Cereal Producers
AT Peak Rate
U. S. Survey Indicates
Good Sales Outlook

NEW YORK. Sept. S-A favor
able postwar outlook awaits
manufacturers Of bre kfast
cereals. according 10 data con-
tanned in a recent survey OF the
industry by the Department OF
Commerce,
The study points out that the
manufacture Of hot and ready-to-
serve cereals is a bigger enter
prise in the L. s. than in any
other country, and that production
in l945 will be as high--if not
higher-than the record peak OF
1900. 100000 pounds packaaed
in 1914.
Importance of the trade to the
commodity markets is suggested
by figures showing that, in 1874,
manufacturers bought 81, 200. 900
bushels of oats, 100000 bushels
of corn. 12,l00,000 bushels OF
wheat. 1,470,000 bushels Of rice.
10000 bushels Of barley and
204, ,992 bushels OF rye.
Unlike many other food indus.
tries during the war. the cereal
trade was fortunate in having
enough raw materials to meet al
most all demands. Chief limiting
factors. a wartime shortage OF
container board and manpowers
are now remedied and with the
anticipated maintenance Of peace
time purchasing power the indus
try should look forward to a
continuing high level Of sales.

Air Conditioning Used

The Indian mine descends
more than 5000 feet below the
earth. In the lower shafts air
conditioning was necessary, be-
cause Of the extreme heat. The
temperature reached 80 de-
grees az the lowest depth of
$50 feet. We were told that
the temperature rises about one
degree every $50 feet.
II is hard TO conceive the ire
mendous amount of machinery
necessary for the refinement of
gold. Perhaps the, best way 10
bring home the immensity of
the job is 10 merely say that
the average large producing
mill costs upwards of 81. 1.0O0.-
600. II is a far cry from the
old pioneer days when il was
virtually hand operation.
For example the big electric
engine which runs the hoists at
Wrlght-Hargreaves weighs over
20 tons and develops l-375
horsepower.

Weaknesses Revealed
in NWLB Decision
By LEWIS HANEY


Professor ~ Economics, n. UtniVefsi'y
A nice letter has just come 70
me from Edwin Witte. public mem
Der of the National War Labor
Board. II concerns my column
printed i'm the Washington Times
Herald in which l criticized the
decision of the board requiring a
shoe chain 10 pay guaranteed
annual wages
The gist of the point Witte
makes is that because the COM
pany at one time agreed 10 the
annual wage idea in principle, and
because il has applied the idea in
part, therefore, IL should be COM
PEELED by government 10 accept
the scheme as a whole, now and
7 in the future.
Fortunately, Witte believes that
had not seen the boards decision
and therefore sends me a copy. II
refreShes my mind and saves the
trouble Of sending for the evil
dence The decision" " prepared
! by Witte himselD is the proof OF
the point made originally
namely that il looks toward fas-
tening guaranteed annual wages

A LIBERAL POLICY

In the statement of the COM
pany's position. it specifically OBJ
jected to each and every clause OF
the proposed order, and later said
"the company is unalterably op'
posed 10 the provisions" The
union statement says that the
company went back on its agree
thing about business!
The fact is that the company
refused to give up its right to lay
off employees when not required
by the business, or as the union
put it, 'it wishes to have the right
to arbitrate permanent layoffs il
the business conditions dictate
such a course"

TELLS 2 WEAKNESSES

Two great weaknesses Of gov
ernmekt bureaus and bureaucrats
stand out: - They avoid fornu-
lation of general principles and
make a virtue OF deciding every
case on its own facts" so that
each as a peculiar case; ~
They are deluded into imagining
that their decision" are funda-
mental and decisive part of the
social order. AS a result of the
first characteristic. they seek to
avoid the burden of being con-
siksnt and orderly.
Briefly, my reply to Witte is
that, contrary 10 his basic conten-
ton. III ere is nothing peculiar
a houi-the facts in the Melville
Shoe Corp case. Furthermore, ]
will say that even if the facts had
been peculiar, they would furnish
no warrant for such a peculiar de-
cision.
The main peculiarly" alleged
by Witte is, TO use his own words
"a statement by the company to
the effect that only the guaran-
teed employment plan we ordered
is now in effect in its stores. but
that il it had no objection 10 ifeiHd-
ing such a guarantee in its agree
ment with the union.

putting its labor back TO work

located men war workers but also
It's returning serVlcemen.

produce sufficient quantity OF
goods to supply the demand.

other nations for the goods Amer
lea will produce, some 100000
American families will be clamor-

in that group are some 10000, 900
young couples married in war
time, who never have set up

days ahead.
