And a wonderful time was had
by all.
There may be phrases less trite,
but there is none more to the point
in telling the story of the opening
last night of Washington's Stage
Door Canteen. Every one inside
the BelaSco Theater, especially rem
ovated for the servicemen's night
club" had fun.
The boys for whom the canteen
was set up-the soldiers, sailors,
marines and the lads in the blue of
the RAF-had themselves whale
of a time, with eats and music
and girls to dance and talk with
and stage and screen stars to en-
tertain them.
And the entertainers, hostesses
and behind -the-Scenes workers-the
bus boys, dishwashers, sandwich
architects, etc.-had the time OF
their lives making certain that the
boys in the services enjoyed them
selves.
WEAKNESS may have descended
on some Of the volunteer workers
as the midnight closing hour neared
and shoes may have begun to feel
like diabolic inventions OF Middle
Ages torure experts. But life had
its compensations.
There was, for example, the case
Of Miss Helen Hayes, the chairman
of the Washington Stage Door Can
teen. Miss Hayes, after a long and
arduous day, dropped into q chail
in the foyer on her way home al
the end Of the evening. She sighed
with the pleasure Of weariness Il
q good cause, then wiggled her toel
contemplatively.
i've had an unfortunate an
counter with . jitterbue, z she said
And he won. But the mist ~
Miss Hayes eyes was not from
fatigue so caused.

on the policy committee. Man
agement would have none of it.
Yet the story in Dayton, as it
is revealed in Washington, is a
series of efforts on the part of
labor to prod management into
faster action. CLIO headquarters
in one instance sent out over a
thousand letters to the leading
business and professional men of
the city containing some pretty
serious charges about manufact-
urers, lacking defense contracts,
begged down in indecision and
red tape, and throwing skilled
men and women out of work by
cutting defense production. In a
word persisting in doing
business as usual when the very

Take a look at the situation in
a couple of industries in Dayton,
Ohio, as it appears in Washington,
D. c. This is obviously a long
range view, but it is the view
war production officials in the
capital have to take whether
they're considering Dayton or
Death Valley.
There are more than 1000 UNI
employed in Dayton right now,
in spite of the fact Dayton has
a brand-new government built
ordnance plant and Wright Field
is only spittin' distance up the
Big Four tracks, while Cincin-
natl and Hamilton with big ma
chine tool aircraft and war supply
contracts are within committing
distance.

Tax Expert

Here is the solution to a lot Of
worries that will confront us all
this month. How much tax must
we pay on our last years income?
With boosted tax rates, slashed
exemptions, and other changes
in the tax laws, expert advice will
be needed by many Ills.
We can recommend a man to
help. His name is Charles Bracher
and he is well known and liked
by members of the various locals
of the Dayton area. He was a
great deal of help in the publicity
work IN Ben Cromwelrs cam
paign, and we hope to return the
favor. Charlie Is located in the
Rauh building at S. East Fourth
Street. Drop in and see him with
your tax problems, his fees are
low. Let him take the head
aches and cut down on your bills
for aspirin tablets!

Needed

The middle OF January, Delco
officials came to Washington,
went to the copper section of the
Office of Production Management
and asked for an allotment of
$4,000 pounds of copper to keep
the plant going and to keep its
workers employed until the first
of March. The company then had
on hand only enough copper to
keep going three days. Copper,
as you may have heard, is a stra-
tegic material. When copper is
allotted for civilian goods man.
ufacture, it means that much
copper doesn't 60 into airplanes
or trucks or tanks or shells. In
spite of that, the OPM copper
rationing policy has been to give
civilian goods manufacturers GER
tain amounts to keep going and
to hold their labor forces to-
gether while they are converting
their plant to production of war
orders.
In this case, however, the Delco
officials couldn't offer sufficient
evidence that they were convert
ing their plant to war production.
Mention was made of the fact that
the tool room was working 10
hours a day, seven days a week,
on retooling for war production.
OPM's reply was that the COM
pany should have been working
"a hours a day, seven days a
week on retooling. The company
THEREFORE didn't get the copper
and as a result 1900 more men
may be thrown out of work and
their productive capacity lost to
the war effort till they can find
new jobs.
The corrective machinery set
in motion on this particular situa-
ton is interesting. The Dayton
representatives of the United
Electrical, Radio and Machine
Workers Union which has a con-
tract with Delco called the unions
Washington representative to 60
around the OPM and see why the
company couldn't get the copper.
The contact was made" az they
say in Washington lobbying
circles, and the report as out
lined above went back to Dayton
with the advice that the local
union get after the factory man
agement to speed UP on the con-
version effort, to get more war
orders.
Labor Takes Over

of a union taking over one of the
functions of management. This
