How many people know that re-
search in bituminous coal combus-
tion has resulted in at least two in
novations which may be widely uti-
lized after the war? One of these is
smokeless type stove designed for
bituminous coal. Another is a new
style mechanical stoker which comes
under the classification of fully au-
tomato.
Here is an industry which is stead
lily improving the efficiency of the
product it sells. In order to increase
it's output, it strives to reduce unit
consumption and thereby broaden
it's potential markets.

Whence comes the strength that

What basic concepts underlie all that
goes to make up what since Pearl
Harbor has been described as "the
American way of life'-in govern
ment, business, agriculture, educa

1t is likely that persons who have
given careful thought to this sub
ject will probably agree that the
roots of American democracy spring
from local initiative and responsi
bility and that in the small communi-
ty, where citizens know each other
and discuss their mutual problems in
an atmosphere of friendliness, is to
be found the soil in which our poll

tenance and growth.

GOVERNOR LAUNCHES DRIVE
FOR CANNING LABOR
Migrant Worker, Community Effort
Must Supply Needs, Governor
Declares

Plans to augment the available
number of food processing workers
in the State, to meet an estimated
deficiency of $4,000 men and women
have been initiated by Governor Her.
bert r. O'Conor, in conjunction with
officials of the War Manpower Com
mission, the Extension Service of
the University of Maryland, the Farm
Bureau and - the Maryland State
| Grange.
At the request of Governor O'Con-
or, Dr. T. B. Symons, Director of the
Extension Service, represented Mary
land at an Atlantic Coast Conference
held in Raleigh, North Carolina, on
Friday. Representatives of labor and
agriculture along the coast from
Florida to New Jersey drew up ar
rangements under which migrant
workers will be made available to the
States as needed
A similar conference was held last
year at the instance of Governor
O'Conor, through the Council of
results. Hopes are entertained that
good proportion of the needed
workers will be recruited through
| the efforts of this Conference,
Programs to mobilize manpower
in the various communities of the
State, to take care of local labor
needs for canning also were ap-
proved by the Governor.
"Unquestionably, however," Gov
ernor O'Conor said, 1--WE must rely on
the people of Maryland for the bulk
of the extra labor required. 1t is
be secured from further cannery en-
ployees now living on farms or en-
gagged in war industries, who can be
furloughed, so to speak, to help out
in the canning season. The main
source of new labor for the Gamer
les, however, must come from men
and women, and women living in
homes who will be willing to make
the patriotic sacrifices involved in
volunteering to work several days
each week or on scheduled part
time basis during the canning sea-
son.
Where necessary. school authori-
ties, both public and private. will be
requested to help enlist the labor.
In cases of highly perishable foods,
it may be necessary to ask business
houses in the communities concerned
to close at certain times to permit
their employees to help. The thing
that must be borne in mind is that
there is very serious shortage of
available help and very urgent need
for maximum production to care for
home needs and to give the Armed
Forces the 70 to 900 of the States
pack which they will require.
Regardless of any help that may
be secured through the allotment
of war prisoners, it will be incumbent
upon the residents Of our State to
come forward and lend their services
if the State is to do the full job that
is being expected of it in the process
ing of these vital foods"

WHY WILL TAXES BE 500 LESS?
BY j. Il. Jones

Washington, d. c., May 29-The
answer to the above question is:
They won't!
That might be enough to say upon
the subject. But one very wise man
in Washington has said in print; I'm
dividuals will be lucky to get more
than a token tax reduction"
There is almost universal convic-
ton, especially among older people
who bore the experiences of the last
war, that veterans of this war must
be given a square deal" Congress
and the Administration agree to that.
In dollars and cents, standing-by the
veterans will cost the taxpayers per-
haps billions of dollars annually.
The interest on the public debt will
cost another billions and the new
military organization to maintain
billions for the next few years Plans
are being set up for public works,
and public housing on tremendous
scales
Besides, plans are being made
right now for a great world bank
with the United States Government
as the principal stockholder and
banker. Billions and billions re-
quired!
The only people who contradict
statements that taxes will be higher,
do so on the theory that the United
states will inherit a great world
trade. That "ain't' so, either! 1t ism t
80 because all Europe and Asia will
oe poverty stricken after the war,
md they will raise their own food,
manufacture their own goods; and
furnish all possible work that they
an for their own veterans and ci-
silians. OF course they will.
The above are facts-and facts are
better than theories.

Too Many Strikes

Too Many Strikes
Two years ago the two principal
labor unions in their national con-
ventions told the people of America
hat there would be no wartime
strikes. Presidents Green of the
American Federation of Labor, and
Murray of the CIO, were very en-
phatic in making this promise, which
they failed to keep. Presiednt Lewis
of the United Mine Workers ''reser-
we'd" the right to disagree.
Labor troubles and strikes contin-
ued until Congress resisted and pass
ed the Smith -Connally Act in June
of last year. 1t gave statutory back
ing to the War Labor Board and ex-
plicit authority to the President to
enable him to seize war plants threat
ened with strikes. The legislalation
vas intended to promote peaceful re-
iations between employers and work
ers. Nevertheless. the President veto
ed the Act and Congress promptly
over-rode the veto.
The Department has been under
the direction of Secretary Frances
Perkins since 1898. Miss Perkins and
a whole flock of agencies, including
the National War Labor Board, have
oeen kowtowing to the union leaders
who have continued to threaten and
pull off strikes in the war industries.
General Arnold stopped the strikes
of foremen of 13 Detroit war plants
in a brief speech showing how the
war effort was slowed down. What
this country needs is more short
5alks by men like General Arnold.

years, and his work has been help
ul. But he has usually gone round

FBI, which doesn't need any help
from amateurs.
Selective Service Decisions
General Hershey, national direc-
Gor of the Selective Syste, m appar-
emily has a changeable mind-he
knows it and expresses regret be-
cause SO many men are 'allerted."
The draft situation has been almost
understandable for months. 1t ap-
pears that approximately 2,250,OO0
men are in IA, including men of all
ages. The chances are that men over
rs years of age who are in this clas-
sification will be put on a temporary
waiting hst-and nobody knows how
long that plan will last.
Lend-Lease
Both Houses of Congress voted to
extend Lend-Lease for one year from
June 80, but with amendments which
forbid President Roosevelt fr m
making any postwar economic, mill
lary or political commitments for
Aend-Lease settlements. Even the
friends of the President in the Con-
gress have voiced disapproval over
