Bill Jack and Directors Feud
Over Radio Talks, Free Turkeys

In addition to donating Christmas
turkeys, the Jack & Heintz plant
became famous during the war for
free meals in the company's cafe
terra, huge annual bonuses for en-
ployes, recorded music played DUR
ing working hours, steam and mas
sage rooms where workers were
invited to relax during rest periods
and donation of $2,500 life insur-
ance policies for the workers.
One of the vital parts of the
program, Mr.. Jack contends, were
his 'heart-to- heart" talks to "as-
sociates" over a plant-wide public
address system, which were banned
by the directors ruling that all an
nouncements must be prepared adj
dresses cleared through the firms
public relations department.
Questioned concerning the dis
pute, a corporation director said.
Il believe that two men can differ
sharply on particular question and
still not part company because of
it," He added that some of the
directors intended to continue only
that part of Mr.. Jacks program con-
sidered practical in the operation
of a public-owned company"
The employe relations issue is
scheduled for discussion at the next
directors meeting in New York
Monday.

Cotton Textile Prices
Continue 10 Climb,
Demand Is Heavy
/ BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Dec. Heavy de-
mand for limited offerings of cot
ton textiles during the past week
brought further upward price
trend, particularly in goods for
nearby delivery for which premiums
of 25 to 80 per cent over old ceiling
levels were paid.
The price situation generally was
confused with some houses trying
to hold prices at the old OPA levels,
while others sold first quarter goods
as much as cents a yard higher.
One leading merchant said the
market would take all the popular
print cloths offered through the
second quarter of next year at
premium prices.
But the coal strike caused con-
siderable apprehension throughout
the textile field.
The freight embargo was expect
ed to cut cotton textile distribu-
tion sharply, although mill produc-
ton would be able to continue
strong for at least so days.
Cotton goods merchants also felt
a prolonged strike would cut pur-
power to the extent that it
might put a serious crimp in next
years cotton goods sales.
Wool goods converters concen-
trated on early delivery of spring
goods in view of the threatened
transportation tie-up, and in 'rayon
goods, while some mills announced
first quarter allocations of goods,
conyerters were not able to count
on delivery because of the strike.
Some rayon plants were forced
to curtail production because Of the
shortage of caustic soda needed in
manufacturing operations.

100000 Tons Of Food
To Be Sped 10 Reich S
u. 5. Zone This Month
BY the Assoeiofed Press

secretary OF war PatterSon an
nounced last night emergency meas
ures to speed more than 800 900 tons
|of food to the United States zone
|of Germany this month to meet a
critical shortage caused largely by
the maritime strike. +,
Mr.. Patterson told 1t. Gen. Lucius
D. Clay that:
]. The War Department IS un-
|dertaking to send sos. 500 long tons
of food this month, compared with
SO 500 tons in November.
2. Seventeen grain-laden vessels
are to sail from Albany, N. Y, in
December, with the Coast Guard
ready to provide icebreakers in the
Hudson River If needed
8. Standby vessels will be held in
other ports to prevent unforeseen
delays and take on additional last
minute cargoes.
Mr.. Patterson's statement said the
War Department is making head
way against difficulties in breaking
bottIenecks in food transportation
which have threatened to wreck
the occupation program"
Transportation Problem.
Railroad transportation, he ad-
viSed, is the critical factor in sup
plying an estimated 800, 900 tons of
grain needed monthly to maintain
the daily ration Of $500 calories in
the American zone. He added that
aif we do not get that transporta-
ton, we face famine, chaos and the
risk of failure"
The secretary's statement was in
to one by Gen. Clay, dep
uty United States Military Gov
ernor, who said during negotiations
for economic unification of the
British and American zones that
lowering the ration would imperil
the entire occupation program.
Mr.. Patterson laid the food short
age to the maritime strike which he
said set back shipments by go days,
the continuing shortage of box cars,
and the added tonnage which, by
the Anglo American agreement,
must now be sent to the BRITISH
zone. American grain stocks are
ample, he said, to provide for the
needs.
276,50O Tons of Grain.
I'm December, the Army Isl
scheduling shipments of 276,500 long
tons of bulk grains to Germany
he said. "In November, We shipped
only SO, ,308 long tons. The contrast
for flour is equally great. In No.
vember, we shipped but 6,769 long
tons Of flour, as against December
scheduled shipments of 14,769 tons.
1.-THE Department of Agriculture
has indicated that the grain alloca-
ton for Germany for January will
at least equal, and may exceed, the
December tonnage.
I'VE recognize the tremendous
task which faces Gen. Clay. Food
stocks in the American zone are at
this moment at warehouse-botton
while the British zone in the far
worse position of having to borrow
from our vanishing stocks If it is to
exist at all.
1--WE have the food and we in
tend to get it to our zones IN Ger
many. 1t is imperative that we
do SO.
