radio speech on wages and prices shows the gross average pay of U. 5. workers in manufacturing rose from $26.64 in January, 194l to $47.12 in April 1945 gross increase of 77%o. But the study shows the cost of living rose al least 32%o in that period and that millions who never before were taxed paid income tax lev1es Tn the new war prosperity. AL lowing for price and tax boosts, the average workers take home pay, in l94l dollars rose from $26.47 to $3147, which is only 18Po net gain.
 DeLacy next showed what parts of the $47.12 came from overtime, work ing longer hours, shifting to higher paid industries and increased hourly rates, etc.
 Assuming that the hourly rates will not be materially cut and that perhaps half the increases can be retained by the workers, the gross average weekly pay of the worker in l946 will fall to $33.96 a week. if he works at all. This is a 28@o cut below his April, l945, pay check.
 That workers money wage of $33.96 will buy 39o less in 1946 than his average 1941 wage of .$26.64. The actual worth of, $33.96 is 10%o below what he earned in January, 1041.

 These reasons for buying extra Bonds in the Victory Loan are clear and easily under stood.
 But there is another reason for making the Victory Loan success which, perhaps, doesn't come so easily and clearly to mind
 In these years of war, the American peo- pie have displayed mighty sound judgment
 Man by man, family by family group by group they have come to accept Bond buy ing as way to obtain financial and eco homie security for themselves as individuals and for their country.
 Whole communities have thus changed. in the last few years, from debt-ridden, hand-to-mouth groups to communities of solid citizens with financial reserve, financial stake in the American system, and newly-formed habit of regular saving.
 As result of this good judgment, we have been able to hold off disastrous inha- ton, finance a good part of the costs of war, and save the incredible sum of 100 billion dollars.
 And as a result of these accomplishments,

You are being asked to buy War Bonds Victory Bonds, they are now-after the War Is over
 Why?
 All of us know, without being told, some of the reasons
 We know that million and a quarter Americans were killed or wounded and that we must take care of the injured men and the families of the dead.
 We know that there are still millions of Americans overseas and that we must bring them home as soon as we can and maintain them till they get here
 We know that the GI. Bill of Rights gives these men-and rightly-mustering out pay, loans, education-a chance to make up for the years they have lost-a chance to get a start in the free and peaceful world they won for all of us. These facts are obvious-just as obvious as the fact that it will take a lot of money to handle the problems they present.
 It's also obvious, when you come to think of it, that winding up a war as big as this one IS expensive business in other ways. For instance, huge sums are still required to pay

we, as nation, stand ready now to win our final battle in the fight to throw off the effects of war and get this country back, as fast as we can, on a solid, prosperous, peacetime economic basis.
 To win this final battle, we need only
 keep on doing, for little longer, the
 things we did so we'll during 3%
 years of war. We need to keep on
 saving until recOnversiOn is complete. The next few months will tell the story And if during this critical period, we will only use the brains, the will power, the energy, the enterprise, the materials and re- sources with which we won our war, we can't fail to win the peace and make this the richest, happiest land the world has known. Making the Victory Loan smashing success will be a clear notice of our inten- tionS.

