Present Experienced

NEW YORK. May 27 (NANAl-
Sport, being large part of a large
section of the human race, may
need a number of changes and i'm
provements So does the human
race. But one thing sport doesn't
need is A Co-ordinator or any set
of co-ordinators working in or from
Washington.
Sport can take its share of pun
ishment-bue there still is a limit
Sport left under its present guidance
and direction will be far better off
than it ever could hope to be under
Government direction.
Considering the amateur and pro-
feSsional side, sport still has such
experienced administrators as Judge
Lands, Ford Frick and William
Harrldge for baseball, Herbert Bay
ard Swope for racing. Maj. Griffiths
of the Western Conference and Asa
Bushnell of the Eastern Conference
in college athletics, George Blossom
and his USGA committee in golf
Elmer Layden for pro football. good
men in tennis, bowling and basket
ball, including the AAU.
Critics Not Helping Sport.
Sport would be far better off, for
the game itself and every one con-
cerned, which includes many mil
lions, If Washington would let it
work out its own destiny. with the
war effort, naturally, the predom-
inant point
If those now in charge of sports,
with their long experience, can't
handle the problems, then sport
hasn't chance. Many of these
have made mistakes. But those
crlticlzlng them might have made
even bigger mistakes.
1t seems to us that the Govern
ment in Washington already has
Its full share Of problems. It is
difficult to understand where anv
good could come from the addition
OF new Snarl.
lhere are many who believe there
Is strong organized influence
against competitive sport and pro-
iesslonal sport in general on the
side OF mass. muscle-making de-
Velopment, devoted largely to such
matters as calisthenics and non
competitive training. I can't believe
the country has moved into anv
such state of complete insanity.
No Ambassador Necessary.
Competitive sport has been one
OF the major factors in the develop-
ment of this country and it is need
ed more today than it ever was be-
lore. We need thls-not against the
war effort-but as a vital part of the
war effort. 1t is my belief that most
of the leaders in Washington know
this to be true
1t might be that some ambassador
OF sport might help a trlf1e in max
ing his plea at court. I doubt it, For
/ believe most of those in charge at
Washington understand the bene-
fits that can come from a sporting
program handled entirely as a war
effort benefit.

regulations and creel limits here as
go into effect June l on the Sus-
quehanna. 1t is 10 for stripers OF
minimum size of 16 inches. This in
a few years would mean larger runs
of big fish.
A few set the standard by which
the many are judged and that will
be true of fishing during the present
crisis
The honor system for the use of
gasoline for autos was a failure be-
cause of the few who insisted it did
not concern them. For the same
reason, only on a slightly different
basis, fishing and fishermen prob
ably will be affected materially on
account of those anglers and boat
men who are not cooperating in the
war effort
They are in great minority but
their selfishness may mean the
complete ban of all fishing activities,
even if the situation eases later.

On and after Tuesday Maryland
will issue tourist, or part-time fish
ing licenses to residents to fish
any and all public waters for a
period of three days Cost of the
permit, which was authorized by
the last Legislature, is $l75.
At the same time the Potomac
River license will be available for a
like fee. 1t gives Virginians and
West Virginians the privilege of fish
ing the Potomac River as long as it
is not done from the Maryland

The tourist license will add
greatly to the income of the Inland
Fish and Game Commission. There
are many who will fish Maryland
waters for this reasonable cost while
before they fatty refused to pay an
annual nonresident fee for day or

There is doubt as to whether the

Our Soldiers Say

Letters received from Local II men in
the armed services give us every assur-
ance that propaganda dished out by anti
labor forces have had no effect on the
morale of the soldiers but, on the con-
trary, have aroused their resentment.
We are told by our Union men who are
fighting TO preserve the Four Freedoms
that they have no more trust now in the
so-called free press than they did when
they were in civilian life, and they thank
their Union which has taught them to be
able to distinguish truth from lying propa-
ganda.
Every indication points TO the fact that
once the war is won, our men will return
TO us better Union men than ever, for this
war is giving them practical illustration
of the need for unity, and teaches the les
son that proper planning and working to-
gether in holy cause are the principal in
gradients without which true victory can
not be won

