 While Nazi shrapnel burst over Anzo and the Japs beheaded American prisoners, our officials con ducted haf-hearted campaigns against 'absenteelsm in the plants and had to bring some warriors back to plead with high-pad loierers to get out the machinery of battle.
 "Oh, yes, Congress said that men snatched from their workbench to fill the fighting ranks would get their jobs back when they returned. But the big unions argued the point of seniority, and still so arguing And never it decreed by law that a soldier leaving an open shop job could go back to work without joining union not of his own choice, if that job had been covered in the meantime by a closed shop contract.

LABOR STRIKES

good many returning veterans have gone back to peaceme jobs only to find that instead of working they are striking because workers who stayed at home during the war have now decided they must have 30 percent increase in wages. Undoubtedly for those who managed to save some of their fat pay envelopes few weeks of ideness isn't going to hurt but the men who fought the war private's pay probably don't feel the way. The Labor Digest recently printed what to be good summary of the situation. Entitled, Free Labor Speaks" it follows
 Ever since the passage of the draft law, and especially since Pearl Harbor, we have heard a lot of sober talk about preventing rise of antagonism between war veterans and the leaders of organized labor We'll what has been done about it?
 This week we see one of the end-resuts of fight ing a war on the battle fronts in the old-fashioned lood-and-g -guts way-and conducting it on the home front by handling labor unions with doeskin gloves

A press association reports that the strike over snarled contract after recent tiations blocked by union officials refusing to allow returning members of the armed forces to accept employment without joining the union
 Many months ago The Labor Digest warned that war veterans would find upon their return to civilian jobs that they small potatoes, indeed compared with the union organizer the shop steward and the grievance committee.

HOROSCOPE "The stors incline
 bat do not compel"
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9

Benefic aspects rule strongly to- day which should be favorable for all constructive work. The stage is subject to fortunate influences.
 HEART AND HOME
 The seers point out that after the first world war books, plays and the press emphasized the power of ma terial achievements. Now astrologers stress the fact that the Aquarian age brings the aspiration of justice, righteousness, wisdom.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 According to certain signs the urge toward speculation will be strong and will be preceded by many evidences of the rule of the goddess of chance. The quest for easy money will be keen and it's results dis appointing.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Great increase in perils to human life in cities is indicated by the stars. Methods of protection from accidents will be of great national concern. As airplanes multiply, special care will be necessary to safe guard persons and property on the ground.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Royalty will be outmoded as people learn to rule themselves. The stars seem to forbid the restoration of any monarch to his throne and to presage the disappearance of the last king or queen by the end of the century.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of perplexities. Much will depend upon careful de- cisions, especially if marriage is involved.
 Children born on this day pro- bably will be superior to the aver age. They will have brains and tal- ent of a high order.

KING CAROL COOLS

King Carol of Rumania no longer plays bridge in Mexico City, now cools his heels in Rio de Janeiro, the pawn in the queerest interna- tional tug-ofwa
 The Russians, believe it or not, want him back in Rumania. The British and Americans don't.
 Despite Carols one time link with the Iron Guard in Fascist Rumania, the Soviets apparently think he will play their game. Just as he was about to leave Rio, however, the British bounced on the Portuguese Government and got them to withdraw Carols visa. Without a Portuguese visa, he can't get back to Europe.
 Tip off on the nature of Ru- manian Governm mt Carols fascist former Prime Minister, George Tatarescu, who was on the Rumanian war criminals list, is now Foreign Minister with Soviet blessing.
 Tip-off on the close relations be- tween King Carol and Moscow Cigarettes containing pictures of Carol have been distributed to Ru- manian prisoners in Russia with the help of Russian officials.

his planes on the ground at Manila was even more serious than at Pearl Harbor, since he had had advance warning, and since he lost even more planes than at Pearl Harbor
 However, in difference to the three rebellious Senators and fol- lowing his principle of counting committee unity, he yielded. The criticism of MacArthur was taken out.
 tNote-The Pearl Harbor report now shows that Gen. Marshall telephoned Manila on the morning of Dec T, to beware of Jap at tack, though he only warned Pearl Harbor by slow commercial cable. In other words, all the fears of the General Staff were that Manila would be bombed first. Thus, Mac Arthur had two warnings, Gen. Marshalls and when the Japs hit Pearl Harbor ahead of the Philip pines.

that USES come pack to the states. This means 10000 lush jobs under state control, plus 1,500 employ ment offices. It also means lot of patronage and influence for the state poodle boys.
 What the poodle boys don't realize, however, is hat employ ment problems don't stop at state lines. They are national. And very soon this country will be facing severe nation wide unemployment. The U. s. Employment Service, for instance, has been working closely with the Veterans Administration in getting jobs for veterans. But if USES goes back to state control, that cooperation will be difficult
