L. BERNARD LABOR DAY, 1942 President | 'he most critical, and perhaps most unusual Labor Vice-President and Business Mandger e e Ry Day in history will be celebrated Monday. Today, labor in the United States, after years of |tough battling, stands as one of the most free and |influential organizations of the common man that the world has seen. That is one reason why this Labor Day is critical—because the United States and other nations where labor is free are fighting a war with those who would make laborers slaves. That is also one reason why this Labor Day is unusual. Factories, war plants in most busy sec- [tions of the States won't be shut down on Monday. ‘“";:A;."‘T%",’a"sé”k ,sfg‘,*,g‘i"“i‘;cfi%&‘“"" |Labor will be working, working to make the day a - - rea] Labor Day in every sense of the word. m,':,@:,’f’;{:fd}:f”?fifif’,‘j"{‘v‘:‘j‘“* Ainska Newspapers, 1| There is another reason why this Labor Day is o -+ unusual.

Admiral Hart took the first al- ternative and retired. Subsequently, the Dutch were critical of Hart. ‘The Japs made a landing close to Java, subsequently pushed on to Java, and the Dutch felt that the Allied fleet should have risked bul-l tle. By so doing, they thought,| Java might have been saved. “THE COMMANDER ERRED” Whether Admiral Hart erred or not, only history can tell. But apparently he had made some other errors. For Hart himself, who is a refreshingly candid old sea-dog, severa] times wrote in his log: “The Commander (referring to himself) now finds that he was mistaken” about thus and thus. He had, for instance, sent the fleet scurrying off toward Sumatra, | Admiral Hart was transferred—for reasons of health.” He was re- placed by the Dutch commander, Vice Admiral Conrad E. L. Hel- frich. THE BATTLE OF JAVA Helfrich took command shortly before the disastrous battle of Java. Under him were Rear Admiral William A. Glassferd, who had suc- ceeded Hart; Rear Admiral Arthur Francis Palliser, in command of British units; and Rear Admiral Karel UFM. Doorman, the junior Dutch admiral who commanded at sea, Helfrich remaining in Sura- baya. A few hours before the battle of Java, Allied scouts sighted a sup- erior Japanese fleet, and again the difficult question arose of declding whether it was more advisable to engage or withdraw and await 8 more favorable opportunity. However, there was complete unity and complete understanding when Admiral Doorman led the Dutch, American and British units x'ngo battle. The battle started in the old- fashioned, approved naval style— two columns firing broadsides at each other. flagship de Ruyter was in the van- | he signaled them to follow, they obeyed. This brought HM.S Exeter and the U.S.S. Houston, together with British and American units, with- in range of the enemy’s 6-inch guns as well as its 8-inch guns. EXETER HIT AMIDSHIPS Despite this, however, the battle continued - more favorably than was expected. United Nations marksmanship was excellent. On the whole the United Nations held their own. But suddenly the Exeter, most important of the British units, was struck in the engine-room and was forced to turn out of line. And Admiral Doorman, not ac- customed to commanding a large fleet, turned out of line with her. This was the signal for every other ship to turn out of line. After that there was no unity of action. Dutch, British and US. warships scattered, fought lnd' vidyally, became the prey of bands of Jap destroyers together with land-based planes. It was a tragic defeat.
