No Tires For Reckless
Drivers, Chairman Says

Oxford, Reckless drivers and
those who travel too fast are risking
their chances of getting tires from
the local rationing board, Richard
Serviss, chairman, warned this week
beginning June l, we will be en-
powered to refuse applications for
tires if we have proof that the appli-
cant has wasted those he now pos
sesses," Serviss said.
The board has changed it's meeting
time from Saturday afternoon to We'd
nesday night to give defense workers
an opportunity to make applications
personally, the chairman announced.
A special session, however, is slated
for May %, when individuals who
failed to register for their war ration
books will have the opportunity to
get them.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

east was in such grave position that
it is hard to imagine the severity of it.
1t stood face to face with exception
ally difficult decisions. 1t was almost
decided to leave the enemy far behind,
thus leaving the destroyed zones which
he had created between him and our
positions.
"In this difficult situation the Fueh-
rer proved his greatness as military
leader. After hard struggles with HIM
self, he came to the decision to main
tain the conquered Russian territory.
Nobody knew better than he what
great hardships this would impose on
the troops"
Without camouflage at all was the
indictment of Hitler by the so-called
European Revolution" station, a Sc
cret outlet frequently used to harass
the Nazis.
Said the European Revolution" sta
tion: "The infallible Fuehrer, who had
underestimated his adversary, was
surprised with his army by the Rus
sian winter. The generals proposed to
evacuate the advanced positions and
to go into winter quarters along the
line Leningrad, Snolensk, Kiev, in
order to allow the troops the we'll
earned rest and to avoid unnecessary
man losses by cold and winter fighting.
But Hitler could not stand any Wis
ible retreat He preferred to dismiss
the generals and take the response
bility by himself of the annihilation of
hundreds of thousands of German
soldiers. When his offensive of des-
peration begins this summer, he will
have to fight for the most part with
exhausted troops"

AF.L. and Clio HEADS
AGREE ON PLANS TO
SETTLE ALL DISPUTES

Washington, D. c. 0LNS).-Presi-
dents William Green of the American
Federation of Labor and Philip Muir
ray of the Congress of Industrial Or
ganizations have agreed on plan for
settling all union jurisdictional dis
putes for the duration of the war.
Under the plan, jurisdictional dis
putes will be mediated by labor's rep
resentatives on the National War La
Dor Board. If that fails, the parties
agree to resort to arbitration. An
nouncement of the plan was made by
Chairman William H. Davis of the
labor board.
Davis said that under procedure
worked out by Green and Murray, "all
iurisdctonal questions in cases COM
ing before the War Labor Board will
be referred as a matter OF course to
the labor members of the board for
adjustment. If any particular dispute
cannot be settled by the labor mem
bers, Mr. Murray and Mr.. Green will
be so notified, and they will thereupon
promptly appoint group or indivld-
ual to make final and binding de-
termination of the dispute"
"Jurisdictional Disputes" the board
chairman added, "have always been
the most difficult to settle, because of
their very nature. The American
people will welcome this agreement
between the two labor organizations
for finally determining all jurisdic
tional disputes until the war is won."
The boards announcement of the
agreement also included this state
ment:
''This agreement will dispose not
only of disputes between unions af-
filiated with the two national organ
izations but also disputes between
unions within either which affect the
war effort"

STATE WAGE-HOUR LAWS

The commissioner of labor and sta.
tistics of Maryland, in a recent report
features a survey of earnings and
hours in service and retail establish
ments in the state made by the U. s.
Women's Bureau in cooperation with
his office.
This survey was made, says the re-
port, to determine the need of addi-
tional state legislation for the protec-
tion of Maryland workers not covered
by the federal wage-hour law. 1t re-
vealed that many men and women are
working long hours for meager wages
in the service industries, condition
which exists in many other states.
Men need the protection Of state
wage-hour laws as well as women, the
report says, declaring There is no
valid reason why men as well as
women should not be included in such
legislation"

FRIDAY, MAY Is. 1912.
SALES TAX AGAIN

Clamor for general sales tax is
again increasing, with an apparently
well organized campaign under way
to substitute the sales tax for in
creased income and other imposts.
The drive is being pressed despite
the vigorous opposition of the Treas
ury Department to general sales tax
which the department has shown
would be regressive, would place an
unfair burden on the poor, would be
hard to administer and would create
unrest and dissatisfaction.
Organized labor, which has always
fought the sales tax, will need to be
everlastingly ON the alert to prevent
this form of taxation from being
foisted on the people under the guise
Of necessary war legislation. Labor
legislative representatives at Wash
ington are watching the situation
closely and doing all they can to de-
feat a sales tax. They need the help
of all trade unionists in the nation,
who can aid by telling their Senators
and Representative why labor is OPP
posed to the proposed impost.

Washington, D. President vii.
liam Green urged 'every able-bodiec

through the American Red Cross

GOOD ADVICE

Here's some good advice from Mary
Anderson, director of the Women's
Bureau of the U. S. Department of
Labor:
GAS the need for women workers be-
comes more urgent in order to reach
maximum production in expanding
was industries such as aircraft, small
arms, ammunition and instrument
making, we must not foolishly weaken
our Industrial strength by hastily
scrapping sound labor legislation now
on the books In the interest Of in
dustria efficiency and the national
good we must make every effort to
safeguard the health and living stand
ards Of all wage earners, both men
and women.
"We have our own years of expert
ment and study plus the recent British
experience to show us clearly that
stretching the work week beyond rea-
sonable limits actually will prevent US
from reaching the goals of all-out
production"
Years of experience have proved the
truth Of what Miss Anderson says. If
the states and nation disregard the

THE
CHERRY TREE
Where with eur Little Ratchet we tell
the truth about many things, sometimes
profoundly. sometimes Hippantly, some
times recklessly. -.

