Labor Pledge
To War Effort

This summer will bring some
type of crisis in the struggle
which engulfs the globe. Our in
dustrial machine is turning out
unprecedented quantities Of mum
itions of war-ships, bombers,
guns and all the necessary equip
ment of fighting armies. Our
troops are being moved to the
front.
Wherever and whenever the de-
cisive battles are fought, we want
our fighting men to have at hand
whatever materials and supplies
they may need. We who are
back of the lines, in the less dan
gerous places of service, must
gird ourselves for a supreme eff
fort. We must accept hardships
and sacrifices as the price of
freedom. What we do or fail to
do will advance or retard our
nations war effort.
There is just another way of
saying we are in a total struggle.
We cannot maintain a civilian
life and economy separate from
the war effort. War purposes
and needs will restrict and delim-
it civilian supplies and standards
of living. Directly or indirectly,
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1942-09-03
Iron Men and Iron Ships
From The Chicago Daily News, July 14th 1912

before Congress declared it. One of the reas-
ons why one can write so confidently of men like
Gompers and Furuseth is that the estates of
neither gave the probate courts any work to do.
They died poor church mice. Any tin horn
Chicago racketeer could have bought and sold
them many times any day of their lives.
Old Peter J. Mcclure, the father of Labor
Day, will have namesake on the waves. 9th
er names have not been selected, but there
scores that would honor any ship we build.
John Mitchell, the Illinois boy who became
the emancipator of the anthracite country
should be among the honorees He already has
a noble bronze in Scranton, Pa, erected by a
grateful people, Martin X. Irons, the old rail
road battler, should have a ship named for him,
and Bill Lee and lot of other railroaders come
readily to mind.
Which brings US to name that think
might find some approval in the Hoosier So
ceties and would appeal to old hog heads, tai
low pots and the like who followed Gene Debs in
'94 In the last war Gene got off the reserva-
ton and also got in Jail for some rather charac-
teristic loose talk, but the country was soon
doubtful of the wisdom of jamming the old man.
Nobody need have any doubt of what he would
be saying and doing about Adolf Hitler, if he
great names of worker folklore.
If "Unce Genes" mouth was sometimes
too big, it only in symmetry with a heart
big enough for a saint and brave enough for a
lion.
America has many shining names that re-
sound in Europe and all around the world, some
better known abroad than here, and every
of them is hateful on the Wilhemstrasse. When
we have used up our working stiffs can still
name ships Jack London, Walt Whitman and
Henry Thoreau to good propaganda effect.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1942-09-03

Labor Day, 1912, will be marked by special
ship launchings and the number to take the
water will exceed the total of Maritime Day.
Some of the ships are to be christened with
names from abors roll of honor. We believe
this is great idea, an inspiration from the
very fountainhead of Americanism.
Ships have names as puzzng to laymen as
the names of race horses, but there is system
in ship nomenclature-for instance, the custom
of naming all Cunarders with names ending in
ia" and all White Star liners with names end
ing in &c" Tankers have way of honoring
oil men and ore boats carry the great names of
steel
What could be more fitting than for mer-
chant ships fashioned by workingmen, of mate
rials and wrought by workingmen, which
will be loaded, unloaded, serviced and sailed by
workingmen, to be named for great leaders OF
the American labor movement!
Andrew Furuseth rates ship and one Will
be named for him. Old Andy was veritable
Andy Jackson of the Sea and will live in the
hearts of seafaring long as Andrew
Jackson will live in the chronicles of the Amer
can spirit A ship named Andrew Furuseth car
ries name that damns tyrants of all lands,
for Andrew Furuseth aspired to emancipate the
sailormen of all the ports and in the La Fol
lette Act, which he wrote, he did set up char
ed and untiring help of Bob La Toilette the eld-
er With Havelock Wilson, Furuseth a
great seapower himself in the battle against
the submarine assassns of sailors IN World
War |.
Sam Gompers rates ship and will have
namesake. 1t would be retelling old tale to
write much of Sam, but in the last war no man
did more to beat the Hohenzollern upstarts.
Sam had the A. F. of L. all set for war long

all of US will contribute to the
success of our armed forces.
Since our part is production,
let us pledge ourselves to let
nothing keep us from our daily
work responsibility. Let us as
sumo, as a moral and patriotic
duty, the obligation to keep our
selves physically fit and avail
able for production work. Let us
remember each day that some
soldier may lose his life if we
do not do our full part to main
tain the principles upon which
American life is founded.
For the duration a number of
unions have substituted time and
one-half for the sixth and sew
enth consecutive work days and
time standards. Others are
for their long established double
waving double-time on national
holidays that fall within the con-
secutive work week in the sum-
mer campaign.
Labor's objective is maximum
sustained output to support the
battlefronts, so we must guard
against the long continuous hours
that bring cumulative fatigue
which destroys production abili-
ty. But do not be satisfied with
putting less than your full abili-
ty into every hour you work.
The outcome of the summer
campaign will determine the
length of the war.
The following pledge, repeated
frequently, will serve to keep US
mindful of our obligations:
"Fellow-American soldiers on
the firing line, we your fellow
Americans in the industries of
America salute you each morn
ing as we begin the days work
and each night as we end. We
want to keep faith with you as
we know you will keep faith with
us.
"We are both defending our
homes and our freedom of living
and opportunity for progress. We
serve in producing the supplies
you need and in getting them to
you as you need them. We serve
by doing without things you
need and in cheerfully and will
ingly giving our best to the days
work.
"We pledge you to keep our
selves physically fit that we
may be ready for each days
work. We pledge you to main
tain the spirit and institutions
of democracy as the daily prac-
tice within America while you
defend our way of living by
arms.
GAS you daily meet the fire
of the enemy, we are daily try
ing to better past production rec
ords and to preserve the demo-
cratic institutions you are fight
ing to defend.
"We shall keep the faith as we
know you will keep faith with
u.s."
