County Clerk Says New Tax
Law Made By Legislature Is
Considered Very Confusing

foreclosure proceedings, which
the county attorney will be direct
ed to start after the expiration
date. When the county gets title
to the property, then the County
Commissioners and the City Coun-
cilmen must hold joint meeting
to decide at what price the prop
erty will be sold, which must at
least be sufficient to pay city,
state and county taxes. or at least
one-half the assessment on the
county's books.
If an individual wishes to buy
certificates after July 8, he may
do SO by first paying delinquent
taxes to the city on the parcels
in question, and, on obtaining the
certificates from the county, he
may proceed to foreclose in the
same way the county will do in OBJ
tanning title to the parcels In
question.
No more redemptions after
July T." were the instructions
given the county clerks at the con-
ference. The only way the parcels
can be obtained after then is
through foreclosure, either by the
county or individuals and in al
such proceedings the city, for al
realty in its corporate limits, must
be paid delinquent taxes.
Comptroller Lee points out thai
the only way to avoid that pro-
vision of the law is to purchase
certificates on or before July Z.

Baseball Fans
Can Cheer Up
in Oklahoma

OKLAHOMA CITY, March 10
-(P)-Baseball fans can cheer
up.
The Texas League and West
ern Association, Oklahoma S
professional leagues, may have
suspended, but they'll have a
potent substitute - one that Will
show the state some major
leaguers in action, right at home.
Lieut. Charles Colbert, u. S.
N, late shortstop for the st.
Louis Cardinals, is sponsoring a
six-team service league, manned
almost entirely by professionals,
many of them from the big
leagues.
Colbert will be trainer and
play for his naval training base
team at Norman Okla. He's
right happy over his prospects,
too. His starting battery likely
will consist of AL Benton, De-
troit pitcher, and Benny War
rem, Philadelphia catcher. Out in
the field he has eX-Dodger John
ny Rizzo, and with some promis-
ing minor leaguers around, he
isn't much worried about filling
out the spots in between.
When he takes on the naval air
station team, also from Norman
he'll meet pitcher Jim Winford,
an old Cardinal teammate.
Other members of the league,
which starts 60-game sched-
ule May Is, are the Enid Army
Flying School; Will Rogers Air
Base, Oklahoma City; Naval
Gunnery School, Purcell; and
Tinker Field, Oklahoma City.
All of the competing teams
are we'll supplied with profess
SIGNALS - including many who
performed creditably in leagues
up to and including class AA
last year.
So far, the others haven't any
major league talent, but they're
not discouraged.
They note happily several
draft boards have invited some
top notch stars to drop over
for conference.

Foremen's Union Poses
New Problem for Industry
G-M Reported Pvepored to
Fight Industriol Anarchy

DETROIT, March 19-(R)-A
new member of the automobile
industry's organized labor fam
ily-the "Foremen's Union" -
sprang into the limelight today
with General Motors corporation
reported ready to fight its recog-
milton In fear of "a condition of
industrial anarchy.
From a qualified Washing
ton source came word that Cen
eral Motors through President
c. E. Wilson, was going to pro-
test the unions recognition by
the National Labor Relations
board in the interests of vital
war production" and Sound in
dustrial relations"
A formal protest, it was said,
has been prepared for presenta-
ton to the Military and Naval
affairs committees of the House,
the House labor committee, and
the special House committee on
Administrative practiSeS.
Recently the Foreman's Asso-
citation of America, an indepen-
dent union, has attained consid-
cradle prominence in Detroit's
auto industry. 1t is active in
both the Ford Motor company
and the Packard Motor Car COM
pany and has applied for recog-
milton in one CM plant here.
Genera; Motors was said to be
of the view that foremen were
directly responsible only to the
management and that their af-
filiation with union would
detract from plant efficiency be-
cause of divided sympathies.
Declared to be demanding
immediate action" from the
Washington committees, General
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1943-03-19

Motors was said to be attacking
the NLRB's recognition of the
union as a misinterpretation OF
the Labor Relations act or on
grounds that the act itself was
inconsistent or contradictory"
Wilson was reported to have
said in a prepared statement to
the committees that the presence
in GIN plants of another union
would create the possibility OF
inter-union rivalry from which
it would be easy to visualize
the complete breakdown of auth
GRITTY and internal plant disci-
pine"
The CLOS United Automobile
Workers union has had a con-
tract for several years with Gen.
eral Motors as representative of
hourly paid (non-supervisory)
employees.

Prentiss Browns Wife
Corries-On As in the Past
Up to Ears in Work Ex-senator
Must Foreeo Life in Two Homes

one at ST. Ignace and h e r
Washington residence.
STAY IN CAPITAL
Up to his ears in work, Brown
expects TO be constantly on the
job and his wife intends to fore
60 her pleasant custom of spend
ing part Of each year in Michi-
gan.
Brown, defeated for reelection
after he piloted the Price Con-
troll Bill through the Senate,
was appointed Price Admins
traitor TO succeed Leon Hender-
son.
Mrs Brown goes right on do
ing the homely tasks of the av-
erage American wife. They have
eight children. Two of them,
Barbara. just finished her soph-
omore year at the University of
Michigan, and Paul, eight-year-
old all boy, are here.
Mrs. Browns chief concern is
to keep quiet, comfortable
home for her Woodworking hus-
band. She'll stay on her job as
long as necessary. although she
thinks wistfully of st. Ignace
and old friends.
UNPERTURBED
Wartime Washington doesn't
perturb Mrs. Brown. She doesn I
bother with too many social
events. The Browns aren't So
cially inclined.
She observes religiously the
rationing orders issued by her
husband and is sure they are
all necessary. She has one
pointer for other wives: You
can do better shopping around
for your meats and vegetables
rather than buying everything
at one big store.
Shoe rationing doesn't worry
her because she never buys more
than three pairs a year. She
likes to work her own garden,
even enjoys shoveling snow off
the sidewalks.
Serene and gracious, Mrs
Brown suggests that reason and
a sense of humor will go Ions
way toward easing the prob
lens of war at home, so minor
when compared with those on
the fighting fronts.
