SOMEWHERE IN ITALY.-Like
ghosts arisen out Of wooded noun
tains and italian peasant villages,
men given up for dead for weeks
and months are rejoining their out
fits one after another as the Allied
lines move northward.
They are American flyers who
have crashed over enemy territory
and hidden out, often with only
their cotton summer uniforms, be-
hind enemy lines. In some cases
they have been Hospitality received
and concealed by Italian farmers
who have taken the risk of 1mme-
diate execution both by their own
army and the Germans.
The word Americana" they re-
port, often has had an almost magic
effect on these peasants, many of
whom have close relatives In the
United States. In other cases, how
ever, they have had to depend EN-
tirely on their own resources, hid
ing out in caves in the rocks and liv-
ing by night raids on fields and
orchards. Until quite recently they
could live on grapes, oranges and
almonds and even with the coming
of cold weather there have been
chestnuts and a few late vegetables.
Most in Fair Shape.
On the whole the men who come
back seem in fair shape after the Or
deal. Some had been seen to crash
and little hope entertained for their
survival The numbers now showing
up leads to the belief that losses Of
air personnel may have been con-
siderably less than has been esti-
mated. No crashed flyer can be
given up for dead unless mis- actual
remains are found. To one air wing
here in the past few days 10 men
have come back. For most Of them
hope had been abandoned.
Few details of the escapes can yet
be given. Some Of the stories are
thrillers, but, especially when the
country through which the men
moved remains in enemy hands,
they might give hints from which
some of those who helped the refu-
gees could be identified.
All the men report, that their first
act when making a crash landing
was to set fire to what remained of
their planes and to smash the In,
struments, to prevent knowledge of
any secret devices falling into Ger
man hands.

on fire to prevent 1t falling into
enemy hands and hid in nearby
bushes for the next nine hours. He
watched an occasional peasant ex-
amining the burning plane. As dark
came on he set of across country
and dawn found him well up In the
mountains. He passed an occasional
shepherd. All waved friendly greet
ings and made no attempt to stop
him.
But he was getting hungry and at
last got up courage to approach an

Higher Wages

State Labor Depdrtm ent
Makes Recommendations
In Six Lines

New York-Higher wages for 13O,-
600 women and minors employed in
the restaurant, hotel, laundry, cleaning
and dyeing, confectionery and beauty
service industries in New York State
were recommended by the State Labor
Department as necessary to meet the
rising cost of living.
The departments Division of Women
also urged new minimum wage order
to protect 10000 women and minor
workers in the retail trades. Some
other States already had taken both
of these steps since the United States
entered the war, it was pointed out.
Orders restricting home work should
be extended this year beyond the arti-
fetal flower, mems and boys clothing,
neckwear and glove industries, it was
held.
Last year 1865 women and minors
in the State were found to be getting
less than the legal minimum in the
six industries for which pay floors"
have been established. Sub-standard
wages still are being paid to women
workers, the report added, although
the minimum for mattresses is only 20
cents an hour, for laundry workers 35
cents an hour, and for resort hotel
workers 81 day.
In the six industries covered by
wage orders, more than $174OO0 was
collected by the Labor department in
1912 from 5000 employers for the
benefit of the 1868 women and minor
workers. More than 113,OOO enforce
ment inspections were made during the
year.

Of MilitdrY Power

Miami-William Green, president of
the American Federation of Labor, re-
ceived a letter from Robert p. Patter-
son, Under-Secretary of War, thank
ing the federation for it's cooperation
in war construction and war manufac-
turing activities The letter said:
IL hope you will present my greet
ings to the members of the executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor, and my best wishes for sue
cessful meeting.
Through you, the Army cOngratu-
lates the millions of members of the
federation on the important cOntribu-
tion they are making to the cause of
a United Nations victory.
"The plans, weapons, radio equip
ment and other manufactured products
American Federation of Labor workers
are building are performing splendidly
in battle. The machine tools and parts
which you produce for the factory
front are no less invaluable.
'"rhe Army is especially grateful to
those members of the federation who
helped us to rush to completion the
barracks, hangars, arsenals and fac
tories without which we could not have
trained our troops and made our NUM-
tions. In like manner, your members
who are engaged in transportation and
warehousing have helped us to speed
supplies to the fronts and to our
Allies.
'No history of the present conflict
could be written without adequate
mention of labor's Importance in top
ping the scales of military power.
According to dispatch from
Guadalcanal, enemy bombing on our
positions always ceases after the ar
rival of your P-3S Lightning planes.

