THREATENS
COUNTER ATTACK

Notice was served on congress July
5, by Senators LaFollette and Thomas
that they would make every effort
to insert in any new anti-labor legis
lation proposal, their program to pun
ish organized conspiratorial interior
ence with the right of collective bar
gaining" This would provide Grim
inal penalties for labor espionage,
professional strike-breaking, the use
of munitions by industrial organiza-
lions and generally make punishable
any eoercive measures used by en-
ployers.
Senator LaFollette predicted that
the forces of industrial autocracy
will seize upon the postwar period
to turn back the march of industrial
democracy" and that the main weap-
ons" for the anti-labor offensive
would follow the lines of the practices
of employers as disclosed in the find
ings of the senate civil liberties COM
mittee in it's investigations in Cali
fornia.
He urged the enactment of addition
al legislation for labor, to protect
"that form of democratic society we
are dedicated to preserve"
"Such an act would symbolic as
nothing else the stake of millions
upon millions of men and women of
labor in the democracy we are striv-
ing to defend from totalitarian ag-
gression" he declared
Eat time when labor is being
urged or compelled by public pressure
to give up its right to strike, when
it's wages are frozen by directive,
when the living standards of the fam
lies represented are seriously threat
ened by increased living costs, when
t is tied to its job by government or
Ter. when it is subject to vilification
md abuse by those who knowingly |
3r unknowingly would destroy our |
precious unity, labor needs an assur-
nee of its place in the industrialized
ociety of the future"

POSTWAR
RECONSTRUCTION

CHICAGO-U. S. Consumer Co-oI
eratives will hold their first nationa
conference on "Co-operatives ant
Post War Reconstruction" in Wash
ington late in September. This de
cision, made by the directors of tn,
Cooperative League of the USA a
their quarterly meeting here June 2
and 25, was prompted by the grow
ing importance of co-operatives in re
lief and rehabilitation.
IT, S. marketing co-operatives are
already supplying one-third of the
food-stuffs going over seas under the
Lend-Lease program.
U. S. consumers co-operatives have
recently rebuilt or purchased plants
and factories to process foodstuffs.
Consumers co-operatives in most
European countries and in many 9th
er parts of the globe distribute from
10 to 400 of the foodstuffs in their
respective countries and are expected
to play an important role in postwar
relief distribution.
The proposed conference will con
slider the use of existing co-operatives
for food distribution, and will urge
the extension of the cooperative
METHOD to other fields of relief and
distribution Among points for con-
sideration will be Fortune magazines
recent proposal that nazi-held proper
ties be turned into co-operatives at
the close of the war as way to pre-
serve private ownership as an alter
native to state ownership
Murray d. Lincoln, president of the
Cooperative League, made his first
report to the Cooperative League di-
rectors since his participation in the
United Nations Food Conference as
one member of the six-man U, S. dele
cation. Lincoln reported that the
conference was almost unanimous in
its agreement that an aggressive food
policy is essential to the peace and
stability of the postwar world.
1.-THE common people of the world
are on the march whether we like it
or not" Lincoln declared "They are
going to throw out restrictive econ
omy and scarcity" He reported that

that 1--WE have so spent our substance
and so stretched our credit that we
cannot rebuild our economy on

and abundance"

signed to the section Lincoln took
part in put co-operatives at the top

REGIONAL.
BOARD IS
APPOINT

| Appointment of an 11-man regiona
board of governors for the Smaller
War Plants Corp composed of bust
nessmen and industrialists from each
of the five mountain states was an
nounced today by SWPC in Washing
ton.
The board held its first organi
rational meeting in Denver on July
7, in the Brown Palace hotel.
At the same time, SWPC announced
appointment of Frank NJ Knight,
former Washington official of the cor
poration, to serve as acting regional
DIRECTOR Mr.. Knight succeeds Robert
w Gordon, prominent Denver bust
nessman, who left retirement to serve
as regional smaller war plants direc-
tor Mr.. Gordon was relieved of his
position at his own request.
Members of the new board from
Montana are James e. O'Connell,
president and general manager, Eddy's
Bakeries Inc Helena; and John A.
LOVelace, prominent BOZeman DuSl-
nessman.
The board was appointed, Mr..
Knight explained, in line with the
SWPC policy for further decentraliza-
ton of its operations to regional and
district offices for greater availability
of services in helping small factories
gear themselves to the war produc-
ton effort.
Small plant operators are asked to
look to the regional SWPC office in
Denver and to district offices at
Pueblo, Salt Lake City, Albuquerque,
Helena and Casper for assistance in
their energies and facilities
to war production.

