| A Rmu tarn 01 | pmolagt in tb? National b>. ? Washington, Oct. 2 ? Although public is, in general, looking to Washington for a solution to the strike epidemic which is spreading over the country, it seems doubtful if any final solution will be worked out by either the department of la bor or congress. Settlement of strikes, in the final analysis, must be brought about by conference be tween management and labor. Al though the department of labor, un der wartime regulations, has the power to end strikes, if those pow-j ers were used now it is believed' that it would merely postpone a sit uation for which a permanent so lution must be found. , Although the battle between labor nd management is apt to get much nore severe befoi - ?">v peace is ?

Labor's aim is to keep wages at wartime levels even though the number of working hours may be greatly reduced. Management is in the position of being asked to to refere MONTHLY >FEMA1E MIN Lydia K.

Try Itl JtydiA&Obdthamti 8SSBB agree to a major increase in its payrolls while at the same tiroej it has been clearly told by the gov ernment that it will not be able to increase the price of the goods it sells. ? Business analysts here point out that labor and taxes are the two greatest expenses of in^pstry. The answer, they suggest, may be a shift of tax money to payrolls ? that management could afford to pay la bor more if its taxes were reduced. Tax legislation will probably be presented to congress soon. Many plans for revision of taxes already have been offered. It is expected that a total revision of our tax struc ture will be made eventually, but some form of temporary legislation will be passed this year to bring about a general lowering of taxes next year. It is believed that this will include elimination or reduc tion of excess profit taxes in order to encourage expansion of industry, and will also include a general^ low ering of personal taxes. ? + ? Each week brings the announce ment of the termination of more and more wartime restrictions. Most im portant, perhaps, of recent announ cements is the end of controls over construction beginning October 15. After that time there will be no bars on building homes, public buildings or commercial structures. The only control which will remain will be price control over construc tion materials in order to guard the interests of the consumer. But materials of many kinds may con tinue to be scarce for some time, although the government has al ready launched a program to break bottlenecks, prevent hoarding of ma terials and speed manufacture of necessary building needs. Because many people are paying exhorbiUnt prices for homes al ready constructed, the government also has started a program to help the home buyer get his money's worth. Under this plan the nation al housing agency will giva free ad visory service to home buyers for evaluating the homes they are con sidering buying. ? ? ? General MacArthur's statement that he would need only 200,000 men for an occupation force in Japan fell like a bombshell on the war de partment here, which had said that at least 600,000 men would be need ed. The statement has naturally increased the great pressure already put on the war department to re lease men faster ? and it looks now as though the original plans will be speeded up immeasurably. Reduction of the point score needed to get out of the army to 70 points on October 1 and 60 points on November 1 will make almost 2,000,000 additional servicemen eli gible for discharge before the end of the year.

Flucie Stewart, former Fur man football star and Appalachian State Teachers College coach, has joined the Clemson (S. C.) College coaching staff. Lt. Stewart, recently discharged from the navy after a long hitch of Pacific duty, has reported for work. Stewart will coach the Clemson ends. The Clemson staff has been very-short-handed this season with only Coach Frank Howard and Wal ter Cox on Hand. Lt. Col. Bob Jones, Capt. McMillan, Maj. Randy Hinson and Lt. Tom Rogers are still in service. Maj. Banks McFadden, 1939 Ail-American at Clemson, re cently rejoined the Tiger staff. "We are mighty glad to get Flucie and to have Banks back," said Coach Howard. "We have been handicapped all season with only two of us working with a big squad." Lt. Stewart coached at Furman, Appalachian and Delaware State before entering the navy. He was prominently mentioned for the Fur man coaching job vacated by Dizzy McLeod if Lt. Robert King did not accept, but King took the job last week and Stewart then moved to Clemson. SIX-INCH SERMON REV. ROBERT H. HARPER. -tt-n? n? n-n-i^mr-n? ir ii-ii-n-n-n-n-g THE CHRISTIAN WAY OF LIFE LMion for October 7: Luk* 10:25-37 In this quarter we leave the book of Genesis and go to the New Tes tament for a study of the Christian and his relationships. Today we have the Christian Way of Life, as inferred from the meeting of Jesus and the lawyer who asked what he should do to inherit eternal life. This lawyer, versed in the Mo saic law, did not put the question in sincerity but with the hope of en tangling Jesus, making "trial of him." The Master turned the ques tion on the questioner and made the lawyer answer his own query, "What is written in the law?" He asked: "How readest thou?" The lawyer's answer was a good one. But when Jesus said, "This do, and thou shalt live," the man pre tended difficulty in fixing upon the change and scope of his obligation. "And who is my neighbor?" he ask ed. Many are like him today ? they readily assent to the truth but failing to measure up to it they claim to find it hard to determine upon the application of the truth. The story of the Good "Samaritan was the answer to the lawyer's question. That story teaches that a neighbor is the man in need, wheth er he live next door or beyond the sea. The full realization and appli cation of this truth in all human re lations would remake the war wreckened and sorrowing world in a generation. We ourselves can do something toward making things better by dealing with every man in need as our neighbor. WILLOW VALLEY HOME CLUB MEETS WITH MRS.
