competitive products, produced by low

tentiOn, though l say to you that the
war workers are just as surely soldiers
in this war as the man in the front
lines. Without the war workers the
soldiers could not carry on the fighting.
YET OUR WAR WORKERS are
the most abused class in the United
States today. The shortcomings of a
few have been magnified until many
persons accept them as the faults of
the many, though the record proves
that our war workers as a whole have
reached production unsurpassed in
the history of the world. Surely that
could not have happened if all our
workers were guilty of the sins at
tributed to them by their critics, either
through ignorance or deliberate mis-
representation.
'Absenteeism,' believe, is one
charge against the war workers that
has been exaggerated by these persons
into an evil far beyond the truth. l
agree that there has been more of it
than is absolutely necessary, and that
it has been quite harmful in many
respects, but the production record
does not jibe with the magnitude OF
the 'absenteeism' alleged by the sever
est critics of the war workers.

Now let us consider the problem

Il am insisting on legislation to take

postwar provision for the war workers
is just as important, because we are

soldiers.
"They will be out of jobs and out of
money, because taxes and the cost of
living preclude the possibility of them
saving anything. I hope to see legis-

all other service men pay continuance

Of Foes Of Labor

Washington, d. C.-Foes of labor
who have been spreading propaganda
that workers are on the job only DC
hours a week, were handed another
jolt by the Department of Labor this
week.
The department published a report
disclosing that practically all durable
goods industries, in which war produc-
tiOn is concentrated, are now operating
on shifts of 4S hours or more per man
per week. At least II of the indus
tries are on schedules of 80 hours or
more, the report showed.
Nearly all war workers are already
tOiling longer hours than the 4S a
week which government agencies, in
joint statement put out some time
ago, described as the maximum for
efficiency.

Six War Agencies

A Meccu-N Nelson Is For
Staggered Schedules

Washington. Six different wal
agencies, the views of which were
summarized by the Office of War In
formation, agreed that vacations fol
war workers were considered neces
sary by the government. But one OF
them, the Office of Defense TranSpOr
tatiOn, stressed the fact that the vaca'
tons should be spent as near home as
possible.
Since manpOWer researches were
declared TO show that fatigue breeds
Involuntary absence from work, Paul
V. McNutt, chairman of the War Man
power Commission, said:
vacations with pay should be
granted to all war workers. Workers
should not be allowed to waive vaca'
tions and draw additional pay.
Overtime, high production and
regular attendance to the job should
also be rewarded by time off to which
no stigma of absenteeism should be
attached"
Donald Nj. Nelson, War Production
Board chairman, said:
Wartime vacations must be planned
to avoid interruption of working sched
ules. Management and labor should
plan the release of workers by working
ahead in some departments by arrang
ing for staggered vacation schedules
by training substitutes and, where nee
essary, by working additional over
time"
The Food Administration, Chester
Davis, put it this way:

ers, teachers, high school and college
students, clerks, typists, and in fact

Assembly expresses itself on postwar

adopted by II local unions in Guern-

on manufacturers who deliberately or
knowingly supply the government
with defective war material
The measure would deal in future
with such cases as those of the United

off defective material by falsifying
tests.
1t also provides fine of $4,000 and
80 years imprisonment for workers
who are guilty of making defective
repairs of any property used in the
war effort
