Stings Thinking Out Loud D. NOTE: This column today is given over to an article written by the Hon. Clare KE. Hoffman, Congressman from Michigan. We are only sorry that -no California Congressman has said ‘anything worthy of quotation concerning the Communist demonstrations “in Salinas, Stockton, Crockett or Nevada County. But here is.a man in Michigan who is not afraid. We quote him: It was Earl Browder, Communist candidate for President, who said: “We industrial unionists are going to take over the industries some day for three very good reasons: “1. Because we need them, “2. Because we want them. ‘ “3. Because we have the power to get them.” It is John L, Lewis, self-appointed head of the \cIo, who, trampling upon the rights of the ‘worker and the employer, disregarding all law, with millions at his command, is, by brute force, transigeing those words into action. On a Sunday, a day set apart for the worship of the One who gave us; life, the CIO brought death to Chi-. cago, furnishing a_ typical: illustration of the extent to which Lewis will go to attain his ends. Many men who have delusions of grandeur do not hesitate to send men to.their death. Lewis is one of them. He pretends he is fighting for human rights, for the advancement of the worker. He had no quarrel over wages, hours or conditions of labor, ‘with the management iof the struck ‘plants. CLOSES PLANTS Nevertheless, in his determination to make these employers bend the knee and bow the head and acknowledge in writing his supremacy, he decreéd that their plants throughout the country should be closed. ; He knew that, in the Illinois plant 1,400. workers who did not desire to follow his leadership, over whom he had no control, were working and desired to remain at work, He kne-v that those workers and that plant were protected. Knowing this, yet determined to win at any icost, following the procedure he had sanctioned elsewhere, a mob of more than a thousand, armed with clubs, knives, stones and bricks, was formed; and, cowardly, placing its women in the vanguard, marched down upon and brutally attacked the police, ‘the guardians of law and order. . SENT TO THEIR DEATH . Riot, battle and bloodshed followéd. In a few shert moments, the battle was over, four of those who had been deluded and misled by Lewis’ words and actions, lay dead upon the field Five more have since died, and over a hundred ,including twen' yfive uniformed policemen, were seriously injured. These men died because John L. Lewis sent them to their death. Their blood is upon his hands He cannot escape responsibility. The CO plans still further bloodshed. Determined to impose its will regardless of consequences, Lewis’ field man, Leo Krzyski, on June 1st, at Chicago said: . “We are going 'to fight on to victory regardless of the (cost in lives,’’’ “We are ready to spill our blood in' large quantities in the middle of the road.”’ LEADER’S BLOOD TOO PRECIOUS If ‘CIO persists, ‘blood will be spilled, but it will not ibe Krzyski’s } blood, it will not be the blood of CIO Communist agitators, it will not be the blood of John L. Lewis; it will be the blood of the workers, of women and of innocent children. Lewis has adopted the methods of the Red Communists. In 1924, he described their purpose in these words: ‘Imported revolution is knocking ai the door of the United Mine Workers of America and of the American people. The overthrow and destruction of this government, with the establishment of an absolute and arbitrary dictatorship, and the elimina‘tion of all forms of popular voice in governmental, affairs, is being attempted.’’ Today, John L. Lewis, by the same methods, with the aid of the same men, some of whom he denounced as ‘‘fakirs, repudiated leaders, traitors.to the unions, opportunists, and purveyors of every falsehood, slander and deception,’’ is paving the way for the destruction of our Government; for the establishment of an absolute and arbitrary dictatorship, with himself as dictator To use his own words, ‘“‘Revolution is knocking at the door of the American: people’ RIGHTS IGNORED Shoulder to shoulder with communists who have become his friends, disregarding all law, ignoring the rights of all those who disagree with him or who jwill not follow his banner, the CIO, under his leadership, is driving hundreds of thousands from their jobs while the Government is spending billions of dollars to give men work. Lewis and his Red followers, as communist Browder prophesied, have been taking over industrial plants because they want them; because, so far, thanks to cowardly and traitorous public officials, no hand has been raised to stay them; because, as Browder said, they have the power to take them. WORKERS BALKED They have kidnapped and held for ransom industrial plants until the workers and owners met their demands. They have put a burden upon evada City Nugget * COVERS RICHEST GOLD AREA IN CALIFORNIA in the right to publish the Truth, with good motives and for justifiable ends. — Alexander Hamilton From the Californian, March 15, 1848: The Liberty of the Press consists _Vol. 12, No. 38._ ’ The County Seat Paper "NEVADA CITY, CALIF ORNIA “The Gold Center ee MONDAY, MAY 9, 1938. By KATHERINE BI SRAITHWAITE Jf I am ‘iot mistaken, gold ‘was discovered in this region of Californiasometime in thfe late forties. Immediately afterwards there arose in the land a great demand for shoes and ships and cabbages and the kings of four suits—not to méntion beans, whiskey, flour and other necessities. To speed up the delivery of these goods a trail was cut through the meart of the foothills between Auburn, Grass Valley and Nevada City for the convenience of mules and the freight wagons. Our forefathers did not mind this road. They were too busy mining, farming and fighting over ditch rights: Besides they had never heard of Fords and Packards and gasoline driven trucks. Buggies, surries, and spring wagons was the-limit to their ambitions for speed and -they the ruts and bumps for granted. To them hardships were a daily portion of their pioneering lives. The years have flown all too quickly since the days of the gold rush yet during all of the eighty odd years little or nothing has ‘been done to improve the immigrant trail between Nevada City and Auburn. The horse drawn vehicles have long since been replaced by automobiles and trucks. The gold that was recovered in Sierra, Nevada, Placer and El Dorado’ counties built up superior California. Otherwise there never would have been the splendid ‘capitol of Sacramento surrounded for hundreds of milés with thriving gold mining towns, Yet this region of the state has been the land of forgotten roads. Just about twenty years ago the Auburn mule trail received-a lick and a promise of asphalt and oil. That has thousands of dollars the tax payers of our mining counties have received on their mofiey going out for good road improveménts. Not so long ago the California State Highway Comniission started out on a four day inspection tour of northern California. Their itinerary included Nevada Cdwnty ‘and the Grass Valley Chamber of Commerce, under the auspices of the California State Chamber of Commerce, gave a, dinner at the Bret Harte Inn last Fri.day evening in honor of the ‘commission. Earl Lee Kelly was not present but he .was represented by Edward J. Neuron, deputy director of the state department of public works. Present in the official party, also, were Fred C. Tatten, president of, the Sacramento Valley Chamber of Commerce, Charles Whitmore, division engineer of (Marysville, J. M. Hicock, assistant maintenance engineer in charge of surveys, Pai Campbell, engineer in charge of city and cooperative ‘projects, chairman Ray H. Judah of Santa Cruz, William H. Hart of Carlsbad and Paul Jasper of Fortuna. Representative citizens of Downieville, Nevada City, Grass Valley and Auburn were present at the dinner and presented the highway needs of our part of the state, President James Henwood of the Grass.

