suffered more casualties than any
other regiment, 1t won the Presiden-
tial unit citation more times than
any other unit. While I served in
another theatre, we were all greatly
impressed by the record of this unit.
after the war, 1t so happened
that very considerable number of
members of the 442nd combat team
came to Chicago and settled in my
part of the city. I have attended
their reunions and I have never met
nicer, more modest and manly
group of men. The Japanese Ameri-
can residents of the city in4general
are extremely good citizens. They
are self-respecting and law-abiding,
industrious, Clearly and orderly. 1t
is my feeling that the loyalty of the
Orientals in this country has been
thoroughly tested by the late war.
Those who were disloyal were sent
back to Japan and the others after
a period of time emerged with a
clean slate.
IT believe it would be merely sim
pie justice to remove the present
racial barriers which prevent fine
Orientals. who have proved their
devotion to this country, from be-
coming citizens. incidentally, the
removal of this unjust disability
should have distinctive favorable
effect upon our relationships with
the people of Asia whom we are
trying to win to our cause. The
communists are playing up our pre-
sent racial barriers and these bar
riers furnish fuel to their flame.
1 hope we can take these talking
points away from them. But most
of all, 1t seems to me that the pro-
posal stands on its own merits"

, leaders should use their power to
force wage increases on public
that understands how bad it would
be.
Already, John @. Public is aroused.
In recent survey, the Psychological
Corporation found that the Ameri-
can public is at odds with the con
tention of United Steel Workers
tC.IO) that wage increases would
help business. The large majority
$50 percen) thought that wage
increase at this time would not help
improve Business, or cure unemploy-
ment. Even union members them
selves apparently know, that bust
ness would be worse and jobs more
scarce following a general wage in
crease, according to the survey.
Don't Tumble the Economy
If a fourth round of wage in
creases would serve only to make
fewer jobs and hurt business, then
do we want ftp If prices would go
up and Jobs down in number then
how could fourth round help the
nation as a whole? The very things
we need at this time are: more
production, more jobs for more peo-
pie. more profits to go into better
machines and plants, and lower
prices for consumers. We can not
achieve any of these things through
another round of increases.
Perhaps the greatest present need
is lower prices. About 95 per cent
of the public has plenty of buying
power, with today,s high wages and
with savings accumulated This buy
ing power can be reached only by
offering lower prices. On every hand,
industry is bringing about lower
prices while trying hard to keep to-
days high wages. Wage increases
stacked on top Of costs already too
high for the consumer, could tum-
BILE our whole economy. -

I am sure there is hardly a person
in all America who would not like
to see another round of wage in
creases go into effect = If it were
a good thing for everybody. But it
would not be good thing for any
body. Many of the best friends labor
has now believe that another round
could upset the economy, taking us
closer to the brink of depression or
perhaps even plunging us into the
depths of it. I am in full agreement
with that viewpoint.
For the government to force an
increase might mean more votes
at the next election. Yet, the final
result in the form of depression
and unemployment, would be hard
to explain TO the people Or, If the
stronger of our unions should force
an increase through strike tactics
would that not also be a great mis-
take? If a general increase means
higher prices and fewer jobs in the
long run, what have we gained?
Absolutely nothing. We lose.
Our Own POcketbOOks
The only real way that more pay
can come now without hurting bust
ness is through more productivity
Just to have wage increase with
out also increasing production would
add nothing to the national income
but would lower 1t. On top of today's
good wages, another round of in
creases for the few who belong to
highly organized unions could start
trend that would lower the pur-
chasing power of everybody in AM
erica
OF 60,0O0,000 employed persons
hardly more than 100000 could
possibly force a wage increase. But
this would be enough to raise prices
of everything. Neither the few nor
the many would gain in the long
run for all of us would have to pay
more for what we buy. Business to-
day has no place where it can alb
sorb further wage increases, and
keep current price and production
levels. Any wage increases would
come right back, to the people. They
would come right out of our own
pocketbooks.

started the fight, must have been
waiting just for this, for after the
Militia left, out they came again
and the fighting really started in
ernest. Soon group from the one
faction, which was stationed above
Williamsport came into the town and
committed "excesses," but we are
not told just what But the next day,
when they attempted to return, they
were met at the viaduct by people
from the town, and repealed Then
the faction stationed below the town
took this as their excuse for relia-
ton on the upper group, as bitter
enmity had arisen between them. So
they marched, about three hundred
strong, toward the upper dam.
Armed with guns, clubs and helves,
they declared that they intended no
attack, but that they merely wanted
to display their strength. Just above
the aqueduct, they were joined by
more help, so that by the time they
reached the upper group, there were
six or seven hundred of them.
In field near the upper dam, they
met a force of the other faction,
drawn up in battle order and armed
with guns. So the battle started,
and large number were killed and
many more wounded. The smaller
faction from above the town re-
treated into the woods around, and
were pursued by their attackers, and
many more we're slain in the woods.
AT 10 o'clock that night, the victor
ious lower group marched quietly
through Williamsport and returned
to their camps below the town.
And of course the next day the
Militia returned and found all quiet,
but the signs of the slaughter all
around They made arrests, and
managed to get leaders from the
two factions to sign a truce. But
this sort of trouble kept plaguing
the canal construction work as long
as the canal was being built

