W yHAT OF THE wages Of the future!
w This question is bound to come up
in any discussion Of postwar planning.
On this, our attitude is clear. No wages
are high that are earned. Fifty dollars a day
earned is none too high. But a dollar a day
uufa,ued is much too high.
More Productive Methods
Wages are a part of the product. They are
not the result of the employers generosity,
nor the employees ability to bring pressure
to bear.
American Industry has continuously de-
velopcd methods whereby a mar receives
more pay for fewer hours but still increases
production. And so it Will continue to be.
But wages are only one Of lnduStry'S
problems.

n American people. But these alone
are not enough.
Confidence is the first need. confidence
that work brings reward. Such confidence
cultivated in a people generates enterprise
and effort.
Industry, being part of the people, re-
sponds to the same stimulus. .. and IS ready
to initiate and work and invest all for the
treasure of life in America.
Youth Must Haze Opportunity
The way must be kept clear for independ-
ence in business.. and for young men TO
start new businesses. Vigorous competition
and initiative have carried our country
safely and far.
American business is not performing its
comDlete function unless it makes available
to every family traditional American stand
ards of living. American business also must
serve social order and social advance. | here
is little room for racial or religious preJu-
dice or class distinction when a country is
alive with energy and is working.
These are some of the thoughts we hold
az we look toward the day when wages
will again be earned by building the goods

well be comprised OF nine men such

could be advised that these men
stand ready al all times TO aid in

Labor Aids OPA In Fight
Against Meat Black Markets

Labor spokesmen for the American
Federation of Labor, the Congress of
Industrial Organizations, and Rail
way Labor Organizations in the OPA
Labor Office have pledged labor's con-
tinued and intensified support in the
battle against the Black Market.
Members of organized labor will ag-
gressively participate in this battle
when three million OPA meat price
lists, listing the top prices for all cuts
and grades of meat are distributed
throughout the country early in June.
The printing and distribution of
these consumer price lists was recon-
mended by the OPA Labor Policy Com
mittee and other consumer groups.
The OPA Labor Office through its
Regional Labor Advisers, District La
Dor Advisory Committees and local
union Cost Living Committees in
many locals plan to get labor to fully
utilize this price list as an enforce
ment weapon against overceiling
charges and the Black Market in
meat.
AFL Central Labor Unions, CIO
Industrial Union Council, and Secre-
taries of Railway Labor Local Lodges
and Divisions are being urged to get
their membership squarely behind this
program. Every local union is being
asked to secure these price lists from
the local War Price and Rationing
Boards for distribution to their mem
bership! Individual union members can
also secure copies from their local
Boards. The labor press will reproduce
wherever possible, this meat price list,
with a request that union members
clip it and put it to use. Ladies auxil-
iaries are also expected to play an i'm
portant role in this campaign.
Retailers guilty of overcharges
should be reported to the Price Panel
of OPA in the local War Price and
Rationing Board. A consumer report
ing violations may request that the
Price Panel keep his or her name con-
fidential.
The individual consumer may take
action on his own any time within a
year following the violation. If the
violation is unintentional, he may col
lect the amount Of the overcharge, or
$25.00, whichever is greater. However,
for deliberate violations of price cell
ings, the consumer may collect times
the amount of the overcharge, or
$4,000, whichever is greater.

Liquor Ration May
Be Boosted

Columbus.-Liquor Director Robert
M. Sohngen held out hopes for in
creased liquor rations for Ohioans at
a press conference on Tuesday of this
week. Sohngen remarked that the July
"holiday" production period Of bev-
erage spirits may result in enough
increased ALLEGATIONS of whiskey to
the state to reduce the five-week
ration period to four weeks, permit
gin to be ration free and even allow
some cane spirit whiskeys to be ra-
tion free as well.
Sohngen's statement, which was
featured by newspapers in all parts
Of the state, did not mention licensee
quotas as such. Under shorter ration
periods, however, permit holders
would benefit equally.
The current ration period, number
"a, ends Saturday, June 23rd. Card
holders are now entitled to one unit
(fifth, quart or two pints) of whiskey
or gin in that period.
