Finney Taken By Death Sunday i Albert F, Finney, 55, diecbat his home in Springfield, Sunday at 2:30 a, ‘in. after an illness o f two days, suffering from pneumonia. The deceased- was born near Selma on_ March 9, 1888 and had been a res­ ident of yiark county most o f his life. For the past twenty yeax*s he had been employed by the Interna- jboost.of ten and eleven cents an hour instead o f the eight cents an hour they originally demanded and agreed to ; and the operating employees ' nine cents an hour -increase instead o f the four cents originally offered. Neither Stabilization ■Director Vin­ son nor President Roosevelt has yet explained how the ten or eleven cent an hour wage, increase granted can ! be called non-inflationary when-the whole controversy and' threatened . “strike was participated by their for­ mer decision that an eight cents an hour- wage increase .would bring on inflatio'n, wreck the national economy prolong the war1, and endanger final v icto ry .. After demands for higher payments were rejected, the House last week unanimously passed the Mustering- Out pay bill to give each person dis­ charged from the armed services, un­ der the rank o f Captain, one hundred dollars mustering-out pay for less-- than 60'days service, and three hun­ dred dollars if ih service more, than 60 'days. -The Senate had previously passed a .similar bill fixing the mus­ tering' out payments at. from two hundred to five hundred dollars, ac -1 cording - to length and location of ' service. At the conclusion' of World War No. 1, each discharged,veteran was allowed sixty dollars, regardless ■qf length- or place, of service, A Conference Committee has been nam­ ed to. settle the differences, between th House and Senate versions of ■the measure. It is predicted the House provisions; will probably prevail, as many representatives o f the soldiers are fearful that-too high mustering out payment might endanger future claims for adjusted compensation or pensions.- • j WJT UtU.

The new members o f the A show-down in the House, is ex­ pected’ some time this week or early next on the Soldier’s Vote bill The House; Elections Committee has re­ ported out an. amended versions 'o f the bill previously adopted 1 by; the Senate, which, provides for the Sets retaries of Navy and War to receive from the various states ballots for delivery to members o f the overseas fighting forces, to be voted and re­ turned for checking and counting by the regularly established election of­ ficials of. the states This plan would- permit the men and women in. the armed services to- ballot on all can- *didates—-national, state and local— ■ just as if they were at home. The Administration forces, who .' have been hacking another Soldier’s Vote Bill that would permit oUr fighting men to vote only for President, Vice •President, Senator and Representa­ tive .in Congress by a ballot requir­ ing each soldier voter to write in the names of candidates for whom he ..Was voting, have, been attempting to block consideration o f the"“T)roadeF vote bill reported by 'tbe~Cff!Trfnittee The legality of the short “ write-in” Federal ballot backed by the Admin­ istration would be most doubtful, with the grave constitutional ques­ tion involved as to-whether such bal­ lots could be received and counted by the states, On the other -handj pro­ ponents o f the short ballot idea in­ sist that the.sending o f full state' ballots overseas would be cumber­ some and unworkable^ resulting in many soldiers being unable to .vote. To "a man up a tree the whole situa­ tion resolves itself into this: The short Foderal ballot plan under, the control of Federal officials, is undoubt cdly unconstitutional—although usu­ ally the Constitution means hut little to New Deal planners—and the a- doption o f such a law would be of ho benefit to the soldiers if the bal­ lots" could not be legally counted. On the other hand i f the 'short “ write-in” Federal ballot can be delivered to the American forces overseas there is no reason why a little larger state ballot cannot be delivered just ns easily, if state authorities will co-op­ erate—and Heaven help the State official who would refuse to co-oper­ ate. Personally we feel' that every man and woman in American uniform should be permitted .to vote for every candidate for public office from Pres­ ident to Coroner—not just to vote for President and to write in the mines o f the candidates fdr Senator and, Representatives—if they can remember them—ns would be re­ quired under the questionable short ballot plan, ’ Given Ohio Motorists The following appointments were board are G.

This will mean a lowering j for Manasco, Ala., Dera O’Neal’s only reply was: “ Who in hell,' makes $2,400 on h farm 7" Commenting further the “'Farm Bureau said that food would be glut­ ting the market if $2,400 were an av­ erage, annual wage for farm labor. The $2,400 wage ceiling, would hit only superintendants or supervisors of specialized farm managers where special' seed crops for farm or gar­ den are produced or corporate farm management. The order was issued by War Food Administrator, Marvin Jones,, on or­ ders from the War, Food Administra­ tion. More than $2,400 a year for farm management, brings on infla­ tion but $12 a day o r $100 a week or $400 a montl if in a war plant, does not lead to inflation, according to New Deal economists. The meat of the*in,tent of .this or­ der is not so much to control or put, a ceiling on high farm wages, which are a myth, but to get a floor under farm wages, now regarded by New Dealers as far from what they ' can[ be under government controlled' prices. With the ending of the war labor leaders see an overflow o f labor for industrial plants, especially when the boys get home from jthe front. Labor wants to freeze out the ; so called rural worker in city plants to get him back on the farm. To keep' farm labor satisfied organizers have suggested $35 to $87.50 a week, as a fair weekly-wage for', all kinds of farm labor: ' .- It is agreed in Washington circles that the Roosevelt administration' is to force a bottom for all farm labor wages on a cash basis just as some lines of business now, hotel and res- ning committee are urged to attend.
