Illness Found Causing
Half of Absenteeism

New York City (ILNS).-A slight
drop in the number of days lost
through absenteeism, was recorded in
May, compared with April, the man
agement research division of the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board re-
ports. In May, 41,500,000 man days
were lost to industry, against 42,020-
900 in April, according to the survey
The report cited an average absen-
teeism loss of 08 day man in May,
compared with the same figure in
April and 0.9 day in March. Figures
for women were slightly higher in
May than in April.
Illness, the report continued, caused

sences, while 49.8 percent were for
personal reasons. Non-industrial acci-
dents accounted for only about one
percent.

LABOR PRODUCING
FOR ATTACK, SAYS
ELMER DAVIS
BY ELMER DAVIS
Dy ILHIIN DIX 10
,ctOr. Office of War Information

Director, Office of War Information
Americas fighting and working
men and women have done magnifi-
cent jobs and the enemy is on the run.
But unless the unexpected occurs, the
bloodiest, deadliest part of the job is
still ahead. That is the knockout
punch-or more likely, series of
knockout punches.
The productiveness of our people
and our machines made possible the
triumphs of Tunisia, Sicily and the air
and sea victories over Europe and the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Now, the knockout punches ahead
are calling for more production, hard
er work, more dangerous fighting.
Fittingly, labor did not rest on this
past Labor Day. 1t is devoting it's en-
ergies, know-how, and initiative, to
the production of war materials in
such volume that our fighting men will
be invincible in the offensives ahead.
The workers of this country are
producing for attack.

CONFESSION OF ERROR?

The War Departments announce
ment that former metal miners are
being released from military duty to
return to their old jobs looks much
like a confession of error In other
words, the military authorities, in
their rush to build up a huge Army,
guessed wrong. They took thousands
of skilled miners into the Army and
now have to return many to civilian
life to maintain vital production.
The question arises, why were the
miners inducted in the first place :?
The months they have been in the
Army have meant loss to produc-
ton. 1t would seem that little more
foresight, based on study of the pro-
duction picture, would have dictated
their deferment.
Now the War Department has re-
leased 627 former copper, zinc and
molybdenum miners, the first of 4,500
to be released. In addition, thousands
of other soldiers have been detailed
to farm work.

HOLDING LABOR's GAINS

Organized labor's fight to hold
hard-won gains is strongly backed by
the influential Federal Council of
Churches, which has spoken up vigor-
ously for full restoration of labor
standards when the present emerg-
ency is over With labor, the council
accepts modification of various stand
ards to serve the war effort and
speed victory, but it believes such
notifications should last only as long
as is absolutely necessary.
The councils stand was made plain
in it's Labor Sunday message, which
made the fortnight statement that
labor's gains of the past decade
Should be welcomed by all Christian
people" Then the council said:
"The curtailment, under the neces-
sity of the national war effort, of i'm
portant social standards and freedoms
should be tolerated only as tempo
rary expedient.
"Over long hours, night work, en-
ployment of mothers with young chill
dren, child labor, poor housing, made
quate health and accident safeguards.
lack of rest periods and vacations, the
freezing of employment-these condi-
tions should be corrected as soon as
the war emergency is over"

Suspended Sentences
Given II Miners In
Wildcat Strike

Pittsburgh ILNS) -Twenty-seven
members of the United Mine Workers
of America were given six months
suspended sentences and placed on
probation for three years by Federal
Judge F. P. Schoonmaker in the first
case under the Smith -Connally anti
strike act. The men pleaded no de-
fense.
Three of the 80 originally indicted
in connection with what United Mine
Workers officials said was a wildcat
strike in southwestern Pennsylvania
between June 23 and July 13 were un-
able to appear in court because of in
juries.
The miners were charged with in
stigating strikes in government-oper-
ated mines, in violation of the Smith
Connally law.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS
EoUR YEARS after the beginning

EOUR YEARS after the beginning
/ of the war, Poland is still suffer-
ing national martyrdom unmatched
in modern times. Poles-Gentiles and
Jews alike-have been the victims of
Nazi massacre and bitterest persecu-
ton. The food situation alone tells the
story. 1t is little short of disastrous
for the Poles, victims of the Nazi the
ory of the master race" which is al
so applied to the distribution OF ra-
toned foodstuffs.
The meager rations allowed Poles
by the invaders are not sufficient for
the barest subsistence, says the Pol
ish Labor Group, with headquarters
in New York. In the actual distribu-
ton of these rations, the Germans adj
here to their thesis that the master
race" must eat first, says the labor
group. which tells how the food is al
lotted.
Poles may receive food only in pro-
portion to the productivity and utility
of Polish labor as it affects the Ger
man masters.
In accordance with these principles,
the first to receive the rationed foods
available in the stores are members
of the Wehrmacht German military
forces); members of the Nazi Party
sections and the German police have
second preference; next come civilian
officials of the German occupation and
administrative apparatus and Ger
mans from the Reich. Following these
in order of preference are the Volks.
deutsche.
Only after the members OF the
master race" are fed, comes the turr
of the Untermenschen (subhumans)
as the Poles are designated by the
Nazis.

