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. SPRING HOUSE CLEANING s Z Vy . oA We hearted note in the Chinese leader's statement, at a time when a plea for even greater assistance might easily have been made is significant as a prophesy. Old China, says Chiank Kai-shek, under almost insuperable handicap, is going to win her war! } ia Wa CKO AW 4 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. . Just WonpbeRiIn YJ 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. _ Under the circumstances, the optimistic, almost light~ ~ pei! sf 107 min Street Nevada County Photo Center MA PHONE 67 Portraits, Commercial Photography, S ea 8 Hour Kodak Finishing, Old Copies, Enlarging and Framing TOEMAPHED , Pro ESE Kodaks and Photo Supplies, Grass Valley -Movie Cameras and Films ,. am/a Simon pure, red blooded American.” I wonder now that ex-King Ed Has found a safe retreat, . 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.” I wonder if Iam an American day found you considering the. processes involved in the creation of the American type. Here is what my imagination pictured quite vividly. They threw in a portion of Irish blood and a measure or two of Dane, they threw in a stout, bluff English heart from over the sounding main. They added a pinch of Spanish pep to give the concoction verve, with wine of joy from _Italia’s land and a wee bit of Scotch reserve. They said, ‘we will mold the body and limbs on the old conventional plan, but from many races and many types, we will furbish the New World man. Sometimes we will give him a Roman nose or Scandanavian hair, but his courage and hope and dreams we will choose at random from lands over there. They stirred the conglomerate brew again and fashioned it into one, and gazing with pride on the task they had wrought they dried it in Liberty’s sun. Then the creature smiled as he glanced around, and stepping forth in the van he boasted, “I So don’t ge scorning the Frenchman, lad, the German, the Greek or the Jew, for ingredients used in the making of them; are a part and a parcel of you. ’ Uncle Silas says: ‘The man who said, ‘a rolling stone 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’.”’ ae —A.