CASE The hearing in the district Federal Court in Sacramento today, presided over by Federal Judge Roche, in the matter.of the $1,196,000,000 damage suit brought by the CIO against Nevada City and Grass Valley residemts closed at about four o’clock and Judge Roche took the matter under advisement. took . been the only dividend paid on the} or John R. asked that the Auburn trail larged to a highway. eer row buggy highways O’Conner road to the wide of other_ counties, hoped. the commission unisfied ‘by having a few bumps taken out of the present road, which has heen our usual portion. I could so on down the line and fill a column mentioning names and stating their personal opinios of the Auburn road. And if you have driven }over this section of chuckholes and washboard ridges you will agree that every word these men said is true and the deplorable conditions of 1849 have only been slightly improved up to 19389. Yet the highway commission gave us scanty~ encouragement for the future. Ray L. Judah presented a dismal pidture of ‘the financial’ problams facing the highway commission. He had me wringing my hands in anguish when he told us four hundred million dollars would be needed in the next thirty five years to take care of all the demands for highway work. It seems as if poor old John Tax Payer will have to dig -up another jhalf cent on ‘his gasoline to pay the bill. I probably will be too old to ride, sitting up, on a highway in 1979, but just to show you I am endowed with civic pride I’ll vote yes on amendment number 28. staff and I listened to some more discouraging speeches and chewed my ‘pencil into splinters while I waited for something to write about. By the time I got down to the rubber eraser I realized we-were all being taken for a gallop on a wooden horse a la Pierson and Drew. I could even guess who would win the brass ring. PETITION FOR CHANGE OF ‘VENUE DENIED After hearing of motion for a change of venue in the case. of the five men accused of rioting when the CIO picket line on the Red Dog road was opened by Sheriff C: J. Tobiassen and his deputies, Judge Raglan Tuttle denied the motion. The trial will take place on iMay 17 in the Nevada county superior court. Sheriff C. J. Tobiassen'and deputies will serve the various prospective jurors with summons.

