At the same time, he has intimated to the War Labor Board that the wage increase for steel workers should be held down to only three cents an hour. AS a result, grate- ful steel magnates have gone tc elder statesman Bernard Baruch and urged him to promote Bowles for the war demobilization job.
 No decision has been made But whoever gets the job will have the power to affect the economic life of the nation more than any other man in years.
 NOTE-If Bowles does get the job, Judge Marvin Jones, who has differed drastically with Chester will resign as War Food Adminis- trator.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12

Benef!c aspects rule the early hours, bl. the day is not important in planetary guidance. The stars smile on persons who exercise au- thority
 HEART AND HOME: Sensitive wor1en will reflect the war moods 0f this month which will bring eX- traordinary anxietles to many fam flies. This is a time to contemplate the future, which holds much prom ise as new world evolves from the waste and devastation Of a long conflict.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Wage earners who have enjoyed large re- turns for their work should con- serve their resources. They will benefit through large investments in War Bonds. Sudden endings ot war jobs are a future contingency that should not be ignored.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Intermar- riages of many sorts will cause anxiety in American families but the stars appear to presage amaz- ingly good results from the inter- mingling of persons of widely diff ferent ancestries The planetary signs that indicate the removal Of social bars in all parts of the civil ized world are powerful in erasing time race prejudices.
 INTERNATIONAL Al FAIR s Again astrologers warn that des- perat foes will have recourse to barbaric methods of warfare. Nazi scientists will continue to contribute death-dealing devices to the Ger man forces and it is foretold that before the final defeat of Hitler the United States will be subjected to some sort of attack or disaster
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of sue : cess, much of which is attained in novel ways. Love interests will prosper.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will reach the goals of fine ambitions but they will meet many obstacles that test their endurance

 Four different speeches have now been released to the press by Dewey's headquarters in New York before they were read and revised by the men who were to deliver them The speeches were those of Governors Warren of California, Baldwin of Connecticut, Green of Illinois, and Rep. Dirksen of H. linois.
 Republican Congressman have sent word to Dewey that, for years, they have been harping on one man dictatorship in the White House, and they don't want this turned around and used against them. MT. Brownell's headquarters, they say privately, has now played right into the hands of the Demo- crats, who can claim that Dewey doesn't even want the Governors of States to write their own speeches.
 Governor Warren, who frankly admitted he could not explain why Dewey headquarters in New York released his speech without even giving him time to read it, later toned down considerably the pro- posed blast in it against Sidney Hillman and the CIO. The other Governors also did some toning down of their speeches.
 No explanation was given, but in California Warren ran for Cover nor on the Democratic ticket as well sas the Republican and had considerable CIO support. Also, it has now developed that Sidney L U II l U U . V |o,OOO eo Dewey's election as District Attor- ney in New York in 1887, while in Massachusetts, Governor Salton- stall gladly accepted CIO support in 1942.
 Fair-minded Rep. Everett Dirk sen of Illinois got up on the floor of Congress to correct published accounts of a speech he made at old Orchard, Maine, criticizing the President for using the Navy for campaign purposes. He explained that the speech was given to the press in an incorrect" form. In other words, he also got prepared speech from Dewey headquarters which. he refused to deliver in it's original form.

has reserved the right change the rules at any time without notice
 Richard H Hanna, former justice of the New Mexico Supreme Court, has been appointed by Ickes to preside at the hearings. Hanna acted some time ago in a similar capacity for the Department in hearings in his own State.
 For the last TT years white settlers have home steaded mined fished and otherwise developed Alaska to what it is today, acting under laws enacted by the United States Government for the orderly devel opment of the Territory If this procedure is to be now declared null and void will have to go back to the first means used in making use of the land by dealing with the Indians, making agreements with the Indians.
 But this is not all of the story. The Interior Department considers the Indians of Alaska wards of the Department. So in reality, Federal agency will have control of the land
 It is apparent that this theory of aboriginal rights did not originate with the Indians up here who have been named as petitioners It cooked up in Washington, D. c. The Indians don't know anything about it. It is as bewildering to them as it is to other Alaskans
 It is simply neat scheme to put more huge land in Alaska under government administration, 
 We do not see how such scheme can be carried through But anything happen in Alaska. We are certain of enc thing every Alaskan must do all within his power to defeat it.
 It was unfortunate for the Department of the Interior that the Crown Zellerbach company chose this time investigate the possibility at the invita- tion of the Forest Service, of investing about S20 million in pulp paper project in the area in ques- tion Obviously the turning of this land to the exclusive of the Indians would make such a project impossible This is example which strikes home at the right time.
 We congratulate all political candidates who have had the guts to take a firm stand this question. It is certainly a stand which will lose votes in tomorrow's election. But the only remedy for this blight on the development of the Territory is through legislative channels
 It is high time that the legislative branch of our government slapped down an attempt by an administrative agency to make the law first then ask l for law to be passed approving the action. Our government is divided into three branches by the Constitution. l. The legislative branch which makes the laws 9 The administrative executive l branch which puts these laws into effect. 3. The judicial branch which enforces these laws.
 The legislative branch is all-powerful in democ- racy When any administrative agent takes the law into his own hands, in this case that agent assumes powers not given by the people, hence dictatoria powers.

