So This Is New York
BY North Callahan

A vivid reminder Of the war came to
New York last week in the form Of a
trim Infantry regiment. 1t marched
ner observing an old custom and cele-
brating an old branch Of the Army. This
was on Infantry Day, chosen to com
memorate the Importance Of the foot
soldier in this war. He does not ride in
. soaring airplane or husky tank. The
doughboy charges the enemy under his
vi power. For his charge, all else is
prepared and there Is nothing in front
Of him but the enemy.

Thaddeus Skutnik works here now.
But he used to work in the great Skoda
Arms Plant in Czecho Slovakia and be-
fore the war, thought he had = steady
job in that industry which can have no
other than . violent ending. His job was
that Of a lathe operator. Then came the
nazis and his country crumbled under
their panzer blows. Thaddeus came to
America with hate in his heart and
thankfulness for being allowed to enter

The bather on a local beach was sur
prised the other day when he found on
the sands, a clam with teeth. No. this
was not a new kind of dentured sesfood.
ms teeth belonged to a human who had
lost them, and the big white clam-mus-
sci had apparently tried to swallow them
but they would not go down. The local
papers published the story and a few
days later a woman identified her low
er plate.

Around the curbstones of Times
Square, an odd kind of information SER
vice has grown up. 1t is made up of
twenty men who try to make their liy-
ing doing other things but people take
up a lot of their time asking them
questions. These men are the guides
VINO advertise on their caps, trips to
Chinatown. the Battery, etc. Now with
so many service men and others flock
ing into New York and great numbers
OF them eonverging on Times Square
THESE guides are the logical objects of
queries such as where is the Stage
Door Canteen, the uSO, Radio City, the
Empire State Building and Times
square, These guides, though often
despairing of doing some work with
money in it, have worked out a pretty
good system. If somebody wants to know
where to buy some particular item. they
usually just send them to Macv's. One
day an ungrateful lady called one of
the guides a bum" after he had answer
ed her inquiry. Then she walked over
to another guide to question him. The
first one yelled at the other guide not
to answer her, as she would only call
aim a bum. "Too late" came back the
answer, shes already called me one
These guides nave a lot of information
too. Ellis Island is mostly foreign
SOIL, one said. "You see, ships used to
drop their ballast there"

able laws, the Governments policy
should be to keep hands off except in
cases of extreme emergency.
False Sterilization
We think the public should under
stand that most disputes that lead to
strikes these days do not involve quar-
rels between management and labor.
On the contrary, management and
labor are more frequently in agree
ment than at odds. The blunt truth is
that the fight is between labor and
the Governments policy, as it is con-
tradictorily administered by Federal
agencies.
These agencies, from the Office of
War Mobilization down, are trying to
operate on the theory that wages can
be frozen while the cost Of living is
permitted to go up. That just won't
work. All the Government propaganda
in the world won't make it work. All
the newspaper stories attempting to
make it appear that workers are tax
ing advantage of the war to gain
wage increases won't change the
facts.
What are the facts? AS revealed in
the joint AFL-CIO report to the
Presidents Committee Investigating
the Cost Of Living, workers must pay
more than SLAB now for what they
could get for dollar at the time Of
Pearl Harbor. That means an auto
matte 43 per cent wage reduction
brought about by imitation. No group
of workers in America that we know
of has been able to get correspond
ing increase in wage rates. In fact,
the great majority have been unable

FACING
The
FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

We listened with great interest to
John Frey's talk over Labor For Vic
tory" in which he placed responsibility
for many of the wartime strikes
which have occurred upon the multi
plicity of Federal agencies dealing
with labor problems and the resultant
delay and confusion in resolving the
disputes.
There is more than a germ Of truth
in the veteran labor leaders conclu-
sions. And there is sound reasoning
back of his major recommendation
that all agencies handling labor mat
ters be centralized within the Depart
ment of Labor so that a clear and
consistent national labor policy can be
developed and put into effect.
Innumerable instances come to mind
of strikes that never should have oc-
Cured and never would have hap
pened except for bungling interfer-
ence ON the part of Government agen-
cies with the orderly processes Of col
lective bargaining.
And there, we think, is the key to
the whole puzzle. Instead of creating
more Government bureaus to NEEDLE
with labor disputes, instead of pass
ing more prohibitory but unenforce-
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1944-02-18

