resigning members of the Owl staff
charged they were expected to paint
optimistic pictures rather than to
give stark facts, Mr.. Davis said he
did not doubt that they were honest
IN this opinion, but insisted they
were mistaken.
THE ISSUE" Mr.. Davis said. is
not OF fact against ballyhoo. The
presentation of facts is the duty of
this office. We do not engage in
domestic propaganda.
Gives Out Food Report.
Mr.. Davis gave out at his press
conference, for publication tomor-
row, the much discussed Owl re-
port on the food situation. This
report, he admitted, had been held
up since the first draft was written
in January.
There were differences between
Government agencies over what
were the facts he explained, add
ing that he referred to two Agri-
culture Department agencies he
would not name.
Asked whether Secretary Wickard
had objected to the original report,
Mr.. Davis said, he understood that
Mr. Wickard had objected to GER
tain figures.
Owl, Mr.. Davis said. had tried to
present an accurate summary and
had encountered difficulty in OBJ
tanning complete information. He
added that he recently had held up
the report so additional facts could
be inserted.
Failure to release the food re-
port was one of the reasons given
for the designations. Mr.. Davis
said the only official whom he did
not expect to remain with Owl was
Harold Guinzburg, head of the pub
hcat1ons bureau. Mr.. Davis said Mr..
Gulnzburg had been persuaded to
serve in the Owl but was anxious
to return to his work as president
of Viking Press.
Denies Propaganda Story.
Mr.. Davis started his press con-
ference by denying an assertion by
Washington columnist, John O'Don-
nell, In the New York Daily News,
that Owl was sending large num-
bers of propagandists to North At
rica who were safe from the draft"
Turning to Mr.. ODonnell, Mr.. Davis
said, You're all wrong, John"
Contrary to Mr.. ODonnell's story,
Mr.. Davis said, these people are
not Government press agents or
war correspondents" Mr.. Davis
said they were being sent to Africa
at the request of the Army to do
propaganda work among the native
populations and later, probably, in
enemy countries.
The owl agents, Mr.. Davis en-
phasized, are seeing "a good deal of
front-line service under orders of
the military commanders" Most
of them, he said, are under fire
most of the time.
Which you and I are not" Mr..
Davis added, turning to the COL
umnist. And I include myself"
Mr.. Davis explained that these
men were working under the
psychological warfare branch of
Allied Army headquarters in North
Africa and were classed as civilians
accompanying the Army" Mr..
Davis said the Army had asked for
800 to engage in this psychological
warfare. but that only about IS had

War May Force Firm
To End Long Policy
OF Emp|oye Control
Petition Seeks Division
Of Jointly Owned Stock
In Indianapolis Plant

INDIANAPOLIS, April IA
petition was on file in Superior Court
today asking for a change in the
method of operation of the Columbia
Conserve Co., under employe
by terms of plan started in 1917
and widely regarded as an expe-
riment in industrial democracy"
The petition was filed yesterday
for redistribution of the SO per cent
of common stock owned collectively
by the companys salaried employees.
Granting of the petition, filed in
behalf of trustees acting for the
employees, would end the profit
sharing experiment started 26 years
ago.
In 1890, the salaried employees
gained control of 81 per cent of the
common stock of the company, which
at that time had gross income of
$1,500,000 annually. The company
processes jellies, pickles and relishes
and employees $50 persons.
Ask Stock Distribution.
The petition asked that the COL
lective holding be ended and the
1878 shares of stock be distributed
among individual employee holders.
The petitions said that wartime
strlngencies on the canning indus
try may force the release of several
salaried employees, who would for
felt their interest in the stock as
under present collective control
Under principles of operation laid
down in 1917 by the three Hapgood
brothers, William, Hutchins and
Norman-heirs to the plant-all the
workers stock was to be held by the
employees as group and no employe
was to hold stock as an individual
nor could he leave it to his heirs.
The brothers signed a contract with
their employees providing for work
ers to purchase the business by re-
tirement of common stock from
profits.
Passed Probationary Period.
Although the petition referred to
the expected dismissal of salaried
workers, the company's principles do
not embrace such discharge unless
by majority vote of council of
workers. Although every new en-
ploye began as a wage Garner, he was
eligible for salary rating after
probationary period.
Last fall workers went out on
strike-apparently against them
selves-and, after returning to work,
filed a suit for an accounting of |
the firms business. 1t was in con- |
nection with the accounting suit that |
a petition for redistribution of stock |
was filed.

may be brought down slightly by
this formula, one official suggested
Generally, however, indications
were that the freight cut would be
used by OPA to prevent further
price rises by offsetting of increased
labor or materials costs. An ex-
ample was said to be dairy products,
on which pressure has been building
up for higher prices because of
various factors. Perhaps, one off,
cial said, the benefit of the freight
cut can be passed on to dairy
farmers and at least partly satisfy
their price needs.

And Tell of Toxic Raid
BY the Associated Press.

The full story of the Ameri-

Director Elmer Davis of the
Office of War Information told
reporters today that unpub-

He added. however, he did not
know whether the release would
be timed for the first anniver-

CHARLES E. CARLSON, efficient
president of the D. NJ & I. R. sys-
TEN, was reelected at the annual
meeting of the road held in Duluth
last Wednesday. Other officers elect
ed were p. H. Van Hoven, vice pres
ident; A. E. Arneson, secretary and
treasurer, and D. M. Stalker, auditor.
Last year the railroad delivered a
total of 42,780.637 gross tons of iron
ore to the loading docks at TWO Har-
bors and Duluth, also 2,007,56 tons
of all rail ore. l,479,971 tons of the
all rail shipment went to Superior
and 496,647 to the furnace docks in
Duluth, says Skillings Mining Re-
view.
Up to the close of 1912, the road had
forwarded grand total of 878,972, ,837
gross tons of iron ore, serving the Me-
sabi ranges in part and the Vermilion
range wholly. OF this great tonnage
861 1868, 1892 tons were delivered to the
docks and the all-rail total amounted
to 17,1O8,945 tons. The time is draw
ing near when the road will have
shipped it's first billion tons of iron
ore.
The Duluth & Iron Range was the
beginning of the fabulous figures CIV
en- 1t was built to serve the mines OF
the Vermilion range and the first ore
was shipped in 1884. The Duluth, Mis-
| sabe & Northern was built to serve the
Mesabi range mines and the first
| shipment was made in 1892. Some
years ago the two roads were merged
and the present name adopted to rec.
ognize both lines. The Iron Range Di'

NAZI WORKERS LIFE
DULL GRIND.

"The life of German laborer is a
dull and unceasing grind. The streets
are full of foreign workers who drift
ainlessly about. A large proportion OF
them are French women without their
husbands, promised good working con-
ditions but given just the opposite"
This is the comment of Portugese
citizen Just returned to his home
country after six months in Berlin.
His remarks were picked up by the
office Of war information from Por-
tugese newspaper.
"The shortage of food is felt immed-
lately" he goes on. MANY Of the for
eigners sell their food cards for cash
and then live on raw vegetables which
are unrationed. Older German labor
ers are extremely disillusioned about
the outcome of the war. Younger
Germans are ruthless and determined,
fanatically pro-Nad and sure Of them
selves. Everyone is spied on by the
Gestapo and the Gestapo spies on the
Gestapo."
