LUTHER

It's terrible the way they
muzzle the poor dogs in the
summertime" said Mr.. Dill
worth, who does have a few
soft spots in his heart.
You're right, Pop" said
Little Luther. They'd do lot
better to put those muzzles on
some of our reactionary states
men"
There you go again." Mr..
Dilworth said sadly. II some
times wonder if you ever heard
of freedom of the press, free
dom of enterprise, freedom of
{. I. ah +. what other freedoms
are there?"
"You wouldn't know" Little
Luther shot back unsympathet-
ically. But l don't mean to
muzzle any Republicans, except
for their own good, Lately
there's been an epidemic of con-
gresSmen and senators going
around and biting themselves. 1t
must be very painful"
Whatever can you mean?"
inquired Mr.. Dilworth.
Il mean," said Little Luther,
"things like Mrs. Luce trying to
take a bite out of President
Roosevelt with her CT Joe and
CT Jim speech. That speech
ended up by biting the lady who
made it. / doubt she can sit
down yet"
Mrs. Luce is very lovely
lady and is no doubt graceful
under the most narrowing cir
cumstances,' Mr.. Dilworth as
serted gallantly.
"And then" continued Little
Luther, there's poor Gov.
Dewey, who said no American
should refuse to run for Presi-
dent. That one sort of bit his
hand a couple days later when
FDR announced he's run.
"And finally" said Little
Luther, there's Sen. Taft, whose
bill to censor all books, maya
zines and news going to the
soldiers and sailors has really
bit him, but bad. Now he's try
ing to say he didn't mean it and
that the army's bunch of old
meanies to obey the law after
he got it passed.
(Which reminds me-" Little
Luther concluded, Il have to
pay my political action assess
ment to the Little Scorpions
Club. Can / put the bite on you
for a buck?"
"They ought to muzZle brats,
too" announced Mr.. DilWorth,
digging down.
Reactionaries have given up
trying to win the Presidency
this year and are concentrating
on getting one of their kind on
the winning ticket as Vice Presi-
dent.
They can't buy the White
House so they want to get
second mortgage on it.

ness and the military in the
controversy, the labor spokes-
men contended that "the avail
ability of manpower can be
checked through the regional
and field machinery of the War
Production Board and the War
ManpoWer Commission. One of
the benefits to be gained from
the extensive local controls on
manpower is that non-military

without any danger to labor re-
quirements of military produc-
ton"
Last week a report was like

unless we now begin orderly
resumption of civilian produc-
ton we can expect that many

posed by selfish business groups
who want to see competitors

Companies May
Keep Vets
From Jobs

WASHINGTON, July i8 -
(LPA)-The greed of insurance
companies, and the desire of en-
ployers to save money will COM
bine to freeze out hundreds of
thousands Of disabled veterans
firm postwar ibs unless they get
together with the labor move
ment to change state accident
compensation laws.
This warning was issued this
week by Robert j. Watt, AFL in
ternational representative in a
speech to a Catholic War Vet
Grams convention in New York.
Watt, who has followed the
course of state accident compen-
sation laws for many years, ex-
planned that most employers
cover the cost of accident COM
pensation by taking out insur-
ance. Companies which handle
such accounts, he said, charge
rates based on risk plus lot of
trimmings" and make tremen-
dous sums in profits.
In order to take the least pos
sible risk, managements and in
surance companies have combin-
ed to weee out older workers,
those with handicaps and in
juries, using this screening" to
pad their own profits.

even minor injuries incurred
during the war, will run into