NO ACTION
ON C0LLYER
Indictment

No news of definite action in the
prosecution of the indictment brought
by a federal grand jury against the
Collyer Insulated Wire Company in
Providence, R. l. early in June, has
been found in any later publications
The company and eight of its Off
GERS and employees were charged in
the indictment with conspiracy to de-
fraud the United States by manufac-
turing and delivering defective wire
and cable, by acting to circumvent
government inspection of the prod
ucts and by knowingly deceiving''
federal inspectors through the use of
devices designed to prevent honest
and accurate tests.
According to U. S. Attorney General
Biddle, one of the aims of the con-
spiracy was to prevent a large part
of the wire and cable from being sub
mitted to official tests. The defend
ants were charged with accomplishing
this by removing from reels of tested
and approved wire, tags and seals of
ATluy anu navy ilSpSCtOiS- II Is dl-
legged that these tags and seals were
then placed on reels of wire INFESTED
or known in advance to be defective
and reels already approved from
which the seals had been removed
were resubmitted.
1t will be interesting to note, if the
case is finally disposed of in the same
manner as was done in the similar
case against the Anaconda Wire and
Cable Company by the imposition of
Jail sentences and the pay
ment of what can only be considered
as nominal fines. And these fines
will probably be used as deductions
for expenses incident to carrying out
the government contract and probably
be accounted as costs of production
with Uncle Sam paying the amounts.
But the welders found not making
proper Yields were speedily convicted
and are now serving prison terms.

in line with the navy's wishes
Readers will recall that Slicl
imposed fines totaling $4,000
on the company and five of its
officials in federal court al
Fort Wayne.
Attorneys for Anaconda, after pract
ically pleading guilty, offered in ex
tenuation of their clients a letter
from Secretary of the Navy Frank
Knox which referred to Anaconda in
the most complimentary terms.
Applied "Soft Pedal"
This letter was written shortly be-
fore the fraud was exposed, but an
equally flattering letter was written
by Rear Admiral H. L. Brinser, head
Of the navys inspection office, a
month after the indictment Anacon-
da counsel insisted that Brinser
sought to mitigate the effect of the
charges.
Still another letter, dated little
more than a month ago and bearing
the signature of the Office of In
spector of Navy Material in Cincin-
natl, declared the navy was SO
pleased with the performance of
Anaconda that the company was
being considered for an "E" award,
signifyng excellence in production.
These testimonials were referred to
by Judge Slick, in passing sentence.
He went out of his way to defend the
accused, saying: 'These men are not
saboteurs. They are not disloyal citi-
zens. They made a mistake, but we
do not need to reform them"
Slick said he thought the publicity
was punishment enough for the COM
pany and it's officials, but at the same
time he termed it ''regrettable that
there was so much publicity given to
this-a criminal case-in the press"
Would it be in order to inquire:
What would the judge have done if
the defendants had been members
of a labor union? Would the navy
"big-wigs" have rushed to their de-
Tense Reading Labor Advocate.

'P.D.B.' USEFUL IN ANT CONTROL
the Department of Agriculture advises
the use of "PDB." as a fumigant
for ant colonies in Victory Gardens
or on home grounds. P.D.B. is the
popular abbreviation of the name of
the chemical Observation-Disclosures
often used for control of clothes
moths. For control of most species
of ants that are active in gardens,
lawns, and on trees and shrubs, re-
lief depends on exterminating the ant
colony in the soil.
PROGRAM TO GET TEACHERS =
A growing shortage of teachers in
rural schools has caused the Woman's
Advisory Committee of the War Man
power Commission to advance a six
point program for women's groups
seeking to avert a critical situation
in school system and lowering of edu-
cational standards. The program fol-
lows: % campaign against restric-
tive hiring rules; (2) influencing
school boards to raise teachers sal
aries; CD emphasizing education as
an essential activity (4) urging wom-
en- who have left the teaching field
to return for the emergency; 90 urg-
ing high school graduates to enroll
in teacher training courses; co per
suading inexperienced teachers and
those returning to the field to enroll
in refresher courses.

Question OF More Winter Will Be
Decided By Grounding Next Tuesday

Bluffton residents will know what
the weatherman holds in store for
them for the rest of the winter when
the grounding, weather prognosticat-
or, pokes his nose from his burrow
and surveys the skies for sign of
the sun next Tuesday.
Custom DEGREES that if Mr..
Grounding sees his shadow, six more
weeks of winter weather are in store
for the district. If he fails to see
it, the remainder of the winter will
be mild.
Americas traditional Grounding
Day is said to have originated in the
Dutch section of Pennsylvania, but
today it is accepted everywhere in
this country.
The Pennsylvania Dutch, however,
still have something exclusive in con-
nection with the day. On every Feb
ruary 2 the Grounding lodge of
Quarryville, Pa, holds its annual
meeting.
