impossible Takes
A Little Longer"
BY RUTH TAYLOR

An appreciation of the inspection
tour of Fort Monmouth by the labor
editors on August IL, 1912.
"If it's hard, it takes little while.
If it's impossible it takes a little
longer"
This trenchant statement was the
casual response of an officer at Fort
Monmouth. when l remarked that they
seemed to omit the word cant from
their lexicon.
TO me, this statement was the most
expressive of the spirit Of the sigma
Corps, of the rapid development OF this
the Civil War, of it's ability to explore
the unknown, and to utilize the new
and untried.
The visit made by the labor editors
to Fort Monmouth on August twelfth

So the reader can only be confident
in buying from advertisers: he can
buy with the conviction that he or she
is helping themselves.
Today, the average successful and
well-managed business appropriates an
annual advertising budget, which in
most cases does not exceed t per cent
of the total annual sales. This budget
I'm many instances is broken down into
seasonal, monthly or weekly appropria
tons. In brief, for each dollar spent
in advertising, the merchant of today
expects to sell twenty-five dollars
worth of the item advertised

won and Hitler and his tyrant assO
ciates go down to defeat
I'VE are face to face with the great
est crisis of our time," said Mr. Green.
I'VE cannot continue business as usual
or strikes as usual during such period.
All our liberties, including the right to
maintain free and democratic trade
unions and to strike for any cause,
hang in the balance of this war. Isn't
it obvious that labor must stay on the
job now in order to preserve for all
time the right to strike against in
justice?"
If the Germans and Japanese thought
this war was going to be g picnic"
they are beginning now to learn that
something new has been added" he
said.
II do not believe that we in America
need worry about when and where a
second front is to be established in
Europe" he continued. Il think we can
let Hitler worry about that. Until now
he has opened every offensive accord
ing to his own plans. But from here on
we are going to choose the new battle
| fields and start the new Offensives.
IL have every confidence in our Com
mander in Chief, President Roosevelt.
l have every confidence in full and
complete victory for the forces of
democracy. But before the day of vic
tory comes, every American will have
to suffer. That includes every man,
woman and child in our land-workers,
farmers and business men alike.
"The price of victory is sacrifice.
The price of defeat is slavery and de-
gradation. We have only one choice.
Let us make it cheerfully.'
Mr.. Green declared that the only
sacrifice American workers would re-
fuse to make would be to give up their
| freedom.
| "We are strong because we are free,
he said. I'VE do not and cannot believe
that we can win this war by weakening
our great army of workers. We do not
and cannot believe that the way to
preserve democracy throughout the
world is to impair it here at home
Mr.. Green reported that the A. +. of
l.. was at it's peak strength, with g.
100000 members on its rolls. He adj
mitted, however, that the ranks Of or
| ganiZed labor as Il whole ARE still
divided and torn by rivalry and dis
cord.' He declared that it was of SUI
preme importance to the war effort
that this dangerous breach be healed
and that the men and women of or
ganiZed labor be once more united un-
der one banner as soon as possible.
"FOrtunately, the efforts of the
American Federation of Labor to re.
new conferences for Il settlement have
now borne fruit" he added. Com
mittees representing both sides will
hold their first meeting in few weeks
The task before them is difficult one
and the formation of rival unions com
peting within the same field.
ut is my hope and prayer on this
Labor Day that the conferees will re-
solve these difficulties and work out a
settlement fair and just to all con
ers, the needs of our country, require
it,"
Quoting from Samuel Gompers
father of the American Federation OF
Labor, on labOr'S faith in America ant
freedom, Mr.. Green concluded:
