Hartford. Conn. Aug. l5.-CUPD- connecti-ut's small industries are operating in ''an unfriendly atmos- phere" of excessive governmental regulations and restrictions, with little incentive to 60 business and still less to expand" Miss Eleanor Little of the state war councils manufacturing committee told mem- bers of the states congressional dele- gation. small plant operators and var council officials at a meeting Monday.
 Reporting on a survey made re- gently of small war plants in the state. Miss Little declared Connecti- cut is in "a critical condition and predicted that after the war com petition will be keener than ever before with many factors tending to favor the middle west"
 Taxation now removes profits, present fixed prices and high labor costs will eliminate them in the postwar period labor conflicts add to tine other irritations and the att titude of the general public under mines all satisfaction to the job, 1" Miss Little said.
 Among specific complaints of the small plant operators were: exceS- give governmental regulations in language unintelligible and toe legalistic; inability to set up res serve funds for reoonyersion and modernization after the war: threat ened competition from neRly-built and more efficient plants in other sections of the country. and the un- eertainty of how the huge goyern- ment-owned suTpluses will be dis- posed of after the war.

generation. The greater the vote, the
more certain we can be that the American
people will elect President and Congress
qualified to meet adequately the great
problems Of the coming years.
In this connection it may not be amiss
to clarity the role of the CIO Political
Action Committee. This committee,
which has been able in less than one year
to advance to the center of the stage in
political affairs, and to become the bogey
of many defeatist and reactionary CON
gressmen, has done so simply by making
known to the people the issues of the day
and awakening them to the realization
that they can have an effect on the out
come of these issues by registering and
by voting.
The charges Of political manipulation"
which have been brought against the
PAC by congressman in whose defeats
the committee played major part, are
best disproved by the single fact that
Attorney-General Biddle cleared the com
mittee of any aspect of illegal political
activity. To quote the committees own
words, its first purpose is to 'Mobilize
the electorate for full and enlightened
participation in the 1914 elections, ma
tional, state and local.
Congressman Howard Smith, author of
the notorious Smith-COnnally Act, has
claimed that the PAC violated the law by
collecting its funds in the form of dona
tions from union treasures This claim
was completely invalidated by the De
partment Of Justice. However, the COM
mittee has recently announced that in
order to remove any possible doubts on
this question, all future funds will be col
lected by voluntary contributions by
union members and other public-spirited
citizens. The committee is certain that
the amount Of money thus raised will far
exceed the $750,000 previously voted by
CIO unions.
Nothing could demonstrate more strong
" the democratic and educational aspects
of the PAC than this show Of support by
the millions of American trade unionists.
Labor in this country has too long placed
exclusive reliance or its economic bar
gaining power It is time that it assumed
it's full rights of citizenship by exercising
the voting strength of its members in an
enlightened casting Of ballots.

EDUCATING THE VOTERS

November Z, 1914, will be a day when
we can once again measure the active in
terest which the American people take in
the cornerstone of our denlocracy-the
presidential and congressional elections.
This is the only serious opportunity pro
vided for us to express our approval or
disapproval of the policies, both foreign
and domestic, which have characterized
our government, and to choose the ma
tion's leadership for the next four years.
It is particularly interesting that June
4, 1914, was the 25th anniversary Of the
passage by Congress of the woman suf-
frage amendment. 1t is even more sig
nificant that this year, according to the
u. S. Bureau Of the Census, there are
more women eligible to vote than there
are men, for the first time in our history.
Correspondingly greater therefore, is
the responsibility of all women's organi-
zations to mobilize the vote for this most
crucial of all elections. This November,
the choice made by the electorate will
almost certainly determine not only
whether full employment, production and
security will prevail after the war, and
not only how speedy and effective will
victory over the Axis be; it may well de-
telmine the course Of the worlds history
for our generation and our children's

