XLhc 4 THE Truths Pondered While 'Then gently scan your brother man"- -By Mr. Modestus Raindi'ops are fine— Bubbling springs are a beauty to behold—• Brooks that babble, and rivers that run, are blessings—• But when raindrops multiply, brooks rush, and rivers begin to roar— The water that was beneficient can become a raging torrent— Devastating, terrifying, destruc tive, full of curse— In 1914, before World War I, Total national production was about $21.3 billions— In 1919 total production was about |48.5 billions— Exports in 1914 were 9.7 per cent of total in 1919,16 per cent— By 1929 total national production was about $52.8 billions— While exports had dropped again to about 9.8 per cent of total— Per capita production 3riesmera($nmCo.

Engineers studied the Ohio River Valley, and laid out flood controls— Destruction in Tennessee River Valley, lands is being changed— Into Controlled Power, helping to feed, to clothe, to house— The men and women who were formerly victims of wild forces raging— By what new technique of engineer ing, by what genius of management— Will this unheard of, unparalled rush of commodities be controlled LaVerne J. Knox, 1008 Hughes St. John Focht, Jr., Cincinnati. It will take more than tinkering— Machine-gun production has been doubled in the same man-hours— Processes formerly using 40 men are now accomplished by five men— Diesel engines of same horsepower weigh one-fifth, take one-third space— Magnesium production capacity will more than double that of alumi num in 1939—- High-pressure ammoonia plastics will equal discovery of a new conti nent— You cannot put this new wine in the old bottles— Old techniques of economic control will not fit these forces— Properly directed, they will create new sources of human happiness— If confined within old pipes of monopoly and selfish greed— They will develop explosive quali ties, destructive again— It is not the "radicals" who are to be feared in reconstruction— But those who refuse to see new forces and new sources of power— May bring catastrophe by trying to stop world-growth.

COAL FROM THE ANDERSON- SHAFFER COMPANY DELIVERED BY Union Drivers GIVE US A TRIAL You Will Be Satisfied! Phones 47 and 160 IJTTLE CHANGE MADE THIS YEAR IN STATES' LABOR LEGISLATION Washington, D. C. (ILNS).—A "Di gest of State and Federal Labor Legislation Enacted July 1, 1941, to August 1, 1942," is now available from the Division of Labor Standards, U. S. Department of Labor, as Bulletin No. 51. The publication summarizes the text of labor laws enacted by the 48 state legislatures which were in ses sion in 1942, as well as by Puerto Rico, and by Congress. The legislative year 1942 brought little change in state labor legislation. Few advances were made and few backward steps were taken. The effect of the war emergency was evidenced in some legislation designed to per mit flexibility in existing labor laws to meet the requirements of maximum war production. Many bills which would have lowered labor standards failed of passage. Louisiana and Puerto Rico revised their child-labor laws, establishing a basic minimum age of 16 for employ ment, requiring employment certifi cates up to 18 years of age, and rais ing hours of labor standards. New York strengthened its industrial home-work law. Workmen's compensation amend ments were considered by practically all the legislatures. Virginia amended its act to extent the coverage from employers of 11 or more to employers of seven or more, and increased the level of benefits.