Walter Gunfhrup

We regret the resignation of Walter
Gunthrup, who has served as editor of the
Union Leader since 1880.
As an advocate of labor unity, Mr..
Gunthrup's editorial career in recent years
must have indeed been an unhappy and
stormy one, for his organization, unable
TO stem the tide to industrial unionism
under the CIO has sought to use the time
worn formula of the enemies of labor,
divide and rule.
In losing Walter Gunthrup's progress
siye and democratic influence, the cause of
labor unity loses true friend and sincere
advocate.
We wish Brother Gunthrup every sue
cess and sincerely hope that his future will
bring him the peace and contentment
which his work in the labor movement EN-.
titles him to.

You helped my wife get a job

show my appreciation by writing
this letter.
l joined the CIO in 1888 when
the union first started at La
clede Christy Clay Products, and
as far as | am concerned, Local
II is the best union in the United
States.
The way the fellows stick to-
gether in the union and in the
armed forces is what will make
this war end that much quicker,
I'll have to close for this time
wishing you lots of luck and
keep the CIO the strongest
union in the world.
Thanks for the help in getting
the wife of service man a job.

Representatives. Please read the bills and then
follow the instructions and send letters to your
congressman and U. S. senators asking them to
vote against the bills which are opposed to our in
terests as workers.
JOHNSON BILL
One of the bad bills which are now in hearing
is the Johnson bill aimed at curing abs nteeisn1.
This bill has the backing of Admiral Land of
the U. S. Shipping Board and would, if passed,
work hardship and injustice workers. Under
its terms any worker in a plant with
Navy contract would be reported to his local draft
board, if, without prior permission he failed to
show up for work. The implications of this bill
are very far-reaching and would be a distinctly
bad thing for labor.
We are opposed to absenteesm and have re-
peatedy said so, however, doubt very much if
the bill would do more than create serious anita
gonism which would be detrimental to the work.
er's morale and therefore to the war effort.
AUSTIN WADSWORTH BILL
Another bill now in hearing before the house
committee is the Austin w ellsworth bill to draft
labor
This bill should be opposed by all organized
labor despite the fact that Sec'y of Var Stimson
has gone record as favoring it. There should
be no need to explain why organized labor is op-
posed to this bill which even War Manpower
Commissioner McNutt is opposed to.
Write letters to Congressman Ramey, Senators
Harold Burton and Robt. Taft and secretary off
War Stimson protesting the bill and ask the
senators and Congressman Ramey to vote against
it, if and when it is reported out of committee
Do not feel that your letter will not count for
if thousands of letters reach representatives,
they will be most hesitant to vote in favor of the
bill which you are opposed to.
Take interest in the political activities COM
mttee, which under present conditions takes an
increasingly more important part in shaping the
future. Let's work together to protect ourselves
from hostile legislation which has no other excuse
for existing than to repress labor and handicap it
under conditions which already serious i'm
pediment to labor.

Dear Dick, Brothers and Sis
ters:
Well, here it is another night
in camp but things will be lit
tie more enjoyable because / re-
ceived your box at tonight's mail
call. ! felt very appreciative to
know that somebody at home is
still thinking of me, Maybe
some of the boys in Department
307 thought it too much to give
such a small sum of quarter a
week, but if they could just put
themselves in anyone's shoes who
is in the service, they would
soon realize how much it means
to get remembrance from home.
! don't know how to begin to
thank you for all the things that
were inside the box. but will
take this opportunity of show
ing my appreciation.
As you probably would like to
know where | am at and what
| am doing, | will take this
time to inform you. | am in the
Anti-Aircraft Coast Artillery of
the Eastern Defense Command,
and located at Greenpoint which
is a suburb of Brooklyn, New
York. At the present | am act
ing in the capacity of Acting
Supply Sergeant. | have sent
my application in already for
Officers Candidate School. If |
get my letter of acceptance |
will be leaving about the first
of March. | would again like to
thank you for the box, but above
all just keep the war supplies
rolling and maybe | will be able
to come back one of these days
and thank you in person.
| guess it is about time l
signed off as l have to type
few reports that have to be into
headquarters by eight o'clock in
the morning, Wednesday.
Very truly yours,

