SHOUSE FAM •• '‘-~W V ers, growers, jobbers and all refus ing to accept the blame. Slaughter ers say they cannot afford to buy livestock and process the animals into meat at ceihiv? prices, and this is setting the stage for black mar kets. Price control on all kinds of com- 1 as c ^ e< ^ here is too mild. It need modities has been a farce thus far, adjectives and such contemplated control sys tem will not provide a real solution to the inflation problem. V.’e saw this during and after the last war, when QPA was in oper ation. Rationing and price controls were supposed to give everyone their fair share of the supply of goods at the same price. This did not happen, •we all know, .because many items' were diverted into the black market, and other illegal channels where the last possfble nickel of profit was squeezed out of the customer. Practically every segment of our; economy has been blamed for infla-; tion—^manufacturing, retailing, agri culture, labor. As usual, most of us always blame the other fellow'. We ; are just dealing with the symptoms and not the causes. Truth is, the No. 1 1 reason for growing inflation is gov- ernment. The disease lies in its poli cies of spend and spend and spend, regardless of any real need. The re sult of such spending and extrava gance is the increasing of the na tional purchasing power faster Jhan the available supply of consumer goods can be increased. So long as that situation exists, inflation will continue to have the upper hand. ^fion hardly walk be- 1 a pains in my legs ^hrt of my back,” said' >3on, Rt. 1, Ware Shoals, ye she started chiropractic hits under Dr. Hart of Lau- C. back had caused me to suffer! id on all my life, but all that Kng is a thing of the past since' fived adjustments from Dr. j had a stiff feeling in my neck [across my shoulders.

They didn’t like the set-up or personnel, running true to form, they w r ant to have their own w’ay. The result was the declaring of | a boycott' of the mobilization pro- j gram, and since then government! has unsuccessfully striven to restore! labor’s full participation, conference after conference resulting in discord and no agreement. In the meanwhile our young men are being wounded and killed in Korea while out home- front preparedness program is ham pered and weakened. Yesterday the United Labor Policy commitee announced it had ended its quarrel with the mdWlization offi cials and expressed the view that its two-month boycott of defense agen-; cies would benefit the American peo- j pie. The committee, representing | AF1L, CIO and others, voted to re turn immediately to the agency posts vacated early in February. It is to be hoped these highly paid lead ers mean what they say, but it is likely that the Mobilization Director will find his job increasingly diffi cult and uncomfortable. Why is it that when our nation gets into troifcle the union leaders— not the members—seem to pick just that moment to make everything more difficult for it?
