And there, in exaggerated outline, you have the nub of the fallacy in this price-fixing-by-law idea. A. stata.official with the power to fix prices would be subject to pressure from all sides. Even if he could ignore this, and enforce his ‘‘commands,”’ it would be humanly impossible to grasp the multitude of factors entering into the consideration of a “‘fair’’ price for any product.

But don’t be surprised if you hear next that someone has introduced a law commanding the sun to stand still, ‘or. the waves to cease pounding upon the sea shore.—Contributed. It’s An Earthquake In the middle of one recent night, mother Earth shook herself slightly to adjust her cloak of outer crust and sent a quiver running along the Hayward fault line paralleling the eastern shore of San Francisco bay. Residents of the region phoned the police and said, “‘It’s -an earthquake, what shall we do?’’ Calmly the police advised they go back to bed. : : That's all there was to it. As many an old timer opined, “it wasn’t such great shakes’ as a temblor. But some of those folks who had gone back to bed had a question in their minds. How had the bridges stood the shake? How had those two new magnificent structures of steel and concrete taken the jar? In the morning they read their papers and were reassured. The bridges had swayed a bit. But they had weathered their first earthquake. Could an earthquake shake down those mammoth spans? A little checking revealed some interesting things. Officially it is a possibility, since the bridges are insured against earthquakes. Also these spans, like others in the earthquake sector, pay considerably higher insurance rates than those in the east, the bay bridge figure being $1.60 per $100. And recently the point came up in discussions of what to do about the ferry boats, when an expert suggested that the bay area keep them on hand as emergency lifelines, just in case. These two biggest bridges in the world are the sturdiest things of their kind ever built. Probabilities are they'll stand solidly through the 100 years that engineers say the cables and roadways will last. But the possibilities remind us that even the mightiest works of man’ can be made to bow to the infinitely more mighty powers of nature.—Contributed. ens Most congressmen are interested in “‘pickings’ rather than “‘packings,”’ court or no court.

It hadn't occurred to us that such was possible, but if it is—well, here’s Be it hereby commanded, by law, that all newspapers retail at ten cents a copy; that everyone take five-year subscriptions to all newspapers in his community; that the price of newsprint be cut in htJf; that all advertising rates be $2 a column inch; that all merchants place a three-column six-inch ad in each issue of every home newspaper and at least a dozen full-page advertisements each year! Most newspapermen less of vital concern to California agriculture, for it is almost certain ‘o foment labor disturbances during the coming harvest season. ; And California farmers, after the hitter battle,with depression, are in urgent need of a period of undisturbed production, and _ profitabie marketing of :their crops, if agriculture is to win back a fair measure of solvency. The history of previous attempts ‘o unionize farm workers is an unhappy record of ‘direct action’; unreasoning class hatreds, fostered by unprincipled agitators; wage losses and bitter disappointment for the workers and terrific crop losses for the farmer. Invariably, Communists and radicals have wrested control of the unions from bona fide labor organizations, . with disastrous results for everyone concerned. And invariably, the unions have finally colYapsed, both in California and througohut the nation. The handiwork of Communist organizers shows up even in the preliminary stages of the present movement, as evidenced by the resolutions adopted at the ‘recent two-day conference, held in San Francisco to imap plans for the farm union program. The resolutions, for example—instead of considering ways and means of bettering conditions or income for either farm labor or the farmer —were as follows: 1. Fraternal greetings to Mooney and Billings, the San Francisco Preparedness Day bombers. 2. Expressions of sympathy to the recently convicted East Bay ship murderers. 3. Greetings and sympathy to the Modesto dynamite prisoners, 4, Recommendations that the state criminal syndicalesm act be repealed. 5. Recommendation that all antipicketing ordinances be repealed and that state police be prohibited from keeping order during labor disputes. If the farm labor movement is to be ushered in by resolutions extending “fraternal greetings’ to convicted dynamiters and murderers, there can be little dowbt as to the sponsorship of the movement. The hand of the Communist and revolutionary, bent on stirring up class warfare as a preliminary move ¢toward the overthrow of American government, is all too evident. To both farm worker and farmer, it ‘s a forbidding prospect! ‘ Farmers, who are also workers—and who work more hours, in most instances, than any of the members of organized labor—have a friendly interest in the welfare of all workers, born of their own experience. They likewise appreciate that as wages and standards of living improve for workers, the demand for farm produce will improve, helping the farmer to get on firmer ground. And California farmers, for years past, have consistently paid ‘the highest farm wages in the United States. When wages have been low, the farmer’s income, in most instances, was just as low—and Ole lower! California, if it is to regain any measure of security and prosperity. needs to go to work, rather than to go on strike. It needs rationalism, rather than radicalism. It is_to be hoped that the responsible leaders in organized labor will do their utmost to re-win control of théir own organization and weed out the radicals who are apparently bent on exploiting California farm workers for their own selfish ends.
