Cure for Outlaw Strikes
Philadelphia Record

Philadelphia Record
 For setting shining example in discipinin9 union members responsible for unauthorized ol outlaw" strike, in violation of union contract the Philadelphia Driver Statesmen and Dairy Workers Union, AFI, wins national distinction
 As a result of the wildcat strike at the West Philadelphia plant of Supplee- Wis-Jones Milk Com pany, six weeks ago. the union agreed to the com- pany's dismissal of 15 who led the strike
 Seven either quit the union immediately, or had their temporary working cards revoked Now the union has tried the eight others found them guilty and imposed punishment.
 It has expelled six of them from the union for ever, action which disqualifes them from member ship in any other AFL union. A seventh ex- pelled for two years the eighth for 50 days to be followed by five years probation during which they barred from holding union office voting at meetings
 That's getting tough Taking mans job away from him is stiff punishment.
 But isn't that thousand times better than Government would have to step in and put labor unions under Federal control?
 Here is a union which, by prompt action, has said in plainest words: Our contract means what it says"
 It is bad enough for irresponsible members to abrogate their unions pledges in peacetime Tn wartime such tactics cannot be tolerated. The Driver -Salesmens union says Here is the way to stop it"

ABUNDANT SHORTAGE POLICY

The question of whether or not American farmers are going to be able to produce as much food next year as in former years is one which directly hits Alaskans dependent mainly upon the breadbasket of the continental United States for their eats.
 From the changing announcements coming out of Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wickards office in Washington, DC, it is hard to tell just what the situation is going to be. It is indeed unfortunate that definite policy with regard to farm labor has not been established.
 At present, Secretary Wickard says that Amari- cans including Alaskans will be well-fed next year and will have about much meat as in recent years Crop acreage, he says will be large as this years.
 Other sources, however. including the farmers have their doubts about this As yet they have re- ceived no adequate assurance that they to have farm laborers to replace those who have left for industry the armed services Skmpy tentative promises of protection of the labor supply that is left can't help the situation because the farmers must plan their l943 operations at once
 Frankly, the farmers and all Americans could stand for less talk and action. There is an immediate need of a definite policy
 Just last May, Secretary Wickard warned of a food shortage Earlier he had predicted that there would be no danger. Then again in July, he pre- dicted an abundance of food with no danger of meatless days
 In September, he came out again to of a shortage. And then few days later he said there was enough to keep stores filled with plenty of food
 In october, Secretary Wickard declared that

 If United Nations get control of the Mediterranean, they will be able to move African supplies to the Near East for soldiers and ci- vilians. At present food supplies for this region come largely from the United States. But now they should come from Morocco and other African points, thus relieving the strain on US. shipping
 The United States may resume commerce with Africa by taking a few strategic materials such as CO., bait and cork, but for the most part Africas supplies will be used around the Mediterranean.

GOLDEN BULLETS IN AFRICA

 It. Gen. Mark w. Clark let the cat out of the bag when he told how his boat upset just after his secret rendezvous with French military leaders and $l8,0OO in gold coin went to the bottom of the sea.
 Obviously, US. forces were talk ing lesson from the sage Chin csc custom of using silver bullets tsilver dollars Silver bullets, say the Chinese, save many lives"
 For a long time the idea of us- ing some of Ft. Knox's idle gold to loosen up North Africa had been discussed, and had been proposed in this column However, Treasury officials, and for a while also the State Department, were opposed
 How much was left ashore. be- fore Gen. Clark spilled the Sl8,000 overheard, is not known.

NEW AFRICAN TRADE

While War and Navy experts are delighted with the new military outlook in North Aftrica, State De- partment officials are gleeful over the economic consequences.
 North Africa, and to some ex- tent West Africa, have been inn portant sources of foodstuffs and other supplies for the Axis, includ- ng grain, wine, wool, vegetable oils and strategic materials such as iron ore, manganese, cobalt, and phosphates.
 The lack of these sources will be a bitter blow to Germany and Italy, and, by twist of fate, a still more tragic loss to France. Though the Axis took the lions share of the African resources, 20 percent was permitted to go to France. and the lack of these products, es- pecially food, will give France-as

SENATOR WHERRY OF
 NEBRASKA

Immediately after Senator George Norris was defeated for his sixth term in the Senate, he wrote a very cordial congratulatory letter to the man who defeated him, Re- publican Kenneth Wherry
 Your plurality is decisive and complete" Senator Norris wrote.
 Then he added, with a touch of very human candidness. that he, Norris, had hoped to stay in the Senate through the end of the war, to put into effect some of his ideas for lasting peace treaty. But he added:
 ,@In our democracy all loyal eiti- zens abide by the result of an election--honestly and fairly held and your election possessed both these qualities.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
FRIDAY, DECEMBER

This is rather an. uncertain day in planetary direction. Adverse as- poets are active. It is favorable date for making plans and for talk i ing stock of what has been accom- plished.
 HEART AND HOME: This is a promising day for constructive work in home or office. It is a. time to get rid of all that is unnecessary in the new year. The stars which stimulate riddance of things no longer useful have inspired the Government campaigns for gath ering whatever is superfluous and thus have inspired individual ef- fort to prepare for sweeping chang es in all that pertains to the in dividual. The year 1943 should be started without encumbranceS. Wise men and women will beware of retaining handicaps,
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Stock talk ing at the close of this year will , show many surprising conditions { that presage amazing changes in the next few months. Many mer- chants and manufacturers with small capital will end their efforts to carry on through wartime. Those with foresight will find in electron- ics and other new developments of modern science opportunities for beginnings along novel lines that are commercially promising. Manu- lecturers will turn attention to synthetics more astonishing in or gin than the compositions they re- place
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Unity of purpose will be more and more i revealed among economic heads in Washington but despite anti-infla- tion laws there will be criticism re- garding the rising cost of living Those who find fault with war conditions should deflate their own ideas of retaining all luxuries and comforts at old-time costs Men and women who go on living as usual, spending lavishly and ex- isting lazily are among the nation s enemies. Selfishness and greed are two human faults that have con- 1 tributed most to world difficulties INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS In our island warfare the United States has contributed to the Unit i ed Nations splendid men who have inherited the pioneer spirit of the I early Americans, the seers point out, and they declare that never has there been such test to he roism as the combination of a hundred climatic handicaps with i ferocious warfare The clash o1 civilized forces armed with all modern inventions with fighters who add to modern inventions bar barrie devices and methods of tor ture is daily to prove more suc- cessful for those who defend free dom
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of gain through hard work and trained intelligence. Loss or annoyance through business or correspondence may be expected.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be generous, enthusiastic and exceedingly clever. They have the forecast of success through life
