Required Reading
Meanwhile, we commend verv hishlv the leadine
article in the current "American Mercury" entitled
"Ten Ways to Lose the War" by William Bredford
Huie.
Here are the ten: ,
1. Allowing Wilson college to make silk stockings.
3. Allowing the Kraut crop to be canned.
3. Preferring gold to brass cartridge cases.
4. Hesitating to handle a hot potato in the lumber
Industry.
6. Letting politics dictate the rubber policy.
6. Failure to solve the problem of steel alloys.
7. Retaining business as usual psychology.
8. Making saxophones and Junk Jewelry.
9. Allowing the army and navy to waste precious war
metals.
10. Refusing to draft 18 year old boys until after
election.
Unfortunately we haven't the space to reprint the
article, and not being able to borrow any experts
from the staff of the "Readers Digest," we fear any
attempt at condensation would fall far short of really
putting over the idea.
LJOWEVER in general, here, as we view it is the
1 greatest single danger confronting this country
and the allied war effort in general at the present
time.
It is not any question about our soldiers, sailors, ma
rines, and aviators doing their stuff regardless of
where they may be called. But considerable question
about a similar fighting spirit, and willingness to
SACRIFICE, here at home.
And the two chief reasons for the latter:
1. Failure to appreciate the true gravity of the
situation.
a. Failure to abandon entirely the belief, that In spite
of what has been said, business as usual CAN be carried
on, regardless of the war.
THE entire articles piles up evidence upon evidence,
that a vast majority of the people still fail to
grasp the seriousness of the conflict in which they are
engaged, and what must be done, not only by our
fighting men, but by themselves, our NON-fighting
men and women, to win it
And in ADDITION to that the inability of too many
business men, particularly those of authority in high
places, to forget what may be profitable and think
only of that service they must perform even if it might
involve serious financial sacrifice.
THE remedy, in our judgment, for No. 1 is abandon
ment at once of the adopted censorship policy of
persistently OVER-emphasising good war news and
playing down bad.
The remedy for No. 2 requires the same treatment
and added to that what might be termed a spiritual
awakening, as outlined in this paper recently by the
financial adviser, Mr. Roger Babson a necessary
prelude to a genuine revival of religion in short, a
new sense of values entirely and a religion for

Communications
THIS STRANGER LIKES
MEDFORD
To the editor:
I have been reading studiously
the letters in your communica
tions column concerning the
friendliness of Medford and the
stranger within her gates. ,
When I left my home to
Journey with my husband into
strange surroundings I expected
to be lonely sometimes, but did
not think it would be the fault
of the people in whose town I
happened to be.
I have been treated well con
sidering the time I have been
here.
I have not had the opportun
ity yet to be in church as much
as I would like.
The times I have managed to
be there I have been treated
nicely.
The place to become acquaint
ed with folks through the
church Is the Sunday school
hour.
There is not much time for
folks to be friendly at the close
of a Sunday morning service
for everyone is anxious to get
home for lunch.
I have found the real Chris
tians almost Blways meet you
half way If you go the other
half.
The people in commercial
establishments have gone out of
their way to be nice.
After all, why worry whether
Medford people like or dislike
us.
I am too busy to think or care
whether they like me or not.
Probably that Is the reason I
have made friends here. I have
met them on a friendly basis and
been met that way in return.
We should remember we are
fighting a war. Petty short
comings should not disturb us.
Happiness lies within our
selves, not In the. folks of Med
ford or any other town we hap
pen to be in. A town cannot
be Judged by a few who like to
snub others.
So let all the strangers here
remember we are all good
Americans fighting a war "not
Medford'' and go onward with
that thought.
To be as happy as we can
and not be too critical for the
duration of our stav here.

in spirit of fellowship, for
their own good and for the good
of the public.
Once upon a time when I was
a member of the three-man
censorship committee of the
country medical society another
member and I procured and ap
proved the application of an os
teopath for membership. The
osteopath had had the same
years of schooling and had
passed the same state board ex
amination for a license as we
had. Furthermore he was a-man
of unimpeachable ethical prin
ciples and indeed many good
medical practloners, members of
the medical society, regularly
consulted with him in everyday
practice. But when the applica
tion was submitted to the so
ciety for a vote two members
voted to accept and all the other
members cordially rejected the
application. That was a long
while ago, but I can see little
improvement in the breadth of
the prevailing medical vision to
day. QUESTIONS ANSWERS

THE SALE OF SCRAP METAL
To the editor. The govern
ment is broadcasting appeals for
scrap metal. Periodicals are ap
plauding the efforts of commun
ities which have organized for
collection of waste materials.
When we, in our community try
to launch such project we are
met by tales such as these:
"You can only get six cents
a pound for scrap metal, but the
man who buys It gets twenty-five
cents a pound from the manu
facturer." "A man from near here hauled
a trailer load of Junk to Port
land but could not sell It. Deal
ers said 'take it back to Medford
and sell it through your Junk
collector there. He has the con
tract for that territory.' "
"A 'swing frame' on a big 'cat'
broke recently. The owner when
buying the replacement part
asked If he should bring in the
broken one. He was told not to.
that they had no use for It. So a
half ton of steel was left as junk
in the timber."
There are tons of scrap metal
in our woods. There are scores
of citizens willing to make an
effort to round it up. Intelligent
leadership is lacking.
Any request made by the gov
ernment which is not accom
panied by clear and definite in
structions for its fulfillment is
worse than useless! It breeds
apathy and cynicism toward all
war efforts. It undermines con
fidence in our government.
You can assist the salvage
campaign by answering publicly
these questions and others which
unanswcred.retard our efforts.
1. Is there any authorized
agency that will collect scrap
metal if it is placed in sizeable
piles conveniently near a high
way? 2. What price Is paid for scrap
metal
3. Does the middleman make
7n unreasonable profit?
4. Can scrap metal be sold to
any collection agency by any-

