British Learn Truth About Wage Control
British wage policy lessons for the United States show wage restraint is hard even with union support. Since 1947 costs rose 13 percent, wages 10 percent, yet real earnings up 20 percent, with industry profits blamed for excess gains. The Trades Union Council shifted stance at Brighton, tied to Labour policy, as devaluation, strikes, and service pay hikes complicate aims. A new wage-price profits approach may be developing with talks between unions and government officials.

Port Tobacco’s Rise and Decline Shaped Maryland’s Population
Port Tobacco once a colonial trade hub on the Potomac, with tobacco booms and notable residents, declined after 1800 due to deforestation and silt choking its estuary. By 1894 La Plata became county seat, and today the town is tiny, its population rolled into Charles County totals. Tobacco farming remains a regional constant as census counts edge higher than 160 years ago.

Centuries in Review of Canton’s History in Brief
A century ago the Armory Ironworks near Richmond stopped work due to competition from British makers after using 4000 tons of pig iron and 200000 bushels of coal annually. Forty years ago a Panama Canal project saw a massive rock slide of 75000 cubic yards near Bas Obispo at Culebra Cut. Eight people were injured when a North ern Ohio Traction car between Akron and Canton derailed after a broken axle near Uniontown. Twenty five years ago campaign HQ opened at 122 Market and the Army opposed a Department of Defense favoring the Air Force under Army control, voiced by Brig. Gen. Hugh A. Drumm. Ten years ago Henry H. Timken Sr, founder of Timken Roller Bearing Co and longtime Cantonian benefactor, died. Timken Vocational High School memorializes his generosity.
