see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall
behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed
within me.”—Book of Job.

Labor has now been forbidden by law from striking, but
other groups in our population, aided and abetted bv Congress,
seem to be immune.
nu- ^ollgr®ss» itself, is on strike against the Commander-in
Chief of the Nation and against the workers and consumers of
the country.
Throughout the lentgh and breadth of the land, farmers,
ranchers, producers and distributors are on strike against the
people of America, refusing to market their produce in the hope
of forcing higher prices.
These strikes are not denounced in newspaper headlines and
editorials In far! fha nm.v 4„ i____

MORRISON CALLS FOR UNITY
OF CONGRESS UNDER AMERICAN
FLAG TO WIN VICTORY
WASHINGTON, July 7.—Congressman Cameron Morrison of
Charlotte today appealed to members of Congress to get under the
American flag with him, to stop bickering and fighting among
themselves and fall in step for victory in the war.
The North Carolina congressman, who has become a House sage and
whose advice and counsel is daily sought by leaders of the House, declared
today he did not understand how members could enthusiastically unite in
voting money for the war in a spirit of patriotism and loyalty, and then turn
around to nagging each other and stirring up a fuss.
He recalled that Woodrow Wilson was deeply criticized in the last World
war just as Mr. Roosevelt is today and that Bernard Baruch, as chairman
of the Wrar Industries board, was severely criticized for his part in the con
duct of the war. Today, he continued, both are revered and Mr. Baruch,
for his service in World war I, is referred to as “the man who knew what
to do in the emergency.”
He said he believed it the duty of the executive branch of the govern
ment to run its share in the war and of the legislative branch to do its part
and above all, quit bickering and accusing each other of doing things any
reasonable man would know were untrue.
Governor Morrison was loudly applauded by members of the House,
many of whom rushed to him after he had spoken and congratulated him
on the sound advice he had given them.—Charlotte Observer Washington

THAT PREDATORY BIRD
By RUTH KREMEN
In the Washington New Dealer
With Hitlerism to defeat
And other scores to settle,
We’re challenged with the kind of feat
That tests a country’s mettle.
If we must carry on at length
Toward victory ahead—
America must build her strength
On butter, meat and bread.
And while we’re giving all-out aid
One thing looms very clear—
Behind the higher prices paid
Is the wartime profiteer.
If consumers get together
And make their voices heard—
There’ll not even be a feather
For that predatory bird.

A Recreation
Center Donated
By Machinists
—V—
Members of the Portland, Oregon,
Local 63, International Association of
Machinists, not only are doing their
part on the production line but also
have found time to do something for
the men in the armed forces in that
area. They have given a recreation
center to the service men.
Known as the Victory Center, the
building was provided by the local
union to meet a need that had long
been felt. Among the first to visit
the new center was Eugene A. Ran
dell of Chicago, 111., machinists’ mate
second class, USN.
The new recreation center provides
adequate facilities for presenting com
plete shows, dressing rooms and stage
properties also being provided. The
building has been turned over to the
local county chairman of War Bond
committee and also will be used to
promote sales of War Bonds.

It’s Patriotic to
Use Gas
Wisely
Gas is vital in war production and
must not be wasted by home
users.
Cooking can not be hastened by
hard boiling over a high flame.
Just use a covered utensil and
the moment boiling starts, lower
the burner to gentle boiling to
cook quickly and nutritiously.
Gas is Vital—Don’t Waste It!
