OF the above one is receiving treat
ment at the Veterans Hospital at
Fort Harrison, Al are inmates, and
10 are the wives of inmates of the
State tuberculosis Sanitarium in
Galen, while two others are receiving
treatment in private hospitals The
balance are living in their homes.
Since July 1, 1912, over 375 persons
have made application for silicosis
benefits, Of these 256 are receiving
beenfits, 80 have been denied, rs are
deceased, while IL cases are awaiting
completion Of investigations and trans
portation to Galen for examination.
The total obligations paid for this
program since July 1, 1941 are as fol-
lows:
Benefits paid -............---.---$50 ,200.50
Medical examinations -. 1880
Transportation ................ $4,000
1t is the opinion of the State De-
partment of Public Welfare that the
majority Of silicotics have now ap-
piled for benefits, and even though a
small increase in the number Of ap-
proved cases is expected, it is not
anticipated that it will materially in
crease the amount of benefits now
being paid.

these workers. Today, out of tota
assets aggregating $685., 1886, oul
insurance fund represents $23,314,
754,28 which fund is under the super
vision Of insurance departments in
the United States and Canada.
Contrary to the impression which
fascist-minded individuals would like
to establish, the remainder of ouI
funds is not dedicated to the evil pur
poses that labor-baiting congressman
see in every labor union Our assets
also cover a building fund, funeral
benefit fund, a pension fund, sub
ordinate lodge officers bonding fund.
These assets also cover the operating
expenses of our many officers and
representatives throughout the United
States, Canada, Newfoundland, Alas
ka, and the Panama Canal Zone.
We are a democratic organization.
We have many elected representa-
tives. Our congress" that is our
quadrennial convention, is composed
of delegates almost twice as numer-
Gus as those who represent all of the
American people in the national con-
gress. The cost of electing our Off
GERS and representatives runs into the
thousands of dollars, but the result
ing democracy is we'll worth it.
We also spend thousands of dollars
each year in printing officers reports
in which there is detailed every penny
received and disbursed. Our reports
are available to the public. Our fl
nancial statements are audited by
Certified Public Accountants and are
likewise available to any interested
party. Our official constitution may
be read by anyone who cares to ex-
anime it. On request, we will gladly
furnish copies of our contracts or
agreements with the carriers.
Does this mean, then, that the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
would favor such legislation as that
embodied in H. R. 6444, introduced on
January %, 1912, by Congressman
Vinson of Georgia? Decidedly not
And for the same reasons that bust
ness men would protest the enact
ment of such a bill if its provisions
were directed against business.
No member of congress, least of all
member of the house committee on
naval affairs who signed the majority
report, would favor bill requiring
a business executive to register with
the department of commerce a con-
tract with local office supply store,
calling for the delivery Of one swivel
chair Yet, H. R. 6444 would require
us to file with the department of COM
merce an agreement between one of
our subordinate lodges and a carrier
providing for the installation of
drinking water cooler out in Podunk-
vile. We have thousands of agree
ments, many of them local in char
acter, copies of which even our own
Grand Lodge office does not possess.
If local officer failed to report such
an agreement "the officers, directors,
trustees, and other members of the

nights. Little winter injury is appar-
ent in southwestern portions of the
belt where fields are affording con-
siderable pasturage. Sunshine is
needed in the Pacific northwest.
Some spring oats and barley were
seeded during the week as far north
as southern Kansas but seeding is
where moisture is needed. Rains
were helpful for spring oats seeding
in the South Atlantic area.
Cold weather prevailed generally
throughout Europe but snow cover
was considered satisfactory. Seeding

