Dispute Boils Over

long sirnmering dispute in the War Labor
Board between public and labor members on
one side and industry members on the other
has finally boiled over. The industry mem
bers, in angry dissent, have asked that the
majority's custom Of granting maintenance Of
union membership be submitted to 4 court de-
eision.
This request IL timely, quite apart from
the dispute in question, and should Be grant
3D. For the rnajority's defense Of its actions
in this case displays 4 rather swollen idea of
the WLB's function.
Public and labor members announced that
the granting Of membership maintenance has
been common practice for two years, and Is
now a national policy" They also said that
their solution was the only one for the ''un-
reconciIable demands Of management for an
open shop and unions for the closed shop.
But the WLB was not created to formulate
national policy" It Is 4 body with limited,
loosely defined powers. Its purpose is to ex-
pedite efficient war production by settling
such disputes as defy usual means OF arbitra-
ton. It's decisions are not national policy
except in the boards own announcement. They
are not the law Of the land.
There is also something very arbitrary In
the majority's excuse that union security was
the only solution. The excuse would have
been Just as apt if the decision had gone the
other way, since it was only question Of
tivng the nod to one side when neither would
give in.
OF course, the majority members have some
better excuses for membership maintenance
than that, and they used them. But the
minority has some sound arguments against
membership maintenance, too. These are de-
batable and should be debated.
But in the flimsiest support OF their stand,
that Of the only solution" the majority men,
beers admitted Of no debate. They made the
statement, and that was that.
The WLBs history indicates that both labor
and industry members are biased. They
doubtless hope to evolve labor policies that
will endure after the war. If the majority
decision had been for the open shop, the labor
members would have been justified in yelling
Just as loud as their industry colleagues have
done.
But the point is that the WLB is not policy
making body. If its members have forgotten
that, it is well that the courts should now
define its specific powers.

Joys of Fatherhood

We should like to take issue, mildly. with 4
current magazine I'D which goes about selling
hand lotion in a roundabout way by printing
m imaginary. rather emotional message from
a young mother to her soldier husband. 1t
seems that the husband, because Of his mill
tarv duties, had not been able TO see their in
FAINT daughter until she was six months old.
The mother couldn't bear to have him miss
50 much Of their baby.
Our dissenting opinion is that she is wasting
sympathy on the father, especially II 1t is 4
first child. There are few more shatterins ex-
periences than a mans first sight Of his first
offspring. We will also make the bold state
ment that any man who can call any hour
or day-old infant beautiful (even his own) is 4
hypocrite and 4 slave Of convention. Any in.
FAINT Of that tender age looks like the most
wrinlled apple in the bottom Of the barrel.
The whole trouble, Of course, is that the
most hard-boiled new father is romantic, In
addition to being conditioned by convention.
He knows that he should be a proud papa.
Nou will be, brother-but not yet, not YETI
He thinks Of all the small parcels Of pink
ard-white loveiness that he has casually
glanced at That is how he imagines his OWE
baby-except that. since it will be his, 1t Will
be 4 super de luxe model.
Well now. 4 e-months- old baby looks ~ NJ
ina gined a new baby should look. 1t really
is pink and white, fragrant, and decidedly hui
man. In addition, the happy soldier-father has
been spared 1870 nights Of insistent demands for
Il a. m. feelings. etc.
No, the soldier in the I'D needs no sympathy
He has experienced one Of the undoubted bles-
sings Of Army life.

know that while our European striking fotce

Toward Normally

A recent U. S. Circuit Court Of Appeals de-
csion In New York has prepared a shield for
the Good Time Charley showoff in the happier
days to come. In ruling that certain dornes-
tic champagne bore label too like the i'm
ported Munm variety to be legal, the judges
said:
champagne is wine especially cherished
by those who seek to impress their associates
with their opulence and nnunificenee. s..
Those who covet a name for taste and elegance
do affect discrimination in the recognition OF
various brands. But as an evening wears on,
a casual glance at the label is enough to as.
sure the host and his table that he remains
as tree-handed as when he began. At such
stages of an entertainment nothing will be
easier than for an INSCRIPTIONS restaurant
keeper to substitute the domestic champagne
So when the lights come on again, the snob
is guaranteed full value received

Two Pictures In The Pacific

Following the attack on Pearl Harbor and
the conquest Of the Philippines the japanese
tauntingly asked where the United States fleet
was hiding and dared it to come out and
fight And it must be admitted that after
these enemy assaults our Pacific fleet was
in no condition to meet the japanese at sea
In the time that has passed since those
bitter days the position of the American and
the japanese fleets has been reversed. Every
attack by task forces under command of Ad.
nairal Nimitz has constituted a challenge to
the japanese fleet to come out and fight. In.
stead Of accepting the challenge the japanese
Navy has withdrawn from its furthermost out
posts and apparently is awaiting attack in
its own home waters.
Herein lies a fundamental difference be.
tween Americans and japanese. After Pearl
Harbor and the extraordinary naval strength
Japan displayed throughout its subsequent OPP
erations. it is conceivable that the American
fleet might have retired to our Pacific coast
to await the attack Tokyo so glibly said would
come at no distant date. Instead. and in the
face Of two bitter blows. we started naval
construction on unprecedented scale so that
now no outpost in Japan's island bastions is
safe. This has been underway while Japan
has been compelled or has found it expedient
to concentrate its remaining sea power at
home.
Pearl Harbor has not only been restored
Its strength has been increased. Japan's Pearl
Harbor, Truk, has been virtually abandoned.
Is it not reasonable to think, on the strength
of what has happened since December 7, 1e41
that clear-cut victory in the Pacific need
not be long delayed after the elimination Of
Hitler?

Postwar Speed Limits

Harold F. Hammond, head Of the National
Bureaus traffic division. predicts
that e5 miles IN hour will be the top speed
limit a, the best highway after the war, no
.nattey how streanalined our ears or how super
our highways and motor fuel may be.
We hope that his prediction is correct In
each Of our recent peaeetinne years traffic ae-
ciderats have taken as many lives Is a major
military operation. When normal driving is
resumed, our. psnt-up desire for speed will
lead the country en an awful motoring binge
if we are not curbed.
As Mr.. Hammond says, mo one has yet
been able to engineer safety into the driver"

he started to rush out he said to
me, Come jump in my car and
I'll take you back to your hotel"
But as we had risen from our
chairs l could sense that soldiers
all over the lobby were getting up
and starting to move tentatively
toward us. I told the Colonel I'd
stay at the club awhile.
The moment he left I was sur
rounded by soldiers. There were
more than 100 of them, mostly
from this gang of lost men out at
the transient camp. I didn't know
them but they knew me, from Tu.
nisia and Sicily and Italy.
They surged around and talked
and tried to tell me how desper-
ate they had become. They tried
to say they didn't just selfishly
want to 60 home but were frantic
to get unlost and get to doing
something in the war again, even
if it meant going back to the front
at once.
Then they pulled out notebooks
and franc notes, Ira and post
cards and snapshots of wives,
sWeethearts, and showed them at
me to sign. One boy even ruined
fresh $40 bill with my signature
I sat and wrote my name for 20
minutes without stopping.
Then they asked if they could
take some snapshots on the side
walk out front So we moved out
in a great body and held up side
walk traffic while soldier after
soldier snapped his camera.
Finally we were through and I
said goodby and asked the way
back to my hotel. And at that
hite-helmeted M. P stepped out
Of the crowd and said, Well take
you back, SIR
And so, in the splendor Of
weapons carrier with an M. P. on
either side of me I rode back to
the hotel. And that is the end of
the story. I tell it because a man
cannot help but feel proud to be
