Cost Of Living Index Is Not Worth
Paper It Is Printed On. OPA Admits

Organized labor has vigorously con-
tended the Department of Labor's cost
Of-living index is not worth the paper
it is printed on and has protested its
use as yardStick with which to
measure wages. The reason. labor has
insisted. is that the government has
permitted black mark teers and
protiteerS to run hog Wild in exact
ing prices far above the ceilings.
These claims are supported in every
particular by the Office Of Price Ad-
miniStration. A confidential report, pre-
pared for the benefit of officials by the
division of research, contains this ad-
mission:
"A factor contributing to the rising
cost of living has been the violation of
ceiling prices. These have become more
fragrant in recent months. Many vio-
lationS are not reflected in the index.
The black market operations, of course,
are not shown in the index.

The bylaws of Local Union % have
been amended, whereby any member
fined for non-attendance, will have
same charged against him as dues.
There is no possible chance to avoid
this penalty for failing to attend at
least one meeting Il month, unless
through sickness or some other reason
beyond your control, but you must re-
port same to the local.
We had Il very pleasant surprise at
our last meeting when Brother Dens-
more who is now working for Uncle
Sam dropped in. He has been stationed
overseas for some time and was one
of the very few fortunates who were
granted furloughs from an overseas
station. He was transported to the
U. S. A.. by plane, which took II hours
flying time.

to arrange for locating practitioners
in places which have been without
them.
Workers have refused to work until
they have been assured doctors will
be made available for calls in their
home towns In the event Of accidents
in industries, including coal mines,
shipyards, and other plants, it would
be necessary to call a practitioner
from some distance, with no assurance
he would be available at the time.
Also, there would be no doctor to at
tend to cases of sickness and injury
in the homes of the workers.
Never before have doctors been so
scarce. This condition prevails in coal
mining centres, with the possibility of
mine mishaps, with serious injuries,
entombments, and deaths. At some
places, miners have refused to enter
the pits until at least one doctor has
been provided for any emergency.
