4 Coed Exomple


been a timely example of the proof
If one were. needed-of state
ment made by Eric Johnston in an
article in the Readers Digest, and
quoted, editorially, last week by
this newspaper. In speaking of the
labor question, Johnston said:
"You cannot strike against gov
eminent. You cannot even truly
bargain with a government. Wages
and hours in government employ
ment are fixed by public law. No
group of public employees can over
turn public law enacted by the Con-
gress aud backed by the army and
navy. In any knockdown contest
between a government and union,
the union is beaten from the start.
Johnston also quoted CIO lead
er in Washington as once having
said.
Il would rather bargain with any
private employer than with any bu-
reaucrat. The bureaucrat has jails.
The incident Of the past week that
gives proof to these statements is
the strike of transport workers in
Philadelphia and the moving in of
the army. When the soldiers APP

onets and look of determination
in their eyes, the strike, for all prac-
teal purposes, was at an end. Cars
and buses were soon in operation
under the protection of soldier
guards
Major General Philip Hayes, in
command of the soldiers, said sol
diers would be used to operate such
vehicles as would otherwise remain
idle. He further said that any Of the
5000 strikers who refused to return
to work would be fired at once.
They were issued blunt order to
work or fight Their occupational
deferments were cancelled and they
were denied referral to any other
jobs, General Hayes stated condi-
tons in a nutshell when he said:
Each day this transit system is
idle we lose desperately needed
guns, trucks, ammunition, radaI
equipment and other critical mate
rial, because workers can not get
to their jobs.
If we were losing similar guam
titles of materials as result OIL
enemy action we would not hesitate
to take drastic steps to end Oul
loses. In this case where the lives
of our fighting men and the prog
ress Of the war are involved, VIZ
must be equally. decisive.
The strike was an unauthorized
one and the action taken to end i
was most commendable Union Of.
ficials had urged the strikers to re
turn to work and had condemned
the strike. Four Of the leaders wer,
arrested Monday and will stant
trial. That is simple justice.
All of which merely emphasize
the point that labor surely does no
want to see further dictatorship i'm
posed on this nation. Labor suffer
under dictatorship the same as d
all other citizens. Strikes end Whel
the government and its soldier
take hand in the controversy

A Remarkable Map

The many members OF the Ma
tional Geographic society have re-
ceived the remarkable new map OF
japan and adjacent regions put out
recently by that organization.
This is the first time that a de-
tailed map has been computed with
the geographic heart OF Toxic as its
center. The National Geographic
Bulletin states that the exact spot
is Tokio's central railway station
about which cluster the imperial pal
ace, the central post Office and the
Marunouchi building, one OF the
city's largest official structures.
The map has been compiled OF
entirely new base material and is
being used by the general staff and
other government departments
which opened their files to the Ma
tional Geographic researchers for
its preparation.
Just because we have our eyes on
western Europe at the moment is no
reason why we should forget what ia
going on in the Pacific. Fortunately,
our forces have been built up there
to the point where we can carry on
simultaneous action with the move
! ments Of the armies In Europe.
