The dedication of the new Meth

the greatest event in the history of
Milford churches. The auditorium
was fully completed and furnished
on Saturday before the dedication,

gan which the congregation expect
to purchase later. The organ used
at the service was loaned by J. A.
Downs of Dover. The bell of the
which was given by Mrs.
George Wilson's Sunday school
class, and which is said to weigh
2 2,29O pounds, is found to be crack
ed and it will be necessary to buy
another, the guarantee having ex-
pired long before dedication. At
each service there were fully 1900
people present and a great many
people left the edifice on account of
being unable to get seat or stand

CONGRESSIONAL BLAH

Opponents of the 40-hour law in
Congress, seeking to bolster up their
arguments, are resorting to the Hit
lerian tactic of constant repetition of
an unfounded assertion. Hitler says
that even the biggest lie, if constantly
repeated, will be believed. So the Con-
gressional reactionaries shout that
the 40-hour week is restricting output,
but present no corroborative facts.
Government production chiefs, who
surely ought to know what is being
done, fatty say the 40-hour week is
not hampering production. Donald M.
Nelson, War Production Board chief,
business executive and no trade union
"agitator," is one of those who deny
that the 4O-hour week is delaying
production.
Now comes Albert P. MCCULLOUGH,
head of big Boston machine and tool
products company, who says any mod
ifcation of the present 40-hour base
week would retard production. He
adds:
"Any attempt to reduce weekly
earnings will cause resentment among
employees and output will be seriously
impaired. The nations welfare de-
mands that no change be made now"
In the face of testimony of this
kind, from practical industrialists, it
takes lot of gall for Congressional
reactionaries to continue their cam
paign of blah against labor standards.

SPEED THE KILLER

Last year, as in every year since
the record of auto accidents has been
kept, exceeding the speed limit led
the list of violations causing accidents,
the Travellers Insurance Company re-
ports. That the control of speed is
the greatest single need in the field of
highway safety is abundantly clear,
not only on the basis of the 1941 re-
port but also when on reviews the
record of recent years, the company
says.
"In 1889, exceeding the speed limit
caused 1890 deaths, or 36.5 per cent
of all fatalities brought about by driv-
ing faults" the company asserts. "In
1910, the total rose to 5000, or 40 per
cent. Last year, the figure rose again,
this time to 11,310, or almost AZ per
cent of the total"

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

wherever possible. "In practice the
only method is that of joint negotia-
tion and collective agreement" it adds.
What is the reaction of the French
workers to the recent British air raids
on industrial plants near Paris? This
question anxiously asked and debated
in the United States, is now answered
by the most authoritative voice, the
voice of French labor. The under
ground labor paper, LA Voix du
Nord," which has wide circulation
among workers of Northern France,
comments on the steadily increasing
R. A. F. attacks:
"Our skies are crossed by English
planes, which other planes and anti
aircraft cannot stop. The R. A. F. is
striking hard and frequent blows and
goes where it pleases; it is giving us
foresight of what the war will be
in the coming months.
What can we do? Oh, to be sure,
our hearts have bled again at the sight
of new suffering. {. We know the
victims, we have seen the ruins. The
sad procession of those who have been
bombed out, leaving their shattered
homes but still brave, has moved every
French person, while barbarism hordes
walk about sneering. i. But, in the
face of such hardships, and of more
dangers to come, firm, clear resolves
must be made. Every one must
assume responsibility.
There is this irrefutable fact: The
English, who are obliged, in order to
win the war, to bomb INCREASINGLY all
factories working for the Germans,
must eventually strike at the complete
German war machine +. Any region
which furnishes no collaboration to
the Germans will probably be safe
from bombing. Every factory work
ing for them is fair target for
English bombs"

Jobs For Garment Workers
Show Increase In New York

Albany, N. Y. (ILNS). - Factory
employment in New York state in
creased by more than 2 per cent be-
tween the middle of January and the
middle of February, Industrial Com
missioner Frieda S. Miller reports. To-
tai payrolls advanced by more than
3 per cent. These increases were due
primarily to seasonal activity in the
apparel industries coupled with fur
ther expansion of defense production.
A few industries adversely affected by
government restrictions on raw ma
terials reported fewer people at work
in February. Outstanding examples
of such industries are the sugar re-
fineries and some of the rubber in
dustries.

TINE role of government in deter
mining wages and working. con-
ditions for wartime production is en-
phasized in a timely report issued by
the International Labor Office.
Surveying war contracts as they are
currently written in Canada, the
United States and Great Britain, the
report points out that the three gov
ernments have now become in effect
"the employers, direct or indirect, OF
large numbers of the working popula-
ton"
The survey Labor Conditions in
War Contracts" points out that gov
ernment becomes largely responsible
for civilian morale: at must answer
both to the workers and to the general
public for the conditions in which de-
tense work is done" Calling for frank
acceptance of this burden of morale" !"
the survey says that there is grow
ing recognition that the efficiency of
workers depends largely on their we'll
being and on their goodwill.
The report analyses such measures
as the Walsh-Healey Act, under which
labor conditions are stipulated in
u. S. government contracts; the "Es-
sential Work Orders" effective in
Great Britain, by which wages are
guaranteed for more than 100000
workers, and the regulations enacted
in Canada toward the same end.
The report is an objective study OF
one aspect of problem whose com
plications are a matter of serious con-
Germ in all countries organizing THEN
industry for war production.
Means must be found to adapt
working conditions to the changing
exigencies of the war situation in g
way which respects the legitimate in
terests and commands the ready as.

But, I'll help you and you'll help
me,
Then, what big white drift we'll
See"
"Help one another, maple spray
said,
To fellow leaf one day;
The sun would wither me, here
alone,
Long before the day is done;
But, I'll help you and you'll help
me,
Then, what pleasant shade therell
be-"
"Help one another, grain of
sand,
Said to fellow grain close at hand;
The wind would carry me DER the
sea,
Then, oh! What would become of
me?
So come, my Brother, give me
hand,
Well build mountain, and there
We'll stand.'
And so the snow-fakes grew to
drifts,
The grains of sand, to mountains,
The leaves become a pleasant
shade,
And dew-drops filled the fountains.
This little poem illustrates the fact
that one snowflake does not amount
to much, but many snow-fakes piled
together can stop the operation of
railroad. That illustrates unity of the
snow-fakes. One grain of sand is in
significant; but all those grains united
together make a mountain. One leaf
will not afford very much shade; but,
when all leaves are united together,
they afford very pleasant shade.
And this kind of unity is what we
need at the General Machinery Cor
poration.
