LABOR ON RATION BOARDS

Price A M in i S r t OIL Prentiss
Brown has ordered that representa-
tive of organized labor be added to all
ration boards, even if it means en-
larging the boards.
This is done, he says, because or
ganized labor is solidly behind price
control, rent control, and rationing
and labor unions are prepared to make
their support effective.
The American Federation of Labor
and local unions have been insisting
that without labor representation on
these boards the work of the boards
could not be fair and impartial. Work
ing people are the majority of our
population, and they should have a
voice in determining distribution of
all rationed commodities.
And here's the "catch" in the propo-
sition: None of the members Of ration
boards are compensated for their
work Only very small percentage of
employees of these boards are paid
anything. 1t is labor in the interest of
your community, in the interest of
the members of organized labor, in
the interest of winning the war, and
provides an opportunity to slap a Jap.
Union officials and members of or
ganized labor have never yet shirked
duty, be it civic or otherwise. They
expect to be paid for using their skills
commercially, but they will give their
time to any worthy cause. And this is
a worthy cause.
The OPA administrator has ordered
each district director to see that
labor man is added to his ration
boards. 1t is an opportunity for every
official of every labor union to prove
that we can do our part If you are
not called, do the calling yourself.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

achievements of the Nazi New Order
and pattern for the world" COM
ments the International Federation of
Trade Unions bulletin, in discussing
the British report.
The IFTU bulletin adds:
Recently, under the so-called
output wage operating in Germany,
a cut of between Is and 20 percent
was made in the piece rates. Wage
cuts in Germany with view to con-
trolling purchasing power, and in
crease in output by increase in wages,
are social principles which are poles
apart and which are characteristic of
their respective systems.
"The trend under the totalitarian
powers is toward an intolerable ag-
gravation of the material situation,
whereas under the democratic powers
it is toward greater social equality.
There should be no doubt, even in Ger
many, as to the outcome of the strug-
gle between the two"
Reports from Stockholm indicate
that the Germans are now sending
some of their recruits to Denmark to
train them there. The Danes ignore
them, as they do all the Germans, but
recently when Luxembourg recruits,
conscripted by the Nazis, arrived in
Jutlund they were overwhelmed by
presents and Danish hospitality The
Nazis, unable to stand this spectacle
for more than two days, transferred
the Luxemburgers.
Not long ago a number of Dutch
workers, seized by the Nazis for serv.
ice in Norway, passed through Den.
mark While waiting in Jutlunc
town the Netherlanders were shower.
ed with presents by the Danes, and il
fact such a large crowd of welcoming
citizens met them that about seven.
teen of the Dutch workers were able
! to make their escape in the crowd NJ
doubt they were later passed on tc
Sweden, the only sanctuary now left
i in the North of Europe.

INTERESTING facts on the wage
/ situation in Great Britain are re-
vealed by the British Ministry of La
Dor, in publishing the results of new
inquiry, dealing with wages in July,
1912. The inquiry covered about 3d.
600 firms in nearly all sections of
industry, with 6,250,000 employees.
The investigation shows that wages
are not quite keeping up with the cost
of living. The cost-of-living index
rose by some % percent, whereas the
average hourly rates of wages were
about "a percent above those obtain
ing before the outbreak of war.
Actual earnings increased by a
higher percentage due to overtime,
night and Sunday work and to in
creased output arising from change
over to piece work.
In the 16 industrial groups covered
in the inquiry, these increases in
earnings varied, for males, from %
percent in the paper, printing and al
lied trades, to 70 percent in metal and
shipbuilding industries. There is a
significant rise in womens wages in
these groups, amounting in the same
period to 80 and 80 percent respec-
lively.
There is an unmistakable and in
creasing, tendency for the gap be-
tween the upper and lower levels OF
British wages to narrow, not only as
between groups of industries, but also
as between skilled and unskilled labor
Since the inquiry was made, addi-
tional wage increases have beer
granted to a number of groups OF
workers, including seamen, railway
employees, cotton spinners and weav-
ers, shipyard workers and canteer
staffs.
Contrasting this wage policy with
that of Nazi Germany, one is aston
shed at the shameless mendacity OF
the labor dictator, Sauckel, who is
trying to show that the steadily fall
ing standard of living of the German
worker is one of the praise-worthy

