Utility Strikers Told

"You can't use the technique. oil

lie Member Wayne l.. Morse, who
presided at public hearing to
which the union members were sum-

Mr.. Morse interpreted a telegram

threatening the board with the con-
tinuation and a spread of the strike
unless it ordered Myles Frantz rein

You can't use the technique of the

considered by some unions as pat

not countenance that pattern. Gov

Two Others Second Remarks.
Mr., Morse's remarks were second

member of the board
Mr.. Straub replied that there was
no issue of defiance of the board by
the union and suggested that er-
roneous reports had reached the
board. He said the local situation
at Lansford and Pine Grove was
out of hand and he was reporting
facts. not attempting to threaten
the Government. Our policy has
been to advise the Government

SHORTAGE IS SEEN
IN CANNED FOODS
Indiana Scion Predicts
Alarming Situation;
Flags OPA Methods

WASHINGTON, June 13.-lR-
Urging transfer Of food control 10
the Department of Agriculture,
Rep. Lands of Indiana, asserted
today there may be no canned
goods for civilians next winter
unless administration methods
are changed.
Lands is chairman of a Repub-
1ican congressional food study SUBJ
committee.
Gamers, he said, are unable to
obtain workers because OF price
ceilings ard wage controls and
'ehave received scant sympathy
and consideration from the gov
ernment agencies concerned.
''The ultimate result" his state
ment continued, Twill be that veg
etables and fruits they are to can
under present restrictions will
hardly suffice for the armed serv-
ices and lend-lease. The civilian
population will be forced to do
without and much of the 1943 pack
will rot on the field for want OF
pickers.
Lands added that unless pend
ing legislation to transfer food
functions from the Office of Price
Administration to the Agriculture
Department is enacted "the con-
suner is going to have to do much
belt Tightening next winter and
the following summer
He asserted that Gamers who
appeared before the committee
"painted an alarming picture
They predict that many in the in
dustry will be compelled to go ou'
of business for the wars duration
Others, with sons in the service
are trying to carry on as a pa
triotic duty, despite the fact thai
they are losing money daily.
Lands also asserted that hopes
of owners of 21,000,000 victory
gardens that they would be able
to can their own winters food sup
ply "fade before the great Wash
ington bureaucracy
"Home-g grown vegetables ano
fruits, unless they are of the aclo
variety" he said, cannot be sale
ly canned without the use of pres
sure cookers. Recognizing this, the
government authorized the manu-
facture of 100000 of these cook
ers. So far this year, only 21,OO(
of that number have been manu-
factured. And so, many OF the
people have been hum-buggeo
again by the New Deal.
eff the Administrations smar
boys would devote more time IL
attempting at least a partial solu
ton of the grave food problem
instead of trying to promote theil
own pet theories, such as grade
labelling, there would be more
food and less foolishness in Amer
ica."
