Merchant Seamen Lauded
For Staying On Job, Despite
Wearing Strain OF Duty

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) .-Mer-
chant seamen and officers are staying
on the job despite weather, enemy
action, and the constant strain of re-
peated sea duty, Marshall E. Dimock,
assistant deputy administrator of the
War Shipping Administration, re-
ports.
Based on figures compiled since
March Is, 1943, there has been loss
''on the beach by choice" of less than
6A percent of all officers and men
employed by American merchant
ships, the report shows During that
period more than 100000 merchant
seamen shipped from United States
ports and only $500 of these have
failed to re-ship after their initial or
consequent voyages. The majority of
those who did not go back to sea
after concluding voyage were pre-
vented from doing so because of rea-
sons of health.
In issuing this statement, Dimock
said:
"Few industries anywhere can
match the marvellous record of our
merchant seamen. 1t is one of which
the unions, the companies and the
War Shipping Administration can be
proud. When Americans consider the
risks these men take and the cOndi-
tions under which they sail they will
fully understand that such low rate
of attrition can only mean extreme
loyalty and courage beyond the line
of duty.
with each new invasion, with each
new ship off the ways, the number of
men in the merchant marine will have
to increase" Dimock continued "The
merchant marine has job that grows
in size every day.
"There are two ways to get the
increased personnel we need, train

said, that lower rates were still being
paid and that labor could still be OBJ
tanned for less than 40 cents an hour.
The principal reason employers are
fighting the Accent minimum, it was
indicated, is that they know when once
established the rate will "stand as a
bulwark for both employers and work
ers against competitive wage slash
ing in the period of readjustment
after the war when our soldiers come
home.' Widespread chiseling on wage
rates was declared to be due to the
inability of the administration to un-
dertake proper enforcement because
Congress had cut it's inspection staff
between fourth and fifth.

Walling Punctures High
Wages Myth; Millions Get
Only 40 Cents An Hour

All the hullabaloo about high wages
sounds pretty hollow alongside a
shocking report just issued by L. Met
calfe Walling, administrator of the
Wage and Hour Act.
Unbelievable as the figures seem,
about 12,500,000 workers are en-
ployed in industries for which mini
mum wage of 40 cents an hour was
established during the year, or for
which applications for wage hikes are
pending, Walling said
Even after the 12,50O,0OO workers
are given guaranteed Accent mini
mum, Walling asserted, there will still
be many workers in other fields being
paid less.
"Despite public impression that
wartime wages are high" Walling
emphasized, "the War Labor Board
has deemed it necessary to allow en-
ployers, without specific permission,
to raise rates to 40 cents an hour.
This was done because the board was
flooded with requests from employers
and employees who had previously not
been paying or receiving this much" !"
Walling recalled that employer
members on committees named to con-
slider wages in two large industries
voted almost solidly against establish
ing rates "as high as 40 cents an
hour" This would indicate, Walling

100 Prisons Make War Goods

Washington, D. C.-More than 160,-
900 prisoners in 100 state prisons are
producing war goods for the Army,
Navy and Maritime Commission, the
owl reports. To date, war contracts
totaling nearly $11,000,000 have been
awarded to prisons. Before the war,
prison industries were prohibited
from competing with free labor. On
July 8, however, Federal restrictions
on sale of convict-made goods to Fed
eral Agencies were suspended for the
duration by executive order.

Dangerous Business
(From the Railway CIerkl

The railroad brotherhoods reared
up on their hind legs and paved the
air recently and for good reason, too.
News had leaked out that the War
Department and the War Manpower
Commission were considering the pos
sibility of using soldiers of enemy ma
tlons as railroad maintenance of way
workers in this country.
While the subject was fresh on their
minds, the brotherhoods adopted a
resolution giving half dozen sizzling
reasons why prisoners of war had no
business working on railroad right
of way.

men for the entry ratings and recruit
experienced men now ashore for the
qualified ratings. Both of these are
necessary and both are being exten-
sively used. These men ship again and
again because they want to, not be-
cause there is any outside power
forcing them to-"

That ought to hold the War De-
partment and War Manpower Com
mission for while, anyway.

Washington, D. C. - Clauses in

variety that has been discarded
This soy bean is so near a dupli-
cate of the variety called Midwest
that crop specialists cannot tell
them apart. The Midwest was test
ed by the Delaware Agricultural
Experiment Station and discarded
Is years ago. because it gave low
yield and other undesirable char
acteristics.
Growers in the Corn Belt also
experienced trouble with this va
riety several years ago when it was
introduced there as a super soy
bean.
Reports indicate that the same
bean is back. and Phillips urges
farmers not to take chances. Buy
recognized varieties that have prov
ed their adaptability to Delaware
conditions. Such varieties as Man
chu. Scioto, Mandelal. Mingo. and
Illini have proven their superiority.
They have high oil bearing char
acteristics and insure promising
yields.
Farmers who desire additional
on soy bean varieties
for Delaware are advised to con-
tact their country agricultural
agent.

