by four. This will give you the
number of gallons per hour that
your pump should throw.
The kind of pump is very impor-
tant, and the most common types
now on the market are the jet,
e%jector, and reciprocating pumps.
These will all work on shallow wells,
those under % feet. But only the
jet will work on deep wells. The
jet and e~jector type pumps work
on the same principal only that the
e%jector is easier to install in a shall
low well because it is built espe-
cially for this purpose. The recip-
rocating pump is built to furnish
smaller amounts of water than the
two other types and works fine
where a small amount of water is
needed such as just for home use.
Follow Directions
On installing the pump follow the
manufacturers directions carefully
and be sure to tighten all couplings
and see that the packing glands
don't leak. If your pump is equipped
with a pressure tank, it will let you
use from z to 10 gallons of water

COMBATING THE PRICE RISE

DECLARING workers losing ground in the against
~ soaring COSTS the American Federation of Labor gives
worthwhile advice to earners on how to do their
bit in fighting initiation.
Money initiation is gradually bleeding away workers
buying power the AFL says in discussing the price stua
ton in it's monthly survey Because union members have
won substantial wage gains since VI Day, they have man
aged in general to keep little ahead of the price rise but
their living standards not rising they should In this
period of prosperity. Their real gains are small.
"Non-union workers find their living standards sharp
y reduced because their wages aren't keeping with
prices For Millions full employment has been accompan
led by losses in the buying OF their weekly pay
From wartime peak in January 1916 the average
workers real takehome pay has shrunk until today it
buys less than in 1912 and only little than in 1889
November 94 the average worker with dependents
had only II per cent real wage than in 1882 the
workers with wife and two children had 25 cent
because his taxes were lower"
Then comes the good advise:
workers do much to combat the price rises which
stopping their progress Money initiation must be check
ed its source but action to resist high prices retail
stores also essential This is time to buy than
you have to- to all you and invest u S. Savings
Bonds to avoid purchases credit nstament to avoid
debts and keep your finances in sound condition. to

exist will be made up

SUCH DEPTHS OF AFFECTION

READING of the magazines of Business these days
AZ is almost overwhelmed at the depth of affection
which the publishers profess toward those who toll for their
living 1t is really quite touching 1t would be far more con-
vncng however, if these publishers would stop trying to
feed the nauseatng propaganda brew that the TAFT
Hartley Act is good for Labor
The chief of the recent oubursts of affection
from publishers to Labor is the determination OF Labor to
into politics and to defeat the enemies of the
working people, particularly those pals of the NAM who
voted the Tat-Hartey Act Oh, please do not into
politics. those publishers say. f you do you will be
very sorry for the final result will be had for the country
and bad for Labor"
Huh If it's good idea for the NAM and the big
poraons go into politics. why is bad for Labor to do
likewise?
What these publishers do not understand is that Labor
does want go into the political field 1t is because
dislike politics intensely that failed to take sufficient
interest in the last election We brought the TaftHare
Act ourselves by refusing to register and vote. Now,
however, forced into political action Our enemies,
among them the very publishers who trying to smoth
us with kisses took advantage of dnteres in poll
tics to stick knife back We have got to into poll

TAX CUT

THE "cos of living" tax cut that President Truman has
proposed to Congress is measure which all trade
unionists will Fundamentally support.
Here is proposal to lift burden from the shoulders
of those least able to bear it. 1t merely designed to enable
millions of wage earning Americans to buy little more OF
the necessities of life that they cannot afford
The Presidents proposal to increase corporation taxes
to make up for this loss of revenue is also sound 1t will
cause hardship President has pointed out because
business profits already antascay large and business
can easily afford to assume larger tax burden.
Trade unonsts should let Congress know IN no uncer-
tain terms that here is they adopted Above
ALL they should not be fooled by charges that Mr. Truman
is merely playing politics.
If this is playing politics. it is the type of politics we
like The President has done his part 1t is to Congress
and the nations working people to take it from here.

And yet in order to make political show of economy
Republican leaders Congress already boastng of the
cuts they plan to make.
The result will be that the so-caed savings" will be
made by badly imparng killing off entirely the Pres
dents proposals for improving educational SYSTEM for
expanding odcontro work. for national health insurance
program for increased odage benefits and for construc
tion of public housing.
These programs designed to help the lot of the work
ing people.
Unless labor makes its voice heard, there is little chance
of their adoption.

SOUR NOTE

ACTION by the big orange growers in deliberately with
holding fruit from the market in order to jack up the
price is fragrant example of ndustrys disregard of the
rights of consumers, including trade unioniStS
Much has been said by the nations industralsts
against so-caed eaherbeddng practices of trade unions
against arbitrary demands for increases and of the
desrabiy of letting prices adjust themselves to their
tural level in a free market.
Yet when industry itself takes arbitrary action to eath
its nest not word of protest is heard not voice
is raised against industry action in creating artificial scar
cities and manipulating the market.
We can only conclude:
That the ndustriaSs favor free economy only in the
that they free to do busness-or not to do it
they see fit.
That they still cling to the frame of mind that
sanctioned the png of tons of citrus fruit in the to rot
all in the holy name of profits.
