Milford chronicle., 1941-05-02

The National Board will shortly
celebrate its 18th anniversary. And
that isn't just a milestone in the
life of an ordinary organization.
Ever since its inception, the Ma
tional Board has been the most
active of institutions in fighting
fire on all fronts. Representing the
principal stock fire insurance COM
panies, it has surveyed hundreds of
communities, issued thousands of
reports, done policing work against
arsonists, maintained great labor
atories where all manner of com
modities are tested for fire dang
er-all to the end that the homes,
property and lives of the Ameri-
can people be safeguarded.
II is particularly fitting that the
National Board, on the eve of COM
pleting its first three-quarters of
century, is dedicating itself to
fire prevention for defense. It is
working hand in glove with the
war and naval departments. II is
redoubling its efforts to protect
industries and farms. 1t knows, as
do all thinking citizens, that fire
is an ever-present menace to de-
fense-that single great fire, in
a key factory, could waste ire
placeable weeks and months. For
fire destroys time no less than
life and property, and dollars cant
replace time.
Milford chronicle., 1941-05-02
Regulation Rampant


1t is universally admitted that
public regulation of certain types
OF industries is advisable and nee
essary, in the interest of owners,
workers and the public alike. The
danger in public regulation of in
dustry appears when 1t goes to ex-
tleme bounds.
M. w. Clement, president of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, touched on
this during the course of a long
address. He said: "The tendency
of regulatory bodies has always
been to slide away from that which
they were created to accomplish
and to invade the domain of man
agement, field for which by rea-
son of lack of knowledge and ex-
perience they are. untitled. -.
Every phase of national activ-
ity is gradually becoming subject
to regulation.
Laws are written, the motive
for which is controlled, or at least
very much influenced, by whatever
particular phase of national
thought happens to- be in the po-
litical ascendancy at the time.
Many Of them are hastily prepar-
ed; practically all create bureaus
to cover their enforcement. :. !.
the authority given these
bodies when they are created, they
almost automatically become self
perpetuative regulatory units"
The railroad industry provides
an excellent example Of this. Ev-
cry phase of railroad operation is
by government Man
agement, In many instances, has
been made into a rubber stamp
It's freedom of action Is taken from
t, and 1t is bound hand and foot
ly pOlitically-appointed officials.
rhe Inevitable result is to hamper
md discourage progress.
Too much regulation is worse
han no regulation at all. Sooner
u later, If we are TO continue our
much vaunted American reputation
or progress, the whole regulatory
Iystem must be oVerhauled, with a
'lew to restricting the power of
officials to matters
which fall properly within their

Our Part In National
Defense

Americans everywhere are eager
to do their part-and nore-in the
ail-important national defense pro-
gram. That more and more are
constantly becoming actively en-
gagged in defense production on a
widespread front is attested by the
reports of numerous American
manufacturer
A good example, by reason of its
scattered decentralized operations,
is General Motors, which furnishes
its employees as well as its stock
holders with periodic progress re-
ports on its defense production OBJ
legations, now totaling nearly
$500, 100000.
The latest of these reports re-
veals that this Corporation is
building or preparing to build both
liquid-cooled and air-cooled avi-
alton engines, parts and sub-as-
semblies for twin-engine bombers.
airplane control and instrument
items, airplane propellers, propul-
sion and auxiliary Diesel engines
for Naval use, machine guns,
shells, cartridge cases, fire control
equipment, fuses, landing gears.
electrical equipment. tank gun
mounts, dies for other suppliers,
nlagnetos, motors and many other
items of a technical and confiden-
tial nature, in addition to special
trucks of various types.
That production of these defense
items is not concentrated in any
one Industrial area is evidenced by
the following list, including only
those General Motors plant cities
in which the Corporation and its
workers are participating in the
of defense articless
Bristol and Meriden, Conn; Tar
rytown, Rochester, Lockport and
Syracuse, N. Y; Harrison, N. j.;
Md; Atlanta, Ca; Clev-
Gland, Warren and Dayton, Ohio;
Detroit. Flint, Saginaw and Lam
sing, Mich; Anderson and Indian
apolis, Ind Memphis, Tenn;
Kansas City and st. Louis, Mo-, and
Calf.
When one also considers the fact
that raw materials for General
Motors products come from every
state in the Union, we have an ex-
cellent example upon which to
draw the reassuring conclusion that
the whole country is becoming an
. Arsenal for our Democracy"

Packed with Danger

A. R. EFerson, executive vice
president 0f the New Jersey Tax
payers Association, recently made
some worthwhile comment on tax
alton in opposing a proposed New
Jersey tax against chain stores.
Enactment of such ievies," he
said, ''owuld give the green light
to all the pressure groups work
ing to overrun the state with new
taxes.
Taxes should be levied to pro-
vide revenues for the necessary
functions Of government-not to
harass a particular kind of busi-
ness. A special tax on chain stores
I. would be passed along to the
consumer and would be reflected
in the price OF food and other com
modities. 1t would be a hidden
tax on many thousands of people
in the low income people
who are not able to assume this
extra tax burden.

eiai tax on one type Of retail bus

sHecial lakes on, all retail busi-
ness. While this proposed new
chain store tax may appear harm
less TO the, chsual observer, IL

Every time1we allow a. new tax,
we pave the way for more and diff
ferent taxes In the future. That is
true OF class taxation |
The lust Of politicians for money
Is Unsuitable. II one business is hit
today, another will suffer tomor-
rev, 3 .s ,s, sat
Every tax should treat all alike.
IT. should apply to an business.
And considering the burden the
defense program will impose ON all
Federal taxpayers, there can be no
,xcMse for local governments to
Increase tax levies In any way.

