President Of u S. Chamber Of Commerce Says Business
Will Have To Face Problem Of Employment
Or Face The Consequences

\ KANSAS CITY, Mo.-A warning
to business that ''labor unions are
here to stay''-from none other
than the president of the US.
Chamber of Commerce-was given
here at the annual meeting of the
Chamber.
Eric A. Johnston, youthful c. of {.
president, also pointed out that bust
ness will have to solve the problem
of employment or face the conse-
quences-a change in the economic
system. Naturally he deplored such
a change. the specter of the depres-
sion which the country passed through
in the decade prior to the war is
haunting the minds of many he said.
The keynote of Johnston's speech
was a plea for harmony and coopera-
. ton among management, labor, agrl-
: culture and government. In discuss
ing labor he said:
Management must understand
that labor unions are here to stay ;
that we must have lower and lower
profits per unit, and bigger and
bigger volume of sales. Labor must
remove any acts or policies which
restrict or retard production"
Johnston's only solution for post
war unemployment is that "the four
great interests must work together to
produce more goods, better in quail
ity and cheaper in price. This is the
key to employment.
In an interview, Johston foresaw a
boom period after the war due to ex
, panding international markets and de-
mand for consumer goods in this
country. During this period, he hopes
that business can work out plans to
keep employment at peak level, but
on the chow" he is vague

Victory Gardeners
 Get Farmers Woes

BOULDER. Colo.-A spring storm flattened the pea plants of victory gardeners, shredded the lettuce plants and froze the beans.
 This gave city folks glimpse of farmers everyday problems, . says A. A. Paddock, publisher of the Boulder Daily Camera. He constantly is fighting frost, wind, dust storms and drought.
 So perhaps another advantage of the Victory Garden movement is the greater understanding it will bring between city dwellers and the farmers"

DIM0UT FOR NATION NOW
 CONSIDERED
Continuance of Coal Strike May Cause Definite
 Action Taken

WASHINGTON, June 3. = The War Production Board has com pleted plans to dim the nations lights on a moments notice if the coal strikes make such action nec- essary, it is learned.
 WIPES office of war utilities put the finishing touches on arrange ments for a nationwide dimout at a conference last night, an inform ed but unquotable source revealed. A large part of the country's elec- tric energy comes from coal-fueled steam plants.
 Details were withheld, but dis cusSion is known to have centered on proposals for elimination of or namental lighting indoors and out, and curtailment of show windows, theatre marquee, outdoor advertis- ing and similar illumination.
 Preparations for a drastic cut in railroad service, eliminating non- essential travel have been brought to a similar ready point, the Off, flee of Defense Transportation re- ported.
 These orders, if issued, are eX- pected to be of universal applica- tion, even though some sections of the country rely almost exclusively on hydro electric or diesel-generat- ed power and some railroad lines do not use coal for motive power.
 Although officials said the dim out action may contain some pro- visions for exception of areas where coal is not used, they point ed out that a prolonged coal mine stoppage would shift demand to other sources of energy and create shortages in other fuels.

GUN SMOKING HISTORIC TALE
 IS TENSE FILM
Tombstone, Ariz., Scene of True -to-Life Western
 at 20th Century

The wild days of the old South west, when Wyatt Earp, famous frontier marshal and gun-fighter, was out to tame every bad man in the territory with fists and six shooter, blazed into life on the screen of the goth Century Theatre last night, when Paramount's Tombstone-the Town Too Tough to Die" was presented to a thrilled audience.
 The true story centers around the most exciting period in the life of the nemesis of the desperadoes -- when he became marshal of Tomb stone and clashed with the most dangerous gang in the West, fin ally breaking the grip on the town.
 The whole story is told with cleo tric excitement and acted out by a splendid cast Richard Dix, Kent Taylor and Edgar Buchanan are starred and lovely Frances Clifford, Don Castle, Clem Bevans, Victor Jory and Rex Bell round out the featured support.
 Harry sherman, producer of the always entertaining "Hopalong Cassidy series, who is the outstand- ing maker of Westerns, can take pride in having produced Tomb stone-the Town Too Tough To Die" It deserves a place with the best outdoor adventures the screen has yet presented.

 OF ATThC,.K

ABOARD A SPECIAL MEDICAL TRAIN ENROUTE TO AN ARMY HOSPITAL IN THE NORTHWEST AREA, June 3.-"It was just hill and probably won't get into the history books like Hill 609 or Mis- sionary Ridge, but the men aboard this train took it, and wars are won by men who are wounded, even on little hills.
 Tt was a weather-blasted ridge on Attu, and we'd come ashore without opposition in the Holtz Bay area" said Sergt Lawrence Bradley of Alta Vista, Kansas.
 If you wanted to land under fire you had to light a match" he grinned. Then maybe three miles in we hit this hill.
 Tt was just rock, no shrubs, no grass, no nothing" interjected Pvt. Ben Allen of Winchester, Kentucky
 Tt was maybe three thousand feet of grief-raw fog was hanging on it and ribbons of snow and ice The Japs were on top" Bradley resumed
 Under Enemy Fire
 They threw everything they had at us, rifle slugs, mortar shells, grenades, and anti-aircraft shells. You feel as big as barn when those old bullets are whizzing by you" said big Bradley, who weighs POS pounds and is one inch short of six feet.
 He added, "The Japs had all the good spots picked out. Every Jap had a foxhole stocked with food and ammunition and was fixed to fight to the finish. They are grlUJy beggars," he said.
 Halfway up the hill the Japs dropped a mortar shell near Brad ley. He put his rifle bullets under his right arm, climbed back to his feet and went to the dressing sta- ton. The rest of the men went on.
 T got pretty near to the top Sgt. J. R. Allison of Merced, Calf, said: You'd make a rush, then belly down in the snow, you'd shoot. You could hear the Japs yelling there in the fog. It was a hell of a way of throwing stuff at us."
 A rifle bullet pierced Allison's cheek. He was knocked down and out, and minutes later he stum- bled down hill, where the stretcher bearers met him.
