/ Might Be
| |Wrong--BUT|
by P. G. Stromberq

~ We ASOA SAAAVS1A
An odd commentary on the
current epidemic of strikes is
the fact that among the ranks
of labor can be found some of
the most severe critics. This
provides the only bright spot
in what many of us see as the
greatest and most dangerous
challenge to our democratic in
stitutions.
Lest their attitude might be
misconstrued many national
leaders are extremely hesitant
and careful in discussing the
strike situation. If they could
only find opportunity to rub
elbows with some good average
workers and learn first hand the
unfavorable reactions to the
strikes they would soon know
that coating is unneces-
sary. They would be amazed
and encouraged to learn that
much of the best and most
patriotic thought comes from
this type of real Americans.
They would be impressed with
the fact that these men recog-
nize that labor's salvation and
security is and must be second
ary to the security of American
Democracy.
l know several men init
mately whose opinions / value
highly. These men have been
in the ranks of labor all their
lives. They have good jobs and
good homes. Several Of them
have sons subject to the draft.
I have talked the situation over
with them knowing that / could
find reactions typical of the
higher grade Of workmen. And
their reactions, / was assured,
were a combination of their
individual convictions and i'm
pressions of fellow workmen.
These men want more for
their families and for the future
security than they want for
themselves. They are ready to
accept any assignment or sac
rifice necessary to the national
defense effort. They are COM
pletely and definitely pro-labor,
but they have no patience with
the imminent loss Of prestige
due to errors of radical leader
ship.
One man whose son is sched-
uled for army service in the
very near future, expressed the
view that ALL INDIVIDUALS,
young and old, labor and man.
agement, married and single, be
drafted to work for the country
at $21.00 month.
There is every reason to be-
lieve lat least to hope) that
the saner and more intelligent
men in the ranks of labor will
ultimately sway the group poll
cies. Once that happens we
will find labor doing its all
important part in our national
defense. The gains of labor
under the Roosevelt administra-
tions are tremendous. Things
for which labor had struggled
for years are now law. These
gains can be cemented and i'm
proved upon in peacetime II,
when the world again becomes
peaceful, labor has earned and
enjoys public confidence and
goodwill.
How much better for the
country, for labor and for
democratic institutions if there
were no strikes? How reassur-
ing it would prove if, as a
result of labor's own attitude,
our program of national defense
and aid to democracies would
forge ahead with all speed and
efficiency?

EXPANSION OF
CRAB INDUSTRY
IS IN PROSPECT

A ten-fold expansion of the Ameri-
can crabmeat industry is in prospect
in event an appeal of the American
Grab Packers Committee for increas-
ed import duties upon Japanese can
ned crabmeat is accorded favorable
action by the u. S. Tariff Commits
sion, Senator George L. Radcliffe, of
Maryland, declared in Washington.
Senator Radcliffe, author of res
olution directing the Tariff Commits
sion to conduct an investigation in
to feasibility for levying increased
duties on imported crabmeat, head
ed a parade of senators and represen-
tatives who appeared at hearing
to remind the commission that sea-
food is ga necessary and important
part of our food supply in an emer-
gency when we cannot depend upon
our competitor, Japan"
Leading the delegation of inter-
ested packers was Sterling G. Har-
ris, of Beaufort, S. c., former East
ern Shore Marylander and chairman
of the American Crab Packers Com
mittee, who declared that the domes-
tic industry Cannot survive the
deadly competition caused by decreas
ing wholesale and retail prices of
canned crab selling on the American
market"
The American Grab Packers Com
mittee is seeking fifty-percent in
crease in the tariff on imported can
ned crabmeat, now set at fifteen
per cent of declared value. The in
crease would set the duty at twen-
ty-two and one-half percent.
Mr.. Harris pointed out that clos
ure of his own plant at Port Royal,
S. c., had been forced by "this I'M
fair foreign competition" and as
serted that the 400 persons thrown
out of employment represent only a
small portion of the number affect
ed throughout the United States.
Evidence of alleged unfair competi-
ton included charge by biochemical
experts that king crabmeat produced
by japanese canneries and sold in
America is known to contain arse
mic of only one point less than the
tolerance level", Or limit of the
drug allowed under regulations of

An operator sits at the keyboard
of the meaO electric calculating ma
chine, the only one of its kind in
the aUorld.
Calculating machines of various
kinds are familiar equipment in banks
and offices, but the new machine diff
fers radically from them not only in
appearance and principles of opera
ton, but also in that it performs COM
plicated calculations and returns the
answer in written form without any
attention on the part of the operator
other than writing out the problem
on set of typewriter keys. 1t is con-
structed entirely of standard telephone
apparatus, using for it's computing
elements relays and crossbar switches
such as are used to connect subscribers
in the most modern type of dial ex-
change.
There is only one of these calculat-
ing machines in existence. 1t is in
stalled in small room in the Bell
: Telephone Laboratories in New York
City. One need not go to this room
to use the machine, however. Instead,
the operator sits at teletypewriter,
which may be located at any conven-
lent place, and presses keys to record
the numbers and to indicate what op-
erations are to be performed.
This machine recently was demon
strated by its inventor, DR.. G. r.
Stibitz, before meeting of the Amer
lean Mathematical Society at Hanover,
N. II.
