What About the High
Cost of Living?

There is one company in Silver Bow
County that is trying to keep down the cost
of living.
The Community Gas Station has always
sold gas cheaper than any other station in
Silver Bow County, and during the last two
weeks they have put ads in all the local
papers stating their gasoline was sold at
2212c per gallon. AS a result, the following
day all stations in Butte dropped gasoline &c
per gallon.
1t is too bad that other companies in other
lines of business could not follow this pro-
cedure and try to keep all living costs within
the reach Of the people buying in the COM
munity.
The only way to stop further demands for
increases in wages is by lowering the present
high cost of living. In the meantime why
not give your patronage to those concerns,
such as Community, which are honestly en-
deavoring to keep prices in line.

Corporations Piling Up Billions

Corporations are getting rich now even
faster thar they did during the war. The
proof is in a Securities and Exchange Com
mission report.
It shows how much met working capital
all American corporations had at the end OF
each year since 1889, and at the end OF June,
1947.
Net working capital is the total cash
and other current assets owned by the cor
porations, minus all the debts they owe. 1t
is the best 'yard-stick" of their wealth.
At the end of 1889, the met working cap
ital' of the corporations was $24.4 billion.
1t rose steadily through the war years to $51.8
billion at the end of 1945, an average increase
Of S4.5 billion a year.
From 1916 to the end of the first post
war year, 1916, met working capital rose
SAT billion, then the increase speeded up.
In the next six months, ended June 80,
1947, the rise was 1913 billion, or at a rate
of $6.6 billion a year, a much faster increase
than in wartime.
met working capital is built up out of
profits. Obviously, corporations must be
piling up more profits now than during the
war. That is one reason for price increases
and the rising cost of living.

Forty-hour Week Under Fire

Leading the big business campaign to
lower the wages of millions of workers by
permitting employers to require more than
40 hours weekly without overtime pay, the
u. S. Chamber of Commerce said publicly on
October %: There has been little evidence
to show that if adult persons work more than
40 hours per week, they would impair their
health, efficiency and general well-being."
This, however, is what was proven a few
weeks ago by a Department of Labor survey
of many industries: in plants using the longer
work week 'the additional output was so
small as scarcely to warrant the additional
time worked injuries also increased as
hours increased with a few exceptions
the better efficiency during the shorter work
week was enough to offset the decrease in
hours by one-third or one-half. The demon
strated superiority of the 5-day week was
decided"
Keep this in mind. The big fellows are
not so much interested in longer work-weeks
as they are in eliminating the overtime wage
rates. AS always, they want more produc-
ton for less pay.

Not Promise, But Bunk

Comes now the National Association of
Manufacturers with a flat denial of the
charge that it promised prices would go down
if OPA and price control were abolished.
Under the heading Truth Is a Bright Light
the NAM official publication says the charge
is sheer nonsense barefaced lies as
is easily proved by the record"
All right. We have before us an adver-
tisement Of the NAM, published in the daily
papers in July, 1916. 1t says:
IF OPA is permanently discontinued, the
production of goods will mount rapidly and,
through free competition, prices will quickly
adjust themselves to levels that consumers
are willing to pay.
"The great majority of American manu-
facturers are determined to produce as much
as they can, to sell at the lowest possible
prices. American manufacturers are also
determined that such price increases as may
be necessary will be only fully justified by
increases in wage and other production costs.
"Then, as production gets rolling again,
supply will catch up with demand . prices
will be fair and reasonable to all quality
will be improved black markets will dis
appear -. and America will enter the period
of prosperity that everyone has been hoping
for"
Yes, the advertisement was signed by the
NAM.
Well, was that a promise for reasonable
prices? And are prices reasonable in COM
parison with wages? Or is the NAM blurb
a mixture of hog-mash and double-talk?
Any way you look at it, the NAM propa-
ganda fooled the people and it fooled the
congress, as well. 1t is to be hoped that the
NAM will never be able to trick the American
public again.

Nearly 100000 pupils enroll ed in 314 schools and colleges in 23 states and the District of Columbia are participating in the 18th Annual Vocational Op- portunity Campaign of the Ma tional Urban League during the week of March 16. This an nouncement was made jointly today by Ann Tannehill, Di- rector of Vocational Guidance of the National Urban League and George Edwards, Assistant Director of the Leagues South ern Field Division. Miss Tan neyhill heads the Annual Voca- tional Opportunity Campaign.
 Pointing out that the current Campaign marks the fifteenth annual effort of the National Urban League to stimulate Am erican Negro youth, in particu- lar, to plan wisely for training for job opportunities, Miss Tan neyhill stated that 56 local Ur- ban League and ? Service Coun- cil are vigorously sponsoring Campaigns in their own locali- ties. Five cities, where there are no Leagues, have their local Campaigns under way with enthusiasm. The major aim of the VOC is to mobilize community action in behalf of American youth and increase training facilities provided for them and their chances of secur- ing gainful occupations.
 This years unprecedented number of young people in the schools and colleges are be- ing reached by nearly 75,OOO pieces of literature distributed by. Miss Tanneyhill and MT. George Edwards. Among these are special folders designed for use by students, teachers and vocational counselors.
