This class does not require Bye-Bye Axis too long to train but the labor these stock men require does not learn so quickly. Many of these stock men say that they are going to sell off their stock this fall T hat they can’t get the labor to put up their hay now nor to feed the stock this winter. Its Indeed a tough question and the answer is hard to find. Here AMERICAN HEROES DAY is another tough labor problem and I think a very serious one too. You have no doubt all talked with some of the boys when they come home for a few days off from a defense Job. They most all inveribly will tell you the same story, of how they are held up by red tape or other wise and not allowed to work at full capacity. These plants are do ing a big Job and are turning out a very great amount of material, Oranted, but they have a very great many men working too. We hear so many stories like this one. “A friend of mine we was raised up together he now has two sons working in a ship yard in califor nia. One the boys was home on a vacation a few days ago and was telling of how they compelí them to loose time. He is a welder and was raised up a peg, good natured accomidating country kid. An 111- istratlon he is welding something heavy and his helper needs a hand BUY BONDS FOR for Just a moment he would reach over and give him a hand. He was bauled out for helping a worker OUR BOYS JULY 17 beneath him. The second time the boss saw it he made it a little The boys at camp and the boys at the front stronger and the third time he was told that if he was caught doing want to know that we’re behind them in every that any more he «would be fired. Now if his helper has a Job that way. They know that moral support is nothing it would take a minute to do but he must have some help the welder without the financial aid that goes wih it. must stand idely and wait while the helper runs all over the yard for some one to help him. Another story, A couple of car penters worked on the construction of the Oowen field up here at Boise that was a flat contract Job and the workers all worked like all contractors are expected to work. When the Job was finished they went to a defense Job in Cal. The first day they were aslgned a Job for the day and in a couple of hours they had it done. They went gand stamps.
