troupe gets involved in plenty
of local action in an Army
camp town. 1t looks certain to
be well-entrenched through the
winter, despite the fact that the
exposed position of certain indi-
vidual units leaves them open
to pincers attack.
MUSICAL RALLIES
AFTER CRITICS ATTACK
Despite initial reverses at the
hands of the critics, Count Me
In" is holding its Broadway
beachhead. This company has
contributed the seasons best
named feminine unit. the WAAA
AAAAPS - Women's Auxiliary
All Out, All Over, Army, Air,
Aquamaeine and Authenticated
Patrol.
The auxiliary units have TAX
en- a major part in the Broadway
action to date. JAMIE" the story
of a one-girl USO, scored a di-
rect hit. "Vickie," the wife
whose auxiliary activities near
ly wreck a happy home, show
ers some incendiary shrapnel
but is unlikely to do any per-
manent damage.
Intelligence reports reveal
groupings of theatrical troupes,
uniforms and equipment which
indicate that these general lines
of attack will continue along the
show sector well into winter.
DISTAFF SIDE ADVANCES
ON BROADWAY FRONT
Possibly rejecting the cur
rent man-power problem, there
appears to be a strong move
ment to make Broadway distaff
headquarters, with at least three
comic reports on women-in-
uniform about to be launched.
In addition, it is reliably re-
ported that the authors of Life
With Father" are working on
production plans for a new mod
ell: Life With Mother" Carry
ing this conversion to its logical
conclusion is the projected
Femme Mania" which would
employ not only an all-girl cast,
but all-girl orchestra, house
staff, etc.
Plans to reinforce the theatre
cal seasons more serious lines
are already past the discussion
stage. Besides a couple of Rus
sian war plays, they include
dramas based on such straight
war themes as the British Mer-
chant Marine, the Nazi invasion
of Greece and escape from a
concentration camp.
There is nothing further to
report from other sectors at this
time.

Shores
tn Seek
Sewer Aid

ST. CLAIR SHORES - With
construction work begun on the
Lake Shore interceptor, Adrian
A. Lingemann. village presi-
dent of st. Clair Shores, said
today he would make a trip to
Chicago in the near future to
discuss a village sewer project
with regional officials of the
Federal Works Agency.
The FWA ruled some time
ago that the Shores project was
not essential to the war effort,
but the decision was made
prior to approval of the Lake
Shore interceptor prof ect.
Lingemann said he hopes to pre-
vail upon Federal officials to
permit the village to resubmit
its project, which would allow
installation of laterals south of
the Ten Mile road.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

gain in membership of az unions, while
27 had to register some loss of mem
bers and two remained unchanged.
This is partly due to changes in oc-
cupation caused by the war.
The growth of the Danish labor
movement has been a steady one since
1928 when it had 10000 members. In
1882 it reached the 100000 mark and
in the middle of 1887 it passed 10000
1t passed 100000 in 1910.
In the same period the independent
trade unions had to register con-
tinuous decrease in the number of
unions and in members. Today they
number only II unions, 24,933 mem
bers. The big gains of the national
movement have not been mainly due
to unaffiliated unions joining. The
greater part of the increases have
come from the masses of unorganized
workers, which shows that not only
the national movement, but trade
union ideas generally have made in
Denmark, just as in all other Scandi-
navian countries, great progress.
We must win the war and the right
of way must be yielded to the ma
tional government in all matters nee
essary to accomplish that objective
But our immersion in that objective
and in our individual problems of ad-
justment to a wartime economy should
not be SO complete as to cause us to
ignore the problems of local govern
ments. Cities and towns must con-
tinue to educate our youth, to protect
persons and property, to carry out
health and sanitation measures, and
to care for the underprivileged. Cities
and towns must also continue to raise
the money with which to finance these
and other services. The difficulties of
performing these duties are increased
many-fold in wartime, and in addi-
ton local officials must assume new
duties arising from the emergency

DON'T TRY GAS BOARDING

Mr.. Motorist, don't hoard gasoline!
If you do, you are literally storing up
trouble and danger for yourself.
That's the warning of the National
Safety Council, issued as result of
reports that some auto owners are lay
ing in supplies of gasoline against the
day of nationwide rationing.
"Hoarding of gasoline not only is
unpatriotic, but extremely dangerous, !"
said the council
while the storing and handling of
gasoline can be perfectly safe when
done by experts, the average person
would be just as safe with supply
of TINT in his home.
'No matter how careful the average
person may be in storing gasoline,
there is a definite danger that it's
vapor will escape. This vapor is highly
explosive, and chance spark or flame
may set off an explosion that can
wreck house and cause death or
injury.
Furthermore, no matter where you
live, the chances are that your fire
insurance is automatically void if you
have more than very small quantity
of gasoline on hand And even that
must be stored in an approved safety
container.
"You can get an extra ride by hoard
ing gas, but the chances are it will be
to the hospital not in your own
car, but an ambulance.
There is only one safe rule for
boarding gasoline-"Don't do itp'

