CONSERVATION
OF MANPOWER
FOURTH OF A SERIES

More than quarter of all work in
juries in the United States arise from
the handling and storage of materials
according to the National Committee
for Conservation of Manpower in War
Industries which has designated this
field of war production as one of its
most essential safety detectives.
The committee of the U. S. Depart
ment of Labor hopes to reduce the
half million injuries that occurred
last year in getting raw materials and
supplies to war plants, storing them
for use, moving the goods through the
production process, warehousing and
shipping.
Here are the NCCMWI suggestions
for the safe handling and storing of
1. Learn to lift the right way. Keep
the body upright; lift with the leg
muscles and not with the back. Do
not try to lift too much. Get help
if necessary.
2. Wear hand pads or gloves when
handling sharp-edged scrap or
rough material.
g. Remove all projecting nails from
barrels, crates, and all other places
where they might cause accidents.
4. Keep floors clean. Oil or water is
especially dangerous on floors near
machines, near sharp-edged tools
or materials.
s. 90 not use gasoline or other in
flammable substances in a closed
room or near an open flame or on
a hot surface.
6. All oils, paints, and other inflam-
mable or explosive substances
should be stored in specially pro-
vided safety containers, and only
small quantities of such materials
(never more than a days supply
should be taken into the workroom
at one time.
T. Do not pile or place objects or ma
terials near machines or in such a
position that they can fall over or
block passageways. Do not leave

and industrial enterprises were res
cued from bankruptcy by New Deal
boondoggling. You must remember
that most of our states, counties,
cities, and even school districts, and
the leading citizens of all shades OF
political opinion, who were active
leaders therein, approved and adopted
New Deal boondoggling, until at least
La very large part of local municipal
debts were transferred to Washing
ton. Is it your considered opinion,
Mr.. Hart, that all of those individuals,
institutions, and municipalities were
not worth saving? While you are in
plain view of those tremendous saw
ings and recoveries in human, social
and economic values, you present us
this statement, as If it were a fact:
"This spendthrift philosophy h a 8
shaped New Deal policies from the
beginning. The Administration
assumed it could squander the nations
wealth with impunity." Is your state
ment fair, honest, American? Well,
what do you think? I will admit it
will ever seem painful, and perhaps
seem like waste of money, "to pay
for dead horses" However, you should
always keep in mind the unacceptable
fact that the Harding Coolidge-Hoover
regimes had already produced the
"dead horses" the New Deal had to
pay for.
4. Your propaganda is essentially a
Because you wish to
make it appear as non-political, it be-
comes, in large part at least, an at
tack upon our conduct of the war.
You Unfortunately. lump the New
Deal, the administration, and all the
activities of the war effort Through
national spending), as cumulating
and inseparable whole, leaving your
readers free to include such further
vague and underlined matters of cause
and effect, as might readily accom-
pany such all-inclusive generaliza-
lions, unless your readers are fortified
by factual information to the con-
Lrary.
In my opinion, this course Is en-
tirely unfair and uncalled-for. You
must note that nearly all members of
The opposition party voted for the
great bulk Of the New Deal commit
nents, as they are now voting for
he war spending, much of which you !
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1944-02-18

belittle and oppose. You must have
noted the steady and continuing
growth of Pressure Group influence
in our government-not only during
the span of the New Deal, but for at
least a generation past. You surely
have observed during many recent
elections, that congressman from both
chambers. seeking reelection, have
frequently boosted, from the platform
and through the press-"I have voted
1902 for the farmers; 81 have voted
1000 for sound business interest;
Il have voted 1000 for labor; 81
have stood 1000 with Doctor Town
send" ETC., and this is craftsmanship
in our land.
This Pressure Group influence has
become a terrific pain in the neck"
to the average citizen and voter, who
thinks in terms of the general well
fare of the country. That influence
is now very grave threat and men,
ace to our national unity, progress
and hope for victory, and to the later
solution of post war issues. We who
are trying to do the present day tasks
in supporting a global war, and main
tanning and lettering our birthright
of American citizenship, must emulate
and copy young America in our armed
services. Those young people are
showing splendid skill, versatility
and judgment, heroic moral and phys
ical courage, and complete submerg-
ence of their personal plans, hopes
and lives, that their country may live
and prosper. If we who try to solve
the home problems, would use just a
fraction of the skill, courage and hon.
esty In our efforts, that those young
sters use on the battlefields, we would
make immediate and continued prog
ress toward success. We cannot do
it by selfish partisan politics, no mat
ter how cleverly such actions may be
concealed.
In concluding, Mr.. Hart, I can only |
say that if you cannot better follow |
the facts of recent American econom- |
ic history, if you cannot write more
intellectual honesty and moral cour-
age into your statements, if you can
not include a fair coloring of that |
spirit of Fair Play which / think
Is inherent in good American citizen
ship, If you cannot realize that the
United States is in a deadly struggle |
for every single privilege we cherish,