MERCHANT MARINE
CALLS FOR ALL
LICENSED SEAMEN

The Cleveland Office of the War
Shipping Administration, 1241 West
Third Street, Cleveland, Ohio, is in
terested in contracting all Marine En-
gineers who are not employed at sea.
The recent invasion Of the African
Coasts by the American troops provid-
ed dramatically an example of the i'm
portance of merchant shipping to sue
cessful military action. Considering
the number of new ships that are
being completed in our shipyards
daily, $4,000 seamen must be added to
the labor supply during 1943. The Re-
cruitment and Manning Organization
of the War Shipping Administration
in Cleveland announces that an inten-
sive campaign is under way to secure
licensed seamen to fill important jobs
aboard cargo carriers.
President Roosevelt's signature to
Public Law No. 81 guarantees the re-
employment rights of men leaving
private industry to enter the Merch-
ant Marine. Men leaving civilian en-
ployment for service in the Merchant
Marine can return to the jobs they
left without loss of seniority. They
cannot be discharged from their
former positions without reasonable
cause, in less than a year after they
return to them. Such men may partici-
pate in insurance and other benefits
offered by their original employer at
the time of their joining the Merchant
Marine. Finally, on resuming civilian
occupations the men will be entitled
| to a certificate of service in the Merch-
ant Marine which will include a record
of any special proficiency or merit OBJ
tanned. Many men now employed
perience and who have wanted to re-
turn to sea can now do so as they are
secure in the knowledge that steps
have been taken to give them and
their families economic security so
necessary to their morale. 1t is hoped
that many men with sea experience
now in private industry will be
brought back to sea as a result of this
unemployment legislation.
If you hold marine license for
Great Lakes or ocean shipping, and
are not employed as a Marine Engi-
neer aboard ship, apply today at the
nearest United States Employment
Service Office or the Recruitment and
Manning Organization, 1241 West
Third Street, Cleveland, Ohio, for
complete information on how you can
help Uncle Sam deliver the goods by
serving with the United States
Merchant Marine.

Employment of prisoners of war on
American railroads, either as mainte-
nance workers or in any other capac-
ity, was sharply condemned by the
Railway Labor Executives Associa-
tion in Washington, D. c., speaking in
behalf Of all standard railroad labor
organizations.
A resolution adopted at recent
meeting of the heads of the various
organizations, took cognizance of
published suggestions for the use of
war prisoners on railroads and called
upon the President and all govern
ment agencies to disavow any such
plans. The statement pointed out that
the employment of prisoners of war
on work directly connected with war
operations was explicitly prohibited
by the Geneva Convention and added:
"The use of prisoners of war on the
railroads constitutes threat to our
war effort by inviting sabotage of the
most dangerous character"

THE
! CHERRY TREE
Where with eur Little Hatchet ws tell
the truth about many things, sometimes
} profoundly, Sometimes fippantly. seHe-
times recklessly.

When Sumner Welles was playing
around with the machinery in Cuba
back in the days that saw the topping
Of the dictator Machado, Welles was
regarded by the liberals as anything
but liberal. He was regarded as bull
wark of power politics in the Island
Republic.
But as time went on and American
diplomacy in Latin America took on a
larger Importance, Welles became
known as a liberal and at least an at
tendant at the birth of the Good
Neighbor Policy.
Cordell Hull is generally regarded
as the father of the reciprocal trade
treaties, but his parenthood does not
extend to the broad liberal policies
that have changed the whole relation
ship of the United States to Latin
America.
Nor does he appear to have contri-
buted much, if anything, to liberal
diplomacy in any direction.
But he does have a reputation for
jealousy guarding his diplomatic pre-
cincts. Anyway, Mr.. Hull still sits
there, while goodly number of lib
erals have been forced to walk the
plank.
Mr.. Hull complains that newspapers
have given a false impression of
things, even that they have distorted
the facts.
1t would be nice of Mr.. Hull to state
just what are the facts. 1t would be
nicer of him to show trace of touch
with the modern trend of thought now
and then.
In the months to come the United
States would like that role to be cast
in the mould of liberalism.
There is little enough in Mr.. Hull's
record to date to give US much assur
ance of the kind of foreign policy that
is need and wanted by Americans.
1t is true, of course, that largely
Mr.. Roosevelt is his own foreign min
lister, but too often that constitutes
no restraint on Mr.. Hull's conserva-
tism. He is by way of being an ana
chronism in this administration and
this hour.
There is still a good deal of debate
about our policy during the Spanish
civil war.
Well, quite regardless of the debate,
the fact is that our State Department
gave aid and comfort to Franco and
the further fact is that Franco is quite
frankly a dictator and a fascist. So
the record shows that our State De-
partment has been quite willing and
able to stomach dictatorship.
Of course THAT was before we
went to war to abolish dictatorship.
We don't support dictatorship any
more! Or do we? Do we still befriend
Franco? Or do we merely use him as
a tool to further the larger ends?
However that may be, we have seen
Mr.. Sumner Welles wished out of the
State Department, while Mr.. Hull re-
mains serene and supreme.
Not only that, but host Of under
lings whose whole record smells of
the odor Of reaction remains there to
suggest and to advise.
