Absentee Problem

The seriousness of the absentee
problem in war industry has had no
better illustration than that fur
nished by Rear Admiral Emory s.
Land. war shipping administrator,
who told the House Naval Committee
that 100 cargo boats could be turned
out In the time unnecessarily lost by
shipyard workers in a year.
Admiral Lands statement, based
on survey in November, December
and January, was made in the course
Of testimony in which he indorsed
proposed work or fight" legislation,
and it was significant that what he
had to say SO closely paralleled the
earlier testimony Of Secretary Knox,
who characterized the absence rate
In naval establishments as "far too
high" and called for corrective &C.
ton.
The views of these officials are inn
portant. On their shoulders rests
much of the responsibility for fur
nishing the ships and guns needed
by this Nation, and they are close
enough to the scene to get the alb
sentee issue in its proper perspective.
Certainly neither could be accused
of seeking to iniure labor, and the
fact that both are convinced stern
measures are necessary is calculated
to encourage public support.
In sharp contrast to the attitude
of Secretary Knox and Admiral Land
is the seeming tendency in some
quarters to excuse much Of the alb
senteeism. In the National Radio
Forum, a few nights ago, Secretary
Perkins argued that large part is
due to physical disabilities of the
absentees and adverse working con-
ditions. In somewhat similar vein,
Chairman Norton of the House Labor
Committee, stressed transportation
difficulties, long hours and-where
women are commemorative conflict of
household duties, as important con-
tributory causes. These factors un-
queStiOnably figure IN the SITUATION,
but Secretary Knox and Admiral
Land made it clear that it was mex
cusable absences at which their fire
was directed It might be added, too,
for the benefit of those who see the
effort to control absenteeism as an
attack on labor, that it was only a
short time ago that CIO President
Philip Murray drew the attention of
his membership to the spreading
practice of taking time off, and ad-
monished his associates to stay on
the job.
!, At any rate, it is increasingly evil
dent that action is demanded. Sec
retary Perkins believes that much
can be accomplished through the
cooperation of management and
labor, through the assistance Of the
Labor Department, and If that simple
formula will help, 1t should be adopt
ed without further delay. In In
stances where improved working and
4 living conditions promise relief. the
