The new MEANING
OF PICKETING

Picketing of a strike-bound industrial
plant originally was intended to show
anyone who might be working there, or
seeking work there, that a strike was in
progress Picketing was intended as
demonstration against possible unfair
practices, low wages or other labor grlev-
anceS.
AS practiced by both Clio and ALL
these days, picketing is violent thing,
intended to keep workmen out of an in
dustrial plant at all costs, by any means.
1t is a weapon which denies the Ameri-
can right of man to work if he wants
to work.
Any man or any number of men work
ing in a plant have the right to go out
on strike if they want to. By the same
reasoning any man or any number OF
men in the plant should have the right
to remain at work if they want to. P ick-
citing as it is practiced today attempts
to deny the right.
It is the greatest fault of the labor
unions under dictatorial leadership that
they have taken up and practice the very
abuses they accuse the employers Of prac-
ticing. The unions have become pressure
groups which no individual laborer dares
oppose. They have warped the right to
organize into the practice of bludgeon-
ing men into joining their ranks.
In the Bethlehem steel strike, the Clio
attempted to prevent those who want to
work from going to work This should
not be necessary if the CLIO had maj or
ity support among the laborers them
selves. If not, the strike should not be
tolerated

partment of Commerce have now
reinforced private information on
the means taken to loot the con-
quered countries with velvet I'm
gers. With military control over
the banking and currency Of con-
quefed peoples. the Nazis simply
debase their money in terms OF
German marks, thus enabling
themselves to buy" in conquered
lands anything they want at any
price they choose to set. That in
cludes not only producer goods, but
mines, factories and farms. Huge
army of occupation costs" are be-
ing assessed on all countries which
have been given the advantage"
of German protection. Exports
are completely controlled from Ger
many. Banks and private safe-de-
post boxes were simply looted.
The very people who probably
hoped to save more of their proper
ty and position by yielding rather
than fighting are now being de-
spoiled.
Though they are being robbed by
modern methods, yet it is robbery.
Though they are being enslaved in
gilded shackles, yet it is slavery.
Even those still technically free
have only the freedom of a lapdog
on a leash.

WASHINGTON, Mar. - Since
there are indications that not a
few business men of various sizes
are coming down. to washington
and offering suggestions like How
about giving my boy Able a nice
dollar a year job in the govern
ment for the war-I pay all his
expenses it might be in order
to tell few things about what
these dollar a year jobs are, II you
can get them.
Nobody knows exactly how many
dollar year boys there are in
Washington right now. Civil Serv-
ice says there aren't more than
half a dozen outside the new de-
Tense setup which has nearly $50,
about equally divided between the
productions. purchases and prior
ties sections. But Treasury Depart
ment has been hiring experts for a
long time, getting some Of them for
nothing, others for SIS, $50 or $25
a day and ON up to $4,000 year.
And other government departments
have high-powered advisers and
consultants on call at little or MOTH
ing year, all the time.
The strangest thing about the
so-called wartime dollar year
men, however is that they don
get dollar year at all. They
get SIS q day, the standard gov
eminent subsistence rate for years
plus travel expenses, all except
Knudsen, Hillman ana Stettinius
who get absolutely nothing, their
jobs being the hardest.
That SIS L day doesn't begin to
cover the average dollar q year
mans living expenses in Washing
ton Most of them have not brought
their families TO the capital and
they therefore batch it in swell
hotels where the two rooms and q
bath suites run SIS day and up
without meals. Then there are eX-
tras like pants pressing, charged
water and ice and long distance
good nights to the Riddles.
For the most part. these dollar
year men work darned hard
They don't care about hours, anC
they're all for getting the job done
Some of them, on loan from theil
corporations, are trying to run theil
own jobs at the same time, givins
these regular jobs one day weel

Admiral Land suggested this

WASHINGTON, June 20
Many maritime observers here
are convinced that the British
merchant fleet may be reaching
the minimum deficiency required
to supply food and freight OF
war to the beleaguered islands.
Thus they explain the Presidents
efforts to scrape together a q
000,000-ton shipping pool to aid
the democracieS.
Some rough surveys even
reach the conclusion that the
British merchant fleet today is
equivalent to little more than
half the pre-war fleet. This is
seen although the British have
more tonnage in service now than
they did on September l, 1889.
Here's how the shipping men
figure it out:
The empire started the war
with something like 100000
tons of cargo ships of all kinds.
The navy requisitioned 100000
tons right off the bat, leaving
13,500,000. The British then
picked up around 100000 tons
of Norwegian, Dutch, Greek, and
other shipping, and up to now
have built about 100000 tons of
new ships. That brings the
grand total to q, 100000 tons.
But wait. The latest British
announcement of losses indicates
but does not say outright
that the Germans have destroyed
100000 tons.
American shipping experts fig
ure that the remaining 15,500,-
600 tons is reduced in efficiency
at least go percent.
They mean this: British ships
bearing precious rubber, tin, and
other raw materials from the
Near and Far East must go
around Africa instead of short
cutting through the Mediterran-
can.
Ships have to wait for convoy
on entering the danger zone in
the Atlantic. Then, when they
get in convoy they can travel no
faster than the slowest ship,
which may be six to eight knots.
Finally, damage to British ports
complexities loading and unload
ing.
All these delays add up to one
huge delay, a great reduction in
efficiency. Nobody knows exact
ly what that reduction is. Most
American shipping men figure
it's at least so percent. That re-
duces the present British mer-
chant fleet, for all practical pur-
poses, from an actual 1880, 900
tons, to the equivalent of 7,200,-
600 pre-war tons--little more
than half the tonnage at the start
of the war.
Many experts say this Is an ir-
reducable minimum. A further
cargo ship reduction would pinch
the British people and reduce
the munitions of war to the dam
ger point. That, however, is de-
batable, although few experts
doubt the danger point is near.
This background from the
shipping experts not only ex-
plains why the President sud-
denly asked Admiral Land of the
Maritime Commission to scrape
together 100000 tons for the
British and their allies, but also
explains the hullabaoo about
conveys and the British pressure
for more ships. II may also ex-
plain why we suddenly decided
to extend our sea patrols.
And-more important perhaps
than all these-it might reflect a
new policy on the part of the
British navy, in the view Of some
shipping men.
Many American naval men are
known to feel strongly that it
would be better TO increase the
protection Of conveys, and con-
centrate on German submarine
bases and resting ports, than to
