His is the type Of thinking

lack in our army with the eX-

Why isn't johnson IN on the

End the 4O-Hour Week

End the 4O-Hour w eek
THE administration is carrying water on both
i shoulders.
On one shoulder is bucket of socialistic politics
On the other shoulder is bucket of patriotic
goodwill
This is extremely dangerous.
1t is also not at all conducive inspiring confidence
Without confidence on the part of the people IN the
Administrations snge-mndedness the war cannot be won
A CONCRETE instance:
"A While the administration rightly urges the workers
to exert every ounce energy produce material
of all kinds it still retains the 4Ohour week provsos of
the Wage-Hour and WalshHealy acts
Now 20 hours week means eight hours day and

There can be no teamwork between social pro-

men and bosses alike work on 90 to !Zhour BASIS
That men should be paid GOOD WAGES and COL
LECT OVERTIME is, of course, conceded
But every worker, every industrlallst, every poor
man, every rich has EQUAL stake in this war.
1t is to preserve that which have ALL achieved
TOGETHER for 80 years
WYE ARE working now-ALL OF US-to preserve
w ourselves, our families ways Of living and
thinking and our freedom to labor when and where we
will We are working for VERY LIVES.
Therefore it is time to insist on 4Ohour week
1t is no time to insist ANY specific hours per
week.
The in the army in the navy and in the air

Plan to Raise
Soldiers Pay
Called Blot
Service Is an Obligation
TO Community
BY HUGH s. JOHNSON

By HUGH s. JOHNSON
NOV comes a bill TO double
y the pay of nOn-commlSsioned
soldiers in our new and rapidly
expanding army. 1t now ranges
from $2l a month for the first
six months, upward TO much
greater figures in the higher
non-commiSSioned grades.
We already pay our soldiers
several times the actual pay
received by men of most other
armies.
If you add the increased cost
of the best diet, shelter and
clothing of any other troops,
allowances for dependents and
later pensions. bonuses and the
like, our army costs many times
AS much per man as that OF any
other army in history.
All this as 10 care and con-
Sideratlon for the welfare OF our
military and naval personnel IS
not more than should be OK
pected of such a country as ours.
But this business of raising
base pay from ST 10 Si2 per
month with Other grades and
pay rates IN proportion Is smelly.
Al least il has "A sort OF chicken
