pairs per hour for three-hour period as being too high and impos- sible to attain. MT. Marchiando contended time study showed 155 pairs were the average. He added the company refused to change the standard, however, and as a conse- ouence this would mean less pay for the women unable to hit the higher standard.
 He said the company apparently could see no justification in chang ing the standard. He said 400 work CTS stopped work this morning in sympathy with the stitching room employees. 2
 A statement of the management of the footwear plant issued today follows:
 Tuesday, May 26th, the employees nj enc department of the U. s. Rub- Der company plant stopped work. The dificulty concerned a piece rate which affected six operators.
 Approximately four hundred of the employees, about half of whom are working on war production stopped work. No meeting is being held between the union and man. agement at present"
 MT. Marchiondo said some who were making life-savings suits for men in the armed services wished to qnuit work in sympathy, but the Local AS, U. R. w. A., would not permit them to do so because the work Is vital.
 There were no indications an ad- justment would take place this afternoon. At noon no conference had yet been held and indications were the situation was at Q stall mate.
 The strike actually started last Friday, but was short then. It oc- cured Monday again and involved more than 1t had Friday, but to- day it broke out in full force.

End Front Biggest Military Question
Industrial News Review

The second front has long been the biggest
military question it is getting bigger fast The
plain truth is that serious cleavage is developing
between Soviet Russia and the balance of the United
Nations The Russians definitely feel that they have
borne the brunt of the fighting long enough, and
that it is time for England and the United Ma
tions to do something concrete and effective.
Wendell Wilkes recent visit to Russia was OBJ
viously made for the purpose Of finding out just what
Soviet military and governmental leaders think
ing. Mr. Willkie had long audiences with Stain and
Molotov, and with number Of high-ranking Russian
Army men. He made visit to the 'front.' and talked
with rank-and-file Russians So it is highly signfi-
cant that he at once issued statement in which he
advocated the establishment Of second front at the
earliest possible moment that our military leaders
will approve" He then added that some of these
military leaders may "need public prodding."
The attitude of the Russians is certainly under
standable The Russian people, military and civilian
alike, have made sacrifices that deserve the adjective
"incredble." According to Moscow accounts, the
Russian Army has suffered 100000 casualties in
killed, wounded and missing. Sixty million Russians
are in which at present are occupied and con-
troled by the Nazis Aid from the United States and
England has fallen short Of the total which was an
tcipated, and Russia has terrible lack of food
clothing, fuel and other necessities.

ation have deliberately killed tens of thousands of

Arizona Wars Against '|War Time"

The Phoenix Chamber of Commerce is sponsor
ing movement to return Arizona to Mountain Stan
dard Time and end the useless Inconvenience caused
by War Time which in winter drags grumbling work
ers and school children out of bed at dawn.
Regardless of the fate of the statewide effort to
turn clocks back hour Tucson Schools in effect
return to Standard Time today, opening at 10 instead
of am. MWT. The change is made because educa-
tonal authorities reached the conclusion that the
theoretical benefits to be derived from War Time had
failed to materiaze Instead of saving electricity
and fuel setting the clocks ahead under the Admin
istrations recommendation brought higher utility
bills in winter In addition, illness among school
children increased considerably due to exposure to
early morning cold and improper diet caused by
pupils and parents remaining in bed so long it was
impossible to prepare and eat adequate breakfast
War Tine so far discover has proved
absolutely useless and has resulted in widespread
fusion Instead of practically all local business houses
opening and closing at uniform hour as they did in
former years, each firm now opens and closes to suit
its individual need or convenience.
Everyone agrees that nature is a wonderful
thing, and War Time is against nature-human and
otherwise. Chickens have continued rising, eating
and laying in their own standard time. Cows horses
and other servants of mankind have followed their
eternal routine undisturbed by Presidential decree
Under Standard Time, peoples hours aligned as
closely possible to the laws of nature and habit
War Time has sent few people to bed an hour earlier
or succeeded in yankng them from under the covers
an hour earlier without prodigious effort of body
and spirit
We have heard no one complain about any sacri-
flee demanded by the government which serves
useful purpose in winning this war But we have
heard lot of complaints about how early o'clock
comes these chilly mornings. With no Victory Gar
dens to occupy citizens time after work hours for the
next six months, there appears no excuse for main
tanning War Tine so-caled emergency measure"
this winter. Rather than being faced with a hard
campaign to return Arizona to Standard Time we

hailed protectors of personal rights or at least
given the title of "saviors of sweet slumber"
Of course, we know the early bird catches the
worm. But the cat which goes to sleep early fails to
catch any rats Even with the threatened meat
shortage we have not yet heard anyone express a
desire for nice mess of worms but lot Of people
would like to aid in eradicating the rats-Hitler,

Russian men, women and children. In some sections
Russian authorities have found it necessary to con
demn part Of their own population to slow starvation
in order to provide sufficient food for fighting men
and necessary factory workers. The courage Of the
Red Army is beacon light in the long and bloody
history Of war. Never have there been finer and
more desperate stands than those made by the Rus
slams at Sevastopol Rostov, Stangrad and elsewhere
At the present time, according to the best esti-
mates, Germany has about 100 divisions on the Rus
sian front In the opinion of Russian experts, Ger
many would have to divert 80 40 of these divisions
to the West if the United Nations would open sec
ond front in Europe, using the British Isles as the
base Of operations. And if that happened the Rus
sian experts conclude the Red Army could stop the
Nazs and eventually defeat them. But if the Ger
mans are left free to throw all their power against
the Russians, the Red Army may be eliminated an
offensive force. In that event, Germany, possessed
of almost mitess resources, could launch an ire
sistble offensive against England and the United
States.
American and British Army heads openly advo
cate the second front It no secret that very large
percentage of the American soldiers now in service
being trained for fighting of the commando order.
No responsible man advocates purely defensive
War-al are convinced that only the continued often
sive can bring eventual victory. At the same time,
the difficulties that lie in the way of the second front
are very important. The cost in troops would un-
questonaby be terribly great-raids such as that
against Dieppe have proven that German defenses IN
the us. to England is extremely dfficult-to main
tain the vast numbers of troops who would be en-
gagged in the second front offensive, would require
vertable bridge Of ships across the Atlantic: And,
top of that takes time to give troops the kind OF
vigorous training that is vital to successful invasion
of German-held Europe.
These are but few of the tremendous issues
that bedevil the High Command 1t is to the credit
of the generals who make military policy that they
do not want to open second front until they feel that
the engagement can be won at a minimum cost in
men At the same tme it is obvious that the collapse
of Russia would be the worst possible calamity that
could happen to the United Nations. Russia alone
has really held the Germans in big actions and made
Hitler pay awful price in blood and material for
the victories he has gained Russia alone has shown
that she realizes precisely what total war means
Russia alone has given her resources and her energies
without hesitation or limit And Russia has received
nightly little help from her Allies, despite all the
brave words that have been said in her behalf. Rus
sia knows that men and guns, not conversation, VIII
