Plans Now, Luke Says
Commission Not Considering Such
Move, Official Declares

The Delaware Liquor Commits
sion has no thought of rationine

ment was made to scotch reports

commission was considering this
step in view of the scarcity of liq-
uor.
Meanwhile. four Delaware liquor
importers met this week to discuss
a plan which would provide new
basis for distributing the restrict
ed quantities of available liquor to
licensed retailers in the state.
The importers have had vol
untary system of "rationing" of
hard liquor i'm effect for more than
two years but it is planned to make
the distribution more equitable.
The importers. by the contemplated
arrangement. would distribute liq-
uors to the retailers on the basis
of the average monthly sales of
the retailers during the first six
months of 1912.

Cont Afford Not To
Join Trade Unions
u. S. Chamber Head Finds
Unions In Soviet Russia
Strong Organizations

Washington (FP). - President Eric
Johnston of the L. s. Chamber OF
Commerce told his press conference
here July 13 that he found the trade
unions in the Soviet Union to be strong
organizations with membership on a
voluntary basis, but that workers could
hardly afford not to belong to them
because of the inducements they offer.
Johnston had just returned from an
extended visit during which he in
spccted the business and industry of
most sections of the Soviet Union.
The inducements, he said, include
extra social insurance, better hous-
ing, better vacations and better hos
pitallzation.'
The sleek, American executive ap-
peared greatly impressed by what he
saw. He declared the piece work sys-
TEN was almost universal and that the
Russians have IL great admiration for
American production.
Johnston said he could foreSee no
period in the lifetime of any of us
when Russia will be Il competitor of
ours. In answer 10 another question
ne said II saw no evidence of return

Union but saw plenty To the con
trary.

done the best job on sub-contracting
with stipulations to see that prime
contractors don't drop disproprOtion-
ate load on subcontractors.
The AFL leader said "the lack of
long range planning is especially ap-
palling," and commented that if the
European phase of the war should end
soon, there would be chaos and con-
fusion in American industry, since
there has been no organization set up
with authority and power to organize
the economy for peace as we have
organized for war"
Another labor witness was West
Coast Director Lew Michner Of the
UAW-CIO. He was critical of the atti-
tude Of most airplane manufacturers,
citing in particular an unidentified
official Of the North American Corp. at
Los Angeles as saying: IF North
American or any other aircraft COM
pany maintains so of its present pay
roll in peacetime they will have done
a good job He said that with an
estimated payroli of 232,000 workers,
that meant only 11600 would remain
on the job.

be dangerous to be unprepared TO meet
the problems of peace and that the
AFL platform for both political
parties recommended basic forms of
security for the American people +:
security against future war, security
against mass unemployment and Sc
curity against the dangerous ups ana
downs of an unstable economy.
ITO obtain job security, the AFL
realizes that program of maximum
production for peacetime needs will be
required i'm the postwar period. In
order to facilitate and encourage such
q production program, and in order to
protect human rights as well as prop
erty rights during the reconyersion
process, we recommend specific legis-
lation along the following lines:
'1-Creation of central Office of
economic mobilization and reconstruc-
tion, with representation for labor, IN
dustrial management and farmers.
"2-Prompt repeal of wartime re-
strictions on manpower, wages and in
dustrial expansion as soon as feasible
after the close of the war
Establishment of an emergency
unemployment fund out of which tenn
porary benefits can be paid to disem-
ployed war workers and demobilized
soldiers until they can find gainful
employment
Enactment of veterans legisla-
tion which will accord demobiliza-
tion payments, educational and train
ing opportunities and adequate medi-
cal care and rehabilitation aid for the
injured and disabled.
"5-Adoption of clearcut provisions
to assure fair terms for cancellation Of
war contracts, to guarantee prompt
settlement of industrial claims upon the
government to expedite removal of
government property from plants, and
to dispose of surplus government sup
plies and property IN an orderly man
ner designed to protect our home
economy"
The AFL leader explained that ia
bor is interested In these measures
helpful to business because they are
calculated 10 stimulate large-scale eX-
pansion of peacetime production upon
which workers must depend for jobs.
