Editor of The Mountaineer;
Enclosed is a copy of a letter to
Senator Bailey and Representative
Weaver that may be of interest
and possibly of some value to your
r 'aders.
EUGENE W. GUDGER,
American Museum of Natural
History.
New York City.
The country is faced with the
most serious condition that has
existed since its formation, and
the "whole world is involved in the
greatest war of all times. Thous
ands of North Carolina men and
millions of other United States
citizens are in training for our
part in this war, many of them
without adequate weapons. Furth
ermore, supplies pledged by us to
our allies, England, Russia and
Australia, are but a fair trickle
of what they should be.
Germany and Japan are fighting
a total and a global war. Their
ammunition industries are prob
ably working 168 hours per week,
and most of ours are working 40
hours a week, unless they are
cajoled by- time and a half on
Saturdays and double times on
Sundays. Billions have been ap
propriated for munitions, guns
tanks, ships and planes. At first
seven billions of dollars were
called for at each crisis; now the
calls are for seventeen billions.
These astronomical sums of mon
ey will not win the war on a 40
hour week. With a 40-hour week,
half as much more on Saturday
as that received on Friday, and

Exclusion Order No. 1, which contains detailed instructions to all
Japanese residents of Bainbridge Island, in Washington, is posted by
soldier. The island is ideally located for fifth column activities and
U. S. officers said order was to forestall possibility of sabotage. A large
number of Japanese have already been moved from coastal areas to a
colony in Owens Valley at Manzanar, Cal.

twice Friday's pay for Sunday's
work, our production is fearfully
slowed up. These hold-up wages
are paid for by American tax
payers. Of our soldiers, the privates,
the men who wield the guns, are
receiving $21 per month. They
work 8, 19, 12, 15 hours daily,
24 in times of crisis. Our mu
nition workers are receiving $10
or more a day, and are demand
ing $15 on Saturdays and $20 on
Sundays. This is a gross and an
abominable inequity. We should
be working one, two or three
shifts a day of eight hours each.
France went on the 40-hour week,
and the results are known to all.
Neither I nor any other scientific
man W'ould have ever gotten any
where, working 40 hours a week.
We cannot win a totalitarian war
on a 40-hour week.
Our president and our federal
government seem more intent on
putting across certain pet social
and economic theories and prac
tices and on preserving our labor
unions and our 40-hour week than
they do on preserving our union
of states, the United States of
America.
Does any one ask "What are
you doing in this total war?" My
answer is that more than a year
ago I filled out my questionnaire
and returned it to the national
roster of scientific and special
ized personnel in Washington. I
am too old to fight in the ranks,
and my brand of scientific knowl
edge is too narrowly specialized
to be of service. This leaves but
two things that I can do and am
doing. One is to do my job here
as thoroughly as I can and on
no 40-hour week either. The oth
er is to put every dollar I can
into "defense bonds" I wish that
they were called "offense bonds."
I have gone deeply into a savings

Now let us go back five or six
years and begin with the abomin
able situation involved in the sit
down strikes; in the censoring of
United States mails by the strik
ers, who said that this thing could
go into a factory and this other
thing could not. I am an old
man and I go. back to the days
of Grover Cleveland, when the
United States mails were held up,
and when things happened P. D.
Q.
Recently when a coai miners'
prospective strike threatened to
hold up our steel production, all
our chief executive did was to
write letters 1, 2, 3 to Jothn
L, Lewis, begging him not to call
a strike. When the Labor board
brought in a decision unfavorable
to a union, the president sent
them back to bring in another,
more favorable to the union. Shad
ows of Grover Cleveland and of
Woodrow Wilson!
Many months ago, it was esti
mated that our war industries had
lost twenty-nine million men-days
of work, by strikes. Strikes are
hampering as heretofore, but we
are faced with this over-time to
get munitions made. And muni
tions are not being turned out in
time to arm our own men or to

ly and inflation stares us in the
face.
As a citizen of these United
States, I am in favor of oullaw
ing all strikes, of putting a ceil

dustries either as closed shops

GOING OUT OF BUSINESS
I, Floyd Lyle, have been in the filling station
and grocery business for ten years. Now that I
am closing out I want to thank all of my friends
and my "two" enemies for their business.
I am going out of business not broke, but as
things look if I had stayed in business much longer
I would have been broke.
Not knowing whether this place will be open
again, I am not responsible for any bills made
against the Mountain Springs Service Station, on
the Balsam Road.
I want to thank Hugh Rabb for the first five
gallons of gas I ever sold and Gilmer Stitles for
the first sack of flour and Holmes Plott for the last

24 HOURS A DAY
7 DAYS A WEEK
OLD STUFF TO US!
We cheered, too, when the Government called
on industry to work twenty-fout hours a day,
seven days a week, until this war is won.
But continuous production is nothing new
to the electric industry. We've always worked
that way - all year round - in peace or war.
That's one big reason why we were frepared
to power the factories that are filling the sky
m 1 .1 l.m Ait1 th Ca
with planes, the eartn wim -
with ships. . ,
Production schedules that stagger the world
are possible only because America is so power
fuIL America has far more electric power than
all the Axis countries combined - five Umes
1"
as much as we had in the last war. And today',
power is quickly available at almost any point
of need because of carefully planned, inter
connected transmission systems.
How has all this been done? Why does the
average household get about twice as much
electricity for its money as it did fifteen years
ago? . . . Simply because America's electric
companies have been built and operated the
American way-hy good business management.