Nevada City residents for dismissal of the fabulous damage action brotight by the ChO. After hearing the argument, Judge Roche said that he was inclined to agree with Attorney Eustace Cullinan’s argument, that the distric: federal court had no jurisdiction in the case. Judge Roche said he would make the decision after studying the tecord further, In the event that he upholds the CIO in the matter of the jurisdiction in the matter, he said he will immediately call a hearing on an injunction which the CIO is seeking to restrain the Nevada county residents from interfering’ wit the CIO activities and picketing at the Murchie mine. Attorney Herbert Resner represented the CIO union at the hearing. Bustace Cullinan acted as spokegman for the Nevada City delegation of attorneys, which numbered approximately ten. No witnesses were presented at the hearing, Judge Roche heard only the arguments on the question of jurisdiction. MANILA QUAKE DESCRIBED BY ~ NEV. CITY MAN J. J. Sutton,-well known salesman of mining machinery, has returned from a ‘three months visit to the Philippines in the interests of ‘his company. Mr. Sutton states that while there he met several Nevada County mining men who were making good, but that ‘the climate of [Manila is so humid and depressing and mosquito infested that one just exudes perspiration day and night. While there are some air conditioned hotels, they are not popular because when one has to leave them 'the change in temperature is much harder to bear. The water is so polluted that one is warned against even using it in brushing the teeth, while ‘to drink it would invite almost. certain infection. A. M.

We are only sorry that -no California Congressman has said ‘anything worthy of quotation concerning the Communist demonstrations “in Salinas, Stockton, Crockett or Nevada County. But here is.a man in Michigan who is not afraid. We quote him: It was Earl Browder, Communist candidate for President, who said: “We industrial unionists are going to take over the industries some day for three very good reasons: “1. Because we need them, “2. Because we want them. ‘ “3. Because we have the power to get them.” It is John L, Lewis, self-appointed head of the \cIo, who, trampling upon the rights of the ‘worker and the employer, disregarding all law, with millions at his command, is, by brute force, transigeing those words into action.

SENT TO THEIR DEATH . Riot, battle and bloodshed followéd. In a few shert moments, the battle was over, four of those who had been deluded and misled by Lewis’ words and actions, lay dead upon the field Five more have since died, and over a hundred ,including twen' yfive uniformed policemen, were seriously injured. These men died because John L. Lewis sent them to their death. Their blood is upon his hands He cannot escape responsibility. The CO plans still further bloodshed. Determined to impose its will regardless of consequences, Lewis’ field man, Leo Krzyski, on June 1st, at Chicago said: . “We are going 'to fight on to victory regardless of the (cost in lives,’’’ “We are ready to spill our blood in' large quantities in the middle of the road.”’ LEADER’S BLOOD TOO PRECIOUS If ‘CIO persists, ‘blood will be spilled, but it will not ibe Krzyski’s } blood, it will not be the blood of CIO Communist agitators, it will not be the blood of John L. Lewis; it will be the blood of the workers, of women and of innocent children. Lewis has adopted the methods of the Red Communists. In 1924, he described their purpose in these words: ‘Imported revolution is knocking ai the door of the United Mine Workers of America and of the American people. The overthrow and destruction of this government, with the establishment of an absolute and arbitrary dictatorship, and the elimina‘tion of all forms of popular voice in governmental, affairs, is being attempted.’’ Today, John L.

Lewis and his Red followers, as communist Browder prophesied, have been taking over industrial plants because they want them; because, so far, thanks to cowardly and traitorous public officials, no hand has been raised to stay them; because, as Browder said, they have the power to take them.
