the steer companies. Among IteInS
asked for by the USA are:
1. LIBERALIZED VACATIONS
One week for continuous service
ranging from year to three years
and two weeks for more than three
years, instead of the present one
week for three years to Is years
service, and two weeks after Is
years.
2. DISMISSAL PAY
Four weeks pay for all workers
with from one to three years con-
tinuous service and eight weeks
pay for all employees with more
than three years service to be pro-
vided when plants or portions of
plants are permanently closed
down. The union pointed out that
the steel companies make hand
some provisions for the security of
top fight executives - Republic
Steel, for instance, paid in 1910
$4,000 for a retirement annuity
contract for Tom Girdler.
8. SICK LEAVE
Seven days sick leave year for
workers with from one to three
years continuous service and ID
days sick leave for those with more
than three years service. The USA
said that sick leave helps the
workers to secure medical aid,
helps control the spread of illness
and protects the workers families
against harsh fluctuations In in
come.

From 1899 to 1919, the USA re-
ported, corporations had the largest
percentage income increase. 3O2
percent before federal taxes-from
SD billion dollars in 1899 TO 1913
billion dollars in 1913.
"The second largest percentage
increase went to farmers (agricul-
tural proprieters) whose income
before taxes rose ITO percent in
this period, or from 4.3 billion dol
lars in 1899 to II billion dollars in
1943" the USA stated.
"Of the three principal groups in
our national economy, labor has
Jared the worst. Labor's income,
before taxes, from the standpoint
of the individual average civilian
worker, rose only 70 percent in this
period, or from an average annual
compensation of $1,372 In 1899 TO
$3.50 in 1943."

A. SHIFT DIFFERENTIAL


Allowances of five cents an hour
for employees on the afternoon
shift and 10 cents an hour for
those on the night shift, on the
basis that such differentials are
justified by the strain caused by
odd hours Of work and are common
practice in other industries.

ing Day, Jan. 1, July A, Labor Day,
Christmas and Memorial Days be
considered holidays, with ell en-
ployes who are required to work
on those days being paid time and
a half.
6. WAGE DIFFERENTIALS
The union asks that all geo.
graphic wage differentials be elm
mated on the basis that the steel
industry is capable of paying the
same rate throughout the nation
and that the cost of living over
the country is practically the
same.

elimination of inequalities now eX-

institute and maintain uniform
group insurance plans, under joint
union-management operation, and
providing:
(a) Life, accidental death and

Pointing out that the principle
OF economic sterilization Is based
on the theory that the principal

mately the same share Of the ma
tional income that they had re-
ceived before the war, the USA
cited the following percentages for
the major groups to prove that

THE OUTSTANDING 100 ACRE
FARM IN THIS SECTION
When you want to buy a suit
OF clothes, a horse, a COW or a
piece of furniture, haven't you
always found that, in the end,
it is cheaper to buy the best?
The same thing applies to
farm, only more so, as a good
farm, we'll located, is always
Saleable and will continue to
increase in value as the country
improves. Right at the front
door Of Ell Centro is this 160
acres! Only miles south of
the city limits Of Ell Centre,
formerly known as the Gebbie
ranch. If you have been here
very long, you know the place.
This ranch is not only known
as a very heavy producer, but is
SO beautifully situated that it
demands the attention and envy
of most everyone who drives
along the highway. If land
around Salinas and Watsonville
is worth 100000 per acre; and
if orange groves are selling from
$2500.00 to 100000 per acre in
Orange county: Then I ask you,
if such a ranch as this one is
not worth the price? Suppose
you pay $4,000 or $4,000 per
acre more to get the best, what
does that amount to, with mon
ey at SO? 1t means that you
only have to make $3.50 to $500
per acre more, per year. Get the
record of the proc uction of this
place from the man who owned
it for 25 years.
The price is 100000 per acre,
on reasonable terms, if desired.

For the sixth straight year the st.

the title in last nights final bout
at Uline Arena when Richard Mutt

Buddy Ryan of Merrick Club in 80

Ryan was down three times before
Referee Charley Reynolds stopped
the fight, and even though saved by

Merrick, the second-place team.
Novice team honors went to Pete's

ST. LOUIS, March THE Ma
tional League champion st. Louis
Cardinals and the Browns of the
American League coined today in
postponing the start of spring train
ing until March 20 to allow more
time in getting their squads to-
gether.
The Browns pitchers and catchers
were to have reported at Cape
Girardeau, Mo-, March 10, with the
other players due March 13. The
Cardinals had set March Is for the
start of their training at Cairo, Ill

Asked If the postponement indi-
Gated some doubt about baseball
this season, President Sam Breadon
of the Cardinals said:
mo, you have to be an optimist
in this business and I am optimistic
about the prospects. We will GER
tainly have team on the field for
the start Of the schedule April 49,
However, Breadon and william O.
De Witt, vice president Of the
Browns, agreed the clubs were in
the dark about the number of play
ers who would be available and both
said this uncertainty was one reason
for the training delay.
They also pointed out some play
ers were slow in reporting last year
and the later date this spring should
make it possible for all to assemble
on time.
The teams will have only 10 days
down South" before coming to ST.
Louis for their spring series of seven
games, the only exhibitions on their
schedules.
See Short Period as Ample.
Both Breadon and De Witt as
serted the short training period
would be ample because with the
smaller squads expected condition
ing can be more intensive for each
player If necessary, the Cardinals
will bring some Of their minor
league pitchers to Cairo to help in
batting practice.
The Browns have no problem in
that respect since Toledo, their
American Association farm club,
will train with them at Cape Gil
rardeau. The Toledo start also was
postponed until March 20.

Victim in Row

Hammerin' Henry Armstrong is
bringing a string. of five successive
knockouts to Uline Arena next Mon

ington's frankie Wills.
Armstrong last night at Des
Moines, Iowa, chilled Jackie Byrd
of Blytheville, Ark, in 1:18 of the

sive all the way and first floored
Byrd for a count Of seven before
putting over sharp right to the
jaw as the final punch. Armstrong
weighed 142 and Byrd 148.
Wills today was quoted as a 1-3
underdog for next Mondays fight.
but is being conceded a $3.50 chance
of going the distance with the Ham,
mer Frankie never has been
knocked out, although having fought
number of formidable ringmen. At
lat pounds, weight called for in
the fight articles, Wills will be the
heaviest man Armstrong has faced
here. 1t is a shade below Frankie S
favorite fighting figure. He made
145 pounds for Bob Montgomery last
summer.
Wills pushed Montgomery in the
early rounds, but finally lost out,
claiming that the taking off of so
much weight weakened him. Re-
ports from Baltimore, where he is
in training, indicate he is spending
much of his time strengthening his
wind and stamina. Since losing to
Montgomery, Wills has won over
Ernest CCat Robinson (twice), Joe

biggest publicity boost OF its 20
years in the United States just as
the loop was enjoying its greatest