say that these mills, mostly Touring
mills, but some of other purposes,
spread along the banks of the An
tietam and the Conococheague at
short intervals, as we'll as upon 9TH
er streams"
Just before the turn of the cen
tury of the zoos, these mills had
grown to such a capacity for the
grinding of wheat and other grains,
, that it was stated that the local
farms-that is here in the Wash
ington County area, around Hagers-
town-could not produce enough
wheat to keep these mills supplied.
AS result, wheat began to come in
from other places. Now that would
be very simple matter today
just pick up the phone and call one
of the dozens of hauling companies,
and the truck is at your door al
most before you have the receiver
back on the hook. But in those days
there were no such companies, no
telephones, no speed. But every
thing moved at the speed of the age,
and the freight got hauled.
Most of the wheat for the mills
fioated down the "Potowmack" on
flatboats, and a great portion of it
was unloaded at Williamsport at the
warehouse of Thomas Dobbins and
Charles Brooks. These same ware
housemen also took care of shipping
large quantities of flour on down
the river to Georgetown, after the
wheat had gone through the process
ses of the mills of this section. Re
member that this was in the days
before the canal had been built, and
that trade was largely clown" the
river, and that in many cases these
early boats were dismantled at
Georgetown, as there was no prac-
teal way of taking the large boats
back up the river Remember too,
that it was this trade, with the part
played by the people of this section,
that led to the dreams of making
the river navigable, and finally re-
solved in the building of the famous
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
In connection with the building
of the canal, l came across an in
teresting description of one of the
many uprisings that occurred along
the Potomac. This description be-
gins by stating that news of the up
rising reached Hagerstown on Jan
uary 20, 1884, and that the cause of
the trouble was supposed to have
been "non-payment of wages" Then
the account of the happenings is Civ
en-, but no further reference is Civ
en- to the cause At the first notice of
the disturbance, the two companies
of Hagerstown Volunteers marched
to Williamsport. Here they were
told that the fighting, which had
started just below the town, had
subsidized, and that there were many
wounded, but no deaths So the
Militia promptly returned to Hagers-
town But the two factions that had

HORSE AND
BUGGY DAYS
by
Ida 10 Martin

l recently saw an application
blank, one of these modern affairs,
made up of a combined question
airre, examination, and before you
get through with it, you think it is
an accusation Well, this one asked
so many questions that it reminded
me of something similar l remem-
Der reading, about the way news
papers published news in the old
days, as compared with the CLAM
orous and exciting tales of today.
Whereas today, you read all the
details. For example, when you
read about an accident, you read
just where each person was cut and
bruised, how deeply or how long
the cash was, and quite bit of his
personal history, together with the
opinions of the various witnesses of
the accident, bystanders and late
corners. But when the horse was
the prime mover of the highway,
it was quite different.
A good illustration of how an ac-
cident was reported in the older
newspapers, can be found in the
treatment they gave of an explos-
ion in a powder mill along the An
tietam, at Delemere, in March of
1899. This explosion was quite
severe, as there were, in various
lots within the mill, more than one
hundred and fifty pounds of finish
ed powder. 1t injured the work
men and several hunters who had
stopped at the mill to replenish their
stock of powder, resulting in severe
burns for one hunter, broken thigh
for another, and one workman was
blinded by the fire. The explosion
also blew the roof off the mill. But
despite all this, the newspapers
merely stated that several men had
been injured" and did not so much
as mention their names.
The mill was owned by one Mr..
John Booth, and the cause of the
explosion was attributed to one of
the mortar's becoming too dry,
though I'm not sure that even this
information was given in the papers.
At this same time there were 9TH
er powder mills along the Antietam,
as there was quite demand for
powder locally, both for firearms
and for blasting rock for big scale
construction works in those days,
such as the building of the canal,
several railroads, and turnpikes.
One of these mills was at Funl1s-
town and was owned and operated
by John Light. This mill was in the
production of powder for a period
of twenty-five years, and we read
that during that time it was con-
tinually blowing up. Now that
would be quite some place to work.
And there were other types of mills
along the Antietam, some of the
owners being: Colonel Stull, Will
liam Hager, Cephal Beall, Claggett
& Beall, David Rowland, Beall &
Kendall, and others. The records
