Workers themselves must take the
responsibility for the personal pro-
tective measures necessary if indus
trial accidents that have impaired
Americas productive efficiency are
to be reduced, according to Albert N.
Void, field representative of the Ma
tional Committee for Conservation of
Manpower in War Industries.
Management has the responsibility
for providing safe machines and equip
ment, for removing fire, sickness and
accident hazards and for instiucting
employees in safe working practices"
he declared.
Beyond these, however, it is up to
the workers to take the personal pro-
tective measures that will keep them
frcm getting hurt on the job"
The NCCMWI makes these sugges-
tions for the personal protection of
workers:
l. Wear snugly fitting clothes-nev-
er loose clothes with long sleeves,
dangling neckties, loose trouser cuffs,
finger rings or other unsafe apparel
while working around machinery.
g. Wear suitable gloves or gauntlets
when handling sharp-edged stock,
scrap or quantities of lumber. Don't
use gloves, however, in machine
operation.
8. Wear goggles when grinding,
chipping, pouring hot metal,
IL
ing, or doing any other work where
flying or spashipg material might en-
ter the eyes.
4. Wear shoes with soles sufficient
ly heavy to give adequate foot pro-
lection. Use safety shoes with rein

lean and British listening posts" who
record German reaction to events in
American and Britain stated that very
little space and time were given these
threatened strikes. Could it be that
nazi labor might envy a country
whose laborers still have a. few rights
| left?
So very little space and no head
lines in the big newspapers have been
given to Strikes" by industry which
throughout 1940-42 refused to convert
plants until profits were guaranteed
by the government To cite a few in
stances of abotage-what about Ana
conda Wire and Gable Co. which de-
|liberately faxed tests on its defective
material thereby endangering the
lives of not only British and Russian
soldiers and sailors but American as
we'll? What about Standard Oil and
its cartel agreement with l. G. Farben
Industrie which so delayed our syn
thetic rubber program? What about
Curtiss Wright Co. who made defec-
tive engine parts for airplanes? And
the present refusal of Timken-Detroit
Axle Co. to make badly needed mill
tary truck axles unless unreasonable
profits are given it by the govern
ment? Don't THESE things prolong
the war and endanger the lives Of
our men?
Let us not condemn labor until we
have studied their side of the question
too. The technique of Big Business
of divide and rule" setting the
farmer against the laborer and visa
versa, small business against us both
and misinforming our soldiers about
vital issues-will always succeed to
the detriment of all of us unless we
come to our senses and get together
on a program that will make the
words economic democracy" mean
something more than just mere
"catch" phrase.

The attack on labor in the majority
of newspapers is unwarranted and un-
fair. Department of Labor statistics
show that idleness due to strikes
amounted to approximately 1/3 of 10
of available working time. If we care
to look into these strikes we find
that in the majority of cases labor
has resorted to strikes only as a last
resort after futile attempts to get any
action through the government had
failed. Statistics show that since the
beginning of 1941 wage rates have
gone up 15%o while the cost of living
increased 231a 20. If the government
had kept its pledge to keep living
costs down no need for drastic action
would have arisen.
Statements about the much publi-
cized coal strike were distorted and
unjust. The coalmine owners went
on strike before the miners walked
out. After the government took over
the mines, Secretary Ickes and John
L. Lewis worked out a compromise
agreement which the original mine
owners, who pretty well controlled
WLB, refused to accept. Mr.. Ickes
said "If there had been good will on
both sides, wage agreement could
have been worked out" In this case
was it fair to place all the blame on
the miners?

GOOD GOVERNM ENT

At the birth of our nation, the
Christians seem to have been evident
in large numbers, including the Catho-
| lies and Jews. They gave us our
Democracy. 1t seems capitalism is
working along nazi lines to discredit
the Catholics and Jews. The reason
is that the Catholics have worked
harder than any other church against
injustice and inhumanity of the cap
italist system toward the masses.
Christians should discourage the
knocking of Catholics and Jews and
against discrediting the negroes.

Editor of Peoples Voice,

Editor of Peoples Voice,
Surely the common people note the
discussion now going on through the
press and radio over the controversy
of a Polish-Russian boundary line and
also how interested a certain class in
England and United States are so
greatly concerned over the outcome,
but to q person who thinks, is it not
clear that Russia is not in a position
of full possession and not free to con-
slider a question of such Importance,
and the rush Of the Polish govern
ment in exile seems out of time and
is, possibly, designed to create ill
feeling and bitterness between peo-
pies of allied nations.
1t appears three classes of Polish
people are to be considered when
the proper time comes for SUCH
1. The class that sought refuge in
England and formed government in
exile"
2. The class that joined with Russia
in a fight to recover lost territory.
8. The class forced into slavery by
the German authorities.
Now in case Russia is successful
in an effort to subdue the powers in
possession, which class of three or all
should bear first consideration?
The first question would be, does
the government in exile represent the
other two classes. If so, why do they
not wait till all classes can join in
a full discussion? Is it not possible
they are class made up of capital
sts, plutocrats and politicians who

,r material loss than in full freedom

Dear Mr. Bruce:
Since the KFBB radio station in
Great Falls, owned and operated by
Buttreys refuse to renew the contract
for time on the air over that station
with the Farmers Union Grain Termi-
nal Association, on the grounds that
the subjects were controversial, when
committees of organized labor and or
ganized farmers hold a round table
discussion about the problems over
the air. 1t seems like Mr.. Buttrey is
afraid public opinion might be some
what modified if these discussions
were allowed to continue. However
he fails to realize the fact that he
is barring his own customers who
patronize his stores in the state of
Montana from this privilege. Maybe
Mr.. Buttrey is doing so well in his
business that he does not need the
patronage of this group of people
which l doubt very much. So if
enough of them failed to give him any
more business until he saw the error
of his ways and changed his mind,
he might renew the contract.
