Brewster Plane Strike

AiC SLllkc WHICH IldS SIluI GOWN
the townsville (Pa) plant of the
Brewster. Aeronautical Corporation
brings new angle into the picture
of wartime labor disputes.
Essentially, this is a strike against
the military authorities. The work.
ers at the plant, which turns out the
hard-hitting Corsair fighter plane
for the Navy, walked out when
several plant guards were placed
under military arrest for refusing to
obey an order from their command
ing officer. The guards are members
of the Coast Guard Temporary Re-
serve, and are therefore subject to
military discipline, but they also
seem to have civilian status of a
kind, since their salaries are paid by
the Brewster corporation and they
claim certain rights under the cor
poration's contract with the CIO
union in the plant.
This, on its face, is an unhealthy
condition. 1t is understandable that
the Navy should want to have juris-
diction of the men guarding so vital
a war plant, but If they are to be
taken into the Coast Guard. and
thereby brought under military con-
troll, they ought not to be left on the
payroll Of private employer, nor
should there be any basis for labor
union to assert the right to dictate
their working conditions.
The presence of these undesirable
factors in the background, however,
does not alter the fact that this
strike is an exceptionally fragrant
violation Of the no-strike agreement.
The planes manufactured in this
plant are essential to the conduct of
the war in the Pacific. 1t is a fair
assumption that every day of pro-
duction lost will cost the lives of
some men who are fighting the Japa-
nese. And the workers at the Johns
vile plant, not content with shutting
down that establishment, are trying
to prevail upon workers in other
Brewster plants to strike in sympathy
with them.
The strike also is a direct violation
OF the provisions of the Smith Con-
nally bill, and, in refusing to obey an
order from the War Labor Board
that they return to their jobs, the
Brewster employees are inviting ap-
plication Of the penalties provided In
the executive order issued by the
President last week to enable the
board to enforce it's own orders.
In ordering the strikers back to
work, the board warned that it would
take all steps within it's authority"
to compel compliance. Under the
executive order, the board, in situa-
ton Of this kind, is empowered to
call upon the director of economic
Stablllzation to direct the Manpower
Commission to cancel the draft de-
ferments of the strikers or to deny
them other employment At the time
this was hailed as putting teeth in
both jaws" of the boards enforce
ment machinery. The handling of
the Brewster case will show whether
1t is intended to use these teeth
against employees as we'll as against
employers.

The President at Ottuwu

The President made an excellent
speech in bidding adieu yesterday to
his hosts. the friendly and neigh
borly Canadians. There is nothing
artificial about the Presidents SEN
timents toward Canada. His warm
graciousneSs in their expression
must have brought real response
from his millions of listeners on both
sides of the international boundary.
Rejecting In every line the fine
spirit of cooperation and mutually
of interests which marked the Quebec
conference, the Presidents address
was most appropriate conclusion of
his visit.
But all of his words were not di-
rected to his friends on this side of
the water. There was a sting more
sharp than mere ridicule for Der
Fuehrer in the Presidents expression
of the wish that "the Nazi leader
could have been present in spirit at
the Quebec conference" In reality,
the President must have been taunt-
ing the Nazi leader because he was
present-"in spirit" at Quebec.
There is no doubt that the thoughts
of the Master of Intuition, along
with those of all his Axis cohorts,
were centered on Quebec throughout
the proceedings And from those
thoughts they could derive small
comfort.
The spiritual ties which bind the
Allies in their common fight for de-
cency against the Axis gang formed
the theme for the Presidents mes
be of great concern to the Axis. What
does concern them, however, is the
practical, working partnership which
has resulted from common spiritual
aspirations. And that partnership,
in action, was demonstrated again at
Quebec. The conference and It's
predecessors have pletely
changed old conceptions of 'interna-
tional conferences" Those who read
Gen. Pershing's memoirs, or who re-
member comparable meetings be-
tween the Allied representatives dur
ing the First World War, doubtless
are impressed with the new mean
ing that attaches now to an Allied
conference. There is nothing about
y fn q
batting society, with each speaker
taking the negative side of the oues-
ton.
For these conferences, the pattern
for which was set at CaSablanca,
have developed unique procedure
of their own for which there are no
precedents and which already have
demonstrated their ability to achieve
results. They are called for a def
mite purpose. The ground to be COW
cred has been mapped in advance,
all the way from outlines of policy
and strategy down through the ranks
of the pick-and- shovel technicians.
The conferees have learned to know
each other and to work together
The President was not indulging
merely in colorful metaphor when he
spoke of communicating, later on,
the secret information of the Que
bee conference" to Germany, Italy
and Japan. They will learn it quickly
enough.
Against this background of achieve
ment through partnership, the Pres
ident naturally looks forward to the
same sort of a working agreement
when the war has been won, work.
ing agreement to rebuild a better
world through the concerted action
of decent men.