THE PRICE OF INDEPENDENCE

1t was 166 years ago this month
that Thomas Jefferson wrote in a now
famous declaration that "all men are
created equal, that they are endowed
by their Creator with inherent and
inalienable rights, that among these
are life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness"
Today, the subjugated peoples of
Europe have life-but no liberty, and
little opportunity to engage in the
pursuit of happiness.
We in America have the opportu-
nifty to fight for the inalienable right
of ourselves and our Allies to be free
for all time
Our gallant airmen, naval forces and
soldiers are fighting for this inde-
pendence.
Our production soldiers in giant fac
tory upon giant factory are working
night and day to preserve this sacred
heritage.
All of US, young and old, can join
the battle through the regular pur-
chase of war savings bonds and
stamps, investing ten cents out of ev-
cry dollar we receive if possible.
The Declaration of independence de-
clares that governments derive "their
just powers from the consent of the
governed, that whenever any form of
government becomes destructive of
these ends, it is the right of the people
to alter or abolish it."
That is what the people of France,
of Belgium, of Holland, Norway, Den

FACING
THE -
FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

Our faith in democracy has just
been revitalized. Even the Navy is
responding to the call of the people.
Ever since America got into the war
with both feet, we've been squawking
loudly and bitterly about the Navy's
stupid labor policies. We begged and
pleaded for little cooperation, but
the Navy brass hats still continued
business in the usual autocratic way.
Recently the War Production
Boards labor division and other fed
eral agencies sponsored labor press
conference in New York City which
we attended. At this meeting we got
up on our hind legs and complained
about the Navy all over again, but
without much hope of accomplishing
anything.
But we were r-pessimistic. For
apparently one of the government Of
ficials present took our criticisms back
to Washington and saw to it that the
Navy Department was fully informed.
And, instead of being court-mar-
tailed, we were invited to go down to
see one of the top officials Of the Navy
Department and have heart -to-heart
talk with him. We accepted.
The Navy Agrees
Without mincing words, we spoke
our piece. We stated in blunt Ian
guage that the Navy's brass hats acted
like slave-drivers, that the worst en-
ployers in private industry were timid
souls compared with some Navy ad-
mirals.
We pointed out that labor was only
too anxious to collaborate with the
Navy but that such collaboration could
not be obtained by crack-t whip
methods. We urged that the Navy
show some consideration for the work
ers and the trade unions that repre-
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1942-07-03

sent them. A more helpful and con-
siderate attitude must be shown by
the Navy, we insisted, to get results.
And to prove that cooperation gets
results, we cited the example of the
Army's fine relations with labor and
the splendid labor relations work
done by Col. Ginsburg's office.
Believe it or not, the righ-ranking
Navy official to whom we addressed
these sharp remarks did not hit the
ceiling Instead, he agreed with ev-
erything we said. He expressed keen
disappointment over the Navy's poor
labor relations. He said this was due
to MISUNDERSTANDING, plus the mental
kinks of some admirals. These would
be promptly ironed out, he promised,
and a new policy established.
We then proceeded to discuss ways
and means in general way.
Almost Immediately things began
to happen.
Inc navy Acts
First came the announcement that
Edwin A. Lahey, columnist for the
Chicago Daily News, had been ap-
pointed special assistant to Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Board Lahey
has put in years as labor reporter.
He doesn't know everything there is
to know about organized labor, but
his heart is in the right place. He has
keen sympathy for the working staff
and keener dislike for pretentious
official autocracy. We have the high
est possible regard for his honesty and
sincerity and his desire to do con-
structive job. He accepted the assign
ment at great personal sacrifice and
he won't be satisfied unless he gets
results. Furthermore, his judgment is
respected by the Secretary of the
Navy, Frank Knox, who in private life
is the publisher of the Chicago Daily
News and knows all about Lahey' IS
work.
A few days after Lahey's appoint
ment, came the news that the Navy
has set up an Incentives Section, un-
der Admiral Woodward, with the OBJ
ject of obtaining the greatest possible
cooperation between the Navy and
the representatives of organized labor.
We don't know yet how this bureau
will shape up, but its purpose is to
operate in way similar to that of
Col. Finsburgh's office in the Army.
Now these are highly constructive
developments. 1t is still too early to
stand up and cheer, but we have no
hesitation in saying that the Navy is
moving in the right direction. We are
ready to give them every break in
order to help things along and estab-
lish basis for friendly collaboration
between the Navy and the trade union
movement.

