to say, You ain't seen nothin' yet.
 The Labor situation in U. s. A. today is only a stones throw away from a General Strike. A General Strike would redden up your or ganized labor movement, win or lose, or if recent history abroad re- peats itself here, 1t might create that Socialization of some kind was us swing to Fascism, or some form of Social ownership.
 We are not as some would have us believe leading toward Fascism, or as others would make us under stand leading toward Communism, but as see it, we are getting dan- gerously near chaos. Out of chaos just as from a magician's trick hat may jump any kind of Jack Rab- bit. The whole purpose of this article is to try and get realiza- ton of the fact that America needs today just as much as she needed during the most trying time of the war-COoperation. We licked the forces of slavery and oppression by Cooperation and we can lick our menacing industrial strife, but we must have All Cards on the Table face upward.
 Labor Management conferences will not get results in 1946 unless these conferences can discuss not only wages, but production costs, profits, stock manipulation, markets and all other factors that influence the creation of wealth, and the just distribution of that wealth, to keep up the American standard of living; and to improve that standard as production increases.
 That is American democracy and 1t Is worth fighting to keep that democracy from working in reverse through political trickery. There is no excuse for minority groups within democracy, accepting the benefits of democracy, and at the same time practicing lobbying and blocking tricks, which in the scep- tic world of today, can only cause doubts, like 1t did in Germany as to the efficiency of democratic rule. Both Industry and Labor have much to lose by the failure of de-

terprise," and the American Way of Life"
 These terms have become, at this time, part of the great long list of slogans used against Organized Labor in the past 25 years, when ever Labor dared to make a fight to hold its status, and to keep up our standard of living. Now, at this time, we are accused of under mining our system of Free Enter prise," or we are threatening "the American Way of Life.'
 The old slogans are outworn, so new accusations must be made. Think back and see if you don't remember that every time we tried to defend our rights by fighting, the press had us dubbed as Syndical- ists, Bolshis, Radicals, Alien ele- ment, etc, etc. Yet-the truth Is that Organized Labor in U. s. A. has done more to save Capitalist Democracy here than any other single element in the world today. Let us talk realism, and call things by their real names, SO that we can have q chance to under stand what we are up against. But first, let us not just dismiss these things that we are supposed to be undermining without little ana- lysis. The American Way of Life What is the American Way of Life? Does 1t mean, as we did of yore, so must we do again?
 Ancient custom" is one mean ing that Webster gives us for the word Tradition. Had Tradition been the shrine at which Washing ton, Jefferson, Franklin and Lin- coin worshipped we would have no American Way of Life."
 Tradition Is the monkey wrench in the machinery of progress, and yet tradition is the stock in trade of far too many of the supposed spokesmen for the American Way of Life. To most of us the Ameri- can Way of Life is the reaching out for the new and better way; it is the. attempting and doing what the rest of the world could not man. age in many cases. Always remem- bering that Thought precedes all intelligent action"
 Can we adjust our present social order-Capitalism-to fit in with the American Way of Life, as you and see 1t? would not write this If I did not think such was an immediate possibility.

 Collective bargaining between Organized Labor and Industry is intended to be an aid to coopera- tive action, for the mutual benefit of all; so our democratically ap- pointed U. S. government has enact. ed law that says, Collective Bar gaining Is right of American cit- izenry.

A CHALLENGE MET

Americas farmers can take a justified pride in Secretary
of Agriculture Anderson's announcement that their 1915 crop
now that all returns are in, has turned out to be the third
largest on record, says the Independent-Record
This was a year in which a large part of the world looked
expectantly to the American farmer to help save it from star
walton. In addition to meeting the needs of this country and
millions of our men in uniform overseas, the farmer was asked
to supply a portion of the food requirements of tens of millions
in other nations. Virtually every nation in Europe was on
short rations. The winter just now beginning promised to be
terrible indeed unless the farm lands of the United States
could produce a substantial surplus to ship aboard.
From the very start of the growing season early in the
year the farmer was faced with one obstacle after another
as he bucBled down to meet this challenge. The spring brought
damaging frosts and floods in many sections of the country
which delayed planting and destroyed some crops. Shortages
of labor, machinery and supplies plagued agriculture all
through the year. Heavy rains deuged the fields in the east
during the summer months and unseasonably early frostsI
in the fall and a shortage of harvesters added to the farmers
difficulties.
Despite all these handicaps the men and women responsible
for growing Americas food supply have done a stunning job.
While some crops have, Understandings enough, fallen below
average, others have been pushed to record peaks. Taken as
a whole the year has produced one of the bumper harvests of
all time. Thanks to this the country's farmers ended 1915
with ample food for ourselves and a generous surplus to share
with the war-devastated nations.

Disability Claims
Increase Rapidly
Existing Backlog Seen as
Delay for Many.

