BLAMES POLITICS

The answer is found in the one
force which overpowers all others

politics, and in his political de-
pcndence upon the more radical

sale and department store en-
ployeS" has expired Ward OBJ
iectcd TO signing new contract

membership (the closed shop, in

-ptoycS. So The union. being afraid
Of the results OF an election,
struck. Moreover. the Go union
badly needed the maintenance of
membership 10 hold It's own.
The Go officials. therefore,
seem TO have induced the Presi-

NOT WAR PLANTS

The fact is that while some
Montgomery Ward subsidiaries To-
Gated elsewhere than In Chicago
do make farm equipment and one
makes carburctorS and propellerS
not a single part of the Chicago
plant does so
Clear proof Of this is seen in the
fact that none of Wards employees
has been classified as essential TO
war production Not one has had
his draft deferred on that account
How do you explain that, if the
company is an essential war
facility
