Going Back to Home

This writer, visiting Wyckoff with members of the war labor board's steel ‘panel, asked Mrs. Regina Seng, a lathe operator, what she intends doing after the war. “I'm going to return to housekeeping,” replied Mrs, Seng. “Most of the married women will do that. One big reason we are working now is that we think the country needs us here, but when the war is over I'd rather keep house. The

single women may want to stay on in

Jobs until they get married. Then, I think, they will take charge of their own homes.” The next to be interviewed was Mary Metianoski, who is 31, single and running some kind of a machine that looked very complicated. Expects fo Marry

“I like my job,” said Mary. “1 want to stay here, but I expect to get married some day and then I think I will settle down and keep ® house. ” As a completely objective observ er, this writer here interjects the comment that it probably will not

be long after Mary's young man|

begins to think about settling down. |.

The women are making same wages as men on the same kind of jobs, but they can’t do all of a man’s work. We are glad to have them here now, and we know what a hell of a good job they are doing for the company and the country, But after the war, with $he boys coming back and all kinds of competition for jobs, we're going to stop helping them. “And,” said Alex, “vou can just put it down that that's the general attitude among the men.” Incidentally, Alex supported what this writer had heard from workers in other steel plants about the disinclination of steel workers to engage in a general strike even if their wage demands are turned down by the war labor board, “As for his plant,” he said, “There is no danger of a strike. The men and women here are thoroughly sold on the idea that the armed forces need what we make, and all we can make, The only danger of a shutdown here would be from a strike in some of the basic steel companies where we buy the stuff we make into our kind of steel.”

— (PRICES ON HC 8 |Local Chemist: - | ARE UNCHANGED] War Uses of Coal Tar Bases

Ches Many

© Times Special CLEVELAND, April 3~“During this war the coal tar bases have emerged from the realm of laboratory curiosities and have acquired ah important place in the field of essential war chemicals.” F. E. Cislack, director of research for Reilly Tar & Chemical Co. of Indianapolis,

told the American Chemical society ld She have achieved their phenomenal growth,” Mr, Cislack said, “because) of the ‘foresight of the American producers of coal tar chemicals who for years have ex4 pended vast sums of money on researches to develop and perfect Re-| methods for making these chem® icals available, “The contribution of coal * tar bases to the war effort is reflected by the importance of the products made from them. Vitamins, me-

13.601 dicinals, insecticides, synthetic rubber, waterproofed cloth, fungicides, 1]

tors for steel pickling, germicides, and rubber accelerators are but a few of the strategic materials made from coal tar bases.

“Coal tar bases have brought about the development of synthetic rubber which more nearly resembles natural rubber than do any of the other synthetic rubbers. Competent |. rubber chemists claim it to be an outstanding contribution to the synthetic rubber field. The Reilly laboratories are proud of having initiated the researches, and of having made available the vinylpyridine, which brought about the development of so superior a synthetic rubber. “One of the vitamins now being used to fortify flour is nicitinic acid, the pellagra preventive factor -of the B group. This vitamin was formerly made in limited quantities and at a high cost by the oxidation of nicotine. Now {t is

here today.

produced in large volume by the oxidation of thé coal tar bases beta picoline and quinoline; cost is about 60 per cent less. “In rolling steel into sheets or drawing it into rods or wire, it is necessary to remove the scale formed during the various operations; this is done by dissolving the scale with acid. The acid, however, is not selective in its action and dissolves not only the scale but also some of the steel. By the addition of coal tar bases to the acid bath, the action of the acid upon the steel is inhibited without affecting its action on the scale, This use of coal tar bases results in the saving of tremendous quantities of steel—so necessary in our war effort. “The success of the Zelan process of waterproofing cloth depends upon pyridine—another coal tar base. Our armed forces are using large quanities of protective clothing treated by this process. “Lauryl pyridinium chloride and SeLy! plciuian chloride are powerful des made from the coal tar bases pyridine and picoline respectively. Sulfapyridine, an important sulfa drug, is made from coal tar base. ' “Mildew reventives and insecticides malle from coal tar bases are very essential to our armed forces, We undoubtedly could win this war without coal tar bases, but they are making the fight a lot easier and are saving lives!”

Loewy's designs are probably best known in the electrical appliance field, where they have Increased consumer acceptance for an imposing list of household products, Mr. Jones pointed out in making his announcement, and added that Loewy’s designs for planes, trains and other forms of transportation are equally famous. American Central Manufacturing Corp. made steel sinks and kitchen cabinets before the war and expects to be an outstanding contender in the post-war field.

