UNION SHOP ASKED

The union is asking for a union
shop. Company officials charge
that the union is demanding that
they discriminate against non
union employees in order ID force
them into the union.
The company has $4,000, 900 in
defense contracts for the manu-
facture of wheels for army AM
navy trucks which are to be as
sembled in Detroit.
The employees have lost sl0S,O0O

long as II has Canada, Australia.
South Africa, India and the other
component parts OF the empire TO
defend.
England would never surrender
its fleet because that would mean
! surrendering its dominions.
And its dominions are far more
important actually and potentially
than the mother country.
England Is merely the capital of
the empire and the capture of the
capital, although most disturbing
and altogether improbable, would
no more mean the conquest Of the
British Empire than the capture
of our capital OF Washington by
the British in 1873 meant the con-
quest or defeat Of the United
States In that war.
So while England stands, the
English fleet will he engaged in
European waters.
And even IL England should in
conceivably fall, the English fleet
would still be engaged in defend
ing Canada and the imperial do
minions so that by no imaginable
set of circumstances could any for

tack the eastern shores of the
United States.

THE Pacific coast Of this CONT
4 nent is becoming more impor-
tant every day.
The recent census showed that
the percentage Of increase in pop
ulstion Is vastly greater on the
Pacific coast than In any other.
part Of the country.
Furthermore, the records show
enormous gains In productivity and
industry there.
And finally the international p0-
lItIcaI and military situations give
to tho west coast continually In
creasing Significance and impor-
lance.
1t Is not enough TO say that In .
generation the Pacific coast will
be the most important coast of this
continent.
In some vital respects II Is the
most important coast now.
1t Is difficult. for the people Of
the eastern shores of the United
States TO realize these plain facts.
Theodore Roosevelt's reminder
that "there are two coasts to this
continent" was made a generation
ago.
Yet Il Is still hard for sOme Of
our people to. recognize the truth
of that statement and the propri-
ETY. of the rebuke 1t conveyed to
eastern provincialism.
THEY will recognize that truth
i more, however, when we get
into the present war.
The war, as far as America Is
concerned, will be largely In the
Pacific Ocean.
The coast Of the United States
most menaced will be the Pacific
coast.
The offensive operations OF the
United States will be mainly in
the Orient from west coast bases.
The Hawaiian Islands and the
Philippines will assume immediate
strategic Importance.
The ability OF the United States
10 protect itself from invasion will
depend almost entirely on the for
midableness of its defenses In and
bordering on the Pacific Ocean.
Looking at the whole situation
practically and realistically, we
must appreciate the plain fact that
the danger of attack on the east
coast of this continent Is nom
existent.
The navies and air fleets of
Germany, Italy, France, Russia
and their subject states could not
transport and sustain troops for an
east coast invasion of the United
States,-even IL the British En-
plre were entirely out OF the pic
ture.

STRIKE MAY SPREAD

The Motor Wheel strike, now ir
its ninth day. was declared more
serious than some believe today
by Gov. Murray d. Van Wagner

Motors and Chrysler plant de-

KNOWS DEFENDANTS

Drysdale. who is no longer police
chief. said that although he
knew the defendants. charged with
operating handbooks in Crosse
Pointe Park and paying protection
to the prosecutors and sheriff S
offices. he did not know what busi-
ness they were in.
He said he knew a handbook
operated off and on at $50 Bar
rington road, visible from in front
of the Park police station.
"When state police raided ii
in March of 1899 didn't you have
occasion to find out what it
was?" asked O'Hara. Didn't
you talk to Garska about it ?"

Foot Arches

TWIN legged girls should chuck
Il their spiked heels, come
down off their stills. enjoy a
solid. comfortable foothold when

Elevated heels interfere with
the free circulation of the blood:
the tissues and muscles of the
legs become emaciated and de-
pleted.
The arches OF the foot weaken
when the heel is not the proper
height. That is why MANY
women who have worn spikes
for years are miserable when
they wear lower ones; the foot
has adjusted itself TO the un.

Another by-product OF the
