SEEK LABOR WAR
END IN STATE
By RALPH H. TAYLOR
As California agriculture faces the
new, harvest season, the urgent need
of substituting reason for violence
—-and mediation for direct action—becomes increasingly ‘apparent to
every law-abiding citizen, concerned
with the welfare of the state and the
farming industry.
It also becomes clearly
that there are complications in the
present labor disturbances which
transcend the usual disputes between
employers and workers as to wages,
hours and working conditions.
In the background, if not in the
foreground, is a bitter civil war in
labor’s own forces, engendering hatreds and embracing a titanic struggle for labor’s kingship which threatens—unless brought under control
—to engulf agriculture, business and
industry alike in its back-wash.
evident
Whether the Stockton cannery
war, with its toll of fractured skulls.
sightless eyes and enduring bitterness, would have occurred, except
for the battle between President
William Green of the American Federation of Labor and John L. Lewis
of the C. I. O: for labor supremacy,
is problematical. Only time and of-.
ficial inquiries can fix responsibility
for Stockton’s bloody skirmish, but
‘the claims and counter claims o*
rival unions, in the wake of the battle—-each insisting that it represented the workers and each denouncing
the purposes and motives: of the other-—plainly indicated thiat labor’s
eivil war was at least an aggravating
factor.
tTo agriculture, these conditions,
added to Communist activities and
the deliberate efforts of radicals to
foment bloodshed and disorder, make
the situation doubly threatening, for
they are factors over which the farmer has no control Nor is the fact .

The labor relations issue, beyond
question, has become the leading issue of the 1937 session, with the
thoughtful members of both houses
determined to pave the way for a
new ‘‘age of reason”’ if it is humanly
and legislatively possible to do so.
As the first move in the right direction, the lawmakers served notice
that California will not tolerate revolutionaries by decisively repudiating an attempt to repeal the Criminal Syndicalism Act.
Three major labor relations bills
the
are pending:
The Crittenden bill, probably the
most practical approach to the problem, would create a Labor Relations
Board of five members—one to represent industrial employeees, one
agricultural ‘employees, one industrial employers, one agricultural employers, and the fifth, the chairman,
to represent the State generally.
Either employees or employers could
appeal to the board in a labor disjute, invoking its services in mediation to reach an equitable agreement. If this failed, the controversy
could then be submitted to arbitration, by agreement of the parties in
controversy. Each party to the dispute would name cne member to the
arbitration board (if a board of three
was determined uron with the Labor
Relations Board naming the third;
in the case of a board of six, each
party would name two and the Labor Relations Board two. Once submitted ‘to arbitration, the findings
of the arbitration board would be
final and binding on both employers and workers.
This act, however, does not eurtail
the right of employees ito strike (except in cases submitted to mediation
and arbitration). On the other hand,
it would permit employers to negotiate. directly with their workers,
thus obviating the need of unionizaand would persecret
intion of farm labor,
mit the workers to vote

timidation.
No act of the legislature, it is admitted, can prevent strikes and disby
orders, unless both workers and em-.
COUNTY, STATE
DIVIDE LOAD IN
NEW RELIFE ACI
SACRAMENTO, May 13. — Farreaching changes in the administration and financing of relief in California contained in A. B. 1177, recently adopted by the legislature, and
now before the governor for signature, are outlined in an anaylsis of
the principal provisions of the new
Public Welfare Act released today
by the State Chamber of Commerce.
The new Act. will continue to
place the first and most direct responsibility for aid--of-local residents upon county government, in accordance with existing indigent laws
but it establishes a definite limit
upon the financial’ responsibility of
counties measured by their taxable
wealth and ability to pay. It also establishes state. participation in financing and administrative control of
relief so that there will be a joint
and cooperative program . between
the counties and the state.
The measure which has been characterized by both proponents and
opponents as “the most important
bill passed by this. session of the
legislature’ returits administration
of relief to the county boards of supervisors and their local welfare departments. It provides that the counties shall take. care of the’ entire
cost up to five cents per $100 assessed value. When outlays for relief
in a county exceed five cents on the
tax rate there shall be an equal division between the state and counties of the costs for relief for the
next twenty two cents on the tax
rate. All costs beyond this twenty
seven cents on the tax .rate in any
county are to be, earried entirely by
the state.
The bill, therefore, fixes a maximum of responsibility for the counties equivalent to sixteen cents per
$100 assessed value.
Non resident indigents or transients are not made a financial responsibility of the counties, but provision is made that they be cared
for as a state charge.
Other new .provisions of the law
make possible work relief program
by the counties. Former provisions
lin the basic indigent law for the soployers act in good faith.

State supervision of the entire
program is given to the state department of social welfare which is given power to prescribe and enforce
uniform regulations as to eligibility
and to get minimum and maximum
budgets for various types of cases.
Among the merits of the measure
claimed by its proponents are the
following:
1. That it establishes a protective limitation on the amount of
emergency relief burden which can
fall on the local property taxpayer,
and puts into effect the fair principle that financial assistance from the
state shall be determined uniformly
by actual needs and ability to pay.
2. That it gives the state and
counties a joint and mutual interest
in efficient and economical administration of relief, and removes the
chief obstacle to harmonious cooperation between these units of government. E
8. That it thus provides’ that
within reasonable limits of local determination there will be the same
kind of a relief program in every
. county, the same kind of treatment
for all needy persons or families,
and a uniformly fair division of the
financial burden between local property taxpayers and general taxpayers in all counties.
