"Well," said Mr.. Dilworth, 81
think the United Nations may sur
vive after ALL"
what makes you so cheery?'
Little Luther asked. "Did some
body lost the recipe for the atomic
bomb ?"
"No, son. Better than that
Somebody just had brainstorm.
We're going to abolish the veto,
then we're going to pass law, an
international law, planetary law,
great big son of a gun of a
law"
"That wasn't a brainstorm, said
Little Luther. at was a cyclonic
monsoon hurricane at the very
least. What's the law going to be
about ?"
"Oh, | don't know exactly" Mr..
Dilworth said. "But it'll be a hum
dinger, don't you worry. When we
can pass laws without bunch of
foreigners vetoing them then, you
see, the United Nations will be
just like Congress. All we need to
do is send couple of lobbyists
over to Lake Success and every
thing will come out all right"
"Just the way the MANS going
to send a couple of lobbyists down
to Washington, you mean, and get
law passed against strikes and
unions and things?"
Exactly, Luther. That's just the
type of thing. Why argue with
people when you can pass a law
against them? And America, !
don't need to tell you, leads the
world"
"In lobbying, anyway" Luther
assented.
"And in saving time by passing
laws" said Mr.. Dilworth.
81 suppose you're right" said
Little Luther "There hasn't been
a single trust since the Sherman
antitrust act was passed. AS
everyone knows, the 10Th amend
ment put an end to the liquor bust
ness. And who's heard of strike
since the Smith-Connally bill be-
came a law? | understand people
quit eating as soon as the OPA
repeater was passed"
"Ah, peace, it's wonderful" Mr..
Dilworth exclaimed.
Especially since the Kellogg
BRAND treaty outlawed war;" said
Little Luther. "And now, if you'll
excuse me, Pm going to run down
and see if my congressman can
have bill passed to examine you
head"

Culinary Workers
Win Wage Raises

Los Angeles (FP)-More than
5000 culinary workers in 81 Class
A restaurants won wage increases
ranging from 60 cents to $3.40 a
day under a strike settlement
agreement reached here by the
local joint executive board of Gull.
mary Workers & Bartenders and)
the restaurant owners.
The settlement set aside an arbi-
tration award handed down Sept.
IL which ordered wage reductions
up to 40 per cent in some in
stances. After a 1-week strike of
some 5000 cooks, walters, wait
resses, bartenders and miscellan-
eous employees, the employers
agreed to negotiate wage rates
above the arbitration award.

increased inventories has been
one of the main developments in
the production-price decontrol sit
uation, with the artificial meat
famine as the clearest example,
Ira points out.
Producers strikes have cut
across a number of major indus
tries. This was confirmed Oct. 18
by the conservative u. S. News,
which reported: "Gambling on a
crack in control of prices is tend
ing to keep many goods back from
consumers. Meat has been just an
example, not an isolated case. It's
just that everybody can see the
meat on the farms but often can
not see the goods in the ware
houses"
Although by July 1916 real pay
rolls had fallen 35 per cent below
the peak in 1914, various indexes
show the continuing upward trend
in retail prices have reached the
highest point in more than 25
years.
The Fairchild index on price
goods, clothing and home furnish
ings reports the retail price adj
vance at close to 45 per cent over
the 1939-40 period. The u. S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics index
reported the general cost of living
increase at 46 per cent above
August 1889 Food, one of the
most important items in the index,
had risen by over 83 per cent in
the same period, clothing was up
over 50 per cent and house furnish
ings 81 per cent.
Realization that rising prices
will force a sales slump comes
from many sources. Barron's ex-
planned the downward sales trend
Oct. Ia by saying that prices con-
tinue to rise while consumer in
comes are leveling off" In a more
fearful vein, the New York Jour
nal of Commerce declared Oct. Is:
"As producers must look more and
more to the middle and lower in
come groups for their customers,
there is no assurance that the de-
mand will still be there if prices
keep going higher"
But while a depression would hit
hard at labor, which has virtually
no savings to fall back on, indus
try can count on the highest prof
its in history to cushion the fall. |
Net profits, after taxes, Of u. S.
in the current quar-
ter are expected to run at an an
nual rate of nearly IA billion dol
lars, Ira reports. That would be |
far above the actual profits real
lied in any war year, the peak
having been reached in 1943 when
total profits, after taxes, We're 80
billion dollars.

