New Ghost Towns

Some weeks ago the Senate Trade Policies Committee
under the Craftsmanship of Senator Capehart of Indiana
started inquiry into the merits Of the socaed basng
point price system Under that SYSTEM banned by the
Federal Trade Commission manufacturers allowed to
absorb freight costs of establishing uniform
price for their products throughout the country The ETC
ruling, harmful to industry and labor well to the
sumng public has been upheld by the United States Sup
rene Court.
DESTROYS of obtaining abor's views this much dsput
ed SYSTEM Chairman Capehart requested information from
trade unions how the ban of these practices would affect
the membership An answer has not been slow in orthcom
ing
William Schoenberg, president of the AFL United Gem
in focefu language that would lead to decentralization of
the cement industry To large cement plants especial
y in onendusty communities to other would he sad
disturb community life and create small ghost towns
such have experienced in cOa-mning communities
after the supply had been exhausted He added that it
would be impossible for most of the workers to migrate to
production centes and that the breakup of large plants
into number of separately located smaller units would also
make for higher prices
The view set forth by the head of the AFL work
union is significant Though it deals primarily with the
venmenta interference wreak economic havoc nno
cent bystanders and in particular the workers and their
dependents. We trust other union spokesmen will take
equally determined stand and that they will not fail to make
known the resentment which organized labor feels in the
wake of growing bureaucratic intervention with the

Peak Profits Meance Jobs

for full employment the American Federation of Labor
reporting that many companies have raised prices
FAR above costs in order to increase profits
to get capital for machinery and plant expansion This
robs the instead of getting capital
from investors.
Herein lies the danger the AFL explains: The price
rise which creates peak profits also cuts away the
market which sustans production and employment future
jobs and future profits. Right now, production is rising
while buying declines and chart is cited to show that
from 1916 through the first half Of 1948 total production
all farms and industries has increased 10 percent while the
total buying of all (adjusted for price
rise) fell percent.
Industry not yet affected by this shrnkage of buying
because Of the huge demand for products created by
the unprecedented plant expansion program of private bus
nesS and the European recovery program and military
pendtures But of these programs permanently
support full production and employment and there are al
ready signs of dangerous breakdown in demand which
could cause serious business recession.

YOUR FAMILY'S FOOD

Feast on Figs

Hurrah for figs! That might
well be the current cry of the
homemakers this week. be
cause dried figs are one of the
best buys Of the season. They
are especially abundant in our
markets now. and their price
has dropped in recent months.
Somehow we tend to forget
about figs as a valuable food.
You may look upon them as
one of the extras" to be serv-
ed occasionally, but figs are
far better food than most folks
realize. They are an important
source of calories. Two small
figs will replace the calorde
value of a slice of bread. This
is recommended as a good di-
etary practice especially in re-
lation to food conservation. In
addition, dried figs are a par
ticularly good source of the
minerals-calcium and iron.
March is the month when
meal planners get out the cook
books for new ideas,-some-
thing different than you've SER
we'd all winter. Here's where
figs come in. They can be used
in breads, cakes, cookies, pud-
dings, sauses, candies, conserv
es and jam.
Easy Dessert
Following is a dessert with
figs which is delicious, nut
ritious anl easy to make.

chopped figs, remove from the
fire and fold in two egg whites
