NATIONAL INCOME:
Record LeUeL

Doomed by the war effort, the ma
tional income of the nations so mil
lion workers scared to 142 billion
dollars in 1943, with about two-thirds
of it spent for goods and services,
the department of commerce an
nounced.
Rejecting the country's full swing
into high speed production during
1943, income increased rs billion dol
lars over 1912, but rejecting the
continued shortage of civilian goods,
expenditures only went up 87s bill
lion dollars.
From July to March, government
spending reached 60 billion dollars.
with Sc billion dollars paid out for
the war effort. During this period,
government receipts totaled Is bill
lion dollars, leaving deficit of al
most 35 billion dollars. Because of
the recent fourth war loan drive,
the government had a cash balance
of 10 billion dollars.
Beverage Purchases
Of the 80 billion dollars that con-
sumers spent for goods and services
in 1913, six billion dollars were ex-
pended for alcoholic beverages, the
department of commerce revealed.
This brought expenditures for liquors
up to $46 per person, compared with
500 in 1912 and $26 in 1899.
Despite the record expenditures
for alcoholic beverages, however,
less liquor was actually drunk, price
increases accounting for the rise.
Less than "a million gallons of hard
liquor were consumed in 1943,
compared with 88 million gallons in
1912. Wine consumption dropped be-
low the 1912 level of 112 million
gallons.
Total beer consumed increased
during 1913, however, chiefly be-
cause of a rise in demand from 10
million to A million barrels of the
bottled type.

FOREIGN OIL:
Pipeline Criticized

Spokesman of the Petroleum In
dustry War council vigorously criti-
cized the plan sponsored by Secre-
tary Ickes to construct a pipeline in
Arabia to supply United States
forces in the Mediterranean area
with oil products. To be built with
government money at an estimated
outlay of 165 million dollars, the pipe
line would carry oil from wells in
the interior of Saudi Arabia to some
port on the Mediterranean, and
would be operated by Standard Oil
of California, Texas Oil company and
Gulf Oil company under a leasing
agreement.
The Petroleum Industry War coun-
Gil contends that since the agree
ment would limit these three COM
panies to sell oil only to countries
approved by the state department
frequent international disputes
might arise, possibly leading to war.

WOOL:
Stocks Plentiful

Although the nation now has ade-
quate supplies of wool for clothing,
the two-pants suit with vest is
still forbidden by the War Produc-
ton board. The reason is the short
age of manpower, since it takes
more work to make those extra gar
ments. It's the same with pleats in
women's dresses, but insufficient
rayon goods for Innings is another
reason given.
Imports of wool from Australia
were not halted by the japanese
navy, as was feared. Between 500
and 900 million pounds were brought
in last year and in 1912. This. plus
a domestic crop stimulated by SUBJ
sidy Of 10 cents pound, has resulted
in stockpile Of large proportions.

Do You Know?

Motorists throughout the, country
are being told by OPA that unless they
realize the seriousness of the gasoline
Black Market-and take immediate ac-
ton to curb it--they may very well
see another cut in gas supplies.
Labor men and women are in Il posi-
tion to strike at the heart of many an
illegal gas mart because there can be
little doubt but that the Black Market
operator seeks a large percentage of
his customers among the thousands of
war plant workers. This heavy use of
Black Market coupons in certain areas
has contributed to serious local short
ages and threatened essential wartime
transportation by drying up service
stations.
Here's how Labor can help:
Don't buy gasoline coupons or ac-
cept as q gift coupons not issued to
you by your local Board
Don't buy gasoline without giving
up the proper coupons.
3-Don't apply for more gasoline
than you know you'll actually need for
really essential purposes. If you run
short, go to your Board or your Labor
OPA representative and state your
case frankly. They are there to make
sure you get the gas you really need,
not just to restrict you.
Write your license number and
state on all your gasoline coupons
NOW. Don't wait to do it when you
buy gasoline. DO IT NOW!
Coupon endorsement is important
NOW because it prevents others from
using your coupons if they are lost or
stolen; discourages the sale or gift OF
coupons for use in someone elSe's car,
and takes pressure off the honest gasO-
line dealer.
Endorsement of coupons helps OPA's
enforcement staff to trace illegal
coupons. When you buy gas, your
dealer pastes the stamps you give him
ON a gummed sheet bearing his name
and address. The gas supplier deposits
these sheets in ration bank. After
bank clerks examine these sheets for
proper endorsements, OPA inyestiga-
tors check them for spot counterfeits
and stolen coupons.
Distributors and ration banks will
not honor unendorSed coupons. A deal
er who deposits them loses just that
much gas from his working inventory
and, if he takes too many, he eventual
~ goes out of business.
But none of these steps can be
accomplished without the ADVANCE
ENDORSEMENT OF ALL COUPONS.
BY such endorsements Labor can play
a ma jor role in stamping out the gaso-
line Black Market which is fostering a
minor crime wave and sapping the
strength of the war effort.

