'DIME AN HOUR FAD"

Apparently there has come about
a sort of dime an-hour-increaSe'
fad because the Go demanded
and secured from another industry
the iron and steel industry-an
increase of 10 cents an hour. OF
course the respective conditions
governing the two industries are
not comparable on such a basis.
Also / find by consulting de-
partment of labor records that the
General Motors industry is now
paying the highest wages of any
leading industry in the nation. Its
average for all men in car and
body plants is, l learn, S105 ar
hour.
Other industries in the nation
exclusive of the automotive indus
try, range in wages from slightly
over. 80 cents an hour down to
about 49i2 cents an hour. Thus
sutomotive pay is far above what
are admittedly good wages in
other lines Of work.
II becomes apparent. therefore
that wages and working conditions
are not the real issues involved in
this threatened strike. and II is
time the Congress and the coun-
try learn what are the real, under
lying motives behind this and the
other strikes which are now SC

babies aimed directly at the light
cast by the fire bombs we were
trying to extinguish.
We heard them coming but had
no time to duck for cover. The
best we could do was to flop on
our faces in the street and pray
or curse. as the case may be. until
rending blasts accounted for each
of the six bombs.
Mueller and some others who
were carrying the wounded out OF
the house and placing them in an
ambulance were flung to the side
walk by the blast. Mueller. for
tunately. suffered only banged-up
elbow out of it. He was more
concerned about his suit, which
will unouestionably need a trip
to the cleaners.
There was a glare Of flames
through which the full moon
glowed blood-red throughout the
raid. Bathed in this eerie lighting
effect. we spent the time until
daylight with shovels. picks, pumps
and sand-bags helping the air raid
precautions squads cope with the
fire bombs.

FEARS HEIGHTENED

My fears Of these results have
been increased by the facts which
seem to exist in connection with
the mediation of this threatened
disruption of defense work in the
General Motors plants, in ship
building on the Pacific Coast and
in other important defense indus
tries.
These mediation negotiations of
the General Motors dispute have
been in complete deadlock and
may continue so until prejudiced
partisan interest is eliminated from
membership Of the board.
First there seems 10 be the mat
ter of wages in which a fiat de-
mand is made for a 10 cents per
hour increase in the wages now
paid by the General Motors.

But Mueller and I had no time
to worry about cracked walls or
ceilings. High explosive bombs
which-and this is extremely un-
usual preceded the incendiaries
scored a direct hit on the adjoin-
ing house. trapping four women
and one man beneath the debris.
We heard them screaming under
the shambles the bomb had left
in its wake and dashed out to tear
at the rubbish and extricate the
bleeding, dust-covered victims. We
carried them into the house where
we were staying.
Mueller took the role OF a ply
stefan, caring for the wounded,
while I, with a couple of other
men, dashed back to the street
as we heard the pop" Of fire
bombs bursting.
There were literally hundreds of
them and as we dashed for sand
