They have jumped into the lime

they have reflected upon the loyal

sought to smear the name and

Anti-labor elements in the coun-

similar campaigns launched in the
name of stopping strikes, and later
extending the work week.
In both of these attempts they
have failed because the general
public and representatives in Con-

American labor has come through

of the problem and the phony cam

Price Fixing for Vegetables
philadelphia Record

philadelphia Record
Price-fixing of five essential vegetables was ac-
compished SO swiftly that spectators much
surprised as consumers. That was good strategy on
the Governments part.
The emergency ceilings set on tomatoes, green
and wax snap beans, carrots, cabbage and peas apply
to all dealers except the grower.
Have the headache medicine ready. Precisely the
same exemption from price fixing brought about the
black market in meat.
Wholesalers and retailers restricted on
prices for which they could sell, but not prices
they had to pay Dealers who could buy only at
extortonate black market prices could do only one
of three things either sell at black market prices,
sell the posted ceiling prices and lose their shirt
or shut up shop. Many did the last
We hope these demoralizing conditions, for con-
sumers as we'll as businessmen not repeated with
vegetables.
Experience proves you can't have free, unre-
stricted market at end OF the food supply and
"a fixed price market at the other. Either it must
all be governed by law of supply land demand or
rice-fixing must go the whole route.
One reason farmers have been excused from price
restriction is official Washingtons fear of the farm
bloc But it's time to realize that if such fear is
to obstruct price control there won't be any price
control.
This doesn't mean the farmer must be the goat
and sell for less than it costs him to produce Since
the Government has adopted price control pol

That is the way Canada has kept prices in check
and from all accounts Canada's pricefixing is more
successful than ours Our own Government prac-
tees subsidy in many forms. Under AAA to pro-
tect farmers from loss, it pays them for what they
don't grow. 1t would be just consistent to cover
their loss on what they do grow, the food we and
our Allies need to eat
Whatever it costs to substitute farmers will be a
small price to pay for escaping black market.

INVITING INITIATION?

The recent compulsory AZ hour work order issued
by Economic Director James Byrnes signed by the
President concurred in by War Manpower Commits
sioner Paul McNutt is causing end of rumpus in
the States Some of the rumpus seems justified
The order has two declared purposes:
The first is to achieve the fullest mobilization
of our nanpower to carry out one of the greatest
military operations ever planned in history" The
second purpose is to prevent initiation
Perhaps more elaboration is needed to convince
the average American who is becoming harder to
convince every day that these purposes will be &C
complished by the order.
There is nothing in the order except to make
the 48-hour week compulsory at present in certain
sections where the greatest manpower shortages exist
The 48-hour week has always been available. But,
unless we greatly mistaken, it is in these sec
tions that longer hours already are being worked
And at time -and-a half, provided in the order
1t seems doubtful, then that any considerable num-
Der of workers would be released through the order
In any event the number would be relatively small
The order states that time and half must be
paid for the extra eight hours For this reason,
seems that the order would tepd to invite initiation
not prevent it.

eight hours adding 20 percent more work to the
work week that 20 percent more goods will be pro-
duced, it follows that if the worker is paid only &c
percent more the would not be nflationary
But the worker is paid time and-a-half BY
turning out 20 percent work he gets 80 percent
more in wages for it. That adds to the workers
spending power and invites initiation as we SEE. it.
In addition, wasn't of the reasons for estab-
fishing the 4O-hour week because the workers eff
ficency is said to decrease for every hour over the
40? Thus cannot be sure that we will get 20 per-
cent more in goods.
And in addition since the producer will be get
ting less for his he will find the order squeez-
ing him up against the low hanging price ceiling,
further inviting disaster.
The logical solution would to simply pay
the worker at the same rate for the extra eight
hours if the originators of this plan determined
to have as one of its purposes the prevention Of
initiation.
