Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kimsrds i an nounce the birth of a daughter, Mary Lois, on Wednesday, November 19. Blrs. Kinards is the former Miss Edith Knight when President Roosevelt issued his ultimatum on the closed shop for la bor by saying that the government will never compel men to join a un ion by government decree. “That would be too much like the Hitler methods toward labor,” said the presidmt. No matter how great the labor problons become, that one principle of policy has bem stated in irrevo cable terms. In his statement to John L. Lewis and other represmtatives of the coal miners, die president also inferred that his tolnrance of strikea in defense industries has ended. He said: Because jt is essential to national defmse that the necessary coal pro- duction^ke cimtinued and not stop ped,'!^ is therefore the indisputable obligation of the president to see that this is done. “If legislation becomes necessary toward this end, the congress of the United States will without any ques tion pass such l^pslation. And, as 800^ of, yod know, the pressure cm me to ask for legislation during the past couple of memths, for one reason or another, has been not only c<m- sistent, but it has been very heavy.” Although; the president said this statement should not be interpreted as a tiu^at, it was clearly evident that he was giving labmr a last chance — telling its representatives that they must '“play ball” or he would unleash the legislators who are eager to pass anti-strike legisla tion when he gives the word. In making his statement to the coal miners* repreeentatives, the president was undoubtedly also issuing an in direct warning to the railroad uh- iems, since it was obvious that a strike of the railroads would hamper defense just as much or more tiian a strike in the “captive” mine indus try. The decisions on labor questions being made this month will undoubt edly bring to a head the settlement of the growing labor problem whkd^ has threatened our defense output on so many different fronts. It is also known that quite a num ber of members of the house of rep resentatives voted for revision of the neutrality act only after assurance from the president that he would stop the strike menace, and it was because of the vote of these con gressmen that the measure was passed. As a result of the neutrality re vision, which the president consid ered essential to America's welfare, our merchant ships are now rapidly being sent into peurts in war zoms. That some of them will be attacked is a^ foregone conclusion, but it is also expected that they will greatly increase the delivoty of war siqplin to England and Russia. Although the vote on the neutral ity act ended most of the important provisions of that measure, it should be made clear that tiie act was not repealed. There are still certain pro visions of it Y^ch are in force, in cluding: a prohibition against Ameri can citizens traveling on belligerent vessels except with special permis sion; a prohibition against foreign vessels flying the Anmrican flag; a prohibition against the soliciting of funds in this coimtry for a belliger* ent government; and a inrohibition agaii^ Americans dealing in securi ties of belligerent nations.

Whm Secretary Morgenthau siiggested a' possible 15 per cent tax on payrolls,! the treasury department was swamp ed with letters wanting to k»^ what all of the talk of increased pur chasing power was about. Moat of those writing said their inemnes had not been inoreased and their cost of MviA# had risen sharply. Officials of the treasury depart ment* hdmit this is a hard nut to crack. They agree that the brunt of new taxes pr^>ably should be lev ied on those vdio are making bigger incomes because of defense jobs, but it is difficult to work out any pro gram which would apply to defmse workers and would not hit so hard those who are stUl earning the same incomes, or smaller incomes, than they were before the defense pro gram started.
