DEFENSE INDUSTRY.

CBy L. H. Korndorff. President Federal
Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company
At midnight last Wednesday an un-
justified strike was called at our ship
yard at Kearny, New Jersey, by Local
16 of the Industrial Union of Marine
and Shipbuilding Workers of America,
in violation of the unions recent
agreement outlawing strikes in our
yard for a period of two years-the
strike having for its sole purpose the
enforcement of the union demand for
closed shop.
In our opinion the issue involved in
this strike is of vital importance to
this nation and the best interests OF
all our citizens. That issue is whether
the American worker shall be per-
mitted to retain his traditional free
dom of action and be allowed to de-
termine for himself whether or not
he shall belong to labor union.
In our judgment no union should be
permitted to use the present national
emergency as a club to attain its owr
selfish ends through forcing industry
to accept the closed shop. If the unior
is successful in this instance, SIM
liar contest is almost certain to follow
in all other Atlantic coast shlpyards
soon spreading to defense industries
in general.
The closed shop has no legitimate
connection with national defense-lt'

She has just completed her first pic
ture, Life Begins for Andy Hardy"
and according to early reports is
a natural.
Patricia Dane was born in Jack
sonville, Florida, the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. j. r. Byrnes. Her
father was an insurance man and
both he and her mother were very
proud of her. When she had gradu-
ated from the Andrew Jackson High
School she decided to go to college
and the following fall found her
enrolled as freshman at the Uni.
versity of Alabama.
At the end of her junior year,
with characteristic impulsiveness
she concluded she had had enough
of college and went to New York
to become a dress designer. Soon
afterwards she got job at design
ing and modelling clothes, and after
a year and half at this decided
she would like to see what Holly
wood was all about.
Almost Immediately her. striking
beauty was noticed and when some-
one suggested she try for q part in
"Ziegfeld Girl" she did-and was
promptly chosen from thousands of
applicants all over the country. But
she was not used to being at work
at nine o'clock in the morning and
so was subsequently let out Of the
cast. In Life Begins for Andy
Hardy" she has demonstrated a
beautiful girl may also be consci-
entious, "brainy" and talented.
Miss Dane, among her other ac-
complishments, might be classified
as an inventor. She had turned ~
late at the studio two days in a ro1.
and the assistant director asked b.
to make special effort 70 arrfro
early the following day. She -!
planned that she used an alarm. bat
that it didn't always worn.

looking very sprightly and jaunty,

greater unity between us and the
countries to the south with which we
expect to do business.
He stated that the United States
while attempting to encourage better
international relations, cannot send its
statesmen and representatives into the
South American countries looking for
business with those representatives
unable to speak the language of the
country.
He thought it unnecessary to teach
the dead languages in our schools
but to teach the South American
languages in the interests of business.
He stated that a delegate from
ECUADOR at the recent International
convention at Denver, criticized the
attitude of the United States in de-
handing that South Americans speak
English rather than having our citi-
zens study the language of his
country.
Governor Mcleod also spoke on in
ternational goodwill and thought it
was fine idea as proposed to allow
older members to take the classification
OF "past service" and give younger
men an opportunity to fill the vacated
classif1cations. He also stated that
men elected to Rotary had become
better business men through the
teachings of honesty in business and
advertising.
He stated that Americans and Ro-
tar1ans in particular should study in
ternational problems and at the close
OF the war would be better prepared
TO cope with the peace and reorgani-
zat1on problems. "The best informed
people in Amreica are the subversiys
interests who are doing all in their
power to overthrow the American
government and have studied and
worked to this end" he said.
The governor met with the commit
tees at the Community Center in the
afternoon and listened to several re-
ports besides advising on subjects of
Importance. He was here officially for
his first visit since his selection in Port
Arthur as district governor.
AT the evening dinner meeting at
the Forest Hotel, Rotary visitors were
introduced by Vice President Bucco-
wien presiding in the place Of

WHAT OTHERS SAY
POKING FUN AT THE
BRASS HATS.
Minneapolis Tribune.)

\NAlAAAlCdkOno 4iAbuAlC(
Our sympathies go out to Mayor
Austin G. Engel of Little Falls, Mimi,
who has been trying to persuade war
department officials that Camp Ripley
would make an excellent year-round
training ground for troops. 1t seems
that the nub of Mr.. Engel's trouble
is the refusal of these same officials
to believe that Fort Ripley does not
lie within the Arctic circle.
While he was painting metero-
logically accurate and admirably dis
passionate pictures Of our Minnesota
winters, the war department brass hats
were wondering what the igloo situa-
ton was in Little Falls, and whether
Minnesota blubber had the proper vi
tamins The mayor declared that our
outdoor WPA projects continued
through the winter with rare inter-
ruptions due to cold and snow, but
there was a cynical CLINT in the army's
eye which said that the glaciers must
be very bad, and that whaling settle
ments make wretched military centers
Whether Mr.. Engel or anybody else
can ever convince the proper authori-
ties that Camp Ripley is not an Eski-
mo retreat we do not know. The i'm
preston that Minnesotans drive dog
sleds to work in winter and that wal
rus-hunting from a kayak is their
favorite sport is one that seems not
easily dispelled.
Our winters, however, will stand
close scrutiny if the army care to
dispatch a polar expedition to investi-
gate them. Have the generals, we
wonder, confused Little Falls with
Little America? Or are the muck and
mire of the southern training camps
in winter, an indispensable of soldier

