Everything is fun.” However, there were other participants in the Ethiopian war besides the dictator’s yodthful son. There were the Ethiopion cavalry units, some of whom may have escaped the loads of explosive bombs dropped upon them from the skies by fun-loving Vittorio. One of them could doubtless file an . effective brief setting forth the case for the negative. Nor could war be considered fun for the thousands of Bilbao’s homeless children, nor for the thousands of horrorstricken Chinese refugeees seeking to escape the pleasures of war a few weeks ago by stampeding, like mad beasts, to reach the safety of the International Settlement. ~ . And though the small, powerful military clique now holding Japan in a vise-like grip may also argue that war is wholesome sport for all worthy descendants of the samurai, they speak for only a small part of the nation. In thousands of Japanese homes where Field Marshal Death has struck, no sorrowing Japanese mother can be found who will agree “War is fine sport!” We have. no doubt that blunt-speaking Second Lt. Mussolini thought war was fun. We have no doubt, either, but thet: most Americans will feel the joke—and not a very funny one C.L0.MENACE TOP.G.E., THREAT STATE BUSINESS SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6.—The outcome of the National Labor Rela. tions Board election December 6 to 14, to determine whether P. G. & E. employees want as their bargaining. agent the independent Gas and Electric Hmployees, Union or the CIO, will vitally affect every individual and industry and newspaper in northern and central Califdirector of activities for the C. G. & spread@ feeling among P. G. & EK. employees that the CIO is more interested in getting control of their striking power, than in bargaining for satisfactory working agreements. “CIO control of the P. G. & E. bargaining agency would place their radical leaders in a position to order which could paralyze the entire P; G. & E, sysiem,” Brillhart said. “That such strikes have already been discussed was. admitted by the CIO’s district organizer, R. L. Shippey, when he was testifying under oath at the NURB hearings in San} Francisco last July,’’ Brillhart cons . tinued. ‘“‘Shippey also admitted that the locals had voted the power to! call a strike to the District Council. California . tration would both fail, but if they ce ldo, we then have the legal right to Ut « ornia, according to H. E. Brillhart,. E. E. union. He said there is-a wide! sitdown’s or other outlaw strikes, . ling no stone unturned in our efforts ‘to get our fellow workers to vote for employees. We do not want to. be . told by Harry Bridges or John L. Lewis that we have to strike whether we want to or not In direct con-. trast to CIO methods, we will seek . first a collective bargaining agreement with the company to cover all questions affecting wages, hours, and working conditions, and to present all grievances that may arise. If out negotiating committee and the company heads cannot agree, the next step will be mediation. It is incon-. , eceivable that negotiation and arbistrike, but our by-laws require a three quarters vote of our members . ! to authorize a strike. . “As soon as the Wagner Act was . upheld we incorporated as a token of; the responsibility we feel. Our membership rolls include about 5400 P. G. & E. employees. However, the Labor Board is confining this election to the outside or physical forces. This means that about 7000 employees out of 10,000 will be qualified to vote. The Labor Board will declare as winner the union receiving a majority of the votes cast.

Grass Valley Laundry are confident of victory, but are leavAND the CG & EE Union. “Our determined opposition to, CIO control four labor relations is’ based first, on our belief that we can obtain our just demands’ through! peaceful collective bargaining, and . second, our dislike of the possibility , of turning the P. G. & E. system into} a a chain of madhouses surrounded ; ce Dry Cleaners 111 Bennett Street Grass Valley so that all workers could be called out at the same time. his means that the rank and file of P.G. & B. could even be ordered out on a Ssym-, pathy strike at the whim of CIO} leaders who might need help to win . a figuit elsewhere. “The possibilities of this situation are’ a worse menace to California business than any ‘inland march’ of loneshoremen. Its potentialties, in fact, are graver than the San Francisco general strike of 1934, because —is on him!!—Contributed. Mending Market Baskets : , . Remedy number five—a housing boom—added to the ~ special session’s legislative program last week, may yet prove to be one of the best remedies thus far taken out of the government medicine cabinet. If, as it has been reliably estimated,-a full revival of residential. construction would directly. boost the country’s busi-' ness by $2,500,000,000 annually, then Remedy number five might indeed help.to make short shift of that groggy feeling in the knees which has smitten business. But lack of a housing boom hasn’t been the only obstacle to recovery. Another vital factor, described by Hale Holden, Southern Pacific's chairman, is the railroad’s critical condition. In this statement, made before the I. C. C. he has’ the support of many economists. They strongly urge that a full revival of railroad purchasing power, with railroads ready, willing and able to go to the nation’s markets for one billion dollars’ worth of good annually, would be a tremendously stimulating factor toward recovery. That one billion dollars in potential buying power carried by the rails has always packed a particularly impressive wallop. Past experience has shown that when they were meeting expenses, purchasing needed equipment and mater‘jals—everything from.coal and timber to eggs and lamb chops —unemployment has decreased, other industries have pros pered, and national income has increased. As Mr. Holden made clear, railroads have been confronted with the disagreeable choice of curtailing service and, discharging employees, or seeking rate increases. Rather than . start an epidemic of retrenchments, they've chosen the latter way of mending their billion dollar market basket. Those direct increases of $3,500,000,000 in only two im-. portant industries, housing and railroads, might well change erica toward complete recovery.—Contributed.
