WORST DOUBLECROSS IN
| CANADIAN LABOR HISTORY,
FORD UNION CHIEF SAYS

Windsor, Ont. (FP). - The 14,OOt
workers at Ford Motor Co.'S Windsor
plants walked out again as soon as
they realized that they had been BAN
boozled by the Canadian government
in the settlement of the original stop
page and were still out when the dis
pute was transferred to Ottawa fol
hearing May 8.
Its the worst doublecrOss il
Canadian labor history" said Presi
dent Roy G. England of Ford Local
200, United Auto Workers (CIO). The
union went back to work on assur-
ance by the deputy minister that Their
demands for the old grievance proce-
dure had been granted. When the
written terms arrived from Ottawa, il
was found that the war labor board
had approved Ford's arbitrary griev-
ance procedure instead. 1t was this
that had caused the original stoppage

81 AM AN AMERICAN DAY"

81 AM AN American Day" will be observed ma
tonally on Sunday, May 21 This year, some
2,47OOO0 men and women who have reached Vot-
ing age during the past twelve months, plus
record number of new naturaized ctizens-there
were 400, 900 of them in 1943-will be honored on
that day.
This day is set aside each year as public
occasion for the recognition of all who, by coming
of age or through naturalization, have attained
the status of citizenship during the past year Al
the same time it is made an occasion for impress
ing upon ALL our citizens, both native born and
naturazed the special significance of citizenship
in this nation.
Never before in the history of our nation has
it been so imperative that every American be
alive to the responsibilities of citizenship. Every
one of us therefore should plan to participate in
some way in this years observance. We will all
benefit from it,.

MONTGOMERY WARD CASE

THE DAILY newspapers, following their usua
CUSTOM have given the American public only
half Of the facts about the Montgomery Ward
case The radio has not done much better. Both
have tried to create the impression that President
Roosevelt ordered the seizure OF this firm SIMPLY
because of disagreement between the manage
ment and a labor union. The rest OF the story is
that industrial peace IN thousands OF stores
throughout the nation is at stake in the Mont
9omery Ward case.
Under the federal law, the National War Labor
Board has broad powers. In times OF peace,
neither labor nor management would submit with
out fight In this time of war, however, both
must submit The welfare of our country requires
it,
The Montgomery Ward company, captaned by
that august hater of all forms Of labor organiza-
tions, Sewell Avery provoked a strike. 1t then
refused to agree to the extremely reasonable or
der of the War Labor Board that it continue to
observe its contract with the union, even though
it had expired, until new terms Of settlement
could be reached.
1t is the contention of the Montgomery Ward
company that the National War Labor Board has
no jurisdiction over its operations, that it is not
a business directly touching the effort and
therefore has right to fight the unions if it sees
fit. The government, on the other hand is ready
to prove that this firm has extensive dealings with
the government and that the war effort viii be
hampered if it become involved in a bitter dispute
which could only result in work stoppage.
If Montgomery Wards contention is correct
and if it is finally sustained in the federal courts
the effect of its victory will be far reaching. ltS
employees may strike without complying with the|
vicious mth-Connay Act All over the nation,
other Montgomery Ward stores may be struck,
and the firms business tied up. That is only part
of it, Other great stores might also be tied up
For if the National War Labor Board has no jul's-
diction over Montgomery Ward, then it has mol
jurisdiction over any retail stores.
This is fundamental; if the employees Of any
retail store must obey the decrees of the War;
Labor Board, then the companies themselves muStI
also obey. If the companies are exempt; labor isl
exempt
Ii is doubtful if the management of most of
the nations big stores want TO be exempt froml
NWLB rulings and regulations. With the except
ton Of labors bitter enemy, Sewel Avery, theyl
are too patriotic, too earnest in their support of
the war effort to desire to precipitate great Ia
Dor struggle in wartime, merely to satisfy sell
fish motive.
Yes, private rights have been invaded in thsI
war. That is q tragedy Of war. Private rights are
secondary TO the public good, and the war effort
"a our only big enterprise today. The War Labor
BSsrd and the President have acted in the Mont
goniefy Ward case to preserve and promote indus
trial peace. They have performed a good service
not only for Montgomery Ward but for all Ameri-l
can business, and for labor and the public as well

PLASTICS OUTLOOK BRIGHT

Los Angeles.-It is estimated that in
the last 2 years the plastics industry
has expanded 100 per cent, with the

ports Ralph Hemphill, founder of the
Plastics Institute of Los Angeles and

BY the time these lines are read the
Great Invasion may be on. 1t may not,
but also there's the chance, for nobody
knows when ID day will come.
So, it is risking timing to talk about
the wave of strikes now on. No very
great big strike, but too many medium
sized strikes Too many strikes
Why is this? Why so many at the
same time?
Has anybody, or any authority,
made any real effort to find out WHY
such bunch of strikes can happen at
one time?
Is it just by chance? But, reason
or no reason for the punching, there is
NO reason for any stOppage of work
on anything even remotely related to
the war.
There is NO reason important
enough for either employer or worker
to cease for a moment, in this critical
hour, the business of pouring out the
supplies
What manner of cobwebs get into
the minds of men at such a time to
cause them to forsake reason--to put
a personal aim ahead of the welfare
of civilization?
What manner of cObwebs?
Sewell Avery is pictured being
carried out of his big mail order house
by soldiers, with as SNUG a look on his
face as will be seen in many day.
Snug at a time like this
But Sewell Avery is no more SNUG
than labor leaders who try to explain
why men have to strike in war plants
while we stand on the brink of inva-
sion-an invasion which will tell the
story of the rise or fall of civilized
life, with freedom and Justice.
AS well might the villagers who
dwelt on the slopes of POmpeii have
stopped to quarrel among themselves
while the hot lava poured down upon
them!
1t is odd how much some men and
women use false scales for the weigh
ing of today's events.
1t is odd how some men and women
think that in today's boiling cauldron
they can be the complete masters of
their own conduct and their own deS-
tiny.
No person can today be wholly the
master of his own destiny, unless he
turn his back upon the cause of human
freedom. The tremendous forces OF
world i'm all-encompassing struggle
bear down upon all of us and take
from each of us great part of our
right to make our own decisions for
our own comfort or convenience.
We have no right to SO conduct our
selves as to weaken in any manner the
forces of our nation in its war against
he powers of darkness.
We have no individual rights that
ire not in some sense modified by the
demand for collective might and vic
ory.
There is one slight possibility of
'eason in this medley of muddles
1t is that the driving speed of pro-
luction has given rise to some form of
collective mental jitters.
If that IS the reason, then it should
Ne brought forward and examined.
But it seems unlikely that such a !,
'eason could prevail over so large a
ield.
Furthermore, if that could be the
eason, then the cure is not in strikes.
We have had high pledges of no
trikes, but such pledges are no better

nen who man the machines What has
,one wrong with those consciences and
hose hearts?
