Otis Bird's factory makes breech blocks for artillery and the Army needs more. He has two shifts going, but he needs a third. It's a struggle to find the manpower. Main Street is already struggling with a diminishing labor force.
I was going to say that these town folks are way too whiney. I finally realized during the old man's speech that that is the whole point of this short.

They needed a pep talk to power through those final years.
