ANOTHER CASUALTY LIST

THE 5-year death toll was 485,000 American
lives. From December 7, l941 to June !, 1919
it was 335, ,000 while the total for injured was
81 900 900 The first figure compared with 376,OOO
killed in the approximately 5-years duration OF the
two world wars.
The 485, 900 were not killed by war, nor were
the "a 100000 injured in conflict. There were the
casualties of carelessness they died or were hurt
by accidents.
The death toll for 1914 alone was the equiv
alent Of the total population of city the size
of Waterbury, Conn. One person is needessly
killed every 5l2 minutes, and there is a prevent
able injury every minutes.
These shocking accident statistics, compiled
by the National Safety Council, do not, however,
shock. If they did, the trend would be reversed
instead of intensifying each year. We have become
so hardened that such statistics are about as
shocking as those for the yearly rainfall in given
area, the wheat yield or the national debt.
Such figures don't mean anything until a
member Of the family or a friend becomes digit
in the ghastly audit. And in the death toll the
figure means nothing to those who comprise it,,
for the dead are past the power of being shocked.
We have often been called wasteful people.
In high places, in the category of waste, is human
life.

ANOTHER PROGRESSIVE STEP

THE United States Department of Labor, under
its new secretary Lewis B. Schwellenbach, is
planning another progressive STEP 1t will soon set
up labor service similar to the farm program OF
the Department of Agricultme-somethng that
Labor organizations have long desired.
Under Schwellenbachs plan, broad courses of
study in labor relations will be established. CON-
petent agents of his department will be assigned
TO major industrial centers to advise both Labor
and Management about Federal Labor laws, col
lective bargaining research and statistical work
and other matters related to the general problem.
Courses in schools, which desire to study Labor
and it's relation to all branches of society, will be
encouraged.
Such a program will go far to neutralize the
undesirable PHILOSOPHERS that have been advanced
in the past by the more vociferous groups which
working people.
The opinion of leaders of Labor throughout
the country will be sought before the whole pro
gram is laid before congress.Thus it is hoped that
broad proceduce for bringing the truth about Lab
or organizations closer toathe public, may be at
tanned Public understanding will go very far to-
ward eliminating some of the difficulties that now
exist
In approaching this proposal, Secretary
Schwellenbach has asked and has received the
wholehearted backing Of educators, Labor leaders
and of representatives of Management who have
a sincere desire TO promote a cooperative spirit.
This plan together with Schwellenbach's program
for revamping the Bureau of Labor Statistics so
that it will accurately report the actual factS
about living COSTS may very well be landmarks OF
future progress in Labor relations.

ROOT OF STRIKES

WE have quoter William Leiserson, economist
" previously in these columns. He has had wide
experience in and out of government. Chairman
of the National Labor Relations Board, now at
tached to Johns Hopkins University staff, he is
regarded with respect. Writing in the Utah Labor
Journal, he advises labor to work for revision of
labor machinery and for the creation of a national
labor policy by labor itself.
81 think organized labor can do great deal,
if it would analyze the underlying causes OF the
present labor revolts, and take the initiative in
formulating practical labor relations policy of it's
own. AS it is, the unions usually wait for the Gov
to initiate labor policies. They do not
offer substitute for the Governments methods
of handling labor disputes They ask rather for up
ward revision of the Little Steel Formula and for
raising the measure of sub-standard wages. This
assumes that fixing wages by government form
uas is all right if only the rates are raised 1t i'm
plies also that discomfort would be removed by a
25 or 20 per cent Little Steel Formula, and 65
)r 75-cent sub-standard rate
But the causes lie deeper than that. The fact
S that we have had compulsory arbitration for a
number of years now, and as result, the primary
purpose for which working people organize, name
", collective bargaining, has been to a large ex-
tent destroyed. In its place compulsory arbtra-
ion was substituted"

U. S. LABOR TO LOSE IF EUPOPE sTARvEs

IN THE forefront of Congressional business these
days is the question of support for the United
Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration.
The bill to appropriate the S55000O,0 900 authorized
earlier this year has been brutally batted around
for the past few weeks No gentler treatment is
likely to await the new bill now coming up for the
1916 U. S. appropriation of UNRRA for 81, $780,
100000.
It is essential that these sums be appropr-
ated. For without them, UNRRA cannot go on.
And without UNRRA American labor stands to
lose. In Importance, UNRRA along with the
United Nations Organization ranks in the field
of foreign affairs with the issues of labor stand
ards and reconversion here at home. Here and
abroad the problems require immediate solution,
though the effects will be long range for the
world, and for labor in particular.
Europe must recover from 5 years of war,
China from years, on top OF enemy oppression
The ravages of those years will take decades to
repair. More, they will require the assistance and
nations fortunate enough not to have suffered in
vasion.
Observer after observer returning from Eu-
rope and the Far East report the same desperate
situation. The coming winter and the months i'm
afterward loom the grimmeSt the
people in countries there have ever known.

