Back in this beautiful country
where houses have roofs, furnaces
have coal and larders have food In
them, and cigarettes are thrown
away haf-smoked, I find 1t hard to
realize that what / saw in wracked
and aching Europe is other than an
ugly nightmare.
For that reason / am less stunned
by the American attitude which Dor
ders on indifference as to what
happens across the Atlantic. Less
stunned, yes. Not less alarmed.
When you walk among the ruins it
never occurs to you that Ameri-
cans who are the most generous,
the most sentimental and kindly
people In the world, who will empty
their pockets for famine-stricken,
fiood-drenched, fire-swept folk from
Murmansk to Cape Horn, are not
willing and anxious to help rebuild
what others have torn down. Last
winter people died of exposure IN
side their own homes in the city OF
Paris. This winter will be worse for
vast sections of many European
countries. Trees have been cut down
and burned for fuel, clothing has
been worn out, bedding has been
refashioned into crude garments,
the Tapping sheets of canvas which
patched bombholes in the roof have
been shredded by the wind and
sleet.
But all that is far away. Far
away from me and ! find that when
I lean back and look up from my
keyboard at the tip of the WASH
ington monument, hazy as it is in
the distance, it appears real, iv-
ing and adjacent thing, compared
to the scenes of which I was part
such a short time ago. The things
! saw with my eyes, the voices I
heard, the emotions I felt seem so
unreal now that they form only a
strange shadow-show in the re-
cesses Of my mind.
How, then, can you and I, going
about our business, reading a few
lines in newspapers and periodi-
Gals, listening to husky voice on
the radio, seeing the quick flash
of events in the newsreels of these
distant folk, realize that we are
still, as we were in the days of
Cain and Abel, our brothers keep
er?

Gripping Strike


ing upwards of 100000 workers took
effect, government officials looked to
widespread closing of many plants
dependent upon the vital material
for peacetime products.
Ordinarily, the big auto manufac-
turers hold only a Today inventory
of sheet steel, while producers OF
washing machines, vacuum cleaners
and similar items build up 80 to 40
day stocks. Anticipating walkout,
however, many companies ordered
heavily in preceding weeks, though
the government restricted permissi-
BILE inventories Of sheet steel to As
days and other steel to go days.
In evaluating the situation, gov
eminent officials declared that the
volume of production would be part
" influenced by the amount OF ma
terial manufacturers may decide to
draw on from stocks. Though many
of the bigger companies in the auto
and appliance industries have been
struck, smaller plants and parts
suppliers have been free to work.
Resembling all priorities after the
Go United Steel Workers left their
jobs, the government directed ware
houses to channel stocks to utility,
fire, police, hospital, railroad, food
processing and other outlets serv-
ing the public needs.
Plant Seizures
In taking over struck packing
plants, the government declared that
meat was vital product, neces-
sary for the maintenance of Amer
lean strength in securing the peace
during the continuing postwar emer-
gency, differentiating it from goods
of civilian nature.
Though ALL members agreed to
return to their jobs, the CLIO pack
inghouse workers rebelled at going
back in u. S. controlled plants un-
der old pay rates. By taking over
the plants and re-establishing old
conditions, they said, the govern
ment had robbed them of their one
weapon for enforcing higher wage
demands.
While the government took over
the plants of Swift, Armour, Cudahy,
Wilson, Morrel and others, with COM
pany officials conducting the bust
ness under U. S. supervision, fed
eral conciliators maintained efforts
to bring the disputants together on
the wage issue. Increased price
ceilings were proposed to Offset
higher pay advances.

Despite the general congressional

situation, especially in an election
year, southern solons led by Repre-
sentatives Smith (Dem., Va.) and
Cox Dem, GAY have prodded eau
tious legislators toward considera-
ton of anti-strike measures.
Hitting congressional timidity for
taking the teeth out Of the Presi-
dents proposed fact-finding legisla-
ton, Smith declared his intentions to
restore the right of federal officials
to look into disputants' books in
studying issues and establish a 30
day anti-strike period.
In addition, Smith Joined with
other congressman in calling for
legislation which would make unions
as well as companies equally re-
sponsible for observing contracts,
and went even further in demand
ing the prohibition of sympathy
strikes and the organization of SUI

ployees.

 A suggestion was made from the floor, by Gordon Gray, that the City of Douglas should not main- tain a High School. both because the City would save money by nos maintaining it and because high CT standard of education would be obtained if students were allowed to attend the Juneau High School.
