taken the place of the neighbors,
Senator Saltonstall, Republican, of
Massachusetts,, told members of Red
Cross special gift units at their first

day by the Red Cross, he said.

diers and sailors and Marines at
bases around the world for some
time to come, he said, adding that

touch,' it is the Red Cross that pro-
vides it; when they are i'll, when
they need advice on a letter home,
when they need recreation, they look
to the Red Cross.
Takes Place of Neighbors.
Modern government cannot pro-
vide it, he continued, explaining that
our cities and our country are now
SO large that the services rendered
by our friends In need in the old
days are rendered impersonally

PRIVATE RAILROAD ALLY

Even though Hartman can't go to bat for the rails, however, they have stalWart ally in the Cab lnet-John Snyder. When Snyder was Reconversion Director, railroad men say he promised that, if they would give labor a wage boost, they in turn would get a rate boost. This was never publicly admitted, but it was why railroad executives informed Schindler they had pri- vate commitment rom the White House.
 Though they are both from Mis- souri, Snyder forgot to pass that word on to Schindler, and now it's going to be difficult for new Sec retary of Commerce Rail Car Hartman to reverse him.
 Note-When HaHrriman was ask by the press whether he believed in enforcing the antitrust act, he de- clined comment. One of the Justice Departments biggest antitrust cases is against Harriman's Union Pacific, but, even so, it is unusual for Cabinet officer to refuse sup port for a law which is on the statute books and which is vigor- ous policy of the administration of which he is a member.

HIGH-LEVEL EMPLOYMENT

The Federal Reserve Board finds that lin the period immediately ahead it may be expected that the labor market will remain relatively tight. ," As long nflationary pressures continue strong but not strong enough to disrupt productive relationships it is unlikely that unemployment will rise sharply The board finds that the development of widespread price advances would represent the major threat to a continuation of high-evel employment. Such ad- vances it is held would magnify the elements of instability in the labor market and if carried far enough would result in business reaction and de- clinng employment"
 The underlying business situation contains many elements of strength which support this appraisal by the Federal Reserve Board Large pent-up demand large savings moderate increases in production to date largescale employment and the related factors add up to optimistic picture concerning busi- ness conditions than anticipated in many quarters The key danger spot in the picture is found in the labor situation Labor by it's own actions, can create the unemployment which it is desperately anxious to avoid The chief threats to a continuation of high-evel production and high-level employment

Farmers Work Hours
Cincinnati Enquirer


 A recent survey by Federal agencies has disclosed the interesting information that while members of organized steel workers unions put in work week which averages only little fl hours the average farmer in part of the United tolls for almost twice that long each and every week of the year In other sections the farmers work week is shorter But still it runs well above the 70-hour week.
 This great difference in schedules accounts in some measure for the agricutursts lack of sympathy for organized labor The men who work in the fields to produce the nations food finds that his monetary returns are generally smaller than those of industrial workers while the labor and the skill his job demands often are greater. He feels that unions going entirely far in their efforts to increase and and decrease working hours.
 The need for industrial production, if to live under balanced economy is great today is the need for inceased farm production In fact, farm production in many quarters is being reduced because of shortages in equipment-shortages which resulting from strikes and other industrial labor stoppages If industrial workers to have food in keeping with their current pleas they must expect to match nearly their efforts with those of pro- ducers who live in rural districts.
 The matter is not of effort alone although that is fundamental But popular feeling also will the picture in increasing measure Farmers in the past may have been inclined to harken to pleas of organized labor for boosted food production totals But when the farmer realizes that his work is in creasng while the work week of union workers de- creases, he is likely to change his tactics In fact, it would from what see-or what we don't see on butchers shelves that the raising sector o the U & agriculture already has changed tactics.

found in the possibility of of strikes which would interrupt production and in the price increases which would have to follow any across the board increases in wages Such development would accel- crate the widespread price advances which con- sidered to be primary threat to business stability. A primary prerequisite for maintaining high-evel employment is the avoidance of labor disputes which arise out of demands which are excessive.
 Major emphasis must be given to increasing productivity in order to give backing to past wage increases An increase in production would act an effective barrier against-large price increases and hence would make it possible to maintain the pur chasing power of wages Under conditions of com prehensive Government controls, wages may increase temporarily more rapidly than prices But past his- tory as well as the current experience in many for eign countries, reveals clearly that prices win in any race with wages.