Telephone Group
May Strengthen
Their Union

Denver (FP) Proposals to
transform the National Federation
of Telephone Workers into close
ly integrated national union rep
resenting 100000 workers headed
the agenda here as the 18th as
sembly met Nov. A for a two week
session.
Delegates from AZ member
unions gathered to consider a new
constitution that would replace the
present loosely-federated form of
organization with a stronger, cen
tralized administration.
Some $50 delegates representing
operators, construction and main
tenance workers, clerical, engin-
eering and the manufacturing
search divisions of the industry
are in attendance.
The new constitution was ap-
proved ain principle" at the NFTW
convention in Galveston, Tex. last
June and was submitted to mem
ber unions for their consideration
in September.
Also on the agenda for the meet
ing here will be the framing of
policy for collective bargaining
and a determination of demands to
be served on the industry when
most NFTW contracts expire next
March.
Because of NFTW policy,
union spokesman said, it is not ex-
pected that the meeting here will
authorize immediate wage increase
demands. The amount to be asked
will be determined in March, he
said.

Rubber Workers
Demand 25-Cenf
Hourly Increase

South Bend (FP)-A 25 cents
hourly wage increase for workers
in the nations rubber and allied
industries will be demanded by the
United Rubber Cork Linoleum &
Plastic Workers Union it was an
nounced here.
The demand was decided upon
by the unions policy committee
which at its meeting just concluded
here also declared the specific
figure is Subject to upward re-
vision in the event any further
substantial increases occur in the
cost of living between now and the
time the settlement is made"
An effective date of Nov. / was
set for the demand, to provide a
backstop for retroactive increases
should negotiations between the
union and the companies be pro-
longed.
President l.. S. Buckmaster said
negotiations would be opened OH
a Big Four basis as soon as pos
sible, in accordance with terms of
a union contract with the Good
year Goodrich, Firestone and U.
S. Rubber companies. This pro-
videS for reopening Of the wage
issue, "but only on a Accompany
basis"
Local unions outside the Big
Four were advised by the commit
tee "to make demands upon en-
ployers wherever their agree
ments permit" Of $50 locals only
about six have contracts not per-
mitting renegotiation of wages.

Senate eGroup
Not Through
With Bilbo

Washington (FP)-The Senate
War Investigating Committee is
not yet through with Sen. Theo-
dore Bilbo, his alleged deals with
war contractors, and his private
dream house" complete with arti-
ficial lake.
The committee, interrupted by
the election campaign, will check
into Bilbo's relations with war con-
tractors soon after the election, it
was learned here. The Klansman
may have to talk fast to explain
dissertations that he used his Sen
ate office to get contracts for his
friends, who in turn remodeled
Bilbo's Poplarville, Miss. estate as
Christmas present in 1941.
The Senate Campaign Expendi-
lures Committee is still probing
charges that Bilbo violated federal
election laws in last springs pri-
mary when he led move to keep
Negroes from exercising their
right to vote.
Bilbo faces a threat to his SEN
ate seat from another direction as
well, since several organizations
are circulating petitions for sigma
ture addressed to the U. S. Sen
ate, asking that Bilbo be barred
because of his admitted member
ship to the Ku Klux Klan and un-
fitness for office in a democracy.

Cool Tulks
Open; Lewis,
Krug Absent

Washington (FP) - Owners of
U. S.-seized coal mines sulked in
their Shoreham hotel headquarters
Nov. l as the federal government
met representatives of the United
Mine Workers to discuss new ar
rangements affecting wages,
hours, rules and practices.
UNIV President John l.. Lewis
absented himself from the opening
talks until the arrival here of In
terror Secretary julius A. Krug,
but sent UNIV Vice President
John O'Leary to head the union
delegation. Capt. N. H. COLLISION,
coal mines administrator for Krug,
spoke for the government.
While the meeting was in pro-
gress, the bituminous operators re-
leased a statement indicating deep
displeasure at their role as specta-
tors while "a few powerful politi-
clans and another government of
ficial, whose intimate relationship
with the President of the UNIV
has been well known in coal circles
for years (are) making decisions
involving highly important mat,
ters without consulting the own
ers of the Mines"
The reference to another gov
ernment official" was a blow at
Reconversion Director John r.
Steelman, and the statement called
the "abject surrender by govern
ment" public disgrace and a
shame"

London Transit Industry
Accepts Closed Shop Pact

New York City (ILNS) - The
American office of the lnterna-

tion reports that as result of dis
cussions between the Lon d o n
Transport Board and the Trans
port and General Workers Union,
the board has agreed that all its
bus and tram drivers and conduct
ors must be members of the
TGWU. Non-members are first
to be given a chance to join, but if
they refuse they must leave the
boards service. Explanation for
this move is the existance of a
dual union, formed by a group of
TGWU members in 1888, and
claiming a membership of 1000 in
the service of the board.

