SUBSCRIPTION RA'LES One year (In Advance) ........--.-.-----.--: $3.00 Oe MEOHOR iio cee ee es ea 30 cents 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. S. F. HOME OF THE ‘FLEET “The fleet’s in’, is an old San Francisco slogan. From now on, the fleet—the famous Third Fleet—will be “in” for good. San Francisco has been designated as its permanent home. and four of the vessels are already. in the harbor. Eventually the Third Fleet is to be a cruising fleet. meaning while it will be anchored in reserve, and Vice Admiral Howard F. Kingman its commander, will make headguarters on the battleship Massachusetts. bay area residents and their neighbors to rejoice at this news. to. their homes there is good for all northern California.

A case in point that flies direct. ly in the face of common sense is the ‘theory now fevering some congressand California legislators that jit is possible to legislate the evil of lintolerance from the human conlseciousness.

When a man . is forced ‘to associate with another j. man against his will he will tend to . dislike him even if he didn’t dislike jhim before. : The only legislatoin that has ever that is not rooted in emotional intolerance are in-an entirely different category, and this nation has seal need of them. Captain Charles Shenstrom president of the veteran’s right to work eommittee of Los Angeles made one of these needs clear when he testified recently befdre the California Ashembly Ways atid Means. Committee on the proposed state FEIPC legislation. :“T represent veterans’’ he said in part. “You talk about discrimination. If you are going to pass an antidiscrimination bill why don’t you nass one against discrimination in the right to work so that a man can hold a job whether he belongs to a union or not?” He explained that after leaving ligious intolerance for instance has been the very opposite of an attempt to enforce tolerance. Our constitution gives every citizen the right to tbe as tolerant or as intolerant as he pleases to be with respect to the religious beliefs of other people. It merely forbids that any person be oppressed in any way because of his faith. It ‘is deplorable that religious intolerance should exist—-yet it does exist and strong] among a minority of people.

Utter freedom of opinion begets tolerance— provides soil for its growth. The FEPC in,another field——the economic field— would actually promote intolerance and injustice through mistakenly .-attemptimg to enforce tolerance. It would defeat its own ends— and disastrously.

Mrs. Ernest aa 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.

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 ! =—— ~ HOLMES . FUNERAL HOME . J.
