Industry Faces Cuts

AS the Government swings into its program of
national defense, industry is beginning to comprehend
that the year 1912 will not be question of profits and
loss but more likely of continuing disseminating
operations
Leo M. Cherne, executive secretary of the Research
Institute of America reports that the OPM has
piled list numbering thousands of FIRMS which will
have to retrench close their doors result of
raw materials starvation This means that priorities
put into effect in connection with defense production
will inevitably eliminate the supply of certain
teras essential to the preservation Of other industries
Mr.. Cherne fears that many business face rigid
prorities that will sharply reduce manufacturing in
1912 price controls to limit competitive methods and
positions conservation program to cut down the
number of styles, sizes and varieties of the items
manufactured increased taxes including the probable
doubling of the social security taxes, and possible
compulsory savings program to drain off purchasing
power to erect barrier to initiation.
While we unable to clarity the predictions of
Mr. Cherne, there is doubt whatever that business
will face increasing difficulties in 1912 The restric-
tons will work hardshps upon those industries that
produce non-defense items This will present serious
problem to industry and labor, resulting in
employment and considerable shifting of jobs, and
inconvenience buying public accustomed to the idea
that money will get them anything

Every Citizen Must Decide

Under the system of government that now obtains
in the United States the chief executive of this republic
three years and half Under the constitution Of the
nation, the President is charged with the conduct of
foreign affairs. Our foreign policy has likewise been
approved by the Congress of the United States
If, unfortunately the United States should become in
voved in before January l, 1915, the commander
n-chief of the armed forces Of the country win be
Franklin D. Roosevelt. There is no way of getting
around this fact Consequently, patriotic Americans
will cooperate with the President in connection with
the defense program, and if necessary the war pro-
gram.
The fact that some dssentent citizens attempt
ing to sabotage the morale of the nation with captious
fault-fnding and the ndiscriminate peddlng of all
kinds of rors does not change the attitude Of loyal
Americans. When the nation faces emergency, as
this country faces today, the people who believe in
the American system of government will support their
duly elected officials. They have no other choice,
except to support the enemies of the United States
either by word of mouth or by action.

Civilians Suffer Most

resulted in the deaths of civilians than soldiers
according to official figures recently released in Brus
sells.
There were 10000 civilians killed, while the num-
Der of military dead only $500. Soldiers wounded
numbered $685. but official figures have been
given for the civilians who were wounded. Warfare
has certainly changed when nation in the midst of
modern fighting loses civilians than soldiers.
The Belgian figures reveal that approximately
100000 Belgian soldiers captured This indicates
that casualties in Belgium where the small army
overwhelmed, were less than thirteen per cent of
those engaged

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. l6.-A
plan for maximum production in
maritime transport of war materials
and supplies for the defeat of Adolf
Hitler and his allies has been ad-
vanced by Harry Bridges to end
West Coast front strife.
Mr. Bridges, c. I. o. leader, even
proposed installation of labor-sav-
ing machinery, long bone of con-
tentoin, because, he said. Hitler
ism and Fascism will not be defeat
ed without complete national unity
and maximum production in all
vital defense industries"
I'VE want to give Bridges every
credit due him for his plan to Sc
cure maximum production of the
docks" said Frank Foisie, president
of the Waterfront Employers Asso-
citation of the Pacific. He deserves
It,"
Joint Council Proposed.
Mr.. Bridges proposed that a joint
council be established. with the In
ternational Longshoremen's and
Warehousemen Union and the Wa
terfront Employers Association of
the Pacific Coast each naming a
representative, and the third dele
gate be appointed by the Maritime
Commission. Mr.. Bridges is presi-
dent of the I. L. w. U.
Final approval by both the union
and the association awaits working
out of specific details
The longshoremen, however began
to put the plan into effect last Sat-
urday, when they assembled and
heard union leaders term the United
States fleet "the first line of battle"
We've got to give 1t service"
union leaders declared. THE union
has been fighting the employers but
we are no longer fighting the en-
ployers for the duration"
Bridges Plan Summarized.
Mr.. Bridges plan. in brief, follows:
"The council shall Immediately
provide for the introduction
and utilization to the fullest extent
VI lIlc Val lOuS lOi Ills dIlO Oy pcs VI
longshort labor saving machinery.
Arrange for the best use of dock
ing facilities in order that docks
shall not become congested.
Study the present costs of load
ing and discharging ships and
make recommendations as to the
most economical method of opera
ton.
Survey and recommend the best
methods Of realizing continuous
operations during blackouts and air
raids as far as possible -.
Study and recommend the best
methods of properly guarding termi-
mails, docks, ships and cargoes
against acts of sabotage and pilfer-
ing; improper or unsafe stowage OF
cargoes; fire hazards. such as smok-
ing on ships and docks, and for de-
lection and exposure of any fifth
column elements"
Mr.. Bridges also proposed suspen-
sions of working rules that interfere
with maximum production in load
ing or unloading war materials and
supplies aboard ships.
