Instances of meteoric promotions

Labor Draft Measure
Is Dangerous Snare,
Murray Declares
BodIy-Plonned ALLEGATION
OF Contracts BIumed
For Production Ills

Fy the Associated Press.
Terming the Austin Wadsworth
labor draft bill dangerous snare. -
President Philip Murray of the CLIO
told the Senate Military Affairs
Committee today that badly
planned contract ALLEGATIONS rather
than a manpower shortage are
largely responsible for war pro-
ductlon problems.
In statement read by Van A.
Bittner, assistant to the president
of the United Steel Workers OF
America, Mr.. Murray said some war
plants had expanded labor forces in
areas not equipped to handle such
concentrations of workers.
In other instances, he added. in
dustry refused to pay adequate
wages or complained of a labor
shortage while refusing to hire
available colored workers or women
He blamed "uninformed. inexpert
local draft boards" for withdra wing
'sorely needed workers in many
areas"

rays statement said.
1T is not only no contribution TO
pass such law, it is a dangerous
snare and delusion. Passage of
the bill would hull the Nation into
a false sense of security with the
notion that we had solved our man
power problem when, in fact. we had
not even tackled the problem.

producing bulbs Of their own to a
great extent. However. the seeming
calamity of no lily bulbs has turned
out to be boomerang. The Easter
lily planting last year did not bring
a great profit, but this year it is
going to be a gold mine.
Lilies are propagated by division
OF the offsets, by bulbils, scales or by
seeds. BY far the best method with
most species is by division Of the off
sets which form at the base of the
parent bulb or at the end of rhi-
ZONE.
The best time to divide and re-
plant is from two to four weeks after
the flowers fade.
Many find raising lilies from seeds
an exciting adventure. But this re-
quires time. patience, skill and care.
No one can tell where lilies will do
best. They will grow on the Pacific
Coast, in Texas, Louisiana and Flor
Ida, and wherever the soil and the
climate are acceptable.
The flowers Of the Easter lily are
solitary, terminal and perfect. Each
one has a long pistil and six sta
mems. Lilies are unequaled by any
other plant, for they have the unique
combination Of gracefulness, state
illness. beauty. fragrance and last
ing qualities. They also propagate
rapidly, If you know how to make
them comfortable and feed them
well.

EASTER LILY
(Liliun, lorgifounl)

Hy LILLIAN COX ATHEY.
Easter without lilies would be like
Christmas without holly. Thanks to
the work of scientists all over the
country, interested in providing us
with beautiful lilies at this season,
we are going to have them. Pearl
Harbor woke us up to another Of our
blessings-we have been importing
too many lily bulbs from Japan. We
have our own now and for all time to
come. Further, we have a much bet
ter variety than the Japs could pro-
duce.
No doubt about 1t, the lily is an
aristocrat. Her perfume and exqui-
site purity always have made her
the favorite for weddings. But the
lily is not temperamental, and she
has few insect foes. Further, she
can be placed in cold storage and
come out in fine shape for use at
times other than Easter.
Perhaps our own lilies will cost
more. That is why we have been
buying inferior bulbs from Japan for
30 long. The plants were acceptable
and the greenhouse men had so
many troubles they did not 60 in for