On nTheScene
 In Washington
By Travis K. Hedrick

The frequently expressed charge that not all the strikes are instigat. ed by unions found sound support on the floor of the House this week when Rep. Hugh DeLacy CD. Wash.), detailed some facts about the northwest lumber strike.
 In the state of Washington alone. 6,OOO AFL lumber workers are on strike for $I.OO an hour and $44 a week.
 The lumber companies in l944. DeLacy pointed out, had profits in 1944 that were 5ll.79o above the l936-39 level, and prices of Ium. Der are up 7O%o over 1889. Wages, however, are only l5@o higher, due to the Little Steel formula.
 Still the homogeneous refused to meet the $44 week wage for the sea sonal work and DeLacy used the of flcial publication of the lumber indus try and Big Business to show why.
 THE ANSWER
 Here is the answer out of indus try'S own mouth - Crows Pacific Coast Lumber Digest, for Aug. B. 1945, long before the strike broke out
 "'The facts are,' said this industry spokesman, that the average producer does not care whether his men strike Some have expressed the opinion that they are afraid that they will not With the average manufacturer al ready in the high income tax brack- ct he will receive very little net re- turn for operating the balance of this year and the moral obligation to run no longer exists"
 DeLacy then quoted from Busi. ness Week, the McCraw Hill publi. cation that is bible for corpora tiOn executives. It said Behind the large lumber strike i'm the northwest is the operators deter imitation to stand pat, because they earned this year just about all the present tax laws will permit them to keep. Their attitude is that a showdown with labor might as well come now as later, in fact, better now than later."
 Altogether, some 6O,OOO lumber workers are idle in the northwest. and DeLacy charged that ''the lum. Der barOns of the northwest are on a sit-dOwn strike against the U. 5. government"
 Then, DeLacy continued, "just as in lumber, all industry can afford to pay as much as a 24%o wage increase and that without raising prices. While the exact percentage of increase may vary from industry to industry, a wage increase of 249o by the same corporations would allow them a prof it in 1946 after taxes, of $4,8OO mil lion, or more than twice the prewar average and only $100 million short of industry's 1942 war profit level.

AS WE SEE IT

HARD-BOILED newspaper pub- fishers are continuing to run up the "white flag" in battles with the International Typographical Union.
 Among the latest to surrender were three dailies in San Antonio Texas, which, after holding out for many weeks against a cry pOs'" strike, signed an agreement accepting the unions bylaws gov erning operation of the 'union shop, plus wage increases of $6.63 to $6.88 a week. Similar pay raises have been won by the l. T. U. lately in many other cities.
 FOLKS everywhere were gasping last week over the admission by John O'DOnnell, cOIumnist for the Times-Herald and ". Y. Daily NesOs, that he had printed a lie. O'DOnnell, ranked with Westbrook Pegler as yielding vicious pen on labor and liberal causes, had said that influential Jews had pressured the removal of Gen. Patton from his command of the Third Army. O'DOnnell had stated that the hos pitalized soldier slapped by Gen. Patton at the height of the war in Europe was Jewish. This was proven untrue by numerous other columnists, as we'll as by the soldier himself, member of a Protestant sect.
 SEN. BILBO disguised himself as laundry man and tried to sneak past pickets in front of his house, carrying two laundry bags over his shoulder, probably just taking his big mouth out to have it washed.
 LABOR'S slogan of full postwar employment should be amended to demand permanent unemployment for all military commentators.
 ALARM is spreading in labor circles at the Dept. of Agriculture's plan to end food subsidies, aI- though their dumping at this point would raise retail prices of the subsidized items by about lO%o.
 OPA, in its familiar role of lone- ly guardian against imitation, is fighting the department, urging that subsidies be continued until living costs are stabilized or in- creases taper off. Elimination of the food subsidies, OPA said would raise the retail price of peanut but ter by Sc to 6c a pound meats by 3.5c to Sc a pound, cheese by 4c a pound, milk by 12c to l1zc quart, and butter by 6c to a pound.

 Symington has gone further than other administrators in that respect. He has agreed to name a labor policy committee of union chiefs; to set up full-time labor staff, and to include labor spokes- men on every industry committee. And he has assured the labor Iead- CTS that ''the administration ex- poets to benefit greatly from such consultation"
 Those nominated to the labor policy committee are T. C. Cashen, chairman, Railway Labor Execu- tives' Association; Boris Shishkin, A. K. of L. economist, and Ted Sill vey, head of the C.