 ROMANCE Al END;
 MATE FOUND DEAD

BEND, Ore. Oct. 31 - Klondike Rates romance was at an end to- day, with her husband dead on a trail seven miles from his pros pector's cabin in Yukon Territory.
 The one-time belle of the gold seekers, Kate flew North 10 days ago in quest of her husband, John Matson, 83, from whom she had not heard since April,
 Tcday she sent telegram to friends at her home here that her husbands body had been found by John Sestek, prospector who lived some 30 miles from Matson's cab in. He was believed to have died of natural causes.
 Klondike Kate she was Kate Rockwell then-was a dance hall girl at Dawson when she and John Matson met.
 Johnny fell in love with me in 1900" she once said, but l was in love with someone else so he just stood by and watched
 But in 1933-two years after they had resumed a interrupted ondence-Matson came out of the North and married Kate at Seattle He still had his prospect ing to do, however, but this year he was to have come out for good.
 Last April Kate bought little place at Halsey, Ore, where I've could have a little garden and flowers and things"
 But Watson didn't come back. and Kate went North to find him and found tragedy.

get it, but Averell Hartman, we'll meaning new Secretary of Com merce has found a troublesome problem child on his doorstep Though head of Union Pacific Railroad and director of the H. linois Central, Hartman, as Sec retary of Commerce, now has to help pass on the ticklish question of raising railroad rates
 The problem child was found on Harrimans doorstep when he first took office. The man who put it there was Acting Secretary Al Schindler, who had to give the In- terstate Commerce Commission the Commerce Departments views on railroad rates.
 High railroad officials, conferring with Schindler in a secret meeting, told him they had been promised a rate increase by the White House. Accordingly, they asked 25 per- cent raise.
 Commerce Department tranSpor- tation experts, on the other hand, advised Schindler that: the rails will handle 100000, ,O00 fewer ton miles in 1947 than in 1942, and G. 000,000,000 fewer passe IT, miles. Despite this, they will em- ploy l07,000 more people.
 Schindlers net reaction; If any one came to me with a proposal that they hire more people to handle less business, I'd fire them right away.
 Whereupon he signed a state ment putting the Commerce De- partment on record against the 25 percent increase.
 This was the Commerce Depart ment's official position wien rail- road magnate Hartman took over his new job, and so far he has not officially changed it.

not in coal cars before washing. Washing at the tipple means that the ash and rock is sorted out so the coal weighs 4 percent less. This, Lewis claims, reduces the Miners Welfare Fund of cents per ton.
 In a scant five months, however, the welfare fund has already reach ed S7,000,000, and the United Mine Workers are so wealthy that they have purchased one of the largest office buildings in Washington, in addition to buying the swank Uni versity Club as oak-paneled head quarters for John L. Lewis
 Grievance No. 2 against the gov ernment is failure to give miners allowance Tor vacation pay when they leave the job before the end of the year Here, however, Krug has alrady accepted an award in Illinois in favor of the miners. Thus, only one issue, washing coal at the tipple, remains to be set tied
 For this, John L. Lewis threatens to close down the entire coal in- dustry.
 Note-Real fact is that Lewis has always wanted to negotiate con- tract in November. on the eve of cold weather, rather than in the spring, on the eve of warm weather Obviously his negotiating powers are much greater when people face shivering homes. Also, he is not averse to stirring up a little industrial uncertainty just be- fore elections

PAT HURLEY'S LANGUAGE

In New Mexico. battle of the languages is going on between Pat rick J Hurley, Hoover's ex-Secre- tary of War. and Senator Dennis Chavez in their race for the U S. Senate
 To appeal to New Mexican voters it is almost essential to speak Spanish. New Mexican courts, for instance, are bilingual, with both Spanish and English official.
 Senator Chavez, of course, is equally at home with either lan- guage. Hurley is not. However, Chavez has pulled a new trick on the ex-Oklahoman.
 You want somebody in Wash ington who speaks your language '" Chavez tells his audiences. But I want you to know that I also speak Pats"
 Whereupon. Chavez proceeds to recite the Lords Prayer and the Ave Maria in Gaelic.
 Pat Hurley, of course, while mak- ing quite a play of being Irish in Catholic New Mexico, speaks not one word of Gaelic.
 Note-At one time, Pat did not make such a great show of being Irish. His father was born O'Hur- ley, and kept that name all through life. His son found that being Irish was no political asset in Oklahoma, and dropped the O."
