Truman having taken the labor bosses to his bosom and thavin'g coddled them like pampered darlings, suddenly tires of their gntics on his lap, remembers that he is leader of all Americans, and now wants punish all labor by drafting working men, who strike “against the government” into the army and forcing them to work. As a war measure there can ‘be no question he should have such authority. But the war is over, nominally at least, and as a peace time measure, we are not for it. . We agree with labor leaders that tlorced labor is.a long step toward fascism. Having won a war against fascism we want no truck with fascist methods in this country. We believe with a lot of thinking Americans that what we need is a law to make labor responsible for its outrageous violations of law, such as mass picketinig. We need a law,to compel arbitration with severe penrestrictions as corporations. When ‘we hear of -a disgruntled chief ee railroad engineers who has 47 million dollars in ‘his treasury and pt Noe mises to use every cent of it to defeat a president who ‘has offended . him, we are deeply impressed with the power such a lalbor boss domischief in this has. to} republic. We believe the ibe stripped of much of their power. 'W think when huge sums have been accumulated in union treasuries, it should not be within the power of a! few officials of the.union to spend it as they see fit, but:all expendittures should be referred ito union members for an O. K. and that uses of such funds .for politial purposes should be as strictly limited as they now are for corporations. labor bosses should We do not especially blame President Truman for getting good and mad when aill efforts of the King’s men and King’s oxen failed to avert the railroad strike. Roosevelt in appointing him vice president, for that twas what it amounted to, picked a man who would give him no uncomfortable momenits and no rivalry in fierce light of publicity that beats upon the White House. In the small task of heading off some of war exftravagances, as head of the Senate Truman Committee, the successor to Roosevelt did an excellent job. There was that. much to be said in justifiwation of Truman’s appointment. But now. as heir to Roosevelt it is increasingly apparent that he is not and cannot fill the shoes of the Great New Dealer. To come to Congress in an exasperated mood and ask that the rank and file of labor be punished for the sins of their leaders, we think is swinging too suddenly from Pianissimo to fortisimo. The union bosses pampered so long by Congress and administration are now dreadfully angry. We hope their wrath fasts until June 4 and that they do turn out all those. representatives who soft soaped them one day and bludgeoned them the next. Every intelligent American knows the reason that organized labor has gotten out of hand. It is because they have been given privileges for the past thirteen years, instead of rights. They have had so much am)brosia handed them on silver platter that they now demand golden spoons to eat it with. What organized labor now needs is the same tourse of sprouts handed the corwoations over a generation ago. The economy of the country has been deliberately thrown out of balance by granting labor conccessions, in return for votes, that no gréup in America should be granted. One reason for continuous strikes under the New Deal and, let us not fonget, during the war, is the unrebuked greed of leaders for power. Let us remember the vast demands that John L. Lew.

CANDIDATE WHO IISES DECEPTION IS EXCORIATED With the flat accusation that Harry E Riley a candidate for state controller is trading ona dead man’s name, the San Francisco Chronicle expressed its opinion of such potitical tactics in an editorial published a few days ago. Under the heading the controller’ the Chronicle said: “We have aforetime seen attempts to trick the people into voting for some unknown under the impression they were casting their ballots for a well known man of the same or similiar name. Seldom, however has there been so flagrant a case of trading on a dead man’s-name as the present candidacy of one Harry §E Riley for state controller. “This Harry E. Riley an electrical salesman with no experience in public office, is being presented to the people of California in terms which though they avoid direct untruth, can easily lead the average voter to believe he is the late Harry B Riley for eight years state controller until his recent death. The misleading nature of these statements appears in this example: ‘Elect Harry E Riley your state controller. Past experience merits election.’ “(No one should be fooled into thinking the past experience thus cited was in the controller’s office. ‘Whatever other, past experience this Harry E Riley may have had is to no point. The character of his bid for the office or the bid being made for him is enough to condemn his candidacy. “We do not question the right of Harry E Riley to run, under his own colors, for any office he wishes but we do this apparent attempt to throw dust into the eyes of the voters and make them think he is THURSDAY, MAY 30, 1946 CARNIVAL TO RAISE FUND FOR GIRLS CAMP ‘Council members of the local Girl Scouts met Monday night at the scout hall on Broad Street.The most important business before the meeting was further plans for the permanent camp site at Scotts Flat.
