complain after getting accustomed to
it. Life here could be a whole lot
worse. We have a big job to do, so we
take it cheerfully and the time passes
very quickly. I have had nine months
of overseas service and have no COM
plants to make. But, of course,
wouldn't mind being back in the
States where I could go to USO club
and have some fresh food for a
change. Field rations are hard to take
at times.

Another Elyite also found life lot
different on the battlefront than in
the training camp. He is Sgt. Vincent
Hren, who participated in the inva-
son of Attu. Responding to a recent
request for contributions to this page,
Sergeant Hren writes from an undis-
closed Pacific base:
mo doubt you know by now that ]
was on Attu. I was one OF the more
lucky ones to come out of it with only
a bullet in my left shoulder blade and
few pieces of shrapnel thrown in for
good measure, but that didn't stop me
for long. After seven weeks in the
hospital, was ready for more, which
cannot tell about now.
Most of the magazines covered the
Attu campaign pretty well, but could
top some of the stories with things
that were omitted. I'd like to THANK

Feeding Calves without Milk

A calf meal that may be used as
a substitute for milk is made up OF
four feeds mixed in the proportion
of / part Of each by weight. The
feeds used in the mixture are old
process linseed meal, hominy feed,
red-dog flour and dried blood. When
used in the place of milk, this meal
should be mixed with warm water,
about 100 degrees F. in the proper
ton of pound of meal to gallon
of water. Be careful not to over
feed.

Using Land Properly

Roughly speaking there are about
$4,000, 900, 900 acres of land on the
earth lying in a climate favorable
for crop production, or about eight
acres for each inhabitant. The well
fare of future generations and their
standard of living depends upon our
ability to use this land area properly.

In the English game of bowls the

Great care is taken in making the

SLAVERY REEVES

Whether the institution of slavery
originated in warfare may be disputed but
the enforced labor of thousands of foreign
ers in Germany can easily become slavery
if war lasts very long, or if Hitler wins the
struggle.
In fact, the foreigners now transported
wholesale into the Reich are, for all prac-
teal purposes the slaves of the Nazis.
They work under orders, are paid whatever
the Nazis decree and live where and how
the Nazis let them exist. SO
If Germany runs short of fuel they will
eat less and less Their tasks will not dimin-
ish. Consequently, they will slowly starve
while the super race feeds its soldiers
and their families.
The deportation of workmen into Ger
many, from the fringe of conquered coun-
tries, ought to remind Americans of the fate
that awaits any people who deal with Hit
Ter and his agents. There can be no faith
in the word of the Nazis and without con-
fidence there can be no peace.

TYPEWRITING

Stenographers and typists may think
that they have trouble with the less than 80
keys on the standard American typewriter
but they ought to try the japanese language
machine that has 2,340 keys, and 500 extra
ones.
Considering the volume of typewrit-
ing turned cut on American machines, we
are very thankful that the keyboard is OF
limited size. We can hardly imagine what
the national output would be if the keys
were multiplied by fifty.

mains of arrangements participation

Foremen, as leaders, perform
managerial functions. Through them
management participates in opera
tons and interprets its purposes to
employees. Foremen customarily have
the power to hire and discharge. They
are, therefore, part of management
employers, not employees. This en-
ployer-employee status is recognized
by organized labor. Foremen gener-
ally are denied membership in unions;
are expressly excluded from union
labor and collective bargaining con-
tracts
Their unionization would: ID de-
part from established union labor
practice; CD deny heretofore accept

relations; cd deny owners the right
to have their business run by man

agerial functions.
These new leaders would not rep
resent employees; would not repre-
sent employers. Who then would they
represent but themselves
For owners to lose this last vestige
in management is worse than State
Socialism, under which the owner
has at least a remote voice in the
selection of management by ballot
Industry cannot be held responsible
for war or postwar production if it
is stripped of its managerial facultiesl
MIR. KEYS CHALLENGES: Man
agement still exercises every single
right with one exception. The Wag-
ner Act stopped employers from
abusing and endangering the whole
system of free enterprise by exploita-
ton of labor.
Foremen, too, suffered from the
short-sighted policy of unrestrained
greed which was responsible for the
unionization of all workers. But an
erroneous Interpretation of the Wag-
ner Act temporarily deprived fore
men of proven collective
bargaining.
Impartial Investigation of the status
of the great majority of foremen will
quickly establish the fact that they
no longer have the right to hire and
fire or to make company policies.
They are strictly employees and are
entitled to protection.
\
MR.. DESYERNINE REPLIES:
Manufacturer associations are pure
ly experience-exchange and Stats
teal and research agencies. They
never dictate policies binding on
anyone or control the activities of
any member.
The proposed "Foreman's Associa-
ton is designed to be union in
which outside paid organizers win
dictate the employment conditions,
wages, relations, ETC., of its members
and will undoubtedly assert exclusive
collective bargaining rights for all

