Returns to dairy farmers will be
materially higher in the August
December period this year than
during the same time last year as
dairy production payments were
not started until October, 1913,
according to the u. S. Department
of Agriculture.
Higher prices received by dairy
farmers, accompanied by increaS-
ed dairy production payments be-
ginning September 1 probably will
cause livestock feed prices rations
to continue more favorable for
dairy production than other live
stock enterprises, the BAE advises.
County AAA offices are now
prepared to make dairy production
payments for the July-August Pc
riod. Payments will be As cents a
hundred for whole milk and 6
cents for butterfat. These rates
were increased to new highs of 20
cents hundred for whole milk
and for 10 cents a pound for but
terfat beginning September /.

Rotenone imports for 1945 are
expected to be slightly higher than
for the year 1914, while the pro-
duction of superphosphate fertiliz-

by Walter L. CLICK

This week we have several items
of information that should be OF
interest to all of us.
One of the questions raised this
past week was by a farmer who
wanted to raise mint, using an ov-
erhead sprinkling system. He won
dered if the irrigation water run
ming directly down on the leaves
would have a tendency to wash or
dissolve some of the oil from the
mint. The County Agent, not hav-
ing the information, has referred
this problem to the State Exten-
sion specialist who will look up the
answer.
Some of the farmers OF Benton
county could well consider the
drive being made in the state to in
crease next seasons output and
reduce feed waste by wedding out
scrub" or inferior breeding stock.
Major points of the campaign
are:
Eliminate inferior or scrub stock

parents produce scrub pigs which

women available in the local labor
market, according to Director
Staley of the u. S. Employment
Office in Cumberland. Many of
the jobs now held by men must
inevitably be taken over by wom-
en- before the war is over. The
local recognizes this necessity.
But, instead of developing a
policy jointly with the union, Man.
agement has introduced women in
such way as to seem to threaten
long-established union customs and
privileges. Why was it necessary
for the man with the greatest
seniority in Engineering Stores TO
be replaced, when he was not even
of draft age?
1t has even happened that on
plea of "manpower shortage" the
company shifted men off one job
and onto another where women
were already working. Naturally,
such tactics are mediation to
trouble.
PLANT STILL ON 40 HOURS
It Is difficult to convince the
average Celanese worker that
manp0wer crisis exists when
the standard time ut the plant IL
still 40 hours per week.
Several dozen workers have been
furloughed in Downtwist in the
last few weeks following months
of short time. No special effort
has been made to absorb these
workers into the other depart
ments in such a way as to assure
them seniority rights. Some Of
them will be prevented from ac-
quiring seniority rights at all,
precisely by these layoffs.
Yet the company has made ar
rangements in the past by which
The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1944-03-27

workers were moved from one de-
partment to another on temporary
loan; or IL the workers preferred,
they could get a permanent trans
fer.
Instead of making special efforts
TO keep workers on the job, the
management is apparently using
any small pretext to fire them.
Only recently. workers have been
fired for such trifiing things as
saying a vulgar word to a fore
man, or allegedly going too often
to the Mushroom. A department
head was fired for taking the part
Of a man who was caught in this

year by government experts, but
Spinning Room leaders say that
they have never seen the report.

Old-timers I'm the Spinning
Room are accustomed to digestive
troubles which they attribute to
the fumes. On top Of the ma
chimes the fumes are SO thick
that jet wipers become dizzy
with them. Spinners say that
when they blow their noses,
blood comes out. They have TO
lie down for a time on arriving
home to let the effects Of the
fumes pass off.
This is the effect on men. What
is the effect on women?
The position Of Local 1874 should
in my opinion take the following
lines:
az. The local will make every
effort to help the war along. IT
will not interfere with war pro-
duction, and Il will seek to aid
the Army in getting all the men
IL needs. This was the action of
the membership meeting Feb. 10
and the union still sticks to Its
position.
(2) The local believes that
many of the issues artificially
created by the cOmpany's provo
cative attitude could be settled
amicably If the company would
start from the same premise.
