"Ti *••> VOL. E&—No. 36 NORTH CANTON, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 1946 ?2!o6'PER,"'X,K'A'K Hobbles On America When nation-widfe strikes, such as those in the coal, rail or steel industries, are called in America they immediately become spectacular and dangerous in the eyes of the citizenry as a whole. Not so with the small strikes, involving a, few dozen or a few hundred persons. Very few Congressmen get angry wires from the voters back home because of those, unless the voter happens to have the poker by the hot end with no place to put it down. Still these so-called "little" strikes are folding back America, with the clogging, hobbling diag of feeep mud or quick-sand. Y Take the case of General Motors, for instance, as stated \the other day by its president, C. E. Wilson. Through all of ijts divisions in the United States and Canada, General Motors that day was feeling the effect of suppliers' strikes in '594 distinct instances. Of course, some were suppliers to more than one division but, after eliminating such duplica-f tions, the net strike count stood at 143. You can see how this can be pretty serious for a company like General Motors, in a mass production industry. Mr. Wilson said that General Motors had expected to make something in the neighborhood of 1,000,000 automobiles and trucks in the period between V-J day to the present. The four-month-long strike in General Motors itself set back this program, but difficulties from suppliers are continuing to retard. Total strike loss so far in General Motors production has been 750,000 vehicles and this loss continues to mount. The company has been forced to reduce its estimate of production for the coming summer months by another 200,000, "because of suppliers' strikes. It appears that America is operating at half-speed or less, for what applies to General Motors is generally true in other industrial situations. And the even greater menace is that the hobble becomes more restrictive as the round-robin procedure goes on. It amounts to "organized unemployment," as Mr. Wilson called it. The Ten Commandments Still Stand "In vain we call old notions fudge And bend our conscience to our dealing, The Ten Commandments will not budge And stealing will continue stealing." 1 James Russell Lowell ^No matter how we may hedge and beat around the bush g^i all sorts of current questions, there',is one fact we all do know—and one issue we can't dodge—we know when we take something that isn't ours—it is stealing—whether it is done by an individual, a group or a nation. We can't alibi theft by saying the person it was stolen from also stole. There is no alibi in that in our system of jurisprudence. "No man or nation has a right to take the law into his own hands." As individuals and as groups we have struggled towards that ideal for centuries. Lincoln expressed it in his great line: "No man is good enough to govern another man without that other's consent." Some of the modem theorists try to rationalize away the creeds by which we were brought up—but no one has ever yet succeeded in wiping, out the Ten Commandments—and they still make the best yardstick for individual .or community life. There is no problem of statecraft today that cannot be held up. to them for judgment. We can make our own decisis on the rights and wrongs of any case without recourse to W outsider Berger Home Struck by Lightening During Storm The house of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Berger on Cole avenue was struck by lightening during the storm Wednesday evening, June 12, at eleven o'clock. The lightening which first struck in a large elm tree in the yard, traveled along a wire clothes line and tore off part of the corner of the house. A cold bolt, it grounded itself on the water pipe after DUrning out the master fuse in the switch box. Mrs. Berger who was in the house alone at the time, was in the kitchen doing some chores when the bolt struck the corner of the breakfast room. Particles of plaster hit her in the face and she was deafened for the moment by the sound of the crash. The smell of burnt powder was in the air and the house filled with smoke, frightened and not knowing it was a cold bolt of lightening, Mrs. Berger summoned neighbors, who had rushed to their porches when they heard the crash knowing it must be somewhere nearby. Because thev could see no fire they were hard to convince that it was her home which had been struck. Mr. Berger, who is a volunteer fireman in the North Canton Fire Department was at the fire station in case of emergency. Summoned from there after being convinced that his house had been struck, the Bergers were reluctant to go to bed .with the house still filled with smoke and the smell of burnt powder in the air, at 4 in the morning an Ohio Power Company employee arrived to fix the fuses, their home, he told them, was one of a long list of calls on his list occasioned by the storm. No fire resulted from the ligh- house was covered by insurance, tening bolt and damage to the Gross Country and Return In One Day MARCH FIELD, CALIF.—SOUNDPHOTO—At dinner in California are (left to right) Col.

