There are some stories that neither The Citizen nor any other paper uses, but the factor of friendship is not the measuring rod that The Citizen employs in deciding whether or not a story should be published. Neither does The Citizen go out of its way to use a story just because it concerns a man whose attitude toward: this paper is not | friendly. If it is used in his case, it would be used also if the central figure is a friend. That is the only way to be fair, but that very fairness causes many a complaint. The Literary Digest, when at the height of its | popularity, remarked that it was positive of | its fairness when each side to a matter un- der discussion accuséd! the! Digest of favor- ing the other side. HtTAL The same thing has hapaenarl to: The Citizen frequently. A! short time ago one side to-a local question of great importante declared The Citizen was supporting ‘the ¢ other side, while that side accused The Cit, izen of being unfair. Yet the only" cou The Citizen pursued was to explain both sides fully, so that its readers could arrive at their own opinions on the question under | discussion. ahh. He is a presuming man, right prejudiced, who assumes the position he takes is always right. even farther than that: they assert there | is only one side to a question. and that they are on that side. be a question without two sides, and they completely, banish the thought they May be on the wrong side. But thé majority of Key Westers are fair- minded, and only a few days;ageThe Citizen! Tet a young man who represented that attitude in a ihighést degree: "He said ““Thotigh T featizd that the story ifi Th Citizen may hurt me should I chance to run for office, yet lam aware also.it.

Gossip is an illusive, substance. but dangerous, SLAVERY REVIVES Whether the institution _of, slavery originated in warfare may be disputed but the enforced labor of thousands of foreign- ers in Germany can easily become slavery | if war lasts very long, or if Hitler wins the | struggle. 4 In fact, the foreigners now transported wholesale the Reich, are,) for, all prac- tical purip , the slaves the Nazis decree and live where.and how the Nazis let them exist. If Germany runs short of fuel they will | eat less and less. Their tasks will not dimin- ish. Consequently, they will slowly starve while the “super race” feeds its soldiers and their families. The deportation of workmen into Ger- many, from the fringe of conquered coun- | tries, ought to remind Americans of the fate | that awaits any people who deal with Hit- ler and his agents. There can be no faith in the word of the Nazis and without con- | fidence there can be no peace. stdtes, are | Ruml’s tax plan may be a good thing, but its characterization, ‘“‘Pay-as-you-go”™, is inappropriate. The Citizen knows a good many people who are doing a lot of going and little or no paying. PETE E ie is a far better designation: “ Pegs TYPEWRITING © Stenographers and typists may think | that they have trouble with the less than 50 keys on the standard American typewriter but they ought to try the Japanese language machine that has 2,340 keys, and 800 extra | ones.

KEYS OPENS: The. average foreman of today acts as his own negotiator with top management in order to get pay and recognition com- mensurate with his efforts and ex- perience. In all too many factories, only those supervisors who are blessed with gifted tongues, or who know the right people, or who have the desire as well as the physical stamina to mix after hours, can hope to realize adequate rewards. In such plants, foremen who even possess superior technical and supervisory ability, but lack comparable promotional tech- nique, work under a discouraging | handicap. When any foreman discovers that ; he cannot get equitable treatment, | then inevitably, his morale begins to f suffer. Unfortunately, this mental at- { titdde always communicates itself to } those working under him, Consequent- fly, their morale bogs down, This in \ turn materially hampers both quality fang quantity. of output, for produc- tioh schedules can hardly be achieved {and maintained when morale is poor. Poremen should unionize to help create plant-wide stability and indus- } trial democracy wherever they work. By so doing they safeguard their t = | basic rights'and promote their indi- vidual and-group welfare and ad- vancement through mutual aid. And finally, they will secure the same manifold and proven advantages now enjoyed by the rank and file. | MR. DESVERNINE CHALLENGES: Technical and managerial ability al- ways supersede the “gifted tongue” in industry’s quest for leadership. | Industry is interested in increased production through superior techno- logical skills, elimination of waste and reduced costs, thereby providing low costs to consumers and wider |, distribution of its products. Foremen, by virtue of’ their managerial fune- !"tions, have the opportunity to dem- onstrate these talents. Unionization | foremen would: (1) stifle initia- tive; (2) dilute individual achieve- ment (by standardization and outside jeontrols); (3) hamper advancement | of singenious younz men ‘(who have |{provided industry with the know j};now); (4) destroy the vital ex- | ‘ changes between employee and man- jagement so necessary to continued ‘industrial’ progress. MR. KEYS REPLIES: It is fantastic to state that industry will be social- ized? merely. sbecause foremen are Sriven into unionization to protect fheir rights; Why.-permit employers fo protect themselves by joining the Association’ of Manufacturers but for- bid foremen to belong to their own association. » Incontrovertible evidence of the foreman's desire to settle his par- ticular problems equitably with man- agement is the rapid growth of the absolutely independent union, the Foreman’s Association of America. Its purpose is to safeguard minimum individual rights. Members are urged to be loyal and conscientious toward their employers, improve themselves by self-education, show initiative and work hard for advancement. Should Foremen Unionize? As debated by Raonl E. Desvernine Member of the Law Firm of Garey, ration of Americaz ization of foremen would mean—in | principle—the socialization of indus- in_operations. Foremen, as “leaders”, perform managerial functions. Through them management participates in opera- jemployees. Foremen customarily have the power to hire and discharge. They are, therefore, part of management ployer-employee status is recognized are expressly excluded from union labor and collective bargaining con- tracts Their unionization would: (1) de- part from established union labor practice; (2) deny heretofore accept- ed pri ciples of employer-employée relations; M3), deny owners the right to have their business run by mah- agers of their selection; controls:and interferences of outside union organizers into strictly man- agerial functions. These new leaders would not rep- resent employees; would not repre- represent but themselves! For owners to lose this last vestige in management is worse than’ State Socialism, under which the owner has at least a remote voice in the selection of management by ballot. Industry cannot be held responsible for war or post-war production if it is stripped of its managerial faculties! MR. KEYS CHALLENGES: Man- agement still exercises every single right with one exception. The Wag- ner Act stopped employers from abusing and endangering the whole system of free enterprise by exploita- tion of labor. Foremen, too, suffered from the short-sighted policy of unrestrained greed which was responsible for the unionization of all workers. But an erroneous interpretation of the Wag- ner Act temporarily deprived fore- men of proven benefits—collective | bargaining. of the great majority of foremen will fire or to make company policies. They are strictly employees and are entitled to protection. MR. DESVERNINE REPLIRBG: | Mamufacturer’s associations are“pure- lly experience-exchanges and statis- tical and research agencies. They never dictate policies binding “on anyone or control the activities ‘of |any member. The proposed “Foreman’s Associa- tion” is designed to be a union in which outside paid organizers will dictate the employment conditions, and will undoubtedly assert exclusive collective bargaining rights for all foremen. If it is not that, why not be can- did and so state? justify their pay, will claim these prerogatives which would managerial functions and responsi- bilities and lead to the socialization of industry.
