Production and Jobs
|Hif Peacefime Peak
Before Coal Strike
BY tho Assosioied Press

Industrial production and employ
nent. had forged up to p record
peacetime high before the coal
strike, the Federal Reserve Board
reported yesterday.
Output at factories and mines
increased per cent during October.
This brought it to point SO per
cent higher than the average for the
ls35-1ss9 period, according To the
boards seasonally adjusted index OF
production.
Production was maintained at
this level in. November up to the
beginning of work stoppages in
bituminous coal mines" said q
report from the board.
Steel Output Rise Checked.
During the first three weeks of
November, steel output rose slightly
to- an average scheduled rate of 81
per cent of capacity, but in the

owing to a cessation of operations
at most bituminous coal mines on
November 81 as result OF work
stoppages."
Summarizing business conditions
for October, the board reported en-
ployment at factories was main
tanned at record peacetime level
along with production, and output
was above even the high level OF
distribution, so that the goods
turned out brought a further in
crease in inventories.
Building Contracts Decline.
The board observed that prices
in wholesale and retail markets gen.

On the other hand, 1t noted that
the value of construction contracts
awarded declined further in Octo-

May peak, though remaining about
double the 1889 average.
Awards for residential building
decreased by more than one-fifth.

Consumer Resistance
Washington Postl


 When the butcher wraps up two very moderate sized lamb chops say that will be 75 cents, and the customer promptly hands them back that is consumer resistance. Whats more, it is the kind of consumer resistance that is more to be feared by merchants than noisy spectacular demonstrations taking the form of parades, picketing and meetings These organized protests have their value, of we have pointed out as evidence of public concern over mounting living costs. They warning to sellers that trouble may lie ahead. But in the long it is the passive resistance of millions of individuals who have to reduce their buying when prices skyrocket that high priced foods to back up shelves and accumulate in warehouses;
 This is possibly the best safeguard against infla- tion large proportion of consumers are now spend ing most or all of their current income to satisfy con- sumption needs Although the volume of savings held by the public is colossal, it's distribution is highly uneven of the savings being concentrated in the high income groups For example it is estimated that about 50 per cent of family spending units accumulated almost no liquid during the war, while 30 per cent of family units saved nothing 945 or had to dip into their past savings to cover current consump ton outays. If estimates available for the present year they would undoubtedly show further declines in current savings and heavier nroadS accumulated savings.
 Here lies the evidence that millions of families simply do not have the funds that would permit them to pay the extravagant prices ruling for many basic foodstuffs Their resistance to price increases is product of necessity. It does not have to be Sffened by appeals to boycott profiteers by the placards of wrathfu pcketers In addition there countless families able pay more but unwilling to abandon the habit of thrift that have been encouraged during the years by lavish incomes and limited spending outlets. Such people will be inclined to follow the example of the housewife who refuses pay 37a cents for lamb chop that would have sold for Is cents thereabouts With judcious help from the price control authorities, believe, therefore that the great body of will be able to prevent further imitation, provided fresh of strikes to enforce higher wage demands can be headed off

GHOSTS ON SENATE FLOOR

Republican Morse, however, de- termined to go ahead anyway. At this point, Connally, Vandenberg, Austin, Barkley and George came to him privately and begged Morse to sidetrack his resolution. Barkley was the only one who said he was for World Court cooperation, but said it was a bad time to debate it.
 The others said they thought it
 was a mistake to adopt the reso-
 lution at all.
 Don't you remember replied
 Morse, That at San Francisco the
 United Nations adopted a resolu-
 tion that all it's members should
 accept the obligatory jurisdiction of the World Court?
 "The United States concurred in that resolution" he continued. And
 Senators Connally and Vandenberg were present. Now what are we go- ing to do-walk out on our obliga- tions? Are we going to put our selves in the same position as the Russians whom we criticize? T can see the isolationiSt ghosts of 1920 stalking the floor of the United States Senate today" Morse
 told his colleagues. '-the ghosts which sabotaged world peace after the last war. And I, for one, think the American Public is entitled to know who they are"
 Morse stuck to his point and won
 out. His resolution was finally pass ed, though only after Senator Milli- kin of Colorado, Republican isola- tionlst had attached crippling amendment by which the U. S. Government reserves the right to
 exempt a large bloc of disputes from submission to the World | Court.
 Note-One of the best speeches
 against this amendment was made by Senator Pepper of Florida. Most other Democrats, however, ran out
 on the principles of Woodrow Will son and voted with COP isolation ist Millikin

