To enlighten some of the
people on the welfare system
we have at Acklin here it is:
The Welfare system was set
up and voted on by the people
to pay $500 for being off sick
seven days, and $500 for being
off 80 days unless otherwise

Butter Rise
Protested

WASHINGTON (LPA) - An
outraged public, objecting to the
SC a pound price rise in butter
and to Agriculture Secy. Clin-
ton Anderson's approval of a
total rise of 18c a pound, is ex-
pected to back up OPA Admin
istrator Chester Bowles in his
fight against government-spon-
sored higher food prices.
Anderson has reportely sold"
stabilization director John C..
Collet and assistant president"
John Snyder on a timetable for
removing all federal subsidies
on essential food items. Now
that the effects of removal of
these subsidies are being felt by
consumers, Collet and Snyder
are repeatedly reconsidering and
may join Bowles in asking ex-
tension of federal subsidies on
milk, meat, beef, lamb and
flour.
Labor has urged the continu-
ance of the subsidies, at least
until they will not be needed as
much after reconversion is COM
pleted and wartime shortages
are a thing of the past. Right
now, union leaders point to the
800 drop in take-home pay that
workers have suffered as proof
of the need of continuing the
federal payments through June,
1947.
The program has cost 1,785,
a year, but has meant
that lower-income families were
still able to buy important foods
in their diet-like milk and
bread-at prices they could af-
ford. The national food bill was
about $50 billion in 1943.
Consumers and cooperative
groups have urged, as a solution
to the shortage of butter, the
placing of ceilings on all butter
fat.

Did you know that manage

getting eight 1941 hours of pro-
duction in six hours of This
1946? And yet they wish to ac-
tually pay us less, despite the
fact they are making a greater
profit than before!
l can recall a meeting we had
by departments last year and
management told US that the
cost of production was not the
labor involved but the overhead
of utilities, equipment and de-
probation of same. So they
agreed that we production
workers should give all we
could for deal ole Alma Mater

bigger wages we made and why

Put orPit
By Ruth Taylor

Put" or "Pit"-which do you
do?
The other day I was typins,
in hurry as usual, and when
l read over what I had written,
there it was-"pit" instead Of
put"
Unfortunately that is what
impatient people are too often
doing. They pit their energies
against suspected opposition,
wasting precious time and
strength, rather than put their
energies to work to achieve their
desired ends. They strive 50
hard in fighting off attacks, both
real and imaginary, that they
never drive ahead.
I do not mean that we should
follow the line of least resist
ence, that we should compromise
or accept as perfect, half-meas-
ures. No indeed Compromises
usually leave both sides discon-
tended and please no one. We
should struggle hard to estab-
lish the things in which we be-
lieve, but we should do it posi-
lively by working, rather than
negatively by fighting.
We should put all our efforts
into constructive work, into la
Dor which will build up upon
firm basis and we should not
spend our strength by pitting
it against forces that are too
often created out of our own
minds or by our own prejudiceS.
Half the troubles we dread
never happen. Half the opposi-
ton we deplore exists only in
our own thinking.
FORWARD
Put" is constructive-it IL
motion forward. Pit" is mega
tive-it is placing against. 'Put"
is productive-it is action ahead.
pit is static-it is only opposi-
ton. What we need is lot
more putting forth and a lot
less pitting against.
Put it together-and put il
across!
Put the facts, not the fancies,
together, fitting them in logical
ly and harmoniously, not just
letting them jut out into thin
air. Put your energies to con-
structive use, working with your
fellow laborers in the vineyard.
Don't pit your strength in sense
less competition, hoping to beat
some one else, trying to get
things for your own group and
not for all the people.
Put it together and put it
across. Don't waste time argu-
ing but see through whatever
you start to do. Argument is
good when the plans are under
consideration and we have yet
to determine what we shall do
but when the plans are laid,
we shall not pit ourselves
against the will of the majority
We should work together to put
it across.
Put or pit-which do you do?

published by the Public AT,
fairs Press, Washington, D. C.
Written by K. M. Ramsay
and illustrated by labor cartoon
ist Barnard Seaman, the pam
phlet has been hailed by labor
leaders as one of the most sue
cessful efforts to date to acquain'
servicemen with the real nature
and purpose of unions and the
sacrifices and achievements o1
labor during the war.
Effectively demolishing many
of the anti-labor canards that
were fed to American troops
during the war years, the pam
phlet avoids becoming an out
and-out pro-labor preachment,
but succeeds in establishing
the close community of economic
interest shared by veterans and
unionists.
Refused Publication
The pamphlet was originally
designed as a War Department
publication to be handed to vet
erans at separation centers
throughout the country. The di-
vision of labor standards of the
Labor Department was assigned
the writing job. However, for
reasons never made public, the
War Department changed its
mind and refused to publish it.
Concise, accurate answers are
given to such questions as: Why
should the veteran be concerned
with unions? What are the prin-
cipal union groups? Are unions
interested in veterans? Does a
union contract help the veteran?
What are unions doing for dis
abled veterans?
The veteran new to unionism
is given persuasive descriptions
of the purpose of unions, collec-
tive bargaining, the gains made
by organized labor, union po-
litical action and such frequently
debated questions as the extent
of membership control over the
union, racketeering, manage
ment attitudes toward unions
and labor's concern with legisla-
ton affecting not labor alone
but the entire community and
nation.
Discusses War Wages
Discussing wartime wages. the
author points out that Wages
rose some, especially for work
ers employed on war production,
but good part of the higher
earnings disappeared as a result
of increased taxes and the rise
In the cost or living.
The fact that "labor's no.
strike pledge was kept better
than 90 per cent" is emphasized
and that only one-tenth of one
per cent of working time was
lost through strikes.
Also noted are labor's pur-
chase of nearly half of all E.
bonds, its contributions of mil
lions of dollars to the Red Cross
and National War Fund, its do
nations of millions of pints of
blood, and its work with the
USO in organizing servicemen's
canteens and other activities.
The pamphlet concludes with
of national and inter
unions.

Shifting Air

LONDON - () - The earth's
wobble, observed long ago by
astronomers, has been traced to
great air masses which accumulate
over Europe and Asia during the
winter and roll back towards the
oceans in the summer, says the
Soviet Science News.
The publication records a report
by V. Shuleikin to the Soviet Acad-
envy of Sciences on the results of
a study of seasonal atmospheric
fluctuations. Shuleikin and his col
leagues estimate there are 300 bill
lion tons more air over. Europe and
Asia in winter than in summer,
The great movement of this air,
they say. gives rise to late frosts
in spring and Indian summer in
autumn. The shifting weight is so
great, they add, that it causes the
earth to wobble.
