We were about to say organized labor “working” in the industrial centers, but we realize that the men who pull the strings that cause labor trouble are not working on defense projects, but are con niving on plans to feather their own nests. In addition, we suspect that the reason the labor unions are not con trolled is the same reason that has promp ted the present administration to play up to the labor unions. We often hear the remark that skilled workers should not receive $10 to $15 a day while men are serving in the armed forces for $21 a month. In fairness it should be pointed out that soldiers do not work for $21 a month,because they also receive food, clothing, shelter and medical attention. When a soldier has gained experience equal to that of a skill ed laborer he receives more than $21 a month in cash. However, despite high living costs, the men working in defense industries are not making sacrifices equal to the men in the armed forces by far. Indus trial workers are important during war because more than a dozen persons are needed to keep one man on the front, but they are not so important that they should be allowed to strike and demand a work week of only 40 hours. Victory in this war is too important to placate labor union members who are THE NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 1942 too blamed selfish to give their country at least a little consideration. It is becoming trite to refer to the complacency of France when Germany went on the warpath, but certain skilled workers should “remember Dunkerque” as well as “remember Pearl harbor”. No labor union can exist under a dictatorship, but still the union big-wigs r- i have hope that someone else will win the war and leave them with their fat money bags. ^'rjk'r > J SCHOLARSHIPS IN COUNTY AWARDED TIME FACTOR IN FARMING PROGRAM Seventeen boys and girls chosen Time is the most valuable ele as the outstanding 4-H club mem ment in the war effort, declares ber of their respective counties Robert B.
