ENDING ABSENTEEISM

ENDING ABSENTEEISM
Undersecretary of War Patter-
SON. labor advisers have a one-point
program for ending absenteeism in
war plants. Here is the one point:
Communities should adjust them
selves to the hours of the factories.
Stores, banks, doctors, lawyers, plus
other services should be available
not merely for one shift of workers
but for all shifts.
At present workers on the swing
shift, beginning at midnight, find
themselves out of gear with the life
of the community. The greatest alb
senteeism is among workers on the
odd shifts, and can be attributed not
to indifference to winning the war
but to the inconvenience of trying
to live and buy food and get Johnny
to the doctor, while the swing shift
turns night into day.
Absenteeism is higher among
women than men, which may mean
nothing more than trouble with the
ration board. A woman will take
a day off from the factory because
she has to register for canned foods,
or because a child is sick in the
family, or because she hasn't had
time to buy new dress at the store.
Remedy for this is nothing less
than two or three shifts on the part
Of the services that serve the work.
ers. The ration board, it is suggest
ed, should come to the factory.
In many cases, war department
advisers say, absenteeism is caused
not by loafng but by overwork. In
certain machine-tool areas, such as
New England, men have been work.
ing so and Sc hours a week for
years. They are simply exhausted.
incidentally, this factor is the
principal cause of absenteeism In
Germany, where workers are worn
down by unremitting labor and long
hours.
Note: There is little sympathy in
Undersecretary Patterson's office for
the Rickenbacker crusade against
labor. It is regarded as useless and
unsound to try to appeal to workers
over their leaders.

Marines in the Air

The fiiers of the United States
marine corps are so active In this
war that the words Sin the air"
have been officially added to the
Marines Hymn, which now reads:
From the halls of Montezuma to
the shores of Tripoli, we fight our
country's battles in the air, on land
and sea"
The Ely miner., 1943-03-18

w first married they were
W really poor. Harry
Brown made $3.50 a week, and
was glad enough to get it. That
was in 1880. Maybelle Brown
managed thrifty in three small
rooms, and when little June was
born she did everything for the
baby, too. She went to hos
pitaI ward to save money, she
washed didies and dishes and
went without pretty clothes. Be-
fore she had been married two
years Harry had lost his job and
little Peter had added himself
to the family.
MaybelIe Brown never lost heart.
They moved in with her father and
mother, and she managed to keep
the doubled household so comfort
able that when better times came
they hated to part, and the Browns
stayed on. Maybelle's father died,
leaving her mother the house, and
there they all still are living. There
is plenty of money now; Harry works
from eight to four every day for
twice as much money as he ever
made before, and besides that he
is often kept until seven or eight
o'clock at night for overtime work.
The trouble is, this money has ex-
panded Harry's ideas to such an
extent that he has lost interest in
his home. Often, if he is kept late,
he goes to night-club with some of
his associates, and dimes there, sit
ting for hours over the table, laugh
ing and talking. Girls go to these
places and strike up acquaintance
with the men. On two separate oc-
casiOns Harry hasn't troubled to
notify MaybelIe that he isn't coming
home to dinner, but has gone on
from the restaurant to dance with
these girls. He has never been very
late IN returning.
Harry always apologies" she
says. He says he was tired, hun
cry, he just didn't think. You have
your nice little dinner all ready he
says, and I'm afraid III make you
mad If I say I'd rather stay down.
town When I ask him WHY he'd
rather stay downtown than come
home to the children, whom he real
" adores, he answers that oh, you
get kind of demoraliZed, and the
other fellows are doing it, and it
just seems the easiest way.
Gets So Frightened.
'I get so frightened sometimes,
afraid that will lose him. Is this
the beginning of a more serious sep
aratien? Perhaps ought to say that
my mother is quite different from
most mothers-in-law. She is strong,
quiet, amusing, wonderful with the
children, who think there is no one
like Gam Harry really loves her.
They work crossword puzzles, agree
politically, follow radio serials to-
gether and, when she was i'll five
years ago, no son could have been
more frightened than Harry was.
When Harry doesn't show up for
dinner she usually isn't aware of it,
for she is on the hospital kitchen
staff and is over there from four
until about nine every night. If she
does suspect it she doesn't make any
comment. But to be alone with the
children, watching the clock, putting
dishes back in the oven, wondering
whether to start dinner or to wait,
seems to break me down. All the
time, In my mind, I am arguing with
Harry, and that isn't healthy for
anyone. On the other hand, I don't
want to be nagger, or a shrew, or
suspicious, or spying, and I can't
seem to see what is the sensible
course. But you must have had this
problem before, and perhaps you
can help me-"
The Ely miner., 1943-03-18

