WOWW! Women
On War Work.!

The WAGES in the army are
brave.
The girls in the navy are WAVES,
But the factory girls on war work
now,
Are the girls who'll be known as
the WOWW'S.
We stick to our jobs day and
night,
And turn out needed things for
the fight.
Whether eight hours a day, or
even ten
We're backing all of our fighting
men.
The things we make we won't tell;
But they're sure to make the
AXIS yell
When they come in contact upon
their path,
Tis then they'll learn of woman's
wrath.
Well teach the AXIS a thing or
two,
For they'll be no nor when we
get through.
For we are the WOWW'S, and
going to fix them
Side by side with our men, we'll
crush NAZISM.
And after a day on our jobs in
the shop,
We don't sit down, nor do we not
stop;
We gather together and parties
plan,
To keep up the spirits of each
fighting man.
So believe me sister, if you're
working now
Just say to yourself, Gee, I'm a
WOWW!
Then work a bit harder, and join
in the fun,
And your PEACE will be sweeter
when VICTORYS won.
FREEDOMS torch has been held
in a woman's hand,
AS she stands guard in the harbor
to this, our land.
Wen keep it there, keep it lit by
the sweat of our brows
Ond the tireless effort of this ma
tons WOWW'S.

New York-As a British miner
who had brought his union card
to the United States, Allan S.
Haywood, director of organization
for the Congress of Industrial Or
carnations and one of its vice.
presidents, in an address delivered
by short wave to the workers of
Europe, declared that Organized
Labor is the bulwark of the -four
freedoms" and its members are
willing to give their lives to main
tain them.
He briefly outlined the early
history of the CLIO. He said: "A
remarkable degree of industrial
democracy has supplanted the old,
worn out and dangerous policy of
industrial absolutism," and that "a
greater degree of cooperation is
now being demonstrated between
labor and management. Wages and
working conditions have been i'm
proved"
The CLIO, with some five mil
lion working men and women
members who are largely employed
in war industries, he told his lis
teners, has for its first objective
supplying the implements of war
to such an extent, and in as quick
a time as possible, that it will en-
able our armed forces to smash
the Axis agressors and bring CON-
plete victory to the United Ma
tons.
Beyond its labors, he observed,
the CLIO Committee for American
Allied War Relief is raising funds
to be sent to the peoples of the
United Nations to provide food
kitchens, ambulances, clothing and
medical supplies.

Washington,-On battle fronts
every day men risk their lives to
discover the location and strength
of the military units of the enemy.
Yet at home, too many of us are
presenting the enemy with infor-
nation of the same military value,
the Office of Censorship says in
a statement.
This is the information which
newspapers and individuals are
asked not to tell the enemy:
DO NOT TELL the names of
ships upon which sailors serve.
DO NOT TELL the troop units
i'm which soldiers serve overseas.
There is no objection to reveal
ing that Pvt. John Jones is In Aus
tralia or that Seaman Tom Brown
saw action in the Atlantic, but
there is military information which
endangers the lives of American
fighting men in stating that Pvt.
John Jones, Company c, 6OOth
Infantry" is in Australia, or Sea-
man Tom Brown, Aboard the
u. S. S. Wisconsin," is in the At
lantic.
The Office of Censorship says:
I'VE ask editors not to publish
these troop identificatiOns, md
we ask parents and relatives not
to reveal them. Don't give the
enemy anything that may lengthen
the war.

Women in War Work is a speech
delivered by President Murray to
the CLIO Auxiliaries Conference
held at the time of the Boston
Convention last November. It con-
tains President Murray's views on
the problems involved with the in
flux of women into war industry,
the need for their help in achiev-
ing total war production, and the
opportunities they present to CLIO
unions in organization. Women in

Wages and increased productiv-
ity 60 hand in hand. The Wa
Labor Board says 50. The women
in this case should get not only
equal pay for the anne job but
should be paid MORE for in
creased production. Because they
are a relatively new force in in
dustrial labor today, a lot of ques-
tons concerning their output have
arisen in the minds of employers.
One of these problems raised is
the question of absenteeism, the
fact that women are absent from
work more frequently than men.
1t has been pointed out that poor
working conditions are at fault.
To eliminate these conditions,
Management, in some instances,
claims the employee would owe
the Company.
Women in factories often have
to contend with or endure many
difficulties. A check of 5000 fac
tories revealed that 228,000 wom-
en- were exposed to hazardous
dusts, 1900 to extreme tempera-
ture, 1900 to unreasonable speed
up operations, 1900 to metal poi
sons, 5000 to paints, and $500 to
lead compounds. In 600 of the
factories there were no drinking
facilities, and TOO had inadequate
sanitary facilities. In numerous
cases the women were handling
jobs which the forernen them
selves couldn't handle as efficiently
Better wages for women are
among the objects of trade Union
ism.
The bulletin issued by the
Women's Bureau of the Depart
rnent of Labor failed to mention
that another paramount reason
for woman's absenteeisrn was the
fast growing and distressing prob
lem of childcare. This, of course,
i beyond any adjustment that IN
dustry can make. It requires Wig
orous and immediate action by
federal state and city govern
naents.

