Jackson, Miss. (LNS) Apparently

it crime for municipal employees to

Chief of Police Joel ID. Holden dis
missed 40 members of the Jackson
police department when they refused

The 13 remaining members Of the

Ever since | first heard Father
Boland use the trenchant phrase which
is nv text. | have felt that in those
three words, properly understood, lies
the hope of unity, the expression OF
that for which we are fighting and the
way to achieve the Victory for which
we all hope.
Keep America American-this is the
defiant challenge of the finest idea lism
the world has known. 1t is clarion
call to action i'm the fight between the
forces that would destroy and those
which would build man UP to his
proper stature.
Keep America American-thiS Is no
creed of isolatiOniSm, no shutting OF
the gates of the spirit to the problems
of the world, no selfish boarding of our
resources of brain and body for the
use and comfort alone of those already
within our nation.
Keep America American-this does
not mean a yardStick OF nationality by
which to measure our fellow citizens.
The yardstick we must use Is that OF
the spirit-an unsettled devotion to the
credo that all men are created equal.
We are the first selfcreated People in
the world-not segregated by race or
creed or color but bound together by
n common bond of belief that we are
all entitled to the rights and respOn-
sibilities Of freedom.
Keep America American let us
never forget that this nation was
founded on unity, and that to achieve
unity men must act for the good of all,
not as self-seeking groups OF indi-
yiduals.
Keep America American-let us pre-
serve our rights by careful usage OF
them. This country is the land OF lib
erty, not license. Any change must

Paid Holiday Is
Denied Workers

A paid holiday on Monday, July 3
To give workers n long Weekend
leading up To the July Fourth celebra-
tion, has been denied by the Fifth Re
glonal War Labor Board
Unwilling To set II precedent that
promised To bring II deluge of similar
requests, the Regional Boards Wage
Sterilization Division made It's deci-
sion in a test case presented by The
Higbee Co, large Cleveland depart
ment store, which asked permission io
close its store July and grant Il paid
day of to It's 1879 employees.
The ruling, issued by Ray NJ. Suter,
director of the Wage Sterilization Di-
vision, was In accordance with the ma
tional wartime wage code which views
reduction In hour without IA reduc-
tion In pay as the equivalent of pay
increase, and therefore innationary.
Mr.. Suter noted, however, that IA re-
duction In work-hours with II CORE
spending pay reduction could be made
without Board approval. This would
mean that the department store could
grant It's employees the July 3 holiday
only by docking" them for the of
day.
I'VE do not see how we could Justify
10 workers In defense Industries dis
approval of wage demands and re-
quests for payment for time not work
ed and yet permit retail employees
payment for time off before holidays
where such has not been the practice
prior TO the war period" Mr.. Suter
said in ruling addressed to John l..
Murphy, president of The lligbee Co.
"Once the stabilization line Is broken
at any point, II might prove impos-
sible To withhold the deluge that would
ultimately follow" he ruled
The ruling was concurred In by II
tripartte division of the Regional
Board consisting of an industry, labor
and public member The company has
10 days in which to appeal the ruling
10 the full Regional Board and, fall
ing there. IA days In which To appeal

In presenting its application, repre-
sentatiyes OF the company urged APP
proval OF the application on the ground
that Its sales personnel has been under
heavy pressure and that the employees
would benefit from the rest.

broad scope of the order, which was
proposed by Joseph ID. Keenan, and
Clinton S. Golden, labor vice chairmen
representing the American Federation
of Labor and Congress of Industrial
Organizations, respectively.
Seek To Limit Order
Wilson is reported To have tried his
best to have the order affect only
those matters with which labor was
directly concerned, such as absentee
ism and turnover. The labor spokes-
men urged that the new committees be
permitted To advise on all matters af-
fecting production since they felt every
problem of production was of direct
interest to labor
The Office of Labor Production, un-
der the Nelson order, Is set up in the
office of Keenan, who Is vice chairman
for labor production.
The order states that keenan, and
Vice Chairman Golden, I'm charge of
manpower requirements, shall, in con
sultation with the other WPB vice
chairmen, jointly establish plans and
policies and general methods to guide
industry divisions In discharging their
functions with respect To the use or
labor advisory committees.
Functions Listed
The functions OF the labor advisory
committees, it was said would include
consideration of problems affecting the
war production program, the furnish
ing of information and reports to WPB
officers and the review and recon-
mendations based on proposed orders
and programs.
When proposed order, In the opin-
ion OF Keenan, and Golden, would re-
suit In substantial curtailment OF pro-
duction or In expansion OF other
industry, the labor vice chairmen are
permitted To recommend to the direc-
tor Of an industry division consultation
with an appropriate labor advisory
go" luW
In this way, II was felt by the labor
spokesmen that cutbacks and programs
affecting industrial production would
receive the scrutiny OF labor before
changes are made.
Maximum Cooperation Sought
The order points out that the inten-
tion of the formation of the new com
mittees is To obtain the assistance OF
labor i'm the solution OF all WPB
problems and To provide for maximum
between government and
labor In the execution OF official pro-
grams.

Price Control Bill Is
Called Gouge. Rise
In Costs Is Certain
Passage Would Result In In
creased Prices As Wages
Remuin Frozen

Washington (FP)-SOme very r0ugl
shedding Is i'm prospect for the com
promise price control bill recently ap
proved by the joint senate house con
ference committee.
Every effort will be made by bOtf
the AFL and the CIO to get IA presi
Dental veto of the measure If the com
promise accepted by the so-called ad
ministratiOn spokesman is permitted tt
pass both houses.
An AFL official told Federated Press
that the compromise was "a very bad
surrender" and that he felt the total
result of all the individual amendments
leaves a mere shell of price control
while wages remain frozen.
CIO President Philip Murray, In q
formal statement, said the bill ap
proved by the conferees twill control
neither prices nor rents, because II
cannot be enforced"
Agreeing with the AFL position
Murray said this bill preserves only
the pretense, not the practice Of price
control. The authority of OPA to I'm
pose price ceilings is not significantly
altered, but It's power to make anyone
comply with them has been emascu-
lated Consumers will be gOuged be-
cause the OPA will be unable to pro-
tect them"
Murray said the "intent to force
higher living costs upon the American
people Is not concealed by the legal
technicality of the language of these
escape provisions. Their purpose Is
clear, and their effect certain. Those
who would increase their profits and
bring on imitation are to become, in
effect, the plaintiffs against price CON
troll OPA becomes the defendant, and
the consumers the victims.
"The result can be only marked
Only one purpose is served by Il price
control law which does not control
prices. The enactment of such law
viii be relied upon To Justify the con
tinued throttle hold OF the War Labor
Boards present policies upon the
workers OF the nation. But the work
ers themselves will not be misled.
Floating prices and frozen wages can
not long endure side by side under II
democratic form Of government"
Three specific examples Of what can
happen under the compromise legisla-
tion follow:
Ii grants those who are charged
with criminal violations Of the act the
right to protest against the validity of
the regulation they violated. Ii allows
violators to plead they did not violate
the law wilfully, which makes ignor-
ance OF the law n virtue and allows
to take refuge behind the
acts OF their employees.
Another section forces OPA to raise
rents for various obscure reasons,
thereby encouraging landlords in large
numbers to bring demands for rent In
creases before OPA. There will be n
Ileluge of these landlord pleas to lift
rents In rent freeze areas.
The new bin also favors the big
rich corporation over small business
little retail store may make an over
charge Of 81 and be obliged to pay Il
penalty of $25. But manufacturer
who overcharges $1,000 might be re-
Iuired to just pay back the $1,000 IL
egally collected and go scot free.