Hart Gets Told



preston that this lady spoke officially
for the New Deal and the national ad
ministration. You have taken mel
statement (Which l assume she actu
ally made), entirely away from the
context or subject matter of her adj
dress or written statement You use
her statement SO detached, as II sne
had been, in fac, an elected or ap-
pointed official of the national ad-
ministration, speaking ex cathedra, on
national policies and affairs. | think
your method of using this lady's state
ment is a fragrant abuse of ordinary
fairness and intellectual honesty, and
also an abuse of the rights above men
toned.
| feel that your words contribute
nothing to the solution of the prob
lens you mention. | feel that you
hinder, rather than help, the unity,
progress, and mutual harmony of your
country, when it is engaged in an all
out struggle for it's very existence.
The people of the United States con-
template with warm and friendly in
terest and some amazement the many
attainments of our First Lady, but
the vast majority of them do not
read "My Day" Americans in gen
eral fully realize that Mrs. Roosevelt's
husband is a rather individual1stic
person in his own right, and do not
deeply concern themselves with the
gems of speech or pearls of wisdom
that may emanate from her oratorical
or literary efforts.
2. | wish to comment on your sup
port of the effort to kill subsidies,
when used to control prices of goods.
A leader of the fight on subsidies, a
man who represents large body of
citizens, is reported to have told a
congressional committee, in effect, "a
little initiation would do us all lot
of good" You are supporting that
statement, Mr.. Hart though you are
not frank enough to say so. Mr..
O'Neal is leading the fight on sub
sides, and you are Supporting the
fight. Why ask all of us poor be-
nighted persons, whom you are edu-
eating gratis, to give so much i'm
portance to a Statement" extracted |
at random from the First Lady's daily |
column, when at the same time you |
ignore and conceal a more deadly |
statement, which is essentially apro-
pos to the subject you are discussing?
You cleverly conceal the fact that you
favor initiation, by saying you are try
ing to keep down the public debt.
You offer no proof of this general
statement of your opinion, though |
much good argument has been offered
elsewhere, that the course you advo-
cate will not hold down the public
debt, but may greatly increase it.
You should at least read again Mr..
Leon Henderson's statement about
"a little initiation, that sit is very
like "a little pregnancy 1t keeps
growing"
Some of the leaders of the Farm
Bloc have been wailing for Initiation
(higher prices)-and you admit you
are for it. Farmers in general are
not asking for higher prices, but are
rather afraid of such. The best in

formation I can secure shows that
most farmers are making money. Mil
lions of them are paying their debts
in full. They are improving their
farms by purchasing adjoining tracts,
and are paying cash in full for same.
They are buying war bonds in fairly
generous amounts. They are paying
their taxes promptly, and many of
them have additional cash reserves.
Farmers generally know that the bur-
dens of war have not yet come home
to the people of this country at all,
in the sense that the rest of the world
feels those burdens. All intelligent
people in America know that we as
a people have not even started ito
give" or ito suffer-" or ITO do with
out" in support of the great needs of
our country.
| You say, Taxes have reached their
practical limit" You offer no proof
of this, your opinion, though you state
| it as If it were a fact. How can you
support that statement when Amer
leans are now paying their taxes prob
ably more readily than ever before?
How can you publish such a state
ment, without word of proof, when
practically none of the rank and file
of American taxpayers are Directing
to present levies? Most Americans
would, think, gladly pay more taxes,
till it actually did hurt, if by so doing
they could more effectively advance
the war effort, and better support
those millions of fine young Amer
leans in all our armed services, who
are not sobbing about the New Deal,
surtaxes, rates, exemptions, wages,
hours, vacations, or other selfish dis
fractions which seem so important to
some here at home.
8. You state on page l of your let
ter, "The New Deal is now spending
at the rate of $846 per capita" That |
statement is untrue. The present |
congress (hardly the New DeaD may |
have appropriated $846 per capita, but |
on page of your letter, you quote
Representatives Snyder and Taber as
saying that about Is billions of those
appropriations will be turned back by
the Army and Navy. You do not ex-
plain how the Army and Navy got
that money away from the New Deal.
According to your own figures, from
Is to 20% of the appropriations have
not been spent and will not be spent,
yet you nonchalanly assert the New
Deal is spending it. You charge all
the war costs to the New Deal though
the money has been appropriated by
an evenly balanced partisan congress,
many members being violently anti
New Deal, and the Army and Navy
are spending most of it. l have called
your statement untrue, Mr. Hart, but
really consider it deliberate false
hood. 1t could not be mistake.
You go on and cite what you con-
ceive to be other bad features of New
Deal action. l looked in vain for any
recognition of a worthy accomplish
