JUST WONDERIN’ ] wonder at the model child Revealed to us of old— A youthful soul of purest ray With heart of burnished gold; ‘He was so gentle and so kind, So:patient and so good, That I for one, stared up dismayed At;heights whereon he stood. not particularly saint like. _ #They were a rare lot, those model children of fact and fiction, and . wonder now how our elders could have taken them so seriously. Take Sweet Alice as an example—Sweet Alice, “who wept with delight when you gave her a smile and trembled with feay at your frown.’’ No one in ‘‘my set” cared to emulate her'extreme emotional instability. In a world filled with smiles and clouded with only occasional frowns, one would be weeping and trembling all the time; there wouldn't be a moment left for tree climbing, flume walking and other normal activities. Held up as a shining example of childish Qbedience to parental authority, was the boy who stood on: the burning deck until the ship blew up and blasted him into . the hereafter. Surely thisnoble lad carried obedience\ to a point Beyond reason’and displayed a deplorable lack of\initiati The boys . used to play with, would have jumped overboard and floated about on their rubber rafts until the marines came along and picked them up. That would have been far more sensible, but of course, not so spectacular. Poor little. story book children of the long ago! Little Eva; Nell; Paul Dombey, et al; fragile figments of the literary imagination; they exuded constant and never failing essences of sweetness and light and then—they all died so very young. I noted that fact when I, myself was young, drew my own conclusiohs and reacted accordingly. ‘ Among these amazing children of the past, created as examples, that no normal child could follow, was the lad of Excelsior fame. . reggarded him then and . regard him now as a marked example of misdirected energy. According to the -poet who invented him, he grasped a banner with a strange device, dasHed headlong through an Alpine village, climbed a glittering Alp; planted his banner in a snow drift and curled up and died. Now what good did that do and who desires to follow suit? . \ ¥ Indeed these supernal children who trailed clouds of \glory through the pages of our gift books, were not destined for survival; having in their tender years, reached the dizzy heights of perfection, where could they go, but out? As examples for normal boys and girls to follow they were too good to, be good. , Boys and girls of these stirring times do not care for story “pat characters who are, “‘too sissy,” their fictional heroes and\heroines are made of sterner stuff, and that is as it should be. We hope for these modern children, that they develop not seiptesin but brawn as well. We want them to live and to become the strong end efficient men and women of tomorrow. . -.\ Your child: may scorn. the ‘‘sissy stuff’’»which you consider good for his soul, but if allowed to form his own reading habits, I'm.,sure they day. ‘In this-war torn world, even very young children are thinking of serious matters and— “The thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.’’ —A. Merriam Conner. ne € ep ay ee @ °°. TRAGEDY AVERTED otk rom The Mining and Contracting Review) ~The biased and fanatical administration of the Wagner Act from the day of its enaction has done more to create confusion, distrust and trouble than any single\policy or theory promulgated, by the amateurs in government who were named “New Dealers’ because their political leader used the catch phrase ‘New Deal”’ to create the impression that he United States was to really experience the kind of justice toward all implied by the phrase. ” oS For years The Review has reiterated that the method of administering New Deal labor regulations would end in tragedy, and do labor more ultimate harm than good. It requiréd a minimum of perception from the start to recognize the fact that the administering of the Wagner Act was at first an attempt to force all employees and employers to deal with CIO, _~ later with either CIO or AF of L, through the employment of tactics within and without the law of the land and the law of common fairness and decency. ; Pet target of the various administrators and agencies was the independent or “company” union. Nothing connected with the members of such a union or the company which so “brutally dominated’’.the members of the union could be good _in the eyes of the inexperienced zealots whose field of obrvation had been so limited as to preclude possession of any ige of the benefits derived to workers from “company , or that workers joined them through choice. some instances the collusion between CIO and admin; so obvious that citizens of mining communities — ‘ . wonder if.you remember the impeccable children of story book fame, who were recommended for our consideration and emulation when we were ourselves, very young, but -!employers.

