A WARNING TO WORKERS

WHATS GOING to happen after this war is
" over? Is there going to be slump in employ
ment? Will industry be able to change over quick
ly to a peacetime economy? These and other
similar questions are being asked by intelligent
workers on this coast, especially by those who
witnessed the terrific etdoWn after the last war
THE big industrialists are going to keep right on
eatlng for they are making tremendous profits
|Only labor has been frozen to a ridculously low
wage level. Rising prices have put the worker to
ia great disadvantage.
Well, this is what Major General Philip Flenl-
ling, Federal Works administrator, said in New
York the other day:
"Our economist predicts that Immediately
latter the about 5000, 900 workers will have to
lbe discharged from such industries as aircraft
production shipbudng and machine building
Another group Of industries, now under the wraps
of wartime control, will probably add an addi-
tiOnal 100000 workers, leaving a net loss in
manufacturing Of 100000.
"In addition, it would seem that transportation
will have to discharge about 100 workers. Two
million will lose their jobs in government service
joicng on the part of the taxpayers. Assuming
100000 men in the armed forces, this econo-
mist thinks that perhaps 100000 will be dis
charged at once, leaving 100000 under arms
somewhat longer for police duty in various parts
|of the world"
Not pretty picture is it? But it is warning
and there is something we can do about it, We
can keep buying War Bonds and we can hold
these bonds We won't be rich, but we will have
saved up for the lean days when peace
comes. Better have a few bonds than a stack of
silk shirts; ask the fellow who went through
World War One

LABOR VIEW PREVAILING?

Tl1E PRESSURE to build up the military forces
as fast as possible has been relaxed somewhat
it is reported. Evidently the Army and Navy
heads, who few months ago were hell bent or
getting into uniform every man who could stanc
up have changed their minds, at least tempor-
arily
1t is explained that partly responsible for the
easing Of military services demands for men is
the fact that casualties since April have faller
below Army estimates. But there may be Other
reasons. Perhaps the military chiefs are beginning
to realize that they were aiming too high, as
pointed out months ago by the American Fedora
ton Of Labor
Early in March, President Green of the AFI
declared his organizations intention to oppose
"any unreasonable plan to strip industry Of skilled
workers to build up an excessively large Army"
He urged that balance be kept between the
military services and the working force at home
and warned that if too many men were rushed
into the Army production was bound to suffer
which he added 'would be fatal"
"Ihe size of the Army Of the United States,
Green said, should not be measured by the size
Of the army III Germany Russia, or Great Bri
tain Our job is greatly different from any OF
these. We are not only fighting but producing
We are the arsenal of demOcracy.'
If the L. S. military leaders are beginning t,
take a view in harmony with that of ORGANIZED
labor on the question of the size of the military
forces, a victory for reason and intelligence has
been won.

THE GREAT "SPUD" MYSTERY
NOT so LONG AGO there disappeared fl

MOT so LONG AGO there disappeared from the
tables of the American people a lowly vege:
table upon which through the years they had
come to rely as staple food The circumstances
of this disappearance were somewhat mystlfylng
Such Thing had never happened before We were
told terrible shortage of potatoes had developed
Some blamed cold weather for delaying the early
crop. Others insisted that the vanishing spuds
had been abducted by spectators anxious to drive
the market price up.
Whatever the facts were, there is no doubt
that the price of potatoes did go up There is no
doubt that spuds ~Were bootlegged. The corner
groceryman dished them up from behind the
counter with great deal of ''hush-hush' and at
"a frantic cost. The lowy spud became rarity
and treat
Now, suddenly, we are informed that a tre-
mendous surplus of potatoes has developed The
War Food Administration sends us an urgent
appeal to eat potatoes now. We are told OF a
bumper crop of early potatoes which are perish
able. "These early potatoes" says the release
won't keep-they must be consumed OF wasted
its now or never.
One would expect that such an overwhelming
surplus Of spuds would drive down the price and
make potatoes an attractive buy for hOusekeepers
who have to spread their pennies thin these days
Perish the thought! In the same dispatch from
New York which tells of 15-million bushel
potato crop on Long Island, there appears a SEN
tence to the effect that the War Food Admins
tration is buying heavily "to keep up the price"
In the name of all that's reasonable-WHY?
If there is an actual surplus of potatoes now
which we don't doubt-why should we have to
pay an inflated price of cents pound for them
lin the retail stores
It's things like this that disgust the American
people and make them wonder whether the people
who are running our domestic economy on the
home front know what it's all about.

MINE WORKERS NEXPLOITED
BY OPERATORS SHOPKEEPERS

WilliamSport, Pa. ULNS). Miners
have contended that it takes all they
can earn to live. The public generally
doubted that statement. Along comes
John Faith, small town New Jersey,
business man, now an OPA industrial
agent and inspector to support the
miners claims.
Faith, who comes from Mllville, New
Jersey found a number of instances
of almost outright eXtortion.
For instance, cotton suit that cost
the store at most $3.50 was marked
at S:522.5 a bedroom suite was priced
at S299.5O and Il small sign ON the in
side of a drawer had the price S249.50.
Shoes marked $9.95 on the box We're
marked $3.50 on the soleS of the shoes.
badly deteriorated from age, and
quality of many articles was far be
low that found in competitive stores,
he said.
II can't understand" he told store
men, why a store doing 100000 Il
year and better has to buy any mer-
chandiSe from jobber and be saddled
with jobber markup which the con
sumer, of course, absorbs. In fact all
industrial stores l know of can buy
direct and pass on the savings to their
customers"
Faith also declared that company
store expenses are lower than other
businesses because they have no com
petition, don't advertise don't go in
for sales promotion or have the eN-
penses Of window displays and other
essential needs of selling merchandise
employed by similar stores in competi-
tive areas"

ONE AMONG MANY

III
N1 manifestIy written by boys over there CON
deming John l.. Lewis as a traitor for calling
several coal strikes. Since the boys apparently
are so well informed on this subject, it leads
one to wonder if they also know Of the thou
sands of tons of faulty steel that have been
supplied to our shipyards throughout the coun-
try; one wonders if the boys know OF the hun
dreds of thousands of faulty castings and parts
for aircraft engines which have been supplied
to our factories in many parts of the country;
one wonders if the boys know of the millions
of dollars worth Of faulty communication wire
which was shipped to Russia; one wonders if
the boys know that this Country, according to
report, has more millions of cattle, hogs and
sheep on foot at this date than it had on the
same date i'm 1912; one wonders if the boys
know of the Black Market that has spread all
over the country in the packing industry, max
ing it impossible for the workers OF the Nation
to get the requisite amount of meat necessary
for strength and health so that they may keep
up the high maximum of production of which
the boys there are so greatly in need in
order to win this global War; one wonders if
the boys know of the Truman Committees
claims, that is, that the committee charges
Curtis Wright with waste of money, fOstered
widespread lOaing OF employees, the delivery
of defective aircraft engines from the LOckland
Plant which is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Curtis-Wright.
When the boys learn the true facts we won
der what class they will brand as traitors.
Come on America! BE fair with the boys,
and give them the true picture of the conditions
on the home front.
