FDR runs for a 4th term. Also
Harry is a poker playing intimate
of Jesse Jones.
Siding with Wallace were Budget
Director Harold Smith and his chief
aide Wayne Coy Smith, a Repubii-
can, together with Coy, maintained
that Wallace and Perkins had done
an excellent Administrative job.
Their BEW was the only new Gov
eminent agency not to have its ap-
preparations cut by Congress, had
reeouped U. S. war materials abroad
after about half of them were cor
allied by the Japs. And, according
to the budget directors, BEW did
not deserve to be penalized.
In the end, FDR himself decided
to GUST Wallace. The Vice-Presi-
dent had submitted memo to the
White House two weeks before, tell
ing OF recent Jesse Jones delays
in the purchase of strategic ma
terials These were not delays OF
,e months ago, as stated in the
Presidents letter, but instances OF
the last few days and weeks where
war materials were held up despite
the constant importuning of Wal
lace and Perkins.
After this memo had been on tbs
Presidents desk for two weeks witt
no action, Wallace finally opened
his public blast.
He told the President in advance
that he was going to make state
ment, but either Roosevelt did mo-
appreciate how strong the statement
was going to be, or else Wallace go
bis dander up and warmed to TIE
writing afterwards.
At any rate, the blast caught tht
President off base and he was
irked.

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel
TUESDAY, JULY 81

Aspects friendly and unfriendly
to jewellers on the planet Earth arc
active today. The morning IS aus
picious for the best interests %
the nation.
HEART AND HOME: Good news
may be expected today in letters
as we'll as in dailies and on the
radio. 1t should be fortunate day
for signing legal papers OF every
sort, even divorce DEGREES. This Is
a day for hard work, for doing and
net dreaming. Girls should concen-
trate upon their jobs and distrust
midsummer discomfort. Vacations
this year may be restricted, but
happiness may be found in nearby
beauty spots where young folk will
find plenty of romance which is
independent of gasoline rationing.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Discussion
OF opposite views on the desirability
of a balanced budget will divide
public opinion. The new conception
that a huge public debt is ma
tional asset instead of a liability
and that continual deficit spend
ing is essential to prosperity, which
is advocated by the Resources Plan
ming Board, will be comforting to
many who are alarmed at the vast
outlay necessary to our part in the
war. With the President and many
members of Congress holding to
the traditional view that an I'M
balanced budget with rapidly ris-i
ing public debt imperils the finan-
cial stability of the nation there
is a forecast of future controversy
which will be of great concern.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Training OF
Iconvicts for future usefulness in
various trades is declared to be a
first step toward new way of
treating criminals condemned to
Imprisonment. Astrologers long have
foretold that the Aquarium age
would bring sweeping changes in
the treatment of lawbreakers and
that outworn penitentiary methods
would be replaced by scientific
measures of rehabilitation The
trend in postwar days will be def
initely toward the making of bet
ter men and women, spiritually
awakened and mentally developed.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
Engineers in the United Nations
armed forces are to prove their eff
ficiency, first in destroying public
works and thus retarding enemy
progress and next in rebuilding or
restoring conquered areas. The value
Of education and intensive training
will be demonstrated magnificently
on all battle fronts in which Am
orleans are engaged. Our physicians
and surgeons are to be victorious
in saving hundreds of lives while
chemists will continue to contri-
butte wonderful discoveries that re-
duce loss of life among the wound
ed Astrologers prophesy world rec
ignition of our specialized attain-
mentS.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of a year of adj
vancement Travel and changes are
foretold for many men.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be subtle Of mind and
strong of body. They should be am
bilious, original and imaginative.
Happy lives are indicated.

JUDGE vINsoN PERFORMS

White House adviser who did the
most efficient job for the President
during the Jones' Wallace row was
hard hitting Judge Fred Vinson. He
was the man who stopped the Con-
gressional investigation of the dis
pute. Because the President had
ckayed four letters authorizing Jesse
Jones to hold up rubber, aluminium
and other strategic materials, a
Congressional investigation was the
last thing the administration want
ed. 1t would have shown that the
President had acted hastily, 10 say
the least, IN signing Jones niemos.

