That Milk Raise Increase in the price of milk in) Bismarck, effective today, is another stern reminder of the cost which drouth is inflicting upon us in com- mon with other plains states. City people will get no pleasure out of paying more for this necessity, but they will not complain because they will easily appreciate that it is jus- tified. A look at the parched mead- ows in the Bismarck milk shed is enough to convince anyone of the; feed shortage. Knowledge of condi- tions in neighboring areas shows that feed must be shipped in—and shipped a long way—if our dairy cattle are to be kept producing. The answer is obvious, even though unpleasant, and our distributors should be commended for passing the entire increase in price along to the farmer. Meanwhile, it is worth noting that milk is still the cheapest and best food. The nutriment it contains is greater than that of any other food at the same cost. Far from reducing the consumption of milk, it will be wise household economy to increase it because of comparable rises in the cost of other foodstuffs. The probability is that Bismarck is not now using as much milk as it should. In a recent national survey, milk consumption in 61 cities was studied with a view to determining the amount used by school children. ‘The only North Dakota city included was Fargo, and there it was found that under-consumption was pro- nounced. Data was obtained from 452 fam- ilies containing school children, the total population of the families be- ing 2,455 and the number of children 1,292. The data showed use of only four-tenths of a pint per person and use of evaporated milk was 71 per cent below the national average. Scientists have worked out four different diets, all of them calling for the use of milk and all based on nu- tritional needs rather than the dairy- man’s interest. ‘The “liberal diet,” which provides for better than average nutrition, calls for 305 quarts of milk a year Per person, as does the “adequate dict at moderate cost.” The third diet, Usted as “adequate at minimum cost,” calls for 260 quarts of milk a year and the fourth, de- scribed as a diet below which it is unsafe to go and upon which no one should try to subsist for more than a limited period, calls for 155 quarts of milk a year, Figures on Fargo's milk habits showed a consumption only two per cent above the specifications for the lowest diet and more than 39 per cest below the standard described as adequate. Fletcher vs. Wallace One of the interesting political ar- guments now current is that between Henry P. Fletcher, new chairman of the G. O. P., and Henry A. Wallace, one-time Republican but now the king pin in the government's effort to assist agriculture. It all started when Fletcher charged that checks for acreage re- duction benefits were deliberately be- ing withheld from farmers by the agricultural administration, The in-|SUrce of ference was that they would be delivered shortly before the coming congressional elections in order to emphasize, at a critical time, the help which the Democrats have extended to the farmer. The heat of Wallace’s reply may be gauged by the closing sentence of his statement, which said: “It is a need of the money and would be in a} better frame of mind if we could get| it to them sooner.” ‘The real question involved is clearly one of intention. Is the delay in issuing benefit checks deliberate or is it forced by circumstance? Fletcher suspects that it amounts to political trickery. Wallace says this is absurd. As between the two, Wallace knows most about it-and the only way for Fletcher to prove his point is to establish himself as a mind reader. Sign of Confidence Just as the federal deposit insur- ance corporation instilled confidence into the American banking system, 80 does the refusal of some strong banks to accept its further protection indicate continued growth of a spirit of optimism. Thus the announcement that 21 commercial banks have resigned from the fund is pleasing rather than doleful information. It means that the managers of these banks are con- fident of their ability to meet all de- mands upon them and that this con- fidence extends to their depositors. All told, 188 banks now have with- drawn from the insurance corpora- tion, including 167 mutual savings banks. Most of them are in small communities, thus signifying a return of confidence where it counts most. Big banks with imposing assets might be expected to be the first to break away. One does not expect the great to be afraid. But when small banks strike out on their own it means that the spirit of optimism is pretty gen- erally restored.

In this series of articles, however, Rodney Dutcher, Tribune and NEA Washington Correspondent, explains the aims and accomplishments of these agencies, in clear, concise fashion. The articles, of which this is the second, will be interspersed with Dutcher’s regular Washington columns. BY RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Ccrrespondent) Washington, Aug. 2—The new Na- tional Labor Relations Board starts with two strikes on it-—and no pun intended. But the NLRB hopes for industrial peace through @ definite policy upon which both labor and in- dustry can depend. The old National Labor Board, dead and unlamented, started with similar To subpoena employers’ books and payrolls. To find employers guilty of vio- lating 7-a or interfering with elec- tions and to report the findings to the NRA Compliance Board for Blue Eagle removal and to the Department of Justice for prosecution under NIRA. If its findings aren't lived up to, the beard may have its own legal staff bring prosecution through the nearest U. 8. district attorney. to mediate 7-a, but to toss to the courts any challenge of the section by ar. industry. AUTO SETTLEMENT PLAN IS FLAT FAILURE Any uniform labor policy must scrap the automobile strike settle- ment. Roosevelt finally gave up his sincere belief that he had achieved a “triumph of social engineering,” in that one. Realizing that it has en- raged legions of labor by its failure to let. winners of election majorities bar- gain for all workers, he himself wrote the law creating NLRB almost single hended. One big NLRB job is to avoid “set- tlements,” which only pile up more trouble for the future. Since courts are so slow, public opinion is per- haps its strongest, weapon in the en- forcement of 7-a. Chairman Garrison, handsome, tan- ned, high-browed 37-year-old Harvard Law School graduate, is dean of Uni- aim. It broke down because Presi- dent Roosevelt and General John- son interfered with it, Chairman Wag- ner was kept busy in the Senate, there was no vice-chairman or secretary, members had other things to do and the administration’s lackadaisical attitude toward labor problems earned contempt for NLB from both sides. Collapse of NLB’s prestige handicaps its successor. With plenty of mistakes by which to profit, three able full-time members man the new board. But their lim- gency law which satisfied nobody when passed were shown when they couldn’t even intervene in the San Francisco strike. Secretary of Labor Francis Perkins is likely to dominate the show. That's up to the board members, chosen by her for Roosevelt's appontment. stand it, You un- s F Hi & i 5 g t-¥ e ei $ 8 i gE i I I afi | HS st C | i ; a I i ag Ba i : ! # : i é Z | i 5 ; fi ! fi F Chairman harmonious body of precedent veloped in settlement of labor dis- putes.” That's important.
