In the good old days, when gold bricks sold at their face value, when horse traders sold crippled nags by laming all four legs, and Connecticut mera ae wooden nutmegs undersold the real nutmegs from the Spice Islands, there was a tribe of sleek gentry that lived handsomely by selling to Swindlers ‘‘sucker lists.’’ “Sucker list’’ values depended on the average amount for which each name upon it could be mulcted. In ‘these days, it is the labor racketeers who enroll suekers to support them in luxurious ease,)on the theory that if they are thus supported, they will help the suckers attain the ‘“‘abundant. life:’’ The CIO “sucker list’’ includes all those who are incited to resist officers, violate the various laws which WERE NOT. REPEALED BY THE WAGNER ACT, and when these misled individuals finally land in jail, they and their families are left to shift for themselves.

The 1200 members (not 1100 as erroneously repoited in these columns) have. soberly gone their way, their committees quietly meeting with employers: to diseuss the problems that arise between them, year after year accumulating ‘a treasury which pays to its members, sick and alccident gives’ assistance to widows and orphans, and in other ways helps its members. The Labor Board gives ‘this old and independent union, who are the neighbors and friends of all of us in the twin city community, legal status under the Wagner Act. No money collected by'the league in dues or initiation fees goes to support distant labor bosses in luxury. It is spent helpfully to all of us in Nevada. County.

FOREST SERVICE The Tahoe well National Forest will be equipped for radio sérvice in eonnecfion with possible fires during the coming season, according to DeWitt Nelson, forest supervisor at Nevada City. With ‘the installation of a powerful ‘‘M”’ set in the Nevada City office and several “SPF” sets for stationing at fires, Nelson expeers fire activities to be expedited. In addition, there will be small “8” valuable service during the recent Downieville flood by the installation of an “SPF”’ set at Downieville. Reception at the Nevada City office was not entirely satisfactory, according to Nelson, on account of a number of*high tension wires in the immediate vicinity and small electric motors at. soda fountains and other places of business. To eliminate the interference from high tension wires, Staff Engineer William P. Lee — is.experimentingwith a-specially designed aerial on top of the Elks building. Preliminary tests show perfect transmission and ‘reception with stations as far south as San Diego. To further insure the efficiency of this equipment when emergencies arise, Nelson plans to seek the cooperation of ‘business houses in the vicinity of his office in insulating any motors they have in operation. This, according to Engineer Lee, can be done a small expense and without reducing the efficiency of the motors. The use of the radio equipment will be under the direction of Assistant Supervisor Ernest L. Baxter, in charge of fire control activities . for the Tahoe-Forest. Nelson emphasizes the fact that, except for test calls.to other stations in the sta'te in order to test the efficiency of the equipment, sit will be used only for communication.within the ~forest,~ and then only . im emergency “use where telephone service is not avail able.
