NO STAIN PRIZE
FOR PEACE GIVEN

Moscow (LPA)-Premier Joseph
Stains list birthday was cele-
hrated in the Soviet Union Dec. 21.
But the Stain peace prizes weren't
announced although it was expect
ed they would be awarded on that
date.
A year ago, it was decreed that
five to 10 prizes of 100000 rubles
would be given annually to persons
regardless of nationality who had
done the most for peace; 100000
rubles amount to $25,000 by Russ
ian evaluation. ed. note: Guess
Old Joe couldn't think of anybody
The birthday celebration was
marked by abundant praise of
Stain in the Soviet press. Said
Pravda: "The people love Stain
limitlessly."

VALENTE APPROVES
CONSUMER SURVEYS

New York UPA)-Anthony Val
ente, international president of the
United Textile Workers-AFL, says
workers are interested in consum-
er services because they are caught
in trap between high prices and
limited incomes.
Speaking before the Consumer
Clinic of the Conference Of the
American Standards Association,
Valente said that buyers need not
only information on performance,
but also on design because badly
designed articles wear out or break
too soon. He cautioned engineers
to describe the results Of their tests
in terms that can be understood
and warned that unless American
industry policies itself the Govern
ment will probably step in.

Small Business Group Is Big
Business Front, Probers Reveal

Washington (LPA)-The Confer
ence of American Small Business
Organizations (CASBO) is a front
for big business.
That was the gist of report on
CASBO submitted by the House
Select Committee on Lobbying Ac-
tivities. An analysis of CASBO re-
veals the following information:
CASBO is one of the 35 heaviest
spending lobbies in Washington.
CASBO purports to express "the
deliberated opinion of delegates
from organizations representing
260 different lines of industry in
48 states, representing an affiliated
membership of over 600,0O0 small
business concerns" but, according
to the lobby probers, CASBO is fire.
lquently interested in legislative
matters "in which big business as
such cannot come out in the open."
CASBO has a text book review
ing service which the Lobby prob
ers say is designed to impose the
CASBO viewpoint on the nations
schools and which "smacks too
much of the book-burning orgies of
Nuremburg to be accepted by
thoughtful Americans without fore
boding and alarm"
CASBO likes to cite a resolution
by the 80th Congress establishing
the right of small business to or
gainize and to imply that it's or
ganized under the resolution. Saw
the lobby Investigators, "CASBO
wrapped this resolution around it
| self like a custom-made cape"
Nevertheless, CASBO "streches"
the concept of small business and
objected to the standards for a
small business set by President
Truman under the Congressional
resolution. (The standards: manu-
Featuring plants with fewer than
100 employees; wholesale firms with
annual sales of less than $500,000;
retail firms, amusement firms, con-
struction companies or other bus
inesses with annual sales of less
than $100,000.l
Under the Lobby Registration
Act of 1916, all contributions of
$500 or more must be listed and
the donors must be named. Accord
ing to the Lobbying Committee,
CASBO encourages contributions of
$499 or less. Moreover, "by having
large concerns buy memberships
for their officers and branch man
ayers (whose associations are not
reported) and by other means,
CASIO avoids making full disclos-
ure of its sources of support"
Meanwhile, CASBO gets finan-
cial support "from interests that
do not fit any reasonable concept
of small business" Among these
interests" are such firms as Acme
Steel with assets totaling more
than 32,000,000) and Household
Finance Corp. with assets exceed
ing 1921, ,O0O,OOO).

rely upon the decisions of indus

serving on government boards, in
dealing with specific price and
wage cases. By that means, the
people affected by the decisions
will be assured of just considera-
tion of their difficulties and be
much more willing to accept the
outcome.
Says Coercion Not Needed
THE leaders of every group in
our economic life realize that the
time has come to put the national
interest above selfish interest. A
remarkable spirit of national unity
is developing in our country. That
is the strongest asset we have in
coping with a national emergency.
The government should encourage
that spirit of national unity and
put it to work for the success of
the defense program. There is no
need Of cracking the whip over the
American people. Just tell us what
has to be done and we will see to
it that it is DONE"

