Welcome Back
Sign Hung Out
For Black Badge
BY LEWIS II, WALTER

The prodigal sons Of Detroit
racing. the coils like Abraham
Hirschberg's Black Badge and
Charles T. F'ischer's Amber Light,
which leave the Fair Grounds to
try their speed and racing luck
in such races as the rich Airing
ton Fututrity and the Arlington
Classic at Chicago, are among the
most fortunate horses in the
country.
They can 90 to Chicago, New
York, any place in the United
States 10 race. II they lose they
can still come right back 10 run
for more rich purses a .. Detroit.
But crack colts or handicap
horses from Chicago or New York
can't ship into Detroit 10 sweep
in the richest purseS--and ship
out the next day. The Detroit
race track management won't let
them any more.
Following a policy adopted sew
eral years ago the Detroit man
agement doesn't run any huge
stakes but sprinkles its program
literally with handicaps running
up 10 $4,000 Only the stables
which have shipped in and intend
10 stay here for the meeting are
allowed to enter horses. Detroit
wants none of those biz races
which attract topnotchers from
all over the country--only 10 ship
out the Sunday after the race and
leave the owners who are sup
porting the weekday racing TO
pick up the GlcaninGs. the smaller

Even Business Magazine
Doesn't Like Connolly Law

New York, Sept. 18-A conserva-
tive business magazine this week
took down its hair and admitted
that the Smith-Connally anti-strike
law has proved to be just as bad
as the CLIO said it would be before
the law was passed.
The magazine, USINES S
WEEK, also took sideswipe at
suggestions that the law be kept
on the books in amended form.

on the mere language Of the law
that attention which business

behind It."
The magazine admitted that
many of labor's criticisms Of the
law before its passage had been
borne out in practice. The law
has fomented strikes, has encour-
aged wildcat stoppages. and has
been responsible for a resurgence
Of political activity in the AFL and

U. 8. Department Of Labor and
the Department OF Agriculture,
("Study Of Family Spending and
Saving In Wartime"O, the over
whelming majority of families OF
men from IS to 81 (the draft age
limits) are wholly dependent on
the mans earnings for support.
BY count, 20 per cent Of such
families have less than $500 n
year from any other source.
This means that our servicemen's
families have $72 a month to live
on, plus the extra average OF $500
year that a little more than two
thirds are lucky enough to COM
mand.
And this applies to 100000
families Of direct dependents,
plus 100000 families of "cOl-
lateral or Glass b dependents"

diers' children 60 TO work, get war

that we hear about In war fac
tories, aircraft plants, etc?

Yet under present government al
lowances, the wife of a man in the
armed forces with two children
gets $72 a month to live and keep
her children on.
And under the bin backed by
the War Department and passed
by the Senate July Q, 194S g
1279), the soldier or sailors wife
with two children will get $40 o
Month-an increase Of only 81.
This n $40 under the WPA
figure; $40 under the Heller
Committee budget.
Even this proposed increase OF
~ q month In more apparent than
real. when you take into account
the official increase In the cost OF
living between June, 1912 and June.
1913. Look at the breakdown:
According TO the u. 9. Depart
ment Of Labor, the cost Of living
went up 7.2 per cent In that
period. This means that the real
value of the increase under the
proposed bill Is 1871 for SOL
dier's wife with two children, 10
only $l.S2 q month. The rise In
the cost Of living eats up the rest.
When the present law providing
$72 a month was passed, the Senate
Military Affairs Committee said In
reporting favorably on the bill:
'-The purpose Of this legislation, Is
TO provide for the payment to the
dependents Of the four lower
grades of enlisted men sums
which will enable them to at least
partially defray their living ex-
penses."
Partially" means that the Com
mittee, headed by Sen. Robert X.
Reynolds Of North Carolina, trusted
that soldiers wives would have
some outside sources Of income
beyond their allowances. What are
the facts about outside sources OIL
income among soldiers wives?