Activities in North Canton One Year Ago This Week One year ago this week the United States was fighting in the 185th week of the war with the Japanese and the end seemed a long way off.

LOCAL STUDENTS GRADUATE FROM COLLEGES ,The apologists who try to explain away acts of aggression or tyranny, under the guise of economic necessity, strategric security, or fear of encirclement, are begging the issue. Their explanations that the aggressors have reasons foa- fears are shown in their proper light when held up against the yardstick of the Ten Commandments. The answer to the question of what is right is plain and not subject to compromise. We, as a nation and as individuals, must take our stand on principle and abide by our principles. We must not be swayed by personality or prejudice, but by a" clear sense of what is right and,what is. wrong. As a yardstick by which to measure, the Ten Commandments still stand pre-eminent. The Seeds of Revolution No one knows when the demoralization caused by the present situation in the "United- States as the result of one-sided labor laws, will end. The/*n,oney losses-caused the work-men are incalculable, but they are the least of the1 penalty we are paying for the inability of American citizens to settle their grievances without industrial warfare. We are losing the respect of the world at a time when we Should be .an example" of progress as the. result of intelligent action on our own domestic problems. .-The goal of the American labor-movement today seems to unbridled power. It is already a monopoly that can strangle a nation at will and defy the awards of duly appointed arbitrators, and thumb its nose at the government with impunity. Unless the people awaken and deal with this monopoly, the same as they, have with industrial monoplies, and make them all bend their knees, to laws and courts, we will in a short time find ourself under as ruthless a dictatorship as did the German people. - The seriousness of the present crisis is indicated by a brief news item which states that "delegates representing 80,000 CIO Federal, istate and municipal employes met in Atlantic, .City and repealed .their former declaration that 'it shall.not be the policy of this, organization to engage in strikes ..as. a means of achieving its objectives.'

Public, who norm- ally works at the Hoover factory, went out on strike eight weeks ago. He was then getting if 18.40 a week. Thus far he has lost $387.20 by not working. Also, he has lost about $60.80 more in increased pay offered under the company plan. Altogether the loss has been around $448.00. John has suffered and so has his family, his employer, the folks who sell supplies to the company, the consumer waiting for the product, and the community which depends on thriving business. This we deeply regret. Among 1G50 other Johns and, Marys who normally work at the Hoover factory, there have been1 similar losses—some higher, some! lower. But altogether the losses have now mounted up to "?C3S.8S0 plus $100,320 in increased earnings ofl'err-d under the company plan — a total of $739,200. Prompt settlement of the strike could end the losses quickly, and settlement of the strike on the principles contained in the company's pljn would be both fair and in line with sound business practice.

Hobbles On America
When nation-widfe strikes, such as those in the coal, rail
or steel industries, are called in America they immediately
become spectacular and dangerous in the eyes of the citizenry as a whole.
Not so with the small strikes, involving a, few dozen or a
few hundred persons. Very few Congressmen get angry
wires from the voters back home because of those, unless
the voter happens to have the poker by the hot end with no
place to put it down. Still these so-called "little" strikes are
folding back America, with the clogging, hobbling diag of
feeep mud or quick-sand.
Y Take the case of General Motors, for instance, as stated
\the other day by its president, C. E. Wilson. Through all of
ijts divisions in the United States and Canada, General Motors that day was feeling the effect of suppliers' strikes in
'594 distinct instances. Of course, some were suppliers to
more than one division but, after eliminating such duplica-f
tions, the net strike count stood at 143. You can see how this
can be pretty serious for a company like General Motors, in
a mass production industry.
Mr. Wilson said that General Motors had expected to make
something in the neighborhood of 1,000,000 automobiles and
trucks in the period between V-J day to the present. The
four-month-long strike in General Motors itself set back this
program, but difficulties from suppliers are continuing to retard. Total strike loss so far in General Motors production
has been 750,000 vehicles and this loss continues to mount.
The company has been forced to reduce its estimate of production for the coming summer months by another 200,000,
"because of suppliers' strikes.
It appears that America is operating at half-speed or less,
for what applies to General Motors is generally true in other
industrial situations. And the even greater menace is that
the hobble becomes more restrictive as the round-robin procedure goes on. It amounts to "organized unemployment," as
Mr. Wilson called it.
The Ten Commandments Still Stand
"In vain we call old notions fudge
And bend our conscience to our dealing,
The Ten Commandments will not budge
And stealing will continue stealing."
1 James Russell Lowell
^No matter how we may hedge and beat around the bush
g^i all sorts of current questions, there',is one fact we all do
know—and one issue we can't dodge—we know when we
take something that isn't ours—it is stealing—whether it is
done by an individual, a group or a nation.
We can't alibi theft by saying the person it was stolen
from also stole. There is no alibi in that in our system of jurisprudence. "No man or nation has a right to take the law
into his own hands." As individuals and as groups we have
struggled towards that ideal for centuries. Lincoln expressed
it in his great line: "No man is good enough to govern another man without that other's consent."
Some of the modem theorists try to rationalize away the
creeds by which we were brought up—but no one has ever
yet succeeded in wiping, out the Ten Commandments—and
they still make the best yardstick for individual .or community life.
There is no problem of statecraft today that cannot be
held up. to them for judgment. We can make our own decisis on the rights and wrongs of any case without recourse to

