A STORY ABOUT LITTLE BUSINESS
Four years ago the three Miller brothers opened a small
dairy. They knew the business. They invested all their savings. They. sold rich, obave standard milk to their community. They worked seven days a week doing half the dairy lal.
-or among them. Their reward was a going concern. Last week
they closed their doors. That came about in this way:
’ The dairy drivers were called out on strike. The union
demanded a 28 per cent increase in basic pay and a five day
week. Also, the union wanted a 66 per cent increase in commissions. Furthermore, the proffered union contract barred
the Millers from working around the dairy. The union rounded up a battalion of pickets to police the dairy. Women customers who came to get milk for their children had their tires
The brothers cast up accounts. Their business receipts
averaged $1000 weekly. The wage scale and hours of the
union ultimatum would raise the payroll from $455 weekly to
around $700 leaving $300 to the Millers. And from their
$300 the brothers would have to pay the boost in union commissions, plus operating costs for trucks, gasoline, pasteurizing and bottles. It couldn’t be done. It meant bankruptcy. So
they quit business. :
“You have won a brilliaat victory,” wrote one of the
brothers to the union leaders. “Tjapplaud you. But—the golden goose is dead; the eggs are no more.”
The story of the Miller brothers comes in news dispatches from New Canaan, Connecticut. But it might have come,
in varied pattern and detail, from many a community in California or any other state. It is a story all too frequent in the
current annals of little business in the United States of America.—Contributed.

Captain Charles Shenstrom president of the veteran’s right to work

of these needs clear when he testified

NOTES
By. Congressman Clair Engle
BLUE DISCHARGES CRITICIZED
A congressional drive to get the
army either to halt or at least -cur‘tail the issuance of blue discharges
has gained new headway as the result of an investigation by a subcommittee of the House Military Affairs Committee which has strongly
recommended that the army. give
prompt attention to the problem.
A blue discharge named from the
eolor of the form used is neither an
honorable or dishonorable. However,
the veteran who holds such a disis precluded from enjoying
most government rights for veterans
‘and is placed under a stigma of prejudice which may go. so far as ‘to
prevent him from getting a job.
Blue discharges are issued for. various technicalities. For instance upon
approved recommendation of a board
of officers an enlisted man can be
given a blue discharge because of
“undesirable traits or habits’ or be-,
eause his service has not been ‘‘good
or faithful.’’ In other words a group
of officers can get together and arbitrarily decide whether a man’s
character is “good or bad’’, If they
decide it is bad from the military
point of view, they issue the blue discharge. Because of the ‘intangible
factors involved in this type of discharge a prejudice has developed
against it and some employers refuse
to hire anyone who holds one. The
veterans administration can and often does refuse to permit a blue discharge recipient to participate in
certain veterans benefits such as education.
Oldest maritime organization on
isthe Pacific coast is that of the San
Francisco bar pilots who steer vessels through the Golden Gate.

Sam Hackney —
has a trade mark
Before Sam Hackney got successful, his wife used to make his
bow ties for him. They came out an
inch longer than average — and
Sam came in for a lot of ribbing.
’ But he only smiled and took it.
Of course, Sam doesn’t need to
economize now; he’s one of the best
real-estate men in the country. But
he still wears those long bow ties.
Prospective customers may not re_ member his name or his face, but
. the minute they see Sam, they say,
“That's the feller!”
The bow ties work like a trade
mark — something to remember
and identify.
And Sam has another trade mark,
too: the glass of beer he bays his
client after every deal is settled.
Sure, it’s a friendly gesture .. but
more than that, it reminds Sam’s
clients that he’s a man of moderation and good taste — dependable
and temperate. Sam’s no fool !
