Kaiser Criticizes
WOrk-Or-Fight Bill

Washington, D. c. - Henry j
Kaiser, West Coast shipbuilder, be-
lieves that absenteeism in war indus
tries can be corrected "by voluntary
and free methods" without passage of
proposed work fight legislation.
"You can't find out whether legisla-
tion is needed or not until you deter
mine the cause of the condition." he
told the House Labor Committee.
Labor is not always right, but it
is improper to make accusations
against labor as has been done in
connection with absenteeism until
you know the cause"
On absenteeism, he reported that in
the Kaiser yards absences average
between and 8 percent, due in part
to transportation and housing Difficult
ties.
"There always is percentage of
workers who fail to care, and must be
stimulated he conceded, adding,
"But there must be fairness and JUS
tice on both sides. Management can
be and often is at fault in cases of
absenteeism."

Hamilton, Ohio. - Final plans for
the county wide blackout, Thursday
night, April 8, were made by Hamil-
ton, Middletown, Oxford, and Butler
County defense officials tonight in
the Champion Activities Building.
Robert Clark, Hamilton Defense
Commander, said the date had been
approved by W. j. Burns, Assistant
Director of the Ohio State Council of
Defense.
The test will start between 9 o'clock
and $3.50 and continue for 80 minutes.
All traffic must stop, buildings,
stores, and residences, will be dark
ened, and other blackout rules OBJ
served.
The Hamilton Council will dis

too startled when the whole thing
doesn't work perfectly.

You can expect many case of a
neighbor passing over a spare gas
coupon to one who is in dire need, but
that generous neighbor will fight like
blazes to get the coupons in the first
place, just to be prepared against a
rainy day. Not in all cases, to be sure,
but in plenty of them.
The present OPA leadership seems
to be taking realistic view of ra-
tioning and of those who are ration
ed, which is well. 1t will save lot
of headaches and lot of tempers.
On an over all basis the American
people will give up what is necessary.
They will do what is necessary, IF
they are convinced of the need and if
they believe there is fair deal all
around.
The prerequisite to successful ra-
tioning, or to success in any other
war effort is frankness by govern
ment, sound administration and a
sound administration and measure
of plain old emotionalizing in govern
ment's appeal for help. The American
people do love to emote.-CMW.

FAKE LETTERS AGAINST LABOR

Senator Millard F. Tydings, of
Maryland, was caught out on limb
when he quoted letter supposed to
be from Marine on Guadalcanal
complaining that AZ of our men had
been trapped and killed near Coma
because American workmen had been
laying down on the job and there were
not enough planes on Guadalcanal to
drive off the Japs.
Tydings got his speech off his chest
and amused his colleagues, some of
whom knew that Coma is not on
Guadalcanal, and some even knew the
letter was a hoax written by a man
in Hampstead, L. l., who never saw
either Coma or Guadalcanal
1t was like that famous Akron
story of longshoremen refusing to un-
load ships in the war zone on Sunday;
made splendid propaganda against
labor, and like all lies was hard to
catch.
Anti-labor Congressman and en-
ployers have used so much of such
unreliable material in their attempt
to smash labor that it has backfired
on them. Their campaign of hate has
made people think, and when the
people of this country commence
thinking it's just too bad for the
charlatans; the faker shows himself
up when he overreaches himself.
Labor in this country, and mostly
it is organized labor. has done a good
job of producing war materials; in
fact, it has done better job than is
being done in any other country. 1t
is not the fault of labor that we have
transportation bottlenecks, material
bottlenecks, and are now contemplat-
ing with no small concern the
threatened food shortage. Labor has
done its job, is doing it every day,
and needs no apology and deserves
considerably less criticism.

Full Labor Cooperation
With Opa Is Urged

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Full
cooperation with the Office of Price
Administration is one of union labor's
most important war time duties, says
the American Federation of Labor in
its current labor survey. "Work with
the OPA," the federation declares, "is
an important responsibility for all To-
cal unions in the months ahead The
price control and rationing program
is becoming daily more important and
will be greatly expanded. OPA will be
calling for volunteers from the labor
movement and for advice from unions
on its programs"

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

ceived no medical treatment. Some of
the captives were bold enough to tell
the Japs that the Chinese people were
Allies of the British and Americans.
For this they were kicked and beaten
and told they must look upon the
japanese as "their big brothers"
When asked how they felt now that
they were in American hands, grins
frightened their wan faces. One of
theim said: eve are happy now. We
won't have to worry anymore about
being beheaded. We are with friends"
The Nazi practice of shipping large
numbers Of Norwegians to Germany
is intended to serve as insurance"
for Germans stranded in Norway in
event of an Allied invasion, figures
the Swedish newspaper, Social Demo-
kraten, in an Interpretive dispatch,
which implies the fear of invasion
has made the Nazis very jittery.
The dispatch said Norwegian cir
cles had emphasized that most of the
Norwegians thus far removed to
Germany were highly prominent per-
sonages for whose release the Nazis
might we'll demand the German off
cials left behind sin event the
Wehrmacht is forced to leave Nor
way"
''The knowledge that the Allies
will punish war criminals may have
contributed to the Germans taking
hostages for possible later ex-
change" the dispatch said
Don't talk about the war or any
thing related to it unless you know
definitely what you are talking
about" advises a government official.
If this advice were followed, the sill
ence that would settle on this country
would be immensely soothing.-St

which prevent exploitation of women
in industry, a crusade financed and
conducted by wealthy clubwomen to
enable employers to work girl S
unconscionable hours at low wages.
There may be some question as to
where the money comes from, but the
non-working women believe they are
endeavoring to benefit poor working
girls.
Working women, however, disagree
with the aims of their would-be bene-
factors, and before the Senate Judici-
ary Committee they declared that the
"equal rights" bill will destroy pro-
tective industrial legislation and i'm
pose extreme hardships on working
women and create hardships for
women in other walks of life. i. and
create a hundred injustices for every
one it abolishes."
Organized labor was instrumental
in securing enactment of protective
laws for women workers, and Con-
gress should listen more closely to
women who work than to women
whose entire time is spent in agita-
ting

