Women Strikers

THIS newspaper shudders at the
L cynical Kipling contention that
the female of the species is more
deadly than the male" but the con-
duct of the Bower strikers indicates
that, in extreme cases, the female
may be more flighty.
Yesterday, for instance, male
members of the same union remained
on the job while the feminine strikers
are reported to have paraded up and
down in front of the plant singing:
What the hell do we care?"
They should care. They should
care a great deal and be properly
ashamed that their lallygagging
stifled production on parts critically
needed to help their soldier sons and
brothers and husbands fight battles
IN Europe and in the south Pacific.
They should ponder especially the
fact, that if all of us adopted their
what the hell do we care" attitude,
this war would be lost to America,
then and there.

10 me at the time by many vol
unteers TO whom acknowledge
ment is now made as the states
reassert themselves in a number
of their interests.
IN THE nasty wrangle over
the soldier vote, the states
are rediscovering their exist
.ence and resisting absorption
and intimidation and, in rebel
hon against the outrageous con-
duct of the union movement IN
defiance of the rights and au-
thority of the states, about
dozen legislatures have adopted
corrective laws, some of them
angrily reactionary in spots and
defiant of federal laws and de-
cisions.
In general, all this is sign
of returning health and useful
ness. The figure proposed in
New York as limitation of the
federal tax is arbitrary and
debatable, but the very proposal
is a recognition Of the fact that,
in the absence OF any limitation
whatever, the federal govern

some tax cases. has done so.

y ETWEEN $50 and 500 women en-
- ployes of the Hart street plant of
the Bower Roller Bearing Co., went
on strike yesterday, tying up produc-
ton of vitally essential bearings for
war equipment.
They chose a singularly inappro-
pirate time for their walkout and a
highly illogical reason.
Their timing was unfortunate be-
cause ii happened to be the final day
of the Fourth War Loan drive and
everybody in Detroit, except perhaps
the capricious strikers, knew that
Detroit was tagging almost SO per
cent behind It's + bond quota. A
dismal day indeed for striking.
Their provocation was whimsical
because it had no concern with work
ING conditions or any dispute be-
tween employees and management.
The strike was admittedly in protest
against a War Labor Board wage
ruling handed down Saturday and
the company had no more to do with
that ruling than had the strikers.

FAIR ENOUGH

DACK in the first phase of the

those who believed the states
should be abolished and that
the country then should be cut
up into not more than, say,
dozen departments or counties,
in the interest of order, econ

arguments, for many of us were
out of temper with the waste OF
taxes earned by the sweat of
those who toll in the mainte-
nance of gritty little political
organizations in the minute sub
division of government and the
sloppy indifference and vast
number of political jobholders in
the county seats and state
capitals.

The I.2jO.OOO Members
OF the American Legion

THE 1,250,000 members Of the
L American Legion have begun a
nationwide campaign that should
have the active, dynamic and 1MME-
DIATE support Of every American.
Under their national commander,
Warren II. Atherton, and the Lee
gion national legislative committee
il Will urge by every legitimate
means in ITS power the passage by
Congress of the "GI Bill of Rights.
The bill that President Roosevelt
Just signed gives honorably mus
tered-out veterans a miserly maxi
mum of $500, payable in three
monthly instalments-with lot of
red-tape certificate signing.
That law should bring a blush of
shame to every American face.
THE "GI Bill of Rights proposed
L by the Legion provides for:
Continuation Of the education Of
every ServIceTan and woman whose
schooling was interrupted by the
war, with educational money allow
ances.
Aid for veterans in obtaining EN-
plovment.
Unemployment compensation to
every veteran who needs it.
Loans to buy homes, farms or
establish business.
Concentration of all veterans
affairs IN the veterans administra-
ton instead of in diverse govern
ment bureaus.
This BILL of Rights" does not
propose to pay merely few dollars
10 our servicemen and then dismiss
them as if they were something to be
got rid of.
1t demands that the men who are
fighting TO preserve our way of life
shall fully and Immediately partici-
pate in that way of life when they
are mustered out.
A s OUR men in service are the
"A wards of the government now SO
should the destitute, the unemployed
and those whose education has been
neglected be wards of the govern
ment when the peace that they are
winning at the daily risk of their
lives shall come to pass.
In issuing his appeal to all Amer
leans to ask their congressman by
letter, telephone and telegraph to
support the Legion's "Bill of
Rights" Commander Atherton says
THAT bill is Bill of Rights in

