THE CHERRY TREE

Meanwhile labor produced as if
some inspired and gigantic genius
were pouring out the tools of wal
from some new, and amazing atomic
engine.
1t was only overtime that enabled
minority of workers to earn fairly
decent pay-and for that pay, brother,
men worked like demons. No other ma
tion can match the record of Ameri-
can workers. And yet they are being
kicked around.
Outfits like General Motors, Gen
eral Electric, Westinghouse and others
of size, missed a tremendous oppor-
tunity by not stepping forth, when the
shooting stopped, with proposal for
! real and honest adjustment of wages
upward, to get workers take home
pay up to a proper level.
Who knows what would have been
the result, in mutual respect, mutual
happiness and mutual well-being, if
employers had said to unions, "Come
on and let's sit down to figure out
how to adjust wages to fair and
proper level"
In this new atomic age we find en-
ployers acting almost exactly as if
they did 20 years ago, except that
strike breakers aren't used any more.
We still have the union demands,
the employer rejection, the exchange
of challenges and rebuttals- gen
eral horsing around, as if, in indus
try there could be no mutual interest
and no enlightened self-interest.
And, even as of old, labor, when
forced to fight for every nickle, de-
mands more than it hopes to get,
leaving room for compromise. Some
how, compromise giving labor less
than it asks-seems to make employ
ers happy. 1t gives them some balm
for their damn fat ego.
You can ask yourself what would be
the standard of living if labor had
not, from the start, battled for more
wages and fewer hours, along with
better conditions?
Employers always have fought lab
or's demands, but always they have
yielded here and there, the total of
their yielding being the total of to-
days standard of living.
Does anybody want to destroy that
standard, inadequate as it still is?
The truth is that labor is the MAX
er of decent standards and it is en-
titled to full credit.
1t gets kicked around, but somehow
it moves forward.
But it is time for an intelligent
nation to stop kicking labor around,
to stop believing every employer hand
out, to stop being fooled.
There is no standing still. We go
forward or we go backward.
Who, with any sense, wants to go
backward? Well, we improve, we gain
for the masses, or backward is where
we go. Let's all get some vision-some
honest understanding. Let's stop call
ing labor names.-CMW.

production in an attempt to blackmail
OPA into letting them raise their
prices. For example, only 100000
radios will be on the market by Christ
mas, although industry is capable of
producing 3,500,O00. Manufacturers of
other items, such as refrigerators,
autos, furniture and housing, are also
willing to clamp down on production
until they can squeeze out the maxi
mum profits.
The future face of America is at
stake in the present struggle between
industry and labor: the battle for
higher wages and full production is,
in its way, as crucial as was the battle
of Bataan.

tured II in his imagination-and
much as he hoped it would be.
For the yard is the scene of a
small handicraft industry, and
probably in many ways it re-
aembies the coastal industries of
the old civilizations of the Med
iterranean as much as 1t resem-
bles the great steel mills and
war-plants of the modern era.
This is not to say that work is
not carried on at a lively pace,
fro it Is. But the chief product
of the yards is a small handicraft
object--a painted decoy used by
hunters to lure ducks into the
blinds-and the workers see this
object through all the simple
stages of manufacture.
The office of this establish
ment is'in a little frame building
that once was a two-room house.
In this building works E. c. Poi
tevin, who with his brother, Eu-
gene P, owns the shipyard, and
who manages the decoy factory
for the Animal Trop Company
Of America. Mr.. Poitevin is a
dark haired, mild-mannered man,
who wears horn-rimmed glasses
and whose manner is that of a
boat builder and handicraftsman
rather than of a factory manager.
And as a matter of fact, there is
little about the establishment
that is like the big smoking fac
tories on the outskirts of cities.
Operate Store
Across from the office, a few
yards nearer the river, is the
small general merchandise, ma
rine supply, and hardware store
that the brothers operate in con-
nection with the shipyard. Be
hind the store is a chicken yard
where a few hens scratch in the
dust, and a dog run where a col
lie lies in the shade, and an old
piece of hosting machinery
rusting beneath a tree. A few
children who belong to the place
are playing under a shade tree
in d tent.
One grasps the fact that the
yard is really a collection of sew
eral smaller businesses, which is
typical industrial establishments
of this size in the South. The
store, the hardware business. the
boat ways are operated and own
ed by the two brothers. In the
big wooden-frame building
where boats were originally
built, they started a decoy fac
tory in 1925, and they conducted
this business as their own until
1910, Then in a business trans
action, they sold the decoy bust
ness to the trap company, and F..
c. Poitevin continued to operate

'DecoY Factory AT Poiievin Yards

Anyone who has fished from

in past years when there was
more commercial travelling on
the highways. Every now and
then some motorist would slow
down on the highway as he came
into Pascagoula, and drive very
slowly over the bridge, and one
could see a head peering out at

native industries in the harbor.

