MORE WORKERS NEEDED
FACING
LABOR SHORTAGE

Washington, D. G. (ILNS) ).-Unless
an extraordinary effective job is done
this year in enlisting new workers in
the food and processing industry and
in maintaining the nucleus Of expert
enced workers accustomed to working
in local canneries, some crops will go
to waste and the supply of canned and
processed foods will become tighter,
the Office of War information warns.
Local labor unions are asked to give
active aid in the campaign to recruit
cannery workers.
Canning, though major industry,
is essentially seasonal, hometown
industry, manned by local workers,
youths, housewives, mechanics, and
others, who are otherwise occupied
during the rest of the year.
Wherever there is a cannery, local
people have been accustomed to help
ing out the family income by seasonal
work in the neighborhood plant. Last
year, however, great many of these
townsfolk were missing from the can
neries due to military service. The la
Dor gap was filled by volunteers, but
in some localities tons of good food
rotted in the fields because there were
too few workers to care for the crop.
This year volunteers = housewives,
lawyers, teachers, clerks and students
will be needed in even greater num-
bers, Owl says.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Wage
classifcations based solely on differ
ences in race are without validity, the
National War Labor Board has ruled
unanimously, in ordering abolition OF
pay differentials between white and
Negro workers performing equal
work at the plant of the Southport
Petroleum Co., Texas City, Texas.
The opinion was written by DR..
Frank P. Graham, public member of
the board, Southerner, and president
of the University of North Carolina.
Economic and political dis
elimination on account of race or
creed is in line with the Nazi
program" the board declared.
High tribute was paid in the opin-
ion to the patriotism and loyalty of
the American Negro, the board adding
that the Negro is the test of our sin
cerity in the cause for which we are
fighting.
Pay Increases Ordered
The board directed the petroleum
company to give pay increases to col
ored employees which will "place them
on basis of economic parity with the
white workers in the same classifica-
tion." The board added that "to the
credit of the company, this decision"
was accepted by the management in
good faith and spirit.

Musicians Ask Curb
On Bootleg Disks

New York City (ILNS).-James C.
Petrillo, president of the American
Federation of Musicians, has asked
the publishers of popular music not
to license their tunes to a concern that
has successfully circumvented the
unions ban on recordings through
sale of "bootleg" disks.
Members of the Music Publishers
Protective Association met in emerg-
ency session to consider the request,
but Walter Douglas, who was identi-
fed as their spokesman, refused to
comment. The publishers were said to
fear that to meet Petrillo's request
might involve them in a suit for re-
straint of trade.

GUARDS MISTAKEN
FOR POLICEMEN

Middletown, Ohio.-The complaint
made at the City Commission meeting
last week that the similarity of the
uniforms worn by war plant guards
and city police had resulted in police
men being criticized unjustly for cer-
tain acts of misconduct by some of the
guards, resulted in a warning to
guards at the Army Signal Corps de-
pot that drinking in uniform would
bring three-day suspension without
pay.
S. P. Marsh, superintendent of
guards, said the ban against drinking
in uniform had been adopted as mat
ter of policy and would be enforced
strictly.

WNU Service)

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Fol-
lowing up the slashing radio attack
made by George Meany, American
Federation of Labor secretary-treas-
urer, on the governments failure to
effectively control the cost of living,
the AFL and CIO urged President
Roosevelt to intervene with the Office
of Price Administration in behalf of
action to cut food prices.
Calling at the White House with the
other members of the War Labor
Board, William Green and Philip Muir
ray asked immediate action and
pressed the President to give his full
support for a $2,00o,000,O0O grant for
subsidies to hold down costs of food
The labor spokesmen did not ask
removal of Administrator Prentiss
Brown of the OPA but said they did
not believe Brown was meeting the re-
quirements of the situation.
Sterilization Urged
Members of the War Labor Board
called for "less talk and more action"
in their conference with the President
and Green and Murray advocated sta
bilization of food prices at the May,
1912, level. They left statement with
the President, that the $2,000,000,000
grant would be about four times the
amount that Great Britain is spending
for food subsidies. Murray said he
feels that this country can afford an
expenditure of that size in view of the
fact that $98,000,000,00 expendi-
ture for war purposes is contemplated
this year.
Green presented a statement to
the President which showed that
food prices have risen 25 to $50
percent since January, 1941.
Labor Representation
Murray said they had suggested to
the President that there should be a
meeting with James F. Byrnes, head
of the newly formed Office of War
Mobilization, both to discuss it's func-
tions and to obtain labor representa-
tion in the new setup.
Garment Workers Act
Labor in other cities joined in the
growing movement for action to
force lower prices, messages voicing
the demand being received from vari-
Gus places at AFL headquarters in
Washington.
Meeting at Forest Park, Pa, the
executive board of the international
Ladies' Garment Workers Union de-
clared that Congress faces "duty
and compelling obligation" to roll
back prices to the levels of year ago
by subsidies to wholesalers and proc
essors if necessary.
A resolution adopted by the board
pointed out that England and Canada
have succeeded in holding commodity
prices in check by means of govern
ment subsidies and have thereby aided
in exterminating black markets.

