Lively Discussions

(C0niiHued From Page Onr)
Up until now our firm has done all
it can 10 discourage our boys from
leaving the shop to go into defense
factories. II the above statement is
true, we hope the firm will reverse
it's attitude 50 that an acute hard
ship will be spared as much as pos
Siblc.
With the increase in the cost of li"-
ing, higher taxes, donations to chari-
ties, buying Defense Bonds, etc, there
is not much left of our pay for recrea-
tion, or the little Injuries that make
life worth living. Many feel if we can
moi have Il full 4O-hour week, vol
untary increase at this time would be
most acceptable.
We agree with the O. CS. from IA
and l33 about the recent editorials and
timely labor news which have been
appearing lately in The PottcrS Herald
The recent article by Ruth Taylor

AFL Declares OPA
Invites Disaster
Green Makes Charges In
Memorandum On Stand
Against "Freezing"

Washington, D. C.-The American
Federation of Labor asserted today
that war workers were facing "econm-
ic disaster" because of failure of the
Office of Price Administration to en-
force, effectively and vigorously, price
ceilings on consumer goods, and to in
stitute fair and democratic rationing."
William Green, president of the AFL.
made public a memorandum, including
the charges against the OPA, which,
he said, had been submitted to the
government as an outline of "basic
facts in opposition to wage freezing
The memorandum noted that the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics had estimated
that the cost-Of-living index had in
creased II per cent in the last twelve
months, and added:
I'm. most war-production centers the
increase has been far greater. In sin
gle war-industry towns, the prevalent
rise in the cost of living has ranged
between Is and 20 per cent, and in in
dividual communities it has been far
greater"
The memorandum also advanced the
following contentious:
There is incontrOvertible evidence
that the inflationary rise in prices and
increases in the cost of living have not
been caused by wage increases.
In the absence of an integrated and
decisive tax program corporate profits
even after taxes, have shown ire
mendous rise during 1941.
Freezing of wages will mean that
large and strategic groups of workers
will be put into straitjacket of sub
standard and deficient living which
spells failure to the battle of produc
ton.
British experience has shown thai
drastic application of rationing accom-
panied by vigorous fiscal policie:
makes wage freezing or wage contro
unnecessary, and that price initiation
can be fully kept in check without re
sort to wage control.
''There is no evidence, whatsoever
that wage freezing as embodied in th'
Canadian legislation has helped to pre-
vent initiation or has had any reSul
other than lowering the morale ant
living standard of the working people.

AT present" Mr.. Mathews says,
"WaShington tells us there are about

Production Of High
Grade CldYs Rises
In United States
Paper Industry Consumes
56 Per Cent Of Totdl
Shipments

For three straight years production
of a high-grade clay in the United
States has made new records In 1941,
sales of domestic kaOlin or china clay
jumped to 1OS7. .S4S short tons valued
at S9,205,S9 compared with S33, ,45O
tons valued at S6,994 1O6 in 1910, ac-
cording to the Bureau of Mines, United
States Department of the Interior. The
tonnage topped that of the previous
year by 81 per cent and was more than
double that of 1929. The paper indus
try alone required 10000 tons more
than in 1910 and consumed 56 per cent
of the total shipments. The country
needs more and more paper, larger
proportions of clay are used in making
highgrade paper, and domestic clay
is being used instead of imported clay
both as filler and coating. Percentage
wise, the consumption of clay for re-
fractories, pottery rubber, paint, and
certain minor uses increased even more
than shipments of paper clay.
Imports : almost all English clay
tary ware, and pottery, and to a di-
mniShing extent in porcelain and tile
amounted to only 66,935 short tons
with a foreign market of $685. ,502 fOl
the first 9 months of 1941. Import
statistics for the last quarter cannot
be published but the total for 194l
was undoubtedly less than the 105, ,56t
tons imported in 1910. Average figures
for 192j-29 show imports of 339, ,O14
tons and domestic shipments of only
453,61S tons a year and during the
period 19O9-13 the ratio of imports t(
domestic shipments was nearly to
(261 ,266 and 49,, ia tons year, re
spectively).
In 1911, as usual Georgia was the
leading kaolin mining state, producing
| 7S7, ,O13 tons or - per cent of the ma
tional total output. South Carolina
with 117,276 tons or 16 per cent of th'
total ranked second, and Pennsylvania
with 44,277 tons or t per cent, third
! Other producing states were, in orde
of output. Florida, California, NOrtl
Carolina, Virginia, Delaware, Illinois
Alabama, Maryland, Vermont, Utah
and Tennessee.
Nine firms, operating If mines ant
each producing 10000 tons or more
