No doubt there are instances somewhere in the nation today of unscrupulous employers who seek to | use the national defense situation as a club to swing Lubllc opinion against workers who are demanding i nothing more than a square deal. But the opposite | condition, of irresponsible labor leaders who seek to use the national defense emergency to obtain agreements they could never achieve legitimately in more normal times, certainly exists also in some | cases. Such attempts to blackmail the national ide!cnso effort, whether by employer or union, are | against the public interest and should not be toler- | ated. s The thing that needs most of all to be created is a psychology in the minds of both employers and workers that will keep them working at their desks and benches is a cooperative contribution to the ldefense effort. The trade union leadership of the | nation is the proper agency for creating such a psy- | chology in the minds of the workers. On the in- | dividual employer lies no less a responsibility. Will both rise to their opportunity and obligation?
