 Cutters Answer
 Leaders of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Work men CAFL) replied to Labor Secre- tary Lewis B. Schwellenbach's re- quest to postpone the strike with an offer to settle for a l5-cent-an- hour increase and return to work Monday morning.
 There was no indication, however, that the packing industry would offer such a pay boost.
 The CIO Clearinghouse Workers Union stood by its original demand for an immediate 1715 cents hourly raise from the big packers. The CIO demand actually amounted to 25 cents, with the remainder to be negotiated later.
 Hormel Accedes
 Only firm to accede to the CLOS wage demand was the Hormel Company of Austin, Minn., which announced that it would pay l7h cents more with the intention oi seeking a price increase of at least one-half cent a pound. Hormel em- ployes did not participate in the nationwide walkout.
 Several smaller firms. notably the Hygrade Food Products Corpora ton graneed AFL and CIO workers a l5-cent an hour increase. The contracts were left open, depending on the national wage picture.
 Highest offer from any of the big packers was that of Swift & Company which said it would raise wages 10 cents an hour if granted compensatory price relief.

 To Take Its Time
 The House Labor Committee re- fuses to be stampeaed into consider ation Of legislation for which MT. Truman has been demanding im- me diate passage for about six weeks. The measure embodies a Iact-find- ing process which would impose a 30-day cool!ng-of period before strikes and open corporation books to government wage fixers.
 The House committee begins hear ings today on a bill to return the United States Employment Service to state control on June 30, i947. The issue is highly controversial. Hearings will continue into next week. Thereafter the committee is expected to resume hearings on MT. Trumar's fact-fnding pro- posal.
 Not Far Enough
 Although labor leaders generally have denounced the fact-finding plan because Of the enforced 30-day cooling of period, the bill does not go far enough toward curbing strikes in the opinion of many House members.

WE POINT WITH PRIDE

Quite some time ago we advocated higher pay for
teachers in these columns. Then there was some talk
about the need for raising teachers pay on a national
scale, but now the comments on this matter are at
flood-tide.
We're glad we said it fairly early in the CAM
paign, and we want to reiterate it. When two of our
best known radio comedians have something to say
on the subject in one night. we know a lot of people
who don't read magazine articles or this column on the
subject hear about it.
Fibber McGee's remark was brief but pointed
he said in effect that he didn't see how teachers could
get high ideas with such low pay. Bob Hope devoted
several minutes to the question, which he discussed in
a serious vein.
We heard a good deal about what teachers in coal
mining towns had to say on the subject of the coal
strike. Many of them arc getting only half, and some
times only about a third Of the wages of coal miners.
1t doesn't seem right somehow.
Salaries locally have gone up somewhat in the
teaching profession. They had to if we were to Oh
tain teachers. But the cost of living has gone up too.
We're all for the St. Paul teachers and their strike.
Of course this school district and all the others in the
country derive their funds from taxation and their bud
gets must be adhered to, once they are set. The money
has to come out Of the pockets Of the taxpayers-so it
is up to all of us, not just the school board and super
intendent. They can't do a thing unless the public
wants it done.

WE VIEW WITH ALARM

Tuesday was a bad day for the hose and TROUSERS
of Hardin. And alas for the poor benlghted citizens
(~including ourselves) who took a look out the front
Window At home, decided the sidewalks looked pretty
drv at that, and left rubbers and overshoes at home!
We should have known better.
AS seems usual after a thaw, the Intersections
were a sea Of liquid gumbo which flew IN all directions
whenever a car passed or a pedestrian took a firm step,
with resulting havoc to the neither garments OF the IN
nocent bvstander.
1t is a condition that has been the source OF many
a grippe here for a good many years. Hardin has lots
of paved streets. but muck from the unpaved areas
does get carried downtown. and we admit frankly that
in freezing weather it is well-nigh impossible to clean
it off, especially when mixed with ice and snow.
We do have a suggestion to offer. Nouldn t It

VA Claims Service Is
Big Business
While most World War II
veterans are concerned primar-
lily with benefits provided them
by the G. I. Bill, guaranteed
loans and education and train
ing prepaid, the Veterans ad-
mrniStration has another big
job-the traditional function Of
providing compensation and
pension for disabled veterans
dependents of veterans of all
wars.
About one-thrd of veterans
of World War II in the North
west have filed claims with the
VA for disability benefits. APP
proximately $4,000 are receiving
payments for disabilities in
CURED during World War II.
Payments range from $3.50 to
$500 monthly based on the de-
gree and type of disability. Al
most half of all claims filed
and processed by the VA result
in an award.
World War 1 Widows
May Be Eligible
Ignorance of the law may be
preventing some eligible World
War I widows from receiving
pensions, says the Veterans ad-
mrlistration. The law requires
that:
/. The veteran served 80 days
or had a service-connected dis
ability.
2. The widows income does
not exceed $4,000 if there are
minor children or $1,000 if not.
8. The marriage date was
prior to December IA, 1914, and
that the widow has not since
remarked.
If a widow meets these eligi-
bility requirements, she may re-
ceive $42 per month for her
self, SIP for one child and Sc
each for any other minor chill
dren.
The VA emphasizes that these
rates and income limitations
apply only to widows whose
husbands deaths were not
caused by disabilities incurred

Jolson is to have missed one of the

He wasn't just a comedian: he

face. He was a thing Of watts and

he was still in the wings and when

He was a great Snowman without