MIA ExpEDITER
 HEADING NORTH

George w. Coplen, regional hous- ing expediter for the National Housing Agency, was to fly to Ju- neau today to spend two days con- ferring with civic leaders on the housing shortage here.
 We are aware of the critical shortage in Juneau and we feel that we can help the community to overcome it by assisting with problems which extend beyond the locality" MT. Coplen said.
 Providing housing for returning veterans is a job for private indus try in the community, but the gov- ernment has a responsibility tc assist in every way it can. To ef- feet this coordination and coopera- ton the mayors of many commun- ities are appointing emergency housing committees representing the veterans of World War II, the home building industry, labor, civic business groups, home financing in- stitutions, real estate men and pub- lie interest groups such as schools churches, fraternal organizations and service clubs.
 These committees representing all sections of the community car bring full pressure to bear on To- cal housing problems whether they involve materials, labor, sites, plan ming or financing.
 The first objective is to deter mine the actual housing needs ol the community. The quantity oi building materials needed, vacant lots, development of utilities fol new sites and building codes car be examined in relation to the goal
 Tn Alaska the problems of trans portation and cost are even more acute than in the States. But by pooling our information and oul resources these and other problems can be overcome"
 MT. Coplen is accompanied by MT. T. o. Hoagland of the regiona staff who will be assigned to Alaska to work with mayors emergency housing committees in the prepar- ation of housing goals and othel matters.

GOOD ADVICE

The Economic Outlook-a CIO pubcation-has given some excellent advice to union members. At the present stage of events it says, I've can accom- plsh more by price action than by wage action to maintain the purchasing power of labor. Wage in creaSes if won" it warns, are likely to me promptly reflected in further price increases This is one of the facts of imitation that labor should reckon with in its fight protect it's standard of living"
 It is a thousand pities that this sensible advice was not impressed upon labor leaders when the post war battle to maintain stabilized living costs at critical stage For the wage increases secured by recent prolonged strikes raised prices in two ways, CD by stallng production and prolongng goods scar cities and @ by raising unit production costs and necesstating in the selling price of goods CIO labor leaders primarily responsible for these unoward developments and of them were violent in their denuncation of critics who foretold the in eyitable result of headstrong nsstence upon wage increases too high absorbed by employing indus tries.

that President Truman not only Sympathizes with them but has found a fairly good remedy for seasicknesSes. The cure is not 100 percent efficient, however, and that is one reason the Presidents yacht turned south.
 MT. Truman has a bottle of sea- sickness pills with him on his pre- sent cruise-a remedy concocted by the Canadian Army for use by it's troops when they crossed the At lantic or went ashore in tank land ing barges. It is supposed to be the best thing so far developed to cure seaSiskneSS.
 The President always carries a bottle with him when afloat and eats the pellets almost as if they were candy. On his first important sea trip aboard the cruiser Augusta to Potsdam one year ago, he took this medicine along and apparently avoided seasickneSs.
 However, MT. Truman, born and raised on the midwest prairies doesn't get the same kick out ot the sea as did F.DR. and that is one reason why the Williamsburg is usually kept in Chesapeake Bay ol inland channels; also whN it turned away from northeast waters toward Bermuda this week

REFORM BEGINS AT HOME

How much the USA has room to put it's own house in order while we criticize Russia about interna- tional cooperation is illustrated by an -the-record by-play which oc- cured in the closing days of Con- gress. The incident goes to the very heart of whether the USA really means to deal in words or deeds when it comes to winning the peace through world cooperation.
 Some time ago hard-hitting Sem ator Wayne Morse of Oregon intro duced a resolution calling for the submission of disputes involving the United States to the World Court. Senator Morse is Republi- can. As such he remembered how the Republican party undermined the World Court, the League of Nations and all international CO., operation after World War I, thus hastening World War II. His reso- lution sought to atone for the for mer COP policy which many Re- publicans have lived to regret.
 When it came time for sincere Senator Ebert Thomas of Utah to move immediate passage of the re- solution, however, he came to Morse in the senate cloakroom and whispered that he would have to bow out
 Thomas, a Democrat, explained that Senator Connally, another Democrat and Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, to- gether with Senator George of Georgia, supposed to be a great follower Of Woodrow Wilson, had urged him not to propose passage of the World Court resolution. In addition, two Republicans, Vanden- berg of Michigan, who has been preaching international coopera-
