THOSE FARM PROFITS .. The
accompanying chart shows the per-
centage increases in prices received
by farmers and prices paid by farm
ers for commodities and wages, from
1899 to 1947, based on the price In

utral economics.
A significant feature Of this chart
is the advance in farm wages since
1899. Another, is the increase in
prices received, as well as prices paid
by farmers for various commodities.
Farm wage rates increased more

DistiIIery Firms
To Pay Workers
During Holiday

Chicago (ILNS)-Joseph O'Neill,
president of the Distillery, Rectify-

al Union, announced here that 8
big distillery companies had agreed
to maintain all his unions members
during the 60-day production holi-
day with no downgrading in pay.
O'Neill said the union had reach
ed agreements with the American
Distilling Co., New York; Seagram
Distillers Corp, New York and its
subsidiary, Calvert Distillers Corp,
and Schenley Distillers Corp, New
York. Schenley operates 16 plants
in the United States.
Union members will be kept on
the job in plants operated by these
companies, O'Neill said, even though
liquor production has been halted.

can overall estimate for the
country is not the complete answer
to the problem. There may be en-
ough craftsmen in Detroit but not
enough in Seattle. The study to
determine the facts should be made
in every area and in every COM
munity by local joint management
labor apprenticeship committees, or
where none exist by employer or
ganizations or unions.
Facts Needed For Planning
"These bodies should ascertain
the number of skilled men in the
trades, the average age of the skill
ed workers, the rate of loss to the
industries, the number of appren-
tees in training, an estimate of
the volume of production, building
and service required over a period
of years, the number of skilled
workers needed, and the number of
apprentices needed for each trade.
After these facts have been mar
shalled, the required number of ap-
prentices should be hired and train
ed" he said.

Board Member In
Trenton Hospital !
For Appende dectomy

Stricken with an acute attack of
appendicitis ut his home in Tren-
ton, N. j. last week, First Vice Pre-
sident E. l.. Wheatley, upon the
advise of his physician was rushed
to the Mercer Hospital in that city
for an emergency appendectomy.
Organizer James Solon of the
eastern office informed President
Duffy that Brother Wheatley had
complained of feeling jill the earlier
part of the week, but thinking it a
mild case of indigestion, did not
bother to consult physician and
was content that a few days rest
at home would curb the disorder.
However, as the pain became
more intense and he began running
temperature, physician was
summoned and his diagnosis result
ed in an immediate rush to the hos
pital for an emergency operation.
To his many friends throughout
the trade we are glad to report the
operation was successful and he
expects to be discharged from the
institution within the next few
days.

for apprentices sponsored by the

at is especially important that
industry knows how many appren-
tices are needed for a number of
reasons: the last census of skilled
workers was taken in 1910 and we
have no knowledge of how many
craftsmen due for retirement have
done so, how many have died and
how many have left their trade
for other work since that time;
also, during the war years rela-
lively few apprentices were train
ed while industry expanded and to-

OIL MOGULs CHEATING
]. s. OUT Of MILLIONS
ASK TAXES ON CO-OPS

Washington LPA)- American
oil firms have gypped the U. S.
Treasury out of taxes on more
than s1OO,OOO,OO0 in profits taken
from their Arabian oil fields alone,
Sen. Owen Brewster (R., Me. }
claimed last week as hearings of
his Senate War Investigating Com
mittee were resumed.
The evasion was made possible
by incorporating companies in 9TH
er countries. The disclosure came
as Brewster questioned H. M. Her
ron, chairman of the board of both
Bahreim Petroleum Co. Ltd, Ca
madam corporation, and the Cali
fornia Texas Oil Co., incorporated
in the Bahamas. Both, he admitted,
are wholly owned by the Texas Co.,
and California Standard Oil.
Starting with a capital of 81 1,OO0,-
900 the Bahamas firm piled up
more than $25, ,000,0 900 in profits on
which it has paid no taxes in 10
years, Heron said. The phony
Canadian company pocketed net
of $91,000,000 and the Treasury
saw none of it.
Ironically, while these revelations
of gigantic pilfering were being
made, representatives of the oil
industry were appearing before
another Congressional committee
and dema anding protection"
against oil cooperatives. The "pro-
lection" would come thru heavier
taxes on the co-ops.
Further sensational testimony
was given the Brewster committee

Workmen's compensation laws

up to Sept. l, the U. s. Department

second injury funds were establish
ed in 5 states.
The workmen's compensation
laws of Nevada and New Hamp-
shire were made compulsory in
stead of elective, as long advocated
by organized labor, and at the same
time other improvements were
made in these 2 acts.
Most of the states increased the
benefits payable for injuries or
deaths, and in some of the states
medical benefits were extended. A
special act in Connecticut enlarged
the scope of medical services to in
clude nursing.

Hatchet-W Welding Scabs
Used In Packing Strike

Austin, MINI. (LPA)-Hatchet-
welding scabs were the newest
strike-breaking device used last
week to break the two-month old
strike of the United Packinghouse
Workers against Musser & Co., at
Wells, MINI.
After the company was denied
a District Court injunction that
would have virtually banned peace
full picketing, executives of the
firm attempted to place four strike
breakers in the plant. The union
prevailed upon the scabs to stop
work and leave the premises.
AS the four were being escorted
from inside the picket lines, one OF
the scabs attacked pickets with a
hatchet he had carried from the
plant. Two of the others, also BAN
dishing hatchets, joined in the at
tack while the fourth fled. 1t was
a miracle, according to UPW Off
cials that none of the pickets were
injured.

COMMITTEE REPORT
OFFERS No RELIEF
FOR SMALL TAXPAYER

Washington, D. C. = Matt
hew Woll, chairman of the
AFL's Committe on Taxation
and a member of the Social
Tax Study Committee n ,oint-
ed by Repres rtetive Itson,
expressed atificatioh at the
concern shown by the majority of
the committee for the welfare of
the small taxpayer.
Mr.. Vol, who filed minority
report dissenting from the con-
clusions reached by the committee,
declared, however, that the major
ity report should be judged by it's
specific recommendations, rather
than by pious statements of good
intentions.
"If the major concern of the ma
jority of the committee is to relieve
the small taxpayer, then the ma
jority recommendations can only be
termed as insult to our intelli-
gence," Mr.. Vol said.
"Their report is based on the
assumption that the across-the-
board tax cuts of four billion dol
lars, as proposed by Representa-
tive Knutson, will be made. The ma
jority is aware that these reduc-
tions will only partially ease the
tax load of millions of taxpayers
at below subsistence income levels.
"On the other hand, upper brac-
ket taxpayers would be relieved of
substantial portion of their tax
bill. Knowing this, the majority
make specific recommendations in
their report for further tax changes
mat will involve the loss of addi-
tional billions of dollars which will
accrue mainly ,as savings to these
same upper bracket income tax
payers"
Mr.. We'll charged that the knut-
son proposal, plus the specific tax
revisions favored by a majority of
the committee, would involve a
total revenue loss to the Federal
government of six to seven billion
