So, to*r adr—ftipe o/ tibia wonderful chance to
assure yourself and the ones you love of a tomor-
row that is bright and certain. *
Everyone had this same, sure opportunity to
save for tomorrow And saving automatically with
U. S. Savings Bonds—which return in 10 years
|4 for every |8 invested—is the safe way to plan
a future of family security and peace of mirid.
But the average American isn’t going to strike
oil in his back yard, inherit a million dollars from
a rich uncle^ or win first prize in the Grand
National—and he knows it For him there’s got
to be a surer, safer way to prepare for a secure
and financially free future ...

the political drive which this confer-

interruption into the i960 congres-

for a smooth runnin.: political ma-

While the printers were on the
picket line, the newspapers continued
to publish, using a varitype and photo-
engraving process. News stories were
typewritten, the stories were pasted
up on a dummy page and photograph-
ed. and the photograph was printed
as a complete page.
On March 10. 1949. the publishers
made a "final" offer, which contained
the gio weekly wage increase. The
offer was made at the 134 negotia-
tion session between the bargaining
committee. It, was rejected by the
union after the ITU found some of
the clauses failed to conform with the
international's laws.

Output Rises First Time Since Oct 1948;
Purchasing Power Reported Down By 1 %
Washington.—Industrial production
rose in August for the first time since
October, 1948, the President’s Coun-
cil of Economic Advisors reported in
its monthly summary of economic
conditions.
On the less optimistic side, the
council mid that the buying power of
per capita income dropped 1 percent
during the second quarter of the yssr,
and that the rate of savings slowed
down by nearly 31.000.000,HO.
While the decline in purchasing
power waa slight, it should serve as
a reminder of the warnings voiced by
AFL leaders that a persistent trend
toward lower mass buying power will
hasten depressed economic conditions
and prevent the rMllsation of the na-
tion’s goal of full production and hill
employment.
The following are highlights of the
council’s report:
Consumers' prices continued to de-
cline in July, according to the report,
and stood at the lowest point since
April, 1948 a point of 3.3 percent be-
low the postwar peak Wholesale
prices, however, declined only slightly
in August, and moat of the drop was
cadsed by lower farm prices; other
whoieMle prices showing little change.
The country's labor force increased
by 400.000 in August, the report said.
In nonagricultural industries the gain
was nearly 1.500,000, but a decline in
agricultural employment cut the net
gain to 400,000. Prices received by
farmers, and the parity ratio, continu-
ed the decline which started last April.
The average weekly hours of %ork
were about one hour below the level
of July.
Production of manufactured dur-
able goods tended to decline in July.
Iron and steel fell off sharply, but
recovered somewhat in August. Non-

Atlanta. — All laid-off employes of
the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com-
pany at Rockmart, Ga., and Decatur,
Ala., are entitled to vacations with

McCoy, impartial umpire. It is esti-
mated that these vacation payments
will approximate 3100,000.
During May nearly 2.000 workers

When the company refused to pay va-
cations the AFL’a United Textile

Food processing and petroleum re-
