AT least. under the democrats, we have money
tc eat whether ,e pay taxes or not.

There has been a rebellion against the
democratic administration. ana some very
sighting remarks about bureaucrats nave
baon made but if il weren't for the bureau
crafts. the business interests would be robblng
the people without protection at all.
Now take the meat shortage; recently
the government discovered several million
nounds of beef boarded in Chicago, New
York and kansas City. These packlng-house
outfits didn't want to release the meat be-
cause they were holding out Tor higher prices.
And the farmers were not innocent elher.
Years ago when we were on the farm we
were GLAD to get Sl5 for a thousand pound
steer. Now it is nothing to get 5000 or $40
for a thousand pound prime steer.
Well. who is making the money! 1t GER
tainlv isn't the working man-the poor devil
he's between the devil and the deep plue
sea. lie hasn't enough money to feed ms
familv-the prices have skyrocketed beyond
his means to pay for the necessities OF ME

and clothing.
During the lowest period OF the depres-
sion. the national income was estimated at
about SAB, 900 900 900. President hoose-
Welt once made the remark. | believe, that ne
hoped to bring the national income to $780,
00O. OOO. 600. ms year one OF tHe govern
ment agencies estimates the annual income
at $50. 900. O00. 600. and yet there is poverty
throughout the nation. When the service
men spend their 500 a week that they are
entitled to, there is certainly going to be a
decline in the purchasing power OF the peo-
pie Of the United States-and it has already
started.
So-let us be practical, let us visualize the
economic and social conditions as they exist
and not try to kid ourselves.

VETS GET LARGE SHARE OF JOBS

War veterans are more than holding
their own in the better paying indus
trial jobs. the Department Of Labor
Bureau Of Labor Statistics reported
last week.
Former els now make up Is per
cent Of all employment in manufac-
turing industries.

same dollar and cents raise.
 That is. all General Motors wage-earners would get about 25 cents an hour, plus insurance benefits. And some of the wage earners would receive larger raises. if their existing pay were lower than that of someone else doing the same work.
 Thus it is not blanket increase of 30 per cent. It is really an av- craze raise of 30 per cent.
 If there were worker whose pay accidentally happened to be the average wage for the whole company, it's true he would get a 30 per cent increase. But all other workers would get either less or more than 30 per cent.
 In the General Motors case, the Presidents fact-finding board rec commended a general increase of 1912 cents an hour-an average raise of about l71S per cent. The board deliberately ducked the question of an insurance program and the elimination of inequalities, leaving those matters to the union and the corporation to work out.
 Some For Insurance
 The union accepted the propos- al. The corporation refused it. If both parties had accepted, would this have meant that every Gen. eral Motors worker would have gotten a raise of 1912 cents an hour?
 Not necessarily.
 A union spokesman says the union no doubt would have ex- pected to use part of the 1912 cents for the insurance program and the elimination of inequalities.
 The union and corporation would have had to settle this by collective bargaining.

INFORMATION SOUGHT ABOUT MISSING MEN

The Governors office has re- ceived a request for information about the following two men:
 LOUIS A. HILL-first left for Alaska about 1900 and remained in Alaska until about 1906, when he returned to Aberdeen, Wash ington, and returned to Alaska about 1908. Age about 90, feet tall. His nephew, Keith J. Johnson of Everett, Washington, is inter ested in securing information con- corning him. Anyone having in- formation concerning this man is asked to write to the Governors Office in Juneau.
 ALFRED GRANFORS Cor GRAN-Last known to have been
The Nome nugget., 1946-02-18

in Juneau in 1916 Had previously been at Nome in 1908. Age about 57, about feet tall, Swedish de- cent. Dark hair at that time. His nephew, John Ivan Johnson of Minneapolis, Minnesota, is inter ested in securing information con- corning him as there is an estate in Sweden of which MT. Granfors is an heir, and it cannot be settled without locating him. Anyone hay ing information concerning this man is asked to write to the Gov ernor's Office in Juneau.
The Nome nugget., 1946-02-18

