Just a parting thought: These
men aren't so smart. They should
speak to Mr.. Eric Johnston, whom
one or two of them have quoted so
freely, as the head of their national
United States Chamber of Com
merce. He would tell them that
the wise thing to do would be to
deal fairly with Organized Labor,
for it is here to stay, and it will
be here stronger than ever after
the war is over.

UNPATRIOTIC

These induStrialists are not so
ingenious as they are unpatriotic.
1t does not take brains for some
one to stab man in the back
when he has set aside his own
weapon of defense. Fortunately,
these stabs are not fatal. We will
keep producing for our country and
for our brothers in the service. We
realize that we are being imposed
upon but we realize also that al
though these un-American en-
ployers have selfish motives, ours
are not selfish nor fascistic.
This war will not last forever,
Like the rain storm, It's bound to
stop some time. And when it does
cease, there are certain people who
will have shown their employees
their true colors. Shakespeare
once said, Sweet are the uses of
adversely" We should be thank
full for the opportunity of viewing
these miserable employers in their
true light.
1t has been said that the shortest
thing in the world is the working
mans memory. Be that as it may,
there are thousands of men and
women who are today being en-
lightened, and it is very unlikely
that they will forget the occasion
when an unfair advantage was
taken of them.

While Lincoln had his detractors and enemies,
his worst grief came not entirely because of his
sensitive nature which made him pity those who
were sacrificed in the blood struggles of the Civil

TAKE 1T TO THE wLB"


This expression of SNUG COM
placency seems quite a common
utterance of late. Grievances
which could easily have been set
tied amicably prior to Pear Har-
Dor, have become major controver-
sizes in many plants. Collective
bargaining is not what it used to
be.
DR.. George W. Taylor, vice.
chairman Of the National War
Labor Board, fears that unneces-
sary requests for WLB determine
ton of detailed terms of union
agreements will lead to the break
down of collective bargaining. His
fears are not entirely unfounded.
WLB RUNNING INDUSTRY
When managements decide to
take an arbitrary position in deal
ing with their employees they do
just that. Certain Of them have
adopted the attitude that nothing
should be given in a union agree
ment which the WLB would not
compel them to give the employees.
While the industrial workers of
America, and of Toledo in particu-
lar, have occupied themselves with
the primary task of producing
guns, planes, tanks and ammuni-
ton sorely needed by our fighting
men, it is indeed a sorry sight to
see individuals taking advantage
of those men and women who are
doing their best for the boys in
service.

Brilliance Shown

Be Shock to Some
By John Ferris.

NEW YOtLh.
: The Theater Guild, which in re-
cent years has sometimes manifested
signs Of becoming moribund, came
astonishlngly alive Wednesday night
at the st. James Theater with it's
production of "Oklahoma," a vividlv
beautiful musical play, so CAV and
bolsterous that it is likely to startle
some of the older guild subscribers
Based on the play Green Grow
Che Lilacs," which the guild pro-
duced a decade or so ago, it has
been conceived and presented in
spirit hardly matched on Broadway
thls season. 1t Is loaded with some
OF the best tunes Richard Rodgers
has ever written-from the opening
number, "Oh, What a Beautiful
Mornin' and The Surry With
the Fringe on Top down to the
last rousing song, "Oklahoma, ,"
which brought everything but out
right cheers from the first-night
audience.
The book and lyrics are the work
OF Oscar Hammerstein, I'd; the pro-
ductlon was directed by Reuben
Mamoulian. and the guild appar-
emily has spared no expense.
The story is the fairly simple one
OF the villainous hired hand, a pc
cullarly distasteful character, who
has come to look with dubious pas
sion on the young lady of the
farm. The hero, of course, is the
cowboy, Curly.
Ultimately. as in all musicals. the
hero wins his maid. There is an
antl-cllmactic scene in "Oklahoma"
in which the villain returns on the
night of his rivals wedding and tries
to knife him, only to get the works
himself.
That Fresh Touch.
That's the story as BADLY as it
can be told. The authors, taking
advantage of the guilds lavish hand.
have introduced a dream scene
which provides the excuse for a
splendid little ballet. That sort of
thing is sometimes dangerous in a
musical, but in oklahoma" it fits
in smoothly and develops. the plot
neatly.
There is an amusing scene in
which Curly sings persuasive
tune, Pore Jud," to the hired hand.
suggesting what lovely funeral Jud
would have if he just hanged him
self. Jud, entranced by the vision
conJured up. adds his mournful re-
sponses to the song in cracking
fashion.
Alfred Drake, as Curly. and Joan
Roberts, as Laurey, the girl, are
gifted with excellent voices and
acqult themselves splendidly. AS the
peddler in danger of getting himself
involved in a shotgun wedding,
Joseph Buloff is his customary riot
ously funny self.

Mamoulian Directs
Work Which Lifts
Sponsors Repute

Agnes De Mile is responsible for
the dances which exhibit all the
freedom of the ordinary Broadway
routines with the intricacies de-
manded of ballet performers.
The guild has done itself proud
Victor Wolfson's new play, "The
Family" based on Nina Fedorova's
prize winning novel, arrived at the
Windsor Theater Tuesday night un-
der the aegis of Oscar Serlin, pro-
ducer of the delightful Life with
Father"
"The Family" too. concerns do
mestic life, and as a novel appar-
emily had much to recommend it;
but the dramatic version of the
story, despite excellent perform
ances by such veterans as Lucille
Watson, Evelyn Warden, Carol Good
ner and Arnold Korff, is far from
successful.
Meat for Playwrights.
The temptation to translate "The
| Family" to the theater obviously
must have been great. for it is peo-
| pied by the diverting kind of char
acters who make a dramatist's heart
happy. There Is the grand old ma
| triarcil, whose courage and sweet
ness are so largely responsible for
holding together the seedy existence
of group of White Russians in
Tientsin Just before the Japanese
| attack of 1887.
There are the daughter, the
granddaughter and two grandsons;
the slightly mad professor who
writes letters to Mussolini, Roosevelt
and other leaders, urging peace;
his troubled wife, and to top it, a
fortune teller and a shrewish Eng
lishwoman who has tried to drown
her sorrows in the bottle
Besides these there are living in
the house a Chinese secret agent
and a half dozen treacherous Japs.
AL are vivid enough, though the
Japanese just miss being comic
characters. The tragedies of their
lives, their hopes and fears, must
have made intensely absorbing read
ing in the book But dramatically
the story falls apart at the moment
when it should have proved a brave
consummation; the moment of a
japanese air raid, which destroys the
tenuous protection of life in the
British concession.
The E,nglishwoman fees, taking
the young Russian boy who month
before had been a painful reminder
of the loss of her own child. The
elder grandson. disguised as beg
gar, prepares to escape to Russia:
the others remain, composed and
gallant, and a little too hopeful and
a little too strained.
Boris Aronson has built an ex-
cellent setting and Bretaigne Wind
ust gave the play fluent direction,
but it all adds up to very little in
the end and isn't likely to last long.