be proud of the splendid record being

ished us, we have come Il long way on

TAXES, PRICES BIGGEST HOME
FRONT PROBLEM,

Unless present trends are checked
food costs will rise another 1870 in
1943, predicts Bread & Butter" week
ly publication of Consumers Union.
That's ON top of 1870 food price
increase since the war, plus many
hidden increases due to scarcities,
price ceiling violations and quality de-
terioration, reports the consumer
weekly.
Even though total food supplies are
adequate, says Consumers Union, low
income families will not have the
money with which to meet the rising
prices. And these food costs will con-
tinue rising until we get rationing and
effective price control.
Another vital problem is the new
tax bill. Low income families are al
ready carrying an unequal share of the
tax load, Consumers Union declares.
Taxes on everyone will have to go up
during 1913. But the people must force
corporations, which have increased
their profits 500 since 1889.
price imitation on the one hand and
excessive tax burden on the other can
drive low-income families to a stand
ard of living that would not permit
them to make their maximum cOntri-
button to the war effort" points out
Consumers Union. Such situation
would undermine the home front and
endanger our fighting men on the war
fronts
"U. S. consumers have their work
cut out for them in 1943." Here's the
plan of action suggested in Bread

Dendnd Equal PdY
For Women In Jobs
Republican Group Asks
Support For Policy OF
Identical Rates

Chicago. - Public support Of the
policy of equal pay for women or
identical rate for the Job" was urged
by the Advisory Board of the National
Federation of WomcnS Republican
Clubs rs it closed II two-day session
here.
While recognizing tina some EN-
ploycrS, labor unions and government
agencies had endorsed the policies and
pay principles, the board declared that
there was "Stil Il gap" in the general
adoption of adequate wage scales for
women.
Summarizing the action of the group,
Mrs. Louis Lcech Of st. Paul, treasurer
of the federation, said:
While the equal pay for women
policy has always been II meritoriouS
one, ii is even more pressing today. In
addition to the great influx of women
workers in all employment there will
be at least 100000 women in war
production this year.
Their aptitude for war occupations
already has made its mark in produc-
tion totals, and there should be no
questioning of the equalization of
Womcn'S wages with men for the com
parable quality and quantity of work.
Some progress has been made in this
effort for equal wage rates, notably in
recommendation of the War Labor
Board, in union agreements and III
employers action.

ciprocal trade agreements.
The reciprocal trade pact law OK
pireS this year, but the trade agree
mcntS 90 on indefinitely, Mr.. Thomp-
son pointed out, adding that these trade
agreements, unlike other treaties with
foreign nations, are not brought before
the senate for ratification, us provided
in the Constitution for all treaties.
Mr.. Thompson also gave these
figures:
SINTY-FINE per cent of all goods
imported into The United States come
in duty free
TIE REMAINING 30 per cent pay
custom duties That average 3S per cent
of their foreign value.
If THIS DUTY should he calculated
on the United States wholesale selling
price, the average would be 10 pei
cent duty on all dutiablc imports.
CUSTOM DUTIES on earthenware
and china are much higher than the
average.
IN SPITE of comparatively high
rates, the imports of all earthenwart
and chinawarc articles equals about
40 per cent of the domestic production
of comparable articles.
Mexico In New Agreement
"The most recent agreement" Mr.
Thompson related, ''iS with Mexico
This provides that importations OF

''To Us, this meant that if the MeXi

He warned that organized labor
cannot ignore completely the false
propaganda" which is being circulated
against it. He suggested that unions
in general have Il record of service TO
their membership and to the country
which iustitieS their doing some boast

he counted upon to support sound ana
legitimate labor objectiveS when the
facts are made clear to it.
II would suggest that in recent
years organized labor's energies have
been disSipated too much by conflicts
within the house of labor" Dean
Morse declared. "ConhictS within the
ranks of labor have resulted too fire.
quently in doing injury to the eco
nomc interests of innocent, nonpar-
ticipating groups. Critics of labor have
capitalized upon these rows within the
family of labor and upon some of the
abuses which have developed out of
the struggle for privilege and power
in the labor movement"
If labor is to retain public support
he said, it must do Il better house
keeping and housecleaning job and it
must be willing to live in glass
house.
Union Program Suggested
TO meet attacks, Morse urged that
labor adopt Il program calling for az
countabilty for funds, responsibility
for the acts of its members and de-
pendability of its leaders i'm perpetual
ing the democratic ideals of trade
unoniSm.
Asserting that collective bargaining
represents the only true democratic
process Dean Morse also stressed that
any unfair advantage gained either by
labor or industry must inevitably re-
act To the disadvantage of both. The
survival and success of both, he said,
must depend upon the success and
prosperity of the Nation itself.
