Mole Drainage

District technicians. ike all farmers
who have wet lands, are continually
trying to get information about
methods Of drainage Two weeks ago
the District was visited by f. w.
Gain, drainage engineer, from the
Soil Conservation Service Regional
Office, who gave US some new slants
on mole drainage.
Mr.. Gain was loaned to the British
Ministry Of Agriculture during the
war, to help plan and carry out drain
ege projects to increase farm produc-
ton. He found mole-type drainage
doing a good job in some parts of
England, and feels that it should be
tried, on an experimental basis, in
Garrett County.
A Mole Plow is simply a heavy sub
soil pillow with the mole, a solid, bull
let shaped affair about or 81 inches
in diameter, fastened back Of the
blade. The mole is drawn thru the soil
at depths Of 16 to % inches, leaving
an opening almost as large as she
mole itself.
Mole drainage is not new in Gar
lett County. Ellsworth Beachy has
likely done more of it than any other
local farmer. Roy Winters, Arthur
Fitzwater and several others have
tried it with some success. One Of the
major drawbacks has been to pro-
vide good outlets. If the mole holes
simply empty into open bitches or
runs they quickly plug up as the
banks cave in or slip.
Gain says that the British have
found a satisfactory way Of out
letting the moles, They lay a line Of
tile for an outlet. The moles are then
drawn just over and a little higher
than the tile. Water seeps into the
tile thru the porous backfill which
mas been placed next to the tile.
Naturally, this will not be as per-
manent as good tile system, but it
would not be expensive, either. Once
the outlets are established, the moles
could be redraWn every ten years, if
necessary, at relatively small expense.

Diversion Terraces

Diversion terraces were constructed
during November ON the farms of
rete Calls, and Carl Miller at Acct
dent. Work on terrace at Foster
Tost's farm was interrupted by a
tractor breakdown. Right now it
seems likely that rough weather will
set in before repairs are completed.
About 400 acres of new contour
strip cropping were laid out this fall.

Gain does not propose mole drains
as a cure-all, or to replace tile sys-
TENS where they are economically
justified. But he does suggest that
they be tried more extensively where
conditions Of soil, slopes and outlets
are suitable.

Krug, Successor To Ickes, Was WrongEach Time
Junked Donald Nelson's Re conversion Program, Sid
 ing With Reaction

The appointment of J. A. Krug to succeed Harold Ickes as Secretary oi the Interior is not good news. As head of the War Production Board it would be difficult to find anybody who more consistently allied himself with the forces of reaction. Indeed it would be difficult to find any major issue on which he was right in his tenure as chairman of the WIPE.
 As Vice Chairman in charge of program requirements, Krug had done a moderately decent job. When he resigned this post to enter the Navy, it was understood that one of the factors which had prompted his withdrawal from the WPB was the intransigence of the military representatives on prOduc. tiOn matters.
 Of the three major issues which Krug faced as WIPE head he was wrong on the issue of decontrols.
 Donald Nelson was forced to resign in the backwash of bitterness which resulted from his support of some in telligent policy of reconversion adjust ment as the requirements of military production were reduced. When Krug took over Nelson's job he threw out the Nelson reconversion program and capitulated to the military.
 This pattern of subOrdinating production policy to the interests of

Women Voters Back
 McMahon Atom Bill

In an interview with Senator Brien McMahOn in Washington last week, Mrs. John C. Lee, president of the Connecticut League of WO- men Voters, commended him on his far-sighted approach to the sO- lutiOn of what is considered the worlds greatest problem, control of atomic energy.
 In the interview Senator McMahon expressed the hope that citizens would communicate their views on this subject as soon as possible to the Special Senate Committee on Atomic Energy, of which he is chairman. Ex- pressions of opinion should come from citizens to the committee in the next two weeks while members are writing new bill for control of atomic energy.
 The essential. issue is whether the control of atomic energy will be vested in military or civilian hands. If the military win the present bit terIy fought struggle for control of the atomic energy agency we shall be serving notice on the world that we are beginning an armament race of hitherto undreamed of in- tensity.
 Civilian control must be established if the United States is to be able to take leadership in preventing an atomic armaments race.

