At one station, near

65-Cent Wage Floor
Proposed By Senators

Washington, D. ca joint resolu-
tion directing the National War La
Dor Board, in passing on requests for
wage increases, to consider any rate
below 65 cents an hour as "substand-
ard" was offered in the Senate this
week by Senators Claude Pepper,
Robert M LaFollette and Olin D.
Johnston.
The proposed rate, Pepper said, is
the rock-bottom minimum for SUBJ
sistence. That fact, he recalled, was
demonstrated by Senate committee
which last summer investigated the
plight of low-wage workers.
Organized labor is supporting the
Pepper Toilette ohnston proposal.
Under the Wage-Hour Act, the le-
gal minimum is 40 cents an hour. In
many cases the War Labor Board has
granted a minimum of SO cents an
hour, and has now boosted the "fioor"
to 55 cents.

Navy Making Plans
To Hire Veterans
At Yards, DepOts

Washington, d. C. (ILNS). Plans
to hire returning veterans with re-
employment rights, including those
who have become handicapped through
war injuries ARE being developed by
the Navy's Division of Shore Estab-
lishments and Civilian Personnel. 1t
is this division which administers the
employment of about 100000 civilians
in Navy shipyards, ammunition de-
pots, supply stations, air bases and
other related activities.
Rear Admiral Frederick G. Crisp,
USN director of the division, has di-
rected personnel officers at all Navy
shore establishments to study plans
for the appointment of a civilian vet
eran placement adviser in each activ-
ity. At the same time he called at
tention to the Importance Of proper
planning to assure the best possible
placement, utilization and adjustment
of the large number Of returning vet
erans who will be added to the forces
of all shore stations.

from soldiers and recalled planes and
tanks.
They are doing SO much for US.
We can do so little for them, really.
We cannot be with them; we cannot
help them in their personal battles
for courage and wisdom. We cannot
feed them when they are hungry, or
care for them when they are wound
ed. But we can see that they have
whatever they need to defeat the
enemy. And we can give them the
knowledge that our dollars are be-
hind them and that our dollars will
stay behind them.
So let US hold onto our war bonds,
come what may. If you cash in even
one bond, you are cheating not only
of course you lose
money by this-but every Allied fight
ing man. We cannot, we must not,
cheat those men of victory.

script workers now-why not con-
script industry too? Shall we again
have nation half slave and half
free?
If this dangerous and potent legis-
lation (potent with danger for free
labor) is passed we cannot throw all
the blame on the President and the
Brass Hats. After all, our Congress-
men are supposed to be capable of
doing little thinking for themselves.
And labor should know by this time
that it cannot just sit back and rest
on it's past gains. Labor must be
forever vigilant to protect those gains.
We must defend our position even as
we establish it and our slogan must
ever be "Forward-not back!"

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

But let's not kid ourselves about
what we are fighting for. We are
fighting to assure our people that no
nation, no matter how crazy their mil
itary leaders might become, can at
tack our people or our outposts and
get away with it. And before we are
through with them they will believe
that just as fervently as we do.
GAS we lift wartime controls we
must determine what economic func-
tions we shall assign to the govern
ment and what responsibilities shall
be retained by industries and unions of
workers. In other words, we must
decide upon the kinds and degree of
political controls that we can allocate
to the government without impairment
of our economic or political freedom.
"The same basic problems of main
tanning freedom follow our economic
and political interests into the inter
national field. In our concern for Sc
curity against war and aggression, we
must not forget that our freedoms
rest on individual and political rights.
''The war will not destroy the pur-
poses and practices of all-powerful
governments. We face the difficult
ties and hazards Of developing a basis
of cooperation through the United Ma
tions organizations of nations COM
mitted democratic ideals and nations
committed to government-contro
institutions.

ture of freedom" William Green in

WHO TELLS EN-?

Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, of New
York City, has been taking it on the
chin because he authorized restau-
rants and cafes to stay open until
l a. m. instead of closing on the fed
eral curfew order at II. There is even
talk of a successful opposing candi-
date against him in the next election.
His honor has had lot of political
experience, and, from all reports, he
has made the big town a darn good
mayor. When the II o'clock curfew
order came from a Washington desk
the people of his town and the news
papers demanded that he do some
thing, and he did it. And then the
demands left him out on the limb.
La Guardia served in the last war
and he has served in Congress, and he
probably knows that man or COM
mittee can sit behind desk in Wash
ington and issue all kinds of orders,
regardless of whether they are needed
or whether the people want them.
Action of the military services in
chasing service men from the hot
spots at II indicates much closer CO.
operation than we have seen against
violators of other federal orders, but
the Little Flower sticks fast. He
knows his people.
Most towns and most spots in those
towns automatically closed at IL when
the order was issued, unquestionably
blindly followed orders, all believing
they are helping in the war effort
But, after all, isn't that just about
the situation that has prevailed in
Germany? When Hitler or one of his
minions issued an order the people
were compelled to comply without the
people having anything to say about
it.
Perhaps we want that in this coun-
try, and perhaps that is what we are
fighting against. And perhaps Fiorel-
10 is American enough to resent be-
ing ordered to do something that will
do more harm than good.

When we read some of the hokum
in the daily papers and magazines
we wonder just what some of our lead
ing propagandists think this war is
all about.
Some of them seems to want US to
believe that we have sent our boys all
over the world with guns on their
shoulders and grenades in their hands
so that they can come back and dunk
some more doughnuts, eat more hot
dogs, and throw bottles at the UNI
pire.
All of course without having Hit
ler to tell them when.
1t should be remembered that on
December z, 1941, Jap planes just
about ruined Pearl Harbor and had
they followed up their victory there
is no telling what they would have
done to the western part of the Unit
ed States. They caught our military
experts unprepared, and had they fol-
lOWeu up lHclT dtCdCh VIC Wouiu HoW
be-to speak plainly-in hell of a
fix.
Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito at
that time had the opportunity to give
US the dirty end of the stick, and it
was only because of their blunder
that we didn't get it.
Of course, the fact that Japan did
not follow through gave us time to
recover and start beating the living
daylights out of her, and before we
are through she will be back on her
little island a sadder but wiser ma
ton.

FORWARD-NOT BACK!
(From Motorman, Conductor and
Motor Coach Operator)

To say that if the government can
conscript men for military service, it
can also conscript men for work may
sound logical at first hearing but re-
member that conscription of workers
means compelling men to work not di-
rectly for the nation but for the pri-
vate profit of others.
And as we've said before on these
pages, after all the laudatory state
ments from the Administration and
the Brass Hats about the magnificent
job Of production American labor has
done-how can they hope to convince
us now that work or Jail bill is nee
essary for those same workers.
What's the answer? Where's the
joker?
If it is so urgently necessary to con-

WOULD YOU RECALL OUR
TANKS NOW?

No one of us would hand a soldier
bullet he needed and then take it
away from him. We do not send
planes and tanks overseas, then ship
them back before they can go into
battle. Yet every time any one of
buys war bond and cashes it in,
we are stepping back from victory
as surely as if we took bullets away

O. P. A. Announcements

| Announcement was made this week
by John E. Robinson, Jr., District Di-
rector of the Cincinnati District OPA,
of the appointment Of Raymond j.
Cook as District Price Attorney and
Acting Price Executive, succeeding
Mr.. Raymond Huwe who has resign
ed, effective April ID to return to pri-
vate practice of law.
Mr.. Cook has been District Ration
ing Attorney and has also served as
Special Hearing Commissioner. He
will assume the duties of Price Exc
cutive at once or until a new Price
Executive is appointed and after April
IA will act as Chief Attorney for the
price division.
Both Mr.. Cook and Mr.. Huwe have
been with the Cincinnati OPA Dis
trict Office since 1912.
Spring house cleaning time has
brought deluge of complaints to OPA
District Office and local War Price
and Rationing Boards. Most of them
want to know whether paperhanging
is under price control.
The answer is "yes". Whether the
paperhanger is an Individual or
company, he cannot charge more than
the highest price charged in March
1912. Interior decorators are also
governed by the same regulations,
MPR 251, and are limited to the same
charges they made for like service in
March 1912.
And victory gardeners are protect
ed by price ceilings on hoes, spades,
rakes, garden plows, and other imple-
ments they may need for putting out
this years victory garden. Seeds,
including seed potatoes, also have a
ceiling price and gardeners should pay
no more than the ceiling price.
Local War Price and Rationing
Boards will accept applications for ex-
ira gasoline rations from victory gar
deners. If they have no other means
of transportation they may obtain as
much as 300 miles for a six-month
period. There are other requirements
which they must meet, such as ride
sharing arrangements, size of the gar
den and it must not be more than Is
miles from the gardeners home or
place of work.

measurement was l85 inches, which.
5dded 70 the previous measurement

has been negligible.
Opinion appeared to be that if the

would overcome the effects OF the
