Vickery Says Shipyards
Labor Problem Is Ended

Washington, D. Workers have
done such a splendid job in the ma
tion's shipyards that there no longer
is any labor problem there, Rear Ad-
miral Howard L. Vickery, vice-chair-
man of the Maritime Commission, an
nounced.
The workers, he said, have re-
sponded quickly to training methods
and are showing steadily increasing
efficiency. Management also is i'm
proving and 1--WE have more shipbuild-
ing brains in America than ever be-
FORE" Vickery added
The only bottleneck is steel, he de-
clared. If enough steel comes from
the mills, the shipyards will be able
to surpass President Roosevelt's ship
building goals, the admiral predicted

Louisiana Labor Reaffirms
Opposition To Sales Tax

Lafayette, La ILNS). - Members
of the executive committee of the
Louisiana State Federation of Labor,
in quarterly meeting, reaffirmed their
opposition to sales tax and adopted
a resolution attacking Governor Jones
for vetoing bill providing for pay
ment of the prevailing wage scale on
state printing. Shreveport was tenta-
lively selected as the federation's con-
vention city next April.
The vetoed bill embodied a clause
to the effect that no firm, unless it
paid the prevailing scale of wages,
could bid on state printing. The Office
of secretary-t treasurer was made full
time position, with E. j. Bourge, who
has attended to the affairs of the fed

1887.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

and pavements unknown" hands paint
large turtles in chalk, coal, or even
tar. Below each turtle are the words
"Work slowly" Sometimes only a
turtle may be seen painted on wall,
but further on, on the same wall, the
inscription, "Work slowly" will invar-
iably be found.
The workers do not have to convince
each other of the necessity of this
method of struggle against the in
vader Nevertheless, the following
words are frequently spoken in shops
and factories:
Before the war we worked to build
Poland, but today we are forced to
work for the Germans. Why hurry ?"
Referring to living and working con-
ditions in countries occupied by Ger
many, Aftontidningen the new Stock
holm labor newspaper, in an editorial
recently expressed amazement that
some Germans wonder why they have
met with so little sympathy in Scan
dinavian countries. "In turn we must
express surprise that the Germans ap-
parently are in complete ignorance of
the Northern spirit and Northern cul-
ture. 1t is otherwise impossible to ex-
plain their astonishment at the mildly
worded antipathy here" the editorial
said in part.
Recalling the medieval atmosphere
and complete absence of law and order
now reigning in the occupied countries,
the editorial concluded by declaring:
'The peoples of the North will never
accept foreign domination. They may
break down under superiority of force,
but they will never tolerate their op-
pressors. A German domination in the
North therefore must always be
founded on violence-never based upon
free agreement and mutual under
standing"

TREE Denmark, the Danish London
II weekly, prints an appeal of Danish
sailors now in the British merchant
navy to be allowed to man warship,
"even if it's only little one." They
wanted to do this in 1910 but were
then told by the Ministry of Shipping
that they were needed in the merchant
navy. But as since then their number
has steadily increased by daring es-
capes from internment ports they now
plead that they can do both.
About 1000 Danish sailors and
about 100000 tons of Danish ships are
sailing for the duration under British
flag. At least 1,500 Danes and some
100000 tons of modern, speedy and
efficient Danish ships are now sailing
for the U. S. Government, either under
the Stars and Strips or under the flag
of Panama for technical reasons.
When the neutrality act was still
preventing u. S. ships from entering
European waters, these Danish ships
were sent with American supplies to
British and Icelandic ports. Many of
the U. S. ships which were sunk in the
Atlantic last fall were actually Danish
ships, and great many Danish sail
ors gave their lives, then, as they are
still doing nearly every day.
From Warsaw comes word that one
of the strongest weapons in the hands
of Poles in their fight against the in
vader is passive resistance. The slow
down is among the most important
forms of such resistance. Workers
employed in plants which are now
under German supervision sabotage
production not by destroying raw ma
terials or damaging the products, but
by slowing down the rate of work, so
that tasks which ordinarily require
one hour take five or more.

Bennett has been indicted by grand
jury on the charge that he concealed
part of his liabilities in applying for
a SAT, 900 Farm Credit loan. 1t was
on the strength of false statement
that he got the money, the government
claims.

Two British Unions
Ask Second Front

Washington, d. C. (ILNS).-Radio
broadcasts from England report that
the Electrical Workers Union, in con-

luton urging the government to open
second European front because of
the critical state of the war.
The resolution, which was adopted
unanimously, was similar to that
passed by the Miners Federation. 1t
said that because of the critical sit
uation the government should imme-
diately implement its declaration that
second front would be opened this
year.