centage increase. They say that when the same percentage of in- crease is applied to each worker, the neediest people get the small est raises.
 For example, suppose a certain percentage is given to everybody in a plant. Tom Smith, common laborer making relatively low wages, gets a much smaller in- crease than Jim Brown, skilled workman operating complicated machine. And the wage gap be- tween Smith and Brown grows wider.
 That's why the CIO Steelwork- CTS Union asked for a flat amount of raise for every worker (25 cents an hour; later reduced to 1872 cents).
 How Ii Works
 Then what about the auto work CTS demand of 30 per cent?
 The Auto Union decided to ask each company for a 30 per cent in- crease in its wages-taken as a whole. That is, it would demand solid chunk of money amounting to 30 per cent of the company's straight-time wage payroll.
 This 30 per cent chunk would be divided in an interesting way.
 Part of it would be used for an insurance program sick pay, death benefits, etc. - for all the workers. Part of it would be used to eliminate wage inequalities within each company. The union argues that people doing the same work for the same company should get the same pay, even if they work in different sections of the country.
 Divided Up
 The remainder of the 30 percent would be split up equally among all the workers. Thus Tom Smith and Jim Brown would get the

Chinese Reds Offer
To Talk Peace Under
Rigorous Conditions
By the Asseeio,ed Press

NANKING, Dec. ,6.-The Chinese
Communists offered today to make
a fresh start" at peace negotiations
but under such rigorous conditions
that sources close to Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek said there was no
possibility the offer would get Seri-
GUS consideration.
The offer came in the form of a
formal communication from Gen.
Chou En-lai, chief Communist ne
gotiator now back in Menan, to-
Gen. George G. Marshall, special
American envoy.
Gen. Chou described the terms as
the only ones under which the Com
munists would consider resuming
negotiations. They were:
/. The Kuomintang government
party) must dissolve Immediately
the National Assembly, which now
is meeting in Marking drafting a
new constitution. The Communists
have refused to attend.
2. The government must restore
the military situation to the status
of January Is, which would require
government armies to give up broad
stretches of North China wrested
from the Communists since then.
Marshall Expected to Leave.
Some quarters close to the general
issimo considered this "last offer"
had blasted all hopes of further ne
gotiations as well as the continua-
ton of active American mediation.
They regarded the letter, which
Gen. Chou asked Gen. Marshall to
forward to the generalissimo, as a
new attempt by the Communists to
toss responsib ility for final split
on the government.
1t was predicted that Gen. Mar
shall, in the face of the latest de-
velopment, would make preparations
to return to Washington, at least for
conferences, as soon as the National
Assembly ends.
The assembly voted yesterday to
wind up floor discussion and hold its
final meeting December 10.
In Peiping, government reports
said national vanguards marched
to within seven miles of Dairen as
Chinese Communists in the area
accelerated their withdrawal. OBJ

While the Marines guarded the
line, service between Peiping and

ed but since the government took
over, Chinese Communists have at
tackled trains, destroyed rails or
blown up bridges almost daily.

Big gEeonomie Changes
Planned by Indians
With independence
By Phillips Tolbot
foreign Correspondent of The sior
ond the Chicoqo Daily News

and the Chicago Daily News
NEW DELHI, India, July IL
What will Indian independence
really mean to Rashid, the peasant,
and Teenu, the city worker?
Not much Immediately in solid
achievement, many thoughtful In
dians agree, although political en-
thusiasm for obvious administrative
reforms probably will give the gov
ernment wide and willing support.
But over the next Is years
changes will be vast, nationalists
predict. "Give us time" one econ
omist-politician said Even Soviet
Russia was not transformed in a
month"
This is the day of economic
schemes in India. Few have
reached final form, but the common
goal is to raise the average Indian s
annual income from about $40 to
$40 within IS years. This feat would
require major overhauling of the
Indian economic system.
Peasants Hopes Raised.
The peasant is told that he will
obtain bigger and more certain
crop returns from introduction of
new farming methods, further irri-
CATION, debt relief, land ownership
reforms and possibly the co-opera-
tive farm. The city man is prom
ised higher minimum wages, i'm
proved housing, further education
and much greater range of goods
for his family and home
All will be offered the benefits
of better road and rail facilities,
additional electric power, improved
public health and medical services
and extended scientific and indus
trial research.
A possible hitch in most current
plans is their dependence on Indian
economic unity.
For many strong reasons, A ma

tional government with adequate
powers could speed the moderniza-
ton of India.
/. The time is ripe for change. In
this generation, many ancient rural
customs. such as the position of a
money lender in village, are be-
coming legal relationships and, thus,
are subject to the will of the
legislature.
Suffrage to Be Extended.
Freedom of religion" cannot be
invoked by Hindus and Moslems
against social reforms if the govern
ment is composed of persons of the
same faiths, rather than of alien
Christians.