Connally bill was up for consider
alton labor organizations warned
that the bill was ill-advised and was
actully calculated to interfere with
the progress of American war pro-
duction.
1--WE pointed out that at time
when the responsible bodies of
organized labor had given and
were fulfilling, as they are today,
their no-strike pledge, the bill
proposed to set up legalized ma
chlnery whereby irresponsible ele-
ments might force strike votes
and thereby give the appearance
Of legal sanction to interference
with war production"
Murray said that the few months
that the law has been in operation
have proved labor's fears well
founded.
NO-STRIKE PLEDGE
"The responsible bodies Of or
ganized labor have reiterated their
determination to stand firm on
their no-strike pledge" he said.
"The new statute, however. has in
practice rendered performance of
that pledge even more difficult.
"In the light Of the experience
OF these last few months very
serious duty falls on the shoulders
Of Congressional leaders. The sit
uation does not permit arguments
as to wherther error Is to he adj

to he placed. This nation Is at

alterations to stand In the way

Official Figures

Here again the figures dug Zip by
the national CLIO put some light
into q dark corner of the home
front. According to these figures
taken from official u. S. sources:
In October, 1872. two-thirds Of
the children Of servicemen were
estimated to be under six years
old; one quarter under one year
old. Many millions Of women are
now prevented from taking war
Jobs because they cannot leave
their young children, due to the
universal lack Of child care IA
cilities.
In fact, aircraft and other war
production has been suffering be-
cause of the inability of mothers OF
young children to find care for
them. Scores Of companies have
called attention to this factor in
the labor-power shortage. There Is
no reason to believe that service
mems wives who are mothers OF
young children are getting any
priorities on child care to enable
them to go to work in war fac
tories.
For minimum standards to en-
sure tolerable living conditions for
the families of our men now taking
the offensive against the Hitler
Axis, the CLIO proposes:
$50 o month for wife with no
children; SIS for the first child,
totalling $50 a month for q wife
with one child; $50 for each ad-
ditional child, or $40 . month
for q wife with two children.

II trust and hope that the lead
ership Of this Congress will prove
its stature by undertaking the task
Of removing the Smith-Connally Act
from the statute books, so that or
ganized labor in America may move
forward unimpeded in its consistent
and devoted drive to ever-increased
production"

have the same worries about
their families on their minds.
Here are the cold figures pre-
pared by a subcommittee Of the
National CLIO Legislative Depart
ment that is now pressing for a
rise in dependency allowances to
at least tolerable levels:
In San Francisco last year
December, 1922 a minimum Of
$1OS a month was listed by WPA
as necessary for subsistence OF a
wife and two children. According
to the Heller Committee of the
University Of California, which
prepared a scientific study Of how
little people can live on, the alb
sOlute minimum was 500 month.

FREEDOM FROM FEAR

There are a few Biblical word!
from David which come as a source
Of help to those who need solace
"I will fear no evil" is a strong
statement and needs clinging tt
with determination when the daily
going is rugged. Worry is one OF
our worst headaches today and sure
" today there is much we might
worry about. One can't get away
from shadows of planes and ships
troops, death and privation. Peo-
pie have worried before us, genera
lions ago they feared evil, needed re-
assuring that darkness would pass
and that with courage and conf
dence they would some, through
to light and goodness. There is no
talk IN Kennewick that society
will never regain its stand in edu-
cation, science, industry and so on,
as before the war. Most citizens
have faith that we will move on
and come out better for the burn
ing lessons. We need to practice
less of worry and concentrate more
on courage. 49,.

Harold Willmsen's quotation from
General Sherman sure was right,
especially as it applies to the people
in the northern part of the county.
But a large share Of the worry and
uncertainty could so easily have
been avoided A simple explana-
ton on the part of the authorities
to the, residents Of that section
would have prevented all the hys-
tria and i'll feeling which seems to
have been engendered over the prof.
ect. AS soon as the people begin
to understand the scope Of the at
fair, they prove themselves as patri-
otto as any other people in the
entire country. It's merely that they
don't understand and why this In
formation-even as much as is APP
parently permitted could not have
been given them at the beginning,
is hard to understand Most troubles
are due to misunderstanding and
when all know the circumstances
the troubles iron out so easily us
ually. But this is war and in war
individuals do get hurt. .-. 3

When an editor continues a sub
scriber's name on the list after his
subscription has expired it is evil
dence that the editor trusts the sub
scriber and believes he will pay as
soon as he can get to it. No editor
could have any reason for sending
his paper to a man whom he felt
didn't want it, or. whom he did not
believe would pay for it. The sub
scrfber should be equally fair with
the editor. If his label shows his
subscription has expired and he
does not desire the paper to con-
tinue coming to his address he
should call up the editor or drop
him postal requesting that the
paper be discontinued. The fact
that subscriber continues to take
the paper from his mail box is evil
dence to the editor that the sub
scriber wishes the paper to keep on
coming to his address.

