Labor as represented on the west coast by Harry Bridges has opposed any change in the Wagner act. Legislative investigation of the national labor relations board practices has been urged by employers. The att, as viewed. by some, has been responsible for the labor war which has developed between the CIO and AFL. To end this war, which has been damaging to labor, to industry and to the public is one of the aims of the U.-S. chamber. Labor turmoil is rapidly reaching a degree where the public must take a hand and bring about two-way regulation. It must be done to prevent recurrences of the uprising of Nevada City and Grass Valley against a labor condition they considered inimical to their communities. Labor will not take the lead. Industry or congress will have to. The act must be adjusted so that labor agreements will be arrived at peacefully and will be carried’ out by both sides. Continuation of the present course will only lead to bloodshed and what will amount to virtual civil war.—Sacramento Union. : No Strike In Nevada County . There is no strike at the Murchie Mine. Nor has there been one. Yet 200 miners have been vilified for working at the Murchie. They have been) called “rats” and> un-American. They have had to pass through an unauthorized picket line in order to go to work. They have been called vile names and stoned on their way to work. These 200 workers at the Murchie are Nevada County residents. The “pickets” are from out-of-state. Remember—there is no strike at ‘the Murchie. Nor has there been one! _. And then one day the situation exploded. A miner resented the insults hurled at him and his fellow workers. He went after a “‘picket.’’ He was hit on the head by a big stone and dangerously injured. Then things happened fast. A crowd of several hundred miners literally took the picket line to pieces. A number of C. I. O. agitators were told to. leave the county and not return. CC. I. O. headquarters were destroyed. By whom? Vigilantes? No—by the miners _ themselves. For many months professional agitators have been attempting to organize the miners of the Nevada City-Grass “ Valley Mining district. . They have met with scant success. ese communities have been mined for too long to need outside labor advice. The men have had friendly relations with their employers and in return have worked steadily and at top ‘wages in depressions and out. anticipated urges legislative change in the Wagner act pro: .

SIERRA CREST MOUNTAIN TRAIL IS CHARTED Superintendent DeWitt Nelson and Grazing Inspector Leland Smith, of the local headquarters Tahoe National forest, returned Wednesday
evening from a two day trip in deep snow in the high Sierra. Ranger H. I. Snider of Truckee accompanied them. The men are working on the section of the proposed Sierra Crest Trail that will go through their national forest. Last season 15 foot poles were placed for ski sites but the unusually deep snow buried these and also covered a ski shelter. On their trip Wednesday they dug eight feet deep and found the shelter which they entered and left provisions. They traveled 15 miles Tuesday and 10 miles Wednesday over snow ranging from 13 to 15 feet in depth and report a very good trip. Sites for ski courses and proposed ski courses were charted and spots for shelter huts were looked over. During the season-when snow is either off the groun@ or only a few feet deep signs will be placed directing persons to these selected sites. They will be high enough to be seen in deepest snow periods. The Sierra Crest Trail is to be charted through ‘the length of the mountains as far south of Mt. Whitney country. Work is now progressing well in the Stanislaus country. In the Norden area where surveys were made this week the Sierra Club COLFAX a TUES. MAY .