Comment
From Washington. D. C
Shipyard Worker
Will Be Checked
Excess Labor
U Suspected
Labor Pirating
Agreed Against
By John W. Kelly
Washington, D. C, Sept. 29.
Federal maritime commission
has issued an order that every
worker in the shipyards of the
northwest shall be checked in
the forenoon and once in the
afternoon to see that they are
on the job. The commission has
heard whispers that there are
more men in the yards than are
necessary and that there is much
loafing. i
Despite this suspicion on the
part of the maritime commis
sion, from one end of the Paci
fic northwest to the other there
is a shortage of labor of all
kinds and civilian activities are
begging people to come to
work. The Jobs range from
waitresses and chambermaids,
experienced and inexperienced.
to loggers, shipyard workers
and aircraft workers. Never in
history has there been such an
appeal for help in this region.
Stick a pin in the map of any
town in Washington and Ore
gon and there is where jobs are
crying to be filled. A town
may not have war industries,
but it needs men and women to
carry on the normal functions
of business. Law firms every
where are losing stenographers.
Beauty shops, specialty shops
and barber shops are unable to
give suitable service and with
a diminished staff. An eight
chair barber shop Is rocking
along with only the proprietor.
Every newspaper is carrying
help wanted ads.
Shipyards alone can use an
additional 100,000 in excess of
their present forces, it is
claimed. Critical letters were
received when this column pre
dicted months ago that agents
of shipyards would search the
east for workers. Today car
loads of workers are being
shipped, to the northwest from
New York city, where some 30,
000 are being sought. The labor
agents are paying transportation
from Manhattan to Washington
and Oregon. Incidentally, the
men picked up in New York are
members of the American Fed
eration of labor. Work scouts
are combing Texas and other
southern states to contract
workers for employment in the
northwest.
Labor unions are taking dis
play advertisements for all
types of workers, an unusual
proceeding for these organiza
tions. These unions are in con
trol of war Jobs and naturally
are anxious to furnish workers
who, in turn, will pay initiation
fees and dues. The unions are
sitting on top of the world,
e e
LIKE the federal maritime
commission, the manpower com
mission is suspicious that per
haps more labor is employed in
shipyards than is necessary.
Manpower commission has also
ordered a check to discover the
facts. Assertions are made that
certain yards are employing
more men than they can use
and are willing to pay wages to
this excess labor in the belief
that there will be a keen short
age within few months and
this semi-idle labor will then be
available. There are reports of
men sleeping on the Job and in
stances of bottles of liquor being
taken to work and similar lax
ness which can be found In any
organization of thousands of
men, many of whom never drew
such wages before in their lives.
A percentage of the workers
are almost youngsters kids
from IS to 25 years. These are
restless, reckless and impudent
It is the first time that they have
earned money and the pay is
extravagant. They have an idea
that a worker's badge or tin hel
met carries extra privileges.
such as wasteful use of automo
bile tires, and they spend their
wages as soon as they receive
their check. This group causes
numerous criticisms of the war

servers attach to all workers.
ON one point the employers
now agree: they will not pirate
labor from another war plant.
They so declare in their adver
tising, yet there are rumors that
certain employers pay fee,
commission or blood-money to
union organizers to induce
workers to quit other plants and
Join the employer's particular
outfit This blood-money is
quoted at $9 to $10 a head.
Whether or not this practice
prevails, it is a fact that there
are - many transfers from one
union to another and from one
plant to another. Workers are
not .yet frozen in their Jobs,
other than the loggers and lum
bermen and miners, who are
ordered to stay "put"
e e
AS an army of people flock

sought to fill vacancies in civi
lian occupations. U. S. employ

work in stores, offices, restaur
ants, lumber mills, hotels. One
factory producing bombadier
doors for the flying fortresses

agency for 400 women at once.
If a woman is experienced in
any kind of work she can find
employment; if inexperienced
she will be hired and trained.

"Three hands quit for $1.50-an-hour
jobs in the city. What
am I going to do?"
"I tried to get my hired man

wouldn't do it. Can't you do
something in Washington?"
Jittery congressmen, up for
re-election this year. Just didn't
know the answers, nor was
there any proposal pending in
congress, any single vehicle to
which they could tie, to show
the farmer that they were doing
their best to solve his problem.
Then came Mr. Rosevelt's mes
sage on price control.
Inflation and farm labor are
not very closely related, but Mr.
Roosevelt's message tied them
together.
First, the President said that
the legal minimum ceiling on
farm prices was too high and
congress should reduce it.
Second, the President sought
to soften the blow by discussing
agricultural production costs and
added that they should "include
the cost of labor."
Congressmen took that to
mean farm labor and rushed to
get on the bandwagon. Here was
the vehicle they had been look
ing fori
Twenty-four hours later an
anti-inflation bill was Introduced
in the house, which carried a
provision requiring that farm la
bor costs be considered. Twenty
four hours after that Mr. Roose
velt wrote a letter to congress
and said he hadn't meant the
"cost of farm labor," but the
cost of Industrial labor.
That was two weeks ago and
the repercursions haven't died
down yet
THE best guess in Washington
is that Mr. Rosevelt did not
have exact knowledge of every
word that was in his Labor Day
message.
If a war-time president is the
actual author of half that goes
