“ A Hell o f a Time to Strike!”
The Challenge of Today
“ This is s hell of a tim e to strik e in
A m erica. ”
These are the words of an Am erican
soldier in F rances who has ju st rt ceiv
ed the Croix de G uerre and s silver
s ta r for risking Ins life to save th a t of
a wounded French officer, when told of
labor troubles in certain mills and fac­
tories of the U nited S ta te s.
.
When this man. who is jeopardizing
life and limb tw enty four hours a day
ami seven days a week for little more
than a dollar a day in money, says
“ This is u hell of a tim e to s tr ik e ,” he
expresses the indignation which every
man in tho U nited S tate* arm y, navy
o r m arines feels a t the idea of hutting
th e w ar for higher wages.
Y et it is evident, both in this coun­
try and in England, th a t th e re is a ce r­
tain labor elem ent th a t thinks " it is a
hell of a good tim e to s tr ik e .”
C lear­
ly one of these views is the selfish and
u npatriotic view and the oth er Is the
unselfish and patriotic view.
It does
not ta k e long to determ ine which is
