The union times., 1947-05-31

1. At time when industry's profits are at the highest peak in American history, the Republican Party, with the aid of southern poltax Democrats, is undertaking to restrict the rights of free American workers.
 2. If this Bill becomes law, it will mean wage cuts for non-union and union members alike. In modern industry the union wage scale sets the standards for all other wages. Weak unions mean lower wages; lower wages mean reduced buying power, and re- duced buying power inevitably leads to depression.
 3. The purpose of the Taft-Hartley Bill is not to stabilize labor-management relations, but to mutt late, if not exterminate, organized labor. When unions weakened, industry grows more power full This is threat to democratic institutions, which can be maintained only as long as BOTH labor and management free.
 4. Many of the activities of unions, such as the closed shop which tend to stabilize labor-manage- ment relations, are outlawed by the Bill
 5. This Bill would put the Government directly in the middle of every labor-management disagree ment, with the Government on the side of manage ment. Is this democracy?

Montgomery Reports
Tenfo|d Increase in
japanese Beetles

Montgomery County Farm Agent
o. w. Anderson said today that the
japanese beetle plague in the coun-
ty. now at its peak, is 40 times
worse than last year"
He said the county lacks enough
DDT spray and equipment to meet
all demands of farmers for spraying.
Wet weather in the late spring and
early summer kept planes grounded
which would have sprayed the fields
and orchards.
He said the peak point is reached
at this period because corn, the
beetles "favorite food" is just be-
ginning to tassel.
All the beetles have come out of
the ground now, he added, and by
the middle of August the swarms
should begin to die of.
No estiamtes of crop losses are
available, he declared, although he
predicted an unusually heavy toll
would be taken in the corn crop.
Ravages of the beetles are dis
tributed more or less equally
throughout the county. Mr.. Ander-
son explained, although areas ad-
iacent to the Potomac River have
reported exceptionally heavy dam
ages.
He expressed the opinion that the
river originally was the source OF
the beetle migration.
A good guess at the size of this
years swarm, he said, would be 10
times that of last year. Without
the intensive spraying program this
year, he declared, it might have
been as much as 100 times greater

closed Saturday. 1t was announced
