NO PARALLEL

After reading of strikes in various
lines of industry over the most tri-
vial causes, while millions of our
boys who depend upon production at
home are battling for their lives, one
lacks words to express condemnation
of such practices. And then when one
hears the leaders of men who strike,
describe them as soldiers in the
srmy of production" one becomes
{, most nauseated. With all due re-
spect to the workers on the home
front, there is not the slightest basis
for comparing them with the sol
diers.
To begin with, the worker on the
home front enjoys short hours, high
pay and is his own boss. If he works
a minute overtime, he gets time and
a half or double pay. If he wants to
quit and go fishing, he stays away
from work. If any little thing bothers
him, he quits. If one of his labor
bosses can't get what he wants soon
enough from duly constituted au-
tkerities for settling grievances,
hundred workers, thousand work
ers, ten thousand workers or fifty
thousand workers walk off the job,
regardless of the needs of the armed
forces. During all this time, the
worker lives at home with his family.
Compare this to the life OF a SOL
der. His base pay is $50 a month,
his hours are anything that occasion
demands. His work week is as many
days as it takes to do the job. He
doesn't lay off to go fishing. He does
not quit his company if his officers
happen to ruff1e him. He doesn't
strike. He doesn't live at home with
his family. But month after month,
and year after year, he lives in sur
roundings which no home front
worker would voluntarily accept for
a moment. On top of this, his life is
constantly at stake.
If a soldier disobeys orders, he is
subject to court martial, with i'm
prisonment or execution-the verdict
depends upon the offense. The home
front worker, when he disobeys or
ders, suffers no penalty, and when
he strikes is in most cases actually
rewarded by higher wages or some
other device to induce him to return
to work.
The least one can say is that the
term soldiers in the army of pro-
duction" is misnomer that any
honest workman should shy away
fir, IN, because his activity bears not
the slightest resemblance to the ac-
tiyity of a soldier,

zone, or, in tke case of rural com
munities, from beyond the normal

said application must be made for
permission to hold other types of
church meetings.
Meetings of auxiliary groups such

groups, and missionary societies held

tive conference require separate APP
rlications for a permit. Meetings OF

larry bodies. The policy of the COM
mittee is to deny such permits.

blies following the normal vacation
pattern do not require permit. But

at the rate experienced in the last
two decades there may be about 500,-

orators in the first ten years after

is facing brand new new deal"
There are new land oppo, tunities
for approximately 5000 new
farms that will be created over sew