ALUMINUM CO. NETS $1.95 A SHARE IN '43

PITTSBURGH, April 3 (U. P). —The Aluminum Co. of America produced 78 per cént more aluminum in 1943 than in 1942, and price reductions of the metal against 1943 billings approximated $130,000,000, Roy A. Hunt, president, and Arthur V. Davis, chairman, reported today to stockholders. The company’s sales, ages in its history, were 67 per cent higher in tonnage in 1943 than In 1942. Net income last year amounted to $42901,570, or $795 a share, compared with earnings of $33,361,762, or $5.93 a share, in 1042. The report declared that the postwar prospects for aluminum will depeng on price, quantity available and the increased number of engineers, designers and workers who

U. S. Aid to Russia Beats Schedule

WASHINGTON, April 3 (U. P). —Lend-lease shipments of munitions and other war supplies to Russia for January and February this year exceeded 1,000,000 - tons, bringing total deliveries to that nation since October, 1941, to more than 9,400,000 tons, Foreign Economic ‘Administrator Leo T. Crowley reported today. Shipments to the Soviets, Crowley said, now are well ahead of the monthly schedule, the January and February total comparing with ‘only 670,000 tons in the corresponding 1943 period, and 200,000 two years ago.

IMPORTANCE OF JOB INSURANCE NOTED

An adequate unemployment compensation program for civilian workers is as important in post-war planning as a clear-cut rehabilitation program for returning veterans, Everett L. Gardner, director of the Indiana Employment Security division, told the Service club today. “Indiana has at least 300,000 men in the armed forces,” Gardner said, but we have more than 1,300,000 civilians who last year worked in jobs insured under the unemployment compensation Unemployed persons absorbed in war plants and new persons entering the labor market have increased

the number insured under the job

insurance program by 300,000 since 1940, Gardner said. “Both soldier and civilian alike want jobs, but both need some measure of economic protection during the transition period when war activities slacken or cease,” he said. Business will benefit from job insurance as much as will individuals, he said, “because in 99 per cent of the cases every nickel received from unemployment compensation goes to buy bread and butter, for rent and other necessities.” John M. “Hare, president of J. C. Perry Co. presided at the meeting.

DEFLECTION OL DRILLING BEGUN

Method Tried for First Time In Indiana Under Wabash.

Defiection drilling for oil is being

I

on the lowe Wabash river in. Gibson county, three miles east of the oil center of Grayville, Ill., Hugh A. Barnhart, director of the Indiana department of conservation said today, The derrick is 20 feet from the river on the Continental Oil Co. lease, but the drilling will be deflected to run under the Wabash river, which is owned by the state to the thread of the stream, which forms the Indiana-Iilinois boundary line. The derrick was originally constructed five feet from the river, but water hindered the drilling in spite of the piles which protect the bank. The bank is now being riprapped to protect the well. The deflection will start at a depth of approximately 1000 feet, and the curve itself will extend from 500 to 600 feet until it is under the river. From there drilling will be straight down, passing through what is referred to as the Mississippian pay sands, to the Devonian pay horizon at 4700 feet. The well is in the Griffin-pool area which is producing .oil from Chester pay sands at a depth of 2500 to 3000 feet. George Boyce, Canton, O. holds the contract with the department and.the drilling permit. The permit covers a period of five years and is subject to renewal every five years. According to the contract the state will receive a one-eighth royalty from either oil or gas produced by the well. The original permit was issued to J. B. Cogan, postmaster at Vincennes, in December, 1942. On Jan. 13, 1943, the permit was assigned to David Henry Smith of Greene county and Mr. Boyce. In May, Mr. Smith assigned his share of the permit to Mr. Boyce.

CITY-TO-LOUISVILLE TRUCK TRIPS CUT

by two Indiana common carriers operating between Louisville and Indianapolis has heen approved in Washington, George F. Burnett, district manager ‘of the division of motor transport cf the office of defense transportation announced today. Mr. Burnett sald the plan, designed by ODT to conserve manpower, replacement parts, truck miles and gasoline, will result in an annual saving of 100, truck miles and 10,000 man-hours. Under the plan, one daily schedule will be eliminated in each direction between the two points, enabling each carrier to release one piece of its equipment for daily use elsewhere, plus a reduction of operating and office personnel by joint terminal arrangements. By the consolidation of less-than-truckload trafic by the Ziffrin Truck Lines, Inc, and General Motors Express, Inc, it will make it possible for each éarrier to load its equipment nearer to capacity and will eliminate the movement of partial loads.