Transit Strike. Ends With 12c Hourly Increase
Lancaster Workers Win On Six Of Twenty-Five
 Original Issues

LANCASTER, Pa CPD Set clement of the transit strike here, which also ended an AFL general sympathy strike, netted the striking members of Local 1241, Amalgamated Assn. of Street Electric Railway & Motor Coach Employees a 12c hourly pay increase, as against their original 20c demand.
 The contract, which will expire March l, l947 also provides an increase in pensions, a guaranteed 44-hour week and maintenance of membership clause. Of the unions original 25 demands, six were granted in full, two in part and IF were turned down.
 A possible source of new friction was seen in the Conestoga Transpor- tation Co.'s statement that it would keep on the payroll 60 strikebreakers hired during the walkout. Although the company maintained this had been agreed to by the union, union spokes- men asserted the company had agreed secretly to fire the men. Use of the strikebreakers, many of them veter- ans, created series of violent incl dents during the To-day strike, with cops using their clubs against pickets and arresting a number of strikers in- cluding union officials.

Green Vows Fight
 For FEPC Goes On

NEW YORK-(FP)-Every hate laden word directed against FEPC in the recent Senate filibuster strengthened the determination of its friends to fight on, AFL Presi- dent William Green declared in a message to the FEPC rally here.
 Read to the audience of 17,OOO by AFL Second Vice Pres. Matthew Woll, the message said: "It is re- flection upon our democratic processes and parliamentary procedure that a minority of the members of the Sen ate able to bring about a temporary defeat of this measure However, those who believe in the principles of freedom, liberty and democracy and who are uncompromisingly op- posed to the practice of discrimina- tion because of race, color or nation ality will not remain passive or yield to indefensible minority opposition" !"
 Morse, Chavez Present
 On the platform were Sen Wayne Morse (R, Ore.) and Sen. Dennis Chavez CD, N.M.), two of the lead CTS in the fight against the Senate filibuster. Both called for defeat at the next election of all those who op-
The union times., 1946-03-09

posed the FEPC bill. but Morse went further than Chavez by criticizing the manner in which the fight for FEPC was conducted, as well as the filibust- CT itself.
 Terming both a farce, Morse pointed out that although 49 sena- tors signed cloture petition, there were few who backed his suggestion that the Senate be kept in con- continuous session SO the filibuster could be broken.
 Assurance that the fight was not lost was brought by Sec. of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach, who said he was authorized to declare that Pres. Tru- man was determined to have FEPC enacted into law.
 Other speakers were Mrs. Elea- nor Roosevelt, CIO Secretary Treasurer James B. Carey Presi- dent A. Philip Randolph of Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Por- ters (AFL) and former Mayor F. HI. LaCuardia. The rally was spon- sored by the New York Council for Fair Employment Practice Com mission.

Here Are Facts
 On Jew Haters

NEW YORK (LPA)-Are you rich enough to hate Jews? Do you dislike government projects that help prevent unemployment? Do you dis approve of labor unions? These odd facts are inter-related, according to a survey in the February Fortune mag azine, which discloses that:
 1) anti-Semitism increases with wealth; 9 is strongest in the North east and Middle West; 3 is strong est in large cities; 4) is strongest among the age-group 35 to 49; ) runs parallel with hostility to Great Britain and Russia; 6) runs parallel with disapproval of large-scale gov ernment work projects to help pre- vent unemployment, and disapproval of labor unions; and that ? anti Semites talk louder and faster than most Americans. However, altogether the Jew-haters among us are only a noisy 8.8 per cent.

