Representative Hobbs (D-Ala>

committee empowered to study the
entire situation said that such a
drastic step might be fourd neces-
sary.
The Interest of those studying the
strike problem was attracted by an
overnight development in Paterson.

apply equally to Industry and labor.
Here in Washington a union
business agent ordered back to work
Tuesday 115 carpenters who had
been called out Monday in a Juris- i
dictlonal strike at the new War De-

Finching
By NORMAN CHANDLER
T ET S say it costs your
1 1 grocer $25 to open his
store each morning. With
that he can pay his rent his
light bill his clerk hire.
How your grocer gets that
$25 is important to vou. If
NOMftAN CMANDUft hc h„ fifty cust'omers
today he must find some way to make
a profit of half a dollar from each. But
if he can manage to find txo hundred
customers he can break even if he
makes only 12? Vz cents on each one.
This may seem like pretty simple
arithmetic. However there’s an if in
it. //he can find the extra customers.
He could call them on the telephone—
at a cost of five cents per call. Or he
could write them a penny p >st card
or send them a letter. Some will re-
spond some won't.
Then he discovers a way to send a
message to a hundred prospects for a
single penny! He just buys a news-
paper “ad” and tells you and all your
neighbors about his plan to save you
money give you better values and
better service.
Now the funny part about all this is
that the penny per hundred he pays
the newspaper is what makes this
newspaper and every other paper pos-

.—
ball scores tbe market reports the
happenings in Washington and Des
Moines and Seattle.
Except for these advertising pennies
—which you remember saved you «
money on your grocery bill—'his
newspaper would cost you two or three
or five times what you paid for it!
There’s no “magic" about all this.
It’s just an American brand of penny
pinching. A long time ago we learned
that one automobile made by hand
cost five or ten thousand dollars
whereas a million cars—if they were
made and /o/d—cost only five hun-
dred or so apiece.
Making and selling all the things we
need is a sort of habit in America. A
rather good habit I feel.
But in all this thinking about help-
ing you to get the most for your money
let’s not forget about your very right
to earn and spend and live in free
America. You keep that right through
your ability to pick the right men and
pass the right kind of laws.
And since you learn who to pick
and what laws to approve through the
newspapers you can see how neces-
sary it is to have good newspapers.
If you want to define a good news-
paper you can say it is one which is
free to bring you all sides of every
question free to give you both the
good and the bad news about what is
going on around you.
Trying to decide how much such a
newspaper is north to you is like try-
ing tc put a price tag on your liberty I
And I think you'll agree that our lib-
erty and our right to govern ourselves
is a big penny's worth in a 1940-model
world.
