But, he forgot that Wolfe en-

Before the f1ustered foreman
could think of an answer, Taft
arrived at the entrance to the
composing room, accompanied
by top-management officials.
The first thing that met his
eye was a copy of 1.-THE Robert
Alphonso Taft Story" the pic
ture book the United L a b o r
League of Ohio is distributing
widely.
Taft's face turned red with
anger as he. saw the book and

desk and shook hands hurriedly;

Wants Fair
Wage Rates Set

BOSTON, Mass. (LPA) - AS
sorting that many of the 225,000
mercantile workers in Massa-
chusetts are receiving "unrea-
sonable and oppressive" wages,
State Labor Commissioner John
j. Del Monte asked the State
Wage Commission to
name a wage board to recon-
mend minimum fair wage rates"
for such workers. He pointed out
that under a 1948 state wage
order, Massachusetts, mercantile
workers now receive a minimum
of SIS cents cents an hour if ex-
perienced and so cents if unex-
perienced.

WASHINGTON (LPA) - In
dustry and its experts" are
fighting union demands as Sin
flationary", but they are silent
about inflated prices, which con-
tinue to climb.
Gov. Chester Bowles of Con-
necticut, former OPA head, pre-
dicted Sept. % that there will be
a price roll-back even in event
of a quick victory in Korea, but
meanwhile prices keep going UP.
The Commerce Department
reported that by mid-September
"Prices of industrial goods aver
aged six percent higher than at
the end of June, topping the
previous postwar peak reached
in September, 1948. Farm and
food prices advanced one-tenth
since June, although they re-
main below their postwar
peak"
The Federal Reserve Board
Index, issued the following day,
confirmed these figures. 1t add
ed that numerous industrial ma
terial have risen by about as
much since March as during the
six month period following the
elimination of wartime price
controls in 1946.
Since these are the basic ma
terials, w h 60 into most
manufactured roducts s, the
worst is yet to come. The Com
merce survey shows that there
are shortages, and production is
not keeping up with the de-
mand. In addition the govern
ment Is continuing to hand out
defense a s, drawing
manufacturers away from civil
ian production.
Personal incomes, it showed,
rose to an annual rate of $219
billion in July, an increase of So
billion over June. Most of this
increase went TO "proprietors",
m e a n i storekeepers, farm
owners, and other business men.
Some went into higher wages,
won in recent labor contracts.

York, Pa. Anti Red
Bill Is Pattern For
Union Busting actics
Even Attempt
To Indte Riot

YORK, Pa. (LPA) - Capital
izing on the current anti-Red
hysteria, reactionaries are put
ting over local ordinances to
hamstring unions.
This low-wage, open-shop
town, is an example of the pat
tern. The City Council has pass
ed an ordinance aimed at pre-
venting distribution of Com

ly drawn was the measure that

nance would not be necessary.
Congress has enacted the bill
over President Truman's veto).
The local "anti-subversive'
ordinance includes such loose
phrases as matter which may
reasonably tend to incite riot
or public disorder"
The union declared that such
loose language hit directly at
unions and a local committee
was formed to start a drive for
repeal. The initial committee
comprised Carl BURNER, Ma
chinists' business agent; Henry
Dropkin, field representative,
CLIO Amalgamated Clothin 6
orkers; Leon Silar, business
agent, ALL Transfers; William
Holderman, field representative,
CLIO Textile Workers. Later the
Central Labor Union and the
Industrial Union Council en-
dorsed the committees work
and got busy too.
Bentzel, originally elected
with labor support, forfeited la
Dor backing when three city
policemen broke into a negoti-
sting meeting between a furni-
ture company and a committee
representing the ALL uphol-
sterers. A strike had been in
progress at the plant.

Bentzel, not satisfied with the
ordinance already passed, is
pressing for another TO require
registration of c o m m unists s.
Again. the proposed ordinance Is
so loosely drawn as to be an
anti-union device. Says the
draft: 1T Is the intent and pur-
pose of this ordinance to avert
by every stationary and rea-
sonable method, any act of sabo-
tage TO be attempted in the city
which would seriously disrupt
or curtail the normal operation
OF our industrial plants. THE
following must report to police
headquarters and register: "any

who shall participate in any sub
versive activity designed TO
hinder or curtail the normal and
usual operation of the industrial
plants within the city"

seeds weakened slightly at the start
of the planting season. Although
total stocks are small, they appear
to be ample for requirements. Grow
ers' sales of six leading seeds are ex-
pected to be about IL percent larger
than from the 1948 crop and 4 per-
cent over the 1943-47 average. With
prices extremely high, dealers will
want to avoid carryovers of most
seeds.
DAIRY PRODUCTS-Price are
likely to be fairly steady for manu-
featuring milk and butter fat but
lower prices are probable for milk
and cream for fluid use. Milk pro-
duction is running about percent
over last year and highest on record
for the time of year. Nationally, the
milk flow usually increases about
80 percent from March to June The
support program will prevent the
usual seasonal decline in butter,
cheese and evaporated milk.
EGGS-Steady to slightly higher
prices for top grades are probable.
Production probably is passing the
peak, but will continue quite high
for the next two months and 6 to 8
percent over last year. Consumption
has increased moderately at retail
prices 10 to Is percent lower than
year ago. Storage demand remains
active because of the desirability of
early spring eggs for storing, but it
will taper off as receipts decline.
Stocks are substantially above aver
age at this season.
POTATOES - Steady to weak
prices appear probable for the rest
of the old crop season. March l
stocks were estimated at 87,700,000
bushels against 68,5OO,OO0 bushels a
year ago and the largest on record
for that date.

AgricNlfnraL agency Meas
ELIGIBILITY FOR PRICE
SUPPORTS OUTLINED

ELIGIBILITY FOR PRICE sup
port on any of the three crops, wheat,
potatoes and beans, currently sub
ject to acreage allotments will be de-
termined independently, according to
r. J. McKenna, chairman of the state
production and marketing admins
tration committee.
For example, a producer who COM
plies with his farm wheat allotment
will be eligible for 1850 wheat sup
ports whether or not he has planted
in excess of his allotment for beans
or potatoes. However, producers
who exceed their allotment for any
particular crop will not be eligible
for price supports on that crop.
When producer owns or has an
interest in more than one farm pro-
ducing a commodity subject to allot-
ments, provisions vary according to
the commodity, McKenna said.
For potatoes, a producer who has
more than one farm must comply
with the acreage allotment Tor each
farm in which he has an interest. If
he exceeds his potato allotment on
any one farm, he will not be eligible
for price support on any potatoes
produced on any of his farms.
For wheat and dry beans, a pro-
Queer with more than one farm will
be eligible for price support only if
the sum of his shares of the actual
acreage of the commodity on all his
farms does not exceed the sum of his
shares of the allotments for the COM
modify on all his farms.
However, such producer will re-
ceive price support only on the pro-
duction from those individual farms
where the individual farm allotment
has not been exceeded. In other
words, he will not be able to receive
price support on production from
those farms where the acreage allot-
ment was exceeded.
