Drought Hard
On Fish

COLUMBUS, July 25-"Due
to the dro ught prevailing
throughout the State for the
past six weeks, practically all
streams and water courses are
far below their normal flow for
this season of the year." says
7. G. Gallagher, Chief of the
Pollution Section of the Division
of Conservation, land many
sizeable streams arc in con-
dition of disconnected pools
with large accumulations of
duckweed indicating little or no
flow"
High water temperatures
also prevail with consequent
low oxygen solubility. Aggra-
waited stream pollution under
these circumstances only could
be expected and numerous in
spections by the Stream Pollu-
ton Section confirm this stu
alton.
Streams which under normal
flow conditions can take care
of the normal amount of domes-
tic sewage and industrial wastes
entering them, without serious
hazard to aquatic life, are now
in no condition to do so and
fish killings are being reported
fom locations where none have
occurred previously.
"In some of the disconnected
pools, observed during the past
few weeks, natural decomposi-
ton of vegetation has appar-
emily depleted the dissolved
oxygen beyond the danger point
required for fish life. Field men
are saving as many of the inn
periled fish as possible by trans
fer to wholesome waters. Local
sportsmen can be of great help
in this work.

Warn Of Forest
Fire Danger

WOOSTER, July 90. A.
Alderman, State Forester of
Wooster, has appealed for ex-
ira caution with the use of fire
in the woods and fields of Ohio,
declaraing that the prolonged
drought has made doubly haz-
ardous the danger of forest and
crop fires. To meet the situa-
ton all available manpower has
been assigned to guarding
against and fighting increasing
ly frequent outbreaks. In many
points of especial danger high
school boys are volunteering
their services, and all of the
Ohio Conservation Division
field men have been instructed
to cooperate with the forestry
men in meeting local emer-
gencies.
Forest fire seasons normally
occur in the fall and spring, but
tinder-like conditions in woods
and field make this off-season
especially dangerous. Some of
these outbreaks not only threat
en- loss of valuable forests and
crops, but often wipe out farm
buildings, the authorities point
out,

Gamers Pull
Sneak TO
Gyp Public
WASHINGTON, July "a,

WASHINGTON, July "a, =
(LPA)-The powerful Gamers
lobby pulled fast one on the
nations consumers during the
dying hours of Congress in June
and as a result they may get
away with one of the most out
rageous food gyps since the
Hoover Administration
The fast one is the Taber
amendment to the OPA approp-
riations act, and its effect is to
bar OPA from using govern
ment quality standards in the
determination of price ceilings.
This means that OPA may be
compelled to base its prices on
commercial standards which
have in the past been notorious
ly meaningless. The customer
will be paying top quality prices
for low quality canned fruits
and vegetables.
Congress in Hurry
Labor and consumer groups
successfully fought off similar
amendments supported by the
Gamers lobby when they were
introduced in the long fight for
extension of the price control
act which ended just a week be-
fore Congress recessed. Congress
was in hurry to get home and
start electioneering or to attend
the conventions. None wanted a
battle over the Taber amend
ment that would keep them in
session for days or perhaps
! weeks.
Even before the Taber amend
ment was passed the govern
ment had indicted several huge
canning firms for misrepresent-
ing the quality of their product.
This gypping on quality has
been rapid ly increasing for
months, according to consumer
groups.
The OPA Labor Policy Com
mittee has refused to take this
theft lying down. Labor repre-
sentatives here point out that
last year Economic Sterilization
Director VinSon ordered meat
labelling when OPA was in a
similar fix as a result of the
passage of the Taft amendment
on grade labelling.

this week by the American
Federation of Labor.
This threat to the future
opportunity of both returning
servicemen and war industry
workers is pointed out in La
bor's Monthly Survey" for July.
Meanwhile, the United Steel
workers of America, CIO, have
presented their case for wage
raises above the famous Little
Steel formula" to the War La
Dor Board. Around these two
issues - the question of how
much the cost of living has
gone up, and demands that the
War Labor Board give up the
Little Steel Formula" in keep
ing wages down-reSts the la
Dor movements case. Both CIO
and AFL maintain that the only
part of the wartime economic
stabilization program that has
held up has been the ceiling on
wages. Both parts of the labor
movement urge pay raises to a
level that meets the rise in liv-
ing costs, and stabilization at
that level.
Committee DeadlOcked
A report is also current in
Washington this week that the
Presidents Cost of Living Com
mittee, which was set up nine
months ago to settle the fight
over the reasonableness of the
governments cost of living in
dex, is still deadlocked The
committee, headed by War La
Dor Board chairman Davis, with
two labor and two management
members, has had three reports
conflicting in many respects be-
fore it. One is from its labor
members, George Meany of the
AFL and r. j. Thomas of the
CIO. The second is from the
Labor Departments Bureau of
Labor Statistics, whose figures
are too low, the unions claim.
The third is from a COMMITTEES
Of technical experts set up by
Davis. The Presidents Com
mittee at its last meeting voted
unanimously to get together the

Wanna Hunt
A Deer !?