atives of several groups now studying

against the employed mothers. The
fee would be based on actual expendi-
lures of the nursery and would be

Wage Differentials Between White
And Colored Workers Abolished
By War Labor Board Ruling
Negro Workers Benefit; Now One Classification AS Just
Laborers; Made Without Regard To Little Steel
Formula; Equal Pay for Quantity and Quality
In part, the boards opinion said:

In part, the boards opinion said:
"In this small but significant case
the National War Labor Board abol-
ishes the classifcations 'colored la
borer' and white laborer' and reclassi-
fies both simply as 1aborers' with the
same rates of pay for all that classi-
fication without discrimination on ac-
count of color. :.
"This wage increase is made with
out regard to the Little Steel for
mula, but with regard simply for the
democratic formula of equal pay for
work equal in quantity and quality in
the same classification.
Sound Principle Upheld
"This equalization Of economic op-
portunity is not violation of the
sound American provision of differen-
tials in pay for differences in skills.
1t is rather bit of realization of the
no less sound American principle of
equal pay for equal work as one of
the equal rights in the promise of
American democracy, regardless of
color, race, sex, religion or national
origin"
The company was directed to insti-
tute reclassifcation system and to
grant in each classification wage in
crease of either percent or cents,
whichever is higher.

There is saying that a Siamese
cat lis born white but turns black if
it lives long enough"
The saying is only partly true.
Siamese cats are born white and
tend to become darker as they grow
older. but they do not turn black
The white Siamese kitten has a
cry which differs from the ordinary
meow" This odd cry is something
like cree" and when Siamese kit

Siamese cats of pure breed have.
blue eyes. Often they have cream
colored hair over most of the body,
along with dark broWnish color about
the face, ears, tail and lower legs.
The country formerly known as
Siam. but now called Thailand, is
looked upon as the first home of
Siamese cats Some of these cats
were transported to Europe and were
bred for sale and for display at
shows" A Siamese prince visited
England several years ago and after
being there for a while he said. Il

have seen more Siamese cats in
London than l ever saw in SIAM
Tests seem to have proved that
temperature helps to change the
coloring of Siamese cats. They tend
to become darker in cold climates
than in regions where the weather
is warm the year around.
One strain of Siamese cats has
eyes which are yellow instead OF
blue. Adults of this strain are en-
tirely of chocolate brown color.
The most common eve color OF
cats is green, but many kinds have
eyes with other colors. Most breeds
of Persian cats have orange as the
"standard" color of the eyes. One
kind of Persian cat not only has
orange eyes but also orange -colored
furs.
Many white Persian cats are an
exception to the rule, having blue
instead of orange eyes. Blue-eyed
cats of any breed are likely to be
deaf if their coats are entirely white.
The so-called "chinchilla cat" has
blue-green eyes as a standard, and
its fur is silvery gray, very close to
white. Often it is called the silver
cat"
Several kinds of cats are known as
'tabbies" We have the blue tabbv,
the brown tabbv. the striped tabbv
and the silver tabby Sometimes the
name "tabby' is used as a general
name for house cats.
The striped tabby also is called

Aimless though the bidding sounds,
it was really entirely reasonable
When North raised to two spades
South had too much to pass, but |
not quite enough to jump to four
in case Norths was a mere courtesy
raise. Since it was not, North car
ried on to game.
West opened his singleton queen
of hearts and South won with the
ace. He led the spade queen. West
took the ace and wondered whether
his partner had the ace of clubs or
the ace of diamonds. Not knowing
which, he chose the safer of the
two leads-the diamond queen. OF
course South won and drew trumps,
discarded a club on dummy's fourth
heart and wound up making four
odd.
Yet the contract could easily have
been defeated West apologized for
not having led a club which would
have put East in for heart lead.
Vests ruff and the club king would
then have defeated the contract.
But East politely and sincerely
agreed his partner couldn't have
led from the club king without
knowing East had the ace.
That. although neither defender
realized it, was just the point. West
needed only one ruff to defeat the
contract. He should therefore have
passed the first trump lead in order
to let East tell him what suit to
lead by his discard on the next
trump play. East, of course, would
have conveyed the necessary infor-
nation by playing either high
club or low diamond.
