Whdt Makes Labor Trouble
No. 5.

"85oo Workers Out at Important War Plant' = "5Ooo Employees Strike at Midwest War Plant" "2500 Out at So and So Inc"
 These are some of the familiar headlines facing the American people almost daily from the of the daily newspaper heard the familiar remark Those guys ought to be in the foxholes Don't those people know there's war going on?" Damn the Labor Unions anyway
 You have made remarks like that yoursef-you have heard remarks like tha-remarks like that only show g noranc of the of the How times have blazing editorials condemned management for the troube many of that type of remark is pointed at manage How many people have stopped to consider THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY?" WHY IS IT THAT LA BOR IS ALWAYS BLAMED?
 anayze attempt to analyze in this limited space the why and the wherefore of labor troubles.
 First of all it takes two to start an argumen-f in the first place neither respect trust the ohe then neither can will HONESTLY try to sympathze with the argument of the other DISRESPECT DISTRUST and SUS- PIGEON between LABOR and MANAGEMENT in the first place is the underlying evil that makes STRIKES AND LA BOR TROUBLE The fact that they do not understand or EVEN WANT TO UNDERSTAND each other is bound to reach the stage where the patience of the other hausted- d-RESULT-STRIKE-an with the strike, mat who wins loses hatred and all of the things that make up hatred BUT THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE STRIKE DOES NOT BELONG TO JUST ONE OF THE PAR TIES is shared in the minds of all fairinded people by MANAGEMENT as well Labor - and too many times strikes by the subbornness of the management involved and their lack of knowledge and understanding of their employees and the problems of their employees

 BUT UNFORTUNATELY all companies are not that Way-there still in this land of homogeneous that hate and all that stands fohere are still manage ents who are backward and reactonary still believe that LABOR CAN AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE EXPLOITED. They accept the newund strength that Labor has found in STRONG ORGANIZATIONS. They DO NOT BE- IIEVE IN BARGAINING with the common people, These are the kind homogeneous that FORCE their employees to STRIKE-that force their employees to PROVE TO THEM THAT THEY ARE IMPORTANT,t to the progress and welfare of the managementyes to the existence of the company They FORCE their employees to use force Instead of reasoning because of ENGAGEMENTS REFUS- AL TO BARGAIN Many countless thousands of man-hours lost due to strikes could have been saved that type of Apement were non-existenf that type of management could be taken in hand and taught that the EMPLOYEE s as good as the EMPLOYER and IS as necessary to him and to his production his investment or his machinery That type of management MUST BE TAUGHT to respect 1s employees and their working condons-even they have to be taught THE HARD WAY.
