While thousands of point eligible

NEW YORK-Objection TO the

Affairs in a letter sent today by
DR., Max Yergan 10 Mr.. Stettinius,

OTHER REASONS upon which

That will take wisdom and patience
and those two commodities will not
always be lying around handy.
But somehow we shall have to wrig-
gle through the terrific readjustment
the biggest readjustment in history.
If we don't come through we can sure
ly do one whale Of big bust, which
could be something like Rockefeller
Center falling down into a heap of
rubble.
Let's all try to get to know as much
as possible about conscious, purpose
full development Of practices, policies
and principles as we can learn. Let's
not make shambles Of our readjust-
ment period if we can help it.
If we've got brains enough to win
a great war of violence, we ought to
have brains enough to win peaceful
war of industrial readjustment for the
common good.
And the common good is the only
thing worth planning for and thinking
about.-CMW.

Remember, we have moved pretty
fast, out of past in which bosses and
workers literally shot it out with guns.
Think back a little. 1t isn't long, as
history measures, since the Homestead
steel strike in 1892. Not long since the
tragic Triangle fire in New York. Not
long since the great Pullman strike
1894. Nor since the blowing up of the
Los Angeles Times building. Not long
since Andy Furuseth's seamen's strike,
nor since the Calumet copper strike
1912. Not long since the strike of a
half million textile workers-only back
in 1884. And not long before Franklin
Roosevelt took office as president,
mine workers were being shot in West
Virginia for daring to join the Mine
Workers Union.
The background Of violent strife is
not far back of us. All in all, we have
moved with fair speed out of the jun
gle type of labor relations. Maybe be-
cause we had to. But, we must move
with even greater speed, if we are GO
ing to keep an even keel through de-
mobilization, cessation Of war work
and return to peace-time production.
There are too many people today
who can think Of nothing more intelli-
gent than making faces or indulging
in yabble yabble of name calling.
Unions today are as much real
part of American life as corporations.
Neither one can be wished out of
the picture. If the one is accepted as
a real part of our life, to be accepted
and dealt with-and at times restrain
ed for the common good, it must 60

THE
CHERRY TREE
Where with eur Little Hatchet We tell
the truth about many things. sometimes
profoundly, sometimes Aippantly. some
times rscklessly.

Looking ahead through the next
year or two, or perhaps three, it is
clear that cool heads and good reason
ing will be needed by employers and
workers alike, if we are to come
through the period of readjustment
without too many blow-ups.
Both sides do foolish things at
times-get chips on their shoulders,
make too much of little things, start
calling names and yell, "the hell you
say!"
Nobody expects every bit of trouble
to be ironed out by negotiations, which
means talking it through.
But for the best interests of all,
there needs to be as much settle
ment by talking things out as it is
possible to get.
Fred Vinson has recently said that
we-meaning the people as whole
have got to learn to live twice as well
as before the war. Clearly, that means
averages. But, even on an average
basis, that is going to take lot of
learning.
It won't be done well by tearing
things apart. It won't be done easily,
even with the wisest of heads at work
and the utmost of patience.

YOUR POSTWAR JOB
By Boris Shishkin
AFL Economist
Phones AZ and 16O

What are the employment prospects
after the war? Here is another report
in the nationwide survey conducted
by the American Federation of Labor
on postwar job opportunities.
Textile and clothing industries pro-
vide one Of the biggest sources OF en-
ployment in the United States. They
employ more than two million work
ers. Most of them belong to American
Federation of Labor unions.
Lloyd Klenert, secretary of the
United Textile Workers Of America,
reports that full employment now pre-
walls in the textile industry.
1t will take from two to three years
after the war to make up the deficit in
textiles. This means full employment
for at least that long. Better wages
and decent incomes will help support
the lasting growth of the textile in
dustry after the war. There is plenty
of room for expansion.
David Dubinsky, president of the
International Ladies Garment Work
ers Union, reports that at present
there is some unemployment and ex-
tensive part-time work in that trade.
This is due to shortage in materials,
especially cotton goods. The demand
for women's apparel is far greater
than the industry can supply. AS soon
as textile fabrics are once more in
good supply, everyone will again be
busy. In fact, after the war, the civil
liam apparel industry is likely to pro-
vide more jobs than it does today. The
union, which was instrumental in de-
veloping the famous program of CO.
operation with employers, is now work
ing on its number one postwar pro-
gram: to make sure not only that the
American woman is the best-dressed Of
all, but also that America becomes the
postwar fashion center of the world.
Joseph McCurdy, president of the
United Garment Workers, reports full
employment in the manufacture of
work clothing, and mems clothing.
Here, too, severe shortages of denim,
duck and other fabrics have cut deep
ly into production. Especially serious
is the resulting shortage Of overalls
and other work clothes badly needed in
war plants and on the farms. Full en-
ployment in this and all other branches
of the apparel industry depends on the
maintenance of high wages and ample
buying power among all workers af-
ter the war.
Next week I will report on the job
outlook in the aircraft industry: Amer
ica's wartime problem-child.
