Forrestal told the committee that

and management to meet and
overtop quotas assigned to the
factories, with schedules for every
division of the work laid out on
score boards, and competition
between workers for honors and
rewards offered the working
soldiers Of the factory front. And
he also asked that machinery be
set up whereby individual men in
the factory could submit ideas
and suggestions for more rational
production, which might then be
spread throughout industry.
This plan has now been ac-
cepted in toto by Philip Murray
of the C. I. o.
The labor problem has been
most worrisome. and there have
been two approaches to a solu-
ton Of it. The first was by legal
restrictions and force. Actually
\ bill passed the Senate but be-
came bottled up after that.
What President Hoped For.
The second possibility involved
. change in the mind of labor
and management. That was
what the President hoped for.
On the side of labor. As far as 1t
Is represented by the c. I. O.,
there Is now acceptance Of a new
attitude. Mr.. Murray has un-
conditionally renounced strikes
for the duration Of the war and
he appeals to the millions of the
workers of his unions to CO.
operate voluntarily with man
agement in the Nelson scheme.
And with 1t, Mr.. Murray calls on
trade union leadership and the
rank and file of workers to &C
cept responsibility for winning
the war, asserting boldly and
truly that there Is no class or
group in the United States who
have more to lose from defeat
than the workers.
There are elements in the
United States timid Of any in
ternal social changes during this
war. They might agree with Col.
Herman that defense will not
win the war" when defense Is
thought Of in military terms.
But on the domestic front, they
still have the defense mentality.
They want to preserve the pre-
war status quo. especially as 1t
applies to the status of workers.
Many even go farther; they hope
to use the war as q means Of
restricting the power and in
fluence Of organized workers.
Struggle for New Status.
There are many criticisms that
can be made Of trade union prac-
tices; many have been made In
this column. But he is the vic
tim of a self imposed blindness
who closes his eyes to the out
standing fact of Goth Century
society: the struggle of workers
all over the world for a new
status.
What is 1t the workers want?
And what has their status been?
In our predominantly middle
class society their status has been
that Of a kind of alien in an in