Berger Home
Struck by
Lightening
During Storm
The house of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Berger on Cole avenue was struck by lightening
during the storm Wednesday
evening, June 12, at eleven
o'clock.
The lightening which first
struck in a large elm tree in the
yard, traveled along a wire clothes line and tore off part of the
corner of the house. A cold bolt,
it grounded itself on the water
pipe after DUrning out the master
fuse in the switch box.
Mrs. Berger who was in the
house alone at the time, was in
the kitchen doing some chores
when the bolt struck the corner of
the breakfast room. Particles of
plaster hit her in the face and
she was deafened for the moment
by the sound of the crash. The
smell of burnt powder was in the
air and the house filled with smoke,
frightened and not knowing it was
a cold bolt of lightening, Mrs.
Berger summoned neighbors, who
had rushed to their porches when
they heard the crash knowing it
must be somewhere nearby. Because thev could see no fire they
were hard to convince that it was
her home which had been struck.
Mr. Berger, who is a volunteer
fireman in the North Canton Fire
Department was at the fire station
in case of emergency. Summoned
from there after being convinced
that his house had been struck, the
Bergers were reluctant to go to
bed .with the house still filled with
smoke and the smell of burnt powder in the air, at 4 in the morning
an Ohio Power Company employee
arrived to fix the fuses, their home,
he told them, was one of a long
list of calls on his list occasioned
by the storm.
No fire resulted from the ligh-
house was covered by insurance,

,The apologists who try to explain away acts of aggression
or tyranny, under the guise of economic necessity, strategric
security, or fear of encirclement, are begging the issue. Their
explanations that the aggressors have reasons foa- fears are
shown in their proper light when held up against the yardstick of the Ten Commandments. The answer to the question
of what is right is plain and not subject to compromise.
We, as a nation and as individuals, must take our stand on
principle and abide by our principles. We must not be swayed
by personality or prejudice, but by a" clear sense of what is
right and,what is. wrong. As a yardstick by which to measure, the Ten Commandments still stand pre-eminent.
The Seeds of Revolution
No one knows when the demoralization caused by the present situation in the "United- States as the result of one-sided
labor laws, will end. The/*n,oney losses-caused the work-men
are incalculable, but they are the least of the1 penalty we are
paying for the inability of American citizens to settle their
grievances without industrial warfare.
We are losing the respect of the world at a time when we
Should be .an example" of progress as the. result of intelligent
action on our own domestic problems.
.-The goal of the American labor-movement today seems to
unbridled power. It is already a monopoly that can strangle a nation at will and defy the awards of duly appointed
arbitrators, and thumb its nose at the government with impunity. Unless the people awaken and deal with this monopoly, the same as they, have with industrial monoplies, and
make them all bend their knees, to laws and courts, we will
in a short time find ourself under as ruthless a dictatorship
as did the German people.
- The seriousness of the present crisis is indicated by a
brief news item which states that "delegates representing
80,000 CIO Federal, istate and municipal employes met in
Atlantic, .City and repealed .their former declaration that 'it
shall.not be the policy of this, organization to engage in
strikes ..as. a means of achieving its objectives.' " .