My oN employer was blamed because the townspeople wanted none of the CIO and its ruthless intimidation. But because of administration influence and insistence, one company after another was forced to abandon its bargaining with independent unions of long and contented standing. But the Utah Copper Company, because of founder Jackling’ s debunk-proof sincerity of solicitude for the welfare of employees, regardless of rank, and their loyalty, proved a hard nut for CIO to crack. Election after election demonstrated that the majority wished to be let alone with their independent union. But “majority” has a different meaning to union agitators and administrators bent upon imposing their interpretations of fair collective bargaining upon workers and ed the disbanding of the independent union at the concentrators of the Utah Copper Company and _ instructed that company to cease bargaining with the independent union, ‘““Because of the company’s unfair labor practice in fostering such a union;”’ and denied a voluntary wage increase because the union had been ordered disestablished. The independent union, with talk of “four freedoms” ringing in its ears, voted to strike. All the righteous chatter about “‘treason’’ and “‘disloyalty’’ indulged in by certain administrators could not convince the public that the men were not right. There was no dispute with the company. Wtihout violating self-imposed censorship with the abandon with which government official violated it in their press interviews, it may be said that shutting down the concentrators would have crippled the war effort. It would have been a national calamity. So far as can be determined at this point one or two clear thinking Army officers entered the picture and did some honest straight talking to both workers and administrators. The workers believed what they heard rescinded the strike vote. The company’s voluntary wage increase was allowed, and production continues. The Review believes that if the general public really understood the inner workings of labor regulation administering, and if all workers realized what ultimate harm was and is being done to their cause, there would be positive demand for suspension or repeal of the Wagner Act. Its administration constitutes the worst blunder of the New Deal—It is delaying the winning of the war. PRICE SUBSIDIES—INFLATION CONTROL OR SPENDING BONUS? In a sweeping move to stabilize the cost of living and return retail prices to the September. 1942 level, specified in the president's ““hold-the-line’’ order, the Office of Price Administration on May 7th announced a 10 per cent reduction in the price of seven commodities. Accompanying this order was a request to Secretary of Commerce Jones (also head of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation) that subsidy payments be made to processors to prevent the reduced prices from adversely affecting production. While this committee can take no part in the debates over the political issues involved it is interested in the economics that underles the question. If all elements of production costs were controlled, obviously subsidies would not be required. Since these costs have not been kept from rising, only three alternatives are present: (a) higher ceilings (b) subsidies or (c) stagnated production. Advocates of rigid price ceilings must, perforce, choose subsidies. Before the nation, taxpayers, and the public treasury are committed to this mourse, several questions should be answered which would clarify public discussion. 1. Will price ceilings based on subsidies insure a fixed ‘cost of living, especially if we consider the “‘real’’ cost of living which must include taxes assessed to cover the cost of subsidy payments? 2. If production costs are not rigidly controlled, will the amount of subsidies required to hold ceilings grow progressively larger as costs rise? Some estimates of cost, if subsidies are widely used, run as high as $5,000,000,000 a year. : 3. If, as has been alleged, the farm production problem is one of labor, supplies and equipment shortages, will financial subsidies overcome this shortage and effect any material increase in production? 4. Is there any material difference whether consumers are compelled to foot the bill in higher prices or in subsidy tax costs? : , 3. Will subsidies, intended to control inflation, so add 1 police powers and removed the agitators from the agitation against “company” unions.

Nevada City Nugget — Monday, July I 2, 1943 Salmon Trolling is Reported Good SAN FRANCISCO, July 12.—Reports on fishing conditions from Gaine give fishermen and vacationists a wide and varied choice. From the Klamath, it is reported that anglers are getting a few steelhead, and it is expected the salmon run will soon start in this river. Coming on down to the Eel, near Fortuna, some steelhead are bsing taken. # In the valley area salmon trolling has been producing results at the mouth of the Tuolumne, and striped bass are also striking here. Salmon fishing has only been fair below Mendota Dam, but is improving in the Friant area. Some fair catches of small moutied black bass are being taken from Cache Creek. Black bass fishing is expected to improve with warmer weather in Putah Creek.
