MOVING BACK TO OLD WAYS

The President wants control over
certain immigration and tariffs and
he wants to continue the impracti-
cal methods of the War Labor
Board which is a quasi-judicial
board acting wholly by Executive
power. He wants to renew the
Hull tariff treaties. and the Re-
publicans are opposed to that the
Ory and method of handling tariffs.
The President has authorized
spending land wastel in civilian
affairs. and calling it war costs.
Those are few of the reasons why
Congress will attempt to reclaim its
rights as a legislative body and
run its own business instead of
turning so many unnecessary
things over to the Administration.
The condition does not represent
hostility, or an attempt to repudi-
ate the President. 1t simply is a
condition and a confusion which
should have been anticipated when
so many methods of the Govern
ment were changed.

BETTER PREPARED

At a time when farmers coopera-
tives are being tested to the limit
under the surge of war, it is a good
plan for members to examine the
stuff their organizations are made
of. and how they were built in the
beginning. Cooperatives that have
been built soundly from the indi-
vidual farmer up, and have been
properly manned and managed, are
better prepared to stand the stress
of these turbulent times than the
ordinary business concern. Mem
bers of such cooperatives are for
tunate. Farmers had no such pro-
lection and hope in the other
world war. - Dairymen's League

better service.
You may find that home sewing
is more practical than buying
ready-made clothes this year. If
so, check up on your sewing ma
chine and have necessary repairs
made at once, as repair service is
also limited.
Textile research is years ahead
because of the necessities of the
war program. Fabrics are now be-
ing made rain-proof, fire-proof, and
crease resistant for military uses.
They are being tested for warmth,
tensile strength. and durability. In
future years civilians will have the
benefit of this work.
But that's when the war is over.
Right now farm families are ad-
vised to get the clothing they need
while they can get it.

Allow For More Corn
tcontinued from First Pagel

tContinued from First Page)
grain production in 1912 was the
greatest in our history, and we have
record feed supplies on hand. But
we have an expanding live stock
industry that will call for unpre-
cedented feed supplies. Feed grains
are the basic raw materials from
which our vital live stock products
are produced. That is why we are
moving now to be certain that our
reserves can be maintained.
Delaware farmers who want to
plant more than regular corn al
lotments to help out in meeting
this demand for corn should get
the details Of this plan from their
Triple-A committeeman or county
agent.

FACTS FOR FARMERS

Plenty of water for cows is a
real factor in keeping up milk pro-
duction, for milk is made up OF
about 81 per cent water. And be-
cause so much of cows milk pro-
,duction depends upon having plen-
ty of clean and fresh water often
enough. there's little chance to
place too much emphasis on this
subject. reports A. +. Tomhave,
head of the department of animal
and poultry industry at the Univer-
sity of Delaware.
Experiments have shown that
good cows drinking from water
bowls attached to their stalls will
produce from 315 to 4 per cent
more milk than cows turneed out
twice daily to drink at a trough.
Because many a Delaware dairy
man turns his cows out only twice
a day. there are many cases where
milk production drops when cold
weather comes. Ordinarily. COW
will drink about four pounds of
water for each pound of milk pro-
duced. So. TOmhave says, provide
them with plenty of clean fresh
water as often as possible.
Water for young stock is equally
important. This is oftentimes ne
elected at this time. of the year.
but is necessary if young stock is
to grow and thrive.
The practice of pasturing grain
crops during the winter is of
doubtful economy. states Claude E.
Phillips. forage crop specialist for
the Delaware Agricultural Exten-
sion Service, Unless very care
fully controlled the yield of grain
may be seriously lowered, he says. !
Cattle should not be turned on the
field when the ground is soft, and
should not he left on until growth
s grazed too short.

Union did during the past mu-
nicipal campaign. l suppose you
have been told by others, but
want to say so publicly.
Local IL and all Toledo labor
should be proud of the Toledo

its place in the life of Toledo
in a short time and made re-
markable showing. | think Lo-
cal IL should be congratulated
for having such an effective me-
dunn to reach its own people.
The real test of the paper
will come in 1914, but | am sure
you will meet it as you have
met the test of the past year.
| wish you every success, and
am proud to be a member of a
Union which has paper that
speaks the workers language.

Postwar Planning

I'm spite of the protests of those who
believe there should be no planning at this
time for the postwar period, it is obvious
that both labor and industry are giving in
creasing attention to this consideration
Two wars in the space of % years
should provide sufficient material to make
comparisons and prevent us from making
the same mistakes which we made follow
inc the close of World War /. Our con-
ditions today, while differing in many re-
spects from those which existed in 1918,
are similar i'm many ways to the conditions
which existed then, and could be used in
preventing the same serious dislOcatiOns
which followed the close of World War |.
Most important of all considerations is
mass unemployment due to reconversiOn
of industry to peacetime production. Gov
ernment, national, state and municipal,
should be making plans at this time to
handle the situation which is bound to
arise when this war is over.
Public works which have been side
tracked due to the war, should be planned
and Immediately resumed once industry
ceases to produce the materials of war.
Wage scales must be maintained living
costs held down and initiation prevented.
Labor must have a place in the plan
ming of industry and its recOnversiOn to
normal production. Having proved its
value during the war ON labor manage
ment committees labor can prove as eff
fective in aiding industry in the postwar
era as it has during these critical days.
Mass unemployment and want in the
midst of potential plenty cannot and will
not be tolerated by the workers who have
worked and sacrificed for victory. II will
not be tolerated by the returning service
men who are fighting for the things which
labor is advocating.
This is the time TO plan for the future
Now is the time to chart the course of the
country when the war has ended. We
must have plan and know where we are
going.

