More motor vehicles are used in the distribution of milk than any other commodity approxi mately 130,000 trucks are' usod'in delivering milk and dairy prod ucts from U. S. farms to plants and lrom.pl.viUi to consumers PROTECTION By CHARLES V. STANTON ' Is the rank and file of labor being LED or MISLED in the current wave of contagious disputes plaguing the coun try? Are the leaders who promote these uprisings seriously concerned in improving the condition of the worker or are they striving for political prestige and powpr? If they gain political control, which seems power be used to promote welfare of theicountry as a whole, or to destroy our system of free enterprise? These' are questions, we thought. ' , We should be concerned with should determine whether we domic of only semi-related labor disorders, or are victims of a deliberate uncj premeditated radical plot directed at the overthrow of our existing system of government through creation of confusion and chaos until, in our frantic desire for peace, we suriender authority to the radical minority, Labor is organized for the worker, improving his working conditions, raising his liv ing1 standards, ' and preventing capitalism. There is no question but the part of management, in tion of the worker for his own protection. Man's inhumanity to man was never demonstrated more forcibly than in the sweat shops, the child labor factories, the long hours and low pay which marked industrial and business conditions of a few years ago. We would be gullible indeed if we did not believe that such conditions would return were it not for the protection afforded by organized labor. But labor is in the saddle today and as long as it continues in its strength, there is little danger of a return to general exploitation. It is the responsibility of labor leaders to strive for im provement in the working and living standards, of the labor ing man. But what is the condition today? Our industrial machinery could be running at utmost ca pacity, furnishing jobs for everyone who wanted to work, producing prosperity and high standards of living. Instead, continued labor strife has slowed production to a walk and kept reconversion under slow bell. Workers have lost mil lions of dollars through enforced idleness during periods of strike millions that will require many months to replace even though wage increases tire obtained. Millions more are being lost through effects of current disputes upon all clas sifications of industry and business. Workers had accumu lated backlogs of savings through investment in war bonds. Many have been forced to draw on these savings to carry them through strike periods. Thus there has been lost money which would have prolonged prosperity by maintaining pro duction for a greater period of time. There would be less cause for criticism had the strikes been necessary to gain equitable concessions for the workers, but-such was not the case. We have had few strikes which could not have been averted by more prolonged negotiations. In our recent lumber strike, for instance, one of the factors delaying settlement was rivalry between two of the labor leaders. The automobile strike had as an issue rivalry be tween two of the outstanding chieftains. It is plainly obvi ous that the coal strike involves the political prestige of John L. Lewis to ah equal if not greater degree than the welfare of the miners. Are the workers to be made pawns in the game of politics played by their leaders? The place of labor in politics is rationalized by its leaders on the grounds that political control is a necessary part of protection. But the trend of today's movement is towards nationalization of industry and business, and history proves that socialization centralization of power, public ownership and regimentation is labor's greatest enemy. Subject to federal control, labor quickly would lose autonomy and would be reduced to virtual serfdom. history. Where, then, is labor being destruction, carrying with it free government? Is it being looks for protection? Proposed OPA Changes Criticized by Bowles WASHINGTON, May 2H (!) Chester Bowles, economic stabi lization director, said yesterday that changes in OI'A legislation by the Senate Hanking Commit tee were "even worse than the bill passed by the House." Bowles said the House measure trimming and extending OI'A powers "would have made the enntml of inflation flatly impos sible." Now, lie declared in a statement, the Senate commit tee, "has been quietly and effec tively cutting the heart out of price control."

