Of course, all interest is turned on war jobs, but the right of the American worker to have and hold a Job in the normal business of the country is more important In a way, because it comes not always be the principal concern of the United States, and even before the emergency came free workers were suffering the same exploitation and denial of their . rights in the fulfillment of a very apparent political understanding between the government and the unioneers. When peace comes will it be accepted that a man- must join St union and obey the whims and serve the political ambitions of the union bosses as a condition prior to employment? That seems to be the plan, for that state of affairs was being, imposed wherever the issue arose in private industry long before Hitlpr made this war. hadT American holiday, his Labor Day address, we are celebrating the rights of free laboring men and women. Now,' of course, the president was chtllenging Hitlerism and he certainly iicl lay It. on the line, but at the same time he was pointedly ignoring a more imminent man-ac- e to the rights of free laboring men and women which has been fostered by hfs government for eight, 'years and more at home. Not one word was uttered by the president or William Green or any other orator of. the day about the betrayal of millions of American workers into the hands of men who forbid them to work at thejr lawAir.

' The record of this betrayal may be found in the' testimony taken by the Dies Committee and other committees of Congress" and in the back numbers of these dispatches and the disclosures, for the most part, have, not even disputed,' much less refuted. And President Roosevelt's own national government has not only ignored its duty to protect these persecuted and exploited millidns but has actively hounded and herded them into And, with a cynicism that would do bondage. credit to Hitler, himself, this government has had the effrontery to speak of this betrayal as labors . . The task of defeating Hitler, which the president mentioned in those words, is not a private obligation of the union bosses whom the president flattered so. It is everybodys fight and to beg it is pathetic that a president shauld.'-havthe-- unioneers not to sabotage the national defense. But if thp reward for winning this fight is to be enslavement under native Nazis and Communists. operating under union charters with the force of the. government behind them, free Americans will surely have an Uneasy feeling that they are being sold out in the rear as they e forenfn-e-nem- gains.,',' yr He has abolished trade unions as ruthlessly he has persecuted religion. the president said of Hitler, ignoring the fact that here at home the unions, with his own powerful assistance, have abolished the rights of free Americans, employes and employers alike, and have only begun to If these and other mocking declarations of the day. masking some sly political intent that van orriy be surmised, had been qualified by warning to the union fuehrers, Gauleiters - and Brown Shirts, it would have been possible to hope, that, in time, the government would remember the forgotten and trampled rights of free American men and women.

"There has never been a moment in our history, the president said, when Americans were not readv to stand up as free men and fight for their rights. ' , May it please Cod that the president of the United States and the union politicians will take those words to heart nor make it necessary for Americans to act upon them. n a l That seems to me to be the large pattern which the war has now taken. Fundamentally, it Is a pattern which can be made threatening 4o Hirter and in time, fatal to him. Basically. it is favorable to those who are resisting Hitler. The business at hahd is to realize the possibilities of this situation and to follow- - them up w ith increasing constantly strength. This means that BritStates United the ain, Russia and must work all around the fence with numbers of ships, planes, tanks and other equipment. British airplane production was the best of the-w- ar It last is running ahead of ours in Ahe United States. This enables the RAF to hold the line and to drive ro 'In somewhat around the French coast. Bombing has value in harassing Germany internally, arfd the more effective this can be made the more quickly Germany can be worn down. In the Middle East American supplies re extremely important now. One of the most difficult problems will be supplying the Russian line. ' available None -- of the-thr- ee routes offers --a -- simple solution of These problems of supply. But it is vital for a solution to be found, because Hitler must not be allowed to succeed in his present effort to break through the encircling wall on the east. The task is. first, production, upon which much emphasis is how being placed. Second, it is transportation, especially shipping. The lines of supply are long and dangerous. The Atlantic line from the United States to England is only one of them. At one time it was under severe attack. but recent figures show a great improvement. This line of supply, at jirescnt, is Just about equal to tile load placed on it. But this is only one of the shipping problems. . The line to the Middle East frem both Britain and the Unit-eStates is going to require ' a vast tonnage if the volume of supplies going over it is to amount to anything, because of the long hauls involved. The same applies to the line from Labor Situation Bad But Not Hopeless - lh Roger W.Babson per--haps, -- d the United 'States to Vladivostok. Shipping will become an even more acute difficulty as American production increases. We are not able to get the most out of our shipping at the present time. Convoying is the safest method, but it' is slow and it means many ships working at only about a third of their capacity. aie inDelays in turnarounds creased, as ships must wait for convoys .to assemble, andjvhen a large number of ships reach a given port together they cannot unload, as rapidly as-- it arrivals were spaced more evenly.

BABSON PARK, Massachusetts, Sept. 6. The labor situation in certain sections of the United States and Canada is very provoking. I do not Already I note a tendency on the part of careful investors to sell out their holdings in industries labor leaders have recently secured control. They know what has happened to dividends under such conditions. It w ill probably take years for the motor industry to again earn what it did previous to 1941. Neither wage workers nor stockholders will get as much in food, clothing, and shelter as before it was CIO unionized. ' say "serious' because only 15 per cent of all " orkers are engaged in defense production; while at the worst only a very, very small percentage of the total is on strike at any time. Strikes make good feed fer new They always increase circulation, and,- - thence, naturally are played up for all - they will stand.

The leaders of both are desperately competing to see who can get the most for their members w ithout any regard for the nation's welfare. Unfortunately, themore radical group the CIO has the sounder program; while the more the AFL has an set- e up. The CIO organizes one industry Independently of what thp workers do. For instance, under the CIO, the Detroit electricians who w'ork in the auto industry are in the same union with the auto machinists, auto painters, etc. But under the AFL, all the Detroit electricians are in the Electrical Workers Union, while aij the Detroit painters are in the Painters Unirm, irrespective of whether they workron. autos or houses.