III the employers. Doth are
moved by the very human desire to secure fin
ancial return. Financial returns for the employers
are profits, for the workers wages.
The profit motive is the incentive which
prompts the enterpriser to risk his capital. The
necessity to living for himself and family,
which is an even more compelling emotion than
the desire for profit, is what stimulates the work
er to seek and hold his employment.
Profits-divdends and interest are the reward
for the enterpriser. Wages and bonus are the re-
ward for the workers.
BONUS
Studies made over a series Of plants indicate
that one of the best stimulants to production and
steady attendance in industry is the bonus which
a number of wise employers give their employees
as a reward for faithful and steady work.
Since this is so, it seems to me that bonus
for steady workers would not only be reward
for these workers in the way of material recog-
milton of their services; but that the use of the
system would become stimulus for other and
less steady and reliable employees.
1t is my firm conviction that unnecessary ab-
senteeism could be cut to minimum by bonus
payment as suggested, which while it might cost
the employer slightly more than he had figured
on, would more than compensate him in the long
run 1t would result in efficiency, better at
tendance at work, better morale among the work
ers, improved production output and feeling Of
satisfaction among the workers receiving recog-
milton in tangible way from their employers
No one is more anxious to eliminate absentee
ism that the labor Unions themselves, and it is
the hope of the officers Of Local IL that the
management of Toledo industries will avail
themselves of the method of stimulating better
worker attendance, by giving their employees some
concrete evidence that they recognize faithful
service.

conditions in our plants, how we were treated IN
those old days not so far removed Remember
some of the hard-boiled bosses? Remember how,
if they didn't like the way you fastened your tie,
(if you wore te), or the way you answered
them, they would give you tongue lashing which
made your blood boil but about which you could
do little or nothing because your duty was to work
and earn living for yourselves and families,
Remember the rules? Remember how you had
to sneak a smoke, and run chance of being fired
if the boss caught you?
Remember how you would sneak an apple out
of your lunch box and after carefully looking
around to make sure the boss wasn't looking, grab
mouthful and if the boss walked in your direc-
ton gulp it down unchewed to have it lie in your
stomach like rock?
Yes sir Those were the good old days
IT'S DIFFERENT NOW
y All the workers who remember the conditions
in the old days will appreciate what change has
been brought about by the unions.
Rates of 40 and as cents per hour are now
$1OQ or more, And we don't get fired if we try.
to get an increase, because the Union and the law
of the land protects us and gives the right to
speak in our own behalf.
Not only are we permitted to smoke in most
of the shops, at least in designated areas; but we
also have the right to stop and grab sandwich
and beverage several times each day. Moreover,
we are now allowed to have lunch wagon drive
up and bring the food right to us,
No longer do the bosses have the workers GO
ing into deleriums of joy at their smile flaming
at their frown. Bosses are respectful and now
treat us like we human beings.
There are some of our boys who forget the
old days in their satisfaction with things as they
are, They are making money and living better
than they have in many years Many of them are
living better than they ever did before and it is
this class of workers who need to be reminded of
what used to be and cautioned not to forget that
what has happened before again.
Let us by all means appreciate the present;
but let US appreciate it enough to take interest
in ot1runion and remember that eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty.

LITTLE LUTHER

What" Little Luther asked,
sis Eddie Rickenbacker so mad
about ?"
"He's mad" Mr.. Dilworth re-
piled, "at all those absentees, la
Dor racketeers, fourth-term bu-
reaucrats and New Deal regi-
mentators that are running the
war effort"
isn't he mad at Hitler, too?"
Let keep Hitler out of this.
Mr.. Rickenbacker is hero and
as hero he is telling the Amer
lean people some of the truths
that only Westbrook Pegler had
the courage to tell them before"
"Why doesn't he tell them
about long delays in production
that were caused by manage
, ment's refusal to convert until
they got contracts at their own
terms and money to build plants
from the government"
That's smokescreen talk, my
boy, to hide the sins of labor.
Think of it, my boy, business
is about to be ruined by the 49,
hour week, In the midst of
great war to preserve private
enterprise, this crazy man Roose-
welt has ordered industry to work
on a schedule that will bankrupt
it,"
"But, gee, Daddy, Mr.. Ricken-
baeker is yelling at the wrong
people then. He's been blaming
labor for not working long
enough and now you say that
management doesn't want to
WORK longer,
"You misunderstood, Luther.
The point is that it costs more
to have workers work that extra
eight hours at time-and-a- a-half."
"But they produce more, don't
they?"
'You don't get production my
boy, without incentive and you
can't have incentive without
profits"
"But if the management needs
incentive, what's wrong with
slipping a little to the workers
too?"
"Can't be, Luther. We're liv-
ing in an age of specialization.
Sudden incentive might go to
the workers heads, unaccustom-
ed as they are to having it."