campgrounds along the canoe routes
by stating the fireplaces built for the
convenience of the public were filled
with fShheads. entrails and whole fish
and left in sinking condition. This
is deplorable and should be remedied
but how, is the question. It Is utterly
impossible to send forest officer with
each of the canoe parties to show
them, officially, the error Of such pro-
ceedings. Signs are everywhere to
"leave campsites clean," but these
signs seem to have no effect and like
the fellow when told the ship was
sinking, said he did not care, cit Is
not my ship" "It Is not my woods"
sentiment also prevails with some of
those visiting the border lakes. The
forest service and the newspapers
have attempted to educate people on
the fallacy Of dirtying the routes and
impressing the people with the fact
that it was their routes and their
woods they were communicating.
In the Duluth mans letter to MARTY"
he stated that Val Saxby's guests
were no better in the woods than they
were at home. 1t is not alone Saxby's
guests that are offenders and why he
singled these out Of the general trend
is a mystery. The government is
spending money to make it a con-
venience and pleasure to travel in
the roadless area. The traveller Is part
of the government and If he destroys
the property, he is destroying his
own. Ely is spending much money
every year to bring tourists here as
can be seen by the financial statement
printed in another column. Our ex-

aim is purely selfish, namely to en-
nance and perpetuate the power of
the union.
Furthermore, we believe that a right
on the part of the union to dictate
tnat an employe shall not be per-
mitted to work in our shipyards un-
less he maintains his union member
ship in good standing will seriously
interfere with our efficient operation
OF the yard and with the successful
fulflllment of our defense contracts.
Such a right to dictate is thoroughly
undemocratic and contrary to long
established American principles of in
dividual freedom of action. If these
principles are to be fundamentally al
tered and the closed shop made a
mandatory national labor policy, ii
should be brought about by acts OF
Congress.
When one thoroughly believes in the
right and soundnesS of his convictions
and furthermore that these convictions
are distinctly in the public interest
there can be no compromise with
principle. Accordingly, this company
could not conscientiously accept the
recommendation of two members con-
stituting majority of division of the
National Defense Mediation Board
one additional member dissenting. that
this company voluntarily accede to the
union demand for a closed shop.
The Secretary of Labor certified
this matter to the Mediation Board
while collective bargaining negotia-
lions with the union were still in
progress. There was never any agree
ment on our part to abide by the
recommendation of the Mediation
Board.
We will be naturally sorry thus to
give up our shipyard, which has estab-
lished a remarkable performance
record, but we sincerely believe that
proper solution of the vital princi-
pies involved in this strike is of far
greater moment in carrying forward
the all-important national defense eff
fort and in safeguarding the welfare OF
this nation than the fate of any single
shipyard or company.

perience in this section for more than
fifty years has been that the average
tourist is fairly decent fellow and
pays for what he gets, sometimes
more. When he wants to write q letter
home, he buys q postal card and con-
veys his message "am having a good
time, wish you were here" and does
not come into your front yard to skin
the birches for material to write on,
or smash up cabin floors for fire.
wood.
Neither does he break into your
cabin. eat up all eatables and then
carries of your bedding, kitchen
utensils, lamps, furniture, saws. ham
mer and nails. etc., to furnish a cabin
he is building on the shores Of the
same lake or elsewhere. Neither does
he shoot holes into your boat or canoe
and before leaving, mess up your
cabin. The larger part of the cabins
in out-of-the-way places are left un-
locked and groceries are left enough
to sustain life in the luckless way
farer who might become lost. In usual
conditions there also are wood and
matches enough left to start fire
to brew cup Of tea or coffee with
sugar and canned milk on the shelf.
Years ago, it was very unusual to find
either a house in town or a cabin In
the woods locked. When, what is
often spoken of as organized society
came to the benighted but honest
jewellers in this section of the country
people began to lock their doors and
take the hen coop in nights.
Everything cannot be laid to the
tourist, viz. the denuding Of your
outside Christmas tree and decorations
and lights. Reading the story Of the
Duluth writer would create the i'm
preston that only tourists, Boy and
Girl Scouts are travelling the canoe
routes. The party over the route just
ahead of yours is responsible for the
mess. This applies for the entire sea-
son and those in charge of the parties
and the guides should see that camp
sites are left clean and sanitary for
the following party. There are people
who believe that laws are only for cities
and towns and do not apply in the
out-of-the-way places. "LAws are
made for the other fellow and not fol
me and especially when am in the
wilderness" This attitude causes
trouble and sooner or later will catch
up with you. Be decent wherever you
ere.

Games to Ely.

Ely will play Cook here Sum
day afternoon in the opening
round of Range league play
offs, and Eveleth has forfeited
its final game of the regular
schedule to Ely.
Virginia will play at CHS
holm Sunday in the other half
of the playoffs competition.
This arrangement was COM
pleted at a league meeting in
Virginia last night, attended by
Jimmy Buckley and Al Banks
of the Ely team.
The forfeiture by Eveleth,
agreed to only after two hours
of heated discussion, gives Ely
tie with Chisholm for first in
the standings.
John "Homerun King" Glavan, star
third baseman, will be lost for the
playoffs series, for Wednesday he broke
toe while working in the Zenith mine.
A cross bar weighing several hundred
pounds dropped on his foot.
Manager Fritz Banks said Joe Novak
would probably be moved from the out
fled to third, with Ed Grahek taking
Novaks position.
In the drawings for the playoffs Ely
took first place, and Cook, fourth, which
automatically paired them in the series.
Chisholm was then paired with Vir-
ginia.
The place and the time for the finals
will not be selected until Sundays
winners are determined.
Ely won both games from Cook dur
ing the season, and is a strong favorite

however, is the darkhorse team of the
series.
Umpires will be Luke Karakas, Ev-
