$25,OOO Wasted By Legion Over Superseniority.
Union Legionnaires Score Anti Union Stand In
 Futile Fight

CHICAGO (LPA)-The Ameri- can Legion's reactionary champion. ship of Selective Service Director Lewis Hershey's anti-labor super seniority notions, repudiated three times by Federal courts, was slapped this week by a group of the LegiOn's own members.
 The National Conference of Union Labor Legionnaires in its March newsletter asks, "Has Larry Fenlon chairman of the Legion's national employment committee, led the Le- zion up blind alley in supporting Hershey's superseniority interpreta- ticn? Is he also responsible for the spending of $25,O0O by the Legion in a foolish endeavor to make a test case of superseniority? Judge for yourself =
 Cites Cases
 "The U. s. Circuit Court of Ap- peals," the Union Legionnaires point out, reversed the decision of Judge Abruzzo and held that 1t was not the intent of the selective service act to grant stepup in the seniority rights of a veteran. Judge Learned Hand wrote that it seems to us beyond de- bate that 1t was not intended that the veterans should gain in seniority"
 Meanwhile, throughout the coun- try employers gradually abandoned any hopes that they could use su- perseniOrity as a wedge between uniOnists and veterans, or that the Supreme Court would reverse the three lower courts that found su- per-seniOrity was not intended by Congress. Newest and largest em. pIOyer to junk the idea was Cener- al Motors last week.

Federal Reserve Board Tells Truth On Record Breaking
 Post-War Output

WASHINGTON (LPA) = The editorial hOwlers about strikes de- stroying American production and the nations recOnversiOn program should have strangled on their own words last week as the Federal Re- serve Board reported that U. s. postwar production has already surpassed every record in Ameri- can history.
 Production in the whole economy said the Board, including agricultu- ral as we'll as nonagricultural types of activity is now above the level of any peacetime period and substantially above the average for the years 1885 to l9o1' Employment
 The Board also found that "Em- ployment in all major lnies of activity except agriculture, mining and con struction is above the advanced l94l level. Unemployment was around 2,- 100000 in February, considerably less than the 1o41 average of 5,000,0OO and the 1o3o average of 9,000,O0O.
 Output of most goods and serv' ices,'' said the Board, ''is close to the capacity of the cOuntry's re- sources under present conditions Total incomes received by the civilian population have probably increased by about lO%o since last September, more than Offsetting sharp declines in Federal pay. ments to the armed forces as de- mobilization slashed the number of military personnel"

Wage Ceilings Retained Only On Lowest Paid
Cotton Field Workers Need Relief From Strangling
 Pay Restrictions

MEMPHIS UPA)-The only hard-and-fast wage ceilings left in the United States are imposed by the Department of Agriculture on America's worst-paid Iaborers-the cotton field workers in the south.
 This IS the charge of the National Farm Labor Union, formerly called the Southern Tenant Farmers Union, which is fighting to have the wage restrictions lifted. An election is be- ing held this week in Mississippi to decide whether or not the government shall set ceiling on wages of cot ton choppers at $2 qg $250 day. These wage rates were recommend ed by cotton planters at two hearings held by the board with the majority favoring $2 per day with no limitation on the number of hours to be worked.
 Circulates Appeal
 The Union has circulated 10000 handbills urging all cotton producers in Mississippi to vote against the cell ing. If necessary, the union will chal- lenge the legality of the ceiling in the courts, union president H. L. Mitchell predicted. As last resort, he said, the union will call on all cotton chop pers to refuse to work for "this mis- erable wage"
 Mitchell made public a letter of support from AFL President Will liam Green, and said he had received assurances of support from the Ma ticnal Farmers Union, organization of family farmers, and from the Ma ticnal Association for the Advance ment of Colored People The Nation al Farm Labor Union is independent but, according to Mitchell, main tains- a working relationship with the AFL."

THE WAY TOPEACE

"The world will either move forward toward unity and widely shared prosperity or it will move apart into necessarily competing blocs. We have a chance, we citizens of the United States, to use our influence in favor of more united and cooperative world. Whether we do so will determine as far as it is in our power, the kind of lives our grandchildren can live."-FrankIin Delano Roosevelt-mes- sage to Congress, February 20, 1945.

Washington-OPA last week
dealt out price increases hand over
fist to comply with the new law.
but refused another general boost
for automobile ceilings.
The agency announced its new
"recontrol'' of prices on fats and
oils setting ceilings on margarine
and shortcomings one cent a pound
above the June 80 level when the
retail controls are restored Sept.
g.
Tires went up two and one-halt
per cent, and ceilings for many
popular make trucks were raised.
But OPA denied the plea of au-
tomobile dealers for a three per
cent retail increase to cover han
ding charges of new cars. This
averted another general price in
crease on top of the 7.3 per cent
rise allowed for new automobiles
two weeks ago.
However, OPA announced it
would grant increases to individ-
ual dealers if they could prove
they customarily charged more
for "handling and preparation"
before the war.
This solution. OPA said, will
comply fully with the legal re-
quirement that profit margins be
restored to prewar levels.
The decision climaxed OPA's
busiest day since its rebirth a
month ago
Following up Tuesdays decision
by the Price Decontrol Board to
restore fats oils, meats and mix
ed feeds to price control, the
agency fixed Observation-Disclosures
ceilings for mixed feeds, along
with fats and oils. Meat prices
are in preparation.
The Decontrol Beard also di-
recte0 the restoration of the meat
subsidies in effect June %. Stabil-
ization Director john R. Steel
man Yesterday set September l
as the date for their restoration.
Bakers flour was sent up seven
cents per hundred pounds at Min
neapolis, and OPA announced
that the r~:c.e to consumers would
stay put at the present level.
But cotton bedspreads and
tablecloths went up 20 per cent
and white meat tuna rose three
cents a can. while the price agency
reported that overalls and other
cotton work clothing will climb
10 per cent at retail in three to
six weeks.
Many of the days increases
were rushed out to meet a mid
light deadline for compliance
nth the Wherry amendment to
ne OPA act. This requires that
'ealers be allowed the full per-
entage margin of profit that they
'eceived on March 81. -
The amendment prompted a
five per cent increase on cotton
hosiery and anklets, 20 per cent
increase on cotton bedspreads and
table linen, and varying increases
on other cotton goods including
handkerchiefs, mems waterproof
garments, rope and Irvine, and
some part-wool blankets.
