BACK TO WORK:
Wildcat Miners' Strike
Damages Union Cause
THE WAR Labor Board has ordered that the,
wildcat anthracite coal strikers go back to
work immediately and submit their grievances
to the processes provided in their working con-
tract.
John L. Lewis has denounced the Tri-District
General Mine Committee as an "unauthorized,
self-constituted, constitutionally illegal group,"
and declared that the strikers must go back to
work under exactly the conditiona prevailing
when they walked out.
The question left hanging by these announce-
ments is whether the strikers-estimated at
10,000-will go back to work or defy both their
union officers and the WLB order.
The men responsible for the strike that has
tied up an estimated 35 per cent of the anthra-
cite production for almost three weeks-have
committed a greater act of treason than the
most destructive saboteur.
THE INSTIGATORS of the strike cannot be
aware that their actions will cause an under-
minini of labor's position in the country.
If the stikers vote to continue the strike the
WLB will be forced to take more drastic steps,
which means that an appeal will be made to
President Roosevelt to take over the mines. Such
an act will furnish a stopper for union actions
during the war.
It will be a veritable stab in the back for the
progress that the mine unions have made. Just as
go ernment and labor have begun to make an
advance in arbitrary settlement of disputes, inde-
pendent wildcat strikers throw a wrench into the
machinery. Each additional day that the strike
remains unsettled, the labor of 10,000 men is .
perishing. Those lost man hours can never be re-
covered.
C00PERATION between the government and
labor can never be accomplished if President
Roosevelt is forced to take the mines under con-
trol. And yet labor cries for recognition and
rights.
The government does not want to take mine
control out of union hands as long as war pro-
duction proceeds unhindered. But if this strike
is continued in defiance of the UMW leaders
and the WLB, there is no alternative.
And labor will be the loser.

PEARSON'S
MERRY-G-RUND
WASHINGTON- Due in part to the fact that
the U.S. Navy had not had opportunity to
profit from the experience of engaging in any
major naval battles between 1812 and 1942, some
of our biggest and fastest ships now under con-
struction are being revised.
The main factor being changed in the blue-
prints is extra precaution against fire.
This is the lesson learned from the aircraft
carriers Wasp and Lexington, and the cruiser
Boise, all swept by fire after the direct damage
of battle.
Since then the Bureau of Ships has made a stu-
dy of fire hazards, finding that even an all-steel
vessel can be swept by fire when tremendous
heat is engendered, as from explodig shells and
burning oil and gasoline.
New plans call for elimination of linoleum
flooring, substitution of spun glass for cork in
insulation, decrease in paint, and elimination of
interior woodwork. Also, there will be larger fire
hose and better fire fighting equipment generally.
Navy hopes to put an end to the grief of losing
ships by fire after they have survived the battle.
Note: In the War of 1812, fire was a real hazard
to wooden ships. But in the Civil War the only
real engagement was between the Monitor and
Merrimac which were not much bigger than mod-
ern escort vessels. In the Spanish-American War,
there were no real naval battles and only one
life was 'lost at Santiago, when an American
sailor fell down a hatch on the Texas. In the
World War, the U.S. Navy got in too late to par-
ticipate in any naval activities othe'r than con-
voy work.
THE OTHER day, Mrs. Harold Walker, mother
of Democratic glamor girl Evie Robert, was
.getting into the elevator on an uper floor of
the Mayflower Hotel. While waiting, a distin-
guished looking gentleman came up and also
punched the elevator button.
The elevator door opened and the operator
said: "Up or down?"
"Down," chorused both Mrs. Walker and the
gentleman.
"Well, who rang up?" asked the operator.
"I didn't ring up," chorused both prospective
passengers.
"Someone rang up," said the operator.
Both passengers got in, and the elevator pro-
ceeded down.
"You know," mused the distinguished gentle-
man, "maybe I did press that up button. I'm
alwdys doing the wrong thing in Washington. If
I were just back in Omaha.. ." he half moaned,
"but in Washington-everything goes wrong."
It was William Jeffers, the Rubber Czar, who
has to make 800,000 tons of synthetic rubber
sprout where none ever grew before.
FROM a political point of view, the President
has one fault to find with his old friend Post-
master General Frank Walker: Frank loves to
carry the mail.
He has fallen in love with the Post Office De-
partment, and doesn't relish politics anymore.
He even talks about his Department in cabinet
meetings.
One day when a Budget Bureau official was
checking over various government departments
at the White House he told the President what
an interest.Walker was taking in the Post Office
and how it was one of the best run aenci in

