BALTIMORE POLITICS


The forthcoming mayorality bat

ing and not-easily-detected eddys.
1t is not merely a race between
Mayor Howard Jackson, William R.
McClayton, his Democratic rival,
and Teddy Roosevelt McKeldin, his
Republican rival. Actually, it will
be a contest to determine what fac
tons now control, and shall control.
the important metropolitan vote in
1914.
And it will have a very important
effect upon the senatorial race of
1914. With the solid support of
Baltimore City, Tydings can win,
without it he can lose. And, ac-
cording to the pulse-takers. the
man who is out-and now on in
to unfrOck Tydings from his sena-
tOrial tOga is Governor Herbert r.
O'ConOr.
If this be so, it explains a lot Of
things which have had the State
puzzled. These puzzles may be re-
solved shortly. Should for in

quotas and releases at once for
food or market any wheat which
has been stored. Wheat farmers
who meet 80 per cent of their farm
war crop goals in 1943 will be eli
gible for AAA wheat payments and
wheat loans even though they ex-
ceed their wheat allotmentS. About
$4,000 victory farm volunteers
will be recruited from nOn-farm
youth for farm work during the
spring and summer months. Troop
units from nearby military installa-
tions will be used for emergency
labor to harvest the long staple
cotton crop in the area near Phoe-
Xix. Arizona.
Rice, Bicycles
Rice is not ratiOned. the OPA
has reassured consumers. Another
announcement by OPA stated that
prices for used bicycles will be
substantially reduced in the near
future.
More Rubber for Recapping
Owners of tires smaller than 7.50
by 20 will soon be able to get their
castings recapped with reclaimed
rubber "camelback" without apply
ing to their rationing boards for
certificates. This does not relax
the need for continued observance
Of rubber conservation measure.
The change was made to reduce
the demand for replacement tires
by encouraging recapping, which
takes less than half as much re-
claimed rubber as new war tire.

Consumers will find women's
and children's dresses, suits, coats,

change in fruits and juices.
Gas to Drive to Work
Car owners who drive to work
and do not get enough mileage from
their B ration book may now get
additional allowance-if they show
they cannot get to their jobs any
other way.
Applications must be made to To-
cal ratiOning boards and must full
fill the following conditions in ad-
dition to needing more gas;
l. That driving is between home
and fixed place of work, in con-
nection with their principal occu-
patton.
2. That either a ride-sharing az
rangement has been made or that
the vehicle carries full load, and
3 That alternative transporta-
tion is inadequate.
Sugar Stamps
Sugar ration stamp number II,
which becomes valid March 16, is
worth five pounds, but it must last
through the end of May, period
of II weeks. Stamp IL, good for
three pounds, is valid from Febru-
ary l to March Is.
Dehydrated Vegetable Increase
A sharp increase in dehydrated
vegetable production in the U. S.
may be expected by July l, this

certain transport regulations, tin
is available for packing oysters,
the draft boards are beginning to
show a reasonable amount Of con-
sideration for manpower. and be-
cause of meat rationing, people
are eating more fish.
But the big smile comes from the
fact that it is we'll night impossible
for the OPA to hamstring this one
industry of rugged individualists
with production quotas, rationing
and the like.
Principal difficulty in setting up
a ration program for fresh fish is
that the fishing industry is entire
ly too unpredictable. Just about
the time OPA would work out an
intricate production graph, the
darn fish just wouldn't bite. as one
old timer put it. In addition prices
have to remain on a flexible basis
because prices depend on the
catch and the catch to a large de-
gree depends on plain fisherman's S
luck"
But, of course, on the frozen
product the OPA does clamp down
on prices. In fact, this is the other
and gloomier side Of the picture.

been put so low that the time may
not be distant when this side of

Because certain kinds of coal

HANGOVE;RS
By
LITTLE HEISKELL

This and That: Weary of be
ing reminded of the bad condi-
tion Of the streets in Hagerstown,
the street department finally
snapped out of its slumbers and
went to work: as a result the
taxpayers and citizens are now
hoping that perhaps the b'hoys
will get down to the business of
continuing to dish out a little ac-
ton. - During recent night
alarm, volunteer fireman DASH
ed out of bed, dressed quickly
and was on his way to the scene
of the fire, in nothing flat; when
he arrived, however, he discover
ed that he had left his false teeth
at home, so he dashed back to his
house, pronto! - Pm told that
"absenteeism" among female war
workers is higher than that Of
the men. - Comparatively few
workers in Washington County
are drawing unemployment COM
pensation; in fact the number is
so small that it isn't worth men,
tioning; reason for this is the
large number of jobs awaiting
workers, and if they don't accept
these jobs when offered by the
Employment Service, off the COM
pensation list they go. - This is
Red Cross week and it shouldn't
be necessary for any Red Cross
solicitor to "seIl" anyone the
idea of contributing; it's the
worlds greatest organization and
we'll 90 on record as saying that
the guy who even hesitates to
support the drive should be
ashamed to call himself an Amer
lean. - Predictions: The 48-hour
week will soon cover the Eastern
Seaboard like a blanket; the en-
pIoyment of skilled workers in
war plans here will soon be the
exclusive job of the United States
Employment Service, and that
before 1943 is history, the labor
shortage in Washington County
will be Headache No. l. - Incl
dentaIly, the employment Of
farm labor in war plants in the
HagerstoWn Area is definitely
out, and will probably remain so
for the duration, except in the
winter months when they are not
needed on the farms, and that
goes also for the surrounding
States. - This year may also see
local industries employing large
numbers of part-time workers;
in other words, man or woman
holding daytime job, and who
possesses some skill, may put in
several hours each night in an
other important plant.

VINO AGREEMENT
BEING RECEIVED
FAVORABLY HERE
Industries Signing Up to
Eliminate Labor Piracy
In HagerstoWn Area

The program to enlist manage
ment and labor in a unified front
to combat absenteeism and labor
plrating is progressing satisfactory.
according to reports of the local
War ManpOwer Commission. AS
a matter Of fact, both labor and
management has welcomed the set
up, and see in it a good foundation
upon which to build a greater war
effort
1t is estimated that approximate
ly fifty industries and labor unions
will sign the agreement, which last
week was approved by both local
management and labor, and by the
War ManpOWer Commission in
Washington.
Within the past year labor pirat-
ing and absenteeism have become
serious in this area, SO serious in
fact that the Government suggest
ed that a local group be organized
and represent the War Manpower
Commission. Now that the unit is
here for the duration, problems
confronting industry and labor
will be cleared through the Wash
ington County organization for
action, rather than being handled
by the national group in Washing
ton
Judging from the success of
similar committees in the princi-
pal industrial areas throughout the
Nation, the Washington County
area should prove a tremendous
help to labor and industry here.
This is particularly true in the
matter Of labor piracy. Since the
beginning of the war many indus
tries have sent labor scouts into
territories already suffering from
an acute labor shortage, with the
result that plants engaged in the
manufacture of war material have
experienced considerable difficulty
in meeting their schedules. Labor
taken from one area to another
likewise has created transporta-
ton and housing problems. Under
the present plan workers are re-
Quired to submit a release to
new essential employer if he de-
sires to change his job. Industries
who attempt, or persist, in labor
pirating will be reported as not
cooperating with the war program.
The number of signatures al
ready obtained indicates that Ha-
gerstown will within the next few
weeks be almost entirely covered
by the program.