THERE'S GLORY ENOUGH FOR ALL

THE educated pencils and typewriters of leading
editorialists are turning out volumes of
phrases in praise of this or that branch of the
armed services for their" victorious ending of
World War III. For one, it's the atomic bomb,
others the Air Force, the Navy, while many place
the foot-slogging Fl's on the top of the heap.
Being sedate union publication, the privi-
lege is claimed to put in our two-bts as a segment
of the press-and here it is:
union" won the war!
Every branch of service of the Allies in
this greatest of all armed conflicts, from the bras
sest of brass hats to the lowliest of r. P.s, from
the gallant Marines to the merciful Red Cross
should share equally in what
praise is to be bestowed. Without union of effort
and interest our best efforts would have been a
flop.
All of 'em-every man and woman--engaged
in whatever duty was assigned them are Justly
entitled to equal praise and appreciation. Without
the Joint effort no particular section of the forces
could have even got into action. Each was depen-
dent upon the others. AS united organization vic
tory was assured. And don't forget the more than
10000 members of the international Topographic
cal Union who valiantly did their part in the arm
ed service Nor the millions of union men and wo-
men who toiled in war ndustries.-Typographi

STRIKES

WHERE business has acted sensby, there are no
" strikes. Several big corporations have volun-
tarily made wage adjustments, and adapted them
selves wisely to reconversion conditions They are
enjoying continued good relations with their work
ing force. Where business has adopted the out
worn "fight-t-out' philosophy, trouble continues
to darken the horizon.

Everybody in Hollywood likes to
be "in the know" Most aren't, but
think they are. The few who really
know the secrets and scandals and
what's going on generally behind
the scenes of movieland are the
switchboard operators in the tele-
phone rooms of the major studios.
They know, but they don't tell.
They're sworn to secrecy.
Comes a call from New York for
Terrence Tycoon, the big studio
head. A top-selling novel, being
fought for by several other lots, can
be bought for certain sum. The
telephone operator hears. If she
were a traitor she might pick up a
tidy bonus by tipping off the con-
versation to some other film chief
tain.
A leading feminine star can't
think of starting her days work
without consulting Spiritualistic
medium via long distance to New
York The resultant conversation is
pretty silly. You'd like to hear and
so would the fan magazines. The
switchboard operator remains mum.
A glamour star, about to leave the
set for hospital, puts in an emer-
gency call for her husband in New
York The latter had left word with
his hotel switchboard that he was
mapping and was not to be dis
turbed. The actress, about to have
baby, wept Historically but even
her big name made no impression

Diplomacy in Order.
Intimacies such as these scar the

locked tightly in the earphones of
the studio operators.

two main requisites of an operator

Nettie says she has been offered

she's having a fashion wardrobe

It's typical of Marguerite's pleas

year Cregar was in the hospital,
but he didn't forget. He sent the
girls lovely gifts and called them
from the hospital promising that
he would be with them come next
year no matter what happened. He
died in the hospital a few weeks
later.

why is it," asked Nettie, people
think that operators know every
thing? A man called about three
months ago and started with, Lady

tered a cross word puzzle contest
and I just can't figure out the
meaning of one of the words He
gave me the definition of the
phrase called for. BY coincidence

referred TO and I was able to sup
ply him with the missing word"
About month later Nettie re-
ceived a box of roses and a huge
bottle of expensive perfume from
the gent she'd helped work the
puZzle-he'd won the contest!
| One of Nettie's favorite stories
concerns a mailboy on the 10th
Fox lot. The youngster, obviously
trying to impress his girl friends,
told them he was a producer at the
studio. He called Nettie and asked
her please not to betray his secret.

gag?" she laughingly asked. Il
played along with the joke until

Brunei, pixielike Nettie and her
eight assistants receive more than
5000 calls a day. A sign hanging
above the door Of their sunlit quar-
ters, atop a modern three-story
building, reads: Through our
switchboard pass the funniest ex-
periences in Hollywood"
Nettie's main task is seeing that
the right calls get to the right
people, and it's tough job.
1nnumerable calls come in every
day from grade school boys and
girls who want to speak to movie
stars. Young voices come over the
wire: This is Gene Tierney's in
surance man: her policy is expiring
and I have to talk to her; I'm
June Haver's sister and I'd like to
reach her on the set" or Il worked
with Vincent Price in 'DragonWyck
and I have something personal to

the children's parents would heart
ily2disapprove of unnecessarily US
ing the phone during wartime, or
fabricating stories to get through
to their favorites, tactfully handles
this by saying, IF you'll give me
your number I'll have Miss or Mr..

they hang up and don't call back.
They're Usually Right.
The girls aren't clairvoyant, but
their ears develop a sixth sense

to use discretion concerning the
persons to whom a player will talk,
