CLOSED SHOP AGAIN
Objection of our ruling class to labor
unions and the closed shop is nothing
new. In fact, they seldom have new
ideas they merely pursue the old ideas
inherited from previous generations
in the belief that what father didn't
like must be something bad to be
eliminated if possible.
During the first World War, even
in the camps in France our army of
ficers were parties to a plan to put
organized labor in its place when
they returned to America. The plan
appeared good, and details were all
worked out, but somehow when they
got back here it all went haywire.
Organized labor was not as vulnerable
as they had been led to believe. Our
industrial big shots had misled them,
and there were too many doughboys
really interested in labor organiza
tions. The American Legion, with lead
ers opposed to labor found themselves
unable to really disband labor unions.
It has, however, taken 20 years to de
velop real opposition to the sentiments
of their leaders among the rank and
file of the legion.
This war only repeats the opposi
tion of army officers to organize la
bor, supported by the lawyers who get
themselves elected to Congress. There
is and will be a determined effort to
cripple union labor, using the closed

Fresh bread, first for the fighter,
then for the service troops, is the plan,
fulfilled, of the Quartermaster Corps
bakery units of the Pacific Sixth Army,
from Australia to the Philippines.
Following the Sixth in its fighting
ever closer to Japan, bakers baked
bread under canvas, in old abandoned
buildings, in a cock fight arena, and
in the rain and mud of Pacific tropical
islands.
At Kiriwina Island, when the QM
bakery was confronted with a dwind
ling yeast supply a sergeant made a
ferment from cocoanut milk, and it
worked. When the fighting shifted to
Arawe, New Britain, bakers pulled
brown loaves from the ovens the second
day after landing from an LCT.
Unable to find water at Saider, New
Guinea, the bakery platoon dug a well
and struck it pure and clear at a
depth of 20 feet. Since then most bak
eries set up their own water system,
At the Admiralty Islands, bakers
became construction workers, putting
up a prefabricated building, cementing
the floor, tinning the roof, screening
the sides. With convenient dough
troughs on wheels, steam box and air
conditioning, baking proceeded in up
to-date form.
The Sixth Army's bread was drop
ped from the air to supply front-line
troops going into Aitape. Bakers pack
ed a 4 lb. oil field load in tin cans
formerly used by Australians to pack­
shop as a lever. It sounds good and is
a convincing argument.
The workman who says he does not
believe in unions, does not want to
join a union in order to work can,
we think, be compared to the so-call
ed conscientious objector who does
not believe in wars and killing his
fellow men. If he can prove the rea
sonableness of his objection he is
given other duties in other words, he
can work somewhere else in the war
effort.
So, too, with the workman who does
not believe in unions. Just let him
work somewhere else. Let him work
in a nonunion industry at whatever
wages he can get. That's all he wants,
and that's all he will get. Why inter
fere with his independence if he wants
it that way?
WHAT NEXT?
Standard equipment for more than
80 years, the caboose cupola—the
freight conductor's watchtower—is
fast yielding to the bay window, Busi
ness Week says, explaining that the
cupola has outlived its usefulness with
the increase in height of freight cars
and no longer affords visability.

Griesmer Reports
Hollant Relief
Famine and disease were so wide
spread in Holland even before Nazi
capitulation, the German military au
thorities were prevailed upon to per
mit members of an Allied relief council
to pass through enemy lines under a
white flag, it is revealed in a report
of American Relief for Holland re
ceived by Mr. William P. Griesmer,
member of the Executive Committee
of the Hamilton and Butler County
Community-War Chest, through the
National War Fund.
In anticipation of the early libera
tion of northwestern Holland, arrange
ments had been made by the council to
have a fleet of mobile units, equipped
with food, medicines and medical per
sonnel, follow immediately behind the
liberating army, said the report.
Conditions became so critical and
the number of deaths from starvation
increased to such proportions that an
agreement was finally reached with
the German military commander to
call forward the emergency relief

of dropping from planes.
On Biak Island, a bakery unit suf
fered its first strafing by a Jap plane.
Working a 24-hour shift, bakers ex
tinguished lanterns, covered oven burn
ers and dashed for their foxholes. Jap
plane guns drilled holes in every oven,
forcing operations to shut down. But
at dawn the platoon commander got
a portable welding machine, and that
afternoon, the bakery was doing busi
ness as usual.
There was fresh bread at Noemfor
Island, in Wakde, at Toem, on Sansa
por and Moratai Islands. Here the bak
ery unit went in on D-Day plus 1.
At Leyte, Philippine Islands, bak
ers used an old wood burning oven
Because of bogged roads due to tor

bread from the storage tent to a place
accessible for trucks. Filipinos carried
bread on their backs up a rugged peak

Luzon was at Rosales. Others baked
at Tarlac, Dagupan, San Fernando,
San Fabian, Quezon City, Paranque

baked at a commercial bakery, now
operated mostly by civilians. Bakery
operations extend to other Philippine
Islands, and to islands north along the
road to Tokyo.

Washington, D. C.—The denazifica
tion of German labor organizations in
the American zone of occupation is
now in its final phase, the War De
partment reports in a seview of the
labor policies of the Allied Military
Government and the progress being
made in carrying them out.
The initial step toward restoring
free labor in Germany is the complete
liquidation of the German Lebor Front
which was the Hitler-created vehicle
for the elimination of democratic
trade unions, the War Department
said.
At the same time the Manpower
Division of the United States Group
Control council is engaged in the tre
mendous task of channeling labor into
the industries which have been given
priority for restoration, such as mines,
railroads and public utilities.
It is impossible to re-establish free
labor overnight in a country where
most of the industrial facilities are
reduced to rubble, where the workers
are still dazed by the destruction we
have wrought and where thousands
of young men are still prisoners of
war, it was pointed out.
The German Labor Front is now
closed and is in the process of final
liquidation. American authorities are
removing and excluding from posi
tions in the labor field all members of
the Nazi party and all supporters of
Naziism in these offices because of ad
ministrative necessity, convenience or
expediency.
