Strike Figures Are
Lowest In S Years

WASHINGTON - The Office
of War Information has issued
a strike chart which shows that
man-days of idleness due to
strikes i'm all industry have
dropped during a year of war to
almost zero. 1t is the lowest level
in the last five years.
Men in industry numbered
80, 900 as a monthly aver
age in 1887. In the first ten
months in 1912 this figure was
36,62l,OOO. Yet man-days of
idIeness through strikes fell
from an average of 100000 to
$4,000.
Days lost through strikes this
year are only % per cent of the
average for the last five years of
peace, though monthly employ
ment was up ll9 per cent over
that period. Percentage of time
lost in war industry strikes since
Pearl Harbor was never over

Lynching In Connecticut!

SXTEEN-YEAR-OLD Joe Lemieux recently was
crushed to death between and o'clock i'm the
morning while working around elevator at the
Union Manufacturing Company New Britain The
Connecticut Department of Labor became interested
in the and caused the company to be prosecuted
and fined $3.50 charges of hiring minor; working
him at night; not determining his correct age; and
putting him on dangerous job The case was PLAYED
down in the daily newspapers, apparently with the
hope that it would be quickly forgotten.
Conscientious citizens, however, cannot forget this
incident We who know of it deeply disturbed, for
we know that great social wrong has been committed
in sending child to slaughter in occupation where
ne should have been protected.
The death of this l6year-Od boy points a finger of
shame and at all of who have been Indifferent
to the practice of hiring children with undue regard
to their welfare. 1t is cruel and barbarous thing AS
we have pointed out before, this practice has been
aided and allotted by public disregard and by unwar-
ranted eniency of law enforcement officials i'm dealing
with offenders against the child labor laws
The death of Joe Lemieux should arouse us to de.
mand that the child labor laws be strengthened and
bulwarked and not weakened and undermined i'm these
days of manpOwer shortage. Joe, i'm opinion, was
lynched by our failure to enforce state laws.
