illegal Strike Is
Heard First Time
In Cunodo's Court

Stellarton, N. S. QLNS).-For the
first time in the labor history of
Canada, a charge of Striking illegal
ly" has been heard in a Canadian
court. David Mackinnon and Will
liam Fitzgerald, employees of the
Acadia Coal Company here, We're
charged with illegally walking out Of
the Allan mine power house. 1t was
stated that Is men employed in the
power house had quit work, forcing
idleness for the miners of three mines,
including the Allan pit, for three
days.
The prosecution was ordered by the
Dominion Department of Justice, Ot-
tawa. So much interest was mani
tested by the miners in the court pro-
ceedings that the Allan mine did not
function on court day. The pit en-
ploys about 600 men.
Magistrate William Richardson dis
missed the prosecution in the case
against MacKinnon, after John Mac
Naughton, superintendent of the
power house, gave evidence that HI
had ordered Mackinnon to leave worl
at boiler. The superintendent tes
titled MacKinnon had worked a double
shift because his relief had not ap
peared.
The case against Fitzgerald wa
deferred for judgment. He contende
he had not worked the day of tn
walkout because he was under the in
fuencc Of liquor. The following da
he did not work because he hear
everything was tied up at the mine!
He said he was opposed to the wa
the strike had been arranged.

on this one task of paramount M
portance. But while we are concen-
trating on national defense, we must
not forget that, when peace returns
to the earth and there are no more
jobs in defense industries, the Amerl-
can people will still need food, cloth
ing and shelter. Provision must be
made now to guarantee that American
workers will have jobs in peace so
that they may provide their families
with food, with clothing, with shelter
and with the other items that make
life not merely enrurable but also en-
joyable and worthwhile.
Military experts down through the
ages have pointed out the value OF an
intangible factor in war known as
morale. We know what morale is. Its
Importance cannot easily be exagge-
rated. One of the chief factors in the
defeat of Germany in 1918 was the
collapse of German morale. Here II
America, engaged as we are in all,
out national defense program, it is
vital that our morale should be at Z
high pitch.
"For that reason, among others, Il
would be wise in the extreme, labor
feels, if such postwar planning
agency as | have described were es
tablished at the earliest possible mo
ment. If the millions Of workers nov
employed in defense industries ar
worried about what will happen t.
them and their families after tn
emergency is over, it is inevitabl
that their morale will be impaired.
"But if, on the other hand, the
know that a program is being draw
up which will make it possible fo
, them to swing right into peacetim
jobs, then it will not be necessary fo
anyone to be concerned about tn
morale of the American worker"

BE sure your employer has copied
your social security account number
from your card before you leave a
summer job in commerce or industry.
This is the advice given to vacation
workers, by Glenn II. Pittcnger, man
ager Of the Youngstown, Ohio, field
office Of the Social Security Board.
He points out that temporary or
short time work in most lines Of bust
ness is covered under old-age and
survivors insurance, and that en-
ployers must report the wages and
social security account numbers of
all their employees when paying their
federal taxes which are imposed
under the Social Security Act.