Baseball magnates hope the Anglo

over before September so guys standing

about the American VS.. National league
race.
Things are getting too democratic
around here" announced Butch as the
Little Scorpions club prepared to elect
officers for the coming year.
"Whatddayamean, too democratic?'
queried Little Luther
Il mean, we run our club like it was
a democracy, which everyone who reads
Pegler knows is simply mobocracy," Butch
explained
TITS worked pretty we'll" Little Luther
insisted What do you want here, a
Soviet?"
mo, mol" yelled Muggsy Miller, the
kid just back from reform school for
stealing pennies from blind newsman.
Not that"
81 think we ought to have the Little
Scorpions more like a republic, more like
the U. S. government Butch went on.
Don't see much wrong with that Lit
tie Luther said. How would we change
it to make it more like the u S. A.?"
well" Butch suggested, 1--WE don't get
much action in our elections. Somebody
nominates you for president and some
body nominates Muggsy and you win,
and that's all there is to it. I think we
ought to have an electoral college"
whats an electoral college?" asked
a small voice at the back.
'Wen, say we have a Luthocratic par
ty, with Little Luther for the leader, and
Muggsyan party, with Muggsy for the
leader" explained Butch. Then we
don't vote for Luther or Muggsy We
iust vote for the Luthocratic electoral
college delegate or the Muggsyan dele
gate. Then whichever delegate gets elect
ed, he can pick the president"
Sounds sort of complicated" Little
Luther demurred.
Are you an Americana" demanded
Butch.
81 don't see any sense in it," declared
Little Luther. IF you're the LuthocratiC
electoral college delegate and Pee Wees
the Muggsyan delegate, the Little Scor-
pions will vote for you. And when vol
meet with yourself, you'll vote for me
being the delegate of my party"
That's where you're mistaken" Butcf
announced. "As a member Of the clut
devoted to seeing the early institutions
of the republic restored to their propel
place after being trodden underfoot b!
a ruthless dictatorship, would have u
think over very, very carefully who wa!
going to cast my vote for"
"You sound like my old man" said Lit
tie Luther "You guys read too man!
speeches by poll tax Democrats. You tr!
a trick like getting elected on promis
to vote for me, then vote for Muggsy
the guys in this club would kill you"
"That's what I'm afraid Of" admitte
Mllgesy II wish knew how those Texa
Democrats figure on getting away witt
it. I could get you out of office Il
only knew"

Greater Farm
Output Needed
Wor-keeessity
is Stressed

An imperative need for the
maximum possible increase in
farm production as an essential
to United Nations victory, was
the keynote appeal made at the
annual meeting Of the Macomb
County Farm Bureau, held at
the Methodist church in Rich
mond last Thursday.
A program of music, movies
and speech-making was offered
to the capacity audience of $50
farmer members and their wives
who attended. An enjoyable
dinner was served by ladies Of
the Methodist church.
Food subsidies, as debated by
Congress, were criticised as UNI
necessary, un-democratic and
un-American in resolution
passed by the assembly.
Allen Rush, president of the
county farm bureau, presided at
the meeting, at which the prin-
cipal speaker was State Presi-
dent Clarence Reed, of st. Clair
County.
Reed called on Macomb farm
ers to make every effort to build
up farm production and bring
the war TO closer ending. He
warned against bureaucratic
control of farming, and felt that
farmers should be kept free
from too much governmental
dictation.
John Rinke, Of Warren. Ar
thur Rowley, of Richmond and
Harry Green, Of Washington.
were reelected on the bureau
board.
The motion picture. Soldiers
of the Soil" was shown by
County Agricultural Agent Will
liam Murphy, through courtesy
of the Dupont corporation, and
Richmond School Superintend
ent NJ. Grouse provided the NOV
lie machine.
Officials of the farm bureau
announced a membership drive
for next week. The aim of the
bureau is TO keep agriculture on
an even keel by opposing legls-
lation tending to RECOMMENDATION
methods. The bureau believes
in basic farming, as exemplified
by the state and other agricult-
ural colleges.
Wallace Schonschack. OF
Mount Clemens, gave vocal Sc
lections at the meeting.

Seek Safeguards
Against Clinton
River Pollution

Sixteen men, representing va
rious civic organizations, last
night met at the Board of Com
merce office to formulate a pro-
gram for control of speed boats
on the Clinton river and the
adoption Of curbs against the
dumping of refuse into the
stream.
While Norbert p. Neff. Gin
ton river property owner who
instigated the gathering, was un-
able himself, due to illness, to
attend the meeting and present
his proposed program, Gerald j..
Pierre served as temporary
chairman and control plans
were discussed with a view to
adoption of effective curbs
against what some of the men
present described as quite
widespread abuses. Damages to
wharfs. boats and other property
were cited.
Formation of city-wide or
ganization, including repreSen-
tatives of all local civic groups,
was proposed.
Pierre was authorized to con-
tact such organizations with a
view toward presenting a con-
crete program at a future date.

IN ITALY, Jan. 81 -(Delayed)
p The only piano brought
along on the Italian invasion
supplies music for a trucking
outfit. The chief pecker at the
keys is the commander, Lieut..

The piano was picked up prac-

Sgt. Albert O'Neill of RoXbury,
Mass, who has since formed a
small five piece band in the
trucking unit. He managed to get
it loaded aboard ship along with
tanks, guns and other weapons
needed to chase the Germans.

UTICA - What is expected
to be the largest waste paper
collection in this vicinity to date
will be staged in Utica on
Thursday. Business men will
close their place of business for
the afternoon in order that they
may help in the work.
Edward A. SchW ark O I Z,
chairman of the Salvage COM

will bundle newspapers and
flattened cartons, also place all
mixed paper in cardboard box
es or other containers and put
them on their front steps or at
the curb on the morning of that
day. Volunteer collectors will
call for them. Those who can
help in the work of collection
are asked to contact SchWarz-
koff.
The Utica schools are cooper
ating in the project and expect
to have ready and baled four or
five tons for which they are
being paid So per ton.
We are reminded that an inn
