ON FISHING BOAT

BOSTON, June 15.-A German
submarine invaded the North At
lantic fishing grounds last week
and shelled and machine gunned
a Boston trawler, forcing all but
two of her crew to abandon ship.
The submersible finally left, her
skipper apparently thinking the
trawler would sink. Then the crew
put the vessel in shape and brought
her to port safely, early today, with
her hull superstructure looking al
most like a sieve.

Letter to the Editor

Editor Potters Herald:
Every citizen believing in Il land of
free enterprise and free, willing work
ers, should consider the insult and lack
of trust in the people shown by our
President in asking for a National
Service Law DRAFT Labor Act.
American free labor along with
American free management, has
demonstrated, beyond doubt, that they
have produced more war material than
all other nations.
With the miracle stream of the
product of American labor going all
over the world in the American way,
do we want to change to the very
ways of the men and nations with
whom we are fighting? Have we much
to gain by sacrificing the lives of our
young men on foreign soil when those
very rights for which they are fight
ing are taken away at home?
American people will all have the
fear that they may be taken to differ
ent parts of the country, thereby
breaking up families and homes that
they are trying to maintain for the
soldiers to come back TO.
Must all American people be punish
ed because Il few-WorkerS have gone
on strike. CThe production loss from
strikes has been infinieSimal.) 1t must
be remembered that both management
and government are not wholly limo
cent in the handling of the labor stu
ation, they too. must take portion
of the blame. BY decree our President
has frozen our wageS-lsn't it reason
able to think that if he had kept his
promise, to hold down or roll bach
| the cost of living, there would not have
been the few strikes that have Oc
Cured Isn't it time for the American
worker to ask him to produce by keep
ing his promises.
Workers will notice that he Onl!
wants labor drafted. After he has hat
labor drafted, he will only have t,
take over industry to have exactly tn,
sctup that Germany and Italy have.
