think. then act, this should be the aim
of our nations representative bodies.
When President Roosevelt imposed
Il limitation of $3.50 on net incomes
these would-be patriots rushed to the
rescue of the high salaried officials
and by order revoked the limitations,
and at the same time endorsed Il tax
on the working man which starts at
5000 per week. Is this justice in time
of war, or even in peace?
Who are the individuals who have
benefited most by this so-called
democracy? Is it the working man or
the high salaried officials. 1t isn't that
the amount of tax money that might
have been collected from the very
rich by placing il $4,000 ceiling on
their wages, after taxes, is important.
But it is most important that all
Americans carry their share of bur
den in this war and not just the labor
ing men and women on the home front
who seem to be the most abused class
i'm the United States today.
Labor is willing to cooperate with
the government in any way they ear
| to bring to an end this terrible con
nict that confrontS all nations today
We are all buying bonds at ten pen
cent of our wages, besides assuming
heavy sacrifices in order to promote
the war effort.
With wages frozen at the present
levels and prices soaring to Il recort
high, how long will we be able to con
tinue to produce the weapons of wal
if it is impossible for workers to meet
the rising cost of living.
Certainly our protests are justified
in this ridiculous situation. If freez
ing is necessary to gain victory, theI

frozen, not labor alone. Don't squeeze
the workers to level below STANDARD
in order that our capitalists may oh

Whereas, when we analyZe the
above facts and the fact that on 80
per cent of imports which duty is-ap-
piled, it is applied according to the

Senor Ibanez suggests in his article
that inter American solidarity Ought

Statement Questioning His

Washington. - Asserting that price

ization, and Prentiss Nj. Brown, Price
Administrator, against Mr.. Browns
recent statement questioning his power
to require such labelling
They embodied their protest in a
letter to the Price Administrator,
copies of which were sent to the Presi-
dent and Mr.. Byrnes. They asked Mr..
Roosevelt to make explicit his earlier
price stabilization orders by issuing a
clarifying order requiring grade label
ing of the 1943 pack of fruits and
vegetables and of other production for
which grades have been or can be de-
velOped.
In their letter they said that in
questioning his authority to require
grade labelling the Price Administrator
was doubling his authority to enforce
price control itself. They declared that
"were each administrative agency tC

BY A. POTTER

Damon Runyon, noted columnist, In
a recent article came to the defense of
the much abused war worker. He
points out that the shortcomings of a
few have been ma agnified to the point
where many people believe that the
ma jority of workers are just bunch
of loafers and trouble-makers. He
states that "absenteeism" has been
exaggerated into an evil far beyond
fact that Servicemen get furlOughS,
but when a war worker gets tired or
sick and needs little rest he is
Immediately berated as a wrong-doer.
He also asks that postwar provisions
be made for the war worker as well
as the soldier, since the war workers
are just as surely soldiers in this war
as the man in the front lines.
&
We wonder if Eddie Rickenbacker
read the statement by Under Secretary
Patterson that Production of war
equipment by American industry in
January this year was three and one
half times the rate for January, 1912. y
If he did, you can bet your last two
cents he will not mention it in any OF
his speeches.
Close reading of many newspapers
fail to reveal but very little about
that defective steel plate scandal in
volving one of our big steel companies
And how about the Indictment of sev
eral Anaconda Copper plants for fur
nishing defective wire to signal corps
of the United States Army? Also the
United States Cartridge Company OF
St Louis for sending defective ammu
milton to soldiers at the front. Per

My favorite book is "Lassie
Come Home" 1t is a very inter-
esting story of a dog named Las
sic.
Lassie first belonged to little
10y, and then was sold to a man
who took her to Scotland. This
man did not treat her as kindly
as the little boy did, so she ran
away, and returned to England.
In returning she had to cross a
wilderness, meet dogs, fight them,
and go without food and water for
long time.
She searched until she found
her little master in a schoolroom.
The boy was surprised but glad to
see her and was allowed to keep
her.
