. Frank Knox, Secretary of the Navy, ia one of those who,
notwithstanding these facts, has not lost his faith in Amer-
ican labor. After a tour’of Michigan ordnance plants Where
production has been running ahead of schedule, he was full
of praise for the fine work the men were dging. He said they
acted and performed like true Americans.
Asked what he thought of the 53,000 coal miners recent-
ly called out for a brief time from the captive mines by John
L. Lewis, he replied he believed the vast percentage of them
were also sound at heart, willing to do their part in the
country’s defense.

There he hit the headpin. No American workman likes
to put his country in a hole. If the labor bosses were less
active at stirring up trouble, there would be none.
This is especially true of the workman with a family. It
is no pleasure for him to go on strike and come home with
no pay envelope or simply with a scant strike allowance, to
find his wife looking grave because she has had to spend
her last silver at -the grocery store, and to hear little John
needs a new pair of shoes, and Mary needs some stockings,
and the rent is coming due. and—and—and . .
All that means sinking into worrisome debt or eating up
the savings so painfully accumulated against the evil day
when sickness may invade the home.
A Cincinnati newspaper typographer once summed up the
whole situation when he said: . •
" “If married men in the unions had two votes against a
single vote for each of the bachelors, there hardly ever
would be a strike.”

Labor starts to pick up and go places. Selective service gets some.
Farm labor, in a year when the crops are good and there is an active
demand for farm labor, hears the call of better jobs elsewhere. Some
of this farm labor perhaps goes into Hastings to take the jobs left
vacant«by the men from Hastings .who go to take jobs in Wichita
and Omaha. * ”
And that, roughly, is the picture of Hastings in defense. Hastings
is a symbol, for the same thing is going uu from Florida to Washing-
ton state. Congressman Curtis has a hunch that after this is all over
the young folks who roamed may come back home, but he doesn’t
know in what shape

Usual procedure for a congressional investigation
doing spade work In the fi(?ld is to hold hearings
in the state capital ot number one metropolis. Sum-
moning the. small-town big shots in to speak their
pieces. Here, the committee is going right to the
grass roots of the matter and so, Hastings, not far
from the geographical center pt the United States,
will be the most important guinea pig town In the
country for a day. -
Why Hastings? There’s a mite of politics In its

however, Hastings would still’ be a good spot for

Dr. Robert K. Lamb, formerly, of prdgresslve Bennington College

Along comes defense. At least two of the ’2® industries get defense
contracts, one for $206,000 worth of practice shells and another for
$22,000 worth of meat blocks for Army camp butchers. Other man-
ufacturers began to feel the pinch for raw materials: the hay fever
