scoring Supermen.

THAT SHARP-EYED sof,-
spoken individual is not what
most people believe he is. He
does not drill holes in fences
to see the opponents team IN
action nor does he break into
the schools strong box to steal
the razzle dazzle plays. His .ot
Is one of hard work and sound
mind.
It starts way before the season
opens as he reads up on the vari-
Gus formations which will be
used by the opponents. He
makes detailed charts OF these
formations plus long biblio-
graphy on the squads.
He corresponds with many
other "spies" in various parts OF
the country to get his pre-sea-
SON dope in order and then
comes the first Saturday.
Our hero arrives at the stad-
ium at least an hour and one
half before the kickoff equipped
with several pencils and a note
book prepared with sketches in
ink of the formations the team
he's scouting is known to use.
Then during the action he hasti-
ly marks in pencil the variations
and the success of the plays.
AS HE WATCHES the players
warm up he gets their numbers
properly placed and takes down
notes about the men. This fre-
uuently reveals the long and
short passers, the slow and quick
kickers and some times gives
personnel up.offs or. telf-tales OF
the opposition.
Now with the background

simple. Here are some OF the
things he must look for.
What Is the first play used In
every half?
who charges hardest in the
line?
Toes the center pass well espe-
cially on punts?
What play is called the great

What play do they make the

These facts. produced for the

UNION RESPONSIBILITY

WHEN our nation went to war, representatives
W speaking for unions affiliated with the Amer-
can Federation of Labor gave their solemn pledge
not to strike while the conflict was on. To keep
that pledge labor has done everything humanity
possible, even though collective bargaining was
suspended and our wages frozen.
The Sterilization Act, which tied wages to the
cost of living, has served to make more obvious
wage inequities within plants and between SINH
lar kinds of work in communities. In the interests
of morale many of these inequities have been
corrected The result has been leveling up, with
pioneering groups given no chance to raise new
standards, as has been the procedure under the
evolutionary methods of collective bargaining.
The consequences have been most serious. Wages
no longer even approximate fair share of the
returns from joint work. nor have wage-earners
kept their former place in sharing social progress.
While workers are eager to return to colec-
tive bargaining, they realize they still have re-
sponsbty to help control initiation. Possibilities
of initiation will become increasingly serious as re-
conversion begins so that all wartime controls
cannot be lifted at once.
In this period as unions resume their RESPONSE
bility, there will be need for wise leadership as
well as discipline within union memberships In
this period labor must again determine its own
plans and policies and resume the responsibilities
of free unions.
Upon the wisdom of our decision will depend
our success and continued freedom. We should
not let ourselves become the tools of any political
party or adjuncts of the government.

WAR PRISONERS PROFITS?

IF ONE is to believe the recent statement from
the war department, our government has made
handsome profit on war prisoners who nave
been hired out to farmers and industrial plants
Let's not become too enthusiastic about that re-
port let's have look at the whole picture.
Under the law, war prisoners, when they are
used in civilian work. receive only ~ cents day.
The difference between 80 cents day and the
standard, going wage for the work they perform,
goes to the United States treasury. Thus, If war
prisoner is employed piling boxes in cannery
and if the going rate for such work is ~ cents
an hour, an eight hour day would net the govern
ment $3.50.
1t looks like nice deal for the government
but is it? The government must feed and house
the prisoners in a style equal to that OF American
soldiers in this country. That is the requirement
of the Geneva convention. That isn't all: 1T must
also furnish armed guards, transportation, special
barracks, medical and dental care 1t was recently
estimated by Washington authorities that it costs
$24 day to care for war prisoner at work In an
American factory or on an American farm. Ii this
is true, the government actually loses $3.50 a day
on each prisoner so employed. Any way you look
at it, the cost of maintaining war prisoner In in
dustry surely must far exceed the profit the gov
ernment makes on his wages
1t will be argued that it is necessary to use
war prisoners on farms and In factories because
of the shortage of manpOwer Undoubtedly there
is color Of truth in this claim However, there
is also good reason to believe that the eagerness
with which some industrialists seek the services
of war prisoners indicates desire for slave labor
and yearning to keep the wages Of free workers
down. Think that over
The use of war prisoners the farms
presents another interesting fact. The big farm
organizations are almost unanimously opposed to
subsidies that benefit the working people. Yet,
every time they put war prisoner to work they
receive subsidy. They get the services OF the
prisoner at the going, low wage for farm workers
and the government subsidies the farmer by pay
ing the most of maintaining the prisoner.

ABOUT YOUR LIVING COSTS

TT MUST have amused the working folks of the
Northwest to read in the newspapers the other
day that a government bureau says the cost OF
living has gone down two tenths of one percent
The report of course, is untrue, as all OF us know
There is no prospect for lower living costS.
Everything points to further increases.
Some of us may have hoped for lower clothing
prices when the War Production Board and the
OPA got together to order the manufacture OF
additional low-coSt items of wearing apparel. Inc
plan sounded fine. 1t now appears that 1t was
noise and little, if any, action.
The textile companies have not been ordered
to produce good grade, low-cost materials from
which low-cost clothing may be made. Instead
they have been given the authority to continue
making frily short-wear Iayon Junk TO sell at
high prices No quotas have been set on luxury
goods and this is an open invitation to divert ma
terals to those lines. There are no quality con-
trolls Manufacturers continue to get manpoWer
priority to produce rayons to sell at high prices,
mems suits to sell at S55 and woolen work shirts
to sell at $3.50 No provisions have been made to
enforce the order to return to low cost clothing
manufacture. SO, you see, prices are not coming
down; you will not be able to buy moderately
priced items
The only honest answer, insofar as American
working people are concerned is to raise wages.
To cling to the vicious Little Steel Formula IN
the face of known increases in living costs is both
stupid and unjust.

Lobbyists representing many different profit

the national capitol. Without exception, however,
they are unanimous in their support of the Little

that's their philosophy.
We do not pretend to believe that the OPA is