Where in hell were YOU Sun
day, Feb. 6, the date of the last
Spicer Unit meeting? The prob
lens facing the workers in this
shop today may not be quite as
apparent as some we have con-
quered in the past but they are
even more important. We are well
aware of the answers to the above
question, having taken survey OF
about a hundred workers in the
plant, asking them O Why don't
you attend Unit meetings? and
(2) What do you think can be
done to remedy the situation?
Many of the answers were, OF
course, self justifications, but a
surprising number of the boys had
some very keen observations to
make about the state of affairs in
Spicer Unit.
We believe it is about time, in
the interests of Spicer workmen,
to launch an investigation into the
basic reasons behind poor meeting
attendance, constant squabbling
and peanut politics, our inability
to transact the business necessary
to our own welfare, let alone join
ing with other organized workers
on a local or nationwide basis to
elect public officers and to fight
anti-labor legislation,
Spicer Unit cannot live within
it's own little shell. The powers op-
posing us do not limit themselves
in such a manner. A national elec-
ton faces us this fall. We must
prepare for it.

NOMINATIONS

AT our last Champion meeting
there were twenty seven eligible
candidates nominated for the EX-
ecutive Committee. Out of this
long list of candidates nine will be
elected to hold office. All members
therefore should study this
list Of candidates with great care.
Do not pick just any nine men be-
cause they happen to be friends of
yours regardless of their ability.
Pick the nine men who you sin
cerely believe most capable Of
offering you the best leadership
through 1914. Then on February
21st and 22nd go to the voting
booth and cast your votes with
intelligence and confidence. Don't
pick the last nine or the first
nine on the ballot because you do
not know who to vote for. Make
it your business to know your
candidates well and then vote
accordingly.

On The
Surface

We regret deeply the sickness
which has overtaken Cloyce Haley
His doctor has ordered him to bed
for ten days on the threat that his
life depends on doing so. We are
all pulling for you, Cloyce. An
other brother we offer our sym
pathy to is Roy Smith. Luck such
as he and his family have had
shouldn't happen even to a dog. We
are all pulling on your side, Roy.
March II may be st. Patrick's
day to most people but to the EN-
ployees of Surface it will be the
day that really puts hole in the
payroll personnel. That will be our
Army Day. Perhaps someone can
tell us why the boys all prefer the
Navy to the Army. Personally,
your reporter believes that Wayne
Snow of the Navy recruiting Of
flee may have a great deal to do
with this situation.
At this reading you probably
know the answer that the War La
Dor Board has given in our case.
Look for the special meeting to be
held soon. We have been keeping
our fingers crossed for this occa-
sion.
Why is it that 5000 many of
our brothers are having to work
part time at other jobs? The 40
hour week at Surface, after deduc-
tions, leaves such a small pay
check that the boys can't meet
their current expenses on the take
home. After all, that is what
counts when you go to the grocer.
BY the looks of the fabrication
floor, Surface is apparently get
ting ready for a conversion into a
dance pavilion.
1t looks as though Jack Yoakum
is the up and coming bowler of the
Surface. There isn't tournament
that ne doesn't appear In. Lots of
luck for bigger and better scores.
1t is evident that in some depart
ments our members are asleep. In
some departments the unions work
is carried on with a minimum of
confusion; in others, the members
seem to have no concept of the
duties of union membership.
Completing our dissertation for
the week, we cannot fail to men
tion Martin Aren't, who we still
look forward to seeing soon.
To our brothers and sisters at
Swartzbaugh-keep your chins up,
kids, the "boss" will have to come
through some day.

are blamed for deliberate slow
downs, when what really is hap
pening is that the manufacturer
is actually trying to undermine
the union into a sense of false op-

workers, don't be too elated when

back. Grin and bear it.
