LOOK AGAIN

A poster recently issued to re-
tail merchants by the food ration
ing division of the Office of Price
Administration, tells the con-
sumer in words and pictures how
to get coffee. The merchants are
displaying these posters in thou
sands of stores throughout the
land. They are doing their level
best to make coffee rationing a
little less onerous to the public.
Consumers who become i'm
patient with the red tape in
(which necessities Of life are now
wrapped, have only to look at
the coffee poster - the backside
There they can see little of the
led tape which the merchant
must unravel before he can en-
JOY the privilege OF serving his
customers. In this case it is
merely the requirements which
to be complied with if the retail
er is to restock a few bags OF
coffee. Othef requirements which
the merchant must meet if he is
to stay in business are so mani
fold and complex that the sim
plest of transactions has become
a grim undertaking. Price fixing,
quality and quantity of goods are
all subject to complicated re-
strictions affixed with heavy pen
alties for violations. A $4,000
fine and ten years in prison is a

The majority of American ci-
tizens will say amen" to the
following quotation from a New
York Times editorial:
THE quickest way to increase
manpower is to increase man.
hours. We must increase the ma
tional working week to an aver
age of not less than 48 hours.
What even counts more than
man-hours as such is the total
productivity of labor within
those hours. We must end the
feather-bed practices built up by
the unions, the make-work, the
unnecessary jobs. We must in
crease the efficiency of labor,
management and organization.
These are some of the things we
must do before resorting to COM
pulsory labor service. with the
tremendous problems this pre-
sents."
Specifically, examples of fea-
ther-bed practices referred to by
the Times, are rules and prac-
tices that limit production, such
as extremely short hauls between
division points on railroads
which, under present contracts
constitute a full days work for
the train crew, the limitation oi
soft coal miners to IS hours pc,
week. and the restrictions or
most effective utilization of la.
Dor in the contraction field ir
building trades contracts, which
require the services of three OF
four men to do a job one could
do more quickly alone.
There is no use in longer try
ing to dodge the fact that the
length of the work week anc
rules and regulations that re-
strict maximum individual out
put, are today the heart of the
manpower problem.
When most individuals in tht
land, and when every soldier il
uniform has given up his norma
living standards for the duration
to help win the war, it is indecen
to say the least, for any grouI
in this nation to use its power t.

leges and "feather-bed non-pro

FARMERS AND THE
WAR

Farmers of Ohio are not un-
patriotic, or unmindful of the war
in their demands for the clock
to be set back, declared Murray
D. Lincoln, executive secretary
of the Ohio Farm Bureau.
On the contrary, farmers are
anxious to save electricity. They
are anxious that the workers on
their farms function with the
greatest amount of efficiency at
the beginning of the day and at
the end OF it. They are anxious
to prevent accidents involving
either their children, their truck
drivers or themselves. They are
interested in taking care of their
business in town with the few
est possible number of trips. And
the fast Ohio time tha tthey are
now forced to operate under puts
them at a disadvantage in rela-
ton to these and other considera-
TONS
Mr.. Lincoln pointed out that
Ohio is really following double
daylight saving plan. Farm Btu
reau leaders in Columbus have
received an ever increasing num-
Der of requests from farmers in
all parts of the state asking for
legislation to put Ohio in the
Central Time zone.
The farmers themselves took
action on the issue at the recent
ts4th ANNUAL convention of the
Ohio Farm Bureau Federation in
Columbus last month in a reso-
luton urging "that Ohio return
to Central Time, that is, to Cen
trail War Time as now in effect" :"
The resolution stated that the
present time places Ohio far
ahead of Sun Time and causes
much inconvience and wasteful
use of electricity.

Republican representation and the
launching of new programs to speed
the winning of the war will mean
strenuous work.
MOST of you probably agree with
A'A me that this Republican swing
cannot properly BE- interpreted as a
sudden love of Republicans as such,
but really expresses the determine
ton of the American people to re-
tain the balance of two party checks
and opinion Upon the executive
branch of government. their discon-
tent over the muddle in production,
in food supply and over the con-
tinuing confusions of an inadequately
planned draft.
Disguised with Municipalities, ex-
travagance and with unnecessary
spending. the voters did all in their
power to enc these things, to get
down to essentials, and so to win
the war.
