Ralph Brewster of Maine recently telephoned hard- working Assistant Secretary of La- bor Carl Moran, also from Maine, but a Democrat. ‘Portland is among the nine dis- tress cities of the country,” Sena- tor Brewster reminded Moran. ‘‘As you know, Portland shipyard work- ers have been dismissed from their jobs wholesale, Meanwhile, farmers up in Aroostook county can't get | anyone to bring in their potatoes. What can you do about it?" “What are they paying for farm labor in Aroostook county,” asked the assistant secretary of labor; “still four cents?” “No,” replied the senator from Maine, “There's a guaranteed wage of $12 a day.” Assistant Secretary Moran said he would do his best to switch some workers up to the potato farms. However, he might well have re- plied that the labor department was that in name only and that it actually had almost nothing to do with labor. For the fact is that, under Miss Perkins, the labor depart- ment was stripped of most of its labor duties. The War Labor board is separate and independ- ent, and, most important of all, the U. S. employment service is under the War Manpower com- mission. Thus, Assistant Secre- tary of Labor Moran had to turn to an outside agency, the U. S. employment service, to try to get discharged shipyard work- ers to help harvest the Aroos- took potato crop. This, in turn, has brought out an- day evening. It is believed that two | : ae OE threw a bottle in a | don't want to go back to the farm | fire and the bottle exploded, hit- | | ting the child in the eye. He was | removed immediately to Altoona | | Mr. and Mrs. John Heran of Mel- | other difficulty affecting not mere- received a serious injury | ly Maine but the entire nation. Most war workers, drawing $1 to $2 an hour plus overtime and bonuses, and farm wages. The labor short- age on the farms, even after V-J Day, is as acute as ever. Farm wages are higher than ever, though still a long way from shipyard and aviation factory pay. So, somehow or other, either farm wages must go up, or war workers must go back to less money on the farm. In the former case, the farm- ers will have to get more for their crops, which, of course, means a higher cost of living in the city. Ambassadors’ Wives. Last week this column reported that Mrs. Ed Pauley, wife of the U. S. reparations ambassador to Moscow and former treasurer of the Democratic national committee, was listed to receive $25 a day ex- penses while accompanying her husband to Russia. Since then, I have received further information that Mrs. Pauley, although listed by the state department as an official member of the party, declined to accept the $25 per diem. However, I still believe it a highly debatable point, when a million or so G.L.s are not per- mitted to have their wives come abroad, that American higher- ups should take their wives with good pro- | 10. Midweek | them to overseas war areas. After all, the average American soldier now occupying Germany or Japan has not seen his wife for more than a year. When the Pauley reparations mis- sion arrived in western Europe, the party was split up, because of lim- ited accommodations One group, including some of the best experts on reparations, | told to remain in Frankfurt, | many, Ger- | Pauley, despite limited accommo- | dations, went on to Moscow. | Later, she also visited Potsdam | for the Big Three session. She was | the only American { Mrs. Truman and Mrs. Byrnes, wife of the secretary of state, re- | mained at home. And during the last session of the Big Three, Mrs. Pauley sat in the gallery, a priv- ileged witness to the historic cere- perts who had spent weeks prepar- ing for this big climax and who had burned midnight oil whipping the agreement into shape, wére barred | from seeing the windup. NOTE—On August 4, this column | reported that the office of war in- wiki | formation had given Mrs. R. A. Mc- | | ciety of Christian Service will meet | : Clure, wife of General McClure, a | privileged job as receptionist in | OWI's Paris office, thus permitting her to be near her husband in Ger- many. Immediately after publica- tion of this disclosure, the OWI re- ceived an order from the White House for Mrs. McClure to come | back to the United States. The shortening of the congres- | sional recess, which was to last until October 8, has forced several congressmen to look for temporary lodgings in Washington, They had | leased their homes for the antici- | pated recess period.
