lation through Congress that will
force an additional II per cent in
crease in food prices and that the end
OF this infationary spiral is not yet
in sight.
We would like to know whether
prices are sacrosanct. We would like
to know whether the Government
means TO place hard and fast ceilings
on food prices or whether the Office
Of Price Administration intends to
continue it's policy of appeasing big
business interests in order to become
popular with profteers. We would like
to know whether Congress is going to
hold that line or whether it is going
to continue to appease the farm bloc
for vote-getting purposes in 1914.
Unless the nation gets the right
answers to these questions, runaway
imitation will no longer be a threat
it will become reality. All prices will
go skyhigh, the dam against wage
increases will break and the Govern
ment ought to stop asking people to
buy bonds.

Union Family Gives
Two Sons To The War

San Francisco, Calf. - The sacri-
fees which labor union families are
making in the war to protect demo-
cratic institutions are poignantiy illu-
strated by the experience here of the
Medley family.
E. j. Medley is president of Boiler
makers Union, Local 6. He and Mrs.
Medley reared two sons to young
manhood. When the war broke out
the two Medley boys, Clayton Lloyd,
21 years, and James Edward, 18
years, enlisted in the Navy. Mr.. Med
ley remained in war production, and
Mrs. Medley kept the home, waiting
for the boys to return. The boys will
not return. One went down with his
ship in the battle Of the Coral Sea,
the other was lost when his ship was
sunk in the Caribbean.

day. 1t is this-are War Bonds or
bonds of any kind good investment
during a period of initiation?
Simple Arithmetic
We don't pretend to be an expert
on financial matters but we do under
stand simple arithmetic and plain
facts. And here are the facts.
Economists for the American Fed
Grafton of Labor report to US that the
American dollar which was worth 100
cents at the beginning of this war is
now worth only rs cents, at con.
servative estimate, as result of the
imitation which already has taken
place.
Should this infationary trend con-
tinue, it is even more conservative to
estimate that the dollar will be re-
duced in value to so cents or less 10
years from now.
Now let's take the other side of the
case. The Government tells US that
for every S75 we invest in War Bonds
1t will pay 500 at the end of 10 years.
Now that sounds like a good invest
ment. But if the facts previously cited
with regard to imitation are true, then
the 500 the Government will pay us
at the end Of 10 years will have pur
chasing power equivalent to only $50
at the beginning of the war. Thus,
unless imitation is halted, investors in
War Bonds will lose $25 on each s75
they have put up instead of gaining
that amount.
This would constitute a dastardly
breach of faith on the part of the
Government toward it's citizens.
Now we don't like to say this. We
are not saying it to foment distrust

But the facts are that price stabili-

'Presenteeisrn' Stressed
ABSENTEEISM TALK
GROSSLY OVERDONE.
SAYS SHIPBUILDER

Portland, Greg (ILNS). Turn the
absenteeism controversy to discus
sion of 'presenteeism," Henry j. Kai-
ser suggests.
"The talk about absenteeism has
been grossly overdone," the famous
shipbuilder told 10000 workers at
the Oregon Shipbuilding Corp, his
No. l yard and the country's biggest
producer of Liberty ships.
Kaiser declared that out of the talk
of absenteeism has come false pic
ture of workers deliberately shirking
their jobs in time Of national peril.
Nothing is farther from the
truth" he said.
''The facts are that in seven ship
yards the presenteeism record was SO
per cent in March with one yard turn
ing out freighter every day."

FACING
THE
FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

Is the Government of the United
States playing fair with the millions
of workers to whom constant appeals
are made to invest their savings in
War Bonds?
The first, faint rumblings of doubt
are beginning to assail US.
We say this as one who from the
beginning has invested more than 10
per cent Of weekly earnings in these
bonds and has urged all other wage
earners to do so. We say it as one
who has certificate signed by Secre-
tary of the Treasury Morgenthau at
testing to our aid in the War Bond
drive.
In these very columns we have re-
peatedly appealed to AFL members
to sign up on the payroll allotment
plan for War Bonds and to put every
spare dollar of savings in these bonds.
We have pointed out that the Govern
ment needs the money to finance the
war program and that no wiser or
more prudent investment could be
made by any citizen.
1t is on the latter point that we are
now beginning to wonder. The ques-
ton is becoming more serious every

Garbage Men Win Increase

recruit men from outside, and Akron
promises housing facilities for out
siders willing to take the jobs. Dal-
