The 4O-Hour Week Lie

The old saying that when the National Association of
Manufacturers takes snuff the Seattle Times nightly
in its editorial column continues to hold true.
Recently the Times wrote that the abolition of the
and hours laws would increase production by 20 per
because it would make 48-hour week possible.
That bare-faced lie and the Times knows it.
The federal wages and hours prohibit
week longer than 40 hours But it does provide overtime
rates after 40 hours That's what gpes the NAM and the
Times but they dare not out openly say they
did, their most recent campaign which aimed directly the
war effort, would collapse night
The editors of the Times consult their col
and get plenty of evidence that the plants

Three Years of War

Three years ago the world
was on the verge of the
greatest catastrophe that
has ever befallen it. Here in
ewark we seemed a long
way removed from the Eu-
ropean scene where Hitler
was conveying threats to the
British empire in general anc
Sir Neville Chamberlain in
particular. We all know the
rest of the story. Later, Hit
ler's mighty army plunged
into Poland and his death
dealing bombers smashed
defenseless Warsaw.
We have found out, in the
three years since those first
bombs fell on Poland, that
this was no isolated argu-
ment on which we in Ameri-
ca could turn our backs. We
have been in the war our
selves almost a year. We
have an army of over five
million men-the largest in
our history-and our goal is
said to be ten million.
For those of us who have
not been called to the COL
ors, there have been only
minor sacrifices. We can't
buy new tires for our auto
mobiles, and sugar is not so
plentiful. Some forms of
business have suffered; 9TH
ers remain about normal. As
for personal sacrifice, that
is something for which we
must all be prepared. Even
though it may be three
thousand miles away, war is
all that Sherman said it was.
Let's be ready to play what
ever role is assigned to us,
without complaint.

Do Not Discourage Them"
Remember
Our Heroes

Newark is participating
with whole-hearted enthus-
iasm in Salute Our Heroes
Month" Such is the desig-
nation for September. Dur
ing this month the nation is
being urged to salute it's
fighting men by the pur-
chase of war stamps and
bonds ir unprecedented
quantities.
Those of us who remain
on the home front can do no
less than show our patriot
ism through the purchase of
sbonds which are so essential
to victory.
The slogan is: "Buy a bond
to honor every mothers son
in service" This does not
mean that we are being ask
ed to purchase bonds in the
name of any soldier. We are
buying them for ourselves,
to help our government pro-
tect us.
Theaters of the country
are cooperating and will
serve as the spearhead of a
campaign to meet the billion
dollar war bond quota. At
9 o'clock Tuesday evening,
we were all asked to pause
briefly, to give a salute to
our fighting forces. By the
whole-hearted cooperation
shown that evening we gave
a demonstration of our pa.
triotism and loyalty. Buy
ing bonds and more bonds is
the realistic way to prove
we are cooperating.
