Garbage Men S
Economy Plan
Shown TO City

IF more responsibility was
shifted onto garbage collection
crews, Detroit could save thou
sands of dollars annually, men,
bers OF Local 285 State, County
and Municipal Workers (CIO) con-
tended today in a recommendation
given to Mayor Edward J. Jeffries
Jr.
A program outlined by the
locals president, T. j. Coleman.
advocated permitting drivers and
helpers to decide how many col
lections each area needed rather
than making blanket rulings.
Pointing out that the garbage
collector is most closely associated
with ordinance violations, Cole
man said each driver should be
provided with education pamphlets
to pass out to those who do not
obey rules.
A labor-management committee
should be set up, the program
said, to aid in increasing depart
ment efficiency. Coleman de-
clared a fair wage increase, that
would keep workers at a level
with other city employees, would
aid the morale OF the men.

Ford Cuts Time :
On Armor Plate

A new method OF Strengthening
arnor plate which drastically cuts
the usual time for this process and
speeds up the delivery of plate for
tanks. was announced today. by
the Ford Motor Company.
The ordinary method of straight
ening armor plate, which is warped
when II is cooled, takes at least
two hours. the company stated.
The new method cuts this time TO
three 10 eight minutes and does
IL better.
Ordinarily, arrnor plate Is cooled
In water tanks or by sprays, but
the Ford method uses water-cooled
dies which are connected by a
roller track TO the continuous fur
mace through which the plate
passes during the heating and
hardening process.
AS the strip Of steel comes from
the furnace. ii is pushed on TO the
water-cooled dies, which grip the
plate in $500 tons Of pressure. A
few minutes later IL is cooled and
Strengthened and ready to be an.
nealed.

The President has the powers.
under the Constitution and under
congressional acts. 10 take meas
ures necessary 10 avert a disaster
which would interfere with the
winning of the war.

consult with the Congress.
There may be those who will
say that, II the situation is as
grave as I have stated II 10 be, L

now.
1 can only say that I have APP
preached this problem from every
angle. and that I have decided that
the course of conduct which l am
following In this case Is consistent
with my sense of responsibility as

my deep and unalterable devotion

asked the Congress for Legislation
to stabilize all farm prices.
Asked Congress to Act
on Taxes, Farm Prices

At that time I had told the Con-
eress that there were seven ele-
ments in our national economy,
all of which had to be controlled;
and that II any one essential ele-
ment remained exempt. the cost OF
living could not be held down.
On only two of these points
both of them vital. however-did l
call for congressional action. These
were: first, taxation: and, second,
the sterilization of all farm prices
at parity.
PARTY" is a standard for the
maintenance OF good farm prices,
liz was established as our national
policy in 1888. 1t means that the
farmer and the city worker are or
the same relative ratio with each
other in purchasing power as they
were some 30 years ago--at time
when the farmer had a satisfac-
tory purchasing power. One hun
dred per cent parity, therefore, has
been accepted by farmers as fair
standard for their prices.
Last January. however, the Con-
.gress passed a law forbidding cell
ings on farm prices below ITO per
cent of parity on some commodi-
ties. On other commodities the
ceiling was even higher, so that
the average possible ceiling is now
about 116 per cent of parity for
agricultural products as whole.

Requested Authority
TO Effect Sterilization

Therefore, I have asked the
Congress TO pass legislation under
which the President would be spe-
authorized to stabilize the
cost Of living, including the price
of all farm commodities.
The purpose should be TO hold
farm prices at parity or at levels
of a recent date, whichever is
higher. The purpose should also
be to keep wages at point
stabilized with today's cost of liv-
ing. Both must he regulated at
the same time: and neither can or
should be regulated without the
othe
At the same time that farm
prices are stabilized, will stabil-
ize wages.
This is plain justice-and plain
common sense.
I have asked the Congress to
take this action by the first of
October. We must now act with
the dispatch which the stern
necessities of war require.
l have told the Congress that
Iinaction on their part by thai
date will leave me with an ines.

pie OF this country to see to il
that the war effort is no longer

Favori+ism Raised
Cost TO Everybody

This act of favoritism for one
particular group in the community
increased the cost of food to every
body-not only to the workers in
the city or in the munitions plants,
and their families, but also to the
families of the farmers themselves.
Since last May. ceilings have
been set on nearly all commodities,
rents and services. except the ex-
empted farm products. Instalment
buying has been effectively con-
trolled.
Wages in certain key industries
have been stabilized on the basis OF
the present cost Of living.
It Is obvious, however. that II
the cost of food continues TO 60
up, as it is doing at present, the
wage Garner. particularly in the
lower brackets, will have right
to an increase in his wages. That

Living Costs Threaten
to Get Out of Hand

We know that parity prices for
farm products not now controlled
will not put up the cost of living
more than a very small amount;
but that if we must go up TO an
average of 116 per cent of parity
for food and other farm products
which is necessary at present
under the Emergency Price Con-
troll Act before we can control all
farm prices-the cost of living
will get well out OF hand. We are
face to face with this danger to-
day. Let us meet it and remove 1t.

of proportion to you TO be worry
ing about these economic prob
lens at a time like this when we

news from far distant fields of
battle. But ] give you the solemn
assurance that failure TO solve
this problem here at home-and

IN Purchasing Power

That would mean that the pur-
chasing power of every dollar you

the bank. or included in your in

cents. l need not tell you that this
would have a demoralizing effect
on our people. soldiers and civil
ians alike.
Overall sterilization of prices,
salaries, wages and profits is
necessary TO the continued increas-
ling production of planes and tanks
and ships and guns.
In my message today have told
the Congress that this must be
done quickly. If we wait for two
or three or four or six months 1t
may we'll be too late.

Use of Executive Power
Essential in This War

The responsibilities of the Presi-
dent in wartime TO protect the
nation are very grave. This total
war. with our fighting fronts all
over the world, makes the use OF
executive power far more essen
tial than in any previous war.
If we were invaded, the people
of this country would expect the
President 10 use any and all
means to repel the invader.
The Revolution and the war
between the states were fought on
our own soil but today this war
will be won or lost on other con-
tinents and remote seas. cannot

The American people can be sure

Constitution and TO my country
The American people can also
be sure that / shall not hesitate TO

When the war is won, the pow

whom they belong.

farmers. 1 know that they are as

Problem Of Freezing
Living Costs Incomplete

The answer is that we are not
doing enough.
Today l sent a message TO the
Congress, pointing out the over
whelming urgency: of the serious
domestic economic crisis with
which we are threatened. Some
call il initiation" which is a vague
sort of term. and others call II a
rise in the cost Of living" which
is much more easily understood by
most families.
That phrase, "the cost Of liv-
ing" means essentially what q
dollar can buy.
From Jan. /, 1941. to May OF
this year, the cost OF living went
up about Is per cent.
At that point we undertook tc
freeze the cost of living. But we
could not do a complete job of II
because the congressional author.

food and for making clothing;

difficult the winning Of this war.

ever gets under way. the whole
economic system will stagger.
Prices and wages will 60 UP SO
rapidly that the entire production
program will be endangered.
The cost of the war. paid by tax
payers. will jump beyond all pres
ent calculations. 1t will mean an
rise in prices and
in wages which can result in rails
ing the overall cost OF living as
high as another 20 per cent.
