To Beat Competition

Ifegal Practice Reflected in One Million Less Students Enrolled in High Schools.

By PETER EDSON NEA Staff Writer i WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—Child labor and conviction of apie tof {legal hiring of children has dropped from its wartime peak, but is still above pre-war levels. U. 8. census bureau, office of education and the child labor and youth employment branch of the division of fair labor standards in the department of labor all tell the same sad story, hard as it is to believe.

latest estimate available, is put at two-and-a-half milion. About

three-quarters of a million of them are 14- and .15-year-olds—one out of every six children of that age, U. S. office of education confirms this with a report that there are a million fewer youngsters-in high school now than in the peak enrollment year of 1043, Worst report of all comes from compliance figures of the child labor and youth employment branch. In the government's fiscal year ending June 30, 1941, 579 employers ‘were found guilty of employing 1761 chil dren illegally. Then wartime demands and labor shortages drew hundreds of thou sands of youngsters into more 0 less steady employment. The peak was 1945, when 3481 firms were found guilty of employing 13,280 children illegally.

Convictions in 48 States

Fiscal 1046 saw a drop to 2480 convictions for illegally employing 9538 children, The alarming part of all these figures is that they show total employment of minors double what it was before the war, while con-/ victions for illegal employment are up five times, |

Times State Service MONTICELLO. Ind. Feb, 14— The J. 0. Washburn Co,, operating a local furniture plant which was closed last December, has been sold at a liquidating auction, according to Louis Selengut of Marion, owner of the factory. The primary reason for the sale was inability of the company to secure a satisfactory lease on the building it was using, he indicated. At the peak of production last summer, the plant employed 77 per- | sons. Mr. Selengut plans to go to Deland, Fla, where he owns and operates a furniture and house trailer factory.

LANSFORD, Pa., Feb. 14 (U, P.), —A sitdown strike of 13° ‘miners threatened to mushroom into a fullscale walkout in the anthracite fields today when 6000 hard coal diggers voted to quit work in sympathy. The threatened: walkout would close the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Co. operations in Coaldale, Nesquehoning and Tamaqua, Pa. Previously 1200 fellow miners refused to report for work. » n

THE 6000 miners voted to quit work today at a meeting last night of the Panther valley committee of the United Mine Workers (A. PF. of L.). : The sitdown started Wednesday night when 15 miners in the Lansford colliery refused to leave the mine in protest againt pay deductions for quitting work early after they had mined their quota of coal.

Housewives

Plenty of Turkeys But Price Is High

. By ROBERT TAYLOR Soripps-Howard Staff Writer - WASHINGTON, Feb. 14—This is the sort of thing that makes the housewife gnash her teeth when she looks 8% the prices in the butcher shop. The war's over, the - shortage is over and the turkey growers are caught with an oversupply. Under the circumstances, you'd

pick up some turkey bargains and eabe the pressure on her bddget. But, no. The government steps in with a brand-new price-support

rogram, » J Instead of letting the law of supply and demand deal with the glut of turkeys, it buys them up In wholesale lots. The government pays from 20% cents a pound (out west, for live old tons) to 42% -cents (in the east, for the best dressed young hens.) Thus, while the housewife searches for bargains, her govern. ment is short-circuiting her by holding the price up.

U. 8. Will Resell

Look at it from the standpoint of the oustomer and you'll say that the government is just using tax

There's another angle to it, hough. You're going to want turkeys later. If a pfice break forced turkey farmers out of production a scarcity would result, with sky-high es. The problem, as the agriculture department saw it, was to get rid of the oversupply and let the turkey farmers down easily, then get rid of the job of caring for the farmer and let him run his own show, subject to the law of supply! and demand. So the department put a limit of 10 million pounds of turkey on its purchases and scheduled the end of its program for June 30. It will cost about $5 million.
