HOW TO BEAT INFLATION
Don't let's go off the deep end
again. Don't let's spend foolishly, for
getting that the wages we're making
now may not last forever, and bring
ing about inflation just as we did in
the first World War.
Let's hold down the cost of living
this time! By saving our money. By
buying war bonds and building a nest
egg. By buying only what we abso
lutely need. By obeying the price ceil
ings. Remember the terrible '30's!
Are you going to let your soldier
lad come home to a country where a
cup of coffee costs a quarter and a
hamburger costs a dollar That would
be what inflation means: simply, a
great and disorderly rise in the cost
of living. Don't let it happen!
Save your cash now.
Buy war bonds.
Refuse to bid up prices.
Pay off old debts.

WAR ON HOME FRONT NOT WON
Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant, 3rd, Chief of
the Protection Branch, U. S. Office of
Civilian Defense, explaining over the
radio the "widely misunderstood", or
der ending practice blackouts except
in coastal areas emphasized a fact
that some may not realize. He said:
"The war on the home front is not
won and we are relaxing air raid
drills for that very reason. We know
that if it is to be won, as soon as pos
sible, we must apply every ounce of
effort and every available moment to
the war program, to production of the
muntions and supplies needed by the
armed forces in their offensive effort.
"We must leave the relative secur
ity of our well-defended lines and go
into hard-hitting, aggressive action.
We must do this, not only on the bat
tlefront, but on the home front as
well."

"In the new world society we must

Last Depression Payment
Butler County has closed the books
on the depression era with the liqui
dation of the last of the $594,000 in
emergency relief bonds issued in that
period, R. H. Smith, County Auditor,
announced Monday.
The final payment of $34,200 was
made through the Auditor's office
from funds earmarked for that pur
pose. Other portions of the indebted
ness were retired over a period of
years since unemployment ceased to
be a problem.
Smith said money for the bond re
tirement had been obtained from the
utility excise taxes and other pro
visions made through legislation
adopted in the depression years.

UNION MEMBERS
URGED TO REGISTER
With an announced goal of register
ing every labor union member to vote
in the 1944 elections, all branches of
Ohio organized labor ai*e working to
gether on a broad political front, it
was announced Tuesday by a policy
making committee representing nine
state labor organizations.
The move marks the first time all
branches of Ohio Labor have joined
together in such a manner. The or
ganizations represented are Ohio
State Federation of Labor, Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, Broth
erhood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen, Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, Order of Railway Conduc
tors, Ohio C.I.O. Council, Ohio Typo
graphical Conference, United Mine
Workers of Ohio, and Ohio Brewery
Workers. The latter three are not af
filiated with the major labor organi
zation.
Phil Hannah, Secretary, and M.
Lyden, President represented the
Ohio State Federation of Labor within
the group. In a statement issued Tues
day, the group declared that "the elec
tions of 1944 are fraught with deeper
and weightier consequences than any
previous elections in our time."
"The kind of post-war world we
shall live in hangs in the balance," the
statement continues, "and employ
ment, job security, living standards,
education, social security, collective
bargaining all are heavily depend
ent upon the results of this year's
elections.
"Therefore, it is of paramount im
portance that all Labor Unions bend
every effort to register all members
for voting in 1944.
"Workers are aware that a reac
tionary Congress and an unprogres
sive State Legislature can sabotage
the legitimate aspirations of the com
mon people of the nation. Workers
know that a big-business-minded gov
ernment can mean unemployment, low
wages, devasted living conditions, and
smashed Unions.
"In recognition of these high stakes
involved in the coming elections, we
urge full participation in legislative
action by organized Labor in Ohio. It
is our firm conviction that only
through complete utilization of La
bor's voting energy can we expect to
stem the rising tide of reaction in this
country.
"Workers' preoccupation with de
fense production and indifference to
legislative issues in the 1942 elections
have already reaped a tragic harvest.
The Smith-Connally Act, the uncurbed
spiraling of living costs, the unscrup
ulous tax bill, the travesty on the sol
diers' vote are but a few of the bitter
fruits of the 1942 harvest. And this is
but a forestate of the calamity that
can. be ours if workers permit the
1944 elections to go by default and
neglect.
"Democracy can survive the rigors
of war and the strain of post-war re
conversion only if there is vigorous
participation by the common people in
the operation of the institutions of
democracy. The prime institute of
democracy is the ballot. It is the
solemn and patriotic duty of every
American worker to register and vote
"Freedom from want, freedom from
fear, freedom of press and assemb
lage, freedom of religion these four
freedoms are ours if we have the will
and courage to fight, work, and vote
for them. The challenge to all workers
in Ohio in 1944 is to earn these four
freedoms on the battlefront, on the
production front, and at the ballot
box."

Conference Next Sunday
Columbus—A state-wide legislative
conference for all organizations af
filiated with the Ohio State Federa
tion of Labor has been called for Sun
day, March 12 by the Federation's
executive board.
The conference will begin at 1 p.m.
in the grand ballroom of the Neil
House.
In the call issued for the conference
it was pointed out that several bills
which are a positive danger to or
ganized labor are pending in the na
tional congress, and to defeat them
will call for vigorous action on the
part of unions.
The current drive by the Ohio State
Fedei-ation of Labor for registration
of labor voters will be emphasized at
the conference. The registration drive,
it is believed, will take precedence
over other legislative activity.
The executive board urges all af
filiates to send representatives to the
conference.
