Thinking
Out Loud
By H. M. L.
Two Councilmen, Acting
As Taxpayers, File Suit
There is cheering news in the
fact that Seafarers Union has diecided not to strike. The news rereturn to work
while their preposterous claims
are mediated fails to state the reagon for this abrupt change of
heart. It is obvious, . however,
that they changed their minds after the President had ordered
three of the ships to be manned
by what, in the ‘‘good old days”’
used to be called ‘“‘strike breakers.’ Of course, when the government in dire extremity resorts to
this practice, it isn’t called by that
ugly name. At any rate the twentythree ships involved were loaded
and dispatched. Uncle Sam’s defense efforts are not balked in this
instance by a radical labor organization.
We think the Président must
have been in a desperate state of
mind when he declared that those
ships must, and would sail. It is
decision he has made which _indicates that he is becoming ‘‘fed
up” with the malicious antics of
organized and debauched abor organizations. The first was in California ,when he ordered the U. S.
Army to take over a struck airplane manufacturing plant.
It is such action as this that
brings home to Americans’ the
menacing world conditions we face.
The extremity is such that our easy ,
going president. acts. As commander in chief of the Army and the
Navy, the President has now served notice on all those who would
obstruct our defense program, that
he will. stand no more nonsense.
The Army and Navy are at hand to
break strikes that threaten’ the
country’s fsecurity. The fair haired
child has kicked papa’s shins once
too often. When the child throws
a tantrum now, it is not the learned doctor that is called. It ist
“Nurse, bring me the strap.”
Whether these decisions herald
the day when there will-be real
co-operation and coordination
among both employers and employess, whether as a matter of
choice, or necessity, is perhaps
doubtful. It was only a few months
ago that the President declared
that we could maintain our ‘“‘social gains’? and at the same time
make an all-out defense effort.
This was extremely good news to
lefft-wingers everywhere. Times
have changed since ‘that. lighthearted remark. The sailors in this
recent instance have been denied
some of their freedom of action.
They cannot maintain their social
gains when there is involved the
scuttling of the country’s shipping.
The air craft workers have learned the same lesson, A strike vote,
overwhemingly in the affirmative,
has been taken in one of the largest plants in the United States, at
San Diego. But there is no strike.
Work continues pending mediation.
One thing about recent mediation results is not yet clear in anything this writer has read concerning it. There was the case of the
big building concern which turned over its plant to the government rather than acquiesce in the
union’s demand for a closed shop:
and the check off system, as recommended by the Mediation Board.
Now, when the government finally took over this plant, did the
government, or the Navy agree to
We would
like to know. For there is a principle involved that afifects the
fundamental liberty of every citizen. Must a man join a union in
order to work and in order to
live? If so we would all like to
know about it. But not a word has
erept into print, or least none that
we have seen, regarding the
working agreement the Navy has
with the shipbuilding unions in
that particular ship yard.
We do not believe that the great
majority of Americans wish to see
the socialization of industry, government cartels, labor union control of manufacturing or agriculture, collective farming, or collective anything else. We do beHieve that the great majority still
