Synthetics Expanded

Meantime. the production OF
synthetic tires is being expanded.
Tire manufacturers expect to-
build between 25,000.0OO and
100000 tires by the end or
1913 This means that every one
of the 27.000.000 passenger cars.
in the country may get at least
one tire.
In addition. other sources OF
rubber are being explored. The
Rubber Reserve Corporation has
made arrangements with the
Pan-American Always TO speed
some crude rubber from the
jungles of Brazil by air.

Artist, Finds Time
To Draw Daily

The creator of the comic strip
''The Spirit" has learned in the
Army that he does not have the
strength and physical prowess OF his
spectral character who appears daily
and Sunday in The Star.
VIII Eisner, 25-year- -old cartoonist,
has been put through the PAGES Of
his basic training at Aberdeen, Md.
There, one of his attempted feats
landed him in ditch filled with
five feet of water.
Pvt. Eisner, who was inducted in
May, was trying the tricky task of
going hand over hand on rope
stretched across the ditch.

The move was in accord with decf-

American meeting last winter.
The sending Of information con-
corning ship movements was spe-
officially forbidden, as well as news
considered false or designed to dis
turb the order, tranquility and

SIowdoWns Are
Out !!

The method of the FBI to
catch slowdowns in war plants is
revealed in a recent article in
the Milwaukee Journal.
At the end of his first day a new
worker, in a midwestern factory
had turned out more units than
was usual in his Department. A
big burly veteran approached and
told him he had better slow down
on the morrow. The next day
the new worker raised his output
some more and was given another
warning. The third day the new
workers record was still higher,
"You are out" said the veteran.
$50 are you," said the new man as
he showed his FBI badge and
slipped a pair of handouts on MI.
Showdown.
There are a few "slowdowns"
in Dayton plants. These are not
necessarily trying to be disloyal
but are simply taking a selfish
point of view.
When the Local Unions and
County Councils went on record
of adopting UE District No. z,
Beat The Schedule" Project we
were not simply flag waving"
We were and are sincere.
The shop committee is in con-
currance with the War Production
Council at Delco, Ute Local 755
and wish to go on record, that
any attempt at Showdown" will
be reported. We also feel a plant
which is 1000 on War Production
should not have conscientious OBJ
j~ectors on the payrolls and If
Delco management discharges
such employees this Local Union
will put nothing in the way of
management.

Murphy

Many interesting questions r
being asked about Foreman Muir
ply of Frigidaire Department 315.
It seems that Murphy has taken
on the job of supervising all three
shifts.
The prime question on hand is
how much of a boss Murphy is
at home. In order to keep up with
his duties on all shifts, he will
have to move his family into the
Department.
If Murphy can get away with
it, that would be a big thing, but
somehow we doubt that the real
boss of the Murphy family is
Murphy. That's the way it usually
goes, flunky at home, makes big
shot in plant! Wonder why Con-
fucious never thought of that?

LET LEADERS LEAD

1t is somewhat amazing to hear prom
inert Americans boisterously proclaiming
their loyalty to this country and, at the same
time, criticizing practically every undertake
ing of the present war.
1t is inevitable that civilian rights in
this country must be curtailed if the war is
to be successfully prosecuted. Those stand
ing on the side-lines can easily stir up The
smOldering discomfort of dsgruntled citi-
zenS. 1t is easy enough to assert that every
thing is wrong and to proclaim that any UNI
tried policy would have secured greater re-
suits.
The American people must be intelli-
gent enough to appreciate the necessity Of
following the strategy of their military and
naval leaders. These men will make mis-
takes, of course, but they have been, Train
ed for their present task and they represent
our only professional warriors If they are
not good enough for the great emergency
ahead, the nation does not now have time
to select and train new generals and admir-
ais.
General George C. Marshall, Army
Chief of Staff, recently asked for the conf
dence of the people of this country, declar-
ing, I'VE cannot spread our cards on the
table without hazarding a massacre and
the possible loss of a war. For just the same
reason military leaders cannot reply TO the
criticism of ill-advised and, often, self-seek-
ing individuals.
In conclusion, we urge every loyal Am
erican TO resolve that from this day forward,
the constituted authorities of this country
will have unlimited support in all undertake
ings which relate to the prompt, vigorous
prosecution of the war; Every American
in the armed forces of the nation is entitled
to the knowledge that the people at home
are, without doubt, one hundred per centum
behind the national war effort To give
less is to proclaim our disloyalty and 20 de-
sert the brave men who fight in our behalf.

