PAGE SIX FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1937. ER {A ES _NEVADA CITY NUGGET . 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 . _#hat disturbances have tthus far been . restricted to the canneries any Tre-. assurance, for California agriculture . ~ as the radical leaders well know, can be strated without a single outbreak . ‘én the farm itself—-by the indirect . method of crippling processors and . transportation facilities. . In face of such cond.t ons, the legislature doing to prevent 4 bloody debast culand subfor > repetition of Stockton’s acle—to prevent rpeciecs tural and industrial cie--ups stitute the conference table picket line? 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 ballot, as a safeguard against 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.
