Our New PrMledged Class
Because the President of the T. P. & W. railroad
refused to cooperate with the government, in its war
policy as he desired, President Roosevelt yesterday
ordered the director of defense transportation to take
the road over and operate it for the duration.
Rather drastic action!
But assuming President McMear's recalcitrance is
as serious are reported, this is action the people of
the country will heartily commend.
In such a crisis as now exists, business management
should subordinate EVERYTHING to the war effort,
and if it refuses to do so, the President as Commander-in-Chief
of the armed forces, should not only
have the power, but freely exercise the power, to
take any vital non-cooperative business over, and
thus see that its operation IS in the "interests of the
successful prosecution of the war."
m m m
THE alacrity with which President Roosevelt takes
this drastic action where management is at fault,
is in sharp contract, however, with his persistent re
fusal to take any action whatever where labor is, or
has been, similarly amiss.
Only a few days ago, the President when asked his
opinion regarding "anti-strike" legislation for the
duration of the war, declared he could see no need
for any such drastic step, that when things were in
! general going so satisfactorily, he believed it wise to
et well enough alone.
Yet the very next day, a thousand shipyard work
ers the other side of the Siskiyous walked out because
they wanted shorter hours and higher pay; are still
out, and this particular section of vital war construc
tion is at a standstill.
More than that. Only the week before, there were
14 A.F.I. walkouts involving 1200 employees, 10
C.I.O. walkouts, involving 5400 employees, all in
important industries and all violations of the verbal
pledge of A.F.L. and C.I.O. leaders that strikes would
be outlawed by organized labor for the duration.
Yet the President said nothing, took no action, and
everyone believes WILL take no action.
a a
WHY?
"T Until there is some official explanation from the
White House one can't be sure.
But this much IS certain.
More and more, the rank and file of the American
people, are coming to the reluctant belief, that the
President's sympathies for labor are SO strong, his
prejudices against business so ingrained and so deep,
that even in such a serious emergency as now exists,
he can't bring himself to take any official action that
might displease the former, and indicate any real
sympathy or concern for the latter.
a a a a
"THIS may do the President a grave injustice, but in
view of the record, what other conclusion can be
reached, when,
EVERY attempt to discipline labor and compel it
to conform to the demands of the war effort, regard
less of its selfish interests, is discouraged by the
White House,
And every attempt to make management hew to
the line, even to the point of outright confiscation, is
upheld and proclaimed as necessary and just?
a a a e e
fERTAINLY no sane person can believe all the
wrongs are on one side, all the virtues on the
other. Yet there is the record to date, '
With labor strikes, walkouts and profiteering,
holding up and impairing the war effort from coast
to coast, nothing is done,
But when the President of a small railroad in
Illinois, refuses to arbitrate a strike because he sup
posed strikes to be outlawed by a gentleman's agree
ment, for the duration,
Off comes his head, and his property is lost!
Roosevelt vs. Arnold
This official astigmatism where the derelictions of
organized labor are concerned, is the more puzzling
in view of the activities of Assistant Attorney-General
Thurman Arnold, a personal friend of President
Roosevelt's who a few years ago was called from the
faculty of Yale University, to take charge of all anti
trust legislation and prosecution.
Yesterday before the House Judiciary committee,
Mr. Arnold bluntly accused organized labor of "in
juring and destroying independent business" and
"holding farmers, consumers and small business men
generally at its mercy."
Declaring a proposed measure requiring govern
ment registration of unions and trade associations,
did not go far enough, this high placed legal repre
sentative of the administration, drew up the follow
ing indictment against the tresidents favorite
child":
"When you look at the entire picture, the (labor) situa
tion Is putting a very substantial handicap on the distribu
tion of all civilian necessities. It Is impeding the distribution
of housing and food and is destroying the independent
business man, at a time when we are trying to save the
consumer an 1 independent business man. No other group
In our society can do the thinxs done by the labor unions,
and they have been able to do these things without being
subject to legal action."
The Assistant Attorney General then listed the fol
lowing specific counts against labor:
1. Exploitation of farmers.
2. Undemocratic procedure. "Including packing its
membership to insure elections."
3. Impeding transportation.
4 Making it impossible to get cheap, mass production
of housing."
5 Forcing businessmen to employ "useless" labor.
6 Restricting ' efficient use of men and machines."
7. Placing "Independent businessmen all over the
country completely at the mercy of any organized labor
group. '
A NGELS and Ministers of Grace defend us, and
only a few days ago Attorney General Arnold's
"boss" declared anti-strike and other legislation de
signed to control and discipline labor during the war
period, to be undesirable and unnecessary!
Shouldn't President Roosevelt and his Assistant
Attorney General get together, and at least decide
upon what the facts really are concerning organized
labor and whether remedial legislation, is or isn't
needed at the present time !

which is not very old, even for

severely and recover slowly
from every encounter he had
with another beast and true
to his breed he contrived to
have a go at every other beast,
big or little, that had the te

day the kids of the neighbor
hood carried home a limp and
wretched mess what was left of
Tony after Hammer, Belgian

to let go of him. Tony never
did make what you could call

was his spirit rather than his

and I have never blamed Ham

the big brute had stood a great

everyone around Washington
knew what the Issue was
whether time and a half should
be paid for work above 40 hours
each week. Mr. Roosevelt was
right again when he said there
are few strikes today. There are
probably fewer than there ever
will be. The heat has been put
on the unions by congress and
every one, In and out of govern

tive you could tee that each was
glad to have th other back with
him there before the fire.
I'm merely citing Tony's case
by way of an introduction to the
consideration of lame shoulder.
A lot of people are more or less
incapacitated by lame shoulder
and lame shoulder Is usually
dismissed by the victims and
their friends as "rheumatism."
In other words lame shoulder
or frozen shoulder, pain and
stiffness in or about the shoulder
may be one disease or another
but never "rheumatism" unless
you wish to remain partially dis
abled indefinitely for the sake
of compensation, damages, pen
sion or other ulterior purpose.
If a doctor says the lame or stiff
shoulder is "rheumatism" the
doctor thereby admits he doesn't
know what ails you or he hasn't
th courage to give an honest
opinion about it.
So much for what frozen
shoulder isn't. Next time we'll
consider what it is.

