The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-04-21

Organized Labor and the National AS
ISOLATION Of Manufacturers are opposed TO
the Austin Wadsworth bin TO establish
an Industrial draft. Their opposition Is
not superficial. It goes 10 the very heart
81 the proposal, and Is based upon bitter
opposition to any labor CONSUMPTION leg
lslatlon. Secretary StlmSon, Assistant
Secretary Patterson Of the War Depart
ment and Maritime Commission Chair
man Land are strongly for the measure.
So are As state Selective Service heads
who testified before congressional COM
mlttee. Manpower Commissioner Nc
Mutt was for It until President Roosevelt
asked that, before adopting such law,
we try the voluntary" approach.
The fact Is that we have long since
discarded the voluntary" approach,
Whether or not free-wlll could have been
made to work, 1t was not. We have been
operating for some time under compul-
sion based upon law. Unfortunately
and this Is the real case for the Austin
Wadsworth bill, with or without modifi-
cation in detail-we have been trying to
enforce labor draft Illegally by pervert-
ing law that was not meant for the
purpose. This has been clear time after
time. It Is emphasized by the VINO or
der that men in the S8-45-year-old group
must transfer from non-deferrable jobs
BY fixed date or face drafting for COM
bat service This, In turn, Is clarified by
the terms on which the Army will release
men over SO who already have been draft
ed. Such men must accompany their re-
quest for release bya statement from some
responsible outsider that they will be en-
plCyed In essential industry or agricul-
lure. Their request is passed upon not
by their own draft board, but by that IN
the area where, If released, they propose
20 work. II the request Is granted they
are not discharged, but are put into the
enlisted reserve, so that If they should
dare leave the essential job they could
be recalled Immediately, without red
tape, to fighting service.
Thus far all fathers are specifically de-
ferred-and all but those who decline to
leave non-deferrable work and 60 into q
deferrable classification. They, regard
less of age Cup to 45) and regardless Of
dependency, are to be put into Ia and, II
they can get into and out of examina-
ton rooms without limplng, can be called
into fighting service. Definitely we are
not using the voluntary" approach. The
administration is clubbing men into 60
ing to work where 1t waits them to work.
Why, then, not be frank and honest about
It, and have law applying impartially
TO all?

Showdown on Sausages

We have come to showdown on Sau-
sages. It's all right to relinquiSh points
for solid meat cuts but when it comes to
giving up points for SauSageS, frank
furterS and so on, the q. p, better known
as the general public, unite in chorus
o. - let it spoil. The New York papers
as Of Tuesday stated that the sausage
food was spelling in New York stores.
The same story comes from our local
stores.
The food situation is not a very savory
one at the present time. Everyone seems
to be trying to cooperate but the Setup
does not seem to work out to the best
advantages Of all. It is hard to decide
where the fault lies. Endless time has
been spent on the arranging of a food
program. Tremendous work and effort
have gone into the outlining Of ration
ing system but results are not too good.
Il Is, you might say, too tremendous a
problem TO work out smoothly to the
best advantage of all. Disturbing state
ments appear such as - there Is a ire
mend0us waste of food supplied for the
Army. And does that start a buzzing
among the @. p?
The sausage business has been spoil
ing now for some time. Thoughts of
waste are not pleasant, but you can
hardly blame the consumer who does not
care to give up points for the so-called
*filler" meats. Bologna, liverwurst,
xrankfurters and the like, are not as
popular as they once were with the house
wife, who Is looking for something more
Substantial when she hands out her
coupons.

tunity for civic enterprise. However, q
lot more than merely their efforts Is
needed II Waterbury Is to be given the
spring housekeeping It needs, True,
these are times In which there Is little
chance for the average householder to

many Of US consider It proper and right
to dump our tin cans (what we don't
offer for the tin can collection), old
papers, ashes, and other forms Of rubbish
In any convenient empty lot or woodland.
At meeting this week city officials re-
ported that some Of the citys smaller
water courses were being used as reposi-
tories for refuse OF all sorts. Not only
Is this extremely dangerous In that II
might cause floods, but 1t is also men,
ace to everyone'S health,
All this trouble can't be blamed on the
Immigrant war workers, Their number
is small compared to the number Of per-
manent residents. For years city officials
have been combating the illegal dump
ing menace. From time to time the
police with tie aid Of the health officials
have launched drives and prosecuted
offenders, Only continuation OF such
efforts will, we believe, contribute mater
tally towards the success of The l94S cam
paign to clean up Waterbury, However,
we believe in appealing the sense of fair
play and decency Of every Waterburlan,
so we hope that all will do their utmost
to keep the city in clean and healthful
condition.

It has been announced that the sum-
mer commuter, from city home to place
at the shore or country, will not get
extra gas for the daily or weekend run.
This Is another among the wartime pri-
vationS and is a hardship for those who
have been accustomed to having little
place at the shore or nearby lakes to
which they commute daily and some
times for weekend If persons have
sufficient gas they may use 1t until 1t is
all consumed but no extra allotment will
be allowed for this purpose, since sum-
mer home is in the luxury classification.
This being the case summer cottages will
be idle to some extent; though we still
have plenty of people who go to their
summer places and remain there until
the end of the season.

The Jewish Passover Festival began
Monday of this week at shutdown. AS Is
known this is a period of rejoicing over
deliverance from bondage in Egypt. For
the first time in the observance of this
festival of many hundred years, prayers
for the dead were added in the Passover
ritual. The request for these prayers
came from DR.. Joseph H. Hertz, chief
Rabbi of the British Empire, his Passover
message requesting that every Jewish
home include in the service prayers for
survivors of pogroms. It was stated in
New York newspapers that all English
Jews in New York City complied with the
request.

ENCOUNTER WITH ETERNITY FROM
PULLMAN WINDOW

(Anderson n. scuggs In The New York Timed
The last faint glow OF days submerging light
Clings 10 the rim Of darkness. Nameiess trees
Swirl out Of space In swift and nOiseless flight.
And the mind too swirs with the old, old mysteries.
The thoughts 60 winging toward the distant west,
Beyond the last rose remnant Of the sun,
And the heart for q golden moment Is possessed
with peace too deep for time to tread upon
The vision dies The fun. earth-fettered brain
That touched the dream no thought has wholly
taken,
Come iolting back 70 the intimate world again.
With football down aisle and curtain shaken.
