The telephone business is deep
in the war and getting deeper
all the time.
The farther American forces
advance, the more switchboards,
wire and telephones they need.
And folks at home seem to want
more, too.
Since the National Defense pro-
gram started in 1910, we have
supplied the needs of Army,
Navy, war producers and most
others. In all, the Bell System
has increased the number of
telephones in service by over
Az million.
The equipment to do this came
from reserves that are about
used up. Production for normal
civilian needs has all but
stopped. That's why we can't
fill orders as fast as we'd like.

Fuils In Effort To
Evdde Bargaining
Gerrymdndering Utility Is
Told By NLRB To Recog-
nize Electrical Workers

An employer can't get away with
"gerrymandering' his properties to de-
prive union of its majority status.
That's the substance of IA ruling this
week by the National Labor Relations
Board in dispute between the Inter-
national brotherhood of Electrical
Workers and the Kentucky Utilities
Company, Lexington, Ky.
Over a year ago the l. B. Il. w. won
an election among employees in the
company's central division. Thereafter,
the company !uggled its divisions and
Workers claiming that as a result OF
the shift the union no longer repre-
sented II ma jorily.
Two months ago. trial examiner
rejected the company's alibi and this
week the board upheld the examiner
It's cerliication of the union stands
despite the companys gerrymander
tactics, the board ruled.
Boss Charged With "Smear"
At the same time the board found
the company guilty of attempting to
destroy the union through smear"
letters distributed to employees. The
company claimed such letters consti-
tuted an exercise of free speech" but
the n L. H. B. ruled they far exceeded
the bounds Of that privilege.
IL ordered the company to bargain
collectively with the union and To
cease all anti-labor activities.
Winning two more utility elections,
the l. Il. II. w. was certified by the
Labor Board as bargaining agency at
the Dallas (TeXas) Power and Light
Company and the Cincinnati Gas 4
Electric Company. At the latter plant,
the Electrical Workers defeated both
an independent and &. /. q. local

MO Sees Welfare Of People
New Principle Beginning
To Guide Colonial Rule

Montreal ULNS).-A new principle
the welfare of the people-has begun
to strengthen the principle of trustee
ship" in the government of dependent
territories, the International Labor
Office finds in Il report published here.
Indications point to wide measure
of current agreement, the report says,
that ''the main purpose of colonial
government is the advancement of the
welfare of the peoples of dependent
territories" Evidence suggests, it says,
that IA principle is emerging which is
in advance of old applications of the
''principle of trusteeship based on the
dual mandate of Indigenous and world
interests
ITO be sure" the study adds, de
pendent territories are not admins
tered for reason of philanthropy. But
the practical lessons of 1880 to the
present day show that, as in an indie
pendent country, so i'm dependent
territory, primary consideration to the
welfare and development of the peoples
is good business to all but certain sec
tiOnal interests"
The assumption that it is both de-
sirable and possible to direct economic
policy towards the improvement of
standard of living has the
endorsement of the leaders of the
United Nations, the report points out.
However, it says, the practical appli-
cation of this assumption may be made
slow by the poverty of many colonies
and "the vestige of the tradition that
wealth may be drawn
from the tropics"
Nevertheless" the study declares
lin the groupings for new dynamism
the growing conviction can be found
that the development of colonial wealth
must be dictated by, instead of dictat
ing, the development of popular wei
fare

Abandonment of price control, Green
added, would push the American people
Into a destructive BOBBY trap planted
on the very threshold of postwar pros

The AFL chief cited tremendous
strides" made during the war in in
creasing productivity and in lowering
production costs, said any increases in
operating have been generally met and
for the most part outwelghed by
greater economies and asserted:
"In view of this experience it Is inn
perative that the resumption of pro

suspended i'm the last two and one half
years be made subject TO realistic and
effective price ceilings

"To this end the AFL recommends
the adoption of the following recon-
version price policy:

ing of the American people against
further increases i'm the cost of living
and To assure postwar price levels
most conducive 10 full employment
civilian goods whose production was
suspended soon after Pearl Harbor
and is To be resumed I'm the near future

time production was terminated.
For Temporary Adjustments
Where due 10 small initial volume

avoidable and where II manufactures

initial quarter of production his costs
exceed his full volume operating costs,
the OPA, on the basis of such submis-
sion and finding as 10 the relation To
price adjustments claimed by other
producers in the same line, should pro.
vide a temporary adjustment of the
ceiling for each calendar quarter.
The number of items To be brought
back into production, while relatively
small. is vital to the cost of living and
the standard of living of the people
in the years To come. We must not
allow these essential household uten-
sils to be- priced QUITO T reach of the
mass of consumers. Nor must we nj
low that workers making these goods
be- denied full employment opportunity
by speculative price policies"

Fish Asks Release
Of Men Over 35 Age
Bill Provides For Release OF
Married Men 80 Days
After Defect Of Nuzis

Washington, ID. c. LNS).-Release
of married enlisted men of 81 or older
from active service in the army is
proposed in Il bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Hamilton Fish of New Yor,
just prior TO adjournment Of Congress
until Nov. H. The measure provides
for the release of the men within 30
days after the end of the war with
Germany.
In announcing he was offering the
bill. Rep. Fish told the House:
II believe that all those married
men over - years of age in the Army
should be given priority and prefer
ence OF returning to their families and
their businesses. They are the for
gotten men of the war. They were
taken away from their families, their
homes and their children, and from
the businesses they built up over 10 or
- years and had large investments in,
some of them making 3, 4, : and 10
thousand dollars a year They were
thrown into the service, and those
over-age men have filed our hospitals.
ut seems to me that when the war
with Germany is terminated these men
should be given priority in being re
leased first to get back to their fam
lilies and their children and to save
their businesses.
II think ii makes sense and ! hope
that the Congress will
