_kind of mark that a dollar
JUNE MINING DEVELOPMEN ISSU
Thinking
Out Loud
By H. M. L.
Again the New Deal, crippled, but
not below the knees, is asking the
tax payers of this country to lend
it six billion dollars to spend in diverse political and, maybe economical
ways to relieve national unemployment. No pencil peddler with his
legs amputated at the hip bones, is
our Uncle Samuel wearing the livery
of a professional mendicamt. For the
pencil peddler does give something
for ‘the money he collects in his delapidated felt hat. His pencils, at
least, make a mark, but these taxpayers’ donations make the same
tossed
down a well makes.
The appeal of the New Deal is for
six ‘billions to end the depression.
This is the same appeal for same
reasons as in 1933, when five billions and odd millions was spent in
pump priming to end depressions for
all time, ‘much as the “war to end
wars” was fought in Wilson’s time.
We spend, but we do not learn. In
1934 it was the same story again
when ‘five billion and two hundred
and seventy million was ‘voted to
prime the pump and end the depression. Again’ in 1935 five billion and
six. hundred million ‘was sown to the
winds and the fireside chats, so to
speak, and though unemployment
began to wane a little the basic
cause, the abuse and maiming of big
and little business remained.
In 1936 Franklin Roosevelt again
extended the suppliant palm to the
taxpayers and five billion and nearly nine hundred billion was voted to
tamp down ‘the rat hole. The same
logic was reiterated in 1937 when
six billions and some odd mi‘llions
was donated by the generous taxpayers to cure the unemployment situation and this time there was an
upward lift. In fact it was only a
year ago that the President chanted
hymns of victory and in New York,
on one occasion, heralded ‘the triumph
“OF a planned economy; declaring that
prosperity “did not just ‘happen,”’
but that ‘‘we planned it that way.’’
He and_ the young brain trusters,
however, could not let well:*enough
alone, ‘but continued like bulls in a:
china shop on their reform rampage,
attempting 'to stuff the United States
Supreme Court, not with one Hugo
Black but with a half dozen assorted
puppets, and this very’ effectively
chilled the prosperity pulse. It looked for a time as if this Republic
might have a one-man government,
call it whatever seems most euphoneous, dictator or grand sachem.
Along with ithe drive for control of
the supreme court went continued
abuse and cracking down on the nation’s business interests, which provide most of the employment in this
country. The boom of which the New
Deal had boasted too soon, never got:
beyond the pap-bottle stage. It wilted and its wizened little body was
tenderly and reluctantly laid away.
Now in 1938 we are about to make
another try at spending ourselves
rich by pouring another six billion
down various WPA. wells and into
various burrows of politieal rodents.
The onty thing we can thank God for
is the forbearance of the Naw Deal]
in an election year, And in the meantime..
Down in Marysville the other day
an insurance agent had occasion to
drive down near ‘the Federal relief
warehouse. He saw long ques of men,
women and children waiting for the
warehouse to open at 9 a m. When
the doors were flung open and a
Small army of relief clerks got busy,
they piled the arms of this waiting
multitude high with groceries, vegetables, and canned goods and they
staggered away to unload them into
better m@tor cars, in most cases, than
the insurance agent himself was driving. And over in Oroville a Negro
appeared witha half dozen pickanninies, and at the warehouse they
were generously loaded up with all
manner of. provisions. It developed
that this Negro had no offspring, but
the large retinue of children had
been borrowed of another Negro family, probably for a small honorium
in the way of food dividends. There
are plenty of people ail over this
‘broad land who no longer trouble to
look for work. God and Uncle Sam

labor relations. path to peace in
the people, the California Committee for Peace in Employment. Relations has swung into action with an
initiative measure strengthening the
state’s authority and making specifically illegal, acts of coercion and
intimidation, sitdown strikes, and interference with lawful use of streets,
highways, docks and wharves.
proposed measure would regulate ;
picketing; would eliminate the ‘‘hot
cargo’ practice; would permit emPployees voluntarily ‘to organize associations of their own. choosing
without coercion; and promote true
collective bargainiing.
Headquarters ‘have been established in the Kohl Building, San Francisco, in charge of John J. Miller,
special counsel. Headquarters for
Southern California are at 505 Auditorium Building, Los Angeles. With
petitions already circulating in more
than twenty of California’s fiftyeight counties, state wide circulation
will be effected immediately.
It was pointed out that the measure includes many’ provisions omitted or overlooked when the National
Labor Relations Act was drafted. Tt
goes further than the Wagner Ait in
that the worker is not only granted
the rights of collective bargaining
and the right to strike, but he is also
protected from coercion from any
source including professional labor
agitators, unscrupulous labor organizations and the costly conse
quences of sympathetic or secondary
strikes.
The worker is ‘also protected from]
being forced to participate in ‘“‘outlaw”’ strikes. Employers of every
class, including industry and agriculture, receive the same protection
as ‘the workers, with accompauying
obligations to keep within the law in
their employment relations.

over the last month _ reveals little
change from the May report. This

for mining properties than for over
a year. Those who deal in mining

the industrial peace which this county is now enjoying.
The Penn Dredging company now
employs 14 men in its operations and
the Back Bear quartz mine has resumed operations with five men.