We have been seeing pictures in the
newspapers showing what enemy bat
tleships look like when American
bombs rain down on their decks.
They look pretty awful. And hu-
man beings being blown through the
air, not always intact, look puny and
helpless, indeed.
When the ships in the pictures are
enemy ships Americans don't shudder
much at the havoc with human lives.
The enemy has to be killed in great
numbers, if the war is to be won.
For that's how wars are. And the
war will be won.
The job is to see that a great many
enemy battleships and lesser ships are
blown to bits and their crews with
them.
A ghastly, but necessary, business
for civilized people.
Ships that go down to sea, must go
under the sea-and stay there.
Newspaper pictures show us long
lines of bombing planes, rolling off
United States assembly lines.
Skilled American workers, men and
women, are turning out those planes.
They are flying over almost the
whole surface of the earth, with loads
of lethal cylinders to drop on ships
and on other enemy forces, for blow
ing them to smithereens.
Perhaps some may yet fall on
Berchtesgaden, the hideaway of the
maniac, Schickelgruber.
Our job is to make so many of those
planes that they can smother the en-
emy in sizzling metal and dirt, to
render him helpless and PROSTATE.
The skill of our workers and the
might of our machines and the
shrewdness of our executives will do it.
Our factories hum day and night.
1t is peoples war.
The determination of our workers
everywhere that the line of supplies
shall be kept at full tide is the best
guarantee of victory.
Not all of the great might of gov
ernment is even half the incentive to
work that is found in the will of the
people themselves.
Not at any time in all history have
people known as fully the meaning of
struggle, the stake involved or the
necessity for victory as they know
today.
Leaders derive their strength of
leadership out of the heart and soul
of the people.
In other times it has been the other
way around.

TIME successor to the late Danish
i Premier, Thorvald Stauning, vet
eran Socialist and trade union leader,
might have been expected to be one
of the two or three candidates of
whom the Nazis would have approved.
Nevertheless, he is Wilhelm Orla Buhl,
minister of finance in the Staunlng
coalition government.
1t is now revealed that when
Premier Stauning died on May 3, the
Danish cabinet was in full agreement
on appointing Bull as Stauning's sue
cessor. The King also accepted him
with joy, and Buhl was appointed
through a legal coup d'etat, so to
speak; that is, without telling the
Nazi "protectors" anything about it.
AS Buhl is a Socialist and staunch
opponent of the Nazis, many heated
discussions with them followed. The
only result, however, was that the
Germans compelled the new govern
menC TO issue ueCldIdtiOil Ile main
theme of which was that it would
continue to follow the lines of the
previous government in its attempt to
maintain "a good relationship with
Germany"
But Buhl remained 1t is hard to
avoid the impression that the Ger
mans do not feel as strong as they
did, or they would never had stood
for this independence on the part of
a country whose independence they
had sworn to respect.
Despite Nazi occupation of Den
mark, the Danish labor movement is
growing. The international Fedora
tion of Trade Unions reports that on
December 81, 1941, the movement
comprised ~ unions with total
membership of 526,566, an increase of
1887 compared with 1910.
The increase is due partly to the
affiliation of new union, the Sheet
Metal Workers, with 7,849 members.
The rest of the increase is due to the
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1942-07-03

The people know that this is their
war and that THEY must win the
victory.
No propaganda could make the
people feel and understand as they
feel and understand out of their own
conviction which is based upon their
own knowing of the facts.
Unions put an end to strikes, they
will not tolerate stoppages that once
were commonly accepted as proper
and useful.
The production lines must keep
moving. The people themselves police
against evils.
There must be many, many more
enemy battleships sent to the bottom
in twisted, broken torture. And fleets
of enemy planes must be torn apart.
Hordes of enemy tanks must be made
into sieves and perhaps millions of
enemy troops must be slain in conflict.
Ii that does not happen, then liberty
will be lost. Liberty must not be lost.
That is what the free people know;
and it is what the slave people do not
know, for they do not know anything
about liberty.
People who know about liberty will
never lose it while they have strength
to resist.
The free people have immense and
vital strength. Look upon those pic
lures again and see in them some
thing far more important than inert
machines. See in them the dynamic
and invincible force that makes for
victory-and keep them rolling off the
lines! - C. M. w.