FREE RIDES FOR SOLDIERS

n other cities, servicemen ride
free on the street cars, but in
Toledo, nothing doing. 1t gets
my goat to see man in uni
form get on a Community Trac-
ton car or bus and dig for that
lousy eight cents.
OF course, the Traction Co.
says there is a state law which
prevents them from letting the
servicemen ride free, but law
or no law, l still think its lousy
and quite typical of this outfit
which will recognize police or
fire uniform, but charges the
men who are getting ready to
give lives to preserve system
that permits the Community
Traction Co. to continue such
practices.

Political ACtiOn

One Of the most important topics TO
be discussed by the state CIO convention
next week in Columbus is political acuOn'
No subject is more important at thls
fine than the political situation facing
labor. For the past several years, the
peuduIum has been swinging away IRON
labor to reaction, trend which continued
in this months elections in all sections OF
the country, despite determined effort
on the part of labor to stem the tide.
Ohio CIO delegates should face the
facts realistically. They Should not permit
their hopes to delude them into the behef
that they can accomplish anything on the
poIitical front by talking about political
action, when it is a seIf-evident fact that
labor in Ohio has, TO a very considerable
extent failed as miserably as it did in De-
froit. DAYTON, Philadelphia, and other Sec
tions of the country.
with the possible exception of Toledo,
and Cleveland, where labor backed candI-
dates were elected to office i'm this months
elections. Labor in Ohio certainly has
vothing to crow about, fact which should
'mulate the Ohio CIO into determined

Political unity, an important part OF

gardess of their affiliatiOn, into strong
groups with common purpose. good

Toledo and other parts of the state which

Nav primaries when labor win be able to
give some indication of what its power is
going to be i'm 1914. To complete an organ

front, would be the greatest contribution
the state CIO convention could make to the
CIO and all labor in Ohio in the coming

AN OPEN LETTER TO

so much to compliment you, as
because my dogs character is

In other cities, servicemen ride

so much to compliment you, but
in the public prints.
My dog is a barking dog. He
disturbs the peace and harmony
of my neighborhood. TIE talks
a good fight but has never been
known to bite human being
or a dog of his own size. From
this | take it he is a cowardly
bully and buffer. He often en-
barrasses me by threatening to
attack my friends, showing he
is stupid. He isn't aware of the
fact that there is great war
going on and that even good
dogs worth their salt are taking
part in it. SO he insists, on con-
Quoting a private war in our
neighborhood. Worst of all he
has no chivalry. He takes par
ticuIar delight in Frightening
women by threatening to bite
them. | have in mind the incest
women in our neighborhood. He
never fails to exhibit his vicious
ness toward her.
sometimes feed stray and
friendless dogs, and although
fed to repletion himself, he al
ways vociferously objects to
this. He befouls everything.
Most everybody in the neigh
borhood hates him. Also | am
hated because l keep him. 1t has
come to my ears that several
persons have threatened to shoot
him. | do not very much care
if they do.

1t is now apparent that a concerted drive Is
being made by the labor unions to break the little
steel formula and have it revised upward. This will
be of considerable value, provided the difference
between what will be allowed under the formula
and the actual rise in the cost OF living, is COM
pensated for by price rollback to equalIze wages
and prices.
To merely grant additional increases to the
workers, up to 10 per cent, without putting an
effective ceiling on costs would be of no value
whatever. it would merely be the beginning of a
vicious upward spiral which would surely lead to
initiation.
Before we can have any confidence that wage
increase of 10 per cent would be actual increase
and not be eaten up by 10 or ~ per cent rise IN
food or other consumer costs, we should have some
definite guarantee that there will be an effective
ceiling placed over these costs otherwise we are
merely grabbing at something which, in the long
run, will prove of no value to the workers.
EQUALITY
If we could get 10 per cent increase to COM
pensate us for the increased cost of living which
has come about despite price ceilings, and then
have the costs rolled back another 20 per cent. we
would only then achieve measure of equality'
Chances of this being done seem remote
at this time, yet we must see something like this
take place before there can be any true economic
stabilization This is the one thing for which or
ganized labor must fight and which it must de-
mand and secure before any real economic stabili-
zation can become reality and before the workers
will be treated justly
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1943-11-19

everything mas Deen done thaI
could be done to stabilize their
wages, while prices and profits
have continued to soal despite
all that has been said would be
done to put a ceiling over them.
Initiation is the reason given
for freezing the wages of the
workers, an excuse with which
the workers heartily agree, pro-
viding the excuse is not used,
as it has been used, to work in
justice upon a large section of
the people.

and in maintaining it, if possi-
BILE, forever. Yet, it seems to me
that there are some elementary
facts which must not be over
looked in our peace plans re-
gardless of what our particular
interests may be.
One thing is certain, there
will be no peace unless the
workers of the world are given
a larger share of the things
which they produce, and more
security than they have been
able to procure in the past.