/ 1t is the fact that its organizers, to
justify their pay, will claim these
prerogatives which would impair

Robert Howard Keys
President of the Foreman's
association Of america.

q MR.. KEYS OPENS: The, average
foreman of today acts as his own
negotiator with top management in
order to get pay and recognition COM
mensurate with his efforts and ex-
perience. In all too many factories.
only those supervisors who are blessed
with gifted tongues, or who know the
right people, or who have the desire
as well as the physical stamina to
mix after hours, can hope to realize
adequate rewards. In such plants,
foremen who even possess superior
technical and supervisory ability. but
lack comparable promotional tech
nique, work under a discouraging
handicap.
When any foreman discovers that
he cannot get equitable treatment.
I then inevitably, his morale begins to
suffer. Unfortunately, this mental at
] titude always communicates itself to
. those working under him. Consequent-
ly, their morale boys down. This in
turn materially hampers both quality
and quantity of output, for produc-
ton schedules can hardly be achieved
and maintained when morale is poor.
! Foremen should unionize to help
create plant-wide stability and indus
trial democracy wherever they work.
BY so doing they safeguard their
basic rights and promote their indi-
vidual and group welfare and adj
- nb aid AID
finally, they will secure the same
manifold and proven advantages now
enjoyed by the rank and file.
MIR. DESvERNINE CHALLENGES:
Technical and managerial ability al
ways supersede the gifted tongue"
in industry's quest for leadership.
Industry is interested in increased
production through superior techno-
logical skillS, elimination of waste
and reduced costs, thereby providing
low costs to consumers and wider
distribution of its products. Foremen,
: by virtue of their managerial func-
tons, have the opportunity to DEM
onstrate these talents. Unionization
of iforemen would: Cd Stifle initia-
tive; 70 dilute individual achieve
ment (by Standardization and outside
,controls); CD hamper advancement
of ingenious young men (who have
provided industry with the know
how; (4) destroy the vital ex-
changes between employee and man.
agement so necessary to continued
s industrial progress.
MIR. KEYS REPLIES: It is fantastic
to state that industry will be social
tzedg merely because foremen are
driven into unionization TO protect
their rights. Why permit employers
TO protect themselves by joining the
Association of Manufacturers but for
bid foremen to belong to their own
association.
Incontrovertible evidence of the
forefnan's desire to settle his par
ticular problems equitably with man.
agement is the rapid growth of the
absolutely independent union, the
Foreman's Association of America.
Its purpose is to safeguard minimum
individual rights. Members are urged
to be loyal and conscientious toward
their employers, improve themselves
by self-education, show initiative and
work hard for advancement

WHO'S OK IS GoRED
.That was fine story in The Citizen

That was fine story in The Citizen
yesterday
So say readers because the story was
about somebody else, who is ripsnorting
mad, even though he admits readily that
everything in the story is true.
The Citizen has said good many times
that its sole concern is in the news and, il.
ii happens to concern friend or foe, news
value is still the outstanding factor in the
estimation of The Citizen.
There are some stories that neither
The Citizen nor any other paper uses. but
the factor of friendship is not the measuring
rod that The Citizen employs in deciding
whether or not story should be published.
Neither does The Citizen go out of its way to
use story just because it concerns man
whose attitude toward this paper is not
friendly. If it is used in his case, it would
be used also if the central figure is friend
That is the only way to be fair, but that
very fairness causes many complaint. The
Literary Digest, when at the height of its
popularity, remarked that it was positive of
its fairness when each side to matter un-
der discussion accused the Digest of favor
ing the other side. s'efT Eaf1f3g5O
The same thing has happened to The
Citizen frequently. Al short time ago one
side toa local question of great Importance
declared The Citizen was supporting the
other side, while that side accused The Cit
izen of being unfair. Yet the only course
The Citizen pursued was to explain both
sides fully, so that it's readers could arrive
at their own opinions on the question under
discussion. Z Sg.ls
He is presuming man, if not down
right prejudiced, who assumes the position
he takes is always right. Some people go
even farther than that: they assert there
is only one side to a question and that they
be question without two sides, and they
completely. Danish the thought they may be
on the wrong side.
But the majority of Key Westers are
fair-minded, and only a few days ago The
Citizen met young man who represented
that attitude in the highest degrees. He
said:
Though realize that the story iii The

and / don't criticize The Citizen for running
