IT'S a
Greet System!
HY JOHN PAINE. Federated Press

Maybe the reason the nations lead
ers seem to be rushing Us into anoth-
er war is that they hope labor will
adopt no-strike pledge again.
Or maybe they want no-strik
pledge for the duration Of the war
on the labor movement
Canadians have good right to con-
gratulate themselves.
It's wonderful thing to live under
the Anglo-Saxon tradition Of law, no
search without a warrant, habeas cor
pus, and all that stuff.
Famous last words: Honest to god,
officer. | didn't know that atom was
loaded"
Demands for Company security
clauses delayed settlement Of some Of
the major strikes.
What does management want--a
union squad to stand guard over their
war profits?
Fate is good to the yellow press.
That "spy" scare came along just
as they were running out Of foul
names to hurl at strikers"

mittee subcommittee to draft sub
stitute for the Case strike-control bill,

clared it would bring back slavery
and the labor injunction and revive
the "hateful blacklist"
Death Of the Case bill in the Senate
Labor Committee, unless there should
be a radical change Of mind on the
part Of the committees members,
came when Chairman Thomas f.. Muir
ray Of Montana announced that it
was the opinion Of the committee
that no drastic" labor legislation
should be enacted now.
Liberal Group Named

stitute measure. Other members in

It simply isn't true, says the Army,
in answer to the charge OF a few
soldiers that they don't wear their
oyercoats because they fit like so
many horse blankets.
To prove its countercharge. the
Army took a reporter through the
clothing alteration and repair shops
at Fort Myer. There, dozen seam
stresses we're busy altering over
coats and uniforms.
It all started Christmas Day when
a reporter, struck by the sight OF
shivering soldiers hurrying along
with their hands in their pockets
and minus overcoats, asked why they
didn't wear them.
Remark Wounds Army.
One objected to the Army tailor
ing Job. but most of them said they
lust didn't want to be bothered with
an overcoat.
The one who said he didn't like
the tailoring job, said his coat fit as
if it had been designed by Omar, the
Tentmaker. That seemed to be the
remark that wounded the Army's S
feelings. That's why a reporter and
photographer were invited to visit
the Fort Myer tailoring shop.
