In our arth lf lusl week we stated that the local power - plant win. nm ln?uretl--UiiC-lBte_. pression was that insurance was carried lo protect engine in debtedness. Thanks to \ed Ford for correcting us. The plant Is insured and preiiiiums run about $300 a year. fl? S Wtttiam Knudsen. in a speech given in New York, has stated in effect that Labor was using the present national need as a club to ehape their organization into form and greater power. Mr. Knudsen. who is head of the Of fice for Production Management, knows what he is talking about. These present strikes againsv vital defense needs is a cowardly attack, not alone against employ ers but against the freedom of the people of America. These coward ly attacks by labor at this time of great need are costing the tax payer not only in billions but in the speedy defense of his freedom. Democracy is a great institution and well wort-h protecting but yon labor leaders beware lest the De mocracy that has sheltered your growth strike you down as the traitor to Mie American cause that you are. Our Constitution guar antees the freedom of any person to do as he sees fit . PROVIDED that) he damages no other person in doing as he sees fit. Labor has, and is. damaging greatly the defense of our freedom while leaders attempt to forward their organization or petty ambition. It is high time that, a halt was called so here and now something should be done and done quickly or every alien labor racketeer in the country will sell us out to the dictators with their . selfishness and greed for power. Labor pos sesses too much power now and we will either curb that immense i PVW*r Or find ourselves in the same position that France is in today. It has been said that Hit ler and Mussolini laugh with glee every time there is a labor strike in America. If this be true, and it' probably is. then Adolf and Benito are iu hysterics right now. H ?