Senator Morse Brands Truman As 'Ham Actor' WASHINGTON, May 18. UP) Senator Morse of Oregon told the Senate yesterday President Truman put on "one of the cheap est exhibitions of ham acting I haTO even seen" in announcing to a Joint session of congress Sat urday that the rail strike had ended. Morse broke Into a denuncia tion of the President's emergency legislation by Senator Downey (D., Calif.) to assort that it was known at the White House before noon Saturday that the rail strik ers were willing to go back to work on terms laid down by the President. He noted that Mr. Truman had interrupted his address, in which he urged speedy action on the emergency legislation, to an nounce settlement of the strike. "I think that was one of the cheapest exhibitions of ham act ing 1 have ever seen,"' Morse shouted. 1 There was a burst of handclap ping from spectators in crowded galleries and Senator Huffman (D., Ohio), then presiding officer, rapped loudly for order. Downey went ahead with his address but a few minutes later Senator Hatch ID., N. M.) got the floor to protest Morse's re marks. He demanded they be stricken from the record. Huffman anounced that the re marks would bs stricken "with out objection" but this was block ed by Morse who jumped up to protest. "If I can get the floor again I'll repeat them," Morse said. Hatch Defends Truman Hatch, a close friend of Mr. Truman when the latter served in the Senate, said: "I don't think any senators, re gardless of whatever hi party, has the right to call the President of the United States a ham actor." Hatch said he realized that ail senators are under great strain and likely to say and do things not intended. But, Hatch said, the strain upon the President is "one hundred times greater." Hatch added that it was his information that only "purely tentative offers" had been made prior to Mr. Truman's appear ance before congress. Morse later told reporters off the Senate floor that he had "definite Information from the brotherhoods" that they had de livered to President Truman's ad visers at the White House before noon Saturday their acceptance of the terms upon which the strike finally was .settled. Courts Can Ban Ouster of Tenant fending Appeal WASHINGTON, May 28. .f) The Supreme Court yesterday ruled federal courts can provont eviction ot tenants pending ap peals based on OPA rules. Justice Black delivered two unanimous opinions In deciding two 'similar cases. Justice Jack son took no part. ' The Justice Department ap pealed from the Sixth Federal Circuit Court at Cincinnati which said it had no jurisdiction to en join eviction proceedings in state courts. In one case the government contended llob?rt C. Beever was evicted Improperly from his apartment after the landlord be gan proceedings before a Cov ington, Ky., justice of the peace to regain possession. The U. S. Circuit Court said it could do nothing because at the time it considered the case the tenant had left the apartment. , The U. S. Circuit Court said It could do nothing because at the lime it considered the case the tenant had left the apartment. In the other case OPA had sought to restrain eviction of a tenant from a Columbus.

Justice Black said the circuit court was wrong in its finding that the Beever case was moot. "The bare fact that the Beev ers in order to-comply with the writ of possession vacated their apartment was not enough to end the controverys," Black said. In the Columbus case, Black said the OPA was not barred by a section of the federal judicial code from going into federal court to request an injunction halting "an unlawful eviction." Retail Prices of Dairy Products to Rise, Prediction WASHINGTON, Mai- 28. (P) The government is on the verge of lotting prices go up a cent a quart for milk and 10 to 12 cents a pound for butter. Disclosing this yesterday, offi cials who withheld use of their names, said also that cheese will cost about 5 cents a nound more. These officials, predicting an announcement in a day or so, cit ed two reasons for the decision to boost retail price ceilings: 1. Grain and feed price In creases earlier this month hik'jd dairy production costs. 2. Price stabilization officials have decided It would be futile to try to put through any new food subsidies in view of the opposition in Congress. On the basis of the latter point, previous plana for a dairy sub sidy increase July 1 are being withdrawn. This, officials said, will account for about half of the imminent price jumD. Bowles Changes Mind Six weeks ago Stabilization Di rector Bowles sharply rejected proposals to boost dairy product prices. He said such an increase would hit family food budgets hard and that he could not allow that. Later Bowles was persuaded to authorize grain nrice increases in a move to obtain more food for famine relief. He gave in when the agriculture deoartment con tended that bonu-. pavments granted for wheat and corn were not turning the trick. Bowles indicated on April 15 that there would be no dairy product price increases before Julv 1. What happened at that time, he said, depended on what Congress did about subsidies. He reportedly is convinced now that there will not be sufficient subsidy money available to con tinue present food payments. .:: rediscover the West with Chevron Supreme How to equip for - QMQMNB yf a trip to America's Alps x. dlZ, " x v.
