pilOted LIST Marine Air Wing me-
dunn bomber which destroyed a Jap
PIT boat and damaged another after
the plane had blown up an ammu-

The PIT boat raid was considered
an important bit of work because
the enemy had been making sui

American shipping and troops on
the Davao Gulf.
The red-headed, 24-year-old lieu
tenant, son of Capt. Taylor Branson,
former Marine Band leader, told a

bomber first blew up the ammuni-
ton dump and then spotted the PIT
boats.

with overhanging branches, lying
one behind the other in a narrow
stream near the coast" he said.
I'VE made rocket dive on the boats,

a TO NORMALCY"

Chairman J. A. Krug of the War Production Board told us several
days ago that manpoWer requirements for "a production will drop
by :, 800 600 during the next six months. The drop during June, July
and August will be 100000 and of this number, we are told, 10000
1900 900.
This is Just the beginning of back to normally" After the war
ends, and the backlog of peace time needs ire quickly filled, the real
problem of unemployment will confront us, and on a larger scale
then that during the IL years preceding Pearl Harbor.
This is inevitable under the profit system, whether it is called
capitalism. free enterprise, or by any other name,
The talk about full employnent-about $1,000, 900 post war jobs
IS Just wihful thinking; and no matter how thin you slice it, it's just
the same old baloney.
A slogan of one If the big oil companies is: SEVENTY five years OF
progress since Pearl Harbor" In every major industry production per
man per day has increased. by as much as 100 per cent in some cases
under the stimulation of the demand for a goods.
Will improved machinery and methods of production be scrapped
when the wr ends? Hardly Capitalists seek ever cheaper production
costs Gncuding cheap labor, for the same reason they seek control
of markets and prices: it increases their profits.
All that workers ar likely to reap because of the progress since
Pearl Harbor is more certainly of unemployment, on a larger scale
and in less time than it took to bring O this curse of capitalism after
World War l
The only way-the ONLY way-that the producing millions of
workers can permanently benefit through improved machinery of pro-
auction is by ownership of the machinery Not individual ownership,
Of course, because that is impossible; but by collective, " government
ownership, which is sane and practical.
Owners always benefit by improved machinery, and when workers
themselves become part owners of the machinery of production which
they build and operate, they too will benefit in every way.
That's Socialism, of course, but how do you like it?
Would you rather face the grim prospect of unemployment and
uiggardEy relief because rapid progress" has been made in production
methods since Pearl Harbor?

new CHIEF FOR LABOR DEPARTMENT
Billy" Wilson Was Greatest of Secretaries; Frances
Perkins Fine Record: Schweilenbach Is Dependable

It's 80 years since Congress, in the closing day of the Taft admin
istration, passed a bill creating the Department Of Labor, 1t was proper
interests had been looked after by some bureau stuck away in some
department, with a chief who, frequently. was not particularly inter
ested in problems which beset American toilers.
William Beauchamp Wilson, who immigrated to this country from
Scotland when he was a lad of 8 guided the legislation through the
House. He represented a Pennsylvania district and was chairman of
the House Committee on Labor Woodrow Wilson made him the first
chief of the department he helped create. It was a happy choice.
Wilson was a union coal miner. He knew all about the philosophy
Union, he had gone through many hard-fought strikes. Somehow he
found time to accumulate a vast amount of knowledge and the ability
to present a case n a most attractive and persuasive way.
So far a we knew, Wilson was the first real trade unonist to sit
in a Presidents Cabinet He organized the lew department and he
skinfully managed the many fearfuly complex and important labor
problems which developed during the first World War
Billy" Wilson still stands out as u greatest Secretary of Labor.
In 1921, after serving eight years. Wilson a succeeded by James
{! Davis, who remained through the Harding, Coolidge and into the
Hoover administration, dropping out when he became a member of the
Senate.
Wilson had perfected He was subjected to much pressure by those
who would have devitalzed the department and made it a resting
place for political hacks, but he refused to yield For that he is en-
titled to great praise.
Following Davis came William n. Doak, a leader in the railroad
labor movement. After a little more than two years under President
Hoover, Doak made way in March, 1898. for Frances Perkins. the first
women to sit in a Presidents Cabinet.
We don't like to recall the mserably unfair attacks which have
been made on this gracious lady. AS a matter of fact, Frances Perkins
record in office has been as good, and in most instances cry much
better, than the records of her Cabinet associates. American workers
will be fortunate if those who come after her do a. well.
After July l, Louis f. schwenenbach will take over the reins. His
RECORD is reassuring, He was a Progressive before he came to the
Senate; he remained a Progressive while he was in Washington. and he
retained that point of view as a Federal judge.
He will be fortunate in having as his first assistant Daniel w
Tracy, former president of the Electrical Workers. Dan" was reared
IN the labor movement Everyone who knows him respects and
trusts him.
So, while we r sorry to see Frances Perkins G, we feel the in
stitution which means SO much to American Workers will be in safe
hands-"Labor', Washington, L. c.
