CHEAP TALK CAN BE COSTLY

When the morale on the homie front is affected, the
war Of propagand can be as deadly as the war Of
bullets. Axis agents are seeking to divide all groups
within the United nations by planting malicious ru-
mors. Don't let Hitler fool you! When you hear a
rumor, do one Of two things: % Ignore it. (2) Re
port it to the police department, Do not pass it a.
bout on the street or to your ~neighbor or fellow
worker. That's what TOTO wants. A molehil[sized
rumor can reach mountainous proportions in quick
order and block the war effort. Loose talk can keep

Check-Off Is
Legitimate Aim
Of Mufure Union

WASHINGTON (FP) = "The
check-off is a legitimate aim Of a
self-respecting union developing
toward maturity" it is declared
in an opinion released by the Natl.
War Labor Board Oct. 5.
The opinion is that of Chairman
William E. Simkin Of the WLB's
Shipbuilding Commission, and out
lines the basis for its Sept. 29 de-
cision on the dispute between the
Industrial Union of Marine & Ship
building Workers (CIO) and the
New York Shipbuilding Corp, of
Camden, n. j.
Simkin also said the cost of the
check-off to company is not a
serious burden when compared with
the potential advantages which
may be gained by such a system" /"
The company was ordered to check
off a SOC monthly deduction to be
contributed to war relief, as re-
quested by the union after mem
bership vote, in addition to monthly
dues.
Labor members dissented from

I'VE expect the six-day week to
be restored temporarily in a few
weeks it was said at Windsor

pledges are made the work week

Win Fight
TO Modify
Labor Droff

DETROIT (FP)-The shadow of
labor conscription-in which work
ers will be under compulsion to
work for the war profiteers, was
lifted slightly in Detroit the past
week when union protests at the
preliminary step won hearing
from the War Manpower Commits
sion.
The main feature of the plan is
to forbid employers to hire any
men except through the U. S. en-
ployment service. Men referred TO
such employers, on basis of en-
ployer need under government pri-
critics, would not at first be COM
PEELED to take the first job to which
they are directed, but it would be
made pretty hard to refuse all
down the line if they wanted en-
ployment. Women were, however,
to be hired direct.
The CIO strongly protested on
the ground that employers would
begin firing men in order to hire
women, with consequent weakening
Of the union because most of the
women would not be union mem
bers to begin with and because the
men to be fired would of course be
mostly the militant members of the
union.
The point was tentatively won by
the unions, who were told that
women would be hired through the
USES also, Other points still to be
won are a guaranteed 40-hour week
on the new jobs, safeguards against
labor boarding by employers (now
widespread in cost-plus depart
ments), labor representation on all
labor priorities committees, re-
stricted firing rights of employers
split shifts Of four hours to attract
people with other duties to war
work, and emphasis on employing
women, especially Negro women.

Farmers Buying
Power Up 1870

WASHINGTON (FP)-The De-
partment Of Agriculture's monthly
agricultural Prices, released Oct.
s, says that the mid-September in
dex of prices received by farmers
for farm products was unchanged
from that of mid-August-193fo Of
the 1909-14 average.
With prices the farmers paid,
plus interest and taxes, all of which
are figured in estimating parity,
remaining at 1860 over the base
years average, the parity ration
stood at 17fo. In other words, the
farmer today has 178o more pur-
chasing power than he had in the
years 1909-14. Those years are
picked because of his favorable po-
sition in relation to the national
income.

Employers Study
Women Factory
Workers

DETROIT (FP)-The Automo-
tive Council for War Production, an
employer organization, formally
announces in its September journal,
Automotive War Production, that
woman isn't just smaller man Z.
It reports that the discovery has
had a profound effect on produc-
ton engineers in the automotive in
dustry's war plants.
About three times as many wom-
en- are now working in the industry
as in peacetime.
Production engineers found out
that a woman has shorter arm
reach. (which, combined with her
shorter average stature, necessl-
tates lower work benches with mar
rover tops" the engineers pro
claim.
Compensation in production pro
cesses must be made" it is further
stated, "for the fact that the aver
age woman is only $50 muscle IN
comparison to the average mans S
41Ts. Moreover, industrial studies
have shown that only $40 of
woman's weight is strength, against
mans S7Fo, and that the hand
squeeze of the average woman ex-
erts only as pounds of pressure,
against mans 81 pounds"
Pondering these discoveries the
production engineers have added
more conveyors, hoists and load
lifters, revolving jigs for riveters
and more safety devices.
Women, it was found, invariably
excel men in the tasks requiring
exceptional manual dexterity or
concentrated attention upon me-
ticulous details. One woman has
been taken on as plant doctor. A
number, trained for the job by
learning shooting and jiuiitsu, are
in the plant protection force, the
journal reports.
