BRITISH LABOR CAN TAKE IT
The report of Daniel J. Tobin, Vice President of the American Federation of Labor and President of the Brotherhood
of Teamsters, on how England is handling three labor problems—strikes, absenteeism, and working hours—is of wide
interest because of the present labor situation in this country.
In the opinion of the Nationa! Association of Manufacturers,
Mr. Tobin has rendered a public service in telling how our
British ally is handling these situations as they have arisen. out
of the vital production program.
‘There are very few stoppages of work,’ Mr. Tobin said
ima recent radio address which was printed in the American
Federationist. the official AFL magazine. ‘‘Here and there
unions will kick over the traces.and, in violation of the rules
governing their procedure, cease work.
‘In such instances,’ says Mr. Tobin, ‘‘the officers of the
union denounce the strike, force public opinion against the
action, backed by the Minister of Labor, and usually the. strike
lasts but a few days. Where unlawful strikes occur in violation of the rules and against the advice of the officers, _ the
agitators within the union, who, in some _ instances, can influence large numbers, are sought out, and there are methods
by which such disturbers are either sent to other employment,
reshuffled for the draft or military service, or if necessary
placed out of reach of an opportunity to create trouble.
“Absenteeism,” says Mr. Tobin, “‘is another matter that
is seriously dealt with. During my stay in England there were
instances of this before courts and in each case the individual
was what we might call willfully lazy or negligent and could
give no sound reason for absence. In some instances the individual was fined and imprisoned.”’
Believing that labor would not appreciate this statement
on working hours and overtime dages.’ Mr. Tobin stated that
“the average of working hours for all classes of workers in defense employment is about. fifty-three hours. per week. Overtime,”’ he said, “is paid after forty-eight hours.”’ —. ,
It is obvious to those responsible for the conduct of: the
war and for: the production of war materials that’ peacetime
“extras” that labor has been enjoying, have no place in wartime. As in-England these ‘‘extras’’ must be eliminated entirely.or controlled to such an extent that they cannot sabotage.our production .efforts:: Whether or not labor appreciates
what Mr.-TFebin has said about strike control, absenteeism,
‘punishment, and the no-overtime forty-eight-hour work week;
American labor must face the facts and make like adjustments
if.it is to prove that it is-as patroitic and as determined to win
this war as British labor.
f a KEEP IT THAT WAY or
., «More members of the medical.profession are going intd
military service every day. Young: doctors.just out of medical
school, doctors: who have barely established themselves in.the
community,’ and long-established men who would.soon begin
to shift the burden of their practice to new partners, are donning uniforms. For the medical men remaining at home, the
task will become gigantic.:But one and all.they are grimly resolved that essential medical care will be’ provided to civilians.
There are.many ways in. which the layman can:help: in
this medical crisis, He: can guard his own physical wellbeing
by keeping regular hours and eating and sleeping properly.
_He can be tolerant if he is kept waiting for an appointment.
And he should follow stringently the advice of his physician
in .order to return himself to full usefulness as-soon. as. possible. These are the tangible ways in which the layman can
help the doctor.
In addition, there is a vast intangible aid that we can give
our medical. men. We.can keep in mind. the fact that they are
a part of the system of private medicine that has doubled the
span of, life for the ordinary citizen in a comparatively few
years. The doctors in the armed forces, just as the ones staying at home, spent years in training and more years interning
because competence and efficiency-are the. very. foundation
stones of our medical system. There. is no-taint of :“‘ism”’.ar
politics in their blood. The worst disservice we:could'do them
in, their absence would .be to lend ear to crackpot schemes to
inject political control of any form. whatsoever.into the medical
profession: -As it stands today,.American medicine gives us
the best care in the world. Let's keep it that way.

memories there invoked, we gain finer conceptions of life and
duty, a broader tolerance for all mankind and a deeper love for
the ways of life which has produced: the men and women and
the events which we commemorate.
They are indeed golden shrines, these shining days
through which we pass as we follow the destined pathway
through the year; sacred to memories of the past from which
we draw inspiration and confidence for the: present and renewed hope and coprage for the future. We_begin to find:
them very early in the year. The birthdays of Washington and
of Lincoln, then'as the months slip by, Mother’s Day, Fath/er’s Day, Memorial Day and then, in the very heart of each
;American’s year, the Fourth of July. Words, cannot express
the worth of these illumined landmarks of the year, these
glorified shrines which remind us that life can be beautiful,
‘but that in order to be beautiful life must first be free.
Armistice Day comes to recall a dream that faded all too
soon but did not die. Today, that magic dream of a time when
war shall be no more—when peace shall rule the lives and
homes of ‘men, smiles again and as reality trsncends the most
glorious dream, our hopes are brightened and our determinaition to carry-on strengthened and armored for the strife.
. This year Thanksgiving Day must be a time of especial
significance to those at home and to those who are in distant
lands fighting for:the way of life which called it into_being.
~~ We have much to be thankful this. Thanksgiving Day of
1942; a rainbow spans the dark cloud which has so long
gloomed above a war tortured world, light shines through the
mists and.shadows which obscure the way, aur flag, “‘time’s
burst of dawn,”’ carries its message, of peace and good will to
the nations that lie in:bondage, our way of life.goes-forth. to
conquer the world’ in the name of humanity, peace and.liberty
for all mankind. Above.the: din of wars still raging, we hear
the golden over-tones of peace. —-A.Merriam Conner.
