THE SAME THING If an Axis bomber, carrying out Hitler's boasts of bombing the United States, had penetrated the air defenses of the United States and made its way to a town in Ohio to drop explosives and destroy in a factory 694,000 bearings needed in our war effort, and also had ruined a stock of 206,000 armor- plercing shot, it would have been a good day's work for the Axis plane Recent labor disturbances at that plant, accord- ing to the Cincinnati Enquirer, accomplished the same purpose. Management at the plant found itself in the middle, between workers’ union demands on one side, and Government orders on the other. The Government said there shall be no racial discrimination against workers in war industries. The company, had a union contract gression scale of promotions. which provided for a But when 27 Negro workers were advanced by the company in accordance with the government directive and the union agreement, there was a strike which closed down virtually the plant’s entire machine tool department Government loplv\vn(an\e succeeded in p.xlch- the Timken Roller Bearing Company, | pro- | 'lng up this trouble in a few days. But four da) |later, the company received directive from the | United Steelworkers of ‘America, CIO, to discharge a certain employee because he was no longer “in good standing” with the unon. When the company com- plied, under terms of a contract with the union, 825 {workmen at the plant went on strike for the second {time in two weeks. It took a week to settle this |one. a Loss of production could not be made up because the plant already was operating at 100 percent pro- { duction Here is the nation engaged in the most impor- tant and vicious struggle in history, and workers are ready to strike at the dfop of a hat, regardless of agreements. | The workers are not consciously working for the i jenemy, but the pmcncal result is one and the same, In Ragged Reglmenlals { (New York Times) On the Salween Front Brooks Atkinson makes Chinese soldiers as well as if we were { looking at them with our own eyes. Their uniforms are faded, patched, thin for the cold ' weather. If they are not barefoot they wear straw sandals, made | by themselves. They are great riders of shanks' mare, Sométimes they have trudged for three straight months. Silently and stoically they foot it, carrying their necessary baggage, pots, baskets, rifles. Ap- parently they will have to wait for peace to see shoes and trousers again. The ferocity of the weather, fatigue, pain, they bear without flinching or murmuring. Brave, polite and shabby, you can't help liking and admiring them. Naturally they remind the correspondent of/ Washington's troops in the winter of 1777-78. The sufferings of these were even severer. On the march to Valley Forge numbers dropped dead with cold. Many were shoeless. Cut by the ice, their feet were bleeding. Few had any blankets. A few had one shirt, the majority none at all. In mid-February Washington wrote that part of the Army had been “a week without any kind of flesh and the rest three or four days.” Légs and arms were: frozen and cut off. Some of the young aides de camp kept up their spirits. They gave a supper to which nobody could be admitted who had a whole pair of trousers. Naturally it was “well attended.” As we leave these much-enduring American tatterdemalions let us fix their picture in our minds | s they “patiently yoke themselves to little carriages |of their own making or load thejr wood and pro-| | visions on their backs.” They weren't liable to break thelr backs with the burden of theit provisions. All! these scarcitiés and privations webé unnécessary. Want of organization, incapacity of ‘the commission, dishonesty of contractors were to blame. The straits of the Chinese soltiers are due to the enemy and the long stress of war.
