NEVADA CITY NUGGET “FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1939. Nevada City Nugget A Legal Newspaper, as defined by s:atute. Printed and Published at Nevada City. Editor and Publisher Published Semi-Weekly, Monday and Friday at Nevada City. California, and entered as mail matter of the second class in the postoffice at Nevada City, under Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (In Advance) _ An 11-man Senate committee begins study this week of one of the administration's “noble experiments.” The Senators will hear, during their study, just what the public thinks of the experiment. And from all indications, the public doesn’t think much of it. The experiment in question is the National Labor Re lations Act, which, for more than three years, has been the monkey wrench in the wheels of industrial peace. It has been condemned by labor, management and the public alike. Its only defender has been the administration and a minority ’ group of labor. What the Senate Committee will have under consideration are several proposals to amend the Act. The proposals have been lying around Congress for many months, but pressure from the Act's defenders have kept the question closed to consideration. Now it has been brought out into the open by start of public hearings on the amendments by the Senate committee. Everyone—or almost everyone—hopes the hearings will result in correction of this poorly drafted device of businesslabor regulation at this session of Congress. But whatever hopes may have been raised by start of hearings, they are not helped by the apparent attitude of some These officials have expressed this contrary attitude by leaving labor act amendments off the ““must”’ list of legislation for _this session. In the face of almost unanimous labor, management and public demand for correction of the labor law, the blocking of emendment these Federal officials is tantamount to saying: “the public be damned.” —Contributed. The Club In The Closet Included among the almost innumerable provisions of the original AAA was an item giving the President of the United States power to issue $3,000,000,000 in ‘“‘printing press money.” In other words, the Chief Evecutive had authority to inflate the nation’s money structure by simply ordering the government printing presses to start turning out more greenbacks. Now the Congress is beginning to realize this is too broad a power to be left lying around Washington and wants to strip the President of this authority. The President refers to it as his “club in the closet.” The Senate has called it a club that could be used to club economy to death. Certainly this ““emergency power: should be withdrawn. ’ It is one cause (among many) for business uneasiness and economic insecurity for the nation. x It has been a long time since America burned its fingers on irredeemable greenbacks. The fiat money of the Civil War “days is a good reminder, however. And so is the experience of the German people with its printing press money that followed the war. Remember? It took a bushel basket of marks to buy a loaf of bread.—Contributed. Behind Bullet-Proof Glass Reiterating his high-sounding dogma that “one people, one leader, one state,”’ are solidly united for Nazi aggression, Adolf Hitler, in his most recent public utterances, has warn‘ed the rest of the world to ‘keep out of his way. Yet surround‘ed by his own countrymen, and encircled by armed guards, ‘Hitler has shouted his bold words behind bullet-proof glass! : That means, most significantly, that Hitler knows many “WGennans hate. him, as they hate war. And that Rnowledge “may stay the mad Chancellor's lust for conquest more surely ‘ than any threat of resclute foreign opposition. Of the millions _of Germans who marched in 1914, every sixth man was left ‘dead on the field. Nearly two million German homes were be~reft of son, father or husband. And so, when Hitler menaces the world in the name of “one people and one leader,” he like a Chicago gangster, behind bullet-proof glass! And at revealing circumstance, strange though it may seem, may augur peace for Europe, rather than bloodshed. A leader who fears to face his own people—and resorts to such xtraordinary measures to protect himself from an assassin’s bullet— py well fear to lead them into battle —Contributed. OYSTER FEED .

FACE CUTS DEMANDED OF LEGISLATURE By CLEM WHITAKER _ The farmer and the shipper—the railway worker and the railway boss —have all joined hands at Sacramento in a spectacular legislative battle which promises to write a new book of rules and a new set of principles-for Califernia’s vast transporiation industry! More to the point, the movement, if successful, will result in freight rate reductions which will save California shippers millions of dollars annually. Focal point of the battle is Senate Bill 115, which would abolish artificial rate fixing policies, designed to prote2t high cost carriers, and would re-assert the simple principle of “tthe most service for the least possible cost’’ as the basic formula for establishing a sound rate structure. The battle for the bill has as many untfsual aspects as the ‘‘man bites the dog”’ classic of newspaperdom. A. seeming ‘paradox, for example, is the fact that the railroads, in supporting the bill, are fighting for the right to charge less so that they can earn more! Under the present law, there have been repeated instances in which rail rates have been ordered increased, or proposed reductions enjoined, despite the protests of both railroads and shippers. And artificially high rates, the railroads insist, mean less freight, fewer hauls—and less railroad ‘income —-as well as higher costs to shippers. Parmers—represented by the California Farm Bureau. Federation, the Agricultural Council and other farm groups—also are fighting militantly for the new bill in an effort to gain the benefits of reduced shipping costs. And for the first time during the 1939 legislative session, Iabor and management have found common ground and made common cause in supporting the transportation reform bil, with the railroad brotherhoods in the forefront of the battle. Voicing the viewpoint of railway labor, Fred E. Reynolds, legislative representative of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, asserts: “Inevitably, the welfare of the worker is linked with the welfare of his industry. Senate Bill 1115 would preserve for the public the cheapest and most efficient form of transportation in each instance, regardless of whether it was by rail, water or truck. It would end the present unsound, and ~ uneconomic~ system which often requires a carrier to increase its rates, as a protection to less efficient carriers, and which has severey penalized the railroad industry. Enactment of this bill, making the lawful rate of the most efficient carrier the basis on which the Railroad Commission shall establish its minimum rate structure, will mean greater job security for rail workers and quicker recovery for the railroad industry’. The bill already has received Senate approval—-by a vote of 30 to 4— and is now awaiting action in the assembly.
