Labor

Complete success or partial failure
Of the growing defense program may
be determined by the attitude Of
organized labor. Wage workers have
an unquestionable right to demand
all reasonable consideration of their
welfare in the execution of the de-
tense work. But if either of the two
major factions into which unionism
is split plans to put its ewn COMPETE
tive interest ahead oftheaccomplish.
ment of national safety, that is all
other matter.
The question is whether organized
labor is to carry on a species OF priv
ate warfare in the midst of the ma
TONS effort to insure its safety. No
labor leader of any faction can wish
to hamper that effort. .. But every
one of them should gravely consider
the danger that their factional strife
may have just such an unattended
