"We want to emphasize" President

If Rep. Hobbs is sincere in seeking

there is no logical reason why he

sad part of it is, the men get Satur-
days off during bad weather and then
when the weather is favorable for
making Victory Gardens, to help sup
ply their larders next winter, they VIII
have to work all day.
1t seems the weeks vacation period
is also a question that is giving the
workmen who are planning gardens a
lot of thought. This weeks vacation
with pay is great blessing to the pot
tiers who have to swallow lot OF dust
throughout the year. 1t gives them Il
chance to work outside in the warm
sunshine and at the same time aides
in clearing up the congestion or the
lungs. Those potterS whose jobs are
not SO hard and who can stand extra
outdoor work each evening will also
profit They will be able to work in the
soil, raise fresh vegetables and there
is no better food than vegetables fresh
from the garden.
SO many of us do not value good
health. And it is like so many good
things in life, it does not come to us

Making Democracy
Work

Absenteeism has become the goat
on which to pin the blame for any
weakness in the war production pro-
gram. Everybody is talking about alb.
senteetism but few appear to know
what to do about it.
Some of the obvious causes of alb
senteeism enumerated by unions and
employers include: fatigue, illness and
accidents resulting from long work
weeks: material shortages; labor
boarding and bad planning; made
ouate housing and transportation {;
problems of child care, shopping and
ration board hours
Some people say the way to cure
absenteeism is to punish the absentee
the way you would an army deserter.
That is to say, the only way to run
a war against relationships is to be-
come dictatorship ourselves. That's
nonsense. AS President William Green
of the American Federation of Labor
said recently before Il Senate Com
mittee: I'VE are determined to prove
for ourselves and to the world that
the capacity, the spirit and prOduc-
tivity of free labor is far and away
superior to that of coerced labor"
If we are to continue to have free
labor it is up to us to make democ-
racy work. Our boys are giving their
lives for it. Absenteeism is a problem
that can and must be solved the demo-
cratic way-that is, by everybody en-
listing voluntarily in the program Of
| total war.
However, there is more than one
| kind of absenteeism. 1t applies not
only only to management and labor
but to everybody else as well. Besides
moral absenteeism from accepting re
sponsibility for Americas war effort
This is the root of the more tangible
form. If moral absenteeisln is cured
the other will be cured
Moral absenteeism comes from:
1.-The philosophy of making ant
spending money while you can.
Refusal to accept the full re
sponsibilty of leadership.
3-The attitude that work is some
thing to be avoided.
4-The attitude that the war vii

Workers Education Bureau, the Iowa
State Federation of Labor, and Morn
ingside College. Kuenzli represented
AFL President William Green. Speak
ers and delegates discussed problems
pertaining to labor, the war, industry,
and postwar reconstruction.
Education For War
KuenzH described Hitler's program
Of education as one that was for war
rather than peace. He said that at
Il conference on public education and
world peace in Paris in July, 1887,
which he attended as the representa-
tive of American teachers, representa-
tives of the Axis powers, Germany,
Italy and Japan, were conspicuous by
their absence, although II nations were
represented Refusal of the Axis ma
tions to participate in this conference
on world peace through education indi-
Gates the vastly important part edu-
cation must play in the postwar world,
he added.
Reviewing the history of the educa-
tion platform of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, Kuenzli, who is a mem
on education, said that organized labor
has always maintained that wide
spread public education is absolutely
essential to the success of democratic
government He told the conferences
however, that neither labor nor edu-
cation nor religion alone can establish
a society of permanent peace, but if
these three powerful agencies, all un-
selfishly devoted to human welfare
combine in Il joint program of action
devoted to achieving the brotherhood
of man, Il world of peace will be as
| sllrred."
Mere Plans Not Enough
Setting forth that there are more
than Il hundred committees on post
| war reconstruction and literally hun
dreds of plans for world salvation,
he asserted that mere plans anG
dreams, although they indicate q
thinking nation, are of no value ant
will fade into thin air unless backed
by powerful agencies to implement
such plans.
"The labor movement of Americ;
and of the world is one of the most
powerful agencies for enforcing plans
for permanent peace" he said. For
this reason, it is essential that organ
lied labor have an important place al
the peace table after the war
| Others who spoke included John ID
COnnOrs, of the Workers Education
Bureau; Roy Brewer, president, Ne
braska State Federation of Labor
Jack Jones, Welch miner and author
and James Wilson, international Labo
