In the Midst of Plenty
From the christian Science Monitor.

From the Christian Science Monitor.
The bungling and confusion in WASH
ington is nowhere more sharply reflected
than in the anomalous situation which
finds the people of American cities feel
ing the effects of a shortage in fresh
meat while ranges and feed lots have
never in history included so many cattle
and hogs. The figures released by the
cattle growers show more than 78 ,OOO, 600
head Of cattle in the United States on
January Of this year, compared with
herds averaging 67,O00,000 before the
war and 59.O0o,00o in the boom year
of 1929. It Is plain to almost every one
that conflict and overlapping Of agencies
charged with control OF food is largely
to blame. Giving power over prices to
one group and control of production to
another might have been expected to
produce confusion. Obviously corrective
administrative measures are in order.
Moreover. regulations limiting packers
to 10 per cent Of their 1941 kill for
civilian purposes might be relaxed. In
view of the surplus of meat animals.

against the members OF organized
labor, but against abuses by profess
sional leaders, some OF whom have
placed their personal, selfish inter-
ests above the interests Of the coun-
try as whole.
How serious the threats OF the
leaders Of organized labor against
members OF Congress may be, under
present conditions, is a question that
can be answered only at the polls. It
is an established fact, however, that
during the last Congress many mem
bers of the House voted for anti
strike and other labor bills, opposed
by labor leaders, and that in the con-
gressional elections of 1912 few of
them failed of reelection, whereas
many members who held themselves
at the bid and call of labor leaders
were retired to private life.

Casualties Not Great

From the Hutchinson Kans) News.
Total announced casualties Of the
American armed forces now are 87,304.
At first glance that seems a shocking
lot. The casualties exceed the popula-
ton of Topeka and Dodge City COM
bined. But the more the figures are
considered. the more comforting they
become.
Our country has been at war more
than a year and half now. It has
more than nine million men in uniform.
The total casualties for eighteen months
OF fighting, consequently, amount to
less than per cent and the number
killed or dead from wounds, 15,132, rep
resents only one-sixth Of per cent.
In contrast, life insurance actuaries
estimate that during their twenty-eighth
year, which is about the average age of
those in uniform, seven-tenths of l per
cent of men die from normal causes or
peacetime accidents,

order a runoff. but If the present
ratio is maintained, the proceedings
will be ended. If runoff is ordered,
one of the principals. will need 81
per cent of the total vote cast to be
designated as the bargaining agent.
While inconclusive elections are no
novelties in board history, the oppo-
sition in this instance attained un-
usual proportions. Because the figure
is considered a military secret, the
exact number of participants in the
election was not made public, but it
is known to have run into the thou
sands, nineteen polling places hav-
ing been set up to speed the voting.
Ballots were challenged in cases
where the names of those by whom
they were cast did not appear on
the payroll list of eligibles compiled
by the company.
In the light of the success that has
attended efforts to organize mass
production industries, reversal
stirs speculation as to the cause, and
an interesting field is opened by con-
sidering the possibility that the en-
ployment of women may be a factor.
If the distaff workers come from
homes where male members belong
to unions, they could be expected to
fall in line also. Otherwise, the
tendency to join probably would not
be so strong, particularly in view of
the fact that the venture into in
dustry is only wartime interlude
for manV.

Hold This!'

The other day in Chicago watch
man at plant was given mys-
.terious package by a mysterious
woman with the mysterious admoni-
ton: Hold this! I'm in troubled"
Surprised into acceptance, he
learned, after the woman had de-
parted safely, that he was holding a
package of dynamite. Hastily, he
passed the buck to the police, who
took it off his hands.
In Rome this sort OF thing has
been going on for months, and right
now with redoubled vigor. The dyna-
mite is public Office in the Fascist
regime, and comes in large or small
packages, according to the impor-
tance of the post. Mussolini, the
troubled donor, who once urged Ital-
ians to live dangerously, happens at
the moment to be stuck with more
dynamite than he conveniently can
handle. A large portion OF it he re-
Gently unloaded on Carlo Sforza, Sec
retary OF the Fascist party, but he is
puzzled about what to do with the
rest of it before it goes of. He could
use a watchman from Chicago or
from anywhere else to take it of his
hands, but all the best watchmen in
Italy-those who really are watch
ing events carefully-want no part
OF 1t. It looks as II he would have
to hold enough Of 1t TO make 4 spec