sought to abili their failures by max
ing labor the goat.
Had the nations wartime economy
been soundly and honestly admins
tered, had prices been kept sternly in
check, there would have been no JUS
tification and no demand for higher
wages.
This is no idle speculation. There
are facts to prove it. The building
trades workers, for instance, volun-
tarlly agreed to stabilize their wage
rates at the levels prevailing on July
l, 1912, even though prices were soar
ing then. The shipyard workers con-
sented to forego wage increases due
them under contract provisions on
President Roosevelt's promise that
the cost of living would not be per-
mitted to go higher That promise has
not been kept.
The pressure of increasing living
costs is bad enough. But when work.
ers seek relief, what do they find? ?
Under the so-called stabilization pro-
gram, their employers, who recognize
the facts and are able to pay higher
wage rates because of mounting prof
its, cannot do so without permission
from the Government And the twen-
ty-fve Federal agencies operating in
this field have been falling all over
themselves, as Mr.. Frey pointed out
in his talk, in frantic attempts to raise
artificial distractions and to create
interminable delays.
We still think that strikes under
any circumstances are indefensible in
wartime. But when workers are driven
to strike under such conditions, the
blame should be put where it belongs
on the Government.
Every Army induction center is
equipped with delousing station.
The CIO could use one now too.
For the events of the past few
weeks have proved even to the most
broad-minded that several CIO unions
are infested with type of vermiaous
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1944-02-18

to secure more than the Is per cent
allowable under the Little Steel For
mula. AS result, they have been re-
quired to make up for the loss Of buy
ing power Of their wage dollars by
putting in long hours Of overtime.
The state Of mind of a worker who
finds that he has less left at the end
of 48-hour week than he used to
have after after working only 40
hours-especially when he reads in
the newspapers about the great riches
being amassed by war workers-is,
we are afraid, conducive to strikes.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1944-02-18
Responsibility for Strikes

Therefore, we assert that the basic
cause for strikes in wartime America
is the disgraceful failure of the stabil-
ization program. The real responsible
ity for strikes lies upon Congress and
upon the administrative heads Of Fed
eral agencies who have weakly and
cowardly surrendered to the profiteer-
ing element constantly seeking to
force higher prices; who have failed
to put into effect an adequate or a
comprehensive price subsidy pro-
gram and who have treacherously

 HAFtfogd, Oct. 0-gpeCiai programs initiated by the War ManpoweE Commission during August to find workers for the heavy tire industry in Connecticut and elsewhere in the country, met with reasonable gucs cess, said Paul v.

 The special drives succeeded in getting two-thlrdB Of the fnanpower needs of the heavy tire program, the communication said, adding that there B c good likelihood that tho program Of the remaining needs would Dc met by the end Of this month. On August 1, the number of additional workers needed was ifl the roighborhood of 5000 but by tie end of the month, ag c result Of tho special recruitment devices employed by the War Manpower Commission, only 1,840 of these "mtsV jobs remained thrilled The industry in the nation reported ac- tuai increases in employment and not Q lowering of labor requirements,
 McNutt's statement said that local and tntersregionai recruit ment brought gratifying results 10 Chico- pes Falls, Mass, where some 300 fs1uch needed workers were added to the payT0lis as . result Of tho drive,
 Some success was attained in Con. negticut where rubber plants also were ti1 need Of special labor, Elm. ployTnent on tire and tubes, McNutt sDtd, including passenger and heavy duty tires, totaled 10000 persons on August 1.

 Following Q call by the office Of the Rubber Director for 90 per cent increase over July production by the end Of September, the War ManpOwer Commission accorded m "A" priority rating to recruitment for heavy rubber tire workers, giVs ing tire firms the right to share the highest nationwide preference in hiring general labor.
 Mr, Fitzgerald said that while the War ManpoWer Commission has been successful i1 obtaining some help for these special projects in Connecticut, there still exists Q need for more workers, not only for the heavy duty tire manifacts urMs but also the forge and founds ple1 Of the state.
