TRAvEL MiWARHmE

TINE fact that the United States
L is a nation of travellers is
largely due to the efforts of the rail-
roads to increase passenger bust
ness by cultivating the desire to 60
places and providing attractive
transportation to get there. 1t is
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1942-10-29

therefore surprising to find the railroads withdrawing
accustomed passenger services and urging the American
people to refrain from unnecessary travel. This, however,
is being done and will be done increasingly.
The reasons for this more need to be yeeoguized and
understood.
The passenger transportation required by our armed
forces is enormous and is increasing every day. This
must be met in full and will be, come what may.
Civilian travel essential to winning the war has also
grown tremendously and will continue to grow. For this
the railroads must provide transportation to the limit of
their ability to do so.
After these comes the movement of civilians whose
travel, however important to themselves, is not an indis-
pensable part OF the war effort. SO far the railroads have
done about all they have been called upon to do for these
travellers. However, the time is at hand when there will
have to be an increasing curtailment of this kind of travel
to make way for war transportation.
Changes are being made in railroad passenger serv-
ices. Seasonal trains to Florida have been ruled out.
There will be no chartered cars or special trains excent
for military business. Second sections of established trains
Will not be operated except where they have been oper-
ated regularly IN the past. Passenger schedules are being
heightened to accommodate longer trains and more stops.
Such changes are beng made to insure that the railroads
continue to provide all the passenger transportation that
is needed to win the war.
This will call for some sacrifice by all of us. It will
mean giving up, possibly for the duration of the war, the
cherished privilege of going whenever and wherever we
please. knowing it is for our national war effort, we all
should and will respond willingly, c~heerfully. In SO doing
we shall be contributing to the ultimate victory wherein
lies our hope for preservation of the American way fife.

Mexilan Labor
Streams North
Expected to
Sove Beet Crop

LANSING, April 3 Up 49,
Mexican laborers, regarded as
the hope of the Michigan sugar
beet industry's labor problem
this summer, already are mi
grating to Michigan at the rate
of 200 a day, the State Health
Department reported today.
DR.. T. M Koppa, director Of
the Bureau Of Epidcmiology,
said $4,000 Mexicans would be
used in Michigan beet fields
this summer, at least twice the
usual number. The demands for
an increased beet sugar produc-
ton this year and scarcity of
farm labor have increased de
mands for Mexican labor.
Koppa said two medical ex-
aiming stations now are being
operated by Michigan in Texas
TO prevent workers with tuber-
Culosis from migrating to this
state. Approximately 5000 have
been examined and approved to
date under a program begun
two weeks earlier than usual,
he said, reporting three and
four railroad cars Of workers
and their families are leaving
Texas each, week in addition to
those who travel by car.

Industry, Labor Keeping
Abreast of War Program
Agitation About War Production Proves
Fine Thing in Stimulating Effort

ing a letter TO the President
suggesting that such a plan be
initiated in order to quiet the
controversy which has risen in
the country and in Congress
over efforts to suspend the 40
hour Wage Law.
GEORGE COMMENTS
L don't think this is the time
for the enactment of VindictivG
labor legislation, George said
in an interview. The country
wants longer hours worked in
war in dustries and it will
achieve that purpose one way
or ano her. If a voluntary
agreement of this nature could
be reached the country would
be satisfied and Il Dor still
would retain its basic 40-hour
week after the war ends.
Estimating that overtime pay
in war industries has been
equal to a 10 per cent wage in
crease for employees, George
said the cost TO the government
seemed likely TO reach stag
gering sums. He cited recent
estimates tina. overtime pay
had boosted the Navy'S outlay
on contracts S4,OO0,OO0,O0O thus
far.
CALLED UNFAIR
On the other hand, he said
there were instances where it
obviously would be unfair to
take away the overtime pay
without adjusting upward the
wages of war workers - a
problem he predicted could be
worked out by a special board.
In any event, he said, overtime
should be paid for the seventh
consecutive work day in any
week.
Rebates TO the government of
the savings effected by employ
ers would be a necessary part
of such voluntary agreement,
George said, although he add
ed that provision could be
made in the tax laws TO effect
this, if Congress found it wise.
The Georgia senator said ne
thought most members who
took advantage of an informal
tWo-Wcek Easter vacation to go
home would come back with
the idea firmly fixed in their
minds that something had to
be done TO clear up public dis
satisfaction with the progress
Of the war production program.
Concurring in this view, Sen
ator Pepper (D-Fla) said he
was drafting series of amend
ments to suspend the 40-hour
week, to bar the collection Of
excessive union fees and to
make other changes in the la
Dor laws. He planned to offer
these after the recess ends on
April 20, he said, if Senator
Connally (D-TeX) succeeds then
in obtaining consideration on
April 20 of Connally's bill to
permit the government TO take
over strike-bound war plants.
