High Prices And The Coming Wage Freeze

ter how trying-with the boy who, at the
very threshold of a whole life, has to die in
the service of his country? !.
Obviously such "equalizatin of sacrifice is
impossible.
But there are other fields, particularly for
the people who stay at home, where equality
of sacrifice" is possible. There is no need for
profiteering, for example. There is no reason
why certain segments of our population should
get rich while the rest of our people have to do
without essential needs.
ALL THIS brings to our mind the statement
"A of President William Green of the AFL
concerning wage controls. Mr.. Green pointed
out just as the CIO has pointed out on a num-
Der of occasiOns-that prices have been sky
rocketing out of bounds, especially since the
Krean war started. AS a matter of fact, since
June % prices have risen upwards of Is %.
Naturally, this means a 15% wage cut
for the workers.
With prices still climbing, workers are suf-
fering additional wage cuts for their dollar
buys less and less in our stores.
AT H SAME time, however, we see the re-
4 ports on corporation profits.
And these profits are rising with almost
the same dizziness that we note in the price
hikes. For example the steel industry, report
ing Tor the first SIX months OF 1880, is setting
new marks in earnings. Steel companies rep
resenting 88.7% of the industry's total ingot
capacity have reported a net profit Of $685.
914. 295 for the first six months of this year
as against a net profit of 1921 100, 1851 for the
same period last year.
What is true of the steel industry is even
more so for automobile and other industries.
Everywhere profits are rising to new and
and unprecedented heights.
IF THIS is SO and it is for these are of.
i fetal figures, how can we expect workers
to welcome the idea Of additional burdens,
additional sacrifice for the war effort while
industrialists are racking in their unprece-
dented profits? No wonder Green, Murray
and every other responsible labor leader calls
for the establishment of proper relations be-
tween wages and prices before a wage freeze
Is ordered.
Ordering a wage freeze at this time with
out additional wage increases for the workers
or, without rolling back prices to a level that
existed prior to the Korean situations
simply asking our working people to assume
a burden that is totally out of proportion with
whatever burdens industrialists and employ
ers will have to assume.

vJELL, FOLKS, II we only had a n
w full of these wayward citizens the
problem wouldn't be so acute. But there
are literally thousands and tens of thous-
ands of them right here in our own town,
our county; yes, hundreds of thousands of
them in our own state and literally mil
lions in our country.
There is no possible excuse for this
situation to exist.
People complain about taxes.
People complain about prices.
People complain about laws like the
Infamous Taft-Hartley Act that are de-
signed to curtail the constitutional rights
of our working people our union
members.
Many people complain about the con-
duct of our foreign policies followed by
our government in distant and strange
lands all over the world.
People look with horror upon the de-
veloping wal crisis in the world. People
are frightened at what is taking place in
Korea today and what may take place in
a dozen Koreas tomorrow or the day after.
0F COURSE, we have a right to COM
plain. We have a right to express our
opinions. We have a right - so sacred
and getting ever more scarce throughout
the world - to criticize our leaders in
government.
More, we even have a right to change
these leaders in times of elections and
replace them with people whom we have
more faith, more confidence in.
No people on earth can possibly ask
for more.
So, why don't we take advantage of
these rights? Why don't these wayward
citizens OF ours those who refuse to
register, those who refuse to cast ballots
In our elections - wake up and exercise
their sacred rights before such rights are
curtailed; before actions are taken by our

Clan GregOr And
Historical Group
Meet At Tavern

The Montgomery County His
torical Society was host Saturday
to members of the American Clan
Gregor Society at Great Falls
Tavern. About so attended. Clan
members included descendants of
Alexander MacGregor, who settled
in Prince George County in 1852.
T. Sutton Jet, special assistant
to the superintendent of National
Capital Parks showed the visitors
through the tavern and told them
its history, which dates to 1928.
The central portion of the tavern
was built by the Chesapeake &
Ohio Canal Co. as lock house.
II was enlarged in 1880 to fill the
need of tavern. After the canal
was abandoned, Mr.. Jett said, the
tavern was Unoccupied for many
years.
When the Government bought
the canal from the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad in 1888 the tavern
had almost crumbled away, The
Park Service has restored it and it
will be open to the public next
spring, Mr.. Jet said. One of the
rooms will be used as meeting
place by the Montgomery County
Historical Society. The society in
turnS will furnish the lock-
keepers section of the tavern in
4 manner typical of the period in
which the canal was in use.
Among those present at the
meeting were Douglas Neil Ma
gruder of Indianola, Miss, retiring
chieftan of the Clan. John Holmes
Magruder of Washington, newly
elected chieftan; Mrs. Lilly c.
Stone, founder of the Montgomery
County Historical Society, and
William Parkins, president of the
society, also attended.

All too often, Police Chief
Charles M. Orme said today in
connection with the Montgomery
County Safety Boards October
program of traffic safety educa-
ton, the two go hand-in-hand.
"In the back of the mind of prac-
tically every motorist," chief Orme
said, 'lies the knowledge that night
time is the time to drive care
fully. Unfortunately, this small
voice of common sense is neither
sufficiently loud nor persistent to
save thousands of thoughtless and
careless motorists each year"
Chief Orme cited the 1880 traf-
fic fatalities that occurred after
sun down in 1949 as proof of
darkness deadliness.
Although this figure represents
an increase over the number of
persons killed in daylight accidents
during the year., he said, "the
really significant factor lies in the
fact that the United States Bureau
of Public Roads estimates from
their studies that only about 81
per cent of the country's driving
is done during the hours of dark
ness. This would indicated that
the nighttime death rate is about
three times the day rate"

Board whose October program of
traffic safety education is being
conducted in Montgomery County