HEAVIER TAXES INEVITABLE

While we have no figures for Florida,
a Washington dispatch says that the Ruml
Plan version will result in per capita for
giveness" which ranges from 81 in North
Dakota to $3.50 in Delaware.
Frankly, we are not interested in any
alleged forgiveness because what comes
to the taxpayer in this manner will be more
than taken from him by other and addition
al taxation.
Despite the long debate in Congress,
the propaganda that fooled millions OF
Americans and the efforts of politicians to
acquire a flicker of popularity, the fact re-
mains that the nation is spending so much
money for war purposes that heavier taxa
ton is inevitable.
So far as we can see it makes little
difference to the average citizen whether
the money is taken from him on the basis
Of 1912 income tax or 1913 war-financ-
ing tax. The net results for most little
Americans will be heavier than ever and
there is no way to avoid them

WARNING TO JAPAN

War with equal force on the European

The recapture of Attn, the bombing of Jap
anese bases in the Solomons area and the
occupation of island outpost positions are
preliminary to more important advances.

of the construction of five cargo ships a
day in the United States and the undoubted
completion of many warships which were

TIME TO QUIT KIDDING

In spite of the apparent success of the
last war bond drive, the ominous fact re-
mains that of the billions of dollars worth of
bonds sold only small proportion went to
individuals. AS usual banks, corporations
and other institutional investors with ac-
cumulated reserves absorbed most of the
obligation.
This means that the prosperous masses
are still riding the crest of a luxuriant war
boom, with income expanded in March,
1943, 20 per cent over March, 1912 Taxes
and bond buying will barely scratch the
surface of the billions of the new rich
This all adds up to one thing: The
people at home are still trying to fight the
war the easy way. Instead of sacrificing
comfort for the sake of victory as our men
are sacrificing their lives, they are, so far,
using the war as device to wallow in more
comfort.
Will our soldiers return to a luxury
satiated bankrupt homeland with Con-
gress still arguing over picayune tax details,
or land where the integrity and solemnity
of their government has been preserved?
The answer is with us.

Through legislative act, Dade, Orange
and Hillsboro counties will be permitted to
merge taxing officials and offices of the
county and cities, and as result, if the vot-
ers approve, it will mean savings and con-

ed efficiency in the conduct of the offices.

municipal and county offices, more than any

MEN WHO co DOWN IN SHIPS

War is terrible from any standpoint.
but some phases of it are more terrible than
others. We have heard good many Key
Westers say that, if they must go to war,
they prefer enlisting in the Navy to enter
ing the Army and we think the choice is
wise, with one exception.
What is the most dangerous instru-
ment of war in which to serve? Some may
say the airplane, few others may say the
tank, but the vast majority unhesitatingly
say the submarine
The government has realized that fact
from the time it began to use the submer-
sible in warfare, for officers of equal COM
mission or men of equal rating received
higher pay than they did in any other
branch of the Navy. Whether or not that
condition obtains now, we do not know;
possibly there may be an exception in the
case of a Navy airman.
But we do know this: down in the 81
lent depths, breathing synthezised air,
would wear on our nerves more than any
other branch of the armed services, and, as
taxpayers, we take the stand that subma-
rine men earn every penny they are paid
and more! The awful risks they run give
the general run of laymen severe case of
shoulders. ss.ae4'
So, whenever.we speak of Uncle Sam ;
fighters, let us ever keep in mind the men
who go downin, not to- the sea in ships. And
what a glorious chapter in our history those
men are now writing! How they are whit
ready depleted number of Japanese ships!
The Navy reported Monday that Unit
ed States submarines have sunk IL more
Jap ships, probably sunk another and dam
aged three others in the most powerful blow
yet struck at the enemy's sea power. That
brings the number of Jap ships sunk by our
submersibles to 181 "certainties;'' a good
many "probables" are thought to have
gone to the bottom also.
News that trickles out of Japan over
Radio Tokyo proves that the Japs are far
more concerned over their shipping losses
than they are over any other type of blow
that has been struck at them since they COM
mitted their sneak stab in the back at Pearl
Harbor. Their ships are going down to
Davy Jones' Locker far faster than they can
be replaced, and TOTO and his gang of thugs
are grinding away the buck in their teeth.
How daring are our submarine sailors.
What feats they have performed in the Pa
cific! One of they that had torpedoed Jap
trawler, fought it out, on the surface, at
point-blank range and, finally sped to-
ward the trawler to ram it, but it sank be-
fore the submarine reached it.
Other American undersea raiders have
gone in to the very shores of Japan to sink
Jap ships, and have fought successful sur
face battles with the smaller craft. On one
occasion Jap cargo vessel, proceeding
along the shore of Japan and thanked by
two destroyers, was torpedoed, and the de-
stroyers dashed at the point from which
the torpedo came, and one was sent to the
bottom and the other so badly damaged it
limped away toward the shore
All honor to our. men who go down in
ships to prey on the enemy!