AMERICAN RED CROSS

The American Red Cross is asking
for funds with which to continue Its
good works. It shouldn't take an
editorial to awaken anyone to the
worthiness of the American Red
Gross, it doesn't need our words OF
praise for your unanimous approval
of its benefits. It shouldn't need
printers ink to put down in black
and white what keeps the Red Cross
able to pour its blessings on the sick
and dying, hungry and forelorn,
homeless and destitute. What it is
doing or our fighting boys today it
did yesterday and will do so tomor-
row and tomorrow and tomorrow
IF you will help by contributing
to the organization. They ask for
so little in comparison to the uni
versal good they create. Your
dollars become food for starving
children and milk for motherless
babe, a sweater for chilled old
man and shawl for an aged won-
an, blood for a weak marine and a
bandage for the wounds Of soldier,
a robe for a convalescing aviator,
a letter home and a light is each
dollar you give. ,. $751; .
There are constant drains on the
purse, times when we all say what
next and mean it. But of all calls,
never, no NEVER. disregard the
plea of the American Red Cross. No
need to stress its works in war and
in peacetirne where nature deals in
floods and fires. You are aware Of
the deeds of its organization. Ask
your soldiers if you aren't convinced
of its needs today, ask a neighbor
who has received help, ask friend
who has worked hours in a produc-
ton room. But that is unnecessary
just ask YOURSELF for you know
The answer. Give to the American
Red Cross so it can minister to the
worlds wounds. Be a part with your
heart and your dollars. ai @ i

THE POINT SYSTEM

Well, it hit and even hit harder
than most of us imagined! We
allude to the rationing of canned
and frozen fruits and vegetables and
of some dried ones as well. We
expected to be cut down in our
purchases since that is the purpose
of rationing, but most of us didn't
figure it would be quite as strict
and binding. What of it! The
buyer is sitting down to list her
need, checking with the slip which
shows how many points per can,
seeing that her daily menus and her
ration book cooperate. She will
alter her past methods a bit, letting
the points influence her in making
out the shopping list. The plan will
cause difficulty at first and meals
will be hard to line up in order to
stay within the bounds but just give
her time! The dining table will
carry as fine meal, as nourishing
a dinner with enough to satisfy
the appetite, as ever. Of course we
have lived too much out of cans.
Now we are going to change tao
tics with the family appetite at
stake and please them with more
fresh vegetables. Heretofore the to-
matoes, peas, corn and beans were
put up for our convenience by
famous brands in shining tins and
opened by a turn of the wrist and
can opener, removed to heat in
time. Now it will take
more time to clean carrots, string
beans, shell peas. Well raise our
corn and tomatoes in the back yard.
Since commercial growers are stick
ing to the essentials if we favor
cauliflower, asparagus and iceberg
lettuce, We'll have to grow our own.
But we are going to be sure to plant
more for canning. Wives of Kenne-
wick insist on this. So although we
may seem hard hit by the point sys-
tenn we are going to recover and no
doubt improve our characters by
being more resourceful and certainly
more appreciative.

and MARINTS are busily enlisting
women and girls in their service
and throughout the nation the FEM
mine word is "go." These women
in service carry their natty uniforms
well and are justly proud of their
appearance. Their training in vari-
Gus branches to make them eligible
for defense plans of the govern
ment gives them added reason for
pride. Through them men are re-
leased for active duty which means
that these feminine forces play a
major role in providing the country
with fighting men. In many OF
the branches of labor studied and
performed women are proving more
skillful and dexterous than men
formerly used here. These recruits
are having an opportunity to study
in fields never opened to women
before. Just ask them how they
like it! More power to every one
of them and. our blessings.

A SUGGESTION

Recent petition by resident fol
another bridge across the irrigation
canal brings to mind an improve
ment which the community should
be giving some serious thought to in
the very near future. There should
be no bridges anywhere in the city
across the canal. The canal should
be carried under the street crossings
in syphons-or perhaps not just
across the streets but clear through
town. Eventually this will be neces-
sary, or the ditch itself will need be
relocated along the base of the first
bench surrounding the town.

What wouldn't any of us give for
just the tiniest peek at what the
future holds in store for us in the
next six months or year! Could be
that one of the most profitable agri-
cultural sections in the state would
be transformed to strictly indus
trial area, very greatly to the per-
sonal advantage of all Of us. In
a world of changes, perhaps ours
will be the greatest wrench of all,
but ultimately we'll all be the