LANSING, July IS - Deer
with antlers may be hunted
with bows and arrows in all
southern Michigan counties next
November l to IA inclusive.
The conservation commission
has approved an open season on
deer in the southern part of the
state as a control measure. The
animals are increasing in sew
eral areas, notably in Livings-
ton county, and are the cause of
considerable scattered crop
damage.
The conservation department
recently reported that deer are
present in every Michigan
county.
The special bow and arrow
season in Allegan county, first
southern Michigan county to be
opened for taking of deer with
antlers, will continue from No
vember to 80 "a in past years.
The gun season, north of the
Muskegon-Bay City line, will be
from November Is to 80, fol-
low by a special gun season for
sntlerless deer in Allegan coun-
ty from December ! to 10.

Plan
Boosts Prices

WASHINGTON, July 25 -
(LPA)-War workers will have
to pay as much as 25% more
for houses under the new "H-2"
program of the National Hous-
ing Agency (NHA) announced
here this week, it was charged
by Harry c. Bates, chairman of
the AFL's Housing Committee.
In addition, Bates charged
that houses constructed under
the program would be of SUD
standard wartime construction"
and without the safeguards of
minimum standards of space,
design, structural SCUM d ness
and durability
The MIA says that the pro-
gram was intended to meet
problems of communities where
high construction costs pro-
hibit the production of priority
housing to sell or rent at these
levels"
Ceilings could be raised from
$4,000 to $500 by contractors
in selling houses built under
these priorities.

Ohio Second
In Fishing
Licenses

COLUMBUS, July 25-Ohio
was second among the States in
the total number of fishing
licenses sold during the year
which ended June 30, 1943,
with 67,l55, exceeded only by
Michigan with 719,441.
In receipts from this source,
however, Ohio ranked fifth, be-
hind California a, Minnesota,
Michigan, Wisconsin and New
York, because those states have
higher license rates than Ohio's
soc fee. For example, Cali
fornia, the top state, with a
total of 431,333 licenses, took
in 1871, ,157 as against Ohio with
667,15 licenses issued and an
income of $414,4 ,484. Michigan
with 1894 licenses issued re-
ceived $738, 068 in fees.

Spending
Your Buck
RENT CONTROL
Local IL Research Dept.


Evidences of the new price
control act come to hand in the
Toledo municipal court where
the judges are beginning to
grant eviction notices with a
lavish hand despite the protests
of the OPA.
Reports reaching this depart
ment indicate that the judges
are not showing a great amount
of hesitation in playing along
with the landlords and are not
showing much of respect for the
OPA, which certainly has had
its teeth pulled by the Price
Control Extension Act
No doubt the court is acting
within its rights, but in so doing
confirms what was said here
before, that the extension act
has taken all the effectiveness
out of rent control.
With election a few short
weeks in the offing, we cannot
expect that the President will
carry out his promise to
strengthen the enforcement of
the OPA at this time. Of course,
the reports of the weakening of
OPA are not general enough at
this time to warrant the Presi-
dent sticking his neck out, par
ticularly with the present con-
gress.
1t is our hope that the next
congress will contain a sizeable
Democratic and liberal majority
which will reexamine the whole
structure of the OPA and put
some zip into it. In the mean
time, watch the evictions in
crease.

How To Win
Foscisfs And
AIienofe Labor

Whenever the CIO Retail
and Wholesale Workers begin
to organize the Montgomery
Ward Workers in a new city
they expect to be greeted by
full page ads in the daily pa
pers characterizing the CIO
as the worst calamity that has
struck the earth since the
Fall of Man.
Usually the adds are writ
ten in the hysterical lam
guage of a revival evangelist
warning a bunch of sinners
against a fate worse than
death.
Recently the United Retail,
Wholesale and Department
Store Employees (CIO) start
ed to organize the Montgom-
cry Ward Plant in Fort
Worth, Texas. One of the
first things that greeted them
was a screaming full page ad
in the Fort Worth Press,
Scripps-Howard paper.
Keep Texas Free
The headline was expected;
in huge black type-"HOW
YOU CAN KEEP TEXAS
FREE OF CIO DONNA
TON" But this time the bot
tom line didn't read Mont
gomery Ward. 1t was signed
Regular Democrats of Tex
as" the anti-Roosevelt crew
that walked out of the Demo
cratic National Convention.
Union leaders are more than
a little interested in whether
Montgomery Ward m ey
paid for the ad in full or in
part.
For sheer nasty language,
however, the Montgomery
Ward ads that appeared in
the North cannot compare
with the following:
"HOW YOU CAN STOP
FORCED RACIAL EQUAL
ITY IN THE SOUTH
"HOW YOU CAN KILL
THE EVIL GROWTH OF
DICTATORSHIP IN A FREE
AMERICA
"The CIO is reported to be
sending a hundred thousand
dollars into Texas to "fix
things for our precinct con-
ventions .
Smash every crawling
tentacle of this monstrous
parasite.
Never has vigilance and
courage been more needed,
now that danger to your free
dom is here, not coming-it's
HERE!
Before you elect your
delegate know how he or she
stands on these vital issues:
Il Does he want the CIO
brand on the State of Texas?
2 Does he favor negro
white equality in the South?
Does he favor destroying our
segregation laws?
And the men who smeared
this Nazi-like propaganda
over a full page in a daily
paper called tn m e I've S