their end of production is not

Mr. Roosevelt is still thinking
about this.
There are some who say the

cogitations were Intended main

induce it to be careful about
its demands for wage Increases.
Of so, his cogitations may last
a long time. His price fixer
Leon Henderson has been swa

government economic policy is
likely before his return.
The president's war labor,
board, meanwhile, has been con
tinuing to grant some wage
increases in specific cases de

before he left, that further wage
increases would throw the whole
economic balance further out of

KJOT much in th way of new
' developments in today's
(Friday's) dispatches.
aaa
fHE Japs, having made land-
ing on the north side of the
eastern tip of New Guinea, are
battering their way up the val
ley of the Markham river, pre
sumably headed for Port Mores
by, on the south aid of th is
land, which faces on the Torres
strait. The dispatches tell us
that in the valley of the Mark
ham there are numerous air field
sites which will be useful to the
Japs enabling them to spread
out their planes instead of con
centrating them on one field
where they would be more vul
nerable to attack by the grow
ing American - Australian air
forces.
o o o
fHEIR present operations do
not give much of a hint as
to whether they have reached
their big decision.
From New Guinea they can
either push on to an invasion
of Australia or merely close the
Torres strait and carry on raids
against the Australian mainland.
Your map will explain this
situation better than words can.
aaa
IN Burma, the Japs are push-
ing up the Irawaddy river to
ward Mandalay and its adjacent
oil fields. Either the news from
there is severely censored or the
fighting isn't on a major scale.
In Burma the wet season is
due in a few weeks bringing
General Mud into the picture.
The British are holding on, hop
ing the rains will make the de
fense problem easier.
There is nothing in the news
so far to indicate that the Japs
are turning toward India rather
than toward Australia.
aaa
THE great Industrial city of
Kharkov, In the Ukraine,
holds the spotlight in today's
Russian news. The Russians
have been threatening it for
days. The Germans are fight
ing back stubbornly. Both sides
claim successes today.
About all we can be sure of
Is that Kharkov hasn't fallen
yet.
aaa
HITLER has called back the
generals he fired last fall,
thus confessing that as a su
preme military commander he
isn't all he might be.
Such a confession probably
Isn't easy for him to make.
The fact that he makes it Is
an interesting indication of the
seriousness of the Russian situa
tion.
a a o
THIS lull in the news is pure
ly temporary. Soon there
will be fighting in plenty, on
many flaming fronts. This is
the big year of the war, with
the axis crowding for a knock
out blow before the full fight
ing strength of America can be
brought to bear).
a a o
ON the home front, 1,000
workers in the Richmond
(Cal.) shipyards who walked off
the job Wednesday night are
back. I
Company officials blame rum
ors of a 10-hour day at other
shipyards, with double time for
the extra two hours. They add
that dissatisfaction resulting
from' misunderstanding of the
new seven-day work week was
a factor In the walk-off.
The head ot the metal trade
council says the walk-away
"hanrjened because somebody
with a big wide mouth popped
off about something he knew
nothing about."

big wide mouth popped off

their homeland.

Washington, D. C, March 21.
-While the office of civilian
defense, with Harvard law pro
fessor Dean Land is in charge.
is planning to organize 20,000,-
000 people Into bowling teams,
horseshoe pitchers, pingpong
players, weight lifters (don't
laugh), bag punchers and 34
other groups into on grand
recreational, the people of the
Pacific northwest are pointing
out that what is most needed
in that region is protection
against forest fires. This is the
real danger in the land of Doug
las fire and pine. Demands
have been and are still being
made on Dean Landis to pro
vide fire fighting apparatus.
Allocation of pumpers has
been made by OCD on a census
basis. The smallest city consid
ered has been one of 10,000
population. From Vancouver,
B. C, to the redwoods and in
the pine country there are many
well established communities
which have less than 10,000
population. These towns are in
the target area; they are nest
ling in the forests and could
be swept out of existence by a
forest fire. (Bandon, Ore., an
example) Every county in the
three states containing timber
fears possible forest fires by
sabotage or other origin and
they have been making their
wants known in the capital,
aaa
ASSOCIATIONS of lumber
men, forestry associations and
individuals have urged upon
OCD and other government
agencies the necessity of pro
viding fire protection. Congress
specifically provided that the
CCC in those states be contin
ued to furnish protection against
forest fires which might im
peril reservoirs, utilities, trans
mission lines, etc. Congress took
this action in January but com
plaints are made that the CCC
camps are not being recruited:
the boys can- obtain higher
wages in industry.
There are scores of CCC
camps ideally located in the for
est areas of the northwest. They
are boarded up, abandoned.
Suggestion is being made that
these camps be used by the
troops. Each camp is equipped
for 200 men at least, and an
infantry company would find
excellent a c c o m m odations in
these barracks. According to all
the strategists, if there is an
invasion by Japanese the at
tempt will be made in the Pa
cific northwest. This being the
assumption, detailing compan
ies of troops to CCC camps
would be ideal training; the
soldiers would be taught the
tactics and methods necessary
in fighting over the very ground
they may have to defend some
time in the future. The high
command has not given sanc
tion to this practical method of
defending the rough, hilly coun

have equipped themselves with
horses and some ride 30 miles

In the forests there are many
places that only a horse can go

possemen have drilled in carry
