In a recently published summary of the views of the American war work er, baaed on studies by the American Institute of Public Opinion, we have some very reassuring information on the nature of the average war work- era' attitude. + : : : : t H I ■ 11 - The majority of war workers are taking a realistic view of the post-war era, saving money now because they thinks they may have to accept a weekly pay, cut. They are satisfied with the way management is running things. They are fair and will not rush to defend fellow workers whom they believe are at fault. And al though the majority believe in labor unions they are not blind to the shortcomings of Unions. This is a picture of a level-headed group—an important one which in cludes millions of men and women und which constitutes qne of the largest groups in the country today-. And members of the government would do well to consider this when fanciful schemes are being hatched in Washington. ■ See “Spike” Leslie for the best in Liability, or other Insurance.
