weakened so that it lost muen of its usefulness to the lowestpaid workers of the nation Funds of governmental agencies which might have been of real ast istaneo in proving facts and personnel to aid in the eoi-k-ctiw bargaining process were S'ashed unmercifully under the deceitful slogan of ‘‘economy." N'or is the end in sight. Representative Fred Hartley, i <>- author of tlte Taft-Hartley A<t, promises evert more seven- antilabor legislation next y- h Others wno spitak for big business are anxious to support his
efforts.
All American workers not just those who belong to labor unions should rally on this Libor Day to support the groups which seek to prevent further turning back of the clock on mar.agi ment-labor relations The t lows which have been dealt organized labor will be f !t sharply by the farmer the merchant and the professional man. When labor's interests are infected adversely, the entire pub-
lic suffers.

have been added to the book-value of business inventories since the middle of 1946. ! The increase reflects both higher costs and greater physical stocks. Business inventories, however, are reported still below pre-war levels
in relation to sales.
Inadequate stocks in some areas are said to rr.ort than offset a few surpluses elsewhere. i The Commerce department adds that the present almost-feverish
attempt to fill the gap in supplies cannot be expected to continue long because remaining de- ' ficiencies are, in general, much less urgent than •
a few months ago. «. • • •
• SCOTCH TO GO DOWN ?—Scotch whisky i prices are due for a tumble. Much of the impending decline is traceable to the recent arrival ,
of 2.500 000 fifths from Great Britain.
Prices already had dropped from $10 and $12 ] last Christmas to $6 and under—due principally to consumer resistance—but the new shipment
held out the prospect of further reductions.
To make the prediction stick. Great Britai* said that it planned to step up its Scotch prodU’'tion to obtain more American dollars for badly
jieeded foreign exchange.
Another factor was the plight of many liquor dealers who were caught with high-priced Scotch and now find the market about to be
glutted with new supplies.

• AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR Is not only worried about the high cost of living but is issuing storm warnings of an economic collapse. . In a survey of economic tiends the AFL bluntly charges that j “cheerful news from the business front today obscures what U
actually happening.”
It contends that despite an all-time peak in employment and the fact that the ■country is still riding the crest of the prosperity wave there are signs of trouble ahead. The labir organization says that an analysis shows that the boom Is being cirried along by huge exports and by expanding use of coasuiner credit. It declares: ■'Lasting prosperity with high levels of employment and production depends on a huge demand for industry's predutts. Sv-ch demand must be supported by something more than loans to nations abroad and to consumers at home. •'Yet this year almost half of the 19 billion dollars’ worth c' exports our country will send abroad will be paid for by UniteA States loans to foreign countries. And at home American consumers are already borrowing three billions more than last year to pay for their purchases—an increase of 44 per cent.

• VITAMINS TO SET PRICES—The Agriculture department predicts that vegetables and meats will be priced not by the pound but by their nutritive value, if markets continue to develop the
transparent packaging of food.
Agriculture points out that in this type of packaging, vegetables
are given a preliminary cleaning and sorting. Dam-
aged ones generally come to light and are discarded. r«iu 0 k„„, Meats are trimmed. CJiophane
