THE CHERRY TREE


within range and pull us all into
space. These things could happen,
so these remarkable pictures say.
They probably are scientifically
accurate, since they were made by
a scientist.
But most Of us will conclude
that since we've been herein the
collective sense-a long time,
we're likely to be here for long
time to come.
SO we go with our international
wrangles, with our scientific ex-
plorations, with our microbe hunt
ing and our machine perfecting
and with all of the multitude OF
activities that make living more
and more complex, sending more
and more persons on a dog trot
hunt for the nearest psychiatrist.
Unless and until one of the doz-
en- totally destructive dire things
happens to knock out our whole
world, we shall go on hunting for
new things and new ways, finding
new diseases and new cures-and
leaving ever so many things un-
done at the close of each day.
That's how so much of the hu-
man race is built, or constituted.
Not all of it, by any means, but the
commanding portion. 1t may seem
strange, but it is true, that there
are groups of people who do not
want anything new and want only
the things and the ways of their
fathers for as far back as their
minds can remember. But they are
the few and they are isolated. The
rest will dig in and move ON.
= Il
Some of the oddities about our
moving on shock us bit when we
think of them.
We can make an atom bomb, but
we still do not know exactly what
causes the common cold, or exact
ly how to cure it. We have scien-
tific instruments that tell where oil
may be found, but we are not yet
certain what causes polio.
We can build calculating mac
hines that in flashes perform COM
putations and calculations that
would require weeks of work by
men using only their brains.
But we can't find a formula for
getting along in good understand
ing with Russia. Maybe that's be-
cause there is pattern for the
INT no formula for the other.
FINDING the answers to some OF
the -far-unanswered questions
is a lot like wondering why men
have two arms, instead of four, or
a nose on the face instead of a hole
in the chest. Or why the men OF
any race think the women of their
race are more beautiful than those
of any other race. They do, you
know.
But, be these things as they
may. Our scientist gent tells us
that we live on the verge of disast-
er, which is a mild word for total
destruction, but there is something
within the human race that sends
it on AID on, along whatever road
there is to the future, discovering,
inventing, combining; laughing,
loving, hating, scowling, but for
ever producing something new,
whether it be a gadget or a cyclo-
tron-a new kind of peace or
new kind of war.
Here and there along the way
there have been prophets of doom,
who "knew" just when the world
would end and about them little
groups have gathered to wait and
to see the fateful day pass un-
eventually.
Is there destiny for the human
race? Destiny implies final goal.
If there is a destiny, what then
lies beyond destiny?
The race, as whole, lives-what-
ever it may think-as though the
road would lead on and on, with
never a final goal-just on and on.

about the workers never having
had it so good.
Every day congressional wind
bags sound off ABOUT the way a
helper in industry today is get
ting more per day than he got
way back when, working to get
ahead in his daddy's sawmill. He
measures what labor gets strictly
in dollars and cents. A dollar is
a dollar, he says.
Testimony that this is not
necessarily so came from the
Labor Dept's bureau of labor
statistics Sept 5, as it released
the story that average weekly
earnings in manufacturing indus
tries reached a new high of $49.37
in June. On the back pages of the
release, however, there is table
which puts lot o, ands, IFS and
butts to the above announcement
HERE are some highlights on
net spendable weekly earnings,
based on a worker with three de-
pendents:
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-09-13

BIS figures out the value. of
1899 dollars by applying its own
consumers price index to current
prices, and all quarters recog-
nize this index measures price
rises very conservatively. Net
spendable income is what is left
of the wage after social security
and income taxes have been
taken out.
Thus we find that the big deal
which labor got in the last eight
years, even by BIS standards, is
an average net real wage boost
from $23.62 to $2997 for typical
worker and his family when
taxes and prices are taken into
account. And there is no way of
escaping either.
LOOK again at the chart and
you will notice that spendable
income for industrial workers in
prewar dollars has been going
down since 1914, nearly SIS week
for the man with three depend
ents. His greenback income Gust
plain dollars has recovered from
the postwar slump and is 1891
higher than in 1914, but prices
have eaten away all that and IS
more in 1899 dollars.
Between 1899 and 1914 prices
rose, but with nothing like the
speed with which they have
zoOmed upward since VI Day.
Wartime income taxes have not
yet been lowered. The new Taft
Hartley act will probably make it
more difficult for labor to get
fair wages from stubborn en-
ployers.