EIks Observe Flag
Day With Special
Program Sunday

In keeping with the annual
Flag Day celebration throughout
the nation on June Ia, the Pas
cagoula, Biloxi and Gu1fport
lodges presented a Flag Day pro-
gram Sunday afternoon at the
Pascagoula Elks home.
A patriotic address by Harold
Gautier was a feature of the
program which was under the di-
rection of E. A. Elliott, exalted
ruler of the Pascagoula group.
Vincent Ros of Pascagoula gave
a history of the American flag
and Chaplain f. A. DeMiller of
Biloxi offered the prayer. An al
tar service was presented by
the special officers. Music for
the occasion, which included sew
eral patriotic selections, was
provided by OFT Loree, pianist.
Refreshments of ice cream and
cake were served to the Elks,
their wives and other guests, at
the conclusion of the program.
Officers for the occasion were
exalted ruler, Henry w. Gautier,
Pascagoula; leading knight, Rus
sci Braun, Biloxi; loyal knight,
C. c. Blackwell, Gulfport; lee
turing knight, Murray Hurd,

well dressed for comfort, and
his well cut suit would be a
little too heavy for the climate.
For a moment he would look
up and down the river--at the
small boats on the ways, and the
nets drying on the wharves; at
the lakes and rushes stretching
away beneath ,he open sky.
But in a moment the spell
would yield to the call of re-
sponsipility. The car picked up
speed and the driver looked
ahead once more; and at last he
had vanished down the highway
toward Birmingham or Atlanta
or New York, or wherever he be-
longed. But in the realm of i'm
aginaiion he had entered for a
little while into this picturesque
world, which in real life would
always remain distant and unat-
tainable, like the scenes in a
painting. But of course he very
probably would never get to
know the realities of such a
business, the facts and figures,
what kind of lumber and mate
rails one dealt with, and what
sort of labor. and how the prod
uct was manufactured, and where
ii was sold. Nor would he ever
really have shaken off the big
business high-speed heavy-vol-
ume tempo of his life to sense
what it was like TO be a business
man with a small handicraft in
dustry on a quiet and peaceful
river.
Part of Blended Scenery
II such a traveller should one
day turn from the highway and
drive back along the side road
to the river to get a closer look
at one OF these typical business
establishments it might be that
he would settle for the Poitevin
Brothers Boat Yard, whose ways
and weathered old duck-decoy
factory are part of the blended
scenery that one sees from the
bridge
He would pass down a street
of cabins beside a small boat har-
Dor. He would see a few house
boats, with the housewife work
ing in the galley, and a few chill
dren playing on the porch, and
hound dog shifting through the
thick weeds on the banks. There
are a few sailing boats tied up
and d few trawlers. Then the
road leads through a dry-land
residential neighborhood, and
turning westward goes down to
the boat yard on the river.
The traveller would likely find
the atmosphere of this establish
ment very much as he had pic

Wide Distribution

Fifty per cent of the decoys are
sold by the Animal Trap Com
pany to the big sporting goods
houses in the North. Others go
to Louisiana, Texas and to the
West Coast and South Atlantic
Coast.
In. the first years after the
company was started, production
vas at a level of about 1000 doz-
en- decoys a year. AS more lathes
were added the output grew I'M
til about 1943 it reached about
10000 dozen a year. Mr.. Poitevin
expects to reach a level of about
$4,000 dozen in the postwar pc
Rod. The present daily output
averages about sixty dozen.
On the ways in front of the
factory the shipyard business is
carried on. employing four or
five men. There are always two
or three trawIers on the ways
for caulking, painting and gem
eral hull repairs. And there r
always a few others moored at
