Seemingly, Monopoly Steel,
presented with Monopoly La-
bor’s demands early in the morn-
ing, fought them bitterly until
sometime between lunch and
dinner before giving in, but not
so late that Monopoly Steel could
not announce a price increase
before breakfast next morning.

So now Sinclair Weeks, Com-
merce Secretary, is reportedly
trying to persuad. Monopoly
Steel to fight Monopoly Labor
demands at least a little bit, and
when it does give in, not to ad-
vance steel prices too sharply.

On the other side of the fence
Labor Secretary James Mitchell
Is reported to be trying te talk
Monopoly Labor into some re-
straint In the matter of wage de-
mands at this time.

This being election year, it is
not desired that another boost in
steel prices increase prices oh
everything from washing mach-
ines to' automobiles.

But it is interesting te note in
this year of 1954 even Cabinet
officers go hat in hand to Mon-
opoly Steel and Monopoly Labor
asking boys not to reck the boat.

E. B. “Tex” Mayer was named
president .of the La Grange Jay-
cees when the organization met
Monday night to elect a new

dent; H. A. Frede Jr., 2nd vice
president; Henry J. Schovajsa,

urer; and Mike Roberts, W. G.
Johnson and John Lanier, direc-
tors. Hold-over directors are A.
L. Rosenberg, Oscar Cook and

The Jaycees set the fee for
using the lighted ball park at
the fair grounds, at $3.00 an
hour, plus *$10, which is desig-
nated for ground upkeep,
placement of lights, etc.
So far, however, he believei
the consumer is kept from real-
izing the economic stresses by
inflationary measures which are
creating illusion of prosperity.

this viewpoint alone, because
governmental forces are reput-
edly working behind scenes. As

of the economy. During past tew

In this, his^M

Gaunt finds too many consumers

But he also points out that with
merger after merger being com-
pelled by tax laws, other forces,
more control of production is be-
ing combined in fewer hands.
Under normal conditions con-

the pinch.
