able in emergency housing In
crowded war centers.
The migration of war workers
from city to city, where their skins
were needed more urgently, meant
inconvenience and increased ex-
pense to many thousands of men
and women.
While it is not generally real
lied, nd-the-clock operations
and night-shift work deprived many
war workers of the community
facilities ordinarily available. 1t
became difficult and frequently i'm
possible for retail stores, laundries
banks and other institutions to re-
main open at hours convenient to
all shifts.
This frequently led. particularly
in the case Of woman workers, to
necessary absences from work and
consequently the loss of pay so that
food, clothing and other services
could be obtained.
The record of purchases of War
Bonds by industrial workers, and
especially those in organized labor
was outstanding. I am informed by
the Treasury Department that Or
ganized labor's share Of the payroll
savings program was approximately
IS per cent of the total amount for
seven drives of So, ,933, ,208 900.
Casualty List Lengthy,
This was in addition to War Bonds
sold through various selling cam
paigns conducted by many unions
during drive periods and through
which many millions of dollars in
bonds were sold. 1t also is in ad-
dition to huge investments amount
ing to many millions from the in
ternational and local unions.
The payroll savings plan was the
backbone of the war financing pro-
gram. Because of the permanent
structure of organized labor unions,
War Bond committees were able to
take advantage of the selling in
fuence Of shop stewards and local
union officers. This activity con-
tributed in large measure to the
success of the payroll savings plan.
While labor was giving of its best
under far less than ideal working
conditions, the list of casualties in
industrial plants grew at rate
comparable to those in the armed
services. The statistics of on-the-
job accidents in America from Pearl
Harbor to July /, 1945, represent a
startling sacrifice on the part OF
our workers in war production.
The best estimates to date indi-
cate that $4,000 workers died as a
result of accidents while at work

The first 80 days of that CAM

While it is true that this country
achieved considerable success in re-
stricting the average increases in
the cost of living, many thousands
of workers suffered from increased

1t takes quite an army of players
to speak Sherwood's piece on peace,
A great many of them, also, have
Ia lot of words to utter before they
are through with the two acts into
which the play has been compressed.
In a lesser playwright's case, such
a volume of sound would add up to
mere verbosity and its inevitably at
tendant boredom.
That was not the result last night
at the National. Even when the
play seemed to be dwelling over
long on its points of intolerance, of
isolationism and the other human
frailties which give Sherwood the
furies, there were retrieving virtues.
What the performers were saying
was important and eloquent. Each
word contributed to the etching OF
a character, which SO many words
in so many plays not written by
Sherwood fail to do. Each con-
tributed to making you feel pre-
cisely as the author did for his
characters, deep affection or ad-
miration, or as desperate a fury.
But all the talk with its bitter
ironic humor, its chagrin, its hope
and its poignance, could not create
the feeling that the Is scenes oi
the play had the old Sherwood CO.

THE CAST:

most dramatic offerings that an in
ferior Sherwood play is better than
the best work of other authors and
the additionally brilliant one of a
splendid performance by Tracy.
And by several others of the cast,
which Capt. Carson Kanin directed.
In his fear that civilization is
forgetting tragically fast what 1t
went through in the last six years,
Sherwood'S THE Rugged Path" re-
minds its audiences that too many
humans died to make such an attl-
tude tolerable. His reminder takes
the form of the case history OF a
liberal editor portrayed by Tracy.
Morey Vinion is his name. He is a
brilliant and bewildered man. AS an
editor with years of war correspond
ing behind him, he feels passionate
impulse to inf1ame his readers with
his hatred of what he saw in Europe.
Two factors Illustrate him. One is
weak publisher, who inherited q
powerful, fighting journal which has
disintegrated into a mere servlle
success. The other is venal busi-
ness manager, Fascist-isolationist
type who regards freedom OF the
press as commodity to be sold to
| the most powerful advertisers. The
editor battles them throughout the
first act, a battle protracted well
beyond a reasonable point in prov
/ ing Sherwood's savage contempt fol
the types.
It is in the editors loss of the
battle-and the incidental finding
of himself-that 1.-THE Rugged
Path" asks audiences to accept the
difficult premise that the brilliant
mans reprisal was to enlist in the
Navy as an apprentice seaman. II
did happen that sensitive men in
their desperate establishment act
ed in this fashion. The pity they
aroused in doing so is entirely for
them, however, and not for the spe-
cies which drives them to do it. In
the eyes of those responsible for
such a gesture, the whole thing
seems little foolish and slightly
incredible. This no doubt, was not
the effect for which Sherwood was
striving, but not all of Tracy's con-
sumate brilliance and deep feeling
| for the character can prevent that
effect. 1t is not to the advantage
of THE Rugged Path" as the kick
