Police Hunt 7 Rings
As Makers Of Millions
Of Fake Gas Coupons
One Plant Is Reported
To Be in New Jersey,
Other in South

Federal officials and police are in
vestigating reports of two gangs be-
heved to be turning out millions of
counterfeit gasoline coupons.
One of the counterfeiting plants,
according to a tip received here, is
believed to be somewhere in New
Jersey. Secret Service and. OPA in
vestlgators are securing that section
i In jail here is Lawrences ",
Whitaker of High Point, N. c..
charged with conspiracy with others
to defraud the United States
through alleged counterfeiting Of
gasoline coupons. When arrested
here by police last Wednesday he
had on him B-2 gasoline coupons
for 10,510 gallons, and $400 In cash,
believed to have been realized from
he sale Of coupons.
Girl Held rs Witness.
Brought before United States
Commissioner Turnage, his case was
continued to April 10. Taken into
custody with Whitaker was a young
girl, who is being held as a witness
at the Woman's Bureau. She will
not be charged with violation, how
ever.
OPA officials are probing what
they believe may be a still larger
ring of counterfeiters somewhere in
the South, which has no connection
with the New Jersey ring. They are
acting on tip that the two gangs
may be at war with each other.
Meantime, the Associated Press
revealed today, hijacking and smug-
Cling of rationed and scarce goods
are reaching alarming proportions.
The articles involved include liquor,
shoes, rayon, nylon, woolen goods,
furs and women's girdles.
Gangster Tactics Used.
The Federal Bureau of Investiga-
zion says the gangster tactics of
prohibition days were child's play
compared with the present situa-
tion.
Thuggery, thieving, trickery, even
murder, are the means by which a
thriving black market is nourished,
officials declare.
Liquor, because'of its scarcity and
higher taxes, has the greatest lure
tor the hijacker and smuggler, and
Is the No. l black market item.
The Treasury's enforcement agen-
cles report that most of the increase
IN smuggling in 1943, compared with
}942, is accounted for in 5,746 seiz-
nres of smuggled liquor.

August Strike Loss
It Is Less Than Before The
War; Caused Mainly BY
Independent Wulkouts

Newspapers this week played up a
Department of Labor report showing
a rise in strikes during August, but
neglected to point out that total losses
were only 12-1OO of | per cent of time
worked during the month.
Aggregate losses were $4,000 man
days, compared to nearly SO0,O0O,OOO
man-days of employment for the
month. Even though the total rose
above July, the loses were still far
less than occurred during the CORE
spending month of any of the three
years prior to Pearl Harbor, the de-
partment revealed.
Furthermore, the principal August
strikes were caused by unions not
affiliated with either the A. +. of L.
or G. |. o. One was staged by an "in-
dependent" organization at the Elec-
tric Boat Company, Groton, Conn. I;
another by former company union"

Boilermuker At 78
Takes Over Wdr Job
Albert M. Dustin Works For
Two Years In California
Airpldne Plant

Thousands of elderly workers have
come out of retirement during the war
and contributed their skill to the war
effort, but one of the most dramatic
instances of that was cited this week
by the "Boilermakers' Journal in its
October issue, just off the press.
The Journals" story told of Albert
NJ. Dustin, one of the Oldest members
Of the International Brotherhood of
Boilermakers, who at the age of rs
went to work in the Douglas Aircraft
plant at Santa Monica, Calf, and for
two years did bang-up job.
Dustin first joined the Boilermakers
back in 1892 when it was a fledgling
union, barely a dozen years old. He
has remained in good standing ever
since, except for brief periods when he
was foreman. He now holds a card
in Local No. II, Minneapolis.
For over 90 years he worked in rail
road shOps-the longest stretch, 20
years, being with the Milwaukee road.
He retired from that road in 1887 and
moved to California to enjoy his de-
clining years i'm peace.
Along came Pearl HarbOr and he
decided to do his bit for the war effort.
Douglas Aircraft snapped him up and
as the Journal pointed out, ION ac-
count Of his ability, he was made Il
trouble shooter over three depart
ments"
After two years, he retired for good
and lately has been visiting friends In
the Midwest. Commenting on his great
work, the Journal declared: These
ire the kind of people who make the
world safe for democracy. More power

tributed To Fewer Man.
Hours Being Worked

Workers won't have to wait until
We day (the day of victory In Europe)
for their pay rolls to shrink. Actually
the decline has been under way for
months, the National War Labor
Board revealed this week
Since last December, when the peak
was reached weekly pay rolls have
declined by S7,40OOo0, or about q per
cent, and the drop Is continuing, the
board declared The decrease was
ascribed to steady fall In man hours
being worked, due 10 cutbacks and
other factors, and To drastic slowing
up of wage increases
In the first quarter of 1914, average
hourly earnings mounted by only IL
cents over the previous quarter, and
only n fraction of that was due TO
raises In pay rates, the board said
The rest came from greater piecework
earnings, due to accelerated produc-
ton, upgrading 10 higher paid jobs,
and other such factors.

Wage Cutting Is
The Surest Way To
Bring Depression
Vice President Advocates
Higher Pay To Mdintdin
Postwar Prosperity

Pittsburgh GLNS). Wage cutting
was denounced as bringer of de-
preston and higher pay advocated to
maintain postwar prosperity, in a
speech by Vice President Wallace at
Carnegie Music Hall here.
Wallace predicted full employment
if all groups cooperate whOleheartedly
and declared, II don't say Roosevelt
will give you full employment, but he
will come lot closer to it than the
other candidate"
Explains Full Employment
He will not depend, like the other
candidate, on giving the green light to
Wall Street" Wallace said, predicting
that 1.-The common folks will not vote
for the man who puts Wall Street first
and the people second
Explaining what he meant by full
employment, the Vice President said :
by full employment, mean put
work in 1916 than were working in
1910 With employment Of that sort
we can produce, according to the De
partment of Commerce, at least 80
per cent more peacetime goods than we
did in 1910 We must produce at
least S17O,O00,OO of peacetime
goods and services in order not only to
have full employment but also to carry
the interest on the war debt easily.
Condemns Pay Cutting
"T'he surest way to bring on de-
preston and make it hard to carry the
interest on the war debt is to cut the
wages of labor.
'One way to maintain postwar pros
perity is to raise wages rather than to
reduce them. l am referring especially
to those whose efficiency has increased
and whose wages have not gone up as
fast as the cost of living.
MANY of us will have to have an
advance in real wages if we are to do
our part in consuming so per cent more
in the way Of peacetime goods than
we did before the war"