.EDGAR HOOVER, becoming an expert on
crime, warns us of the heavy responsibility
upon the family. He says that religion is the solu-
tion to the mounting junior crime increase, and
in doing so, draws a distinction between the -
"Gospel" and "Justice." Can we preach the good
news of religion and not preach justice also? Of
course, such is impossible. What he means, per-
haps, is that our homes need to stress the love
of God, the affirmatives of faith and the good-
ness of our society and should give less attention
to a criticism of the social order. There is room
for argument here, but his thesis of a positive
faith rather than a negative knowledge is one
which everyone will endorse.
Youth in their religious education fall between
the home and the church. The home says, "Let
the church teach our children the basic truths
about the moral law, the spiritual significance of
honor and the love of God." As for our homes, we
are unprepared, our training leaves us lost at
the task of religious leadership and besides, we
sustain ministers to save men's souls while we
feed their bodies. There is little hope for children
so reared and delinquency will continue to in-
crease while that attitude prevails. On the other
hand, the church, being dependent on benevo-
lence as a means of support, must spend so much
time at preserving the organization, creating a
program and collecting the budget that one of
the last tasks performed is the religious education
of parents and children.
A SOLUTION often proposed is that of asking
the schools to "take over." This sounds logi-
cal, but why excuse the two older institutions, the
home and the church, which are directly respon-
sible? Such a procedure would not seem to be
good social control nor wise education.,Aldefinite
family rehabilitation throughout the nation, in-
cluding religion in the home and a community-
centered church influence would bring large re-
turns. In this connection, marriage offers a
place to begin. The traditional view of the church
is that mating is an educational procedure which
ends at the altar where the sacrament of mar-
riage is celebrated. In our Western culture, a
shift from marriage as an expressional activity
for the convenience of two persons, to marriage
as a sacrament entered into before God for the
perpetuation of the race and the high privilege of
rearing and educating children, would take us to
the very root of the problem.
FOLLOWING that, our religious leaders, social
workers, marital advisors and teachers might
well take a leaf out of the Orthodox Jewish family
life. In so doing, we would make each father the
priest of his family, demand that the minister
teach the parents how to train their children and
fuse the teaching and worship functions of home
and church.

eight years Jim Farley was in- the -Cabinet I re-
member only once that he ever talked about the
Post Office in cabinet meeting."
Privately, Frank Walker doesn't agree with the
President about Jim Farley, and thinks that
Jim's work is one reason why the Post Office is
running so smoothly today. However, there is no
question but that Walker has done an outstand-
ing job.
When you consider the shortage of man-
power, the drain of the draft on postal employ-
ees, the difficulty of getting Army trucks to
supplement mail delivery, it is a miracle that -

Democracy In Action
THE STUDENT at Michigan can
fill himself with a varied assort-
ment of liberal arts courses during
his four years 'on campus. 'In the
process he can even become an
arm-chair intellectual on the vir-
tues of democracy. He can hold
himself an authority on Rousseau
or ancient democratic Athens and
go puffling, along thinking he has
all the answers. But all he has are
a lot of noble concepts and very
little realization of what these con-
cepts are like in action.
Fortunately on our campus there
exists an organization whose guid-
ing principle is "democracy in ac-
tion." It puts your metaphysical
id~eas on racial equality, religious
toleration, economic security into
ways of living and working to-
gether. Speak all you want at your
Interracial Committees and Post-
War Councils on these problems but
you never have more than multiple
fine sounding words and phrases.
The many cooperative houses offer$
a blueprint for actual participation
in the democratic principles we all
demand from this war. Here is an
organization where colored, white,
Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, Com-
munistic, Pacifistic students get to
understand one another, get to see
what the other fellow is all about.
Their plan is learning democracy
through living and eating and
working witp the other fellow who
perhaps doesn't share your personal
views. What better way is there to
attain democracy? What better way
to achieve the needed integration
of different and diversified groups,
races and peoples? Every student
can find what is most necessary to
his personal definition of democra-
cy by living in one of the many
cooperative houses. Some find eco-
nomic security, others racial equal-
ity, others political or religious tol-
eration.
TODAY the cooperative houses
are faced with the problem of
continuing to function. They should
continue, even grow in importance
during these turbulent days for .
they have many of the answers to
the perplexing problems of our age.

Response to 'Vanities'
Aids Scholarship Fund
THAT the students of this University can really
carry out a successful enterprise was amply
proved Friday night when Victory Vanities was
presented to the campus.
Pan.-Hel and the Interfraternity Council origi-
nated the idea for an all campus stunt show forh
the benefit of the Bomber Scholarship fund. Each
member of both organizations put forth their
eve:"y effort to make the production a success.
From the manner in whic4 the show was received
by the large audience it was a hit.
The Bomber Scholarship fund is being built
up now to provide scholarships to those stu-
dents returning to the University after the
war. The Vanities contributed a sizeable
amount to the fund. This fact plus the success
of t %haw will mar it one lon& tob e remem.-
