployes that they would rot strike even if refused increased pay.
 The strike record progressively grew worse during the first half Of the year. During January only 46,- 900 man days were lost. but in June the loss was 255 900 mau-days. The number of strikes increased from 3l in January to 222 in July. It should be pointed out, however. that non-defense strikes were probably three or four times as many.
 If President Roosevelt believed the war workers would learn to re- frain from striking when he asked the Senate to hold up the Smith bill to curb labor disputes in defense industries, after the House had passed 1t, he can point to the ree- ord to prove his foresight. How. ever, another factor ln the sliua. ton has been the WLB's increasing ly vigorous action against open strikes,

grace of God shown to be sufficient.
 St. Paul once prayed God that he might be relieved of what he referred to as a thorn in his flesh. This God declined to do. But He assured the Apostle that He would put such grace and power into his heart that the presence Of the thron would make no difference. Even as Paul prayed and the Most High in a kindly fashion denied his request, He was adding power upon power to the-Apogtle's life, until, in spite of his atflictlon Paul was made adequate to everything that life demanded.
 Gods greatest blessing Is cons ferred upon us not when He grants our requests but when He gives us something betier than We know how Co ask for. The lame heggaF at the gate of the temple asked Peter and John for aims. and they gave hsm healing. We often ask Goo for 6 stone and He graeIously gives us bread.
 Kingsley does not tel us whether God rescued him from his trouble or net. He simply declares that God answered his cry with 6 still small voice and made him equal 70 the circumstances he had to cone front,

like a rabbit. It starts faster and can hop in any direction.
 MT. Williams does not say so, but perhaps one reason for de- ficiencies in U. s. fighter planes has been the fact that U. s. fac- tories fooled up for one model, then were unable to change in a hurry.
 British mistakes which williams believes the United States might profit from include:
 l. Pirating labor. British law now forbids a factory worker to change his job without the consent of the government. This is to prevent big firms from hir- ing men away from little firms.
 2. Priorities. When a British manufacturer gets a war order,
 an order for raw materials is attached to the contract. This
 is automatic, and there is no
 worry about priorities
 3. Drafting men from indus
 try to the army. Britain did
 this at first, then had to send
 them back. There is no use
 having a big army in the field,
 says Williams, if there are not
 enough men at home to keep 1t properly equipped.
 Meanwhile, 70 per cent of Bri- tain's ammunition is turned out by factories employing 50 workers or less.
 SENATOR CARAWAY'S "SIN"
 Quite, dignified Hattie Caraway, the senates only feminine member, is chairman of a Senate sub-com- mittee on rivers and harbors. She presided at hearings on oil trans portation.

 ELMER FAVIS' TOUGH JOB
 Government friends of Elmer Davis are both sympathetic and skeptical over his decision to go on the air once a week to report to the nation.
 They figure that this is a case of a shoemaker reaching for his last. Davis, none too happy with the difficult job of running the Office of War Information, and hamstrung on a lot of ideas, has now decided to go back to the ra- dio broadcasting which made him famous. This time he will speak not for a sponsor but for the goy- ernment.
 Internationally his broadeasts will be a hit-at first. But the job of originating news which mou.ds the destiny of a nation, rather than commenting on news which already has been originated may be a tough assignment. ARGENTINE TRADE
