SUBSCRIPTION RATES : a One. year (In-Advance) <..222-..:-.-<.--20--4.0.. $300 Cie Month, <b re Sinks 30 cents J 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. F Seage s _ JUST WONDERN’ a RS ! ] wonder.as.we journey on, ; i From year.to year, from day to day, i How many’shining landmarks stand Like beacon lights’along the way. ta.

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.

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.
