t .-- v,^.* .-i -. J Page Six THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CLINTON, S. C. Thursdoy, April 10, 1941 TODAY... TOMORROW •By Don Robinson STRIKES—Patriotism The fight being waged between CIO and AFL unions is just a tea party compared with the battle .which will rage between unions and Ameijican patriots unless this strike tmsiness is brought to a quick halt. When certain union leaders make it apparent that they consider the strength of their organizations more important than the strength of their country, when they show that theyj are willing ^o endanger our nation by j bogging down on defense production, in order to test their power, it looks! as thought the American public may have to rout out those leaders be fore it attacks any other enemy of democracy. < So far, I don’t think the thousands of union members who have agreed to strike are so much to blame. They have been blinded into thinking that they must do what 'the unions^ tell them or all of the progress they have made in recent years will be lost. But actually, they are taking a big jump a backward direction right now m by chancing the loss of the sympathy of the American people. health and tnusic;_.

Da- GITLT—Sacrifice j The unions aren’t 100 per cent guilty for the loss of millions of man-! hours on defense work. In some cases they have a sound argument for their actions by pointing out that an in dustry, producing all it is capable of producing, and getting a fair profit on its production, should share its increased income with labor. Take the Bethlehem Steel problem. A few weeks ago, when the union agreed to have its members go back to work while negotiations were car ried on, Bethlehem executives were Kighly pleased with themselves be cause the strike had been called off — and they hadn’t given labor a darned thing! But when the union finally struck in earnest, it wasn’t to better the condition of Bethlehem workers but to strengthen its own organization— to get the steel company to throw out a local union and to permit an Poster being displayed by the local state employment office in connec tion with a nation-wide effort to register workers for defense jobs. Those being asked to register are the unemployed and those employed workers who have skills needed in certain defense industries but are not using snsh skills in their present jobs.
