Labor in its latest monthly survey.
The AFL warns that full production

goes on to say:
although all citizens groups =

agree on the goal of full production
and full employment, little has yet
been done to achieve it.
Jobs At Good Pay Vital
Labor is particularly concerned
about this problem, for our livelihood
depends on jobs at good pay. We know
that unless there is enough buying
power in the hands of the public to
create demand for full production,
there will not be jobs enough for all
after the war.
I'VE know, too, that American
workers buy three-quarters of all the
consumer goods and services produced
by American industry and that, be-
cause the Little Steel formula has

ing rules OF conduct and work regula-

The basis Of Mr. Wells charges was
the fact that some local unions have

eight-hOur day, five-day week work
schedule calling for time and one-half
time in excess of all hours over eight

ly when he charged your National Off

unions that they had no authority To
pass any motion embodying anything
in conflict with all the terms and pro-
visions of our wage agreement.
In fact the February /. 1912 con-
tract under Penalty for Violation OF

Shoes bought with the new ra-
ton stamp Nov. /, will get off to
a good start if kept clean, dry and
polished during the 'breaking i'm
period when the shoe is adjusting
to the foot.
Since shoes lose natural oils
and wear out faster when wet,
they should be protected with
uWsrshoes in bad Gather. Clothing
'Necialists of the us. Department
of Agriculture suggest protective
coatings for smooth-leathered foot
gear new or old. Floor wax
rubbed on sparingly after regular
polishing, helps to preserve dress
or street shoes. For heavy work
shoes, rub in warm tallow or wool
grease, or cd, caster, or neat's-foot
oil.
Suede shoes take beating in
rainy weather. If they get wet,
dry slowly, brush gently and rub
any slicked-down places. with fine
sandpaper. Gentle brushing is
always the rule for suede or fab
