WILL 1T BE LABOR VS.. THE
PEOPLE?"

A revealing light into the attitude
of some labor officials was cast dur
ing the early days of the shipping
strike when one leader said that ii
the government attempted to move
struck vessels, national general
strike which would paralyze the
country would be called.
This was Immediately disavoWed
by a higher-ranking AFL official,
who characterized it as ridiculous "
But, despite the denial, the words
had been said and the entire nation
had been threatened.
The growing arrogance of labor
must be causing grave concern to
thoughtful men within it's own ranks.
1t is one thing to fight out an issue
with an employer and get the best
possible settlement-it is very diff
ferent thing to make threats, and to
sometimes put them into effect, that
endanger the public health, welfare
and safety. We seem to be approach
ing a time when the nation will be
bedeviled and torn with that most
disastrous and tragic of all issues
Organized Labor versus the Ameri-
can People.

COUNTY'S FARM INCOME SHOWS
LARGE INCREASE

Nearly doubling their annual gross
income in comparison with 1910, as
reported by the U. S. Census Bureau
Cecil County farm families last year
produced crops and livestocks with
the record value of more than $4,-
62S,000.
This huge increase in farm revenue
has already created heavy demand
for general farm improvements and
for home remodeling, according to a
study released by the Tile Council OF
America. With every industry antlcl-
pating greater business in the state
than before the war, floor and wall
tile manufacturers alone expech their
sales here to triple in the next lew
years.
The study shows that many farm
improvements were made even dur
ing the war. Since 1910, for example
the number of farm homes reporting
electric lights here has increased
from 684 to 843.
Forst also pointed out that farmers
in the county today have $50 more
tractors than in 1910, according t
the Bu1 eau of Census, and that the
number of trucks on farms has like
wise increased substantially. "Thest
facts not only indicate the import
ance of the farm market but alst
make it one which no businessman o.
manufacturer can afford to over
look" he added.

FAT SALVAGE

Due to the acute shortage OF meat
women have been unable to save and
turn in fats to the extent they had
during previous months, but with the
lifting of price ceilinges fat salvage
collections should surpass those OF
recent months. According to the Am
erican Fat Salvage Committee house
wives. since the start of the program
four years ago, have been responsible
for the recovery of more than hve
hundred million pounds of fat. This
means that even when meat was In
such short supply women continued
to be conscientious in saving waste
fats.
The committee also pointed out
that due to the worldwide shortage
of fats and with no prospects for
early improvement in the situation,
the need for fat salvaging is greater
now than it has been at any time dur
ing the war years.
Production of many greatly needed
consumer items are dependent on
fats. These include soap, pharmaceu-
ticals, automobiles, refrigerators,
washing machines, floor coverings,
and textiles. Every pound of fat
turned back to the butcher will
hasten the return of these and many
other products.
For these reasons American
women are urged not only to con-
tinue their efforts in salvaging and
turning in used fats, but to redouble
them.

DIESEL CARS UNLIKELY

According to T. b. Rendel, automo-
tive engineer, there is no prospect
that high-speed diesel engines will
be used in pleasure automobiles and
light airplanes. 1t is hardly probable
he says, that the overall economy
taking into account the increased
weight-will enable it to compete
with the gasoline engine. In all the
talk about motors of the future it is
well to remember tkat the economy
will be the deciding factor-atomic
energy or what not has to meet and

Troubles Double

The whole Government set-up to
prevent and settle strikes, stabilize
wages, fix prices and influence the
cost of living is not practical-there-
fore, not successful.
The Maritime strike has practically
tied up shipping at sea.
The Pittsburgh and airways strikes
read like fairy tales, and bad ones at
that. Salaries are so high as to be al
most unbelievable.
The hotel strike in Washington has
tied up business, as there are not ho-
tel accommodations in Washington
to take care of people who come to
the Capital to conduct public affairs.
The plunge in the cotton market
has closed some of the Exchanges,
and if cotton shortages continue it
will stop the operation of hundreds
of factories and establishments.
The political campaigns are run
ming smoothly enough in different
States-but they don't seem very i'm
portant so far as major problems are
concerned. The battle goes on be-
tween government controls and infla-
tion, accompanied by all kinds of pre-
dictions described by Chester Bowles
as "a joy-ride to disaster"

"BE IT EVER so HUMBLE"
BY j. Il. Jones

Washington, ID. c., October Is
The greatest peace-time crisis this
country has had in many years is the
current housing shortage. How did
this Nation with it's almost unlimited
resources and porduction know-how
get itself into a situation where a
home-any kind of home-is sought
by millions of citizens? The explana-
ton is simple but the solution is not.
During the past year our armed
forces demobiliZed more than mil
lion men a month. There have been
over 100000 marriages each month.
Married servicemen have returned to
wives who lived with relatives during
the war. Through the Veterans Emer-
gency Housing Program the Federal
Government is attempting to make
homes available to it's returned
heroes, but it is not achieving any
startling results.
Instead of the homes so desperate
| ly needed, race tracks, mansions, re-
sorts, stores and cocktail bars have
sprung up all over the country to
reap the harvest of tie postwar
| boom.
| OF the houses that have been erect
ed during the past year, very few
have been within the means of the
| average veteran. Even with the liber-
al loan provisions made available
| under the CT Bill of Rights a young
veteran hesitates to burden himself
with a $4,000 home.
National Commander Paul H. Grif-
fifth of The American Legion may
have hit the mail on the head when
! he stated recently that veterans want
| houses to rent and not to buy. Ac.
cording to a survey made in Dallas
Texas. 92 per cent of the ex-service
men want to rent homes and only
per cent are interested in buying.
| Whether or not this is indicative OF
Veterans everywhere is one of the
reasons why the Legion has a seven
man committee making an intensive
study of veterans housing in every
section of the country.
| The findings of this committee
should be carefully considered by a
Nation that is sincere in it's desire to
make homes available to those whose
sacrifices and hardships made it pos
sible fol TIE word "home" to contin-
ue to mean so much to the American
way of life.

Sugar Shortages

Cuba raises more than 100000
tons of cane sugar annually while the
United States produces only $4,000
tons of cane sweets. For many years
the sugar beet has been cultivated in
different localities of the United
States, but it has been unable to COM
pete with cane sugar-because the
politicians in Washington have been
boycotting and slandering sugar
beets as an agricultural industry ever
since the Spanish-American war.
Cane sugar is one of tie biggest
political victims in the whole West
ern Hemisphere. OF course we all
want Cuba to succeed but it is false
economy to curtail and suppress the
production of cane and beet sugar in
the United States by juggling the
facts and deceiving our own people.
There is altogether too much
trickery about this so-called tariff
protection" for teh American public.
American farmers ought to be raising
all of our sugar.
Besides, synthetic rubber has been
proved to be just as good as natural
rubber raised in the Dutch East In
dies and otker Pacific countries.
Coffee is another tariff pet, for the
benefit of Brazil, to the detriment of
the United States.
