SWEDISH UNIONS
BACK NEICHBORS

Stockholm (ILNS) The Swedish
Trade Union Federation meeting here,
issued statement on the situation in
the Scandinavian countries. Express
ing sympathy for Sweden's three
neighbors Norway, Denmark and
Finland, the statement said, in part:
"The brave resistance of the Nor
wegians against injustice has warmed
our hearts and strengthened our be-.
lief that, in the long run, force cannot
s b u a tie Norway's people. The
Danes have met their heavy fate with
calmness, confidence, courage and
resolution, and the heroic action of
the Danish Navy in scuttling it's fleet
rather than lose it to the Germans, has
won the sympathy of all friends of
liberty.
Finland has declared that it's only
war aim is the preservation of it's ma
tional liberty and independence. This
is as much to the interest of Sweden
as it is to Finland. Neither in respon-
sible Finnish quarters, nor among the
Finnish people, has any desire to ex-
tend Finland's territory been ex-
pressed. AS Finland does not partici-
pate in Germany's war against Rus
sia, it should not be impossible for
Finland and the Soviet to find some
form of settlement that will permit
them to live in peace, and as good
neighbors."

Black Powder Holds Own

Moosic, Pa.-Black powder still is
performing many vital functions in
the war, the explosives department of
the E. |. Dupont de Nemours Co., an
nounced when the Army Navy "E"
was awarded to the company's Belin
works, where black powder is made.
The department said the explosive,
although largely replaced since the
Civil War by gunpowder and TINT, is
used to start torpedoes and depth
charges to ignite the propellant
charges in all kinds of shells and for a
number of other purposes, including
signal flares, primers and bursting
charges.

like to send some of their imaginative
statisticians to work in a war plant
pushing trucks and employ a few
housewives on part-time basis to
make reports on prices. That would
save the Government money, it
would reduce taxes and it might help
to solve the manpower problem.
Above all, we object to having wage
rates stabilized or frozen in relation
to cost of living figures which are so
obviously phoney. If the cost of living
increase isn't five times as great as
the BIS says it is, we'll eat our hat.
Well probably have to anyway before

A major depression with widespread
unemployment after the war is the
great danger to avoid. 1t can be
avoided if we prepare a program of
peacetime production now which will
provide jobs for all during the post
war period. This can and must be
done.-William Green.

WISDOM

1t is our aim to avoid strikes; but
l trust that the day will never come
when the workers of our country will
have so far lost their manhood and
independence as to refuse to strike,
regardless of the provocation, or to
surrender their right to strike.-Sam-
uel Gompers.

get away with 1t. Here are a few
facts every Congressman should
know:
Wages were stabilized as Of
September Is. 1912. They weren't
stabilized at high levels, either.
The average wage for all indus
try was $40 q week, $1,000 o year
IL you work SO weeks. That's
$500 less than q family Of five
needs for a decent healthy stand
ard Of living. according to the
most recent official budget study.
And what has happened to food
prices since September Is. 1912 ?
The CLIO Congress of Women's
Auxiliaries has conducted a ma
tional survey on food price in
creases since that date.
BEEF PRICES SOAR
Returns from all parts of the
country-from mine camps and
big cities. from east and west
show the same picture. Beef prices
are up from 10 10 50Ge-in one
company store 1000. Fresh vege.
table prices have risen from 500
10 1000.
Department Of Labor figures
show skyrocketing increases in
seasonal vegetables. In April
1913, compared to April 1912.
potatoes were up 65E, onions
500, carrots. 25.4%. cabbage

It's only when subsidies are
proposed to keep butter and meat
and coffee prices down that they

In England they've paid subsidies
to keep food costs down for tive
years. Why? Because they recoc-
nize that the health Of the civilian
population Is vital 10 winning the
war and proper food is essential
TO health.
As q result the increase In liv.
ing costs in Britain In the last
two years has been " Of one per-
cent, while In the United States
living costs have risen 2iE-'
even by Department OF Labor
figures-since January 194l.
The result, plainly and simply.
is that many American workers
aren't getting enough to eat. That
in turn, means that they aren't
doing their best work on the pro-
duction lines. And that means that
we aren't getting top production

1t isn't hard to see how serious

2. Hundreds of thousands OF

Queer Ethics

Indepently of the technical find
ings of the rationing board, the
question may well be raised as 10
the propriety of a high OPA official
taking advantage of the loopholes
of OPA regulations 10 get large
amounts of food denied to the rest
of us.
Several years ago 1t was re-
vealed that the income tax regu-
ltaions were so loosely drawn that
millionaires could escape pay
ments OF taxes by Incorporating
their yachts and personal estates.
But no official of the Treasury
used his inside knowledge Of the
regulations to indulge I'm this
type Of tax evasion.
The Quisling situation inside Of
OPA adds to the need for firm
labor pressure, not only on Con.
gress, as was suggested last week.
but also on the top war agencies
that supervise the OPA.
The Roosevelt Administrator
has made o commitment to en-
force price control, to roll back
prices and to carry through sub
sides. Labor insists that this
commitment be honored.

T axe Ny Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Surprise Word of the Week.

The word CONJURE not only
has two contrary meanings; it has
two distinct pronunciations as we'll.
The word comes from the Latin
conjuro, ito swear IA sacred OATH
together"
One meaning of coniure is "to
implore; to entreat solemnly" In
this meaning the word is pro-
nounced: kun-JOOR.
A second meaning is ito practice
black magic" Southern Negroes
often use conjure as a noun mean
ing ANY object that has an evil
power: a voodoo fetish.' A con
jure bag" containing a weird COL
lection of small objects-a chicken
head, dried toad, flngernail par
ings, a tuft of human hair-When
buried near an enemy's house is
supposed to bring him certain death
or disaster-to hex" him.

North was making direct gam
BILE when he bid five diamonds, and
perhaps West doubled on the
strength of North's obvious reluc-
tance. Whatever Vests reason, he
did not really deserve to get away
with his double.
West made his best opening, the
queen of clubs. South won and, see
ing so many high trumps, did not
stop to figure out the reason why
he should not 60 right after them.
So he led to the diamond ace, then
back to his diamond queen, and
then the trumps were effectively
drawn.
Next South led the heart jack.
West covered, the ace won and the
heart queen was cashed next. South
ruffed heart and found that still
another ruff would be necessary to
establish the suit. But it was too
late now! If one of dummy's two
remaining trumps were used as an
entry to ruff the heart, and the
other trump as an entry to discard
club, there would be no trump
left to ruff a spade in dummy. So
South was down one.
The crime, of course, was in not
playing to the heart finesse and
ruff1ng heart before drawing a
second trump, SO that the dummy
would save that one vital extra en-
try.
