WE MUST DO BETTER IN AS

WE believe it's good idea occasionally to take stock of
~ where you've been before trying to figure out where
you're going in the future.
So let's take inventory for 1947.
Business and industry did right well by themselves
during the past year Profits and prices hit atme highs
Dividend payments nothing to cause complaint.
Agriculture, generally did OK too though some farm
groups got caught in the highprice squeeze.
Big business, which promised the death of OPA would
be followed by prices consumers would be willing to pay
pushed many prices high that unable to
pay.
Industry spent of time and money trying to con-
vince the public that industry the vctmand not the
maker-of initiation There visible evidence that
made real effort to reduce prices keep them
the years end some leaders of business and indus
try expressed the direction in which the nation
was heading but none of them seemed willing to advocate
drastic action to avoid an economic crisis.
lhey turned thumbs down on price control figured out
schemes for hinderng the progress of ionism and
followed program of business as usual
The Repubican-conrOed Congress paid slight heed to
the pressing needs OF nation suffering from the aere
fects of war
1t refused to face the housing problem realistically turn
cd cold shoulder social legislation and delivered nigh
ty haymaker to the chin of organized labor.
Congress and the Administration trampled on civil
rights by launching subversve Investigations which did
not permit the accused to confront their

special session during which they SHE'D away from real

Near the end of 1917 it became obvious that working

We're to enjoy decent standard of living.
That's why labor announced was launching campaign
for substantial wage increases and it expressed belief that
industry could grant wage hikes without increasing prices
Earlier it had become obvious that business and indus
try using legislative machinery in an effort to make
labor unions weak and ineffective.
That's why labor-decded to conduct campaign dur

INJURY BENEFITS INCREASED

THAT gains be made IN State labor IeglSlatOn even
when the foes of labor seeking and winning regres-
sve laws shown by the fact that legislatures in % states
last year increased amounts which must be paid to workers
in compensation for on-the- job injuries.
The Council of State Governments points out that 10
states pay up to $25 week compensation In states
maximum of $50 week is paid for temporary disability
Six states passed laws in 1947 providing improved medical
care while death benefits for dependents of those killed in
occupationa accidents were increased in 20 states.
In addition states enacted laws giving protection
against loss of health from occupatona diseases bringing
the total of states with such legislation to 49, Laws creating
funds to compensate for second injuries passed in
states, bringing the total in this group to 81.

GOOD NEWS

VETERAN tradeunonsts vivdly recall how, after
World War l. many businesses ruthessly Disseminated
against hiring older employees, filling their payros with
younger
so per of the nations population will be 45 years
old and Is per cent 65
1t is heartening against this background to note signs
that the prejudice against hiring older employees is begin
ming to disappear Some firms at least hold their older
employees in greater esteem than before.
Latest evidence of this is offered by committee OF
the New York Legislature
The committee reports that three out of four employers
in New York State believe that older workers produce
much younger employees Only 80 of the 1000 business
firms questioned said that the older workers produce less
Most of the employers also reported that the older
workers were absent less
We think this report is good for all tradeunon
lists, young and old.

FAILS TO IMPRESS PUBLIC

DVICE from the Council Of Economic Advisors, which is
telling Congress behind the scenes how to fight infa-
on somehow doesn't impress the public For instance the
Council says:
"Ths is how fight the consumer, by restraint
in buying both food and nonood items labor by absainng
from nordnate wage demands management, by not trying
to get all the traffic will bear in prices
Sounds all right, doesn't it, The trouble is that the con-
sumer matter how frugal in his buying knows he is being
gouged numerically Labor knows that profits out of all
and that prices have far outrun wages The
living standard has been sharply reduced since the
death of OPA because selfish management has demanded
and taken, unconsconable profits
Until there is way to prevent unfair profits until
there is other method of balancing wages against
prices that the and who produce the goods
and services will receive their rghtfu share of the good
things OF life the toers through their Unions, must go
right asking for, and getting increased wages.

BILL OF RIGHTS

ONE hundred and fty-sx years the first 10 amend
ments to the Constitution of the United States were
formally ratified and the people were for the first time
guaranteed the protection of the Bill of Rights.
1t is refreshing in these days to remember that popu
sentiment in 1889 overwhelmingly in favor OF the
Bill of Rights that the 13 original states would not adopt
constitution until they had been assured that the
amendments would be submitted the first order of busl
Throughout the years the Bill of Rights have remained
buwar of American freedom but should be matter OF
great that the Supreme Court IN recent de-
cson seriously weakened the Fourth Amendment which
forbds federal officers from searching mans home with
proper warrant 1t is not enough that our
were ygiant protect their fundamental liberties and
We must fight to preserve them now, or we are not
worthy of them

'4S FOOTBALL
SEASON OPENS
University of Delaware Will
Meet P.M.C. Saturday Night
To Open Season
RIVALS SINCE 1896

The University of Delaware Blue
Hens will open their 1948 football
season against Pennsylvania Mil
itary College Saturday night at
Wilmington Park, renewing a riv-
airy that started in 1896. Of the
Sc games the two teams have play
ed since 1896, the Cadets have won
18 as compared with Is for the
Hens. Three games were tied.
Since Bill Murray took over the
coaching duties in 1910, the Della
ware Birds have taken all five con-
tests played by an average margin
of two touchdowns, but this year
PMC is expected to have one of the
best teams it has had in years on
the field. Saturday nights tilt will
mark the opening of six home
games to be played at Wilmington
Park, as the Hens play only two
games away this season, at Gettys-
burg, and against Rollins College
at Orlando, Fla. Coach Murray is
putting separate offensive and de-
fensive teams in the field this sea-
son in playing his modified combi-
nation T and double wing strategy.
Besides these variations, he is
working on speciality combinations
soring trips for the boys and girls
aerial defense and other strategy
setups. The next game on the Blue
Hens schedule will be against the
University of Maryland at Will
mington Park Saturday, october 2.

is an obvious fact that religious ed

gated to a Church school, which
functions for one hour a week. If
the Church is not to return to the

ELECTION FOR
Committeeman
1949 Agricultural Conserva
tion and Price Support Pro-
grams for Delaware
ELECTION OCTOBER 27

Farmers of Delaware should be-
gin thinging about the committee
men they want to administer the
1e49 Agricultural Conservation and
Price Support Programs, says C. E
Ocheltree, chairman of the Della
ware Production and Marketing
Administration Committee. The
chairman announces that October
81 is the date for the election of
community committeeman. Some
go committeeman will be elected on
this date to administer the farm
program in their communities and
to advise with the county commit
tee in the administration of the
program in their county. At the
community elections, delegates will
also be elected to attend a County
convention where county agricul-
tural conservation program COM
mittee will be elected. The date
for the county conventions in all
three counties is October %. Ochel-
tree suggests that now is the time
for farmers of the State to ap-
praise the work of the committee
men who are now administering
the program. In the words of the
chairman: eff they are doing a
good job and are doing it as well
as or better than anyone else could
do it, then the farmers in the COM
munity and county should support
them by turning out at election
time and give them a vote of con-
fidence. Each farmer should feel
it his duty to participate in the
conservation program election and
to serve to the best of his ability if
elected"
