DAIRY FARMERS
AND MINE WORKERS

AND MINE WORKERS
MICHIGAN dairy farmers are be-
ing organized into a union to be
affiliated with the United Mine
Workers. The organizer is said to
be drawing $4,000 year as a sal
airy, and woman assistant is re-
ceiving $500. That is said to be
but a start at unionizing agricul-
ture, and it will not be long before
every ''hired man" must show a
paid-up union card, or get off the
job. I wonder if the government
will attempt to collect the dues for
the union by Withholding from farm
relief or parity payments. Who
would have thought five years ago
that farmers would be accepting
John L. Lewis as an overload boss?
It just does not seem possible, but
it is happening.

GENERAL MacARTHUR'S heroic
men were fighting an "an out" war
for us. They were on the job "a
hours a day, seven days a week.
They were not demanding the main
tenance of social gains" of eight
hours a day and five days a week.
They were not, fortunately for US,
subject to the orders of union boss.
They were willing to, and did, sac
rifce that America might win.
TWO MILLION Amer
leans are this year paying directly
to run the United States government
and to help finance the war. Nine
ty per cent of these have in
comes of less than $4,000 a year.
It is no longer the rich who are
paying the taxes. Practically all the
adult males, and a goodly proper
ton of the adult females are seeing
the tax collector.
THERE IS something radically
wrong with our system of govern
ment when in exchange for the priv
ilege of naming postmaster, rep
resentative in congress will vote to
impose an unnecessary burden of
debt on those who employed him
| the voters of his state or district.
WHEN GOVERNMENT takes over
industry, it will also take over
labor, and that may happen in the
not-too-distant future. When it does,
labor will work where" when %
"at what" and ''for what" govern
ment dictates. That is what hap
pened in Russia, Germany, Japan
and Italy.
MANY AN EXECUTIVE fails be-
cause he is more interested in how
the accountant holds his pen than
in the accomplishment of getting
the entries into the ledger.
RHETORIC AND ORATORY, in
short, talk, will not win the war.
We are talking about doing great
things-about our ability for mass
production-but that is not action.
Even vast congressional appropria-
tons are not final in achieving the
production the appropriations would
pay for, and that is needed to beat
the Germans, Italians and JAP
anese.
THE HARSHEST WORDS in the
English language are mo" and
don't" Ask any child about it.

two record in loop competition.
It was the seventh setback against

Generals stayed in the game for the
first 10 minutes, but thereafter the
Colonials got their bearings and
pulled ahead. They drove to a o. Is
edge at the half and right after
intermission added six more points
before the Generals could pick up
and match them in scoring for the
rest of the way.
Capt. Ed Cuttino Of washington
and Lee was the big threat for the
Colonials, dropping in IA points,
while Bobby Gilham was best Tor

want to disappoint the people who
wanted to see him in the Bahamas :"
There's one thing sure, though, 1t
didn't do the horse any harm"
Alsab is little heavier now than
he was when he became the glamour

$110, 500 as a 2-year old, but SABBATH
said he is not concerned.
Il don't think he is the type that
