A& a result many thousands of acres have been blackened by fires’ origj inatiifg from the comparatively small railroad property.The only Solution, Frost declare, was to have an ordinance passed compelling the railroads to fireproof their right of way Thus, in a single stroke the cause of nearly half of the total amount of fires wou'!d be eliminated.

'TOWNSENDITES ~ DENOUNCE 30. THIRSDAY PLAN SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17.—Unanimously condemning the so-called “Ham and Eggs” proposal, the San Francisco County Central Committee of the Townsend party went on re-' cord as strongly opposed to the 30Thursday plan, which will appear as proposition Number 1 on the special election ballot, November 7. Announcement of the action taken by the official Townsend group was made by Edward J. Kirwan, chairman of the County Central Committee. ; Emphasizing .the position of Dr. Townsend, father of the ~ national pension movement, against state pension plans as ‘“‘threats to the progress of an ultimate national old age pension,’’ Dr. Towsend was quoted as “ollows: State pension plans cannot possibly succeed. They can only put the whole movement in disrepute, for no state, single ‘handed, can pay an adequate pension. Attempted state pension plans are the worst possible setback to the pension cause.’’ Commenting on the action of the Townsend group, Chairman Edward J. Kirwan declared: j the streets of cities, predicating his . HOSTILE PUBLIC DEFEATS LABOR RACKETEERS By RALPH H. TAYLOR EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the third in a series of four articles by Ralph H. Taylor, farm leader and legislative observer, reviewing bills which will soon become laws and analyzing major battles of the 1939 legislature. Prior to the time it convened, the 1939 State Legislature was expected to be more liberal and more friendly to the worker’s cause than any other legislature in. many years—yet it ended up by cracking down on _labor (or at least labor’s leaders) and refused to pass every bill or major importance that*these leaders demanded. Labor czars, who brook no interference and refusé to recognize the swing of the pendulum of public opinion, will doubtless charge that the legislators ‘‘sold out.’’ For -that is the customary alibi of the hardboiled lobbyist who comes to Sacramento, wielding ‘‘the big stick”” and then fails to deliver, But the-workers who pay the dues that support labor chieftains and pay their dollars into strike funds, lobbying funds and the various other funds that are the financial supDort of labor’s wars, need to take a critical look at the situation. As a plain matter of fact—and any legislator who speaks frankly and without prejudice will admit-it— labor was beaten at ithe 1939 session of the legislature by labor excesses. It was beaten, in part, by indignant public opinion, aroused by constant strife and bickering between labor and:employers and within labor’s own ranks. And it was beaten, so far as immediate considerations were concerned, by the unfairness of its demands—by the unyielding attitude of many of its leaders who apparently assumed that legislators would be compelled to give them anything they demanded, irrespective of the rights and wishes of other voting citizens in their districts. Consider the record: The legislature defeated proposals to legalize the closed shop; it rejected secondary ‘boycotts; it refused to approve union hiring halls. It defeated the Wages and Hours Act. seeking to establish minimum wages and maximum hours by law. It turned thumbs down on bills which would have established unfair labor practices for employers, but which failed to establish similar unfair practices for workers. It tabled proHILLS FLAT, GRASS VALLEY manded—and secured—enactment of Sections 821-23 of the Labor Code, outlawing so-called ‘yellow dog”’ contracts. In effect, these sections] . prohibited any employer from making employment in his firm or industry contingent on NOT belonging to a labor union, or from requiring any worker to sign a contract agreeing not to: join a union. That was a good law at the time it was enacted—as the labor leaders viewed it. But recently the courts, in interpreting those sections, ruled that they worked both ways—that employers were also prohibited from signing closed shop contracts, and thereby agreeing to employ only union men, In other words, nonunion men could not be prohibited from seeking. employment in any business or industry, and no employer could agree not to hire them. At this session of the legislature, labor leaders fought bitterly to repeal or amend the same _ sections which they originally proposed and passed—demanding that the right of the closed shop be upheld, although . . they refused to recognize the right of non-union workers to a non-union shop. It was that attitude and that ‘type of policy that brought defeat to '34 OLDS 8 Sedan, radio, new paint, mechanically perfect $350 *35 PONTIAC four door sedan, reconditioned $385 °33 FORD V8 deluxe coupe $160 °35 PONTIAC four door touring sedan, ‘radio, good rubber $425. °34 CHEVROLET §sedan, completely reconditioned $325 "37 GMC TRUCK, 114 ton, low mileage, excellent condition, for quick sale $675 AND MANY MORE OUTSTANDING BARGAINS Open Evenings Until 9:30 p. m.
