BOSTON PRELATE ASKS
HIRING OF WOUNDED

Boston QLNS). - Employers can
become ''true craftsmen" in helping
to mold the "broken lives" of MEM
bers of the armed forces wounded in
action, Archbishop Richard j. Cush-
ing told the Boston Chamber of Com
merce.
The head of the Catholic Arch
diocese of Boston, said it would be
"the most natural temptation" to turn
away MANNED men, but he asked the
members to remember that handi-
cap may often be the incentive that
will drive them on to even greater
accomplishment than they might
otherwise have achieved"
The archbishop said that the his
torian Francis Parkman could write
only 6 lines day, because of an eye
affliction, that Charles Darwin wrote
the "Origin of Species" during 40
years of ill health and that Robert
Louis Stevenson, ''dogged by tuber-
culosis, could have become. sour
cynic throwing his pen away in futile
disgust"

NONSENSE ON MANPOWER

A MEXICAN Federationst remarks that much
nonsense is being spoken by persons in high
places on the subject of manpoWer 1t says there
is manpower squeeze in war plants here ano
there about the country but that it's not anywhere
near the colossal proportions intimated by the
advocates of compulsory service legislation.
The total manpower shortage in all plants that
are behind in war work because of lack of suffi-
cient manpower was only 10000 workers Dec
80, the War Manpower Commission found.
"Organzed labor, on voluntary basis" the
Federationst says, "is taking effective action to
supply these modest needs-has supplied many
thousands of workers in the last few weeks"
The AFL Magazine adds:
"A large war plant asked the WNC for 1900
workers recently Oh, the need was urgent; so
urgent. Eleven days later the plant laid off 500.
Labor knows of cases, too, where plants have
asked for trainees in certain occupations when
tsey were dismissng skilled men in the same
Are such greedy efforts to replace
high-paid workers with low-paid workers repre-
sentative of genuine manpoWer needs? And how
about the midwestern arsenal that advertised for
workers and found 1000 at its gates though it
needed and hired only 50?
"Such facts these, cited by Labor's Monthly
Survey, make it clear that many so-called man.
power needs are overestimated and many seeming
shortages greatly exaggerated"

SAME BOLOGNA PATRIOTISM

WE THOUGHT we cout detect the odor OF stale
W bologna in the sudden activity of certain anti
Union Congressmen in behalf of immediate ano
drastic action to draft working people for wal
plants We have been expecting the old "48-houi
week" scheme to pop up-and it has. 1t may even
fool some folks, who are unacquanted with It's Ole
familiar aroma.
What does the "48-hour week" measure mean
Just this, that until such time Congress, in It's
infinite wisdom shall declare a state OF blissfu
peace to exist upon this earth, the 10-hour stand
ard working week shall be set aside and working
people will be required TO work 48 hours week
without overtime for the sixth day.
Let's spell it out SO that no one can possibly
miss the point. Suppose you are on 10-hour Job
at scale of 81 an hour That's $40 for the first
40 hours But this being wartime and there be-
ing a need for overtime work. you are on the job,
turning out the things the government needs for
war; 48 hours week. Well, you get $40 for the
first 40 hours, plus time and one half, an extra
$l2 for the sixth day, making your weekly wage
$52. That's easy, isn't it?
But let's suppose the slick congressional pro-
posal to abolish the 40-hour week goes into effect.
What happens to YOU and your paycheck? Just
this: you will work AZ hours week for 81 an
hour. Your weekly wage will be $4S You will
get cut in wages of exactly $4 week.
How does all this help the war effort? 1t does
MT. 1t will not produce another hour of labor or
another pound of production. But, it cuts wages
and that's what the bologna patriots want.
Our guess is that the aroma will be too strong
even for the most toughened of congressman.

NATIONS HEALTH A DISGRACE

DISGRACEFUL. health conditions in this cOun
II try are exposed by a subcommittee OF the
Senate Committee on Education and Labor In 9
report to Congress. Signed by Senators Claude
Pepper, Ebert ID. Thomas and Robert nj. La
Toilette, Jr., the document summarizes what the
committee discovered in a study conducted last
year.
The report declares that, because OF defects
injuries and illnesses which could have been pre-
vented had medical care been available to all the
people the nation has suffered heavy losses In
manpower, both for the armed services and Tor
industry.
More than 45O0000 young men "in the prime
of life" were found to be absolutely unfit for mill
tary service and more than 100000 have been
discharged from service because of defects other
than those sustained in battle, the report says
Another 100000 men now in uniform were
rendered fit for service only through medical ana
dental care given after they were inducted.
In all, the committee estimates at least AZ
per cent of men of military age are handicapped
by preventabe defects, or more than twice the
number of men we now have overseas.
In 1913, the committee says, illness caused a
loss of more than 100000, 900 man-days of labor
-forty-seven times the amount of time lost
through strikes and ockouts of all kinds IN that
year.
The committee suggests that health insurance
is one way-perhaps the only effective Way-of
dealing with the health problem.
Full employment and adequate social security
are indispensable to a truly effective health pro-
gram the report says 1--WE should begin plan
ming now for the reconversion period. We have
seen what neglect of opportunities for health and
physical fitness has cost us during the war

ARMY FILM SHOWS NAZI
STRANGLE HOLD ON REICH

Washington, d. c. (ILNS).-A mo-
tion picture that answers questions
on morale inside Germany is now
available for showings at union
meetings, the War Department an
nounces.
The film, entitled A War Depart
ment Report on German Morale, runs
20 minutes and shows that the Na2i
propaganda machine has kept the
majority of German civilians from re-
alizing imminence of defeat, that the
German soldier is a better fighter
than he was three years ago, and
that the Nazi party has a strangie
hold on the German populace. Ger
man newsreels, captured by the
army, form part of the film. Copies
of the film may be obtained by writ

. COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

\ 4 4
President William Green of tht
American Federation of Labor speak
ing:
american labor believes worlC
peace can only be safeguarded under
world organization to establish anC
maintain the peace and it urges that
meanwhile a United Nations council
be set up to pass upon international
problems that cannot be postponed
until the war ends.
"This would eliminate unilateral
decisions and restore confidence
among the peoples of the world in the
integrity and decency of the cause of
the United Nations"
The foregoing is an excerpt from
a radio speech in which Mr.. Green
served notice the AFL will insist that
America stand by the principles of
the Atlantic Charter. In his talk, he
reiterated strongly AFL pronuonce-
ments in favor of peace based on
democratic principles and pointed out
that organized labor is deeply dis
turbed by the apparent modification
of the attitude of the United Nations
toward the Atlantic Charter"
Mr.. Green made it plain that he
had in mind the apparent disposition
among some of the United Nations to
play power politics and plans for
dividing up certain nations notably
Poland, first of the United Nations to
fall victim to the Nazi fury.
"Power politics and the carving up
of the territory of weak nations by
the big powers do not result in peace
and world security, but inevitably
lead to future wars" he said.
Then Mr.. Green declared, in para
graph that should be given the widest
kind of circulation, and should be i'm
pressed upon all officials having to do
with the making of the peace:
"America's powerful voice must
also be raised now in favor of demo-
cratic solutions of world political
problems. We must insist that the
people of liberated countries in
Europe be given the right to choose
their own leaders in a democratic
way. For it is only through the estab-
lisknent and free exercise of democ-
racy in these nations that lasting
peace can be firmly established
throughout Europe.
Dutch organized labor is setting a
good example of labor of other ma
tions, including the U. S. In the past,
the Netherlands labor movement has
suffered more from the multiplicity |
of rival unions than have the labor
of most countries. But |
now the Dutch labor organizations |
are getting together for united ac-
ton.
