“We Are Americans First and Trade Unionists Second” WILLIAM GREEN, PRES. A. F. OF L BOUQUET FOR WAR WORKER; DAMON RUNYON, COLUMNIST DOES NOT EARN HIS SALARY BY SMEARING OUR WORKERS Here’s a newspaper columnist who not only refrains from smearing labor but who tells a few stinging truths about working people in wartime. He is Damon Runyon, of the New York Mirror. In a recently printed column Runyon riddled the attacks of labor haters and charged that war workers are the “most abused class in America today.” This may prove interesting to our union men and women. "The shortcomings of a few have been magnified until they are accepted as the faults of the many though the record proves our war workers as a whole have reached a production record unsurpassed in the history of the world,” he said. "Surely, that could not have happened if our workers were guilty of the sins attributed to them by their critics. “Absenteeism is a charge that has been exaggerated by these persons into an evil far beyond the truth. After all, service men get furloughs from their camps, or even from the fighting fronts abroad, because they are sick or tired, and there is no criticism of them. “Yet when war workers, who get just as tired and just as sick, want a little rest, they are berated as wrongdoers. “Millions of these war workers have left their homes and famines behind them, the same as the service men, to go long distances for jobs. Others have taken their families with them, only to find their wives and children must live under the most frightful housing conditions. “The means of relaxation and amusement provided to soldiers is denied to the war workers in most places. In the main, they are so neglected and badly treated that most of the men would be glad to chuck their jobs and join the service. .... , ... , “Also, the high wages you hear about are seldom discussed with refer ence to the deductions—taxes, rents, bonds, insurance, household expenses, doctors’ bills and the like. .... “The sum total left in the hands of the war worker is often not as great as that which remains to the man in the service.” After All, It Is Not Pegler And Rickenbacker Who Are Doing This This is the story of American shipbuilding in cold fig ures. They demonstrate the spirit and patriotism of the in- . dustrial and shipyard workers of the United States for whom no toil or sacrifice is too great: April June September December March May 1939 1940 1941 1942 1942 1942 1942 1943 1943 One ship every thirteen days; One Ship every seven days; One ship every 3% days; One ship a day; Two ships a day; Three ships a day; Four ships a day; Five ships a day; Six ships a day.