tees to the veterans of this war full
enjoyment of the life, liberty and
pursuit of happiness for which they
are smuggling through the blood,
sweat and tears of war"
This country can do no less than
that for our men.
The soldier on our streets with
Tin cup and dog must never be seen
again.
COMMANDER ATHERTON also
- rightly denounceS the $500 maxi
mum measure which has just become

1t is deadly" because il strikes
a vital blow at the morale of II .000,-
coo men under arms.
1t is little short of a postwar
promise of dismissal and neglect.
It handout with a kick in
the rear.
1t is false" economy because it
selects the greatest and most beloved
body of men in the republic as an
implement of financial "retrench-
ment
Billions are being appropriated
and more billions will be appropri-
ated and spent by the government to
rehabihtate enslaved peoples in
the four corners of the earth.
pUT no provision has been made to
- "rehabilitate," after muster-out,
of the verymen@ who- are freeing
these enslaved peoples-the Ameri-
can fighters on land, sea and air.
Washington is knitting It's brows
over the problem of how to read
just the peoples of Europe to civil
ian life when the Nazis are defeated.
But nothing is being done to read
just our veterans to civilian life when
Rehabilitation comes.
The "GI Bill of Rights" will rem
edy this
It MUST be passed by Congress.
The combined efforts of the Lee
gion and the nearest of kin of our
millions of men in service have the
power to make the veterans Bill of
Rights" a law
Get behind the Legion-EVERY-
BODY!
Your congressman are there to
take your orders.
Write, telephone, telegraph.
There must be no road hereafter
from the battle line to the bread line
for our defenders!

HUGHES: In the next election there will
doubtless be more women voters than men-if they
use their vote.
But like the men, all too large part of them
are afraid of freedom and responsibility. They
seek refuge in systems that promise safety, but at
the price of liberty
Isabel Paterson (author of the book 'The
God of the Machine'O is not one of those pink
ladies who are dazzed by colIectivism or other
conditions that suppress individualism. She boldly
calls Marx "a fool with vocabulary
Men always accusing women Of being
changcable. Our own Oliver HEREFORD used to ask
why rUomens minds cleaner than mems?
IL is because they change them oftener"
BUT No WOMAN EVER CHANGED HER
MIND OFTENER THAN MARX DID HIS, OR
EVER UTTERED ASENTIMENT WITH MORE
DISREGARD FOR HISTORICAL FACT OR
CONSISTENCY.
MARX could never earn any money. That enabled
4ti him to write monumental fairy story called
" kapita.'
He married rich wife who kept him alive and
writing while her money lasted.
She is said to have said
My husband is always writing about capital
l wish he'd bring home little
Marx got his money from CAPITALIST
SOURCE Isabel Paterson points ont that these
coffect1v1st societies always taking over the
wealth others built up.
Her ideas naturally infuriate such theorists,
but she is bold enough to say
During the past Is years, collectivism has
been imposed on one European nation after an !
other.
During that period considerable improve
ments in machinery have been made in the United
States
HAS any collectivist nation made any funda-
mental Improvement in machinery?
NONE.
ITTNHE Nazi collective promised workngmen in
l. Germany cheap cars, which American work
ingmen HAVE HAD IN INCREASING NUN
BERS FOR Is YEARS.
Has even one cheap car been produced for
or obtained by workingman in Germany? Or in
Russia? Or in Japan? NOT ONE.
HAS the standard of living risen in either
country?
"No, it has fallen far below the 10Th century
level
Women are always startling male plodders
and dreamers with jets of cold and piercing
mon sense.
They save too much Of it for domestic and
the confusion of mere husbands
They should give the public the benefit of it.
Miss Paterson points out that our system of
free enterprise has saved us from having
known famine. The Indians who were here before
us died of famine; but our people have never
known one.
Not many years ago Russia lost millions of
lives by famine.
