Washingt Washington WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.—The power strike which without warning cut off electricity in Kansas City for four hours is an exceptionally shocking example of shortsighted disregard for both the public and labor’s interests. It is ‘not as if Shere: was no other remedy except to strike against a’ whole community and deprive it of necessary electricity. The A. F. of L. electrical workers apparently have a real griev-

ance against the Kansas City and:

Power Co. They have been struge gling since 1937. The NLRB Las ruled the company a vielator of the Wagner Act. Even that did not produce results, and the men grew impatient. However, a

contempt case against the: com-.

pany is set for hearing Oct. 11, just three weeks away. The night before the strike,

the National Defense Mediation Board here pleaded :

with the electrical workers to keep on working and wait for the court action. : That would have been. the smart thing to do. Instead the Leadstrong labor leaders pulled the switches without warning against a large commun“ity and thereby put themselves in an indefensible position, Chairman W. H. Davis of .the National

Defense Mediation Board felt it necessary to de-

nounce the strike and fo appeal to the A. F. of L. and to the public to bring all possible pressure against the strikers,

Just Increasing the Pressure

SUCH IRRESPONSIBLE STRIKERS make it difficult for all labor. They make it difficult for the Administration, which has introduced so many safeguards for labor. They provoke demands for antistrike legislation. And such a spectacular . offense against the public interest as this is pending pricecontrol legislaton. Many people believe this is essential.

Just this week OPM laid ‘down a policy for employers which will protect the seniority rights of men transferring defense industry. Men who lose employment in nonessential industries through, defense curtailment will have their seniority protected. Under the Roosevelt Administration every possible safeguard has been thrown around labor's interest. The NLRB and the National Defense Mediation Board provide working ‘machinery. This machinery has heen used time to force recalcitrant employers to recognize labor's: rights. The government took over the Kearney shipbuilding plant to enforce labor’s rights.

An Appeal ‘for Reason

‘ YET WHEN FEDERAL agencies ask labor to forego a strike and to wait for legal processes, they are, as |in the Kamsas City affair and in others, laughed lat. and ignored. John L.

Inside Indianapolis

IF YOU HAVEN'T phoned Ayres’ Time of Day Bureau recently, dial MA-1511 and be prepared for a surprise. Instead of the usual feminine voice plugging merchandise, you'll be startled to hear a ~ deep male voice urging you to “Buy U. S. defense bonds and stamps reguldrly.” The girl friend then follows up

with the time of day, but they:

forget to mention their sponsor. Incidentally, don’t bother trying to recognize the man’s voice if it sounds familiar. The sound was recorded by the Audichron Co. at Atlanta, Ga., using one .of their regular staff. Ayres’ C. M. (Moke) Davis tells us there's a meter registering the number of calls received by the bureau. For August, they averaged 18,900 a day, and ‘for’ Sep-

tember they'll probably be a lot higher. We’ll bet the *

Poor Japan!

WASHINGON, Sept. 19.—In nylon, toughest of all the sheer fibers, the Japanese are discovering they have an enemy more terrible than battleships. Some observers here suspect that Japan has already lost a never-fought war, And lost it to a fruit of American laboratory research. By next spring or. summer; 'before all the silk stockings some women recently bought have been worn out, the nylon production of this country will be sufficient to clothe all the feminine legs. From there on, silk won't be needed. Nylon for the legs, rayon for the feet and welts. Provided, however, that the du Ponts can. get phenol for the nylon process in their new plant nearing completion . at Martins- : ville, in southwestern Virginia. Phenol, that substance which makes drinking water taste bad in steel towns, is much wanted for explosives and priorities may reserve the supply, thus enabling the Japanese to restore part of their silk trade with the United States if they’ completely satisfy the State Department. Even so, the long-dwindling silk business of the Japanese with this country seems doomed eventually to be pinched off by nylon and such other synthetics as vinyen, :

duction. The builders of refrigerators, on the other hand, are being told to stay within definite percentages by the month. In the 15 months from the time nylon came on the market until the silk stocks in this country were frozen, ‘it moved: up -to where it was being used for making one-fifth of the full-fashioned hose in the United States. At that point the du Ponts were induced to permit other materials, such as rayon, to be employed by their customers for the welts or tops, and the heels and toes, thus to make the same Pound age of nylon go twice as far.

All From One Plant

ALL THE NYLON produced to date has come from the plant erected in 1939 at Seaford, Del. The Martinsville plant, with the same annual capacity of 8,000,000 pounds, is to be finished next summer but in production before then, the two mills together to be employing 2000 persons. ‘The 16,000,000 pounds of nylon would not provide as many pairs of hose as American women have been buying of silk, but because its yarns are now used in association with rayon, for feet and tops, and because of its: longer-wearing qualities, it would take care of all the hosiery needed and leave something over for other products, . For Japan the outlook . in silk: is indeed dreary. Silk was her most valuable article: of export. . America was taking practically all of it in the last year or two, and 90 per cent of what we took was going into hosiery. Rayon had steadily eaten into the other uses of silk and now the inorganic synthetics come along to také over its last field, thus perhaps to close silk’s international trade cycle of 2000 years.

