LEE B. is a sad commentary on present conditions when the President cf the United States has to get down on his knees and beg some big shot labor leader to comply with the laws of the United or to relax some of dictatorial regulations which his union has But that's exactly what has the President of the United according to an Press news sent a telegram to James Caesar president of the American Federation of ASKING to comply with a War Labor Board order drop Its ban on making The order referred to was Issued by the United War Labor Board last June 15. Until this good hour the union has Ignored and until this good hour the President has not seen fit to force a show down as he did in the case of the Montgomery Ward Company and as he did In enforcing his racial regulations in the Philadelphia Transit an apparent effort to justify the President's failure to enforce compliance with the War Labor Board Stabilization Director M. said the union's with the WLB order NOT UNDULY IMPEDING THE WAR And he the government to the statute requires a finding that a dispute does Impede the war President's telegram however goes on to this MAY encourage other Instances of noncompliance which will Impede the war Continuing he a which loves democratic government and loves keen competition under the rules of the parties to dispute should adhere to the decisions of the board even though one of the parties the decision * certainly doesn't encourage confidence In government and belief in the fairness of government regulations when we see the pleading COMPANY HAS JUST RECEIVED SHIPMENT OF PAIRED IRON GREY in this issue appears a photo and advertisement by The Morris Livestock This photo shows the new and place of business of this on the Cairo Road just at the city limits on Carroll this photo will bo seen one of the finest assortment of mules and horses ever shown in and included in the lot is one special group of iron grey young three and four-year-old mulos which have just been Weighing from 1000 to 1400 they will average about 1300 pounds They have been well broken and are as gentle as can They have been paired in an excellent manner and in every way are excellent such as will be seen in this section of the Fred gonial and popular owner and manager of The Morris Livestock states that he feels he is most fortunate in securing so many of these fine His purchase of these mules was In recognition of by farmers of this section of better grade work stock and they are now being offered at his barn at private auction sales are held the local but every day in the week one may buy as good horses and mules as can be found and at prices that are usually lower than There is plenty of time for leisurely inspection and judging of these animals and visitors are always welcome at this the Valdosta operated by Mr. regular weekly auction sales are held each and often as high fcs three and four hundred animals are sold at single The Valdosta barn Is located on Rivers street and la well known to farmers and dealers visiting that at private sales or at Mr. Morris states that his and Valdosta barns are well prepared to serve the public and he Invites all Interested stockmen and farmers to visit him at any time they are In need of mules and RED CROSS UNIT COMPLETES ITS SEPTEMBER 2~-TIiC of the surgical department of the Red wishes to report that we have Just finished our September do appreciate these ladles helping us and if more would come of course we would be able to make It would be an awful thing If some of our boys were and of these dressings for following ladles have given their Mrs. J.

Lewis In the mine can tell the President of the the Director of Stabilization and the War Labor Board and the courts of the nation to go jump In the simply because they have powerful union organizations at their command to back them how can it be expected that the rank and file of the the majority of whom are law could even want to abide by decisions of the President and his several regulatory and governing those In high positions refuse to observe the laws of the why should the small fry do so. Simply because they are big and as ip the case of does not justify them In defying the laws of the The laws and regulations we now live under were not to be made for one group to ignore at and another group to accept whether they like them or the case of Mr. Petrillo proves a most interesting It proves that when we are ruled by boards and bureaus and their decrees and such as we now that when their orders do not suit the big political the Wg union chiefs and labor they can flaunt them at and the President has tried to play both ends against the middle does not have the moral courage to enforce the decisions of the boards when they finally pass the buck back to It pleased the big labor leaders and was a fresh attack on business the President used the possible excuse to claim that Montgomery Ward was impeding the war by refusing to comply with a on 4) 8 Mrs. S.
