Babson Suggesting Rules
For Business After War

peace comes. but BY all means
avoid unnecessary commitments.
Insure Accounts Receivable
In addition to providing yourself
with sufficient working capital and
guarding against inventory losses,
1t is we'll carefully to watch receiy.
ables. II possible, keep these down
TO a 30-day basis. Even though you
are careful yourself in providing
for postwar reserves. many OF your
customers will not be SO careful.
Hence. when the government and
sub-contractors cancel their con-
tracts. the latter may be unable TO
pay you what they owe you. Thus.
il is we'll to insure certain accounts
receivable.
Companies having outstanding
cumulative preferred stocks should
try to retire such issues. This
would be in addition TO eliminating
bond issues and bank loans. 1t is
also wise to set up a sinking fund
of per cent OF the net sales from
now on to provide for losses on
any receiyables which are not prop
erly insured. By all means do not
grab" for new war business at the
present time.
What About Salaries?
The salary situation is now pref
ty we'll frozen SO that it is very diff
ficult to raise salaries even II de-
sirable. Cases that are worthy OF
increases should be handled by bo'
muses. so as to avoid unpleasant re-
adjustments after the war is over
Statesmen can be kept on a sliding
scale, but this should be based on
profits rather than on volume. Al
though the temptation today is to
keep all employees, yet there are
some who could now wisely be let
go to their advantage as well as
yours.

Governor John Bricker has for years
sought to create the impression that he
was a conservationist.
On many occasions, Governor Bricker
has addressed himself to the citizens of
Ohio, to sp0rtsmen, to the general public
and to the school children of Ohio pro-
claiming his devotion to the cause Of CON.
servation.
In the light of what has occurred at
Keno Beach, and the governors indiffer.
ence two years ago, IL Is doubtful IL Mr..
Bricker is as sincerely devoted to the cause
OF conservation as he is to the political
fortunes of Governor John Bricker.
Residents of Reno Beach are not inter-
ested in what Mr.. Bricker has said about
conservation, but what he has done or In
tends to do about conserving their homes
and property and protecting them against
the ravages Of Lake Erie. They want
action and not pious lip service from those
whose duties include the conserving of the
resources and homes of the people Of Ohio.

1t is only by such unity Of action that we can
prevail upon our Congress to do something to
help the workers, and l am particularly gratified
to see such large and representative show Of
protest against the inequalities of the present
time.
GOOD NEWS
Good news came from Washington to the ef-
feet that the National War Labor Board is being
streamlined and that machinery is being put into
effect which will enable us to receive the answer
to our petitions, appeals, and other difficulties
which must go before the Board in from three
to four weeks.
l am sure that all our people, particularly
members of our executive shop committees, will
receive this news with a feeling of satisfaction,
because one of the greatest difficulties which we
have had has been in the long delays which have
ntervened between the time we send our briefs
to the WLB and the time we receive an answer.
CIGARETTE FUND
The third thing for which ask the support
of the officers and members Of Local IL is the
Overseas Cigarette Fund Drive conducted by the
Toledo Industrial Union Council.
/ know of finer way to show our apprecia-
tion for what our soldiers are doing for their
country than to remember them in a small way;
but a way they will appreciate.
If it is at all possible, and l am sure it is for
most of US, we should give to this cause. II you
can do So give 80 cents, or buy ticket to the ball
game. But give something, no matter how small
to make our soldiers happy.

Lobor's Summer

There will be no lying down on Labor's
political front this summer simply because
Congress has gone on a long recess.
While the immediate danger to Labor
has been lessened and absenteeism In
creased by several hundred Washington
legislators, there is job to do to get into
a position where Congress will listen when
it has rested up away from the heat Of the
capital.
Instead of sitting back and thanking
our lucky stars that Congress did adjourn
for the hot months, We should be grateful
for the opportunity to prepare for the re-
sumption of Congress, and leave no stones
unturned to present our case backed by the
millions of workers of the country.
Labor now has an opportunity to turn
from defensive to offensive action. It
must present such strong case for price
rolIbacks, subsidy payments and other
urgently needed measures, that Congress
will hesitate to refuse to pass the much
needed legislation.
Not only must Labor seek positive
legislation; but it must use every means at
its command to wipe out the anti-union
and harmful legislation which has been
passed during the present session of the
Congress.
Nor does Labor's job stop there during
this two-month breathing space, for 1t
must also anticipate and prepare for the
additional legislation which Is going to be
aimed at it by the reactionary interests of
the country.
What Congress does now and in the
coming year is going to determine to a
considerable extent what kind of country
we are going to live in when the war is
finished. II we can present strong united
front, we shall be able to hold our gains
until 1914, and then sweep out of office
those who have sought and will continue
to seek to destroy us.
