Mary Anderson Luuds
Work Of Women On
The Home Front

Washington, ID. c. ULNS) Labor
Day, 1913, marked the climax of Il
women's "industrial revolution in the
American economic structure said
Miss Mary Anderson, director of the
WOmen's Bureau of the United States
Department of Labor, i'm special
Labor Day statement.
In paying tribute to the II million
women now working in war produc-
tion and civilian industry, Miss Ander-
son said. This is Il big sacrifice for
them. Communities must increase their
efforts to tighten this load by provid-
ing adequate civilian services such as
laundries, restaurants, child care
centers and transportation.
"On this Labor Day | think we may
all dp well to give a round of applause
to the women who work in these Serv-
ice industries for rewards which will
never match those of the more CLAM
orous war production jobs. They are
truly the good and faithful servants
on the home front

this same question was brought to
wage conferences, that it was the EN-
ployees health that they were trying to
safeguard by introducing a physical
examination. If the same parties would
lend their efforts in correcting dust
hazards in the plants | am sure it
would mean more in protecting the
lives of their employees than the
present doctors certificate.
We hear lot of speeches lately
from some politicians about the dig
nifty of labor, while they actually work
for and vote against the interests of
the common working people.
Take for example the conflicting
figures being given out by certain sec
tions of the press, and those being
broadcast by the Manufacturers Asso-
citation over the radio. Anyone who has
taken the trouble to keep tag on the
rising costs of living as against in
creases in wages granted since 1899,
know this propaganda is a highly
exaggerated falsehood. The latest
executive order coming from Presi-
dent Roosevelt is surely drastic-O
compulsory arbitration: (2) must
abide by the War Labor Board deci-
sion; and (3) if you do not comply
subject to government inspired
blacklist. Surely we must be on our
toes and alert if the advances gained
during the last fifty years are not to
be swept away under the high sound
ing mottos adopted by many state
legislatures and incorporated into law
to render labor unions imperative and
hamstring them to the point of en-
slavement of the men and women who
nave to work.

Administrator Sees
Danger In Scoring
Real Estate Prices
Rising Prices Run Counter
To Governments Anti
1nfldtiondrY Policies

Washington, ID. G. ULNS).-1nflated
real estate prices, caused by wartime
conditions in many industrial areas,
represent dangerous trend and should
be guarded against in the interest Of
property owners, hOmefinancing insti-
tutions and communities, National
Housing Administrator John B. Bland
ford, Jr., declared here.
He urged that prospective home
buyers, especially in congested war
industry centers, pay only fair mar
ket prices for properties now on the
market He added that while the stu
alton is "spotty' and prices are still
realistic in many communities, reports
on current real estate transactions and
observations by real estate brokers
and lending institutions leave no doubt
that an incipient real estate boom is
in the making in some sections.
"Rising prices for residential real
estate run directly counter to the gov
ernments anti-inflationary policies and
contain the seeds of future sharp de,
tiation, with the threat of many fore
|
closures, loss of homes by the home
owning public, loss of investments by
lending institutions, and heavier obi
cations for the Federal Government,
BlandfOrd declared.
Since no one stands to gain per
menently by imitation in real estate
prices, the situation calls for close co
operation by the home-buying public
lending institutions, real estate brokers
and the government to prevent uncon
troled bidding-up of prices for existing
housing.
BIandford was joined in his state
ment by Commissioner Abncr ii. Fer
gllson, Federal Home Loan Bank Ad
miniStratiOn, the two operating units
of the MIA which are directly con
cerncd with the home financing field.

WHERE DO We
STAND?
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Victory has it's jackals no less than
defeat Already the Spolsmen are out
seeking advantages for their side, for
their men. They are playing up their
own cause by playing down their op-
ponent's and are talking in large terms
of what they have already done and
what they would dO-and of what they
would have done. They are proclaim
ing the merits of those whom they
want to put into power and, If one be-
lieved all the talk, one would be
amazed at the number of white-souled
paladins fighting black hearted traitors
today.
OF course, some of the paladins are
far too busy talking to fight the
enemy. But their partisans are declaim-
ing that they and they alone could end
the war and bring peace to troubled
earth. These spoilsmen believe that the
| democracies are easy and that if we
could be sold on the idea of their pet
hero. we would see to it that the gov
ernment of their own particular acre
of Europe be handed over to them to
rule.
Let us make one thing clear now and
forevermore We aren't minding other
peoples business but we have found
out that we cannot live free in slave
world. Therefore we intend to set the
people of Europe free-nOt give them
new masters. We believe in freedom
for others as well as for ourselves. We
don't let outsiders decide our elections
and we aren't putting in our oar to
tell other nations whom they shall
choose
What we want for other nations is
the same thing we want for ourselves
"A sane, stable government of the
people and for the people; guaranteed
freedom for i'll under the law; no dis

fear of aggression and from secret

creed.
What we want for ourselves we
want for all, but we do not dictate
methods or rulers. OF course, as fre'
speakers, we are free TO take sides az
individuals. But, asa nation, we shall
not recognize any government that i
not freely chosen under the laws of it

rights of those within the Federation"
Expressing hope that Il way would
be found to bring about greater labor
unity, Mr.. Tobin said that the first
step in that direction would be the re-
utilization of the miners union - of
course on terms fair to the others in
voved and based on the laws of the
A.F.L.'
I'VE are of the opinion that other
unions now outside the federation
would follow the United Mine Work
crS," Mr.. Tobin concludes. "The
United Mine Workers took many other
unions with them when they left the
federation. We think they can help
to bring them back
This final reference was taken tO
