STRIKES SABOTAGE DEFENSE It is important that the necessity of unity and cooperation in the advancement of the defense program be recognized by all of the forces upon which the nation must depend if the objectives in view are to be attained with a minimum of delay.

It is not always possible arbitrarily to fix responsibility for the strikes occurring with increasing frequency in industries whose uninterrupted functioning is vital to the progress of national rearmament. But the circumstances that a demand for increased wages is so often motivating cause of strikes carries with it the suggestion that- the emergency is being used as a means to a selfish end. Happily, there is a heartening and a patriotic spirit manifested in some of the ranks of organized labor. It is reflected in the announcement of President Green that twenty-five unions of the American Federation, comprising 2,500,000 workers, "have voluntarily renounced strikes on defense projects and have offered industry snH the government a practical plan for voluntary arbitration of industrial disputes." Unfortunately, this attitude Is far from general and the labor troubles actually existing and in process of development by agitators, such as those threatened at the Ford hold dangers to the defense program whose seriousness cannot be over-estimated. DEMOCRACY FIRST A paragraph from Abraham Lincoln's message to Congress on Dec.

1, 1862, should be of interest to the Senate today. "We cannot escape history," ho said. "We of this Congress and this administration will bo remembered spite of ourselves. No personal significance or insignificance can spare ona or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass will 1 us down, in honor or dishonor, to the last generation." History in the making is oft.cn painful and difficult.

Persons in places of great responsibility may make mistakes but they cannot make a worse mistake than to shirk their duties. The job for Congress today is to make democracy work, to demonstrate to the world that it is more effective, more ratisfying, more inspiring than the government and national life of the Nazis, the Communists and their followers. This job can't be dono by putting politics first, by holding out for selfish gains, by seeking individual security, by "playing safe" instead of acting decisively. RATIONING IS HERE Trf applying A system of rationing to aluminum and machine tools, so that defense industries will get what they need of these products the Federal government has issued the first of a scries of executive orders 1o have a very great effect upon the business structure of the nation and indeed upon the lives of most citizens of tho United States. The order requires aluminum ami machine tool manufacturers to report to the government once each month on their forward bookings so that the government may institute a eystem of priorities for those products.

As production for preparedness and for aid to England mounts toward a peak, it will be found that other commodities and products are affected nnd that private enterprise will be denied more and more of the things it requires to cater to citizen demands. America has an abundance of most of the essentials and eat, dress nnd live bolter than any other people. The peril is in the chance that in certain key linos there will not be enough production to satisfy private demand. Competitive bidding for this limited production could start prices soaring.

1921 Twenty Years Ago -1941 POLITICS In County. State anit Nation Most Lebanon Countlans. and certainly all readers the NEWS, are fully aware of the fact that B. Prank Morgal, for many years a resident ol this city, ia the newest member of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission. What many do not know, however, Is that Commissioner Morgal is strictly a career man and was promoted to his lofty ten-thousand-dollars-a-year- post through his ability and long experience with the Pennsylvania Public Service Commission, 'as it was known prior to 1937.

The former Lebanonian first entered (be employe of the state as a stenographer in the Bureau of Accounts of the PSC a number of years ago. At that time bureau consisted of only four employes, but today the staff has been increased to 66 employee even during the -strict economy program said to be enforced by Governor James. For many years, Commissioner Morgal moved from post to post in the Bureau of Accounts, and In 1923 became director of that bureau, a position he held until appointed to the PUC last May by Governor James. The appointment was made possible through a vacancy existing after the resignation of Denis J. Urlscoll, Democratic chairman of Commission, and Is for the duration of Driscoll's uneipired term, which has until April, 1947, to run.

The new commissioner is anything but a politician, in contrast to. his fellow commissioners, and was not appointed ti the post for political favors. Instead, he was recognized as a capable and conscientious employe who knew the business through long association with the PSC and it's successor, PUC. Politically, It Is said Commissioner Morgal Is strictly non- active, and has no talent for, practicing or cp'NjTehBridlng politics. As a matter of record, the one time Lebanonian, who now makes his residence in Dauphin County, fought the practice of levying state employes for campaign contributions, going to bat with a former Commissioner in behalf of the em- ployes of the Bureau of Accounts.

lie is said to have even placed his written resignation on the desk of the Commissioner seeking political contributions, and threatened to pull his entire staff out of the state service unless the mac- Ing was cheeked. That his stand was recognized is evident In tho fact the resignation was never accepted and the accounts bureau stuff never quit. work. At present, ho is the tltlli member of the Commission composed of two Republicans nnd two Democrats, and mny fluil himself holding the balance of power as an Independent.

Legislatures In nine of them debating proposals authorizing proposals authorizing protection for strikers under certain sets of circumstances. The theory of permitting businesses with steady employment records to make smaller contributions to the program (generally called the merit system) is endorsed in bills before seven legislatures, but in eight other states the merit Idea Is encountering rough going. The trend toward liberalization was evidenced by bills to increase compensation payments In 11 West Virginia, Vermont, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, Indiana, Massachusetts, Delaware.

Connecticut and Illinois. Eight of these legislatures also had proposals to reduce the wailing period before payments begin, and in Washington, Califoinia.

Tho question of nnytvnnf to strikers would he left to ft commission In a Montana bill. In West Virginia ihe Democratic ad- sitelslratlon was backing a measure to grunt benefits for Idleness caused by failure to negotiate contracts. Strikers would receive bone.Ilts under a Massachusetts bill if it were shown that the work stoppage was tho employer 1 fault. Similar measures wore being considered in New Haaifishlrai and Delaware.
