He says: “It is nething but plain ‘strike’ in which the beef producers are en- gaged . . . But so can consumers strike . . . Just let the farme:s watch their cattle sit on their rump sieaks and we ean sit on ours . . . If we quit buying long enough, maybe they'll ask us to drop in and get a steak like grandpappy used . 10 eat at a price closer to what pap- py used to pay.” oo 60 Elsewhere in The Bulletin it may be seen that Uncle Sam bought 2,750,000 pounds of Lancaster Co. tobacco under the price support plan. Now, if that purchase can be sold at cost, evéerybod® gets a break. But, if it pans out like the wheaf, corn, eggs, potatoes and other farm crops purchased under the same plan, the farmers who received the money, plus the tax payers, must make up the loss.® As to whether or not its a wise move, we'll let you decide. oo 09 2 AND 2 STILL MAKE 4 Toward the end of May, a long- standing labor dispute between the Brotherhood of tled. It is estimated that the new contract will cost the railroads an | additional $97.000600 a year in| wages. Negotiations are still being con- | ducted with other railroad unions. All in all, according to the best forecasts, the railroad payroll is due te rise by “several hundred | of millions annually. In addiion to these greatly in- creased wage costs, everything that the railroads must buy is more ex- | pensive than it used to be. In many instances the cost of supplies have doubled and then seme in 10 years. | The increases in railroad freight and other charges that have heen] aliewed have compensated only in] part for the rise in eperating costs. Here is why the railroads have! found it necessary to ask the In-| terstate Commerce Commission for | a general 15 percent increase in front rates. In the words of the | Wall Street Journal, “Somebody will have to pay for peace on the railroads. The railroad companies have no bettomless purse.” Present railroad earnings are completely insufficient to meet present-day costs, to pay for the great expan- | sion and betterment program that is needed, and to return people who have invested their savings in the railroads anything | courtesy and Marine Corps history. | 8,230 lbs. resembling a fair return.

Not until that charge is met in full, can any other debtor get all or any | part of what he has coming. | These facts are as obvions as day | and night—and that’s one | we rarely think of them, All other | | kinds of obligations may be defer- ved, the owners may get nothing | on their investment—but the weork- | er is always paid in full, This is as it should be. The old suying that the laborer is worthy of { his hire has literally found its re- { flection in the law and in universal reason business practice. It is indicative | of the place that labor holds free | enterpr ise system under a repre- of government. In most businesses, the payroll is the | largest single item of expense aside | from the purchase of materials and supplies—and much of the money | for those requirements winds up in| | pay envelopes all over the country. Labor in America more meney than labor anywhere else.

Americans bought it with the price | of their lives in the Revolution and | | many more have died since to pre-| serve it. It is written into the Con- | stitution and into the hearts of the | American people. Americans will never | the value of independence, but it is | tine for all of us to weigh the pr ice| we pay each year just to celebrate it. | Last year, when the Fourth of July previded a four-day week- | end holiday for many persons, the | accident death toll hit an all-time | high of 793. Traffic accidents alone | took 491 lives. Other miscellaneous | accidents, such as drowning and) fire, claimed 302. The calendar year, since the Feurth falls in mid- week, bringing only a one-day | holiday for most persons. But cv-| en so this annual celebration of our | national independence will bring | tragedy and death to many Ameri- | cans. The traffic accident death toll is| up 16 per cent this year. Add to| that heavy travel and recreational | activity of a holiday and the Fourth | question | will save lives this remains on the nation’s danger day | list. With traffic accident deaths now | numbering more than 971,000—and the millionth expected in December, according to the Nation- | al Safety Council—it is time for] Americans to apply voluntary con- | tiels to accidents. Since the invention of the mobile, the number of Americans | killed in traffic accidents is nearly | twice the number of patriots killed | in all the nation’s wars. | | The Constitution guarantees ev- | | ery man liberty and independence. | [In America no one questions any- | tome’s right to go wherever he pleas- | es to celebrate Independence Day, | | | victim anto- | | or any other holiday, but level- | headed Americans are questioning | the r right of a minority to endang- | er the lives of the majority. The police alone cannot curb ac- | | cidents without the whole-hearted | | Support of the nation’s motorists— the very people whose lives are at | stake, There is much talk teday about | preserving the American way of life. If we are to preserve Ameri- can lives we must set up voluntary | | controls over carelessness. ‘Those In Service Parris Island, : Cc, — Mains | | Pfe. Frank S. Nolt, son of Mr. and | Mrs. Frank S.
