Labor's Huge and Imperative War
Job--Keep Eighteen Men at Work
To One Fighter; To Play Vital Role
Here's Dramatic Picture of Labor's Job in the World
Battle for Human Liberty-United States Now World
Arsenal, Pouring Out Supplies to All Allied Armies.

has been to the effect that there must
be no strikes and no stoppages. The
A. F. of LIS gesture toward labor
peace and in the direction of declaring
a moratorium on battles for the union
shop show something of the deep con-
viction that winning the war is the
greatest issue confronting the nation
and it's workers. Coming from the
CIO side of the labor picture are the
emphatic declarations of Philip Muir
ray, who is generally conceded to
mean what he says when he talks.
Since Hitler started on his orgy
of conquest, American labor has
understood the basic issue-free-
dom or slavery. 1t knew what
Hitlerism meant when it saw the
go down one after another, like
ninepins under the impact of an
insensate ball blasting its way
down the alley.
And when the issue came to the
United States in actual combat, labor
knew how grave, how commanding and
all-important is the business of keep
ing eighteen men at work for every
man who fights.
Production Paramount Job
Unless the eighteen keep on work
ing, without let-up or showdown, the
Niagara of munitions and supplies
will falter-the tools of war will not
be at hand-and the army, the navy
and the air force must sag and falter
in their front-line job.
In a sense never before true, this
war mobilizes and commands everyone
and the job of firing shell or a bullet
or a bomb starts in the workshop
where those eighteen must toll so that
there can be final delivery from the
muzzle of those vital messengers of
death to dictatorship. Since only or
ganization can be effective, that lays
down the great job of American or
ganized labor in this war.

By CHESTER M. WRIGHT

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). - The
gigantic war job of American labor
and the key burden placed upon it is
shown by this startling statement:
1t requires 1S workers in industry
to keep one fighting man in the field!
Nothing else drives home the enor-
nous and vital role of labor with the
dramatic punch contained in that
simple statement.
Of course there is no absolute ac-
curacy about the figures of 18 to one.
But it is the best estimate available
and probably conservative, since some
estimates run as high as 25 to one.
Estimates of ratio of workers to
fighters in the first World War ranged
from five to one to nine to one, but
none ran higher than nine to one. So
that, on any reasonable basis, this war
puts upon labor more than double the
burden placed upon labor in the first
World War.
u. S. Now World Arsenal
More than that, in this war the
United States-the workers and the
factories-are pouring out supplies
for every allied army British, Rus
sian, Chinese-in an increasing stream
In these figures there is the key to
the grave concern of the President
over continuous production, the fear
that drove Congress to the verge OF
enacting the Smith bill--and the de-
termination of organized labor itself
to find machinery that will operate to
end all stoppages until the war is won
1t is probably the case that when
the war is over it will be found that
the unity of feeling and conviction in
labor's own ranks constituted the
greatest factor in preserving indus
trial peace and continuous production

CHICAGO, July II CUP - A
double -tarrelled incentive spurs
Larry French of the pace-setting
Brooklyn Dodgers to retain his po-
sition at the top of the major
league pitching ratings.
The inspirations are a bonus and
revenge.
French was termed washed up
by the Chicago Cubs late last Au-
gust and peddled to the Dodgers
for the waiver price. He wasn't
much help down the stretch and
when contracts we're sent out this
spring Larry was offered S8,500 in
contract to the $4,000 he drew
last season. He refused TO sign. FL
nally, Dodger President Larry Mac
Phail reached a bonus agreement
with the pitcher basing his earn
ings power on the number Of in
nings he pitched.
When Brooklyn went into the
final of a four-game series with
the Cubs today, French had hurled
n 2-3 innings in winning 10 games
without defeat and already earn
ed more than the basic salary he
was offered originally.

last season, explained: Il got off to
bad start this season l snapped
out of it recently, but despite my

95 points below last year at this

Because of his weak hitting early
in the season, DiMaggio was booed
roundly by the fans.
Naturally, / don't like to be
booed," he said. But it doesn' t
bother me as much as you'd imag-
inc. / realize that the fans have the
right to boo anyone they wish
umpires, players or even managers.
And 1 appreciate that the fans and
the game of baseball have been
swell to me in the past So, / can
stand little booing now, if I can