LABOR LAWS THAT
ARE MAKING TROUBLE
Rr 3. 3. JONES

The Government OF the United
States -and that means the Ad-
ministration and Congress = hal
been concerned for many years
with questions and problems Of
new laws, boards, conciliators, anC
finally mediators to straighten oui
all questions of differences between
the employers and workers Of oul
country. The object of the Wag-
ner Law was to create and protect
collective bargaining" These
laws were hardly passed before the
American Federation of Labor and
new group of union men, the
Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions, engaged in bitter opposition
to each other. Workers in large in
dustries were thoroughly organized
by these big unions. The clash be-
tween them resulted in demands
from President Roosevelt that they
"get together" and work together.
This eliminated in an open break
between the President and John L.
Lewis during the last Presidential
campaign-and they don't like each
other any more.
The important point is that the
new labor laws were passed for the
purpose Of preventing and stopping
strikes and lockOuts, and for the
adjustment of Industrial relations
=. through collective bargaining
conducted by the executives of the
industries and selected representa-
tiVes of organized labor.
At the present time, Congress is
completing series Of extraordi-
nary legislation that is generally
recognized as the National Defense
Program. There has been a great
show of political unity and every
thing indicates that the country at
large approves of the unusual
laws which have been passed as
emergencies" There has been no
criticism of the way in which con-
tracts have been let by the Govern
ment to business institutions, be-
cause all questions of costs, includ-
ing wages and hours, have been
In order to protect the
Government from OVer-paying con-
tractors. These arrangements have
wages to employees based
upon the Wage and Hour Act.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the United States has always boast
ed about the loyalty of its workers
and its so-called common people"
there have been unprecedented out
breaks of strikes. Before the de-
fense factories had fairly gotten
under way the War Department es-
that more than one million
man-days of work had been lost by
strikes in the first three months.
These figures represent only a
fraction Of the tragedy that has
bee ntaking place in Bethlehem,
and many other indus
trial centers.
Congressman seem to be as puz-
zled as other folks. While there
is a disposition in Washington to
remain calm and keep cool, the
strike situation is nevertheless re-
garded as a menace to expectations
that the United States will success
fully administer the National De-
fense and Lease-Lend laws, and at
the same time preserve peace and
promote prosperity at home.
There is something very queer,
and awfully serious about all these
Industrial upsets, and there is no
use trying to minimize their i'm
portanee.
Milford chronicle., 1941-05-02
Natural Resources And War

We speak of this war as a war Of
machines. We say that the real
battlefields of modern war are the
mills and factories OF country.
All this is true-but it is not the
whole story. Behind each machine
are minerals. Iron, copper, baux-
ite, magnesium, lead, zinc-these
enter into the fabrication of every
mc6ern device of peace and war.
More than that, it Is Oil and coal
that run our machinery. Not a
plane can fly, not submarine can
go to sea, not tank can move, not
a piece of machinery In a factory
car turn, without coal or oil or
both.
Natural resources represent the
real strength of a country. And the
United States is one of the few
countries which has within its own
borders most of the natural re-
sources which are required for
peacetime or wartime production.
It is the lack of these resources
which makes the position of some
other nations so difficult.
So, when we think Of our great
manufacturing industries, we
should think, too, of the Industries
which convert into usable form our
natural resources.
These Industries have been brought
to a high peak of productive eff
cheney under the private enterprise |
system. And it is these Industries
which will provide the life blood in
sIming both our own country and |
the embattled democracies across
the seas. 1t is the abundance of our
natural resources which makes 1t
possible for us, in the Presidents
vivid phrase, to become the arsen-
al of democracy.
Milford chronicle., 1941-05-02
Safety And National
Defense

A good automobile driver knows
he must drive much more carefully
when he is flashing along at go
miles an hour than when cruising
at 80. Not only are there more OPP
portunities for accidents at the
higher speed but the accidents
themselves are likely to be more
serious.
Much the same thing is true of
our national economy. Those in
the drivers seat know that as we
step up our speed on production
for national defense the problem of
plant safety assumes ever greater
Importance.
Fortunately, industry is well
prepared to cope with this prob
lem. General Motors, for example,
which is one of the country's lar
gest producers of defense mater
ials and equipment, reports an 8
per cent improvement in safety for
1910 as against 1899. This is the
sixth consecutive yearly decrease
in lost-time accidents reported by
this organization's 80 plants and
service units.
Emphasizing the Importance of
plant safety to the national de-
fense program, B. D. Kunkle, vice
president in charge of personnel,
points out that the problem pre-
sents a new challenge to everyone
in General Motors and adds: "The
induction of new employees and
the transfer of other employees to
new jobs made necessary by de-
tense orders will require additional
upon education and in
struction as well as constant alert
ness on the partiof everyone in our
plants"
Mr.. Kunkle obviously speaks for
all industry. We can rest assured
that the men behind the wheel OF
defense will continue to
remember to drive with care"
