Unnecessary Delay May Bring Hardships
This Coming Winter.

stands to reason that if the mines
are now working at 80 per cent of
capacity (and industry has not yet
reached its peak of production
nor coal consumption), when the
peak does arrive Uncle Sam is 60
ing to see to it that those industries
get all the coal they want, as often
as they want it, and no questions
asked.
It is true that all will have to fore
60 some former necessities and COM
forts until this universal war is won.
But there is little reason to take
on a hardship which is doing no one
even the nations offensive for vic
tory-any good.
By waiting until it is practical
ly too late to order coal, most Of
which is then going to the fac
tories, the home owner is DELHI
erately Harvesting himself with
hardship-besides getting in the
way of the nations wartime
progress.
Like a Slow Freight.
Those who delay ordering coal
now for this coming winter may be
compared to slow freight train
heading towards its terminal with a
fast freight right behind it. The lat
ter is delayed from reaching its des-
tination on schedule. Your nations
victory efforts are all being carried
on that fast freight train. The dilly-
dallying, late-ordering home owner
is the slow freight.
But don't forget: Uncle Sam is
the dispatcher on that railroad. He's
a good one, too. What he's going
to do is shove the slow freight on to
a siding and let the fast freight
come on through.
I'm other words, those home
owners and other consumers
who haven't as yet ordered their
coal supplies, may have to be
sidetracked later this year in
favor of Uncle Sans more i'm
portant business of winning the
war. Cold feet now may re-
suit in even colder pedal extrem-
tiles this winter.
The fact that peak production of
American industry will be reached
during the coming winter months
isn't the only reason why you should
be now getting your coal.
Even today the railroad yards, the
river shipping docks and terminals
are damned to capacity. Railroad
ers will tell you. with a touch Of the
Paul Bunyan spirit, that the rails
just can't cool off. Rivermen will
tell you that no sooner do the waves
from one river vessel ease off on
the beach, before another swell
starts rolling in. When the peak is
reached in production you can mag
inc what the thousands of home own
ers who wait until later" to order
their coal are doing to add to the

5. What has been the income before taxes OF
business corporations in recent years?

The 100000 business corpora
tions of the country, as a whole,
lost money every year between
1880 and 1889. In the past few
years, only about 100000 of
these corporations. or less than
half. have shown any profits at
all as a result of their opera
tionS.
In 1886 and 1887 the operating
income of this latter group of
corporations was about 81 bill
lion and this figure also held for
1889. In 1888 the figure dropped

with the 1929 figure for these

WLB Panel Votes Higher
WuQes to CMC Unioneers

WASHINGTON, Aug l5-tUP) -
A war labor board panel, in a 2-to-
L vote with the employer represent
ative dissenting. today recommended
five cents an hour pay increase, a
union security shop and other con-
cessions for 225 900 General Motors
Corp. employees who sought a Sla
day pay raise.
The panel proposed a flat in
crease of li@ cents an hour as a
cost of living adjustment, plus
an additional 3i2 cents an hour to
equalize wage rates throughout all
General Motors plants with the
rates for comparable operations
throughout Ford plants"
Other recommendations handed
down by the panel, which took over
the General. Motors dispute April 27
on certification from the labor de-
partment, included vacations. a 10
cent bonus for night workers and
d minimum of three hours work for
call-ins after regular working hours.
In addition, the panel recon-
mended that all wage provisions be
made retroactive to April %.
II could not be determined i'm

els recommendations they are
accepted by the full beard - would
affect the future wage and work
status of the ll5,000,000 employees
Of the Ford Motor Co., and $4,000

SOUGHT BY CIO
The pay increase had been sought
by the United Automobile, aircraft
and agriculture workers and the
United Electrical, Radio and Ma
chine Workers of America (CIO)
which have enrolled NEST OF the
General Motors employees.
THE union security provision
would require that all members of

At Dutch Hurbor
Let Jops Escape

SEATTLE, Aug. l5-CUP)-Rep.
Warren c.. Magnuson, D., Wash.
reported last night that Japanese
naval forces escaped destruction at
Dutch Harbor because a standing
U. S. navy order was not interpreted
"liberally' by the army, but there

Failure on the part of one army
command to interpret literally
standing naval orders regarding
