. Common Sense and the Strike Problem
Strikes in a dozen kev industries are keeping America
marking time in the defense race while unfriendly nations pile
up arms, munitions and other tools of war. The waste of millions lost to workers, employers and the general public is irreparable, of course. But in this ninth hour of necessity, by
far the greatest loss is the surrender of national unity.
The time for both platitudes and belligerence is far behind us. Industrial peace is an urgent necessity, and intelligent understanding of both sides of the problem, the employer's and the employe’s, is the first requirement. Feeling, apparently, that unless you recognize the cause of a complaint,
you won't be very successful in finding its cure, Bartley C.
Crum, San Francisco attorney, gives us this candid slant on
the situation.
“Throughout its history, labor has been plagued with
fear that in times of emergency and crisis it is apt to lose the
economic gains it makes in periods of national tranquility.
Such a fear is present today.
“Both employe and employer would be wisely advised,
I think, to set up advance machinery for peaceful settlement
of their disputes. At the outset, of a disagreement, a time limit should be set on negotiations. If the parties cannot come to
agreement, mediation should be made available at either’s reguest without stoppage of work or loss of time. If the award
of the mediator is unacceptable to either, prompt abritration
should follow—with a requirement of brevity in the presentation and dispatch in the decisions.”
The main reasons arbitration has been unsuccessful,
Crum believes, are the time consumed, the expense, the legalistic rather than rational approach ,the bickering, speeches and
high fees charged. “Arbitrators,” he suggests. “should be
selected who will serve at a nominal fee as a public duty in
these critical times.”
‘Labor has its just place in the great trilogy of American
life—industry, agriculture and labor. Together they can accomplish everything; divided, the nation: must fall.”
That is plain, American horse sense. If there were more
time for cracking heads among ourselves, the industrial wars
could continue possibly for years. But there isn’t. The time is
here for clearing. decks as fairly and squarely as intelligent
men know how, and to unite for whatever common action is
necessary to the nation’s wlefare and defense.—Contributed.

Bivouac
For the past week California highways have been crowded with men in uniform—the “biggest military migration in
Far Western history’’—heading for the war games at Jolon,
Monterey County.
The troops have come by train, by truck, by air from as
far as Fort Lewis, Washington. They have bivouacked at a
dozen different camps on the journey.
__. Though aroused by curiosity and by pride in the alert,
bronzed young men of the Untied States Army, civilians have
done their best to keep the roads reasonably clear between the
designated hours of 5 a. m. and 2 p. m.—open for the waves
of khaki-clad kids learning to play war.
The gigantic undertaking of sending 65,000 men into
mock battle at a point hundreds of miles from many of the
troops’ home bases is a job of miitary precision, timing and orerliness. Civilians are glad to do their little part in the job,
which is mainly to keep out from under foot.—Contributed.

Fireside Chat : .
For the first time in four months, President Roosevelt
will address 130 million Americans and the rest-of the world
in a fireside chat from the White House, on the evening of
May 27. That will be between 5:30 and 6 o'clock here.
What will he talk about? Rumor is rife and prediction
floats on every breeze.
The convoy question is a likely subject, and one hardly
to be avoided. America’s further part in the declared policy of
all-out aid to Britain is a very hot and timely issue. Means of
getting the other 15 cylinders of the country’s 16 cylinder defense machine moving, surely will be discussed. And undoubtedly the current labor tie-ups of vital defense production
_ will receive presidential attention.
_ Some commentators are even insisting that the President
plans to shock people out of their rocking chairs with a virtual declaration of war.
Despite White House reports that there will be ‘‘no
world shaking pronouncements” in the forthcoming address,
the world, nevertheless, will be listening in with both ears, for
it fully expects every syllable to be a significant one. Meanwhile, until the very moment the President says. ‘“My friends”
everybody can indulge a perfect orgy of speculation on the
subject of the coming fireside chat.—Contributed.
Oriental Prophesy bes
Contriving new dramatics every day, the war on European fronts monopolizes the front pages and pushes the fouryear old Asiatic conflict into second place. But the news out
of Chungking is significant, none the less.
At a farewell dinner given by Mme. Chiang Kai-shek in
honor of United States Ambassador Nelson T. Johnson, who
is going to Australia as Minister, the Chinese Generalissimo
declared that Japan is so nearly ,exhausted by years of stubborn resistance that China, given only material and economic
aid, can whip the invader single handed.
‘With the provisional Chinese capital momentarily threatened by Japanese progress in the Shansi-Honan border region
_ some qualified observers have expected China to press ever
more diligently and desperately for increased American help,
particularly as Britain's needs absorb more and more of what
aid this country has to give.

