However, after the men all re-
turn to work it may be found that
several good purposes have been
served by these strikes. First, it
will have been made plain how far
these organizations, as presently
led, will go regardless of the ma
tional interest. 1t clearly will have
been shown that in a time of great
national peril they will not hesitate
to cripple the nations defenses. 1t
is difficult to imagine any better
news for the Kremlin than this. 1t
is also difficult to imagine any
more convincing demonstration of
the need to amend existing law so
as to render strikes against the ma
tional security impossible.

economists which show that the
country is headed for hell and
nothing can save us except great,
new spending program. He wants
to renominate Mr.. Stevenson for
President and Franklin Roosevelt,
Jr., for governor of New York. If
he could succeed in electing them
he would, indeed, be in a strong
position. He could, in fact, come
close to running the country. There
are good reasons for feeling that
this is not what the people want.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1954-07-22

Under that sort of firmness the
strike collapsed and the men re-
turned to work. Their grievances
will be investigated and they will
get justice. But they will not get
any blind White House support for
a strike. Since then, so-called "wild
cat" strikes have broken out in
two big atomic plants at Oak Ridge,
Tenn, among A + l. workmen.
Probably these may be settled be-
fore this piece is printed or soen
after. Certainly, they will not be
allowed to continue many days.
The stakes are too vast and the
example of a nation unable to disci-
pline itself in a time of great ma
tional peril too dismaying to per-
nit.

production of these terrible new
weapons are concerned, the mere
thought of such strikes has been
appalling. Yet now they have hap
pened, One involving the clio, and
really serious threat to the ma
tional security, has been settled
largely because President Eisen-
hover made it clear that if con-
tinued the 8O-day injunction under
the Taft-Hartley law would be
asked.

be served is to make it palmer how
vital it is to have in the White
House a President neither allied
with nor dominated by any group
of labor bosses. This President has
no such alliance and is under no
such domination. And he is the only
President in eighteen years of
whom than can be truthfully said.
Contrast the present situation with
that of the Truman Administration
when the labor bosses had the run
of the White House and the Presi-
dent automatically backed them up.
Contrast it with the Truman
seizure of the United States Steel
Company and his statement sup
porting the union and laying all
the blame on the companies. Con-
trast it with his refusal to use the
Taft Hartley Act to protect the
national interests. Instead, he
threw his full weight behind the
strikers and was only checked by
the Supreme Courts decision that
his seizure was unconstitutional.

Strikes Against Security
BY FRANK R. KENT
eoUyright by The Baltimore Sun and ~
printed IN The Republican by permission.

If the American people are not
shocked by the strikes, past and
present, in plants supplying atomic
energy, then they are pretty near
shockproof. For, this is TIE first
time such strikes have occurred.
OF course, there were numerous
indcfensible strikes in defense
plants during the last world war.
They slowed down our war effort
and prolonged the conflict, at con-
siderable cost in men and material.

1t is hoped there will be no repe-
tition of these atomic-plant strikes.
But the safe way is to prohibit
them by law. So long as it is not
crime to indulge in a crippling
strike in a national crisis, there is
no guarantee against such strikes
under the kind of labor leadership
we have now. Take, for example,
Mr.. Walter Reuther, of the CIO.
Mr.. Reuther is a young man who
cares little about the facts. Some
years ago in his strike against the
General Motors, he admitted the
untruthfulness of one Of his public
charges with the laughing excuse
of 81 thought it would put them
over the barrel" Following the end
of the recent Clio atomic-energy
strikes he has given forth with an
other of his familiar blasts against
the Eisenhower Administration.

A GOOD SOURCE of clean, fresh
water is just as important as good

Why is water so important to the
laying flock? If we check our records
we find that about one-half of the hens
body and over IS per cent of all eggs
produced by her are water. What does
this mean? 1t simply means that if we
expect the hen to keep producing eggs
we must be sure that she gets plenty
of water, A hundred laying hens will
consume from 6 to 8 gallons of water
per day.
Water is one thing we often neglect
during the winter months. I guess it is
just human nature to assume that since
the weather is cold the birds won't get
thirsty as readily as they do in warm
weather. But, thirsty or not, it takes
just as much water to maintain the
hens body and produce an egg in cold
weather as it does when the weather is
hot So, see that water is available in
the laying house at all times.
The one important thing we should
remember about the winter water sup
ply is that chickens don't like ice water
We must make some provision to keep
the water from freezing during cold
days. There are several ways of doing
this. One way is to take fresh supply
of water to the laying house every few
minutes during cold weather. But, since
most of us are so busy with other things
now, this is very poor method We
just don't get the job done and the birds
are pecking on the ice trying to get a
drink.
The two best ways to keep the water
from freezing are to use either the con-
tinuous flow system or Enthusiastically
controlled heaters in the containers
The continuous flow system works very
well. We have used it in one of our
laying houses for the past five years
and have never had it freeze, even wher
the temperature was AZ below zero
There is one limiting factor to thi:
system. You must have an abundan
supply of water.
There are several types of watel
warmers which can be purchased now
Practically all of them are controlled
by a thermostat and are set to keel
the water around so degrees. Checl
with your poultry supply dealer for tn
types you should get for your particula
situation.