If I could, MaybeIIe, it would be
by telling you what have told thou
sands of women in the course of the
last Is years. It is that YOU are a
person, yourself, not part of Harry.
No matter how deep the love be-
tween a man and his wife, or how
heart-flling the intimacy of the mar
riage tie, the dear sharing of home
and hearth and the love of children,
no marriage can be happy unless
the wife has within herself the ele-
ments that make her independent of
her husband, and of every other
human being. To pour all your de-
votion into your love for a child or
for man, is to jeopardize your own
happiness forever. To watch and
worry, wondering if he caught the
five-ten 'bus-no, but he may be on
the five-forty-no, well, then he
won't be here until half-past six, is
to take the very course that will
lessen his devotion, and accomplish
the thing you dread.
Insist That He Telephone.
But insist that he telephone you
when he cannot get home for dinner,
adding cheerfully that is, if you're
so tired, dear, it seems easier to
stay downtown" Dine with the chill
dren promptly afterward, always
helping them with homework. Busy
yourself with letters or a book or
sewing or any one of score of alb
sorbing occupations, taking the chill
dren on free nights to early movies.
Slip across the street to the hospital
and lend Mother a hand; compose
poetry; make up crossword puzzles;
take up your old piano practice-aII
those things that sound so dull in
prospect are completely fascinating
once you get into them. They may
well provide a real rival to Harry's
amusements in the night club with
the little vagrant girls.
Has the Real Thing.
After all, Harry has the real thing,
the deep affection of his wife, the
little hot meal cooked especially for
him, the children to get into his lap
and tell him their news, his own
chair and lamp, and it will be an
unusual thing if he is shallow and
unfeeling enough to ignore them
very long. These are disturbed
times for our minds as well as our
bodies, and for our souls, too; and
Harry is feeling the release of a new
kind of work, higher pay, exciting
conversations and the envy all men
out Of uniform-being men, which
is to say being IN many ways still
small boys-feel for men in uniform.
If, when he telephones at six
o'clock that he can't get home, you
answer aniably, well, have a good
time. III save the liver and bacon
for tomorrow, and the children and
I will go over and have dinner with
Mother. It's a glorious night, and
they love the hospital cafeteria. And
Harry, don't miss that article about
the Wilson's in the News tonight.
Don't be too late and get yourself
all tired!"
That's the sort of thing that is
calculated to bring a man home
again. Not that special night per-
haps, but other nights. Give him
rope, Maybelle, play him on long
line. And no matter how fattering,
how young and gay are the girls he
meets IN the night club, be sure
that he knows that at home there is
a pretty, interesting busy woman
who asks nothing better than to
prepare him good meal, see that
he enjoys it and give him the in
terest, the companionship and the
sympathy that first attracted him to
her u years ago.

COURTESY AND
BUSINESS TO-DAY


IT WAS Observation-Disclosures, "
"all-the-tariff-the bear,
''freeze ckholders-in-the-
elfsh-interests-of-t the manipulation
policies of the railroads of third
of century and more ago that cost
the roads the respect and confidence
of the American people. The ef-
ficiently operated railroads of today
are paying for the sins of past
generation. The American people
are representative of, and own, the
railroads, and the American people
are paying.
Rail rebates, treating labor as
merely commodity to be exploit
ed to the fullest possible extent, and
other forms of Squeeze" play on
the part of many corporations at,
and before the turn of the century,
are other sins committed by past
generation and which we are paying
for today.
Such things have produced the
growing socialistic tendencies in the
nation. Such things are the founda-
ton on which is being built the de-
mand for a change In our American
way of life, our American system
of free enterprise.
Those things are gone today, but
the evidence has not all disap-
peared. The attitude of some en-
ployees lacks that element of cour-
tesy needed to convince us that the
old order has passed. The discour-
tesy of such employees keeps the
old fires of hatred burning and con-
stitutes a disservice to their employ
ers and to the system which makes
their employment possible.
The same attitude of discourtesy
is found among some merchants In
some cities and towns. They are
prone to make service to the public
a favor to the patrons and to sell
to them grudgingly. Where such an
attitude dominates the stores of a
town, that town is on the downgrade
as a market center. It but drives
the business of people of one COM
munity to other trade centers.
Courtesy, a smile, a welcoming
hand, an evidence of interest, is an
asset to the business Of both the
great corporation and the individual
merchant. A general attitude of
courtesy treatment to the public will
disarm those who would change
our American way.

CAN WE PAY THE BILLS
OF AN IDEALISM

A PROVISION of the peace pro-
gram now being prepared at Wash
ington is to rejuvenate all of Europe
and Asia, to rebuild all that has
been destroyed by war in both Allied
and Axis countries, with America to
pay the bills. It is a worthy ideal
ism, but can we carry the financial
burden? We paid a considerable
share of World War 1, and contribut-
ed heavily to the restoration of both
Allied and enemy countries, but the
cost Of that restoration was small as
compared with that to follow this
war. If the American people want to
pay such a bill, we should be telling
our wishes to our congressman at
this time. It will be hard for them
to believe that we wish to do any,
thing of that kind.
