Time To Get. On Job

The strike fever which is spreading so alarm
ingy in the British Isles serves to direct at
tention to the wartime strike record in this
country. The figures are not consoling.
Here is the record: The number of workers
involved in strikes rose from 1,170,0o0 in 1889
to 2.362o0o in 1871, dropped to 1893, 900 in 1912
and rose to 100000 in 1943. Man-days of
production lost in 1912 totaled 4,1S2 600 and
in 1913 there were 10, 500 900.
Clearly it is time for the United States to
provide some form of discipline to be employ
ed If there is not marked lessening of strikes
this year, the critical period of the war. It is
useless to point out that American production
has been the marvel of the world so long as
it fell short Is, 100000 man-days of work last
year. Think what it would have been if these
losses had not been imposed upon war indus
try!
It is quite possible that the war might have
been brought to its end in Europe this year.
If every worker had been on the job as faith
fully as our armed force have been, instead
of stretching over into 1915, as our military
leaders say it probably will be.
It is a SOLDERING thought, and irrefutable
fact, that speedy victory will be impossible
to achieve until every person on the home
front is as t~~~oughly consecrated to the cause
OF victory men on the fighting front
But it would be unfair to place the whole
blame for less than maximum effort upon la
Dor alone, culpable as labor misled by it's
leaders has been. Only very small percent
age of the strictly civilian population has
been doing its full share for the war effort
If the national situation has been similar to
that in Wilmington, the people at large have
grievously fallen down. No single defense
unit here has been able to muster a
full staff; no branch of the Red Cross has
reached its quota; no campaign connected
with the war effort has had adequate person
mel. Too many citizens everywhere have been
too willing to 'let George do it, particularly
when the doing involved time and effort which
could be more pleasantly employed in social
diversion.
The loss of man-days by labor is terrible
to contemplate. But what of the man-days lost
by the citizenry outside the ranks Of labor?
Surely they not less deplorable.
This is not said in extenuation of strikes
or strikers, but in sorrow that tens of thou
sands of persons who could have been at work
for victory laid down on the job

l. The activity of American planes along the
China coast has driven good part of Japanese
coastal shipping farther out to sea, where
Allied submarines are getting more and more

q The growing activity of the 18th United
States Army Air Force makes it necessary
for the Japanese to keep more aircraft in
China than they would otherwise have to do
at time when every plane is badly needed
in other theaters of war. Yet their position in
the air is now so much weakened that the
Japanese cannot afford to maintain as many
planes in China as necessary
It must be apparent that what this Air
Force is doing however small by-product
of the Allied Pacific strategy, is facilitating the
operations of General Macarthur and Admiral
Nirnitz and will enable it to play vital
role in the defeat of Japan
