New Deal Figures on Strikes

/ NEVER believe any one In
our national government who
undertakes 10 say that the man
hours or days lost by strikes in
any given time was only X per
cent Of the hours or days
worked or of any other poten-
tial.
I disbelieve everything they
say about strikes, because the
guilt is largely theirs and the
department of labor, which
whips UP the statistics and COM
PARSONS is theirs. too.
You can't expect any New
Dealer 10 give the New Deal the
worst Of it in this very impor-
tant and sensitive matter.
.Anothcr reason Is that they
may mean one thing by strike
when the rest of us mean any
concerted Stoppage Of work by a
union or conducted under union
auspices.
We can be pretty sure that
they wouldn't recognize a strike
and enter il in their statistics

I AM familiar with one such
Il stoppage which lasted around
the clock for 10 days. and in an
industry connected with the war
effort, too, whose promoters lied
up and down that there was no
strike.
There had been a strike
short time before and this had
been settled with concessions on
both sides, the union finally
waving its demand for a closed
shop
However, soon after work re-
Sumed. the union bosses decided
that they didn't want any non
union men TO get the benefit of
the advantages won by their
strike.
Having made an open shop
agreement, they seemed TO be
up against il but just for luck
they called a meeting and
strung it out for 10 days during
which the union men were the
oretically sitting in their hall
talking things out. but actually
were just loafing around the

TO THE EDITOR:
A T THE last meeting Of the
"A Detroit and Wayne County
Federation of Labor a resolu-
ton was passed condemning
Mayor Jeffries proposed l per
cent pay roll tax, which he adj
vanced supposedly for the pur-
pose OF financing a postwar
y construction program. but
which it now appears the real
estate owners are planning 10
grab for the purpose of reduc-
ing the tax on real estate.
The federation also resolved
that all subdivisions OF govern
ment be called upon to plan a
postwar program of necessary
and desirable public improve
ments as a means Of catching
up on those things that have
been neglected during the war
and TO provide a backlog Of
employment opportunities for
men who undoubtedly will be
out Of employment in the Pc
riod Immediately following the
war
The federation does not agree
with the mayor and his aSsoci-
ates that the pay roll tax is
necessary 10 finance postwar
construction program, but is
rather of the opinion that the
failure 10 develop sources of
revenue for the purpose of post
war construction grows out Of
lack of real interest 10 under

confronted with a request from

IN TWO previous articles have described
the great tropical forest and jungle that
covers the islands where our forces are fight
ing the Japanese, and the aptitude that our
enemy has shown in adapting his weapons
equipment and tactics to this difficult terrain.
The ground combats that we are now
giving the enemy in the South Pacific islands
will take place in typical jungle conditions
with all the hardships and difficulties that
this environment adds to the dangers of war
To appreciate what our men do, we should
understand how they do it, and what obstacles
they overcome.
There is a technique to jungle fighting
that l think already can be described. When
the fighting in the Solomons and New Guinea
is over, l believe that our soldiers and
marines will know more about this kind of
fighting than any other nation and will have
mastered a special technique for this type of
combat.
Their technique affects units and their
organization the weapons, the clothing and
equipment of the men, and the proper method
of combat to be followed, where friends and
foes very close to one another in the dark
hot jungle growth, whose foliage is so dense
that little can be seen.
1T Is apparent that effective fighting units
i are small. The individual, soldier is very
much on his own. He can easily be cut of,
lost from his companions so far az sight and
even hearing is concerned and he must be
taught 10 rely upon himself. A squad Of 10
or IL men is probably the most important
unit of ali, and its sergeant and corporal must
know their business, must know their men
and stick close TO them.
In thick jungle the squad is the largest
body Of men, all Of whom can be seen at one
time. and who can be held together under a
single leadership Above the squad we have
the platoon. the company. and, finally, the
main combat unit the battalion.
Reports indicate that a great deal rests
upon the battalion commander, especially in
training But necessity requires that in action
he decentraiize his command. He frequently
cannot communicate with or direct his cap
tains. Neither can they closely supervise
their lieutenants and the platoons.
THERE is a danger under these conditions
i of units getting out Of touch, becoming
separated, isolated, lost or unable to respond
to the will of the battalion commander. The
protection against this dispersal seems TO lie
in very fully explaining every situation to
soldiers throughout the command.
They must be prepared by compromising
the ground over which they must advance,
the positions of the enemy. and they must
know what the mission of the force is, how
far il will advance, where it will be reunited,
and if necessary be reorganized.
Advance in the jungle is necessarily slow
"a series Of thrusts for only few hundred
yards. Even so men will be separated and
lost in the underground and assembly points
