more to those who already have a
lot and take away from those
who barely have enough to ex-
list.
Desire for an income larger
than $4,000 a year while most
people receive less than $500 a
year comes from selfishness and
greed. There is no hope that greed
can be eliminated, so we suggest a
way to harness 1t to the good of
all.
Why not have a tax measure
which would take everything in
excess of a sum rs times the an
nual income of all the people in
the country who work? For ex-
ample, if $1,000 a year is the aver
age (the exact figure can accu-
rately be determined) let us have
a tax measure which would per-
NIT any one person to keep rs
times the average annual income
of everybody?
The $4,000 income would there
fore be flexible upward. The
greedy people who want more
than $4,000 a year would be mo-
tivated to increase the average an
nual income of everybody to $4,000
a year so they could have $4,000
a year.
Such arrangements would not
take away the incentive Of a per-
son to strive for a salary larger
than $25,OOO a year. He would
only be required to follow those
policies that would raise the in
come of all who work, in order
to get more for himself. This would
be a method for tying personal
selfishness to the good of the
whole people.
Members of Congress are making
themselves pretty unpopular by
trying now to get raises for those
who have $4,000 a year at the
same time they r trying to take
away the Wage-Hour floor of SIG
a week for working people.
Perhaps you would like to take
a second thought on this matter
of inequitable distribution of in
come, and do something which is
good for everybody instead of TAX
ing an action which is for the ad-
vantage of the few at the expense
of the many.

member of every Local to remem-
Der a mar whom we gave I'll sup
port for State Senator. His name
is JOSEPH I. ROSS!
Now JOE is, or shall we say,
WAS, a nice boy, and we gave
him a recommendation and a large
number of votes. We helped him
to be elected, and now we have
been repaid, repaid in headaches!
One of the first acts of Joe
(bite the hand that feeds you)
Ross, was to introduce a bill (126)
that would force women to work
some fifty-four hours a week.
That's gratitude, Joe! A man who
would do q trick such as you have,
could never be trusted around
little chickens. He might push
them i'm the water when the hen
wasn't looking!
I Other columns in this paper
give Ross his just and due e
ward in a more serious vein, as
BELTS his crime, and we really
do take the matter to heart, but
we feel that a little ridicule will
help to reduce his ego. It seems
that once upon a time there was
another great betrayer, his name
was Judas Iscariot! By a strange
coincidence, Joe's first two mi
tails are J. l., and we pass the in
formation on for what it may be
worth!
Business Strikes
Radio commentators and news
paper columnists and writer's have
been so busy denouncing an &C.
casional strike in industry that
they have entirely overlooked far
more serious strikes by Big Bust
ness. Here they are and try and
remember if you saw black head
lines in your daily papers.

not accept contracts until laws
limiting their profits had been e
pealed and they were given their
way with tax legislation.

hold supplies from New York, Chi
cago and other large cities unless
the price to consumers was in
creased. (You are now paying more

3. Remember a month OF two
when the packers and Gamers e
fused to make shipments into
large sections of the country. The
OPA granted three price hikes be-
fore it broke the deadlock.
a. Soup manufacturers held
their products off the market I'm
til permitted to raise prices about
30 per cent.
5. A week or two ago the Mil
ling Trust forced through a 10
per cent increase in the price of
flour by threatening a sitdown
strike. Now baking interests are
attempting to apply the same kind
of coercion.
6. Several months ago the Tex
tile industry went ON strike and
refused to supply materials even
to the armed forces unless prices.
were increased and they mere
given permission to cheaper the
quality of their products.
A lot of criticism reaches us
about the attempt by Congress to.
increase the salaries of wealthy
people and to reduce the income
for working people through repeal
of the Wage-Hour law.

S MORNING STAR
TO BE LAUNCHED
New CO Will Be Chri.ten-
ed By Mrs. R. A. Carter
Monday Afternoon

The S. s. Morning Star, 134th
vessel to near completion at the
yard of the North Carolina Ship
building company, will be launch
ed Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock
under the sponsorship of Mrs. R.
A. Carter, Of Newport News. Va,
wife of the yards Boiler and
Blacksmith department foreman.
Her attendants will be Mrs. c.
B. Maynard, of Wilmington, and
Mrs. Hubert Carter, Of Newport
News.
Like all CO type freighters now
being built here, the S. S. Morn
ing Star is named for an out
standing American clipper. The
original Morning Star, of 1105
tons, was launched on October
4, 1858. She was of fine model
and heavily spared. Her owners
were T. B. Waters and Company.
One of her best runs was from
Boston to New Orleans and on to
Liverpool and Boston in 102 days.
In 1857 she was 90 days from Cal
lao to Havre. While at Cauao,
ready to sail for Havre, the ship
being gotten under way, the mate
was stabbed by one of the crew,
the remainder of them drawing
knives and pistols. The mutiny
was finally quelled by an armed
force from H. B. M. ship Mon
arch.
Captains William L. and Nathan
F. Foster were successfully in
command until she was sold at
London for $500 pounds sterling
and became the British ship
Landsborough.
