Most of-the citys 425 teachers

Striking FOremen

ON THIS page of this newspaper yesterday ap-
~ peared story that must have dismayed every
decent American who read it.
The story described the largest wave Of strikes
to sweep Detroit war plants since Pearl Harbor;
strikes which put 900 workers on the streets
and impaired vital war production in more than
% factories
At this time with the whole civilized world
tense and prayerfu on the eve Of invasion and with
American soldiers and sailors in pressing need OF
every single weapon that American industry can
rush to them, strikes on the home front would be
inexcusable under any circumstances -
DUT the present Detroit strikes are heinously
ID and especially inexcusable because there Is no
tangible grievance to justify them.
They resulted from the headstrong and II
responsible utimatum issued to industry and the
National VI Labor Beard by the Foreman 8 Asse-
citation of America an outfit of dubious legality at
best.
Here is no place to argue the merits Of fore
mans union even though all down through INDUS
trial history foremen have been considered an
integral part of management.
Here is the place and the moment only TO
remind executives of the Foreman's Association OF
America that unless they forego their rebellion and
get their plants back into immediate production,
they will be calling down upon their heads the
opprobrium of all their patriotic fellow citizens
And it will be an opprobrium from which they
may never recover.
EOREMEN in factory might be compared to
Il sergeants in an army.
Young Mr.. Keys, president of the FAA, and
his associates should ponder what would happen
TO our American army today if its sergeants went
on strike
They should ponder the grim charge from I'm
dersecretary of War Patterson that "Whiie An1erI-
can and British forces must continue day and night
to bomb German aircraft factories to disrupt pro-
duction The Germans don't haze to bother bombing
our factories so long as our foremen strike"
THAT is a grave accusation but it is impeued oy
Il grave situation.
It is a situation that can be remedied If the
foremen forget their false sense of dignity and re-
turn to work and the orderly processes Of arbitra
ton.
Unless they do they will stand convicted in
the public mind of heartless indifference in their
nations hour of peril.

Detroit Times Labor Editor

WASHINGTON, May 17-Gen.
Henry w. Arnold, chief of the
Army Air Forces mustered the
strength of the army behind the

effort 10 end the strike Of the
Foreman's Association of America
which has thrown $1,000 vital
Detroit war workers out of their
jobs.
Gen. Arnold was to attend the
WLB hearing to which defiant
leaders of the association have
been called to show cause why
the board should not invoke sane
tons and penalties against the
$500 strikers.
q. q. MAY TAKE OVER
High authorities in the capital
today saw the imminent posi-
bility that the government would
take over and operate the plants
paralyzed by the strike.
Swift action was foreseen IL
the association ignores an appeal
by President Roosevelt to return
to work.
The WLB order was received
shortly before the Briggs Manu-
featuring Co. announced that the
Briggs Mack avenue plant, eni-
ploying 1883 on all three shifts
was closed at 6 p. m. yesterday
because the Naval Bureau of Aero
nautics refused to accept delivery
of any more products owing to tha
lack of proper supervision and
inspection.
