THE DIGNITY OF LABOR
EDITORIAL
' By Charles V. Stanton
I V. HAMMOCK, chairman c.f tlic local War Price and Ra
tioning board, reports increasing complaints of absenteeism
in essential industry. A groceryman tells us how a boy em-
drivel ! k,u ...... ..:. ...:.k...
' ' iu"
the week because lie wanted to
ally are complaining that many
when they feel in the mood, inventing; all kinds of fanciful ex
cuses to quit when they become tired. One News-Keview car
rier boy gave the management just an hour's warning before
time to carry his route that he was leaving town. A woman
writes to complain of the insolence shown by clerks, particu
larly citing instances in which clerks would say the store was
out of certain items, rather than look through the stock or in
terrupt a conversation.
I hese facts and incidents are
...
ot a condition which we all know is widely prevalent today
a condition that holds much in the way of danger to business
and industry of the future if permitted to continue unchecked.
No business or industry can survive without employees who
can be entrusted with responsibility. No man is big enough to
in . . i t - i i i
handle a major enterprise without competent and dependable
help.
There are indications that a very large percentage of our
population is failing to recognize the dignity and obligation of
labor. I here are several factors, of course, to be considered.
One of the great contributing factors is that many persons work- j
iug today are not compelled to labor but are taking advantage ,
of prevailing high wages and the labor shortage. Another
factor is that there is no difficulty in securing jobs, making it I
easy to quit if management fails to indulge the whims of the
employee. j
Our greatest concern, however, is in our young people I
our boys and girls who under these conditions are obtaining j
e distorted viewpoint and environment. The prospects for the j
lulure are not bright if parents fail to instill a sense of values j
in ihe minds of iheir children- Vet, what can be expected of !
the child when parents themselves show no responsibility to- '
ward their employer or when they deliberately abet the child
in violating his duty. 1
It is no rare sight today to see very small children flourish- j
ie.g $5 and $10 bills. Money freely furnished by parents does j
not create a sense of the value of the dollar in the mind of the ,
youth. A dollar represents a unit of labor, but a youth who
;;rows to maturity wilh the idea thai a dollar is to be obtained j
merely for the asking is not apt to become a responsible j
citi.cn. Instead, he too often turns to petty theft and gravi-
tates to more serious crimes when he outgrows the source of j
supply. I'crhaps the fact that children have too much unearned j
easy money is one factor contributing to our great increase in j
juvenile delinquency. I
It is a recognized fact that Wl'A played a material part in
breakjng clown the fibre of our labor pattern. Labor racketeer- j
ing has clone much to destroy ihe dignity of labor. j
A gun is an essential weapon for self-protection, but used i
carelessly or for holdups it becomes a dangerous thing. Simi- j
larly, organized labor is one- of the country's greatest safe-
guards against exploitation of the great nia.is of workers, but
controlled by reckless, greedy or criminal interests it can result
ii: inclustiial murder. Too many labor racketeers in the past I
lew years have destroyed in a large measure the feeling of re- '
sponsibility necessaiy for successful relationship between labor j
and management.
! All of these factors arc contributing to the dangerous con- j
' dilioii existing today. When the era of high wages has dis- I
j appealed and jobs again become scarce, those employees who I
i e;e lacking in a sense of duty, or who have no conception of '
j labor and money values, are apt to become public charges or !
criminals. j
i Success is not in store for that employee who shirks his j
lesponsibihty. oi, as it is phrased by the Poet ordswoi th :
"I low can he expect that olhes should build for hnn. sow for
j him, and at his call love him, who lor himscll will lake no ;
heed at all?"

Pope's Clash With
Napoleon Recalled
In Present Crisis
Another would-be dictator im
prisoned another Pope Plus 135
years ago.
The dictator was Napoleon; the
Pope was the personable Pius
VII, historic not only for his
clash with Napoleon but as the
creator of the dioceses of New
York, Boston, Charlestovvn, Phil
adelphia, Bardslovvn, Richmond
and Cinicinnati in America.
Like Hitler, Napoleon was try
ing to keep his enemies (Rus
sians and English I out of Italy.
He occupied the papal city of An
cona in October, 1805.
On the spot was Napoleon's
General Minllis, counterpart of
Hitler's Field Marshal Albert
Kesselring In Rome today. As the
tragic quarrel grew, Miollis be
gan seizing papal states for
Fiance. On Feb. 2, 1808, Miollis
seized Rome. Then Napoleon's
general in successive steps:
Seized the printing presses,
journals and post-offices.
Conducted several cardinals to
the frontier.
Banished other cardinals from
Rome.
The Pontifical slates were an-
' nexed lo France and the Pontifi
jcal flag was lowered from Sant'
AnEelo.
1 Pope Pius retaliated with ex
I communication for Napoleon, in
June 1809.
I In the early morning of July
iti. the Pope was arrested in the
Qiurinal. He had two hours to
prepare to leave. At 4 a. m. he
was started to Savona. He lived
there or at Fontainebleau

it is announced by Chief Spe

Lieut. John F. Biehler, who has
been head of the Helena, Mont.,

of the main station at Portland.
During DeGrave's three years

country.
Latest national figures showed
Oregon to be in first place in the