Grasping After S+roWs

Attempts of the AT of L to secure
NLRB approval for an election at AVA
ton Products division of the Electric
Auto-Lite, represents a futile grasplng
after a straw by a labor organization
which seeks in vain to retain the work
er's confidence which has been irrepar-
ably lost to it.
Workers at Aviation Products are no
different than those of many other To-
ledO plants which have repudiated the
AZ of l. in every election contest and
voted in favor of the UAW-CIO. Work
ers nowadays are enlightened to the
point where actions and not promises
and words enlist their support and win
their confidence.
In the UAW, workers see democratic,
dynamic, militant, progressive Organiza-
ton conscious of what it is doing and
going forward to a goal, the goal of Sc
curity for which every worker strives.
In the AT of L, workers recognize an
undemOcratic, dictatOrial and senle or
ganization tottering on the verge of de-
structiOn because it is Intellectually
bankrupt, and shot through and through
with blinded leaders who are living upon
the reflected gIOries of past greatness.
H. Il
great labor organization now purpOrts to
organize and protect Aviation Products
employees when it cannot save itself from
decay, a move which would be laughabIe
were it not so pathetic.
Aviation Products workers do not
need, nor will they accept the type of pro
lection" offered by the AT of l., for they
are aware that their interests lie not with
a decadent and recumbent labor Organi-
zatOn which has seen better days; but
with a dynamic and democratic Organi-
zatiOn, the UAW.CIO, which truly repre-
sents the real interest of all the workers.
dying man, even when the last coma
of approaching death is upon him, un-
consciously fights for the breath to keep
life within himself. So il is with the AT
of Lit fights for life which is fast
ebbing but which is surely slipping away.
Aviation Products is but additional evi-
dence that hope springs eternal in the
AT of l. breast.

Incentive which has been used by the employ
their stimulus to invest money, produce
goods and compete with their fellow -manufactu
ers, is just as great motive to workers who are
every bit human as their employers. Thus, we
find that insurance and other companies who EN-
ploye statesmen frequently increase their sales by
offering a worthwhile bonus to the statesmen who
show the greatest per cent increase in sales. The
reward may consist of a gold wrist watch q
trip to Washington with all expenses paid.
PREMIUM PAY
No less authority than the Wages and Hour
administration has gone or record to the effect
that premium pay for overtime and Sunday work
has contributed to cut down absenteeism, and that
the reducible amount of absenteeism is rapidly
reaching the point where it approaches the
minimum.
recent case of Lima plant using bank
night idea to promote better work attendance is
in point. This plant places all the workers
badge clock numbers tickets and places the
tickets in a container. Each week ticket is drawn
from the container, and the one whose clock num-
ber corresponds with the ticket wins $50 provided
he did not miss day during the previous work
week In the event that the ones whose clock
number was drawn was ineligible for the prize
because of absenteeism, the amount goes to a
jackpot for the following weeks DIR; wing which
goes to 800. a
REWARD ALL
This plan may work out satisfactory; but for
my own part, would prefer to see the element of
luck and chance eliminated and reward all those
who faithfully attended their work
So far, it seems that the plan of giving
premium pay is the best to stimulate the workers
to faithfully attend their work. which is about the
best argument l know of for the manufacturers
to cease their attacks upon the overtime pay ar
rangements unless they wish to destroy in the
workers the same incentive which they are so fond
of advocating for themselves
AS an example, l would recommend that an
hourly bonus of 10 cents per hour be paid to work.

the things they do. Thus, according to the def
milton of the United States Chamber of Com

that is to amass profits and through profits

make it appear, nevertheless,
we know that it is a factor and
recognize it in our efforts to
aid the war effort.
Governmental authorities as
we'll as some of the more en-

the fact that work, even such
an important piece of work as
making war materiels, requires
some incentive other than the