A Story on Bishop And His Activities
By A Friend

do not believe there Is a man who is still at the Electric Boat Co.,, who knows Bishop any better than I do or has had any more dealings with him. Bishop is now confined to the hospital after having an ac- cident in his automobile.
 am going to take this opportun- ity to give you the true facts about him.
 Rowland is one of the most hon. est men whom I have ever met and he would go hungry to serve his fellow workers. I have seen this man work for sixty eight hours without once going home, just to get work done that helped you boys in the plant, who never gave him one penny or a word of praise. I have seen this man fight battles for some of the workers here at this year whom no other man in the Union would fight for because they were non-union men. Bishop is a friend in deed to any one who is in trouble. I have worked with him until long after midnight on many nights and have left him still at his desk because he would not quit until he had his work fin- ished.
 Because he was too tired to drive his car home last Saturday night, he dozed at the wheel and his car hit telephone pole. He was badly hurt and is now in the hospital.
 just wonder how many men in this plant appreciate what he has done for them. I do not believe there is over a handful of the boys who even know what he is doing or who care what he does. Fellows, instead of going to your union meetings and giving a rising vote of thanks to someone who has only half done his job, I would say you should send Rowland Bishop a real honoest to goodness letter of thanks.

Many new features highlight the new contract which will include a grievance procedure and a vaca- tion clause second to none.
 Ever since the American Feder- ation- of Labor has been selected to represent us, many gains have been made for the employees of the Electric Boat Company and this despite the anti-union tactics of some of the narrow backs in the yard. This Union was chosen by us to represent us and is a Union to which we should all be loyal. It has done much to bring peace and harmony and good Labor Relations to the Electric Boat Company, and besides finding jobs under ideal Union conditions and wages for hundreds of our fellow employees who were terminated for lack of work end settling many hundreds of minor grievances, and many oth- CT things this Union has asked nothing of us except our loyalty and support. Every man in the yard should be behind this union that the vast majority of E. B. en- ployees voted to have represent them. That is the decent thing to do, that is the sensible thing to do. In unity there is strength and strength is one thing that we need and need badly today. Get behind it, gang, it is your Union.

Nonsense and Facts
By Charles Chapman

-~N~~b or rather early Sunday morning, I had retired to get a few hours of much needed rest when suddenly loud pounding came on my door. By the sound of the noise thought the whole town was on fire, so quickly came out of a coma to open the door and here Is the news that was given to me as all news is repeated. "Chappie, quick. get out of bed, you are wanted in Westerly at the Sun Office at once. The Sub must go to press tonight and Bishop is in bad shape at the Hospital. They are putting him under ether at once"
 We'll, I knew the Sub did not go to the printers until Sunday at noon , so I forgot that part of the story and tried to find out more about Bishop. I only found out he had been struck by an automobile and was taken to the hospital AS there was nothing I could do at that time I covered up my head and was soon in the land of dreams once more. I was brought back to my senses at the break of day by my fwife, and she informed me to hur- ry up and get the Sub to Westerly to the printers. She said, What do you think you are doing, letting the men at the shop down this week with no paper" By that time remembered what had hap pened during the night so called up the hospital and was informed Bishop was there and was resting comfortably.
 Well, fellows, I am now on my way with the paper to the print ing press and when I get back I will try to find out what happened to Bishop, but I will assure you he got hurt and by the time you read this you will all have heard what happened.
 I tried to get Mr. Al Partridge to come to the Sub office to give me hand in putting on few finish ing touches to the Sub, but Al is an early riser and was well on his way to his favorite fishing grounds. I want to thank his mother for her trouble in trying to get him for me. am asking you boys here at the yard once more to send us in more material for the paper. Take pen cil in your hand and try your luck. Anyone can write a little and every little bit we get helps to make a better Sub. Give US little sunshine for change and not all brickbatS.
 On last Tuesday night, when the loudspeaker gave us the good news that the war was over, Chapman followed the boys out the gate as fast as his legs would carry him. He seemed to be happy or sad we could not tell which, as he was laughing and crying at the same time, but 1t did not take us long to find out he was crying for joy. He stopped at the NelSeco Hotel and had a drink or maybe more with friend and then proceeded home after his supply he had put in that morning early. How big his stock was we have never been able to find out but no mater where we saw him there was always bottle left behind (empty) and he was seen aplenty that night. The last time I saw him he was kissing man with a white beard about two feet long. heard he kissed every woman and sailor in Groton but one. That was sailor he met at the E. B. Co main gate and in try ing to kiss him he lost his pen, button, and everything he had on- him.
 We'll, Chappie, we have found out you have plenty of life left and you sure can get drunk in a good
