Recipient of this award from
the War Department was A. E.
Jones.
In citation accompanying
the Navy certificate Admiral
Mathews stated:
Outstanding Service
Through the Utilities War
time Aid Program, your COM
pany rendered invaluable SER
vice to the Naval shore establish
ments and to those defense plants
engaged in building ships and
planes and numerous other items
required by the Navy to wage sue
cessful warfare. This service was
outstanding in efficiency and con-
tinuity, resulting in great savings
Of manpower and materials, and
was real contribution towards
victory.
This demonstration of planning
action, ingenuity and cooperative
ness during this emergency is to be
commended. It is indeed a plea
sure to me to affix my signature
to the attached statement of ap-
probation and to say We'll done
to all hands in your organization. !"
Lauds Management
The scroll lauds the company's
management and employees "for
meritorious service and outstand-
ing performance rendered beyond
normal responsibility during World
War H."
In presenting the certificates OF
appreciation to the electrical engi-
neers who served as co-ordinators
in the Fourth Service Command,
General Newman said that they
and the co-ordinators in other
service commands comprise the
largest single group of civilians
to be so recognized by the War
Department"
No Labor Trouble
Speaking of the important serv-
ice performed by the electric COM
panies during the war, General
Newman declared, 'T am told that
there is no record where power
services were found wanting. !
am also informed, and I wish to
compliment management an d
labor, that there were no stop
pages of the flow of electricity
due to labor troubles. Such devo-
ton to duty and personal respon-
sibility is worthy of highest COM
mendation.
He cited the interconnection OF
electric transmission lines of varl-
GUS southeastern utilities in 1924.
as an example of the pooling OF
resources which was a vital factor
to winning the war.
Difficulties Overcome
"You were ready" General New
man said, "and the difficulties OF
new equipment during
the war were largely overcome by
your foresight"
Calling for strong Army and
Navy in peacetime to assure the
nations future security, he re-
Never again will this or
any other nation have time to
train a military force or produce
the weapons of war after hostilities
have begun.

man who withheld use Of his name.
He said shipments of mems suits
would have to be discontinued be-
cause OPA had not liberalized its
order to take into account price ad-
justments authorized last March IL.
OPA officials discounted this on
the ground that these adjustments
did not go into effect for the in
dustry as a whole until April Is.
They said that for this reason the
alteration of price ceilings could
not have had any effect on manu-
facturers' operations during the
first three months of this year.
Costs And Supply
Under the average price regula-
ton, manufacture are required tt
balance output of high cost suits
with the supply of inexpensive gar
ments. If they do not meet this re.
quirement during a quarterly peri
cd, nor strike a balance within the
following month, they may make
further shipments only under GER
tain conditions.
The most recent quarterly period
ended on March 81. The 30-day
grace period expires April 30.
Its obvious" an OPA official
said, that the adjustment of suit
prices on March II could nave had
little effect on the industry's op-
erations during the last quarter, es-
pecially when a great many manu-
facturers did not put the price
revisions into effect until some time
this month, after the quarter had
ended"
The official predicted, however,
that the maximum average price
order probably would have ''to be
eased somewhat because some
had not "been able
to obtain enough low priced IA
brio"

take costly measures like rcvolu-
tionizing the system of sales,
changing production methods,
bringing out new products, buy
ing new machinery.
Take the auto industry. In nor
NAL times it is a seasonal indus
try. The method of marketing
autos-with new models coming
out each fall-creates plenty of
work at certain times and long
layoffs at other times. To as

would probably require big
changes in the marketing sys-
tenn.
The construction industry is
another tough one.
Not An Annual Wage
And, incidentally, Johnston
made it clear that a guaranteed
wage" is not necessarily an IAN
nual wage" The guarantee may
be for less than q year and still
be an Improvement.
He said, at least in northern
states, it would be very diff
cult to stabilize employment
through the winters
But if you can give men en-
ployment during all of the build
ing season and maybe lay them
off four months of the year and
give them eight months of en-
ploymcnt, that is a lot better
than having them employed On
ly four or five months of the
year"
For. the purposes of the gov
eminent study, a guaranteed
wage plan is defined as " a plan
under which an employer guar
antees a wage or employment to
an individual worker for at least
three months"

Washington - Why guarantee
wages7 Why should an employ
er tell his workers. Il will guar
sntee you steady employment
for three. six, or twelve months?''
Here are some Of the main
arguments in favor Of the guar
anteed wage" which is fast be-
soming a ~hot" issue in labor
circles:
4. They give job security TO
the worker.
2. They provide the employer
with q more efficient working
force.
3. They reduce labor troubles
by making the workers more sat
isfied.
=. They are a step in the direc-
ton Of full production and full
employment (although nobody
claims they will cure all our eco
uomic illsl.
Erie Johnston's Idea

dent Of the U. S. Chamber OF

lines recently before a congress
sional committee. He said indus

within our economy, even more
50 than the atomic bomb, be-
cause that is something in the

distance, and this is with US to-
day"
One of the greatest causes Of
industrial unrest, he said. is
Job insecurity" Many people
work only spasmodically. Most
American workers get less than
200 days of work in a year.
Therefore
This job insecurity causes
slow-downs, as workers do not
want TO work themselves out of
a job. II causes workers to de-
mand higher wages than perhaps
they would if they had steady
employment"
S250.0n0 Study Begun
Johnston is a member of the
advisory board of the Office Of
War Mobilization and Recover
sion, which is sponsoring a $780,
900 study of guaranteed wages.
The big question about guar
anteed wages is not Should,
it be done?" but How can it
be doue?"
There is not much opposition
to guaranteed wages in principle.
Nearly all employers want a sta
BILE working force, and all EN-
ployes want more job security.
Yet, there is sure to be fierce up
position in certain industries
largely because of the difficult
problems involved, problems
usually recognized by the unions
as well as the employers.

Through the shadow of death to the

A thousand sweet memories is hold

To the places he blessed with his

The work that he left and the books

Speak mutely, though still with an
eloquence rare,
And the songs that he sang, the
words that he said,
Yet linger and sigh on the desolate
air.

Life Of st. Patrick COmmemOrated
Here With Observances Sunday

isle where the dirty vermin
musters:
Wher'er he put his dear forefoot
he murdered them in clusters.
The toads went hop, the frogs went
flop, slap dash into the water,
And the beasts committed suicide
to save themselves from slaugh-
ter"
1t seems that wherever st. Patrick
went he was preceded by a drum.
One time when going up hill to
preach a sermon that was to put an
end to snakes, he beat the drum so
vigorously it burst.
According to the legend, the snakes
then started to glide out of their
hiding places. Suddenly an angel
patched the drum, the sermon pro-
ceded, and all the reptiles vanished
as If by magic.
The shamrock, which is the sym
boil of the celebration, is worn in
commemoration of the fact that
when st. Patrick was preaching oil
the doctrines of the Trinity, he made
use of this plant bearing three
leaves on one stem as a symbol Of
great mystery.
Despite the legendary character oi
the account, the fact remains that st
Patrick accomplished much good ane
that he remains in the minds anC
hearts of countless millions at this
time of the year.