HANDICAPPED GET
CHANCE AS LABOR
NEEDS SHOW RISE

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). - En-
ployment of physically handicapped
workers is steadily growing, as the
result of the demand for labor in war
and civilian industries.
The War Manpower Commission is
planning the placement of disabled
service men and physically handi-
capped men and women in many in
dustries, including industrial diamond
cutting and stenography. The handi-
capped constitute a reservoir of "un-
used man power" estimated to con-
tain 100000 persons.
The latest step toward solution OF
the problem of finding work for the
physically handicapped is an agree
ment recently concluded by manage
ment and labor in the diamond cutting
industry under which disabled vet
erans of the Army and Navy will re-
ceive special preference as appren-
tices, with age limits waived
The cutting of small diamonds for
industrial uses employed about 25,00O
people in Holland and Belgium until
the Nazis conquered the two nations.
Now the United States is trying to
make itself self-sufficient in this highly
skilled and important craft. Most of
the work is being done in New York
City, but it is planned to set up ap-
premiership programs in other cities.
Increased employment and faster
production rates in the munitions and
heavy industries already are adding to
the number of handicapped, whose
misfortunes frequently prove, after
proper training, to be no handicap at
all, fact which, according to the
commission, war industry and business
gradually are discovering.
The blind are being used success
fully in a number of industrial OPP
erations as we'll as for such skilled
work as stenography. And there is
slow, but steady improvement in en-
ployment of persons disabled in other
ways as employer prejudice against
hiring Handicapped" workers breaks
down before proof and example, the
commission says.

TAX CREDITS FOR INSURANCE

Senator Georges proposal for per-
mitting tax deductions or credits
within reasonable limits in the pay
ment of income taxes has met with
general support 1t is becoming rec
ognized that if federal taxes continue
to increase, many persons will find it
impossible to keep their present life
insurance policies in force.
Legislation providing a tax credit
for insurance payments would encour-
age the keeping of life insurance,
which is obviously desirable both from
the individual and national standpoint.
As the Evening Star of Washing
ton, D. c., comments
"a large-scale lapse of insurance
policies, by depriving many American
families of protection against the
death of their breadwinners, would in
crease the need, in future years. for
federah state and local relief expend-
itures. 1t is clearly desirable, there
fore, that the American people CON
tinue to invest part of their savings
in life insurance"

HIT THE POLL TAX,

Trade unienists everywhere have ar
opportunity to hit the iniquitous pol
tax by urging their Congressman tc
sign the petition instructing the Judi
ciary Committee of the House of Rep
resentatives to report out the anti-poll
tax bill, now bottled up.
A letter from President Green OF
the American Federation of Labor tc
labor bodies points out that the bill
H. r. 1924, introduced by Senator
Claude Pepper of Florida, is held by
the Judiciary Committee which has
refused to report it to the House for
a vote When President Green wrote
141 members of the House had signed
the petition, 218 being required to
make it effective.
The poll tax keeps 100000 citi-
zens in southern states from voting.
The American Federation of Labor
maintains that American citizens
should be accorded the right to vote
Internationally and that the payment
of poll tax should not be imposed
as condition for voting in either a
primary or general election. No real
believer in democracy can hold other
wise.

Here are thoughts on liberty, good
in peace and war:
When you define liberty you limit
it, and when you limit it you destroy
it.-Brand Whitlock.
If there is any principle of the Con-

for attachment than any other, it is
the principle of free thought - not
free thought for those who agree with
US, but freedom for the thought we
hate.-Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Where with eur Little Matchst we tell
the truth absut many things, Sometimes
profoundly, Sometimes aippantly. some
times recklessIy. >.

How much trouble, distress and bit
ter misery is caused by rigid rules for
human action and life only Providence
knows.
Some years ago, three young men
were thrown into the Hudson River,
few feet from Sing Sing Prison,
when their canoe was overturned.
Hundreds of convicts saw the acci-
dent and clamored for the opportunity
to save the youths struggling in the
water, but it was against the rules to
permit any to make the attempt.
Guards with loaded rifles prevented
any of the prisoners from going to
the rescue and the boys met mis-
cradle and unnecessary death in the
swirling waters. If the warden had
been present, he could have given per-
mission for the rescue and the victims
could have been saved
Rigid rules were responsible for the
tragedy. A word, and expert swim
mers would have dashed to the rescue
Humanity and common sense die
tated the breaking of the rules even
though there was danger of convict
or two escaping, but the guards,
taught that rules are sacred, were
afraid to take chance
The American labor movement
has learned that life cannot be
run according to unyielding rules
and formulas.
Rules and formulas are useful, often
necessary, but there are times when
it is wisdom to modify or break them
The labor movement does not try to
live and advance by rigid rule; it acts
according to circumstances and thereby
lies much of it's success.
All human society might profit by
its example.