fetal rains were received in India

factory wheat harvest is still possible.
The Argentine government is advis-
ing growers not to exceed last years
wheat and linseed acreage while trade
authorities are pressing for measures
to reduce planting Remaining sur
pluses of wheat in Argentine were
officially estimated, February Z, at
242,411000 bushels of wheat approx
mately 920,000000 bushels of corn;
and S6,417,00O bushels of flaxseed.
CASH WHEAT: Receipts of cash
wheat at the Minneapolis market
amounted to 992 cars during the week
which was considerably less than dur
ing recent weeks. Trading ranges of
cash wheat were about unchanged as
compared with the futures but de-
mand was not very aggressive and 1t
is doubtful if larger offerings would
have moved without weakening the
basis. Mills have good reserve stocks
on hand and the question of space
continues an important one. Ordinary
protein No l Dark Northern spring
wheat was quoted within range of
&c to SC under the Minneapolis May
price; No. dark northern 10c to DC
under; and No dark northern 15c
to &C under. Protein premiums were
steady in the higher brackets but 1870
protein lots brought little premium
over the 1870 kind. Thirteen percent
protein lots were quoted 1c over the
base; 1496 protein 4c over; 1870 pro-
tein &c over; and 1870 protein &c over.
Inspections indicated 81 cars of win
ter wheat and $50 cars of durum in
the weeks receipts. Average protein
content of the hard red spring wheat
tested during the week was 1862
compared with 14.47% a year ago.
Durum averaged 1920 protein for
the week. Minneapolis May wheat |
advanced 5s for the week and closed |
Friday, February 10, at $1.23 70.
Durum wheat futures showed indie
pendent strength as elevator interests
bought back hedges outstanding
against low grade durum which was
being exchanged for the spring bread
wheat under the CCC feed wheat pro-
gram. This purchasing power in the
durum futures raised the Duluth May
option &c for the week and the Du-
Iuth May durum closed Friday, Feb
ruary 10 at $1.20. Premiums on cash
milling durum ran within about an
range during the week.

Mediate milling quality ran at sc to

'fThe question answers itself, my

governing body" of this Brotherhood,
under HR. 6444, could be prosecuted
and fined mot more than $4,000" and
imprisoned "for not more than one
year, or both" Mr. Wilson's bill
might afford good way to imprison
all of the labor leaders in America,
but I submit that American workers
are fighting Hitlerism here as well
as abroad.
Why does H.R. 6444 place all Amer
lean labor unions under the super
vision and close inspection of the
United States department of COM
merce, which is VIGOROUSLY big-busi-
the impression of graceful impartial
ity H.R. 6444 also brings trade asso-
Citations" within it's purview. But the
secretary of commerce, in theory and
in practice a representative of en-
ployers, is given sweeping powers to
demand "such other information" as
he desires Also under this bill, the
secretary of commerce may treat as
confidential, or restrict the inspection
of, any information contained" in the
data requested by him. A fundamen-
tai constitutional freedom, the right
ito be secure in their persons, houses,
papers and effects against unreason-
able searches and seizures" apparent
ly means nothing to the author of H.
R. 6444, that is, so far as working
mems organizations are concerned.
Although the majority report of the
house committee on naval affairs
showed unconscionable profits of
American corporations holding, de-
Tense contracts, it is significant that
Congressman Vinson did not see fit to
act upon his own findings, including
the fact that individual companies
=. reported average profits rang
ing as high as 24.5 percent on COM
pleted contracts and 21.5 on uncom-
pleted contracts" page of report
of committee on naval affairs).
Pages "a, 35 and SO of the commit
tees report reveal fragrant instances
of profiteering on naval contracts.
More than half of all navy contractors
realized average net profits on their
navy business in excess of percent
Here are some specific examples:
General Motors Corp, Cleveland
Diesel Engine Division, profits rang
ing from IL to 81 percent; Both Iron
Works, 8 to 20 percent; Bendix Avia-
ton Corporation, Eclipse Aviation Di-
vision, 81 percent; Maryland Drydock
Co., 44.5 percent; Weston Electrical
Instrument Corporation, 246 percent
on one contract; the Aluminium Com
pany of America, 129 percent.
OF course, none of these companies
is as fortunate as the Toledo, Peoria
& Western Railroad, whose 1910 div
idends of 1000 percent were exceeded
by it's 1941 dividends, estimated at
$500 percent. The 7. P. & w. is the
railroad whose hard-boiled president,
George Plummer McNear, Jr., was ar
resthed on a charge of violating the
criminal provisions of the Railway |
Labor Act, and whose utter disregard |
for the principles of collective bar
gaining precipitated a strike on his |
property.
But profiteering corporations appar-
emily are to remain immune to legis-
lation drafted by Congressman Vim
son.
1t cannot be denied that the house
of representatives has permitted in

that they are wholly incapable of
