MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN

Striking laborers here, no matter what
the differences of opinion over the methods
embodied in their walkout, are finding no
argument over their demand for higher
pay.
The strike has been conducted in an
orderly manner, thus avoiding the usual
alienation Of public opinion, and most peo-
pie are willing to agree with the laborers
stfiat Here is no good reason why similar
work in Miami, and elsewhere, should be
worth 22ls cents an hour more than it is
here ax
Navy officers are not Interested in the
pay scale, so long as the work proceeds, and
representatives of the four struck COM
panies seem perfectly willing to agree that
the Iaborers should get more than their
present 40 cents an hour.
BY walking off the job and refusing to
go back until they get the raise, however,
the laborers are drawing criticism from the
navy, the contractors, and from many of
their own union brothers.
The navy and contractor side of the
picture simply is that the laborers are slow
ing down projects vital to national defense,
and are weakening their own cause as far
az arguments for an increased pay scale go
in Washington
What Washington decides about the
/ pay boost, they point out, will be based on
living costs here, and the fact that the work
is being stopped will tend to prejudice the
labor board against, rather than for, the
increase.
On the other hand, from the side of the
laborers, themselves, it cannot be denied
| that the work stoppage is expensive to the
individual families. Forty cents an hour
amounts to $500 day, and the laborers
must remember that even if they get the
raise, it will take Is days to earn back
the money they lose in every 10 idle
daye
OF course, if they go back to work
without the raise, the money is gone for
good-$3.20 every day, $4,000 every 10
days.
Many of the laborers' friends think it
would be easier to eat and argue than just
argue.

WHY WAR DESTROYED PEACE

The war in the East continues, with
Germany reporting break-through and
Moscow asserting the contrary
No man knows what is happening, ex-
cept that men are being slaughtered. The
chatter of machines and the clash Of. me-
chanized armies may capture the magma
ton but it is human beings who are doing
the dying
That mankind has no better way to
settle its differences is reproach to all
people, including those of us who live in the
United States.
1t is ours to admit that this republic
refused to take any steps to lineup with
peaceful nations in plan to prevent war
by making it crime, punishable by con-
certed action of powerful, peace-loving
peoples.
i To say that the United States worked
for peace, during the early twenties and
'thirties, because we foolishly disarmed and
swallowed lot of bunk about nations
never using war as an instrument of ma
tional policy, is merely to remind us that,
like the British and French, we were sucked
in by aggressive, self-seeking nations.
It is foolish to talk of peace unless one
is willing to serve, if necessary, as soldier
of peace. It is idle to sign non-aggression
paets if one is not ready to do something
about enforcing non-aggression pacts. 1t is
absurd to dsarm without being willing to
cooperate in the defense of the disarmed, if
they are threatened by sudden might.
Peace is possible in the world only if
those who want peace possess the power to
enforce it. Toleave peace to the mercy and
decision of nations that worship the gods of
war is as foolish as possible and yet that is
/ what the democracies of the world did. To-
day they are paying the price of folly.

singing, her lovely voice husky,
full OF warmth and appeal.

The audience which had come
to watch the broadcast sat spell
bound, leaning slightly forward,
eager to catch every word. to see
every gesture. And in the con-
troll room several men also lis
tened intenfly, looking out
through the thick glass partition
at the dark-haired, brown-eyed
girl. who was SO slim and so
small, and yet SO full Of vitality
and charm.
"Comrnercialized g1arnorl" said
one of the men.
"Yepl" said another. "And.
good lord. how that gal can put
a song overt"
Marie went on into the final
stanza of her song, swaying a lit
tie, her hand clasped tightly
against her breast. Singing, sing
ing, as though her heart were ac-
tually a-grieving.
"Oh, Lawdy, send him back.
