FRUITS OF ARBITRATION

(From the Washington, D. c., Post)
Pay increases for 5000 employees of
the Capital Transit Company will be
particularly welcome at this time of
the year From the public viewpoint,
however, the method by which these
increases were attained is of greater
significance than the small additions
to many workmen's salaries.
Differences between the company
and the local branch of the Amalga-
mated Association of Street, Electric
Railway and Motor Coach Workers
were settled by an arbitration board
which conducted hearings for more
than a month. The result is typical
of what can be accomplished when
management and labor lay their cards
on the table and seek reasonable ad-

Generally people are happier doing
the things in which they believe, even
at the cost of much hardship and SUI
fering than they are when yielding TO
pressure that destroys the things IN
which they believe.
So it's safe bet that the American
people WILL have Happy New Year,
because they will stand solid for the
principles for which America stands.
They won't be bluffed, frightened or
cajoled. They won't back down. They
will go ahead, paying whatever price
may be required.
And because they won't back down
or give way they will be Happy
thrice happy.
And as for the hideousness OF HIT
lerism, the iron heel of dictatorship,
that, too, in due time shall pass away
and be gone from the face of the earth
forever.-C. M. w.

PLANNING FOR FUTURE

Necessity of training skilled work
ers now for work in the future is en-
phasized by the American Federation
of Labor in its latest survey of un-
employment.
Today" the federation says, "the
United States is producing more goods
on a 40-hour week than we produced
in 1929 on a 48 or 50-hour week, and
we have fewer persons employed. Our
labor supply is adequate to meet all
defense needs provided that employers
plan ahead. We need only adequate
time to train men for the type of work
required.
"Those who fail to plan ahead for
their labor needs have no right to cry
labor shortage if trained workers are
not ready for them"
Farsighted employers will be doing
a service to themselves and the ma
tion by needing the federation's words
and planning ahead"

GETTING MAXIMUM
PRODUCTION

Maximum production in the indus
tries of the nation is of the greatest
Importance of the day and hour in de-
fense preparedness and in domestic
production plants The way to get the
maximum production is to keep fac
tories and plants running full time.
More shifts of workers is the first step
in the solution of the problem Three
shifts, in every shop and factory where
there is imperative need for more pro-
duction, should be emphasized.
This most obvious solution is en-
dorsed and vigorously advocated by
Colonel Fleming, administrator of the
Wage and Hour Division of the De-
partment of Labor, who told manu-
facturers meeting in New York that
labor relations rest with them. The
overtime problem will fade out where
enough workers are employed and fac
torires run at full capacities under
sufficient shifts to keep the wheels
turning. 1t is up to labor and man
agement to agree on plans.
Responsibility for the most impor-
tant element in national morale rests
with the employers as well as with
the workers. The government has
never attempted to conduct labor re-
lations 1t has laid down the rules in
the National Labor Relations Act and
insisted that those rules be followed
There have been restraints on labor as
we'll as on management. The law was
written for guidance and control of all
parties affected by it. AS Col. Fleming
pointed out to the manufacturers, it is
good business and good citizenship to
observe the rules as plainly set forth
in the law.
"You are risking business when you
ignore them. Industry's largest Gus
toner (the government wants them
followed in letter and spirit" he said

Denmark under German occupation
is today entrenching herself nation
ally against increasing Nazi pressure,
consolidating the inner resources of
her people, the American Friends of
Danish Freedom and Democracy re-
ports. To anyone who knows the
Danes, their strong religious instinct
whence springs their intense devotion
to democratic ideals, their will to CO.
operate, and the cultural basis under
lying the amazing productivity which
made Denmark pattern for work
ing democracy, other than this could
not be expected.
The Danes resent the suggestion
that they need new order" They
had new order, dating back to their
previous defeat by Germany in 1864.
Any new order," Danes declare hope
fully, will come with the victory for
democracy when the process of history
repeating itself will have to be con-
summated.
Already the manner in which the
Danes are meeting their present plight
parallels in some respects their atti
tude after the war of 1864 when Den
mark lost her Slesvig provinces to Bis
marck's Prussia. At that time, recov-
ering from shock they soon began
setting in order what was left of their
national house whats lost without

tional slogan.
From then on, until Denmark was
again invaded by Germany on April
9th last, the consolidation and
strengthening of both her spiritual
and physical resources saw the flower
ing of Denmark into the kind of So
ciety envisioned by Bishop Grundtvig:
"Where few have too much and fewer
too little, made up of intelligent,
cooperative and contented farm and

WHAT NEXT?

Developed especially for public hous-
ing projects, a new "three-in- one"
stove has recently been designed by
engineers of the Anthracite Industries
Laboratory, in cooperation wit h
United States Housing Authority tech
nicians. Occupying only slightly more
space than an ordinary kitchen range,
the stove serves all household cooking
and water-heating purposes, and by
means of an attached fire-box and
hot-water coil, will adequately heat a
six-room house.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

production reflects the culture of the
people. And the Danes, who recently
took to national singing upon an un-
precedented scale, have revived the
song they sang after "a:
"Turn once more the heath and
moorland over
Where sheep nibble at the heather
lean,
Till their acres stand again with
clover
Cattle grazing upon pastures green
Fill up ignorance and bury
Selfishness and greed beneath the
sod,
Of the weak and soft evoke people
That will bend it's will alone to God y
The Danes, who had consistently fol-
lowed paths of peace and neutrality
and who neither geographically nor
enthusiastically were able to resist the
Nazi invaders, far from giving up, are
falling back upon the same spirit
which served them so well in past
crises. As means to unity and
strength they have taken to song.
Over a million ngbooks-enough to
reach every household-were found
one morning in Danish mailboxes
Distributed free by the Postoffice De-
partment they were the gift of anony-
nous donors. Community sings (called
Allsings) followed.
On one occasion as many as 100000
turned out in parks and squares. Even
sophisticated Copenhageners took to
song again. One hundred and fifty
thousand stood in the Faelledpark in
the capital and sang. An overflow OF
$4,000 filled smaller parks. There were
no disturbances of any kind. No one
was run in. The overflow of emotion
ran down cheeks instead. Neverthe-
less community sings were soon pro-
hibited by the Germans as mot good
for the people,"

Social Security Board.
"These numbers must be supplied
for all workers, including those doing

tax is paid in January, covering the
final quarter of 1540," Mr.. Stratton

"It will save much time and effort
if the employers will copy the name
and number of each worker exactly as
the information appears on the social
security card. Workers who do not
have cards should get them before
completing temporary work and should
make sure their employers keep rec
