WAR DEPARTMENT
IS SAVING FUNDS
Over Is Billions Left
Over From Ire
mendous Budget

WASHINGTON, Nov. 49, R-
Representative Snyder ID. Pa.)
told the House today that the War
department had saved $13, 1863, 519,-
900 from the $127, 1000, 900, 900 pro-
v;ded the Army to date for prose-
cution of the war.
Snyder, who is chairman of the
military expenditures, said this
Appropriations subcommittee on
amount would be turned back to
the Treasury at the end of the
fiscal year. A part of the saving,
he said, would be accomplished
by reducing the manpower goal
of the Army. It had been plan
ned, he said, to build up an army
Of 100000 officers and men. but
this goal will be reduced by 548.-
OO0..
"We were assured" Snyder
said, chat in the light of condi-
tons presently obtaining, this vast
amount can be given up without
in the least impairing the war eff
fort of ourselves or of our Allies.
and without in the least impeding
the expeditions and vigorous pros
ecution of the war;
He pointed out that the amount
is equal to approximately SO per
cent of the estimated $3S, 600, 000,-
COG Treasury receipts from all
sources during the current fiscal
year. He cautioned, however, 1T

the need to raise additional rev.

the enemy fighter, too, who shoots
down our bombers that are shot
down. The complete answer to any
threat in the air is the fighter, if
you can get the fighter.
"And it should be obvious to
anyone who has been reading the
news that we are getting the long
range fighters we need in Eu-
rope"
In all the operations of the
Eighth Air Force out of Britain,
weather over the target is the
only obstacle that has ever pre-
vented completion of a bombing
mission. On some occasions, bonn
bers which found their primary
targets obscured have gone after
secondary target of opportuni-
ty" where the weather was clear.
On other occasions, unable to find
even a target of opportunity, they
have jettisoned their bombs in the
channel, or brought them back to
their bases.
But no formation of American
daylight heavy bombers, whether
or not it had fighter escort, has
ever abandoned it's attack because
Of interrogation by enemy fighters.
And while the aerial rocket bombs
used by the Germans have contri-
Euted to American bomber losses,
it is the enemy single-engine fight
er, using guns, which shoots them
down.
AS explained by air experts, the
German tactics, in use for several
and deadliest so far dur
ing the great attack on Schwein-
iurt, is first a frontal attack by
fighters in an effort to shoot down
or defect the lead bomber in order
TO break up the formation, then
'hombing'' with rockets to damage
the planes-as flax would damage

Pending the appointment of an ofl-

the writer has taken the liberty to
send Il letter to the Herald, informing
the membership throughout the trade
that Local l3S is still functiOning and
doing business at the same old stand,
Room No. ., brotherhood hall, on the
first and third Thursday of each
month.
Our attendance has been fairly good
at our meetings, but like other locals
we have some who cannot find time to
attend. In order to stir up little
enthusiasm and endeavOr to increase
our attendance, it was suggested at our
last meeting that Il party would be
the proper solution.
At our next meeting ON February 4,
arrangements will be made and the
date set. If you have any suggestions
along this line to offer, come out to
the meeting and lend your help.
Election of officers was held and the
following were named to lead us for

Gov. Dewey Backs Ldbor's Rights
In Message To N. Y. Legislature

Albany, n. Y.-The Importance of
guarding the rights of labor was en-
phasized by Governor Thomas f.
Dewey in his first message to the New
York State Legislature. Stressing the
curtailment of some of these rights as
a war measure, he declared they must
be entirely restored when the war
emergency has passed. Governor
Dewey said:
I'm planning for the future we must
make sure that we are preserving the
rights of labor in accordance with the
Constitution and the laws of the State
Of New York.
"Organized labor faces a difficult
crisis in our country today. In large
measure the functions of free collec-
tive bargaining have been superseded
by regulations governing hours, wages.
and conditions of employment, promul-
gated by the Federal Government. In
total war this is probably inevitable.
But it calls for the closest vigilance.
For the time being labor unions are
finding their whole purpose virtually
regulated out of existence. The process

Deduction

Trenton, N. Ut is surprising how
many things come up for discussion
at the local each week and last Fri
day was no exception for No. 45.
Vice President thinner reported a
meeting of the Conference Committee
with Mr.. Bentley, Mr.. Rhoads and Mr..
Phillips last Monday. The main sub
ject was overtime pay and it was
finally decided that deductions would
be made after the hourly rate was
computed, instead of before, as has
been done recently.
When the Local agreed that our
members be required to work forty
eight hours to get eight hours over
time, they decided that any member
not doing so, would be dOcked for the
time under fortyeight hours at an
average hourly rate, instead of all
overtime being figured at the hourly
rate which makes quite a difference.
We believe this was the thought of
the firms representatives, only to
penalize those who were not willing to
put in eight hours each day, instead
of all being penalized about ten per

we are witnessing with our own eyes,
here at home, demonstrates the funda-
mental truth that there is no place
for genuine collective bargaining in a
regulated economy. That is true be-
cause collective bargaining is a right
of free labor and there can be no free
labor except in a free economy. 1t will
take vigilance and understanding to
make certain that the wartime change
in the relations of government to
organized labor is not carried over
into peace.
The hard-wOn rights of labor which
have been abridged by wartime con-
trolls are as fundamental as freedom
of speech and freedom of the press.
Like these other rights, they must be
restored intact to people who have
temporarily sacrificed them in the
cause of freedom.
1--WE can only be assured of this IT
we make certain that the regimented
economy of war is succeeded by a
peacetime economy of freedom under
law. Our State has a great response

Investigation Of
Tariff Laws Urged
By Pottery Head
Custom Duties On Edrthen-
ware And China Higher
Than Average

A hope that congress can be per-
suaded to ask the tariff commission to
investigate present tariffs was eX-
pressed in an address before Junior
Chamber of Commerce Bosses Night
meeting by Malcolm w. Thompson,
secretary treasurer of the Hall China
Co.
Mr.. Thompson, speaking to a group
of about 80 business and professional
men asserted that ''in the last few
years protective tariffs have lost their
meaning to a good many people and
have become trade barriers instead
''rhis idea has been fostered," he
said, ''by all the internationalists and
New Deal economists. They have
preached and propagandized the idea
that all trade barriers should be
eliminated and have stated time and
again that the high tariff wall that
surrounds the United States is respons-
ible for most of the ills of the world
Mr.. Thompson labeled as untrue
statements by government officials that
the United States tariff wall is Gin
Ordinately high"

one reason Secretary Hull and his low
tariff advocates have been able to have
their theories accepted by so many
people is because the subject of tariff
and international trade is such COM
plicated, unrOmantic study"
Would Clear Up "Fallacies"
Mr. Thompson said he believes a
true report to congress by the tariff
commission would "clear up some of
the fallacies in the talk about trade
barriers" and would get enough pub
licity to cOunteract partially the state
departments propaganda.
Mr. Thompson then related the his
tory of tariff laws since the turn of
the century and explained the back

changed our meeting time to 4 80 p. m.,

We have been to a great disadvan-