And Lindbergh has renounced his job
And turned his thoughts to speech,
And Hess has flown the Nazi coop
And Carol still can play,
If Madame Perkins now will fold
Her tent and steal away.
-I wonder why it is necessary for Secretary Perkins to
serve strikes to the Mediation Board before that over worked
body can take suitable action. Are strict formalities so important in this time of urgency? Is the feminine touch really indispensible ? } .
We like to hear that American industry is stripped for
action; but it is disheartening to see it stripped OF action by
an ever increasing number of strikes, lock outs and jurisdictional wrangles. _
America’s first line of defense has never been definitely
located. But just now her worst line of defense is in’ struck
logging camps, lumber mills, ship building yards, ammunition
factories and mines. The young soldiers who if necessary, will
stand upon the firing line will find small comfort in the rear
guard action of the picket line. Surely, they deserve the full
cooperation, support and protection of American. industry
geared to the tempo of full speed ahead. Capital, labor and the
wrangling factions thereof should now get together. It is time
to play ball and the batting average is considerably below par.
No one save Hitler and his henchmen, will feel elation, if in
America the cry should be heard, ““Great industry has struck
out.”

WITH YOUR
ASSEMBLYMAN THURMAN
AT THE STATE CAPITOL
Last week was another busy one
in the state assembly where between
three and four hundred bills were
handled. The lower house met in
session on Tuesday, Thursday and
Friday nights in addition to the day
sessions which adjourned Saturday
afternoon for the week end. On
Wednesday miore than eighty bills
were approved while Thursday one
hundred senate measures were a)pproved by the lower house.
One of the most hotly contested
measures of the entire session—the
hot cargo and secondary boycott bill
was passed by the lower house Tuesday night by a vote of 50 to 29. The
measure was bitterly fought by lablor while agriculture and business interests supported the bill. One of the
most powerful arguments in favor
of the hot cargo’ measure was the
recent spoiling of asparagus near the
eanneries at. Stockton, the result of
a hot cargo cannery strike which
threatened the $3,000,000 industry
in the delta region. Before the Djll
passed, a national emergency clause
was written into she measure The
measure which originated in the
Senate now goes to the governor for
his aproval or veto. The writer believes that if this piece of legislation
is vetoed, both houses will be able
to over ride the veto.
Your assemblyman was honored
by Speaker Gordon Garland Saturday when he turned over his duties
as presiding officer to us during the
latter part of the day’s session. It
was the first time that we had had
the ‘privilege of presiding since first
being elected to serve as your assemblyman. :
As we wrote in this column last
week the senate is now busy on the
budget and many cuts which were
made in the lower house have been
restored. After discussing the matter of salary increases for fire supression crews, with Senator Mixter,
chairman of the senate finance committee, we feel quite’ confident that
the senate will allocate .sufficient
funds to allow the increase. Senator
Mixter is from Tulare county -and
understands the problems of the division of forestry in its fire prevention and suppression work.
We are happy to report that the
application made by the 26th District Agricultural Association of Amador County for an allocation of $5,000, for construction and imprévements to their fair grounds at Plymouth has been approved by George
Killion, state director of finance. Mrs.
Waite, secretary of the fair voard
made applicaiisn last Tuesday and
the application was anproved upon
the reeommendation of Senator Dillinger and your assemblyman_ on
Wednesday.
Imiportant issues still to be decided
by the legislature include the budget
relief and reapportionment. The
Senate is now considering the. reapportionment bill and it is likely that
the upper house will send tha measure for the purpose of seperating
Sacramento and Stockton which are
both now in the third congressional
district. Both cities through their
business and civic organizations have
signified that they desire to be in
seperate congressional districts. The
Second Congressional district (Englebright’s district) will) undoubtedly remain the same as it was when
the measure passed the Assembly,
Inasmuch as all legislators pay will
Stop the middle of this week, it is
certain that legislation will be
speeded up so that the session -can
end soon after June Ist.
RULE WOULD END
UNFAIR BREWERY
COMPETITION
Seeking to end unfair competitive
advantages enjoyed by out of state
breweries and to foster orderly marketing and distribution of beer in
California, the State Board of Equalization is holding a public hearing
in Sacramento, on Tuesday, May 27,
to consider the adoption of a rule
which will oblige manufacturers
shipping beer into California to comply as strictly as local breweries to
the requirements of the state’s Beverage Act.
Vital need for the new rule is
shown by the way that the California Alcoholic Beverage Control Act
discriminates against California
manufacturers of beer. As the Act
now stands. California brewers are
prohibited from giving anything of
value to any licensee, yet out of state
brewers marketing their products in
this state are not. bound by its provisions. ;
The board of equalization proposes the new rule to assure equal right
for all manufactuders of beer in or
out of California, Under the new
proposed regulation, out of state
brewers, as are California manufacturers, would be prohibited from giving things of value such as secret
~athers no moss’ had never met a strike organizer’.”’
