Actually, he has done more than any individual in the nation’s history to discredit organ- ized labor and arouse public antagonism against it. The union leaders who have been speaking so caus- tically about any criticism of strikes might have made better use of their breach had they turned their tongues on Lewis when he made the national war effort walk the gangplank With Lewis, Lewis and the UMW come first—in the order named. But when the final records for the year and the war are written, all organized labor must bear the odium of his refusal to put his country first The Gas Boomerang (Cincinnati Enquirer) Strange as it may seem, a part of the gas which Germany has been storing against the day when she might release it on Allied troops has been released to damage her own defenses. Again Allied bombers have dropped their heavy loads on gas manufacturing plants on the European mainland and have set free considerable amounts of poison Within the confines of what used to be thriving German cities. g Thus, while there can be no Nazi charge that| illegal methods are being used by British .or Amer- ican fliers, still the effects of gas warfare are being experienced in at least one large German center. But it is German, not Allied, gas that's causing the trouble. | The possibility of poison gas warfare, outlawed by | international military agreement, is one which has cropped up from time to time since the beginning of the war. England, for a time, was particularly | fearful of the possibility of wholesale blanketing of | | heavily populated areas by gas dropped from German planes.

This was a sharp increase over 1942. The number of work- ers involved in strikes was 3,059,000 an 1l1-month figure for 1942 which exceeded any annual total on record since 1919 There were four nation-wide coal strikes, with a loss of man days four times greater than in 1942 John L.
