Thursday, September 17, 1942 SOUTHERN OREGON MINER J LABOR.................................. blood ' Our Greatest Defense Industry j TODAY aid TOMORROW I And now for the workers in war factories. I don't agree that they are. all overpaid. Some of them are still earning a wage on which I would not like to try to support my| family. But in most cases they are earning more than they have for many years. Not long ago there was a strike in a plane factory because the workers wanted a dollar a day more. Maybe they should have had it. Maybe the company’s earnings were high enough to pay it and still make a profit. But the fact that they considered their selfish demands more important than the lives of the men who needed those pianes can never be forgiven. 1 admit it is almost Impossible for those of us who are far from the war fronts to measure our actions In terms of life and death —but any worker or employer who lets anything interfere with war production can put this down as a certainty; every delay in production is being paid for wlith I By DON ROBINSON DEATH ...... minutes "Suppose you're ordefed to hold I ' a position until you're killed or captured; the precious minutes you can hold up the enemy's ad- 1 vanes is woTtn a gun and a man.

Bulkeley speaking, heio of the Philippines, who res­ cued General MacArthur, who escaped death a dozen times only by miracles and who, when inter­ viewed for an article published in Readers Digest, told the most heart-rending story which so far nas come out of this war. Trial last sentence, about sol­ diers giving their lives to save minutes, wane people here aie I wastuig days and weeks, should be posted on every building in Washington. And not only in Washington. The full meaning of it needs to be brought home to i men in factories who consider striking because they'd like more money or don't like their buss, to employers who delay production to wrangle with the government over some inconsequential clause in a contract- and to the people all over this country who want to help but are not doing all they can because of social engagements or just plain .laziness. They Work Together and Eat Together WASHINGTON . . . Tomato Juice for Breakfast And it's not just Washingtoi and labor and employers wh should take the blame for bloo< being spilled. Every one of us could nroh’’-’' do something we haven't done which would save lives. Take scrap iron. Whenever a sttel company has to let a blaa furnace gq out because of a short age of iron, it means that the pro­ duction of planes, tanks and gun < will be delayed. Right now steel companies ar ' not turning out all the material they could because of the shortage of scrap iron. Perhaps the government isn't calling tor materials loud enough to make us realize the importance of them. But we all know there is a war on and we are not as well tquipped as we should be Let's not wait for the government to come and get the scrap we might turn in—let's make It our busi­ ness to find out what is needed and see that every ounce of it available in our neighborhood is put into the war. General Marshall Reviews Icelandic Troops laxity Let's talk about Washington first. Out in the Pacific, in Egypt, in planes over France and Germany, , the finest of our nation’s young men are jiving their lives every day—perhaps every minute — to protect our country and our lib­ erty. We are sending supplies to , them, but if even one gun, one tank or one plane, which might be added to their force is delayed by Washington inefficiency, it means lives are unnecessarily lost. In war times we become hard­ ened to death unless it is the death of some loved one, some close friend, husband or son. Take a case of a mother who has spent over 20 years raising her son. sacrificing to give him i an education and an opportunity to make good in the world. To her that son becomes her life. Imagine how she must feel if she realizes, when she gets the notice of his death, that it could have been prevented if—if what? If he had had the support of a tank or a plane which desk men in Washington didn't order in I time. Or of a plane, out on the high seas ,had started out a day earlier instead of being delayed by some government worker having to leave the office early to have cocktails with one of his girl friends. I don't blame Washington par­ ticularly. We all still have a lax attitude about this war. But it's Line we realized that the very de­ lay costs lives. American and British troops are working so close together in the Egyptian desert aa they prepare for an eventual defeat of the "desert fox," General Rommel, that they even ahare the aame food.
