RECENT SHIPMENTS OF N0NFERR0US
SCRAP METALS BREAKS RECORDS

Nonferrous scrap metal dealers re-
ported the shipment during June of
the largest tonnage of scrap metals
ever recorded in the history of the
dealer survey according to the Bur
eau of Mines, United States Depart
ment of the Interior. This followed
the announcement by the Office of
Price Administration of increases in
the prices of scrap copper and lead,
effective June 3. A total of 101,239
tons of all types of nonferrous scrap
metals was shipped during the month,
a gain of SO percent over the p year
low of 66,005 tons moved during May
Increases were registered in ship
ments of every classification of scrap
with the gains in the copper
and lead-tin groups accounting for So
and SO per cent respectively of the
total increase. Only once before, in
March 1915, have shipments to con-
sumers exceeded 100000 tons.
Little change was apparent in deal
ers' receipts of nonferrous scrap which
Turing June, totaled S9,823 tons, COM
pared with 89,49S tons during May.
This small gain was attributed to the
gain in receipts of lead and tin scrap,
Is receipts of all other metals were

er's utterances, one that brought OF
the peasant revolution in Germany il
the 18th century:
Before and all, if the princes and
lords (politicans, public officials and
landlords) wish to fulfill their office
keep their campaign promises) they
must prohibit and Danish the vicious
system of monopolies."
Yes, they had monopolies back in
those days, but they were midgets
compared to the monsters we have to-
day. But Luther goes on
"They have every sort of commodity
in their power and do with them just
as they please (hold them off the
market till OPA is killed. raise or
lower the price dover when they buy
and raise when they sell at their own
convenience and crush and ruin all
small-shop people (cooperatives) just
as the pike does with small fish" And
most of the small shop people echo
the voice of the monopolies by yelling
against price control"
"They (the monopolies) Luther
goes on, have brought things to such
a pass that all the rest of the world
must carry on business (including the
co-operatives) with the risk and dam
age today, losing tomorrow, while
they (the monopolies) continually
grow richer and richer, and make up
their losses with higher profits; so it
is no wonder that they are appropriate
ing to themselves the riches of the
whole world"
Why is all this permitted? Marcus
Arelius, Greek philosopher of the sec
ond century A. D. answers the ques-
ton. He said "And these poor profess
sional politicians (the only true phil
osophers of the world, so they think
so full of gravity, such profound lovers
Of justice and honesty-what wretches
they be in very deed; how vile and
contemplate in themselves. o man

fectly some of our congressman.
Well, as Miami, the Persian poet
of the 18th century, said, 81 am hold
ing mirror before thee; when it
show thy blemishes truly, it is folly
to break the mirror. Break myself"
Yes, and break your chains.
Another thing I'm trying to do is
find out if we are getting anywhere.
If so where? In social economics we
are still barbarians. Even in the
science of medicine and disease, for
example, we do not know how to cure
the common cold mr. bavfavar RI COW
nothing of cancer.
Then we wonder why people become
cynical, bitter radical. It's because we
are getting socially. Until |
we do something besides travel fast |
(and do nothing after we get there, |

NEGRO LEADERS SOUND.
CALL FOR GUSHING
OF BILB0

Washington. -FP)- When Sen.
Theodore (Klansman) Bilbo Cd. Miss.)
spouted his race hate views. over a
nationwide Mutual Broadcasting Co.,
network recently, he started some
thing.
Four outstanding Negro leaders
were given free time to broadcast an
answer to Bilbo from coast to coast
Aug. 20. They called for nationwide
demand that the senate refuse to seat
the lynch-minded demagogue.
Charles Houston of the Natl Assn.
for the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie said: "Bilbo by his appeals to VOL
ence and suppression of the Negro
vote in his primary campaign prevent
ed a free election by the qualified
voters of Mississippi" Unless the
senate disqualifies Bilbo, he said, 'it
makes a farce of the American de-
mand for free elections in the occupied
countries of Europe"
Thomas Richardson, Vice Pres. of
the United Public Workers (CIO),
claimed the lyncher has shown che
is already trying to smash the at
tempts of labor to organize for a de-
cent living. One of the main purposes
of Bilboism is the destruction of the
American labor movement and the per-
petuation of substandard wages, keep
ing the workers of the south in a
state of insecurity.
For its own survival, organized
labor is committed irrevocably to the
fight against Bilboism and all other
forms of native fascism."
Both Richardson and DR.. Max Yer
gan of the Natl. Negro Congress EN-
phasized the danger of ignoring Bilbo
as freak or joke 1.-THE mistake of
ignoring Hitler while he was persecut-
ing the Jews must not be repeated
with Bilbo while he persecutes the
Negroes" they said. Later he would
start full-time attack on other min
0rities, and everyone is a member of |
some minority group"