SKILL COUNTS

Women are supposed to be able
to do only light work" as OPP
posed to some of the Heavier
work" that has to be done. In
reality a LIGHT job often repre-
sents a high order of skill, exacts
a large share of the workers en-
ergy, and is of great Importance
to the finished product.
Women workers needn't feel I'M
comfortable because they're able
to do only the so-called light"
jobs. Productivity does NOT mean
the expenditure of more and more
physical energy. Actually, the
productivity of the worker can
INCREASE while the expenditure
of physical energy DECREASES,
if new devices and machines are
introduced to take care of the
heavier" work. So that, under
good working conditions, skilled
adjustment of machines, suitable
seating, rest periods and proper
timing of jobs, women a main
tain output on a level equal to,
and sometimes higher than that of
the men.

THE rights men have never before
been imperiled as today In the war
for survival in which our country is en-
gagged each of us has many things at
stake. Most precious of all are the free
doms offered TO all Americans by the Bill
Of Rights of the Constitution of the
United States.
The Bill of Rights was framed by the
first Congress of the United States as
sembled at Federal Hall in New York City.
1t was put into our Constitution 152
years ago on Dec. Is, 1871. Since then,
the 462 words of the Bill of Rights have
been the highest expression of the rights
of man.
Today over the whole world, people
are sacrificing and dying for their own
ideals of freedom. For their own ideals
of a bill of rights. Here at home we
Americans through our bill of rights are
guaranteed liberty of worship, speech,
press and assembly and the personal
security of our homes.
1t is fitting that today when our very
existence is threatened by global war,
the people Of New York State again dedi-
cate themselves on Dec. Is to an apprecia-
ton of our American Bill of Rights.
The Bill of Rights is the expression Of
the will of our people. 1t will survive
just so long as it is enshrined in their
hearts as their most precious possession.
1t will survive as long as every one is

Only last Saturday while rid

gers getting on and off the bus.
Very seldom have they the cor

Some passengers blocked the
aisle and wetid not move when
the driver asked them 10 step
hack please SO he could take on
more passengers.
The bus stops were crowded
with workers waiting in the
cold because they could not get
on the buses and women with
children occupying seats while
tired and worn out men and
women were standing.
Yes, this driver did pass up
some passengers at Plymouth
motor car stop, but | heard hun
say / am sorry but there are 40
people 10 get -eff and f-orrfy nave
room for two and we Will get
stampeded again.
Then there was the stop for
the Conant bus. About 30 people
waiting TO get on and some off.
Then the driver calls. Please
leave by the rear door No, the
passengers leave by front door
ana the people waiting wait
some more. Then he calls.
Sorry that is all. watch your
step / have 10 close the door.
Some left waiting.
Then. too. IL is not only The
public that aggravates these
drivers but they have troubles
Of their own. For one thing |
cannot understand why the
Plymouth bus runs over Knodell
avenue. when that street is 50
narrow with cars parked on both
sides of the street so these
buses cannot pass each other
unless one or the other pulls
over 10 the curb. when Grinnell
avenue from Erwin 10 French
road is a wide street with fac
tories on both sides.
This route alone is enough 10
try the patience of any bus
driver
BY The ways1 think every
third bus is supposed 10 travel
over Grinnell avenue during
. rush hours but il seldom does.
SO lets nor blame the bus
diver but try and have our
correct change, step backward
in the aisle and leave by rear

And. housewives, please do not

I041...TIle Year,
of Decision
Initiation in the Concept of Government
BY MERRYLE STANLEY RUkEYSER

THERE will be relief from the devastating effect
family living standards of conscatory taxation until
whole concept OF government is re-examned and
streamlned
Even the ending of the war itself will not provide
the necessary relief unless the citizens demand reversal
after the armistce of tendencies to blow the of
governmental activity.
The time has to challenge at its roots the far
reaching faacy that the government do everything
better than its citizens.
All the annals of American experience in the economic
field point to the contrary
Government national state local, has never
attained the efficiency and proficiency of we-managed
business enterprises.
Nor have government fiscal officers performed
well in keeping expenditures within receipts as have
typical American housewives who operate the family
budget
THE election results indicate that the establish
ment of the Withholding tax last July constituted
intellectual revolution
For the withholding tax has made it perfectly clear
to every working that he gives up something to pay
for the cost of government.
This vitiaes the Santa Claus myth to the
effect that government gives the citizen something for
nothing @-4
clear what Franklin D. Roosevelt meant in his Pittsburgh
speech the campaign of 1892 when he said taxes are paid
in the sweat of every who abors.
The federal treasury is in truth empty for
the contributions of citizens in taxes and loans which
merely deferred
Thus government give to citizens without
first taking away something from Others
IT'S POWER is chiefly o rob Peter to pay Paul.
1t take away from the producers order to give does
to the idle.
In the circumstances the definition of prosperity by the
late Frank A. Vanderip the full employment of labor at
high wages needs 10 be modernlzed
At present during the armament boom, we have full
employment of labor high but the activities do not
spell prosperity measured by increased material webeg
of typical families.

The maady of excessive spending is losing its popular
appeal The election results challenge Harry Hopkins dictum
of spend and spend elect and elect
On the contrary the gamorous statesman of the future

He will have appeal because he will be able to lift
the retarded living standards of the people by restoring 10

From this viewpoint economy and honesty IN government
