Supervision Fails

Possibly management had hoped
that some order would result from
the chaos created by the tactics
and spying and handing out rep
rimands. IF so, management
should learn from this experience
that terrorism will not increase
production, nor will planting a
spy in the rest rooms improve
morale. Women workers at Plant
Three, as at every other shop,
are vitality interested in their war
work, and as any honest repre-
sentative of management will tes-
tify, and are doing the mems
jobs just as well, and in some
cases better, than the men who
left them.
However, women who are work.
ing now have concrete problems
which it is the responsibility of
management (as well as the
union) to solve. Most serious
among these problems are: Lack
of day nurseries to care for young
children; insufficient recreatioral
facilities for the older kids ROW
out of school for the summer;
physical adjustment to long hours
Of hard monotonous work, plus
housework; bad housing and con-
gested transportation facilities and
restaurants.
If supervision is concerned with
absences and quits among women,
it must give its attention to solv-
ing these problems. Equal pay for
equal work will remove the eco
nomic strain and the personal
indignity felt by women WONG
mems work for "women's wages"
Improvement of the. rest rooms
(not policing them) is the answer.
Labor-management discussion and
action on these questions in order
to help our common war effort
(not hiring a spy to carry on like
a Fascist informer) is the answer.
Note to women at Plant Three:
Join your union and show the
same solidarity on the home front
that our soldiers show on the bat
tlefront. We have battles to win
here, too.

Republicans Cut Again!

On the other hand, If on ac-
count of the restrictions, the gov
eminent were to decide that a
proper subsidy program could not
be operated, and abandoned all
war subsidies-which is what the
trainers of the amendment wanted
to happen--then there would be
literally hell to pay. The cost Of
living would jump is per cent
Immediately. The rol1-back on

Republicans Slash!

Here is the record of what the
Republicans did to the OPA ap-
preparation. In the first place,
after both the Republicans and
the Democrats on the appropria-
tons committee both agreed to
recommend a total sum of $685.
100000 as against SLIT, 900, 900 e.
quested by the bureau of the
budget, they put through a tricky
amendment which has the effect
of cutting the appropriation to
$91, 100000, or about half of the
original request. The amendment
specifically cuts only $35,0O0,00O
from the committee recommended
ton of $165, 100000, but it is so
phrased as to apply entirely to the
$79,000,000 set aside for general
administration and enforcement in
Washington and in the field. The
$86, 600, 900 mandatory reservations
for stating the local boards, pay
ing for ration banking, printing,
ETC., are left untouched. Since the
general operations would have to
be cut to about so per cent of the
present level, the operations and
expenditures all along the line
would have to be cut in the same
proportion.
Then the Republicans put
through an anti-subsidy amend
ment in order, as they put 1t, to
prevent the OPA from controlling
business. The amendment is as
vicious as Republican ingenuity
could devise, but it does not COM
pletely prevent the RFC or the
the principal agencies who have
been paying out subsidies, from
continuing to do so. What the
amendment does, however, is to
forbid any of the hundreds of
thousands of persons in the various
war agencies paid by the war
agencies appropriation from taking
any part in planning subsidies, in
providing figures or information,
or even consulting with anybody
on subsidies. If Donald Nelson,
Judge Vinson or Prentiss Brown
or Milo Perkins or any Of their
subordinates should be called in by
the president to confer on subsi-
dies, they would lose their pay
and their jobs.

per River and Northwestern Rail-

work performed by the Army-tne
Duck Creek Camp-and the Army
Engineers in connection with the
threatened flood as result OF the
rising of Gold Creek. The flood
assumed such proportions in so snort

resources of the city street depart

Duck Greek Camp and from the
Army Engineers, who Immediately
turned out with men and equipment
They arrived just in time and by
great and skillful effort managed
to prevent any serious damage.
Particularly is appreciation ex-
pressed in behalf of the Office Of

danger and was barely saved through
the combined efforts OF the various
agencies"
Mayor Lucas also expressed TN
