Johns Manville Company.
Charles +. Electric Charlie"
Wilson, former president Of Cen
eral Electric and now overall dir
ector Of defense mobilization, was
reported TO be deeply concerned
over food prices. He took up the
problem with Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Brannan on Feb. 7 and was
expected to confer with Johnston
and Mike Disable, head of ESA's
Office Of Price Sterilization, in an
effort to find a way TO hold food
prices-and the price of raw cotton
down. (Under the Defense Pro
duction Act farm prices can't be
controlled unless they're above
"parity.O
But the next day when he ap-
peared before the Senate Banking
Committee he insisted that all
questions about food prices be re-
ferred to Disable, according to Sen.
Burnett Maybank Cd, S. c., com
mittee chairman, who relayed Will
sons testimony to the press. Will
son spent his time before the com
mittee discussing ALLEGATION of in
dustrial raw materials and his
ideas on manpower. (Wilson's
views on manpower have been at
sharp variance with labor's.) But
within a few days he was expected
to ask for Congressional action on
food costs.
Whatever happened to food
prices and prices in general, con-
sumers could look forward to
shrinking production of automo-
biles and other steel-consuming
items that make the American
standard of living the worlds high
est. High officials Of the National
Production Authority met with
spokesmen for the automobile in
dustry Feb. 8 and the story went
that within a week or so the pro-
duction rate Of cars would be cut
drastically-perhaps by as much as
40 percent-so that steel can be di-
verted to defense orders.
Meanwhile, Mike Disable was
preparing a meat-control order de-
signed to forestall black-marketing
and brand new price control order
which would limit profit markups.

them the editors concept of labor
daily.
1t "is not a substitute for the
daily newspaper of general circu-
lation any more than the Wall
Street Journal is a business execu-
tive's substitute for other news
papers," it explained. at is sup
Elemental source of information in
which general news is treated only
in capsule form.
National and international news
of particular interest to labor would
be presented from labor's view
point. Experts in the field of econ
omics and politics would interpret
and analyze news developments in
labor terms. The activities of gov
ernment at all levels and in all
areas that affect labor would be re-
ported in detail-sufficient to pro-
vide a substitute for various week
ly and daily reporting services
now largely patronized by trade
unions for lack of other sources.
"The general news of labor from
every state in the union and from
the nations throughout the world
where free trade unions exist would
be covered thoroughly"
In addition to the Pittsburgh re-
port, the sample edition carried
Washington news on wage and
price stabilization, with text OF
the first wage regulations. 1t had
check list of national and inter-
national news, articles on farm
labor and on various unions, news
story from the AFL executive
council meeting in Miami, strike
news from various parts of the
country.
Also a department of reports
from the National Labor Relations
Board, news of civic activities by
unions in a number of communities,
a number of stories on foreign
labor, reports on legislative actlv-
tiles in the states, news pictures,
charts and cartoons, and depart
ment on recent developments in
labor education.
The editors emphasized that a
labor daily on a regular basis would
include further special depart
ments, such as sports, radio and
movies.
A review of local labor dailies
that have appeared in the past
mentioned the Milwaukee Leader,
Minneapolis Star, New York Call,
Seattle Union Record, Oklahoma
Leader, Chicago Daily Socialist
(later the World) and number OF
others.
Of these, the longest life was
enjoyed by the Milwaukee Leader,
started in 1911 by the Socialist
party of Milwaukee and later taken
over by the AFL Federated Trades
Council. The Leader, which at one
point had the second largest cir
culation of the seven dailies in
town, died in 1889.
The editors estimate that 25,OOO
annual subscriptions at $40 each
would launch such a paper, without
subsidy and without advertising
revenue. They invite anyone who is
interested to write.

