Heading: The Blackout Effort.

Text: Within the week following the treacherous attack upon the United States by the government of Japan on the 7th day of December, 1941 (commonly referred to as Pearl Harbor), there was patriotic activity and cooperation of Company employees and Company management to blackout the skylights and windows of the Company buildings so that the production of planes could go forward uninterruptedly and under lessened danger of bombing then believed to be a very real danger. It is evident that the relation of employer and employee was disregarded in the uplifting emotion of patriotism and that the workers and company management recognizing the emergency proceeded cooperatively to prepare such defense against attack as was open to them. In the nature of things they were not scrupulous in acting strictly in accord with the terms of the collective bargaining contract. Immediately the acute emergency passed, satisfactory adjustments were made. The evidence does not support a finding that any right guaranteed by § 7 has been violated.
