Tenant Farmers Hit
War Prisoners Use In
Labor Surplus Areas

M m p h is, Tenn. (ILNS) The
Southern Tenant Farmers Union has
protested to the War Food Admins
tration against the use of war pris-
oners where the union says there is a
surplus of native labor
Prisoners of war are being used to
chop cotton in Mississippi Delta plan
tations when there is a surplus of
American labor available for farm
work in this area" H. L. Mitchell, the
unions general secretary charged in
his letter of protest.
Secretary Mitchell said there was a
surplus of labor, but that workers had
refused to accept wages below the
prevailing scale in that area.
'Our organization has no objection
to the use of prisoners of war on
farms provided there is an acute
shortage of labor for harvesting per-
ishable food crops and that our gov
ernment receives for such labor pay
equal to the prevailing rates being
paid Americans" Mitchell wrote.

War Damage Insurance
From the Miami, Fla, Herald)

(From the Miami, Fla, Herald)
The first year of Government War
Damage Insurance is about to expire.
Already insured are being told to re-
new their policies at the original pre-
MUM rate of 81 per $1,000.
The American Business Congress
in New York points out that when
this form of insurance was proposed
it was stated that the Government did
not intend to make profit out of it,
that premiums already collected are
sufficient to care for emergencies, and
that to demand additional premiums
now would be an unnecessary hard
ship on small business and individuals.
Congress can well afford to extend
this insurance without additional
premiums. The Government should
keep its word.