Income Rising
 For Landlords. Porter Asserts
New OPA Chief Says In- creases Range Between
 35 And 40 Per Cent

WASHINGTON-UPA)- Land. lords have no right to cry and wiring their hands about their need for relief from rent ceilings. This is the conclusion drawn from one of the first public statements by Paul A. Porter, new OPA chief, and first rent control administrator of OPA.
 Landlords net operating income has increased an average of between 35 and 409o over the 1o3o leve1," Por- ter said in summarizing an OPA sur vey covering 36 typical cities from 1939 through 1914. Some landlord $ income did not increase this much while others had an even larger per centage gain.
 Same Trend in l945
 "This same trend continued last year. While 1945 figures are not com plete for all 36 cities covered by the four-year survey, reports from a score of these cities show that landlords increased operating income remained Wltlll1A d AldNlAOAl O1 70 LII ItlC 1Sf-t level. That trend is continuing.
 Pressure groups advocating a gen. eral overall rent increase or the lift ing of all controls have pointed to the small increase in rents in an effort to prove discrimination against land. lords. They conveniently forget mention that net operating incomes. not total rents, are the true measure of a landlords position. Net operating incomes reflect substantial savings made through cuts in vacancy losses and competitive redecorating expenses.
 Moreover, an overall rent in- crease for all tenants in rent con- trol areas would start an imitation ary spiral that would likely lead to more demands for higher wages to meet increased living costs and tighten the squeeze on the millions of tenants on fixed or reduced in- comes, who are now paying all they can afford.

the brass hats continued throughout Krug's later career in WPB. It was very much in evidence when Krug went along with the Army's surplus s'prOduction crisis" campaign led by General SomerveH in the fall and winter of l944-45.
 The propaganda emanating from military sources aided and abetted by Krug was that we were well on the way toward serious crisis in the war unless we speeded up production. Ob- servers at the time suggested that this was a method of covering up the dis aster of the Battle of the Bulge and method of building up to what the military wanted all along-national service legislation for civilians. With the latter "work-or-Jair proposals Krug went along too. We'll, the Eu- ropean war ended even as the need for national service legislation Twas being argued as necessary to protect the flight of workers from war production jobs.

Firm Would Deny Labor's War Gains


 The Connecticut Federation of Labor, through its leading off cers, President Timothy M. Col lins and Secretary-Treasurer Jo- seph M. Rourke reiterated that the state labor body is fully behind the Yale and Towne strikers in Stamford in statement in which it called "vicious" rumOr that the A. F. of L. had withdrawn support on the grounds that the Inter. national Association of Machinists had been suspended by the Fedora. tiOn's Executive Council.
 At the Waterbury convention of the Connecticut Federation of Labor last month,' President Collins and Secretary Rourke said, "the delegates went on record pledging the State Federation's full resources to the striking workers of the Yale and Towne Mfg. Company and urged that financial support be marshalled in To- cal unions throughout the state for these gallant unionists whose fight is the fight of all labor
 Our affiliated organizations, ac. cording to reports received, have made contributions in the spirit of the reso- lution adopted at the convention, anc we have heard of the instance il which union has declined to aic financially because the Internationa Association of Machinists has beer temporarily suspended from the A.

 We are we'll aware that as Presi. dent Harvey w. Brown put it the International Association of Ma chinists is "A. F. of l.. minded'' and that the dispute in labor's family will be adjusted in good time."

 "lt was the opinion of the Water bury convention" they continued that the Yale and Towne Compans is acting as the spearhead for anti labor employers in their efforts not only to emaschlate the gains labor has achieved during the years, but to de- stroy the labor movement itself. Events since the convention only con firm this opinion The Yale and Towne Company continues to adhere to its anti-union, open shop policy, and pits its huge financial resources against the human needs of its employees.
 s'We reiterate our support of the Yale and TOwne strikers and call upon all A. F. of l.. unions in the state to respond generously to the Stamford Machinists' locals ap- peals for financial assistance. The cause of these embattIed workers is just and deserves to triumph
