. Miqraiion Problems

Although apparently We have decided
TO be hard-boiled and adopt the principle
Of manpower mobilization IL you pre-
fer. the industrial draft-we have not yet
reached clear sailing.
The public, judging from most signs,
recognizes the need for this ordinarily OBJ
noxious step. Administrative Washington
presumably has canvassed the situation
pretty thoroughly, or else as canny a poll
tician as Paul V. McNutt would not have
gone overheard for the idea.
AL this could do more harm than good.
however, unless the men who are to draft
the final bin shall think their way through
many lurking pitfalls, and shall find work.
able solutions for problems that could
bring bitter resistance 10 the working of a
manpower draft.
For one example out of many, there are
the widely differing state settlement laws
which everywhere except in Rhode Island
provide that persons must live there for
specified periods before being eligible for
any kind Of public assistance.
A worker might be UNDERSTANDABLE Bit
ter il he were required TO leave his own
state-which would ban him from relief or
other public assistance after he had been
gone six months-to work in another state
which would not help him in distress until
he had lived there two years, or even five
years.
The boom-town housing problem, of
course, we have always with us. What pro-
vision win be made for the family man who
is required to take a war job hundreds or
thousands of miles from home in COM
munity which has no living quarters for
families? Must he give up his family life?
There is the closed shop problem. When
q non-union man is required by war law to
90 into closed shop plant, is he thereby
forced, willy nilly, to join the union? II so,
is ii left to the unions discretion what ini-
tiation fee is to be charged?
Suppose the worker does not pay dues,
or otherwise falls into bad grace with the
union, and is expelled or suspended? He
can't work, and he can't refuse to work.
What happens then? Is the industrial draft
to be used as an arbitrary recruiting and
collection agency for labor unions?
How about the man who is getting
higher wages in non-essential industry
than the scale in the war industry to which
he is shifted?
None of these problems are insouble,
but all require complete devotion to win-
ming the war.
As people We are ready for the indus
trial draft. But we insist that it shall be
used solely as a war weapon and not to
establish any groups sociological concepts.

> HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20

Conflicting planetary influences
are active today, but benefic as
poets appear to dominate. 1t is
read as most fortunate for avia-
ton.
Heart and Home: Women should
pursue routine duties under this
sway. 1t is an suspicious time for
making new acquaintance among
men in government service.
Friends and not suitors will bring
happiness to many girls to whom
life is taking on a serious mean
ing. There is an i'll omen which
presages many falls and other ac-
cidents among old persons. Health
should be guarded because cpl
denies may be widespread in COM
ing months.
Business Affairs: Labor troubles
are to become acute Just before
election dates. Legislators will
realize that wage disputes are
potential bombs that will scatter
votes. True patriotism will be
manifested by workers who fore
see their political power in post
war reconstruction policies. For
nation of a third party will be
widely discussed after drastic
measures to prevent strikes are
put into operation. The element
of surprise. so frequently revealed
in war tactics, will be evident in
union organization policies.
National Issues: weeping
changes in educational methods
will be advocated more and more
as work in schools and colleges
progresses. Firm foundations will
be required for the building of sci
entific knowledge. Training of
hands as well as minds will be of
wide interest in preparing for a
period Of readjustment in human
aims and activities. Old-time aca-
demic requirements will be sus-
pended in a large measure. Schol-
airs and erudition Will be super
seeded by workers and machinery.
International Affairs: With Ju-
piter stationary in Gandhi's tenth
house there was discerned a pos
sibility of triumph for the Mahat-
ma. Certain influences of the stars
have been conducive to an inclina-
ton toward reasonableneSs in his
latest negotiations with the Brit
ish government, but adverse stars
upset his judgment at the most
critical point in negotiations. In
the late autumn the Indian princes
are foreseen as helpful to the cause
of the United Nations for which
India means so much. 'Gandhi's
early death Is foreseen.

Opinion Audit

An interesting experiment is under way
in Kansas City. The Civic Research Insti-
tute is conducting a continuing poll to as
certain public reaction to the conduct of
the city's business.
The audit" is intended, of course. to
probe public opinion. 1t has the secondary
function of discovering how much the peo-
pie really do think about municipal prob
lems
And an inevitable effect would seem to
be to make the voters do more thinking
about their government, know more about
it, realize more alertly that it is their crea-
ture to be improved or degraded at their
will.