LIFE OF AMERICA

There will be many changes as
a result Of the war. But change il
itself is nothing to fear. Con
structive change has made this
country great. The fundamental
theory of our government encOur-
ages constant change, which in
turn has brought constant progress
Every man is urged to exploit mis-
talents to the benefit of society. fol
which grateful fellow man pay a
fair reward. Our manufacturing
and natural resource industries are
built on this principle OF service.
Currently they are turning out the
machines of war in mountainous
quantity. But in normal times they
are ever changing. ever seeking for
things that will give the rest of
us a fuller. more Wholesome life.
Not only does this hold true in the
development of new products. but
also in the field of human relations.
Men and women who work in in
Gustry. whether they WELD shovels
or pencils. work in an atmosphere
of change. of progress. 1t is mani
tested in a thousand and one small
ways. from better light and ventil-
alton in the factory to new devices
for settling differences between
and workers.
Arrangements change too. Men
who give their lives to building and
operating industries are constantly
being replaced Their jobs are be-
on by other men who
work just as hard.

Farm Mobilization
Program Is Planned
tCOntinued from FIRST PAGER

In addition to these agricultural
conservation farm plans,- farmers
will receive questionnaires in re-
CARDS to farm mobilization, and ii
is desired that these missionaries
be returned at once in order that
this information can be used as a
basis for assisting farmers with
their problems. Some of the ques-
tiOns included in this farm mobili-
zatiOn survey refer to the require
ments for farm labor, machinery
and equipment, financial needs and
housing facilities.
Under this agricultural mobiliza-
tion program all farms will be
classed in accordance with the
Standards as set up by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture on the
basis of war production units, and
it is very necessary that the County
USDA War Board has this infor-
nation for use in assisting in the
solution of these problems which
farmers will face during the COM
ing year The number of war pro-
duction units on each farm will be
used also for recommendation to
seiective service boards for the de-
ferment of boys and young men for
farm work where their services are
considered essential to the war eff
fort in the production of necessary
foods

WAVES ARE ROLLING

The Navy started out a short time
ago to enroll $4,000 Waves. and al

mad signed up OH programs to re-
place men in jobs. AT the time of
our first World war women mObil-
lied for sewing. knitting and light
work. Their main job. however,
was winning equality of the sex
es" and they got nationwide suf-
frage into the Constitution in 1919.
Women began widening the scope
of their activities and tens of thou
sands of them moved into clerical
employment and business. For
many years women have demon
strated their superiority in the use
of the hands for deft operations.
For a century women have been
telling men to "let me take that.
your hands and thumbs are too
clumsy" This bitter truth has
been admitted by the male of the
which seems to be proved
by a statement from Eastern Air
craft at Linden. n. j.. that IS per
cent of all welding trainees for
their division are women. Another
group of women in training, whose
ages also range from 81 to As years,
are being hired. put on payrolls and
sent to Rutgers University to study
mechanical drawing, metallurgy,
shop materials, mathematics. blue
print reading and other subjects.
The women are paid $130 a month.
and the first group of graduates
will take over actual jobs this
month.
Thousands of women are employ
ed at this moment in the manufac-
ture of the finest precision insiru-
ments in various war production
plants. especially those that were
set up by the automobile industry.
The reason is that this industry
has for more than 30 years develop

LEARNING FROM EXPERIENCE

|, Efforts are being made to bring
about the repeal OF the chain store
tax law in Texas. Like other class
legislation of its kind, it is not
designed for any purpose. other
than impairment of chain store
efficiency on the theory of limiting
competition. The voters of Utah
recently repealed a similar law.
And significantly. the independent
merchants of Utah formed no or
ganized opposition to it's repeal.
They had learned from experience
that punitive laws benefit no one in
the long run.
Special chain store tax laws are
punitive. They are a penalty tax
against single group. Wherever
they are in force. they represent
precedent that may at the whim of
a disgruntled minority be used as
a background for an attack on an
other group.
Spokesman in agriculture, indus
try. universities, and public life
have warned that this type of tax
alton is direct threat to free en-
terprise. And they did not mean
the free enterprise of "bigness"
alone. They meant all enterprise.

PAY NOW

Twenty-seven million American.
will soon be paying heavy income
taxes that as time goes on will
become even heavier. To all but
d mere fraction of this number, per-
sonal income taxes will be a new
experience In fact, according To
recent surveys. a good proportion
of these people do not yet realize
they have been included in the
taxable brackets. They are max
ing no preparations to pay taxes.
They are spending their money as
fast as they earn it. The threat to
government authority and solven-
cy by a mass of potential tax de-
linquents, is serious.
A practical solution is the
prompt adoption of a pay-as-you-
90 arrangement such as the Ruml
plan. Mr. Ruml, former dean of
social sciences at the University
of Chicago. and Chairman of the
Board of the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York, observes that: Moth
ing can be gained by arguing that
people ought to have saved the
tax on last years income out of
last years income. The fact is
that they did not do it and now
they cannot do it,"
Every taxpayer must realize that
we cannot survive war, and re-
turn to a system of individual free
dom unless the government re-
mains solvent. If it is to do that,
the people will have to pay taxes
and buy bonds on a devastating
scale. Tax laws must be cercilessly
far-reaching and e. cient.