Those who do not live on the At
lantic seaboard don't quite realize
what the war has come to mean along
the great east coastal area.
1t is advance notice of more to come.
Two things bring the war home to
almost every person. One is the
screening" Of lights. The other is
gasoline rationing. Wow! That bites!
The screenout means NO bright
lights. City after city shows only the
faintest of lights none outside at all,
except shaded street lights Driving
what little there isis with park
ing light only NO headlights. Speed,
20 miles per hour, or less. For in
many places even 20 miles is too fast
for safety.
Sugar rationing, of course, is ev-
erywhere. And doesn't hurt many per-
sons much
But there is minimum Of COM
plant. even against the gasoline sit
uation.
People are coming rapidly to un-
derstand what "all-out" war means
and that the price must be paid by
all people.
There is wonderment-it looks JUS
tiied-as to whether gasoline ration
ing could have been forestalled by the
right action in the months gone by.
There is wonderment about what
hand the railroads may have played
in preventing construction of pipe
lines. And whether there was other
between competing forms Of
rtation-truck, rail and water.
Certain it is that inland waterway
possibilities have been overlooked all
too long.
But the people aren't questioning
the necessity NOW Of rationing and
they aren't kicking about anything
that will help win the war.
They may kick at some point at
what may be found to be the real
cause of current shortages.
When the war began it was GER
tainty that tanker capacity would be
cut, by one means or another and
that other means of transporting gas
oline would be needed. But they'll
take the lid off that later on, when it
won't hurt the war.
1t is good thing to get into the
way Of thinking that the war is going
to call for more and more discomfort
and sacrifice. The Atlantic seaboard
are just the beginning. Cities
further inland may look for the same
sort Of thing sooner or later-prob-
ably sooner.
Some foods will get scarcer and
scarcer. Not any price will get them,
because they just won't exist.
Rubber was fore-runner, but by
no means the end of the line. Many
commodities using rubber will go off
the market, just as those using alu-
minum are passing out.
Then will come the new taxes.
War costs lot of money almost
all the money there is.
But victory at any price is cheaper
than defeat for nothing for in defeat
we should lose everything.
1t is because the people generally
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1942-05-15

understand the impossibility of per-
hitting defeat that there is an almost
cheerful acceptance of the hardships
that have come thus far and willing
ness to face whatever new ones there
may be.
One doesn't need to think of the
men on Corregidor, or the Commandos
Of England to feel that civilian sacri-
fees are mild. One has but to look at
the awful and abysmal misery of de-
feat.
All this nation asks of it's leaders
is victory-at any price!
Material things are of small value
in such times as these.
The great ethical and spiritual
values of life are taking their right
full places in the thoughts of men and
women.
The four freedoms and all of the
little freedoms are at the top of our
thinking. In democracy you can
as the old adage has it-"live each
day so you can look every damn man
in the face and tell him to go to hell"
That was almost the main rule of the
frontiers of our country. But in die
tatorship you can only tell that to
those who are utterly helpless and
even then you must be careful.
Americans love their freedoms with
utter and inexhaustible devotion. -

DOTH Nazi military leaders inside
ID Germany and anti-Nazi spokes-
men outside appear suddenly to have
taken up a common theme-to make
the German people understand that
Hitler alone was responsible for last
winters bloody Russian campaign.
This sidelight on Hitler's Reichstag
speech of April 26 giving Germans
the bad news that they would have to
face another winter of war, was re-
vealed in broadcasts received by the
Foreign Broadcasting M onitoring
Service of the Federal Communica-
tions Commission.
The broadcasts showed that even
Marshal Goering, shortly before open
ing the Reichstag meeting, was saying
over the Berlin radio: "Hitler's bold
strategy is responsible for the mighty
battles of annihilation against Russia.
The defensive battles of the hor-
rible winter were carried out by Adolf
Hitler's iron energy and infexible will
to resist"
Goering often expresses the view of
the German military command as OPP
posed to those of the Nazi party lead
ers. His seemingly laudatory phrases
conveyed the idea that it was Hitler
and only Hitler who made the decision
to keep the German army on the
battle line, against the advice of his
generals who wanted to withdraw and
save the troops for a spring drive.
This theme was even less hidden by
praise in a speech of Colonel-General
Dittmar which was quoted over the
Berlin short-wave.
"In the beginning of winter" the
general said, "the German army in the

Mrs. Roosevelt Assails
Anti-LabOr Propaganda

New York City Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt has launched a counter-at-
tack against labor -baiters.
"There has been a decided propa-
ganda drive against labor" she said
to a Y. W. G. A. meeting. 1T is not
only directed at the public mind, but
it is also being done in the armed
forces"
Mrs. Roosevelt said that the "aw-
fully clever people" conducting the
campaign were seeking to spread the
idea that it was unpatriotic for work
ers to receive decent wages while sol
diers got less.
She said it was the duty of the
American worker to preserve labor
standards for workers at the front.
For the sake of national unity, she
said, "all of US" should fight the false
propaganda that American labor has
retarded the war effort.
