That they are simply fighting big business in the form of the milk trust. Three things are being attempted by this expansive District 50 of the United Mine Workers union. They are organizing first, the dairy workers; second, the country truckers (who carry the milk and other supplies to market) and, third, such farm owners as will join. e Remedial Legislation Sought I have talked with District 50 headquarters of the UMW; I have talked with members of the department of agriculture; I have talked with a former dairy farmer no longer on the farm; I have talked with a member of one of the farm groups which have held a series of meetings here in Washington who are seeking "remedial legislation to cure the ills of the union move- ment. At District 50 they merely say the movement is a great success: that 33 district leaders representing 10 states who met here in Washington to plan their intensive campaign are enthusiastic. I was told that already 30,000 dairy farmers or farm workers had been signed up. That headquarters was getting inquiries at the rate of a thousand a week. Members of the department of agriculture are staying out of this whole business officially. But most of them have farm backgrounds themselves and I imagine they dont feel very differently from other farmers who are not directly affected. The ones who look on the thing as a theory rather than a fact and it still is a theory at this -- writing. And these farmers simply say: well, farmers and workers just never seem to be able to woik together. They look at things differently. And this applies to farm help as well as farm owners.

Vice President Wallace was put at its head. That is about all most people heard about it until Rep. Martin Dies charged that a number of communists and one nudist worked for it. The nudist proved to be a solemn economist who once wrote a book on that intriguing subject which a high court said was scientific and unobjectionable even if the pictures were a little bit Police Gazettish. Then suddenly came a sweeping order which turned over to these gentlemen, who had been working without any publicity, complete power over raw materials. Just preceding this order Secretary Jesse Jones of the department of commerce who had a great deal to do with raw materials was questioned sharply in congress as to just what his progress had been. The gist of the order was that the Board of Economic Warfare had the complete say as to what raw materials were acquired by this country, how they were to be acquired and what essential materials, raw or otherwise (excluding guns, munitions and planes) went out of the country. The policy of the acquisition of raw materials is not, however, based entirely on what we need. It is partly based on what tire Axis powers need. And so these materials will be bought, begged or seized whenever and wherever necessary, to keep them out of enemy hands. For want of a nail the shoe was lost, for want of a shoe the horse was lost, for want of a horse well, you know what happened. For want of oil, or magnesium or aluminum, or rubber, the most powerful armies can fail. And so we have at last consolidated under one head, in one compact body, the effort which is just as important as tire effort of men and guns and planes and ships. The Board of Economic Warfare is on the warpath. Example of Capital Conservation tune ago there was a tones. The public printer told the gressional hearing on waste.

If he keeps on forgetting about them he is soon without rubber on his tires. Checkup by Experienced Operators. It is possible that more motorists are going to maintenance stations to have their tires checked than ever before. (This incidentally, is one of the essential DOs.) Motorists there will learn that their tires are unsafe (alas!) if the fabric, breaker strip, or outer body ply is exposed. Also that if the tire has cuts or snags greater than an inch in any direction and deep enough to expose body fabric, it is then in the unsafe condition. Furthermore, if the tire has a bulge it is dangerous to use, for patches or boots are not sufficient protection. Then, too, another way to learn if the tires are unsafe Is either to look over the wheel and tire yourself, or have the garage attendant see if bolts, nut or lug are bent, cracked, or if the rim or wheel flange is defective. Then after you have made sure that your tires and wheels are OK, your next best procedure Is to get yourself in the habit of using war time driving rules to conserve your tires as long as possible. Here is a list of rules, compiled You, of by the safety counciL course, can add to them. CHART 2. TESTS ON CONCRETE er. Yet the average gain in But the time will soon you will be thinking about having your tires recapped or retreaded. If you are one of those fortunate persons whose application was approved by your local tire rationing board, then a few suggestions may prove valuable. Recapping, which is vulcanizing a tread surface onto a partially remaining tread, and retreading, which means stripping old tread off the tire and replacing it with a new tread and vulcanizing onto the casing, is done with the greatest of economy and safety when the following rules are remembered: Use only tire cases which have no cracks, punctures or flaws. Recap tires that are not worn through to the cords of the casing. Don't allow anyone to recap or retread your tires unless he can meet a high standard of workmanas possible. come when speed was only 15 miles an hour, as the faster driver had to slow down more frequently, and with greater abruptness. Oil consumption increases at an even greater rate than gasoline conwhen the speed was sumption stepped up to more than 35 miles per hour. Almost four times as much oil is used at 65 m.p.h. than at a top cruising speed. The difference is even greater when a car is equipped with an oil filter. If you want to be a safe driver and also conserve gas, oil, tires, besides lives of other motorists and pedestrians, remember these few rules for driving today: Start early on each trip so you can get to your destination without using excessive speed. Drive at a moderate speed suited to the conditions of the highway on which you are traveling. Dont pass any more cars than the number you observe passing you. Speed up gradually, but shift from one gear to another as quickly as Slow down gradually. possible. Warm up the motor before driving . . . reduce speeds on grades . . . against headwinds . . . and keep your car tuned up for greatest economy. Be smart by being thrifty with gas, oil, and automotive material. ship.

Service, 1343 H Street, N-Washington, D. C. e John Llewellyn Lewis, American labor czar, still head of the powerful United Mine Workers union but otherwise pretty much of a lone wolf, is trying to unite the farmers and miners in one big union, controlling all that rests beneath the earth and all that blooms above it A sort of marriage of the pick-ax- e and the milk pail. Both honorable emblems but never seen in the same shield before. Alot of dairymen in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Michigan and Minnesota are pretty much excited about it They say that the attempt to organize the United Dairy Farmers division of the United Mine Workers is threatening the safety of the nation, to say nothing of their own safety and their own property. Some of them are worried enough to incorporate as the Free Farmers, Inc. and subscribe money to fight to the end against Mr. Lewis efforts. A number of the leading farm organizations thought enough of the matter to hold a series of meetings to discuss it in Washington and to prepare to testify before a congressional committee on the matter.