The Windsor Estate

IT WAS DARK WHEN. we left

and the German bombers were chipping away at the city. We decided to spend the night at the Chateau de Cande, which was the

‘headquarters of that portion of the American Embassy which had been sent out of Paris. It was a lovely estate. It was here that Mrs. Simpson had married her silly English lover. Or, to put it the other way, it was here that the Duke of Windsor had married that silly American woman. Never were so many thousands

We rang and rang, and finally an ancient bundle of plumpness arrived to ask sharply what we wanted. Downs had covered the

she remembered him. He told her what we wanted—room on the lawn to sleep. She grumbled that she'd have to get permission from the American Embassy which occupied the house. She went away and didn’t return. We were in no mood to dicker. We'd all had a tough seven days and we wanted a night's sleep. ‘Knick and Downs climbed the

Chaos and Bordeaux

AND SO we headed for Bordeaux. Mickey Wilson had planned a route that took us by way ‘of back roads. We had the roads entirely to ourselves and it was for the moment grand fun.

Now and then we'd find a Wistro

open and we'd gorge ourselves with bread, cheese and wine. Then we'd push on. My Baby ‘Austin never faltered. And’ in small villages we found gasoline pumps which gave us all the fuel we needed. Then we arrived at chaos and

Bordeaux. The incredible Louis

Huat had set up offices in a large loft building. It had been a labor union headquarters and it was all concrete and steel. The censor was here and what was left of the Ministry of Information. We found a large empty office and put “Official” on the door. This was our home. We unrolled our sleeping bags, put our typewriters of desks and did everything but put drapes on the-win-dows. Boreaux was nomally a city of 250,000 people. Now there were three million of us in the city. Bordeaux was hulging at the seams. Bordeaux was an: overfilled sack of flour tied too tightly around the middle. It “was night and thousands were standing in front of restaurants. When they were told that there was no food left they continued to stand there. s 2 =

WILD RUMORS chased one another along the dark, packed streets. The Cabinet had resigned; Reynaud was out; there was talk of capitulation. . Added to the pain and misery stamped, perhaps : permanently, on the faces of these homeless, there was now bewilderment. This

thing couldn't be. This country their ancestors had built ‘could -

not die. They and their fathers before them had tilled the soil, had nursed vineyards and had

. watched green leaves grow into

sturdy vines and had seen the

wonder of grapes being born and -

living and growing.

Then they had turned the 3

‘grapes into pure wine. What crime had they committed. that they should now lie miserably in fields and in city streets? Had they placed too much faith in their rulers?

Find Rest in Loft. °

I SAT IN A CROWDED restaurant. The alerte sounded. Lights were put out and service ended. A trembling voice cried: “Fifty Boche planes are coming over Bordeaux. I heard it. I know it is true. Fifty planes will kill us all.” The voice came from the woman who ran the restaurant. No one moved. . No one said anything. We were all a little bit embarrassed for the woman. ‘Then an officer laughed. “Stop madame. Go back to your kitchen and find 50 eggs. We are all hungry.” The woman ‘stared ahead for a moment, brushed the hair from

‘her forhead and turned into the

kitchen. The night was soft, trying perhaps to make one forget the helpless misery of 3,000,000 homeless who were on the streets of Bordeaux, But no one looked up. ‘The magic of the night was ignored. People were tdo tired. The English journalists hurried to a ship that had been sent for them. They had to get out quickly. We Americans were. safe enough for the moment. We crawled into loft buildings to

IN THE MORNING the homeless again started their pathetic trek to the south. Many left cars on the streets. There was no gasoline. Many abandoned broken

* wagons and cars snd smashed

bicycles. Where were they going? They didn’t know. For days and for weeks they had endured this agony. It was not a pleasant sight to watch, this twentieth-century Gethsemane. Then came the incredible rumor, quickly verified, that the ° Reynaud Cabinet was out; that. Petain was in. People clutching at straws of hope, cheered wildly.

‘Petain and Weygand would run

things. Two tough army generals —they’d stem the tide of defeat. Petain, the hero of Verdun—he’d rally the army. Sitting in the darkness of our loft building retreat, Downs and I weren’t so sure. Neither was Knick, or a couple of French correspondents whom we knew. “Foch was always the man of action,” one of them said cautiously. “Petain was his assistant. Petain was the careful calculating one, Foch was the strong one Foch and Clemenceau. Peta a strategist-. . . but wait.”

An Incredible Speech

WE DIDN'T have long to wait. The next day Petain made his incredible speech of capitulation which sickened us all. He called upon the army to stop fighting. : We knew that Winston Church ill had come to | Bordeaux and promised Petain a division a day if he'd hold out a bit longer. We knew that Bullitt had talked to Petain and told him that America would’ help in every. way. That day Downs and I had lunch in the Chapon Fin, one of the world’s finest restaurants. I think that only Horchers in Berlin and the Colony in New York

by showing our military passes. It was an incredible gathering. Pierre Laval was at one table gnawing on his moustache. Keenlooking Georges Mandel was at the other end of the room looking tense and white. Genial Anthony Drexel Biddle was at another ta« ble, urbane, smiling; jocular, although he was er a terrific strain. Parenthetically it might be added. that he, deputizing for Bullitt, did a magnificent job getting ‘American’ and English refugees out of Bordeaux. » 8.2 FRANCE was falling’ to bits around our heads, but Downs could talk solemnly’ to the wine ‘steward ghou} what kind of Bordeaux we “have with our hors d'oeuvres; what kind of burgundy .with our meat..

The French people were foolish enough to have believed them. There were a few soldiers now passing, a. little drunk, filled with despair and hatred and disgust. It was hard to blame them. “We'd better get ouf of these uniforms,” Downs said quietly. » » #

Why Did France Fall?

I AGREED. We climbed into my ridiculous car and went to our loft building. If loomed large and dark and deserted-looking. Practically everyone had left. We climbed the stairs. wearily. " “I'm not very proud of being an American tonight, Ken,” I said. “I'm not either.” Downs had been stationed in Paris for several years. ‘ He'd gotten to love the country and the people.
