SAFETY COUNCIL NOTES

Mrs. William A. Cook, Chairman
of the Home Safety Committee of
the Delaware Safety Council, urg-
es all clubs, stores and other pub
lie places to be especially careful
OF fire during the Christmas holi-
days. Most OF them will be decor
ated and most will be crowded
during large part of the time.
Fire in any crowded public
building may easily lead to panic,
for the exits are often inadequate
to take care of so many people in
a hurry. Flammable decorations
should not be allowed in any pub
lie building. Waste materials should
be removed at once. No smoking
should be allowed in the building.
Aisles and exits must be kept
unObstructed and exits be clearly
marked. Sprinklers, hand hose
and fire eXtinguishers should be
kept ready to operate. Even buck
cts of water, widely distributed,
may mean the difference between
trivial fiareup and a holocaust.

GOVERNMENT BY EDICT.

In a welter of strikes and other
headline-claiming events we are in
danger of forgetting one of the
principal barriers to full produc-
tion-the enormously swollen Fede-
raj bureaucracy.
Over a period of many years, we
have become more and more a gov
enment of boards and bureaus. The
war period greatly intensified the
trend, as new administrative agen-
cies were created almost daily to
meet real or imagined problems. A
few of these parasites on the body
polite, such as the OPA, have just
about passed into the limbo of for
gotten things. But the vast majOri-
: ty of them remain-and their en-
plOyees hang tenaciously onto their
whether there is any need for
them or not.
These agencies have a mania for
issuing confused and often irrecOn-
ciliable orders and directives and
rulings. They are constant thorn
| in the side of industries which are
| trying to get rid of red tape and re-
turn to the business of producing
ing goods. On top of that, they are a
gigantic and unnecessary expense
TO the taxpayers. They specialize in
| government by edict, and no one
knows from one day to the next
what the edict may be.
| Clearing the government of the
dead wood should be one of the frs
jobs of the next Congress.
Milford chronicle., 1946-12-13
THAT INDUSTRIAL DOLLAR

A very large part of the puDllc
has a completely wrong conception
of what happens to the earnings Oh
industry. That is the gist OF some
recently published surveys.
One of these surveys, for exam
pie, produces the fact that the
average worker, including white
collar and technical men, believe
the average manufacturer makes 20
per cent on the volume of business
done in peacetime. The actual net
income, for the 1927-43 period, was
under three percent of sales
volume.
An exhaustive study of profits IN
the steel industry, made by Peter f.
Drucker, the well-knOwn writer on
corporation affairs, is Illuminating.
Many persons felt that steel wages
could be substantially increased by
cutting into the industry's profit
margin. The fact is, according to
Mr.. Drucker's analysis, that profits
are the smallest part of the steel
dollar. In 1914, out of each $7,10O
of product-value made by a steel
worker, the worker himself got 3d.
O3S. More than $1,000 went for ma
terial costs, $3.50 for debt interest,
5000 for depreciation, and $3.50 for
taxes. The profit earned was only
$205.
What this all adds up to is that
there is no miraculous method OF
raising wages by reducing profit. II
all Of an average industry's profits
were divided among it's workers, the
take per person would amount tc
only a week or twO's wages. Pay
can only be increased either by
raising the cost of the product tC
( the cOnsumer-Or by increasing
output per man-hOur. Under the
first method, no one benefits as pay
increases are automatically absorb
ed by higher living costs. Under the
/ second method everyone benefits
and the national standard of living
rises. That truth should be thor
Oughly understood by every prOduc
ing American.

on BEHALF OF THE CONSUMER

An example of how aggressive re-
tailers work to protect the pocket
books of the consumer is found in
the state of Oregon.
That state has a milk control law
whose main purpose is to assure
the farmer fair price for the milk
he produces-and, as Oregon is an
important dairy state, this purpose
is almost universally approved. The
law also provides, as a necessary
cOrOllary, that state control board
fix the minimum retail price of
milk, basing prices upon the cost of
bringing the product from farm to
consumer.
However, the board seems to take
the position, in interpreting the
| law, that the minimum retail price
shall be largely determined by the
most costly method of milk distri-
bution-which is doorstep delivery
And here is where the controversy
has arisen. The Safeway system
one of the nations largest fooC
chains, which has many outlets il
Oregon, wishes to pass the savings
made. possible by cash-and-carry
buying on to the customer. Thi.
saving amounts to ! ] cents a quart
Safeway feels that the housewif,
who comes to the store for he
milk and totes it home herself is en-
titled to the differential.
1t appears now that the admins
traitors of the milk control law ma,
prevent this, and order stores t,
sell milk at the doorstep deliver,
Milford chronicle., 1946-12-13

nrice So Safeway has been running
q eeries of advertisements explain
ing its attempts to hold prices
down. AS one advertisement said,
we believe that cash-and-carry
savings on milk should go to con-
sumers Just as it does on other
foods.
This is local issue-but it is in
dicative of how retailers throughout
the nation, chain and independent,
are trying to hold down the cost of
living. 1t also points to the fact that
the people must be constantly on
the alert against laws and rulings
which force stores to sell goods at
higher-than-necessary prices.
