If The Shoe Fits You, Wear It Various editors have expressed their contempt, for the slacker who seeks to dodge military duty on flimsy pretexts such' as physical disability, dis-ability, dependent grandparents, mothers-in-law, etc. But to my mind they have overlooked a picture of the most pussilanimous pup in the whole catalog of crime that is, the "industrial "in-dustrial slacker," who, during this time that tries men's souls falls heir to a lucrative position with a corpor-ationon corpor-ationon account of younger or more able-bodied men obeying the call of their country, andthen lays down on the job and does just barely enough work to get by and draw his pay check, thinking that the serious drain upon the ranks of the industrial indus-trial workers makes it hard for the corporations to obtain an adequate supply of efficient help. It is nothing less than a .crime for any man, not called to the front, to lay down on his job simply because men to take his place are not plentiful. plenti-ful. Railroad men, especially at the ! moment, are as much a part of the i military program of this great and mighty nation as the man who shoulders shoul-ders a gun and sails for the front. The man who does his level best at home,' on the railroads, on the farm or in the factory, is just as much of a patriot as the man with a gun. But the man who. by subterfuge, subter-fuge, flimsy pretexts, laziness and I inefficiency fails to do bis duty is as j much a traitor to his country as Bon-1 edict Arnold, and deserves only the utmost contempt and calumny of his follow countrymen. The "industrial ' slacker" should be conscripted, re- 1 gardless of ago. and put to work plowing fire guards on the railroad j with his nose or pulling spikes with j j his teeth. M. K. &- T.
