LABOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES

Another Labor day is at hand, a day when a nation

When our boys were still at the

Later on when social studies
came along, or even before then,
the teachers would appreciate
having the boys share with the

times, knowing how glad I was to
have them do It, they would care

the balopticon; then replace It
with scotch tape. (Of course one
couldn't do that with a bound
volume! )
Soon a friend, seeing what the
old issues meant In the home,
thought to give "membership in
the National Geographic Society"
to one boy. (Not a subscription,
oh dear, no! And that "member
ship" was a real thrill, too!) Lit

(Continued From Pag One) '
sixty in good condition, and num- land" has to be on the map" and
easy. Instead, the fight has been long and often bloody.
But, today, Labor holds the whip hand and, too often,
has shown inclination to use its new-gained power in ways
detrimental to society and to itself.
Bruce Biossat, NEA Service commentator, writes
Labor day as follows:
Labor diy It tht moment of tht year when our politi
cians remind tht workingman that he It tht backbone of
tht nation and rteitt for him tht long list of rights
and privileges to which ht It heir.
We prefer to talk about tht eppotitt facet of those right!
and privileges tht worker't dutiet and responsibilities.
There it no question that organized labor hat achltved
a fair measure of maturity sinca tht first wild days of its
newfound ttrtngth In tht depression 1930s. But Its leaden
still shout too much of its rights and not enough of
duties; and Its rank and filt it still too Insistent In
txerciting Its privileges and Insufficiently concerned about
Its responsibilities.
Labor wants a rising floor under wages, but no ceiling.
. It wants full protection In Its right to strikt but actt
at if it should bt exempt from penalty when people
art hurt or property It damaged while a ttrlkt It on.
It wantt a freedom for Itself that It It unwilling to
accord to others.
Admittedly, labor It not alont In this stress on getting
Instead of giving. Tht farmart, too, often havt exhibited a
similar attitudt. And for a long span In U. S. history,
businessmen behaved In tht lamt fashion. Government
and tht grtater ttrtngth of rival groupt curbed their
mort h-responsible uses of freedom, but many business
men still resent any checkrein on their activities.
This one sided, Immature approach cannot bt condoned
In any group. But today It Just happens to bt labor't turn
to bt lectured.
So wt call upon workingman to givt mort attention to
t tht two-tldednets of life, to measure their rolt In tociety
fairly In relation to other groups, to recognize that gov
ernment at a referee mutt balance labor't needt and
rlghta agalnet tht welfart of farmers and businessmen
and tht wholt public.
Too many labor Itadert havt fallen Into tht habit
of Identifying themselves with all humanity and thut
labeling criticism as an attack upon "people" In tht
large.
They would do better to urge upon their men a re
sponsibility to act under the tamt lawt that govarn
othtrt; to accept a rolt In tociety equal to their num
bers, thtlr ability and their character, rather than to
try to bt tht wholt show; and to develop a new pride
J of workmanship to replace that which vanished when
tht minutely subdivided tasks of mast production pushed
tht proud craftsman off tht tcene
Worklngmen with thit tort of attitudt would greatly
enhance labor't ataturt and enrich their contribution to
American living.
There is another thought we would like to inject into
the labor topic, which will be so widely discussed over
the holiday weekend.
Labor, in our opinion, should be using its strength to
create new employment. Instead of supporting feather
bedding and make-work, and instead of pricing working
men out of jobs, labor should be encouraging the cre
ation of so much employment that the desired higher
wages .would result from a scarcity of labor on the
open market.
. Here in Oregon as an example we have a major in
dustry based largely upon the manufacture of trees into
timber and boards. Specialized manufacture still is in
its infancy. Chemical utilization has barely started.
Labor Could more than double the number of jobs in
this industry, could stabilize employment and could pre
vent a stupendous waste if it were to direct its organi
zational strength into a program of full utilization
the same time, by producing jobs for all, it would auto
matically keep wages high without necessity for strikes.
We are familiar with the boy who within a space of
a few months grows from a child into manhood's stature.
His sudden growth prevents him from properly coordinat-
cards I Indexed them In such a
way that when, in the middle of
making a pie, I heard "Mother,
which is the Horses-G'raphic?" I
0f could say, after a quick peek In
my liitie inaex box, iNumoer so-
too small for that one. It will be
on a larger scale map." And It
was! A pin point, but there! He
knew the Pacific islands by then
. . . as so many other lads learned
them!
Old Geographies are treasure-

WU A
tfour Watch
10?
Below ore six true or false questions the answers to which every watch
owner should know. Mark the questions in the space on the left, then check
onswers listed below.
True or False?
( ) 1. Cleoning a watch is one of the most delicate watch repairing operations.
2. Swiss Watchmakers make the finest watches anywhere.
3. If o small ladies' watch runs while dirty it con do damage to the
movement.
4. No waterproof watch is actually waterproof.
5. Watch repair charges are standardized throughout the United
Mates by the U. i. Bureau or Mandards.
( ) 6. You will generally get much better timekeeping from your watch
if you buy your watch from an expert watchmaker ond continue to
have him service it.
Question number one is TRUE. Cleaning and the adjusting that must
go along with it, is one of the most skilled operations.
Question number two is olso TRUE. Swiss watchmakers certainly do
moke the finest watches. They also make the least expensive ones, selling in
Switzerland for approximately 75c.
The third question is FALSE becouse dirt will stop a small wotch before
it does ony damage. Most smoll watches need cleaning once a year. If your$
has run longer you are lucky. On the other hand, a large pocket watch may
be damaged by running dirty.
The fourth question is FALSE. Some woterproof watches are absolute
ly waterproof and will remain so providing the seals are replaced every 2
years. Generally speaking, waterproof watches with screw backs ore least
likely to remain woterproof once the back is taken off.
Question number five is FALSE. There are no standardized watch re
pair prices nor any price limitations. The integrity ond ethics of your watch
maker determines the price you pay for watch repairs.
The lost question, number six, is TRUE, and bears re-reading.
At Knudtson's you'll find Hamilton. Wyler, Longines, Tavonnes, Gruen
ond other fine watches priced from 33.75.
Shop around for your watch, by oil means, but stop in ot Knudtson's to
compare before you buy.
