Box Inspires Verse

Thousands of members of the
Willys-Overland Unit serving in
the armed forces have been
gladdened month after month by
the boxes which the Unit sends
them. Thousands of letters of
appreciation have been received
from the boys, but recently, one
of the other fellows, a comrade
of one of the WHY'S boys who
received a box wrote a verse OF
appreciation.
Glenn Simons, formerly of
dept. 81 stationed in the South
Pacific is the one to whom the
box was sent. Here is his bud
dies poem:
A little white slip in the mail
box reads there's a package
awaiting you, Razor blades and
goodies, everything good to
chew.
The rest of the boys were
there, a hungry, moltry crew,
they surely enjoyed the goodies
and send their thanks to you.
Boys it's swell to be remem-
bered and kept on the mailing
list, But it's best to know that
after a year one still has friends
and is missed.

Killing Of Anfi-Labor
Law Credited To Thomos

WASHINGTON (LPA)-State
anti-labor laws were given a
decided setback last week by
President R. J. Thomas, of the
United Auto Workers-CIO, ac-
cording to the Workers Defense
League.
The WDL told Thomas that
his victory will immensely
strengthen labor's fight against
many state and municipal ordi-
nances requiring $4,000 and
$4,000 license fees for union or
ganizers. The Rev. Aron S.
Gilmartin, chairman of the WDL

Thomas and asserted that as a
result of his Supreme Court
victory "all such ordinances are
now clearly unconstitutional"

Spending
Your Buck
Local IL Research Dept.

Judging from the wave of in
dignation which has arisen over
the recent ruling of OPA in can
ceiling all unused stamps a lot
of housewives were caught with
their points down.
The alibi offered that the
present situation is due to over
confidence, may be partly true,
but it is also a fact that that
labor members and other re-
sponsible persons in OPA knew
and warned us months 60 that
any relaxation in food rationing
would lead to even stricter ra-
ton later on. Their warnings
went unheeded.
The plain truth is that OPA
was sold bill of goods by Off
Gals of the War Food Admin
istration whose misrepresenta-
ton of the facts at that time
can only be explained by the
pressure that was being put on
the government by the Gamers
and big cattle raisers who
wanted controls lifted.

GAMERS LEARN

The Gamers who evidently
took notice of how the cotton
textile industry had been
pushing the government around
and getting away with it, de-
cided to do a little pushing
around themselves. After put
ting the AK to grade labelling
with the aid of certain members
of our 18th congress, they went
all out to make big killing in
1914 by doing away with all
rationing.
War Food Administration as
sisted them very ably in this by
quoting blown up figures on
estimated stock piles of food in
Britain. The fact that these
figures, denied by the British,
seemed to make little difference
to w. F. A. who allowed the
exaggerated figures to be used
in Justice Byrnes report to the
President on reconversion, to
prove that food supplies were
adequate for 1945.
The Gamers next threw
bluff that unless rationing was
lifted and these imaginary sur
plusses were used up, they
would not put up a big pack in
IA. AS we all know now their
bluff worked even though the
best authorities in Washington
estimated that all the food stock
piled at that time represented
less than eight percent of one
years United States production.
The fact that the Gamers
have two representatives work
ing in OPA might have some
thing to do with OPA giving in
so easily, however, we do know
tEat every housewife who saved
