through there. thus multiplying the

there might be lacking facilities for

SMOKING IN A
WAR FACTORY

tMllwaukee JournaD
A Judge presiding in Long Island City
had an answer to union pleas for lenien-
cy toward twelve men caught smoking in
the plant of the Brewster Aeronautical
Corp:
General Macarthur and his men work
hours too. and I'll bet they don't have
much time to slip off for cigarette
them suspended jail sentences as a warn
ing.
Here we get a peep at the laxity that
can. and does, exist among too many Am
erican war workers. Not only did these
men violate factory rules, but they took
time off to slip into the washrooms to
do the smoking. We had similar facts
disclosed in the story of the Normandie
men locking themselves in the wash
rooms to smoke and stall, although every
effort was being made to get the liner
recondtioned for the Navy.
One of the most discouraging things
about this Long Island occurrence was
the fact that the chief plant steward
of the CIO union tried to get the court
to excuse the violation on the ground that
the Mushrooms where the men smoked
were supposed to be fireproof. A smart
union agent would not have done that
He would have seen an opportunity to
teach these men a lesson and would have
stood by management in its effort to
break up such practices.
The sooner the America that is behind
the lines realizes that it is at war; too,
the fewer lives of American boys we
shall have to sacrifice for victory.

old, 10.850ton aircraft carri e I
Hermes off the coast of Ceylon in
their second savage blow at the
British fleet in Indian waters, the
admiralty announced today.
Cnly yesterday the admiralty an
nounced the sinking of the heavy
8-inch gun cruisers Dorsetshire and
Cornwall by planes from the Japa-
nese fleet operating in the Bay of
Bengal.
The admiralty said the japanese
claim that additional cruisers also
had been sunk off Trincomalee on
the northeast coast of Ceylon, was
known to be quite untrue
Japanese imperial headquarters
asserted that the Hermes and 10
other craft" including a light cruis
er of the Birmingham class, sec
ond of the Emerald class, a de-
stroyer, a tanker and six merchant
vessels had been sunk and said a
light cruiser of the Leander type
had been crippled beyond repair.

of 9,l00 tons but has 6-inch instead
of 8-inch guns. Emerald is a 1850
