Gold ‘Conter MONDAY, JUNE 2 2, 1941. -LABO Thinking Out Loud By H. M. L. The regulations of industry by government bureaux have hecome so fiumerous and comprehensive that recently an official of the National Association of Manuéacturers stated that practically all plant managers have become pranch managers for the government. In the case of ‘unlimited national emergency” as this has been declared to be by President Roosevelt, no. patriotic citizen will be heard to complain, and in fact the managers of defense industries are not complaining except when official bungling slows down production. But while business, is now and has been for some years prior to the emergenty, regulated by government, more and more latitude has been permitted labor organizations, both by law and by administration favors. The President in his recent fire-side chat, or as the Japanese call it; his.‘‘talk in the vicinity of the stove” again stressed duty of both employers and workers to work in harmony for the national defense, human nature being what it is. we do not expect that harmony until by one means or another it is compelled. Labor as represented by John L.: Lewis, has long flouted the President’s wishes, and various groups of labor dominated by communists, such as longshoreman and marine workers, never have, and do not now, sive a tinker’s dam for the President and his fireside chats. The only voice they hear comes from the inner councils of the KremIni. Unless the President is at length prepared to regulate labor groups and their activities as industry is now regulated, his fire-side chats are just a futility. While he talks the fires of internal dissension purn higher and brighter, until the fire-side has ignited strictly national issues so that the flame roars to the skies, and the chat is drowned in the crash of domestic battles. What becomes then of defense efforts? They go by the poard, just as the machinsts strike in San Francisco has virtually halted work on a half billion dollars worth of naval and commerciai ships, And, as a matter of fact, a large percentage of work stoppages are due to jurisdictional disputes between labor unions, in which neither of the brawlers has ‘any quarrel with their employer. There surely, a government, possessed of aS many powers as is the Roosevelt administration, could intervene to compel peace between labor groups, in which employer, like the general public is only an abused and. suffering bystander. But thus far nothing to this end, of a premanent character, is accomplished. True, the Mediation Board has stopped a number of strikes, usually between employer and worker. But like the sevenyear itch, one part of the body politic is no sooner balmed and soothed, than the irritation breaks out in a new spot. We hear that the INBI is making thorough investigations of labor leaders on the West Coast, who have been most identified with ‘strikes, which seem peculiarly designed to cripple the defense industries. Something may come of it, but when we reflect upon the many and futile efforts made to rid the country .of just one subversive alien, Harry Bridges, we are not sanguine of results. The FBI ean dig up a. world of evidence, but someone more authoritative than the FBI must act upon it. We call on the President for leadership. He responds with a fire-side chat. A little more palaver and paltering, a few more (Continued on Page Two) L. Johnson Final Rites Tomorrow Rosary Service To Be Held . ! At Holmes Funeral Home Tonight . .

The death of Mrs. dened Nevada City residents. She was a member of a pioneer family and resided most of her life in this city. 5 Mrs. Johnson had talked with a group of friends a short time before her collapse. At that. time she displayed no signs of illness. The autopsy performed by Dr. Bernard Ww. Hummelt showed her death was due to a heart condition. Earl E.
