A Problem Pressing For Solution .
There is frequent mention of the National Labor Reations Act*in the newspapers these days. Most of this news
has been the kind of smoke that really indicates the’ presence
of a fire.
Not the least important item of this type was the recent decision handed down by the United States Supreme
Court to the effect that Federal courts have no power to
pass on the rightness or wrongness of Wagner Board cerRee
tifications of labor unions. The case in question was brought
to the court by one national labor unoin’ which felt that a
Wagner Board decision had been too sweeping and had disregarded minority rights.
The problem of the Wagner Act has cried out for solution for a number of years now. So far, the act’s defenders
have done a skillful job of thwarting the desire of the public and of all groups in the country to have it amended. But
the knowledge that the wide powers of the Board cannot in
many instances be checked by the courts ought to make the
need for amendment to limit that power seem even more
urgent to those most concerned.
Coupled with this recent news event come continued
revelations made during the congressional investigation of
the Board itself that tend to show that the body with these
extremely broad powers does not always employ them

Forged in the hearts and minds of men,

TWO CONCERTS
SCHEDULED FOR
WINTER SEASON
Reservations are being made now
at the Music Shoppe in Sacramento,
for two major concerts of the 193940 series season, scheduled for January and February. They will be
Bartlett and Robertson, duo-pianists,
January 16, and Nelson Eddy, baritone of concert, screen, and radio
fame, February 10. Both will be in
Memorial auditorium. ; ,
‘Eddy’s concert follows his justreleased motion picyrre “Balelika’’
and will feapure several songs from

absence. He was on the original Sacramento Music Series in 1935 and
since then has been heard and applauded by opera goers, concert fans,
movie and radio fans throughout. the
world.
Eddy was born in
Rhode Island, June 29. Both . his
father and mother were’ excellent
singers, and young Nelson made his
vocal debut early, as. boy soprano
for Grace and All Saints churches in
Providence. He was educated in the
grammar school at Rhode Island and
the remainder of his education was
obtained in night school and from
correspondence courses.
His first job was as a telephone
operator in Mot Iron Works. Later
he started in the art department of
the Philadelphia Press. For five
years he was reporter, copy reader,

: Those revelatoins—of bickering among Board members,
of bias evidenced by Board representatives, of wide powers

In the field of employee-employer relations, so important
both to recovery and national defense. Congress can best serve
this end by amending the Wagner Act along lines that will
mean a fair deal for management as well as labor. This action
would mark a substantial contribution to real employer-employee harmony.
That congress will follow this line is a consummation devoutely to be wished by all real friends of labor, of industry,
of the consuming public, and of congress itself.
The “Catalyzers” of America
vi
Everything has a cause, science tells us. And the more
. Important the result, the more important it is to find out what
caused it:
Because the results achieved in this country, both from
a material and a social point of view, are so vitally important
to all of us who live in America, we may well ponder some
recent remarks by H. W. Prentis, Jr., newly-elected president
of the National Association of Manufacturers and president
of Armstrong Cork Company. me
The dictionary defines the word ‘‘catalyzer’’ as follows:
“A chemical body which, by its presence. is capable of inducing chemical changes in other bodies while remaining unchanged itself.”’
___Mr. Prentis took this chemical term and applied it more
broadly to show that there are certain “catalyzers”’ in America and other lands where freedom prevails that are necessary
to progress ‘and that do not exist in other less fortunate countries.
Here are the five “‘catalyzers’’ he listed:
’ 1. The value that is given to human personality.
2. The responsibility which willingly has been assumed by individuals.
3. The opportunity that has been allowed for the init:
lative of individuals to help others as well as the source of the

5. Private free enterprise.

our American way of life and thought “‘catalyzers” or by

develop over how this money will be
spent, if early indications mean anything. A joint Senate-House committee, after a 15,000-mile tour of defense units in this country and the
Panama Canal Zone, is said to disagree with War Department experts
on what things are necessary for the
adequate national defense. \
Committee members recommend a
step up of production in the new

of field artillery, expansion of airports and troop training: areas, and
a greater protection of cities from