GREEN AND MURRAY
AGREE TO DISCUSS
AGREEMENT FOR
END OF RAIDINC

Washington, d. C. (ILNS)-Con-
ferences looking to an agreement for
the end of jurisdictional raiding have
been agreed on by President William
Green of the American Federation of
Labor and Philip Murray of the Con-
gress of Industrial Organizations
Agreement to hold discussions was
made by the labor heads at the close
of testimony before the Senate Inves-
tigating (Truman) Committee. Green
and Murray joined in criticizing the
governments production and eco
nomic stabilization programs, centra-
lized manpower authority, rigid price
control, the 48-hour week and what
they declared was the infexibility of
the Little Steel" wage increase for
mula
The labor leaders, speaking for H.
100000 organized workers, assailed
decisions of the National War Labor
Board as conflicting with the govern
ment's wage stabilization program,
charged that prices had run away
from controls and insisted that labor
alone had lived up to the promises
which were to keep the nations econo-
my on an even keel.
Flexibility Is Asked
Green and Murray reiterate d
pledges to fight initiation but said that
wages must keep pace with prices
"We ask that wages be kept
abreast of actual living COSTS" Presi-
dent Green said. eve urge that the
National War Labor Board revise its
wage control formulas to permit
sufficient fexibility so that just de-
cision may be rendered in accordance
with the facts and the evidence in
each case presented to it."
Green and Murray clashed when the
AFL president accused the CIO of
endangering war production by mem
bership raids on plants under AFL
jurisdiction
Kaiser Raid Cited
''The best known jurisdictional
raid, he said, ''is the current at
tempt of a CIO union to take over the
Kaiser shipyards in the northwest
which are now under contract with
AFL building a n d metal trades
unions. But this is not lone example.
To my knowledge at least two dozen
similar raids are now in progress in
vital war industries, all of them insti-
tuted by CIO unions against estab-
lished AF'L unions.
"The shocking part OF this story is
that government agency, the NLRB,
has aided and assisted the CIO unions
in conducting these raids. In fact. the
dual, rival unions would be unable to
get anywhere without the official sup
port of the NLRB."
Green's charges led to a lively ex-
change of words with Murray, at the
close of which they agreed to nego-
tiate on the ending of jurisdictional
raids.

Police War on Broken Glass

Chicago.-Boise, Idaho, police have
been equipped with brooms to sweep
streets clear of broken glass, thus
helping conserve tires, the American
Municipal Association says. Four
prowl cars, the dogcatcher's portable
dog jail and the three-wheeled traf-
fic motorcycle carry the brooms. Also,
the city council levied maximum fine
of 500 for persons convicted of
breaking a glass object then leaving
particles on the street. A $25 reward
is in store for the officer instrumental
in convicting the first person guilty
under the new ordinance.

THE
CHERRY TREE
Where with our Little Hstchet we tell
the truth about many things, sometimes
profoundly, sometimes aippantly, some
times recklessly.

When OPA abolished police en-
forcement of the no-pleasure driving
rule the American people were put on
their honor not to use gasoline for
pleasure uses.
ereupon came an interesting
spectacle.
1t developed that there was mighty
little honor where automobile driving
was concerned.
Movie parking lots that hadn't
housed car since the ban suddenly
gave space to goodly part of their
former number of visiting autos.
Curbs near movie houses also be-
came crowded with cars.
If the police weren't going to en-
force the ban any longer, why who
cared a hang? That seemed to be the
attitude
1t was all very interesting.
One may wonder about the "why"
of all this. Drivers still were not sup
posed to use cars for pleasure. But
they did, just the minute the cops
were called off.
Perhaps there were couple of rea-
sons.
One was that the ban on pleasure
driving was all wet in the first place.
People just naturally feel that if
they've bought and paid for a COM
modify they ought to be able to use
it in whatever manner suits them.
That's fairly well ingrained. Cut
ting the allowable amount is a
sounder way.
But maybe there's another reason
back of the conduct of folks in regard
to gasoline.
Throughout the whole American
background is the tradition of each
looking out for himself. It's transla-
ton of the thing called individual
initiative.
1t has nothing to do with generos-
ity toward those less fortunate.
Men sought to make more money
than their nighbors made for just
about the same reason that good
many of them tried to store up one
more can of beans before rationing.
The fellow who has an extra can of
beans probably would share it gladly
with hungry neighbor.
The urge to get that can of beans
has nothing in the world to do with
what the owner will do with those
beans later on.
Our history is filled with cases of
men who cut all kinds Of corners to
get money or to get power.
Whoever would expect they would
not follow the tradition and also cut
corners in getting food, prior to and
after rationing?
You can't destroy an ancient urge
and national tradition by making
rule or enacting law.
This isn't intended to be a plea for
no rationing. That isn't the point
The point is that it will be wise to
look facts in the face and not to be