WASHINGTON. - The Veterans
administration said recently that il
was handling disability claims faster
than ever before, but that claims
were increasing even faster.
The result, the agency said, is a
backlog Of 100000 claims for dis
ability pensions. That backlog means
delay fer many applicants.
VAS disposition of claims has
jumped from 5000 cases a month in
1912 to a record 1872, 687 in October.
But claims in October climbed to
176,921 - also a record - meaning
that VA lost ground rather than
gained.
The agency anticipates a load of
200, 900 pension claims per month
for the next year. Before We Day
the rate was less than As, 1000 a
month.
In an effort to keep pace and
white the backlog, VA said it was
~deferring further examinations of
men already receiving pensions and
is recruiting full and part-time medi-
cal service.
1t has shelved, at least temper
arily a new disability rating sched-
ule that was to have become effec-
tive October l and required eventual
re-examination of hundreds of
thousands of men.
So far 1887, 241 Second World wal
veterans have asked for disability
pensions, compared with 100, 1888 on
We Day. Of these, about 100, 900
actually are drawing pensions.
Living veterans of all wars now
on the pension rolls total 1875, 900.
Total disability payments now total
more than 815 million dollars an !
nually.

towels, put one-third owe the line
with fancy part at bottom. When
hanging sheets, put the large and
small hens together and swing the

small hem outside keeps clothespin
marks from showing on the large

National Parks Expect FL
Million Visitors in '4S

WASHINGTON. - The National
Park service is preparing to play
host to more than 81 million visitors
at national parks and monuments
during the 1916 season.
This estimate may be conserva-
tive. After totaling final 1915 trav-
ell figures, officials are almost hest
tant to speculate on what is going
to happen next year when tourists
take to the road.
On one thing they are agreed. 1t
is going to be one of the biggest-if
not the biggest - travel years in
Americas history.
Even in midsummer, the park Of
ficials were beginning to be optim-
istic about the 1916 period. But what
happened with the end of the war
and gasoline rationing caused them
to revise their calculations hastily
upward.
In some areas, travel during the
latter part of the park season
jumped to around 400 per cent over
the same 1914 period.
In all, visitors to the 1869 areas
in the national park system during
the season that ended September 30
numbered 10,O99, 300, an increase of
2.214, 528 over the 1914 travel year.
I'VE expect park travel next year
to equal if not exceed the banner
year of 1941, when some 81 million
visitors were recorded" Associate
Director A. E. Demaray of the park
service said here.

wasn't interested in cardboard then
and didn't like the Nazis anyway so

Serve Vegetables Quickly

When you serve vegetables raw,
use them as SOC as possible after
you buy them or bring them in from
your garden. Keep them cool as pos
slble until they are used. Wash them
just before you use them and never
let them soak in water. Prepare
chopped vegetable salads just before
you serve them. You can lose a lot
of vitamin c if you chop up vege-
tables fine and then let them stand
a while before you eat them.

Strive to Breed
~Disease-Resistant Bees

Excellent progress in an attempt,
through breeding and selection, to
produce a strain of bees that is re-
sistant to American foulbrood, one
of the most fatal bee diseases, is
reported by the department of
agriculture. The Importance of
honeybees in the pollination of
many of the important seed and
fruit crops emphasizes the neces-
sity of preventing losses of bees in
every way possible.
Bees are subject to their own par
ticular ailments, sicknesses and alb
normalities. Starvation and poor
w%intering conditions cause the death
of many colonies throughout the
United States. Parasites invade
adult bees and cause serious losses.
Certain diseases of infant bees
take a heavy toll of colonies. For
tunately, all these diseases and all
ments are confined to the honeybee
family and are not transmittable
under any circumstances to humans
or to livestock.
"A llllllICO llQlllOCl VI 4oSSio VI
strains bred for resistance to
American foulbrood has been dis
tributed throughout the United
States. Such strains are not 'fn-
ished" bees. Effort has been con
centrated on improving their resist
ance to disease. Some of these ex-
perimental strains are hot tenn
pered and not all of them are nee
~essarily outstanding in honey pro-
duction. The departments atten-
ton has been called to a number of
widely scattered cases which indi-
cate that strains resistant to Amer
lean foulbrood are showing high
susceptibility to European foul
brood.

FOR MEN NOW IN THE ARMY TO
RETAIN THEIR PRESENT GRADES

Men non in the Army who re.
enlist before February 1 viii
be reenlisted in their present
grade. Men honorably dis
charged can reenlist within 20
days after discharge in the
grade they held at the time of
discharge, provided they re-
enlist before February 1, 1916.
There's a long list of attractive
reenlistment privileges in the
new Armed Forces Voluntary
Recruitment Act of 1915. The
ability to keep your present
grade is only one of them, but
this privilege expires on

There are plenty of other
reasons why many thousands
of men have enlisted, and more
thousands are enlisting every
day. You'll certainly want to
