Turn The Gold Loose

Because there was war on and the time
not appropriate to complain, very little crit
cism was heard of the new pennies which be-
cause they contained too large percentage
of metals baser than copper, turned black
while you watched. There was something about
silver in dimes and nickels which seemed out
of plumb too, but again it was for the most
part forgotten and forgiven as wartime
necessity. Copper and silver attained excep-
tional value in war production.
Now that the war is no longer on. some
thing might be done about coins, especially
pold coins which have been out of circulation
so long and are sorely missed. particularly
as Christmas is coming soon and they make
excellent presents. Furthermore, men used to
enioy the weight of them in their pockets. Nc
arnoung of folding money can take their place
With five twenties you feel Infinitely richer
than with hundred dollar bill.
And S. gold piece in the toe OF Carlstma'
stocking is a proper cause for joy unconfined
It is difficult to understand why the pos
session of gold coins, honestly earned and saw
ed through sacrifice. should be CRIME some
body ought to put gold back into circulation
and do it before the holidays.

Labor Leaders Losing Out

Throuqhout the years that labor was basklng
in "gains" lavishly distributed by the Hoose-
welt administration, some thoughtful people
both in labors ranks and in civilian life, warn
ed that if reasonable curbs were not created
labor would be led by racketeering leaders in
to such difficulties that it's gains" would be
taken away. Naturally, the leaders OF LABOR
scoffed at the warning and continued to 60
from bad to worse, calling or sanctlonlng
strikes that periled the nations war program
and the lives Of the men in foxholes, in the
air and aboard naval craft
Two incidents which indicate that the warn
Ing was not unwise, however unAeeded, have
lust come to light. One is the decision OF the
Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago which
holds that union officials, as individuals, may
be sued for damages resulting from their un'
ion activities The opinion is in the million
dollar suit of the Pullman-Standard Car Manu-
featuring Company against seven officials Of
Local 1928 of the United Steel Workers Of
America CLIO affiliate, and two non-union
defendents A decision written by another
Judge a year ago dismissed both unions and
individuals. This one disnisses the union but
not the union officials.
Inasmuch as union labor leaders are chiefly
concerned with fattening their bank accounts
at the expense Of union memberships, this
ruling may be expected to make them much
more cautious in the future with respect to
strike calls.
The other incident is the Ford Motor Com.
pany request" directed to the United Auto
mobile Workers, another CLIO affiliate, to pay
SIS day for each ensploye who participated
In an unauthorized work stoppage at its plants.
Here it is not merely a question OF paying
for plant damages but paying the employer
for strike on a per capita basis AS reported
from Detroit: 1.-THE suggestion put teeth into
the thirty.one demands made by Ford on the
union at the outset of negotiations and was
designed to provide the company with securi'
ty."
In combination with the Higgins shutdown
at New Orleans, these actions also put teeth
in the warning of years ago, that labor would
do well to safeguard its "gains" by avoiding
disputes and strikes Obviously the time is
approaching when labor leadership, which is
thing apart from the rank and file Of union
membership much Of which is compulsory,
will give up its dictatorial attitude or be
thrown out on its ear.

ment will approach each other with the reali-
cation that they have common goal and
with the determination to compose their diff

YWCA OFFICIAL
ARRIVES TODAY

Miss Belle Ingels, staff member
of the National Board of the Young
Womens Christian Association, will
arrive in Wilmington, N. c. today
to confer with local leaders on cur
rent administration problems OF
the Y. w. c. A. during the period
of reconversion and changing COM
nunity conditions.
To-day, because of the rapid
pace of reconversion, the Y. W. c.
AS over the country have to de.
eide whether to shift the points OF
emphasis in their whole program"
says Miss 1ngels. ''The war period
presented problems to young wo-
men and girls which now have
changed. The Y. w. c. AS are
looking ahead to meet the needs
of the new times. It will mean a
re-definition of community plan
ming in all communities and the
Y. w. C. A. will cooperate with
these changing plans to meet more
adequately the needs of today by
special cooperation with case work
agencies, different kinds of employ
ment services, programs for adult
education and recreation and vo-
cational advice available in the
communities" says Miss Ingels.
Pointing out that in this period
of change and adjustment commun
ity planning to meet human needs
is especially important, Miss Ingels
says that the Y. w. c. A. is partic'
ularly interested in working to
serve the needs of young women
and girls.
"Since the Y. w. c. A. has had q
longtime experience in bringing
together and relating people who
have different resources and diff
ferent problems, we feel that u has
a leading contribution to make in
community planning" says Miss
Ingels. 1.-The Association's exper.
fence in tackling problems direct.
ly with the individual affected, and
also in the field of social action,
where an effort is made to get
at the condition which caused the
problem, makes for a combination
which will prove especially effect
i've in serving the needs of com.
munities" says Miss 1ngels.

Auto Workers Folly

In one way or another the United States has
4 talent for getting in its own way. This was
especially manifested when cotton production
was cut to minimum, which opened the
markets OF the world to Egyptian and Bra
lillian cotton and encouraged greater foreign
planting. When the first Roosevelt admlnlstra-
ton started race suicide for hogs, at time
too when peace was none too secure, the ma
ton stood in its own way again. These ex-
amples stem from governmental shortsighted-
ness There are others equally obvious and
costly originating in the same source.
Now the labor unions on strike in the auto
motive industry are taking step no less cost
ly. By interrupting reconversion OF the indus
try to peacetime production, they are prepar-
ing the way for curtailed output from automo-
bile factories, even when the strikes are over,
by giving Russia chance to go into the
business of manufa curing motor vehicles in a
big way and entering global markets which
the American industry controlled before the
war.
Two auto works, one in Gorky and the other
in Moscow, are organizing for mass produc-
sand units daily, with total OF one million
vehicles year for the entire industry.
This of course, is not to happen over night.
It is conspicuous, however, in the program
drafted for the fourth Five Year Plan which
is getting under way in the Soviet Union. That
they will be reached appears the more prob.
able because Russian workers are not liable
to force factory shutdowns by striking.
AL Of the thousand vehicles scheduled for
daily production naturally would not go into
Americas foreign markets, but there is every
reason to believe that 4 large percentage
would do SO, Whatever the number may be,
they would decrease the demand for American
automobiles. with the consequence that fewer
workers would be required for the reduced
production.
Just as the nation opened the doors Of for
eisn cotton markets by its folly, so the auto.
mobile workers are restricting the foreign sale
Of the units in the manufacture Of which they
have earned a good living, and preparing the
way for long-lived idleness by striking at this
time. They are no less short-sighted than the
administration which made cotton planters
plow under every other row.