laps Fight Fierce|y
To Hold Diminishing
New Georgia Sector
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC. Aug.
l2.-The tenacious quality of the
japanese fighting man. resisting un-
til blasted out of his fox hole or shot
down from his treetop sniper posi-
ton, is being demonstrated anew
within the slowly diminishing area
where the enemy is holding out on
Northern New Georgia.
The battle for Munda ended a
week ago today. On that day Ameri-
can infantry elements of the 25th,
9th and 43d Divisions and the ma
rineS overran the 4,500-foot airstrip
dotted with wrecked Japanese planes
Until Munda's capture. Bairoko
Harbor to the north on the Kula
Gulf was technically the supply port
for the airfield garrison, although in
actuallty Bairoko was cut off from
communication with Munda in mid
July by American jungle troops. But
with Mundas S fall, Bairoko's military
Importance declined and, indeed,
the area constituted potential
death trap.
Still Resisting in Force.
American forces already had one
jaw set against Bairoko. moving on
it from the northeast after putting
ashore at Rice Anchorage on July S.
With Munda's fall, another Amer
lean force began advancing north
ward from the airf1eld 1t deployed
around a mangrove swamp. The
right flank within a few days
reached a point miles southeast
Of Bairoko and joined the force
which came down from the north
east, effecting an encirclement.
Despite this seemingly hopeless
situation from the Japanese stand
point, the enemy has put up such
fierce resistance against the force
which deployed to the left of the
swamp that today's communique
from Gen. Douglas Macarthur re-
ported it still was only halfway
toward its objective.
Widespread Attacks on Shipping.
Once the japanese have all been
pinned against the Northern New
Georgia coast. they face either cer-
tain annihilation or the risky task
of escaping across the Kula Gulf,
where American naval units al
ready have scored two notable VIC
tories.
The news elsewhere, as recorded
in today's communique, was of
widespread air activity against
japanese shipping. The enemy has
suffered such severe losses among
heavier ships that he has favored
in recent months the use of barges
and small conveys which lend them
selves to swift movement at night,
to concealment, and are harder to
hit.
The communique reported the
sinking of 1,500-ton ship, serious
damaging of 2,500-tonner and
damaging of third small ship in
attacks by Liberators on small con-
.voys in the vicinity of New Ireland
supply point for the big enemy
base of Rabaul, New Britain. 1t
also told of widespread successes
against barges, Is of which were
sunk in the general area of Japan's
menaced air base of Salamaua, on
Northeastern New Guinea.

The raiders were spotted before
reaching the French coast" the Ger
man radio added. They were inter-
cepted and many heavy air battles
were fought above the clouds"
The broadcast said the raiders
concentrated their heaviest attack
against Bonn, which has popula-
ton of approximately 100000.
Bonn. the target of five RAF
raids since the war began, is known
chiefly for its university and as the
birthplace of Beethoven. 1t is
large railway center on a Rhine
Valley line which forms one of
Germany's most important north
south communications systems. It's
industries include factory produc-
ing light alloys, -four mills and
warehouses.
An Air Ministry communique did
not list specific objectives of the
night-raiding Mosquitoes.
Mines Laid in Enemy Waters.
In other operations by the RAF
during the night. mines were laid In
enemy waters and railway targets
in France and the Low Countries
were attacked One night bomber
was reported missing.
German planes retaliated last
night in the heaviest raid on Britain
in several weeks, when about 10
raiders dumped incendiaries on an
unidentified southwest coast town.
Eight persons we're killed and a
number were injured, it was an
nounced, when bombs destroyed a
number of dwellings and stores and
damaged two schools, a church and
a number of shops.
Two neighboring towns also were
attacked, it was announced, but only
slight damage and no casualties we're
reported.
The overnight attacks on German
war production plants in the Ruhr
and Rhineland followed a heavy
Tuesday night attack on the Nazi
shrine city of Nuremberg, where
heavy Raj bombers spilled more
than 1,500 long tons Of explosives.
CA report from Bern, Switzer-
land. received by CHS said 1000
bodies had been recovered from
the Nuremberg ruins and that
10000 persons were made home
less. Fires still burned in the
city last night, the report saidD
RAF crewmen returning from the
raid on Nuremberg reported that
the Nazis have begun using Dornier-
217 bombers as night fighters, in
dicating a possible serious shortage
of fighter planes in the German
Air Force
The Dornier-2l7 is a fairly heavy
two-engined bomber that normally
carries crew of four. 1t has been
used at times as a e-bomber, but
this was the first report of its use
as an interceptor.
In yesterdays daylight action,
WhirlWind bOmberS attacked six
small Axis vessels near the Isles
of De Gioro and Brittany, blowing
up four E-boats, setting another
aflre and blowing up the sixth
vessel.

Shrimp Fishermen
Take Ice by Force
To Save Cargoes
BY the Associated Press

BY lhe associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. l2.-An ice
shortage which threatened the
shrimp fishing industry in coastal
Louisiana was temporarily relieved
today after supply boat crews forci-
bly, took the main production of one
ice plant for serving the shrimp
f1esets on three lower lakes.
Picket lines we're established
about the plant of the Louisiana Ice
Service, Inc, and roads were
blocked while 10 boats were supplied
with ice to prevent spoilage of their
catches.
G. c. Lewis, president Of the
Fishermans Supply Association.
said this action temporarily eased
the shortage but that unless some
thing definite was done on appeals
for an increased production of ice
for icing boats the situation would
become worse in the next few days.
The picketers shut off door to-
door ice dealers and in orderly
fashion diverted the supply to their
boats. The company offered no
objection.
Estimates of the number of
shrimp trawlers tied up because of
the shortage ranged up to 1000 and
DR.. John M. Whitney, city director
of public health, announced that
four and a half tons of shrimps al
ready had been destroyed here this
week because of insufficient icing.
w. W. Anderson, New Orleans
area co-ordinator of fisheries.
warned that the city and the rest
of the Nation may be without
shrimps If the ice shortage con-
tinues and attributed the scarcity
to the war-swollen population, lack
of electric and gas refrigerators and
poor distribution.
l.. E. Frazar, district manager of
the ONCE of Price Administrator
said the rationing of ice may be
necessary if the proposed conserva-
ton program fails to work.
Representative Hebert, Democrat.
of Louisiana said he was informed
that the ice shortage exists all over
the country. He asserted that
with just little cooperation from
Government bureaus the ice short
age can be relieved"

toured his State and found among
the people "a bitter feeling of doubt
resentment and distrust, occasioned
by the release o. this latest direc-
tive" on the drafting Of fathers.
Many local board members and