This wacky touch was added to
the fantastic price picture this
week when the U. S. government
disclosed that it has on hand 100
million dozen surplus eggs that
it doesn't know what to do with.
While one branch of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture an
nounced that the price of eggs is
going skYward because of
smaller egg supplies" another
branch pleaded for help in dis
posal of this record crop of hen
fruit.
The eggs were purchased by the
government as part of price
support" program.
AT THE SAME time, the big
dairy trust announced this week
that it may add another one cent
increase per quart to the price
of milk.
The mysterious explanation Civ
en- was a milk shortage"
However, better explanation
was contained in a staff report
to the monopoly subcommittee of
the House Committee on Small
Business.
THE government report re-
vealed that the dairy industry is
in the hands of small groups of
huge firms and that 'the largest
three sellers account for Is per
cent of the total"
I'm great city markets" the
report points out. the concen-

in for their biggest price head
aches to date this fall and winter,
it was reported here, as wholesale
meat prices shot up sc in one
week and all commodity indexes
reached new postwar highs.
While three congressional sub
committees scheduled tardy cost
of-living hearings in more than
a dozen cities, government and
Wall Street statisticians were re-
porting new assaults on the con-
sumer's pocketbook.
Dun & Bradstreet's commodity
index. which measures price in
creases of foods, grains, metals,
rubber, leather hides and textiles,
hit new high of 277 Sept. 8, a n
point gain over July 1916 when
most price controls were knocked
out of the picture.
THE U. S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics price index of 20 basic
commodities hit 1908 Aug. 20
contrasted with 241.1 a year ago.
In New York all cuts of meat
went up l to &c pound in whole
sale markets Sept. 3, and some
retailers boosted prices by as
much as Sc over the previous
week. The U. S. Agriculture Dept.
reported price increases in one
week ranging from 81 to So a
hundredweight on various kinds
of wholesale meat in New York.
Chicago's livestock market re-
ported beef was bringing $34 a
hundredweight, SOC above the
previous weeks record.
Even sleeper meat prices were
predicted for this fall and winter
as Sec. Of Agriculture Clinton p.
Anderson admitted in Los Angeles
that beef shortage was on the
way. A similar admission came
from the American Meat Institute
in Chicago.

Labor liberals
ask to be heard

This statement by Michael Mann, CLIO representative,
typical of those issued by leaders of several organza
who will testify before Congressional subcommittee
hearing which opens here October l.
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-09-13

The subcommittee is COM
posed of members of the Sem
ate and the House of Represent
atives. II is empowered to in
vestigate facts which have been
skYrocketing the cost of living
in the homes of ordinary cifi-
Gems.
City and State ALL bodies re-
ported no plans.
HEADING the midwest COM
mittee, which will come here
October l, will be George H.
B der, Congressman-at-large
from Ohio, whose actions have
frequently been supported by
Clio unions of that state.
Congressman Huber, another
Ohio representative, will also be
here for the investigation into
HCL. He has likewise been sup
ported by unions.
Others include Senators Ball,
KEN, Sparkman and Represent
alive Tale. The majority voted
against price control.
THE PLACE for the Chicago
gor the Chicago hearings has not
been announced.
Many organizations have
asked TO appear. Among them
is The Chicago Star. which is
assembling data on living costs
here.
Others include the Congress of
American Women, the Chicago
Federation of Consumers, the
United Farm Equipment Workers
(CIO) the United Electrical Radio
& Machine Workers of America
CIO), and the American Veter-
ans Committee.
HEARINGS here will be filled
with political dynamite.
They come at period when
prices continue to skyrocket, in
spite of promises by Senator
Robert A. Taft R., Ohio and the
National Association of Manufac-
turers that living costs would
reach their level" after the abo-
htion of the already crippled
Office of Price Administration.
Midwest hearings are sched-
uled to open in Cleveland, Ohio,
September %.
1t is already known that the
increase in food prices here
from July 1886 to July ls47
was the fifth highest among
the Sc cities for which the U. S.
Bureau of Labor statistics pro-
vides data.
BIS statistics also show that
the highest price in retail stores
OF Chicago frequently is some
times more than double the fig
ures charged by the lowest cost
stores for identical commodities.