APPRENTICES ASKED TO
STAY ON VITAL JOBS

Il Washington. - (FP)- Rumblings of
dissatisfaction among Americas $1,000
building trades apprentices at the new
income ceilings allowed under the CT
bill of rights caused the Federal Com
mittee on Apprenticeship Aug. % to
urge trainees to stay on the job in
spite of drastic cut in their earnings.
Although no complete figures are
available, the indications are that
some apprentices are already leaving
for other jobs with higher weekly pay,
since the last-minute congressional
slash in CT allowances puts ceiling
Of $40 week on the single trainee's
earnings, and SAG for the married.
Labor Dept. spokesman told FEEDER
ated Press that $40 of building trades
apprentices are sex-seryicemen, most
of whom are drawing subsistence al
lowances from the government to sup
plement beginning wages. The CT bill
payments helped attract over 5000
new apprentices during July alone, FTP
was told
Housing Expediter Wilson Wyatt,
the Labor Dept. said, had recently
stated the building trades could use
three times the number of apprentices
now in training if the emergency
housing program is to be carried out |
on schedule. WAITS timetable, which |
he terms minimum one, calls for g.
100000 housing units by the end of |
1947.
The Veterans Administration offer
ed slight consolation to veterans by |
announcing that trainees keeping on
with training course without sub
sistence allowances should notify VA
to stop counting the time against their
eligibility. This will leave the door
open for future training or schooling,
VA says.
The new limits apply to both full
time trainees and students under the
CT bill who are working on the side
1t will not apply to disabled veterans
under Public Law 16.

Willernie, MINI.

We moderns boast of the great
changes that the centuries have
brought They have brought changes
in mechanics, but little in economic
morals. We still have our business
roots in the past For example, back
some 1,400 years B. G. an Egyptian
farmer said to his SON
Behold! thou rememberst not the
condition of the fella" (tenant farmer)
when the harvest is taken over. The
worms carry off half the corn"
(wheat) mice bound in the field
sparrows steal !. then the scribe"

HIMSELF Eat the bank and takes" the
rest.
That was 3,346 years ago. 1t is just
as true today as it was then.
If you are a wage-earner here's one
for you. Back 515 years B. c. Haggai
the prophet, said "He that earneth
wages earneth it to put into a bag
with holes" In other words it's already
spent before he gets it, even earns
it, by buying on credit.
A little more than hundred years
later (450 b. c. (before Christ was
born) Aristophanes, Greek satirist,
said-"As matters now stand (and
who will contradict IT'D the life of us
men is composed of a system of folly,
absurdity, madness, ay, downright
raving is disclosed; since how many
knave we see revel in wealth-the
rich heap up ill-gotten stores-and
how many a good man, by fortune
unblest, begging bread at the door,"
No change there, either.
In the third century B. G. Cato,
Roman censor, said, "Small thieves lie
in towers (jails) fastened to wooden
blocks; big ones strut about in gold
and silver"
Today there are many men out of
Jail who ought to be in for life.
In the first century A. d. Martial,
Latin poet, said to his friend, Aemili-

poor man you will always be. He
should have said poor and honest"
Even the dishonest poor has a chance. |
Look at the men who started on a |
stolen shoe string at the beginning of
the last war and who are now billion |

Coming down to the 18th century A.
D. Martin Luther (when he was real
rebel drew this picture:
"They businessmen have learned |
the trick of placing such commodities
as pepper ginger, saffron. in damp |
cellars in order to increase the weight |
Nor is there a single article of trade
whatever out of which they cannot
make unfair profits by false measur
ing, counting or weighing. They pro-
duce artificial colors, or put pretty
things at the top and bottom and
ugly ones in the middle; indeed there
is no end to their trickery and no
tradesman will trust another, for they
know each others ways"

days we have to enact pure-food laws

an army of inspectors to keep us from
