Paragraph II of Local Board Release
No 1874 (revised January 16, 1943)
which states, when registrant is
found who could be placed in Glass
TIC or III-C but for the fact that he
is not responsible for production of
q sufficient number of war unis of
essential products in the estimation
of the local board, the local employ
ment office of the war manpower COM
mission should be advised of the name
and address of the registrant and of
the fact that he would be eligibleefor
if he could be moved to farm where
he would be responsible for the pro-
duction of such war credits. In order
to give such employment offices an
opportunity to endeavor to place such
|registrant-the local board shall not
classify or reclassify him until 80
days after such advice has been given
to the local employment office of the
war manpower commission"
Because of the above and until we
advise you to the contrary, the policy
in Montana, which should be followed
by all local boards, is that no bona
fide agricultural worker who has
background and history of such work
will be indicted into service without
due process. If it is found that such
qualified worker has been ordered to
report for induction by any local
board in the state, such induction will
be ordered cancelled by the State
Director until such time as the case
can be reviewed and recommendations
given.
This advice is given to all local
boards for the reason that it is not
our intention to allow any registrant
who is eligible for nc or III-C CLASH
fication to be indicted into the serv-
ice without due process
In all agricultural cases where the
state board of appeal sustains the
local board in classification of Ia
and the file is returned in that form,
the local board should first refer such
registrants to the U. S. Employment
Service in accordance with Paragraph
II of Local Board Release 1874 (re-
vised January 16, 1922 before con-

chasing them, even to lengthen his
efforts to produce more food with less
man labor.
We can plainly see where parity
or one or two commodities by the
government applied to one or two
classes of industry is quite out of
reason and unless a relative unit of
parity" can be realized, a unity of
justice can in no wise be gained for
in economics nor law can part be
bound and the rest be free.
If our government is anxious to in
crease the production of farm pro-
duce, then why not take the price of
all elements entering into the pro-
duction out of the control of private
price fixing bodies and place them in
parity fixing, price fixing, ceiling fix
ing boards as they have done farm
commodities and labor?
Some will say no material is now
available to make farm machinery as
implements of war is first. Is food
of less importance to all than battle
equipment?
Some will say all factories making
farm equipment is under contract to
the government to make war equip
ment AS war necessity why not
set aside patent consideration and set
the many small manufacturers-mad
idle by placing of large contracts in
the hands of big business-and permit
them, under government control, to
provide machines or parts for farm
producers at a cost that will enable
farmers to produce food at an honest
price?
Is uniform price or profit unit
reaching into all commodities going
to be a post war object? Is extor-
tionate profit taking going to be
crime the same as they say aggres
sion will be? e. B. S.

Dear Sir:
l do not believe a newspaper should
have to depend on voluntary contribu-
lions to exist; neither do l believe a
paper such as yours should go out of
existence for lack of finances, so 1
am sending my check for five dollars
to help the cause.
Since the primary purpose of your
paper is to distribute information, l
believe the best way to help is to in
crease circulation. With that object
in mind, l would like to know what it
would cost me to send gift subscrip-
lions for about two or three months
to some of my friends I feel sure
that they would want to keep the
paper coming after having read it
few times.
Would like to express my views on
the manpower question. l believe
that if we equip an army of seven or
eight million and send all possible
material to our Allies who are doing
the heaviest fighting we will win the
war quicker than to try to build our
army to eleven or twelve million men.
If we keep more producers (of both
food and war materially here at home,
we can send more aid to our Allies,
save shipping facilities and get things
over to the battle fronts in less time
than trying to send an army so large
that 1t taxes our production and trans
portation facilities to the limit to sup
ply it.
Wishing you continued success,

has been done by passing the infam-
Gus Bankers Gravy Bill" and other
such bills are on their way.
Act 2: When the rotten economy

of them as possible) are out of the
way, the economy song is promptly
forgotten and the time is then ripe to
put over, the main rotten bill or bills

for under usual circumstances.
The paen for economy now change to
dolorous dirge for the threatened
demise of some of our most cherished
institutions, such as old age pensions,
social security, schools, teachers pen

Act 3: The heat is now turned on:
The saloons, gamblers, FOUNDERS, and
panderers get busy; you legislators
had better pass this gambling bill

Mr. Editor:
AS a dumb old man, l fail to see
the full drift of the question of farm
labor shortage, as. being carried by
speech, radio and press as consistent
according to past pre-war arguments
of labor SURPRISES, etc.
In years past idleness and lack of
employment was due to too much ma
chine equipment, and now that man
power is short it must be due to a
ack of machine equipment on the
farms.
Now if they can analyz the cost of
farm products - of course taking in
mutual risks of nature (rust, hail,
drouth, insects, frosts and price fail
ures) and arrive at a PARITY price,
fixing a CEILING price at an exact
correct profit basis for farmers and
farm labor, why do they not carry
the same analysis to the production
of farm machinery and parts to final
basis of costs and profit so farm
prices, labor prices and machinery
prices may be on same parity of price
and profit and if he farmer is short
of man labor he can feel justified in
trning to machine labor to lengthen
out his efforts of production?
We are forced to note that parity"
thus far is fully applied to farm and
labor, but no effort is ever mentioned
in its analysis or application to trust
processed commodities, hence, ceiling
prices on all articles processed from
primary commodities are left by the
price fixing boards where placed by
trusts, with prices so high that ordi-
nary farmers can not compare board
fixed prices of farm production with
trust fixed prices on his implements,
