We shall, of course, make a place in
Our organization for every one of them, but
we wish to do it without throwing out of EN-

have worked faithfully for us ever since. This
is not going to be so easy for us as for some
others, because the Government designated
ours as an essential industry during the war,
and we actually increased the efficiency of
our organization after Our boys left to join