Works Program
Central Labor Council Culls
For Providing Of Jobs
At Wur's End

San Francisco (FP)-Blazing a trail
on postwar planning, the Central La
Dor Council here called for develop
ment of public works program to
help provide jobs for all.
Irked by the slowness of state, muni-
cipal and industrial plans for postwar
employment, the council asked city
officials to prepare Immediately a
postwar public works program and 10
coordinate all departments of the city
government into streamlined effort
devoted to the earliest possible com
pletiOn of such a program"
The council asked for a joint meet
ing of its own postwar planning COM
mittee with the major, the chairman
of the board of supervisors and the
chief administrative officer ito work
out the details of the program.
Government must help business cross
the gap from wartime to peacetime
production, State Senator John f.
Shelley, president of the council, told
Federated Press.
There are many things which need
doing" Shelley said ''such as road
repair highway construction, slum
clearance and many others. The state
has appropriated $131 million for
building construction after the war,
and San Francisco has secured its
share of this, but nothing can be done
without preparation for the work by
municipal authorities.
The shadow of postwar unemploy-
ment looms already. Every month 1000
men are discharged from the services
in San Francisco alone, and most of
them nave no jobs to go back to. We
cannot wait until the shipyards close
down or the war industries finish their
contracts, to provide work for the
people now employed by them.
I'VE are not contemplating, as some
people have alleged, another WPA'
But if the city cannot provide public
works for those without jobs in private
industry, then we shall have to have
work relief, for we are not going back
to the days of apple-selling on street
corners"

American organized labor has an
envious record in World War III.
Despite the unfavorable jibes Of sub
sidized anti-union propagandists, who
have contributed nothing to our war
effort, American workers broke all
world records for production Of mill
tary supplies for our armed forces. Or
ganized labor deserves a maj jor portion
Of the credit because many war plants
are 100 per cent uniOnized and over Sj
per cent Of the planes, tanks, ships and
other munitions were built or made by
members Of labor unions.
Union workers can well be proud of
their war-productiOn record. With the
exception Of the sacrifices Of our fight
ing men, no more essential service can
be performed in time Of war Yes,

One Of the finest contributions by
members Of labor unions are the 1000

will continue to flow to our fighters
until they return home.

The American Federation of Labor
is now formulating postwar pro-
gram. ! am not eXaggerating in the
slightest degree when / say that one
of the best solutions for our postwar
problems is the use Of the Union Label,
together with the Union Shop Card
and Service Button. BY using these i'm
sigma on all products and services,
consumers are guaranteed that goods
are made and services are performed
by wage earners who receive decent
wages, hours and working conditions.
What does this mean? 1t simply means
that when consumer buys Union La
bel goods and uses Union services that
he is maintaining purchasing power so
that we can sustain our normal Ameri-
can standards of living That, in turn,
means full employment at decent
wages. Finally, it all adds up to pros
perity for all citizens on every eco
nomic level.