YOUR DOLLAR
By CONSUMERS UNION

Union, according to GUS radio en-
gineers. The best that can be said
for these two receivers is that
neither is good enough to be rec
commended, except with very SER
ious reservations.
Better of the two was the An
drea at S125. 1t performed reason
ably well in spite of its small
screen (5 inch) and the fact that
its sound quality left much to be
desired. The Viewtone at $169.95
was rated Not Acceptable when
Gu found that the two samples
tested produced poor pictures.
AUTO BATTERIES
The general overall quality of
auto batteries hasn't changed very
much since Consumers Union test
ed them in 1888. Twenty-seven
brands ranging in price from $4.90
to STATS were submitted to SER
les of tests, with the greatest
weight in the rating being given
to the number of times a battery
could be discharged and recharged
before it reached the end of its
useful life. This number varied
from below the standard set by
the federal government for the
batteries it buys to well above the
standard.
Rated as Best Buys by Gu were
Kwik Start Type HI montgomery
Ward retail stores) at $40 less
rs cents trade-in allowance, Coop
Type ZG-1 at $500 available at
Cooperative stores and Sears ALL
state Cross Country Heavy Duty,

charges less 75 cents trade-in al
lowance.
BLANKETS
When you shop for a blanket,
you can expect to find about the
same quality as in 1910 but at
higher price, Consumers Union re-
ports. In some cases, you may be
asked to pay more for thinner,
lighter, weaker blanket than you
did for good quality blanket of
the same brand back in 1910.
A blanket, to give satisfaction,
should be warm, durable, washable
and large enough to be comfort
able in use, with plenty of tuck-in.
Much can be learned by simply
examining a blanket in the store
for springiness, evenness of weave,
firmness, well-anchored nap and
Of color.
On the basis of laboratory tests
for thickness, thread count, shrink
age, weight and fading, Gu rated |
as Best Buys Mariposa Broadmoor

FM RADIOS


Bad news for prospective pur-
chasers of FM radios is that only
two sets out of the first eight test
ed were rated Acceptable in Con-
sumers Unions first report on FM
radios. The letters FM refer to a
new kind of radio broadcasting and
receiving apparatus, as opposed to
AN, the present standard broad
casting. Among the advantages of
FM or frequency modulation are:
more faithful reproduction of tone,
wider range from loud to soft
in music and greater ability to
suppress interference from static
and from other stations. But these
advantages can be obtained only
from well designed FM receiving
set. Gu hoped to find a moderate
ly-priced receiver good both on
AN or standard broadcast band,
and FM. 1t is still searching.
The only two sets so far found
Acceptable by Gu are: Zenith
12H090, a console with record
changer, AM and FM sections, at
s329.40, and Strombberg- Carlson
1921 LW, a console with AM and
FM sections at s209.75.

 Let us thank heaven for the Duchess Of Windsor, who once again has demonstrated her wonderful ability to push almost any competitor for publicity off the front pages whenever she decides By herself, the Duchess is almost the equivalent Of a World Series Indeed we remember a little contest for public atten- ton in the early autumn of 1S43 between the Duchess and World Series, which ended in dead heat, very much like the recent contest for the canplonShlp or the National League
 Thus when the word came recently from London that the Duchess had managed to get herself robbed of large number of valuable jewels editors very promptly forgot such tres the Goering suicide mystery the atom bomb the meat crisis, the coming Congressional elections the hotel strike, MT Byrnes peace treaty and the of the Dreamboat to give this latest bit of Wallyana the treamnt it deserved Almost every afternoon newspaper gave 1t banner lines in their early editions and of the taboids gave it whole page
 And in this, We say, they exhibited a thoroughly sound professional instinct Many of us doubt feel it conscientious duty to worry about the ultimate atomic war and the role of the livestock industry in our domestic politics But what really hope to find when we settle down to a quiet evening with the public prints is some good old prewar stuff about the splendors and miseries of high life.
 Such persons as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor awake in us all sorts of nostalgia memories. They return us to the glitterng world of the oldfashoned Sunday supplements, charmingly peopled with Amer- can heresses amorous grand dukes, suave inter national crooks agents of the French suree and divers after deep-sea treasure The Duke and Duchess are about all of that world that is left but wherever they go and in whatever they may do they take with them faint whiff of it's fragrance and an echo If its dangerous waltz tunes. Sooner or later, we nope. Scotland Yard will catch up with the thief and recover Wallys jewels but trust they will not be in too big hurry about it, and will allow the story 10 run for at least few days longer.
