Roll Out
The Barrel.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. II (FP)-Now
that the beer shortage shows signs
Of being relieved, The st. Louis
Labor Tribune wishes to adopt the
suggestion of DR.. William ?. Ed
munds, Cleveland war manpower
commissioner, that beer be served
to workers to cut down absentee
ism.
"Certainly beer at 10 a. m. and
3 o. n.," The Tribune says, should
create an atmosphere of conrad
erie, conspicuously absent in some
of our local war plants. We are
quite sure lot of workers will be
glad to be used as guinea pigs and
will guarantee to give the proposal
a thorough and wholehearted test"
Shortage resulted from use OF
malt in manufacture Of smokeless
powder. The brewers say that the
powder program has been more
than successful and they hope tc
get more malt. But now the army
is taking 1870 of all beer, so there
is a possibility Of the shortage con-
tinuing.

.AI|time High

NEW YORK, Aug. 16 (FP)-
American consumer cooperatives
distribute nearly three-quarters of
a billion dollars worth of retail
goods and services a year, Assis-
tant Secretary Wallace ]. Camp
bell of the Cooperative League re-
ported Aug. II. This is an all-time
high, he said.
Eighty-one mills, factories, re-
fineries and other productive works
are now owned by co-ops in addi-
tion to 25 oil wells and 329 miles
of pipeline which serve the con-
sumer-owned refineries. The total
value of these enterprises is up in
the millions, Campbell said.
Reasons for the recent and very
dramatic drive into the field of
production, coop officials say, are
threefold; to make additional saw
ings for the 21s million consumer
owners of retail cooperatives; to
protect and control the quality of
goods distributed by the coopera-
tives; and to protect the sources of
supply for co-ops now operating
largely in the retail and wholesale
field.

that Secretary Ickes would there
upon withdraw his request, but to
our disappointment he pressed it
with new vigor and insistence."
The OPA Labor Policy Com
mittee says that Ickes' argument
that an increase is needed to pro-
vide an inducement for greater
production to meet civilion and
war needs is disproved by Natl.
City Bank reports that for the
first six months of 1913 profits
of Is oil producing companies are
20ao ahead of the same period il
1912.
Drilling of wildcat wells is al
ways paid for in part by large
companies, which can well con-
tinue to assist in financing such
drilling from their profits. Labor
costs are only 10 to 1870 of total
costs, cannot be offered as a
ground for price increases and
could "even be doubled with little
effect on prices" the labor group
said. The committee urged more
oil be imported from Columbia and
Venezuela.
Ickes had "no comment" to make
on the charges, his office said.

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 13.-(FP)
-Constitutionality of the Smith
Connally war labor disputes act
was challenged August 10 as 80
coal miners facing trial here en-
tered pleas of not guilty in federal
court on charges of conspiring 10
interrupt production in southwest
ern Pennsylvania coal fields dur
ing the June and July strikes.
The motions charged that "the
war labor disputes act is unconsti-
tutional and void in that it violates
the first amendment to the Consti-
tuition (freedom of speech) and the
18th amendment to the Constitu-
tion involuntary servitude).
The motions also charged that
the mines in question were illegal
ly operated by the government,
since ''the authority to take pos
session and the executive order of
the President was sanctioned
neither by the Constitution Of the
U. S. nor by any act of congress
and was, therefore. illegal and
void" The Smith -Connally law ap-
plies only to strikes in government
operated industries.

ASK Crowley TO
Reinsfofe
Royingdon

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is (FP)
Chapter IA, Federation of Archi-
tects, Engineers, Chemists and
Technicians (CI0) has sent a let
ter to Director Leo T. Crowley of
the Office Of Economic Warfare
asking that he reconsider his dis
missal of John Bovingdon and re-
instate him.
Such action "would strike a blow
for freedom and rout those forces
which seek to divide and disunite
the American people," said the let
ter, signed by President Leo Zwell.
Previously the United Federal
Workers (CIO) appealed direct to
President Roosevelt urging that
Sin line with his splendid statement
condemning the Kerr committee
rider Ito dismiss three federal en-
ployes from the PAYROLL" that he
move to protect federal workers
from irresponsible attacks and as
q first step, that Bovingdon be re-
instated.
Bovingdon was dismissed by
Crowley after The Times Herald
printed a story based on Dies COM

Defense Council
Clarifies Region

Qualification of the status of the
Fifth Civilian Defense Region is
made by officials of the Toledo
National Defense Council.
The statement is made following
an erroneous story which appeared
in some newspapers, stating that
the Fifth Region no longer existed.
The official story of what is
happening is this. There will con-
tinue to be a Fifth Region. Some
changes are being made.
The protection branch is moving
its headquarters from Cleveland to
Columbus to be nearer the center
of the region and to be able to
work in closer cooperation with the
Army Fifth Service Command at
Fort Hayes. Colonel Manford G..
Henley will direct protection activ-
tiles in the Fifth Region from Co.
lumbus.
Some administrative functions of
the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Re-
gions will be centered in Chicago.
This will give greater efficiency
and avoid unnecessary duplication
of services.
A small staff will probably re-
main in Cleveland, working under
supervision from Columbus.
Civilian War Services will have
its headquarters in Chicago, where
the Share-the- Ride, Child Care and
other wartime activities of 16 mid
western states will be coordinated.
The Fifth Region remains as it
is so far as territory is, concerned.
There is no change effected in To-
cal council organizations by the
changes in the Fifth Regional Of
flee.
The office of the Toledo Ma
tional Defense Council, which en-
braces the territory of Lucas
County and portions of Wood
County, is at 315 Superior ST., To-
ledo.

New York Times Against
Smifh-C Connolly Act

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-(FP)-
The New York Times, certainly not
noted for its overwhelming friend
ship for labor, came out editorially
August II for amending the Smith
Connally war labor disputes act.
Questioning the wisdom of Atty.
Gen. Francis Biddle's recent inter-
probation of the act. that any group
of workers, no matter how small,
could force strike vote, the Times
said:
"The mischievous possibilities of
such indiscriminate strike ballots
in wartime are so grave that con-
gress should amend the Smith-Con
nally act at the earliest possible
moment"