Textile Workers
To Press Demands
For Wage Increase

New York LPA) - Denouncing
the present absurd price-control
law" the national cotton-rayon
committee of the Textile Workers
has announced it will press de-
mands for the wage-and-pension
program it adopted last December.
The attack was given added
weight because Emil Rieve, TWUA
general president, is one Of the
three labor members Of the nine
man Wage Sterilization Board and
administrative chairman of the
Economic Policy Committee.
The resolution was passed after
the cotton-rayon committee dis
cussed the progress of wage nego-
tiations with $50 mills employing
200, 900 workers. The union is ask
ing a II percent general increase,
uniform job rates throughout the
industry, company-paid pensions Of
at least 800 a month including
Social Security, a cost-of-living
escalator clause, and an annual i'm
provement factor Of seven percent.
The resolution said farmers, in
dustrialists, bankers and merchants
have been assured maximum prices
and maximum profits but that big
business chiefs in charge Of mobili
cation are not giving consideration
to workers.
1t pointed to price increases of
40 percent since Korea in cotton
goods while workers wage are
frozen. The resolution said "the
present absurd price control law
guarantees the employers against
any drop in their profit margins.
And these are ample to meet our
proposals without increa easing
prices" j"
Rapping the Office Of Price
Sterilization move to "unfreeze"
the prices of apparel, the commit
tee said the Cotton Exchange has
been on strike since Jan. 27 against
price control.
No cotton has been sold by mer-
chants or shippers since then in
protest against Government regu-
lations, but, says the resolution,
"This strike has somehow escaped
denunciation by President Truman,
Charles +. Wilson, the nations
press and radio, and appears to be
on the verge of success. Coupled
with markup guarantees at all
levels, it will make joke of price
control in cotton textiles"
Cotton-rayon workers earn 30
cents below the average for all in
dustry and yet the way is closed
to them by the freeze" for adjust
ment, according to the committee
which resolved % mot to tolerate"

Chamber Committee Investigating Closing Nome Land Office

The matter of the closing of the land office here is under spe- cial investigation by a special committee of the Chamber of Commerce.
 A protest has been sent to Delegate Bartlett and other de- partmental heads, urging that the decision of the department be set aside.
 Ken KadoW of the U. 5. Tin Mines told the committee yester- day "In my opinion the Land Office in Nome is a fundamental and necessary tool to land and re- source development of this area. The civilian economy of the Sec ond Division has been and still is largely mining. All mining work involves extensive contact with the Land Office. The U. s. Tin Corporation will assist in every way possible to obtain a full understanding of these facts by the proper officials with the aim of retaining the Nome Land Office"

Truman Says
 Jap Peace Treaty Will Be Signed
By D. HAROLD OLIVER

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16, (P)- President Truman said today there are plenty people ambitious to be president, but they don't know what they are getting into.
 That was his latest comment on presidential possibilities for 1852, almost a year before the nominat- ing conventions. He didn't name anyone.
 At the same time, he admon- ished reporters that they are working politics to the vanishing point when there are plenty of other things more important to talk about.
 The President said the Japanese peace treaty will be signed and he does not think the signing ar arrangements can be upset by any body. This was in reply to a question whether he believes Russia's decision to attend the San Francisco treaty ceremony next month would damage" such ar engagements.
 Asked about reports that Gen. Douglas Macarthur would attend and speak at the treaty signing, he said he did not know but the deposed Pacific commander would be welcome.

Indications Are Communists Ready To Compromise

MUNSAN, Korea, (P)-A four man subcommittee tackled the Korean buffer zone deadlock to- day amid official indications the communists are ready to compro- mise.
 The subcommittee declined to comment on what happened in their first SeSSion-held in an un- usual air of informality for Kor can truce talks.
 When they adjourned, United Nations and communist delegates posed together for the first time.
 While posing, Maj. Gen. Henry I. Hodes, one of the LIN. repre- sentatives, put his arm around North Korean Maj. Gen. Lee Sang Cho.
 While they were negotiating be- hind closed doors, their discus sions were broken at times by outbursts of laughter.
 The informal attitude-a com plete reversal of the cold military formality of all full delegation meetings-strengthened an air of hopefullness brought to Kaesong by a Red broadcast.
 The Peiping radio quoted the chief communist negotiator as say ing "It is possible to adjust" the Red demand for a demarcation line along the 38th parallel "on the basis of terrain and mutual defense"
