IF THIS IS NOT RACKETEERING
WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT?
What is racketeering in labor? If
making men pay part of their weekly sala-
ry for the privilege of holding down a job
is rackteerir.g, then wc have had that
going on in connection with jobs being
done on government projects. If promis-
ing young men, attractive salaries, and
having them pay for a series of lessens
to get them ready for a “journeyman’s”
job, is racketeering on legitimate jour-
neymen, then we have had that also in
connection with jobs in this general
vicinity.
If hiaving men pay down on'an ini-
tiation fee into the union, all or part of
the fee,'allowing them to work only a
few days, only to be supplanted by an-
other new recruit who has paid a large
or larger sum, and carry this process on
ad infinitum is racketeering, then we
have had that also in this vieinity.
And that is exactly what all 'good
union men want to rid their ranks of.
recreational life on the Denison dam read
by Secretary-Manager William O. Harwell,

pression of what we may expect from
that'source of income and the asset it will
be to the city in many ways. It should bo

a pamphlet form and placed in the handy
of all Denison people. First if we sell it

soon ki.ow abrut' it. It should be printed
in large numbers'at the right time when
photos /of the scene may be available and
scattered over the country. Already
Denison dam is being spoken of as the
recreational point of the southwest.
Boating, fishing, regattas, summer outing
place, not to mention other advantages,
will be an appealing angle to millions o1
Americans.
The Chamber of Commerce could have
hard'v picked a better mar.'t'ian Floyd O.
Babcock to be the head of that organiza-
tion. Floyd is an astute business man, an
easy maker of friends and at home in
ar.y gathering. He has a vision of whr
Denison can become and his own success
at doing things and building a big
string of stores from a small bQginning in
less than a quarter >of a century shows he
has a grasp of-trends and a krower of
values and, ability to ’pick men to work
with him successfully.

leaders serving as links in the
nation’s human chain of com.
munication, will be called on to
help acquaint rural families of
the state with the. "why” and
“how” of rationing, Director
H. H. Williamson of the A. and
M. College Extension Service has
notified county extension agents.
Leaflets explaining the ration-
ing program are being furnished
the Victory leaders, through co-
operation of the Office of Price
Administration. The OPA re-
cently announced that actual ra-
tioning of commercially pro-
cessed fruits and vegetables will
begin March 1, and retail sales
of the foods to be rationed will
be frozen beginning February 20.
In his letter to the state’s 562
county wo/rkeW, Mr. Williamson
emphasized the need for helping
farm families increase their
home-produced food supplies and
spend their food coupons wisely.
In spite of the limitations on the
purchase of certain foods, bounti-
ful home production and wise
buying Will assure well-balanced,
nutritious, and protective diets,
he said.
Point rationing will make liv-
ing and buying more complicated
to many homemakers. They will
have to figure and budget to pay
for products twice—with money
and With ration, stamps. However,
planning meals by the week will
aid in stretching both stamps and
money and in saving time, worry,
and energy.
“Rationing is for the protec-
tion of us all. It is the only way
every one can be assured his
fair share of the food available,”
Director Williamson observed.

Liquor Curfew
The Review, official organ of
the Texas Liquor Board, tells of
an ingenious and elaborate liquor
cache found in a secret room in
a Tyler cafe. The room, which
was created !by a false rear wall,
was entered through a trap door
electrically operated.
The false rear wall formed the
entrance and on the wall was a
small “whatnot” where two
hacksaw blades could be touched
to four screws connected by
wires to a motor. The motor
operated an automobile jack
which pushed out the binged
wall. After the liquor was re-
moved, the blades were touched
in the opposite ways to screws,
thus reversing the motor and
letting the hinged wall back.
Officers took 36 cases of canned I $
beer, 160 half pints and 70 pints
of liquor.
