Whut Was Gained?

Let's total up the account on the five day strike at the
ingalls, Shipyard, and see just how the debts and credits
balance.
First for the debts;
200 1000 man hours of work lost. Hours that no one has
the power to replace, hours that would have gone into the
production of ships vital to the war effort. 100000 man hours
may seem a drop in the bucket. but they could make the
difference of a second or two in the winning of the war. Many
and many a life can be lost many and many a grievous wound
sustained in that second.
100000 or more in payroll earnings lost to workers.
Money that would have gone into the purchase of war bonds
and stamps, to add to the future security of families, into the
normal channels of commerce. Money that can never be
re-earned.
No purpose was served, nothing gained by the strike.
Now for the credit side:
II totals. to our mind, a complete 90
The strike was called in the face of a hearing by the
War Labor Board here on March Is, at which grievances
involved in the recent strike vote at the plant were to be
scrutinized. That hearing was only two weeks off when the
strike was called. Surely no charge of delay by the WLB
We want the government to take over the plant we
heard. Why? Follow this to its logical conclusion, in the
first place, and what do we have? Government taking over
all business and that, in our book, is the same type Of gov
eminent the Russians now enjoy.
In the second place, for the sake of argument, suppose
the government would have taken over the plant. Would
it not be the same government whose agency, the War La
Dor Board, was in process of considering the Unions griev-
ances, and would not the same War Labor Board have gone
on with its supervision of the dispute if the government had
taken over?
Responsible international union officers condemned the
strike i'm no uncertain terms, and the action of the local union
officials in continuing it in the face of all this cannot be
understood.

Johnny Mansfield
Slightly Injured
In Fall From Auto

Through the Providence that
seemingly watches over children
four-year-old Johnny Mansfield
had the luck to receive only mi
nor scratches in a fall from a
moving auto last Saturday.
The accident happened when
Johnny with his parents, Mr.. and
Mira Walter Mansfield, and their
other children were en- route 10
Mobile.
The children. who were all on
the back seat. were unable to tell
what caused the door to fly open,
spilling johnny on the hard-sur-
faced highway.
That the boy was so well wrap
ped up that he was protected
from injury is the only explana-
ton afforded for his escape from
more serious injuries.