IsHWAsHING AS A YARDSTICK'

How good is business in Key West?
How does it compare with business of few
yeas ago?
II we use the dishwashing job as
measuring rod, our guess Is that business
now is at least five times as good as it was
few years ago, for at hat time dishwasher
could be employed for SIS a week; now his
weekly stipend is S25.
The Citizen, on sundry occasions has
pointed out that advertising sometimes is
the very best type of news. IF man or wo-
man wants to buy this or that and sees it ad
vertised at an attractive price, it is pleasing
news to him or her. So it was that an ad
vertisement in The Citizen, about the pay
ment of $25 weekly for dishwasher, turn
ed out to be the hest kind of news for Key
West, because it was given publicity of
favorable nature throughout the country
Stories carried by papers related,
either directly or indirectly, various cir
cumstances that have led to Key Vests
thriving business status today, and every
story said something about this city's i'm
pOrtance as a defense area. And all The
stories were outgrOwths of frOnt-page ad-
vertisement that was published in The Citi-
zen on December 3, offering $25 week for
a diShWaSher .....s. n..t5-,. 80 ~
It turned out that that offer evidently
was rot considered as exceptionally good
by the dishwasher fraternity in Key West
In other words, many dishwashers heard
about the job, but were so gainfully employ
ed there was not any rush to accept it. The
fact is there was no rush at all, which gave
Judge William v Albury, OF Monroe Coun-
Tvs Criminal Court of Record, who had
read the advertisement, the opportunity to
show clemency to defendant who said he
was ready and anxious TO go to work.
Judge Albury told the defendant, Henry
Cogswell, that he would take him, Cogs-
well, at his word The Judge said he re-
called the dishwashing job that had been
advertised in The Citizen, so he called up
the advertiser on the telephone, learned
the job was still available and obtained it
for Cogswell, whose sentence was suspend
ed, and who is now wsahing dishes at $25
a week, five times as much as was paid
dishwasher in Key West not so very long
ago.

WASHINGTON In WARTIME

workers will have to be broken
can be learned in a short time.
Labor hoarders and labor pi
rates will have TO be ferreted out
and their practices stopped. The
few remaining prejudices against
women workers and the sectional
prejudices against Negro workers
will have to be broken down.
Since all war workers from
now on will be hired by the u. S.
Employment Services, its offices
will have to be strengthened and
manned by capable persons fully
informed of all the problems in
hand.
Selective Service will have to
be revamped considerably with
far more power in issuing dirce-
tives in the hands of the national
organization and far less in the
heretofore practically autono-
nous local boards.

By JACK STINNETT

+ WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 - OF
all the recent shake-,Ips in our
/ wartime government, it seems to
me that by far the most import
/ ant is the appointment of Paul v.
! McNutt as virtual dictator of man
/ poWer.
| No one could read the IS points
/ of President ROosevelt'S direc-
tive recognizing the War Man
! power Commission, with McNutt
! as chairman, without realizing
that it could well be that McNutt
controls the destinies of more of
us than any other single man in
/ the United States.
/ First, it should be understood
that McNutt has no power to
draft labor. That will take addi-
tional legislation. But through
his controls of hiring Through the
now vitality important U. S. EN-
ployment agency and of Selec-
tive Service, his power might well
amount to just that.
! However, it doesn't require
speculation to see just how i'm
portant to every one of us Nc
Mutt IS 10 be.
Using only figures that McNutt
himself has given out recently,
the scope of MS lob becomes clear.
Before the end of next year,
about one-half of the total popu-
lation of the United States, and l
do mean between so an 20 million
persons. will be applying our
selves in one way or another to
the war effort, or will be DEEPEN
dent on those who are. And that
has nothing to do with volunteer
workers who are giving extra
curricular hours to civilian de-
tense tasks.
A year ago, there were approx
imately 100000 persons directly
or indirectly employed In war
work. Today, there are close to
100000. In a year from now
there will be at least 100000
more.
- Because the armed forces will
siphon off around four or five mil
lion (afid accidents, deaths, ETC.,
will take more about five mil
lion new workers have to be found
in the next II months. Adult 1000
900 of these will be women, to
bring the amazing total of women
in war industries to somewhere
around 100000. About a million
more farm workers will have to be
found (although not necessarily
on a 12-month baSis.)
Skilled workers will have to be
trained. Old persons and chill
dren will have to be worked into
the picture on such paTttfme sche-
dulles as they are able to stand.
