Labor Outlook
Is. Good business depends up-
on two things. ID reasonable
wages and (2) reasonable prices.
When both Of these factors are
in balance there Is good bust
ness; but when they get out of
balance, look for trouble. Low
prices are of little help when
people have insufficient wages
with which to buv' but it is al
so true that good wages are of
little use if prices are too high
for people to buy. The Taft
Hartley Law will be repealed or
amended to encourage free
speech, union protection and
increased production.
rs. The income Of wagework-
erS must increase before an adj
vance in prices. Contrariwise,
too high prices always preeede
a decline in employment and
wages. This downward cycle
leading to unemployment may
begin in 1949. Much depends
upon crops and weather.
81. Labor leaders who get in
creased wage rates usually get
reelected, while those who dc
not get wage increases are
liable to be defeated. Hence
labor leaders have naturally
kept urging higher wages, al
though they may feel in theil
hearts that wages are high
enough for the time being. We
forecast that 1949 will see some
change of attitude in this re-
gard and that wise leaders viii
be more interested in prevent
ing the "bust".
%. If wages are too high, or
ganized labor is the first to be
! laid off when business declines
Unorganized workers have the
steadiest jobs and will ri
through 1949 without losing
their positions.
20. Some labor leaders will
during 1949, work for pension
systems and sick benefits. Thi.
would be a constructive pro.
gram for employers who can az
ford to do it, but many wage
workers will some day unite ir
urging a program which will
give steady work throughout the
year. This is the best hope fol
lower building costs. Bricklay-
ers, painters and carpenters are
criticized today for doing such
a small amount of work, but We
must remember the many. day!
when they are unable to work
due to weather and other con-
ditions.

MORE THAN 400 PUPILS ENROLL FOR NEXT TERM

By 5 o'clock Wednesday after noon, there were already total of 428 children pre-enrolled for the coming term in Palmer schools twelve grades, it was announced by Carl Smelling, SUD- erintendent of schools. Of that figure, 3O3 enrollees were of the grade school level and 125 were in high school.
 Since the normal school en- rollment may be expected to in- crease eight percent of this years total, next years total enrolment may be expected to reach 462 students.
 However figures reflecting an ticipated Alaskan migration this summer have indicated tn t school populations in, this sec tion of the territory may jump to a 30 percent increase, the sup erintendent stated. In the event that figure becomes an actuali- ty, then Palmer school may look for 600 new students next Sep tember-425 in the grades and 175 in high school.
 In the event that 600 new stu dents do arrive, Palmer will be forced to turn away many pu- pills next term. It is only by re- arranging present assignments and advancing some teachers to new class that the school will be able to handle the normal eight percent increase.

A Few Words of Wisdom

A river captain called at a shipping office in New Orleans to ask for a job on one of their river steamers. The agent asked him if he knew all about the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. He rather 'reckoned not" but thought he knew enough to run a boat.
 "Well," said the agent, ''do you know where all the snags are against which ship would be likely to run aground?"
 Again the captain "reckoned not'', but added quaintly, know where the snags ain't, and that is where I expect to run my boat"
 That is the divine law of life, to be filled with the Spirit and occupied with Christ and posi- tive duty, and the snags will take care of themselves-k. B. Simpson.

The present school budget does not permit the employment of any added teachers next term. However some grades already have two teachers, and it is ex- pected that the incoming su- perintendent will be able to shift teachers to where the class burden is heaviest and thus meet the demand under a normal in- crease in enrolment.
 Pre-enrollment is still continu- ing in the office of Palmer school. Children may be registered for next years term until the end of the present term on May 21. Mir. Smelling urged that parents whose children have not yet been registered do so at the earliest opportunity.
 In the event that students must be turned away, local res idents, whose children were pre- registered, will be given priori- ty for admittance. After all local residents have been ac- commodated, priority will be given to students on the basis of their pre-enrollment.

Politics
Bare KnUckIe Tactics

DOIS NnUCkIS IUCIlCS
It was a week of intense political
fights, figurative and literal. Candi-
dates for the COP presidential NOM
ination began to remove the gloves
in their speeches. In Alabama, a vice
presidential candidate was in scuffle
with a cop.
The big news was the Republican
primary in Ohio where Harold E..
Stassen, fresh from primary victories
in Nebraska and Wisconsin, invaded
the home state of Sen. Robert A. Taft.
Stassen duelled with Taft, however,
for only % of the states So delegates
in II carefully selected districts.
Of the delegates on the block, the
former Minnesota governor came
close to winning half. The Ohio SEN
ator proved strongest in parts of
Cleveland and most of the farm Sec
tions, StaSsen in the industrial areas.
This was a reversal of the trend in
Wisconsin and Nebraska where the
farm vote put StaSsen over.
Meanwhile, the Republican choice
for the White House in 1914, Thomas
E. Dewey, was fighting hard to repeat.
Trying to win the IL Oregon con-
vention votes from StasSen in the
May II primary, the New York gov
ernor blasted the MinneSotan for his
plan to outlaw the Communist Party.
Dixie Revolt Grows
On the Democratic side, President
Truman picked up SO delegates in the
Ohio primary, but showed no signs
of staving off the Dixie revolt. In
Alabama, an anti-Truman slate OF
candidates for II presidential elector
posts won a large majority. They
were pledged to vote in the electoral
college next November against any
Democrat supporting Truman's civil
rights platform.
In the same state, the controversy
over civil rights suddenly became
more physical than academic. Sen.
Glen Taylor (D-Idaho), vice presi-
Dental candidate on the Henry Wal
lace Third Party ticket, tried to use
a Birmingham church entry marked:
''For Negroes Only" A scuffle be-
tween the senator and a policeman
resulted in the candidates arrest.

Taylor as a publicity seeker, fined
him $50 and suspended a six-months

No Achilles Heel

A bomb mailed to Capt. Roy Farran,
British war hero marked for death by
the Jewish underground in Palestine,
exploded in his home in Wolverhamp-
ton, Eng, this week and killed his
brother.
It is the sixth time Capt. Farran
has escaped death by violence. He
was acquitted last fall of numbering
a youthful member of the Stern gang,
Jewish extremist organization, and
recently left the army. He was visit
ing in Scotland this week when a
postwoman brought the bomb, con-
cealed in volume of Shakespeare's
plays.
Addressed to "R. Farran," it was
opened by his 26-year-old brother,
Rex, whose initials are the same as
Roy's. The brother died two hours
later of abdominal wounds.
A much decorated hero whose med
ais include the American Legion of
Merit, Farran's exploits in seven
years include the following narrow
escapes:
In October, 1910, then a second
lieutenant In an armored division, his
tank was hit at close range by 81
millimeter shells and set afire. He
escaped on foot
On Crete, his tank was hit three
times by enemy fire and captured.
Taken prisoner, he escaped from the
Germans at Athens by setting out for
Egypt in a 30-foot boat. On the 10th
day, with food and water exhausted,
he was rescued by a British naval
craft
In 1912, while driving for Mai. Gen.
Jock Campbell, their car overturned
in the African desert. The general
was killed.

operatives to the bomb case. Uncon-
firmed reports said the trail led to