another Cloquet farmer with a
small herd of cows, Banks has turn
ed to trade unionism and minimum
wages" for a solution.
There are three major dairies in
this area-two co-ops and an indie
pendent. When the farmers start
ed drive for a Ascent per cwt
increase the dairies turned thumbs
down. Finally one coop, Arrow
head, went for the as cents, plus
another as cents due in January.
Bridgeman- Russell, the independ-
ent, refused until a one-day strike
brought them around and two
day strike at Twin Ports Coop
swung them into line. The increase
so far amounts to only 2/3 cent per
quart and it has not been passed
onto consumers.
The milk companies insisted that
bargaining" on price Of milk
would remove Federal guarantees,
but Banks and a group of small
milk producers journeyed to Wash
ington and got the promise of Sec
retary of Agriculture Brannan
that he would not remove the min
imums.
eve prefer to look at the Fed
eral guarantees in much the same
manner that working men look at
the Federal minimum wage law"
Banks said. "We want those prices
only as a floor when things get
rough, but we do not want them to
act as a bar to negotiations"
There are now about 1900 small
farmers organized in this area, but
the movement toward organization
is growing in New York, Pennsy-
lvania, New Jersey, Minnesota and
Louisiana.
H. l.. Mitchell, NFLU president,
admits he's no expert on dairy pro-
blems, but points out that he didn't
go after the farmers-they came
to him. The first groups started in|
Louisiana i'm 1916 when farmers
New Orleans began to
be squeezed by out-of- state milk
The AFL Teamsters took in about
a 1000 of these farmers who decid-
ed they wanted a labor union. Theyl
struck, turned back trucks, freight
trains, and GO went to jail-but
they won their strike and have
since turned into a fairly peaceable
group owning a $4,000 milk plant
which handles half the milk they
produce.
The fever for unionism next
broke out in Butler county, Pennsy-
Ivania, when farmers noticed that
union men in nearby Pittsburgh.
where their product was consumed,
were well-paid. Led by one of the
top producers in the county, j. r
Ray" Simpson, the farmers turn
I'd to the AFL for help.
Farmers in many other states
are turning. more and more to the
abor movement. They meet with
other labor groups, discuss their
problems on a trade-union basis.
Its amazing, SAYS Banks,
how things have changed. Why |
1ne old farmer who used to turn
white at the mention of union
stopped me the other day on the
street and said, Anytime you don't
want me to ship my milk-just you
ell me, won't nary drop leave

Freezing Of Pay Blow At Production
If Living Costs Are Permitted To Rise

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). =
In a radio broadcast which charged
labor has not been given an ade-
quate voice in the defense program,
George Meany, AFL secretary
treasurer, declared that a wage
freeze would injure production if
living costs are permitted to keep
going up.
Meany called upon the govern
ment to accord labor equal repre-
sentation with industry and agri-
culture in the defense program at
the policy-making and decision
making levels. Thus far, he declar-
ed, the government has failed to do
so.
Pledging labor's full support to
defense mobilization, Meany said
1--WE can yet save the peace" if
America can build up "such obvious
military superiority that even the
communists will realize that war
against US would be hopeless" He
added:
"The American Federation Of
Labor has been urging such a de-
fense program for years. | am glad
to see that our nation is at last
undertaking ii"
Asks Amendment of Law
To make the defense program a
success, Meany recommended:
81 think the first and most basic
step is to establish sound and
practical working economy for the
emergency period. Prices and rents
must be controlled effectively. That
is impossible under the law passed
by Congress a few months ago. 1t
should be amended promptly to in
sure that the cost of living is
firmly stabilized on a fair and just
basis to both producers and con
sumers. When that is done, it will
be possible to stabilize wages also.
"Organized labor has volun-
teeredF to accept wage stabil-
iZation for the duration Of the
emergency if the cost of living
is kept on an even keel. But if
wages are frozen while prices
are permitted to rise, it will
only weaken the army of pro-
duction and provoke all kinds
of needless trouble"
"This is a vexing problem. No
one likes controls, least Of all labor.
But we have to use common sense.
In national emergency we are all
forced to abandon the methods Of
business-as-usual and politics-as-
usual. would like to emphasize
one very important factor regard
ing the administration of controls.
Urges Voluntary Methods
at may sound very impressive
and electrifying for a government
official to issue sweeping price
freeze and wage-freeze orders, but
that is not the practical way of
dealing with this problem. The de
cisions should be made by those
who know the score, by the repre-
sentatives of business, labor and
agriculture who understand the
problem and are willing to help
the government solve it. Up to the
present time the government has
denied labor a voice in making
policy and in making decisions in
the defense program
"ln free country like ours, vol
untary compliance is far more eff
fective than compulsion. WithinI
the framework of a practical gen
eral policy and under an effective
control law, the government should

want peace and the opportunity
that peace affords for new pro
gress. But if we are compelled by
circumstances beyond our control
to wage another war, we are deter
mined to let nothing stand in the
way of victory-victory that will
mean not only a better America,
but better and more peaceful
world in our time.

1uomey Explains How
To Keep Garden Tools
In Working Condition
By Douglas Tuomey

Practically all the tools used
In gardening or ground keeping,
with the exception of the rake, are
cutting tools. Turf-edger, Weed-
scraper. spade. sickle, ships and
hedge-cutters are all supposed to
be sharp and usually are fairly
sharp when new.
Use and neglect gradually re-
duce the edge until the turf-edger
crumbles down the sod instead of
slicing through 1t, and weeds bow
before the sickle and weeder in
stead Of being cut by them.
Digging is hard work with the
blunt spade, and roots are too
tough for rounded edge. The jobs
that should take half-hour con-
sumo double that length of time
and are not neat and clean-cut
when finished. All the chores that
must be done to keep the country
place in shape are tiresome when
the tools are dull.
Garden tools do not need a fine,
razor sharp edge. AS a matter of
fact, that kind of an edge would
not last long on them, because it
would nick and break. The right
kind Of an edge is a raw, sharp,
cutting edge.
To produce the proper edge on
garden tools, one needs an 8-inch,
fiat. semifine file and an ordinary
emery stone. The tool to be sharp
ened is set in wise or laid fiat
on bench or table and the edge
filed down to a raw edge.
Both sides of the blade are done
evenly. The sickle and the hedge
clipper are honed with the emery
stone and not filed like the
rougher tools. This is done by
wetting the stone frequently and
passing It over the edge with a
pushing motion.
