calls its latest release, one in which
it assumes no oracular powers in
recommending what shall be done.
Common sense, tact. understand

qualities are all that March of Time
has to suggest. 1t does so in terms
of straight fact, uttered with a

Various types of discharge cases
are illustrated, along with the treat
ment of them, and the dos and
don't's of dealing with each type
on the part of the civilians to whose
life patterns they will return.
The point of THE Returning
Veteran is that he is a problem,
but that failure to solve it will find
only ourselves to blame.

Hollywood has contrived in its sew

Coal Strike
DeudIocked
Labor See'y Hopeful
Of Speedy Settlement

WASHINGTON, October Is
(LPA)-John L. Lewis and the
United Mine Workers were COM
pletely deadlocked with soft
coal operators last week as the
nine strike spread to involve
nearly 100000 UNIV members
and the closing of 879 mines.
Labor Sec'y. Schwellenbach,
who summoned the union Off
cials and industry representa-
tives to conference two weeks
ago, refused to despair of set
tlement and personally reported
to President Truman on the
status of the discussions.
The dispute, which started
over the question of granting
union recognition and collective
bargaining rights to foremen and
other supervisory workers, has
reduced steel production in the
Pittsburgh area alone to 400 of
normal output, according to in
dustry estimates.
Interior Sec'y Ickes declared
that even if the coal strike con-
tinues he will not propose ra-
tioning of coal.

ASHIN NG TON, Oct. 16
(LPA)-War Production Board
Chairman j. A. Krug submitted
WPB's Tooth and final report
last week and could not refrain
from smearing labor in the pro-
cess.
Krug, whose resignation has
been accepted and whose agency
goes out of existence on Nov. 3,
had kind words for industrial
output which more than
doubled in a record-breaking
five-year expansion for war :"
But all he could find to say
about American labor which
produced the record-breaking
quantity of war materials was
that 'labor difficulties" were
the big reconversion problem.

Management
Advised On
Practices

NEW YORK, October 10th
(LPA)- Bribing union or
ganizer," says an article in
Editor and Publisher, publ
cation trade journal, is one of
the things one mustn't do these
days. That is, if one wants to
keep ones industry going.
At the tail end of a full-page
dissertation on points to be
Watched in Union Bargaining"
other hints to the wary (and
wily) manager or owner are
given:
"Avoid such practices as: -
Questioning a unions majority
after conceding it; depriving
your strikers of seniority; brib-
ing a union organizer; checking
off dues from a company-domi-
mated union; reprinting an anti
union article even though it did
appear in newspaper; secretly
hiring a union organizer; going
beyond friendly advice, and i'm
plying threats in your words
to your employees; giving privi-
leges to a union not the lawful
representatives of employees; i'm
proper timing of bonus or wage
increases"
The list of practices" (Which
are now, thanks to The Wagner
Act, "to be avoided,") is follow
ed by a final word of caution.
Lastly, remember that re-
fusal to bargain may be shown
by reluctance to negotiate, STALL
ing or failure to designate your
authorized representative"

FTAA Protests
POW. Use

NEW YORK (LPA)-Use OF
German prisoners of war to fill
jobs needed by unemployed
American workers was decried
by the CIO Food, Tobacco, Agri-
cultural & Allied Workers in a
letter to Secretary of War Pat
terson, at the same time that the
Post War World Council sent
him a letter protesting the reten-
ton of war prisoners in this
country. The Council advises
quick return of prisoners to
their homeland on the ground
that use of japanese POWs in
California, where the popula-
ton is hostile, will create great
er difficulties for the repatrla-
ton of Japanese Americans.

repeating the PR system on

Gates worried almost to the
point of desperation.
Information that several MEM
bers of the Committee Against
the PAC have contributed large
sums of money and are now
seeking to cover their invest
ment is borne out by a letter
from the Committee Against the
PAC to thousands of Toledo
voters, dated Oct. 5, in which
the committee seeks contribu-
tions of S100, $4,000 or, some
running up to S100." The letter
was signed by Kenton d. Keil-

itself a reputation of his re-
fusal to give full credit to labor
role in winning the war. Krug,
in revealing previously conf
dental munitions production fig
ures, declared that 'in hurting
more than $186 billion worth of
planes, ships, guns and other ma
teriel against the axis, the U. S.
had demonstrated a degree of
reSourcefulness, strength an d
productivity far greater than
many of us dared to imagine a
few short years ago."
Krug's disdain of labor's ac-
complishments was conspicuous
because it came on the heels of
a mounting number of tributes
to labor's war effort from Gen
eral Macarthur, Admiral MIN
itz, GeneaI Stillwell, General
Marshall and many commanders
in both the Pacific and the
European theatres.

Although he attempted to dis

Krug could offer no estimate of
the number of workers that will

ton cutbacks during the recon

lief that "the automobile strikes
seem to be temporarily worked

.Anti-PAC Group Begins Fear Campaign
Taft g. Bricker
Equals Richer

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Oct.
13. Robt A. Taft, who among
his many other interests, is
found as an incorporation of
the Cincinnati Termin a |
Warehouses, Inc, 41-51 Central
Avenue, Cincinnati, should be
considerably richer because of
the way the Bricker Administra-
ton routed liquor through Gin
cinnati.
Examination of records in the
state Capitol reveal that the Gin
cinnati firm, in which Taft al
legedly is heavily interested,
benefited in gross business to
the tune of at least S500,000 dur
ing the Bricker regime for stor-
age of liquor.
"Tafts" Warehouse Gravy
The Taft warehouse drew
from the taxpayers of Ohio in
1914 storage rates of S105, 900
and at least averaged this
through the other five years of
the ker Administration.
While the taft" warehouse Sc
cured its contract for this liq-
uor business through bidding,
records reveal that in 1889 the
Taft" firm was not the lowest
original bidder. Although the
National Terminal Corporation,
Cincinnati, placed the lowest bid
for the liquor storage business
in that year, the Taft" ware
house was awarded the contract.
State records clearly indicate
that while the people of Ohio
paid through the nose for over
buying of imported runs and
brandies by former Governor
Bricker, the Taft warehouse
was not loser, picking up hand
some windfall in handling the
liquor through Cincinnati. This
was particularly noticeable in
view of the fact that carload
after carload of liquor, bound for
other Ohio cities, was unloaded
at Cincinnati and then re-ship-
ped, when they could have been
routed directly through at a
handsome saving to Ohio tax
payers.
News of the handsome profits
accruing to the Taft" warehouse
through liquor business comes at
a moment when the contract for
Cincinnati is drawing to a close.

management members proposed
that the public members of the
committee should offer their
assistance to the conciliators
and attempt to bring both par
ties to the dispute together in an
attempt to settle the differences
which exist.
Labor was hesitant in accept

that members of the labor
group felt that some weeks ago
when strikes has occurred in
other Toledo industries, manage

Members of the Amalgamated

their two week strike last Sat-
urday after nine downtown
stores effected by the work
stoppage came to terms with

in the contract to permit re
opening of wage negotiations al
