Revealed to us of old—
A youthful soul of purest ray
With heart of burnished gold;

So:patient and so good,
That I for one, stared up dismayed

_ #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

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.

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. . -.\

°°. 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

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

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.
