Here's what one of them said:
you've got hold Of q hot

IL right now. You heard what
r. j. Thomas said about IL. A
lot Of them are saying the same
thing. Just like that letter.
"And I can understand how
they feel.
"Now, let me give you this
slant on 1t. Things can change
fast In war. One day we're
screaming for tanks. Suddenly
We have tanks all over the
place, tanks lined up In vacant
lots. tanks waiting for ships TO
move them.
"Or something happens and

don't want 10 look like labor

going 20 want those men soon.
What we have to build II
beyond the pale Of management.
II isn't their fault, either"
1t seems as though that could
be cured.
No, not the interruptions.
Well have them.
But why not do the most OBJ
vious thing in the world? Just
tell the workers what's hap
pening. Employees with the in
telligence TO build these things
certainly are smart enough to
understand the rest of the pic
ture. Tell EN-. They'll stand
UP under all sorts of hardships,
when they know why.
To tell the truth. I suspect
there's some absenteeism that
springs from sheer selfishness,
laziness and tho1ghtlessness.
Once you clear away the OBJ
lection mentioned above for alb
senteeism, you'll automatically
separate the sheep from the
goats.
Post explanations on the bull
letin boards, or put them in the
plant newspapers. After THAT,
absenteeism. if il STILL exists.
will be taken care OF by the
workers themselves. Anyway,
that's what ! hope, and what l
think would happen

He explained, however. that II
was his belief that strikes were
not solely due to the workers, but
that management was ofttimes
the guilty party.
Witte is busy today setting UP
his offices in the Penobscot Build

and industrial representatives of
the 12-man tri-partite board are
named within the next day or so
the board can swing into action.
First on his agenda is the pass

Edwin -Witte is i'm Detroit

He frankly admits that he ale
ways has been curious about the
complex economic and labor rela-
tons problems of the greatest
industrial city in the universe.
Witte is the chairman of De-
troit's War Labor Board. As such
he will pass on voluntary wage
agreements and play leading
hand in all disputes.
PERPETUAL SMILE
A chunky, partially bald man
who wears perpetual smile,
Witte strikes one as having the
IDEAL temperament for dealing
with Detroit's temperamental

But don't let the smile deceive

Stocks Get A Beating
In Nelu York EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, May 11.-RE
Stocks took beating in today's
early market rounds but many
cut initial casualties running to a
point or more and assorted issues
were in plus territory when the
final going sounded.
The Axis debacle in Tu.1isia was
cheering to Wall street although
further profits were cashed in the
morning on the theory the list may
have, to some extent, discounted
the outstanding Allied victory.
Selling never was urgent at any
time, however, and a revival of
bidding for scattered favorites
eventually stemmed the slide.
Despite a few blocks of low
priced performers Of 10000 to 49,
600 shares, dealings were well un-
der those of Monday. Most Of the
recently bulging penny" utilities
failed to get anywhere. Rails, cop
pers, motors, mail orders and air.
crafts generally were in arrears.
Several gold mining issues were
given a last-minute push-up.
The Associated Press average of
60 stocks was off 2 of a point
at 50.7. Transfers of 1893, 1850
shares compared with 2,515, 400
yesterday. 1t was the first 5-hour
stretch since April 80 that the total
was under the 2-million mark.
Cheering to trend optimists were
the Stock Exchange figures, re-
leased after the close, revealing
that the short interest, as of April
30, amounted to 882,376 shares,
largest since June 80, 1888. On
March 81 it was 774,871 shares.
The fact these "shorts'' will
have to cover" or re-buy, some
time, indicated to analysis that
the market was in entirely a
healthy" condition.
Stocks on the losing end today
included Santa Fe, N. Y. Central,
