FARMERS PROSPER

Both farm assets and farm in
come have expanded tremendously
since the outbreak of World War II,
according to a late report released
by the National Industrial Confer
ence board.
Total assets increased about go
per cent from 53.7 billion dollars at
the beginning of 1910 to 1O1.5 billion
dollars six years later. Gross income
from agriculture shot up 124 per
cent over the same period.
That income, plus government
payments, totalled about II billion
dollars in 1910 and only a little less
than Is billion dollars in 1945. Virtu-
ally all the gain was registered
by income from agriculture. Gov
ernment p a y m t S were not
changed during the years covered
by the report. Cash receipts from
farm marketings rose from 8.3 bill
lion dollars in 1910 to a very con-
siderable 20.8 billion in 1945.
Real estate was by far the largest
item among farm assets, rising
from 1876 billion dollars in 1910 to
566 billion in 1916.

Mine Pact Draws Fire;
New Aid arley Opens
BETRAYED:
Mine Pact

Rep. Fred A. Hartley CRep., N.
J), co-author of the Taft-Hartley Ia
Dor act, has charged big business
and big labor with betraying the
public in negotiating the latest John
L. Lewis coal mining contract.
Hartley's attack followed shortly
after southern coal operators fol-
lowed northern and midwestern op-
orators in signing soft coal con-
tracts with the 400, ,000-member Unit
ed Mine Workers.
He told the house that lat least
one clear violation of the law was
contained in the contracts, referring
to the section providing for a
"checkoff" from the miners wages.
The Taft-Hartley law, he said,
permits a checkoff only for union
dues, but the contract calls for a
checkoff of initiation fees and union
assessments. Hartley added that
other sections of the contract ''vio-
late the spirit and intent of the law"
Noting that the contract afforded
a prime case history of the evils
of industry-wide bargaining" he
said that there was evidence of
"collusion between the mine opera
tors and the UNIV with the inten-
tion of violating the law"

NAVY RESERVATIONS GROW

Higher pay and a more satisfac-
tory home life are the two main
lures which have drawn the most
bright and capable young career
officers from the navy and army
into civilian jobs at what is called
ian alarming rate" during the past
year.
In the last 10 months more than
1,700 naval officers have resigned
commissions won at Annapolis to
take higher paying civilian jobs.
During the same period, the army
lost only 259 West Point officers via
the resignation route, but they are
men whom the service can i'll afford
to spare.
