The County Seat Paper NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA Sera : er a Sete e st heaferierfe Neier ale fesfetenies. 945606644 an a ee es Thinking Out Loud By H. M. L. Two Councilmen, Acting As Taxpayers, File Suit There is cheering news in the fact that Seafarers Union has diecided not to strike. The news rereturn to work while their preposterous claims are mediated fails to state the reagon for this abrupt change of heart. It is obvious, . however, that they changed their minds after the President had ordered three of the ships to be manned by what, in the ‘‘good old days”’ used to be called ‘“‘strike breakers.’ Of course, when the government in dire extremity resorts to this practice, it isn’t called by that ugly name. At any rate the twentythree ships involved were loaded and dispatched. Uncle Sam’s defense efforts are not balked in this instance by a radical labor organization. We think the Président must have been in a desperate state of mind when he declared that those ships must, and would sail. It is decision he has made which _indicates that he is becoming ‘‘fed up” with the malicious antics of organized and debauched abor organizations. The first was in California ,when he ordered the U. S. Army to take over a struck airplane manufacturing plant. It is such action as this that brings home to Americans’ the menacing world conditions we face. The extremity is such that our easy , going president. acts. As commander in chief of the Army and the Navy, the President has now served notice on all those who would obstruct our defense program, that he will. stand no more nonsense. The Army and Navy are at hand to break strikes that threaten’ the country’s fsecurity. The fair haired child has kicked papa’s shins once too often. When the child throws a tantrum now, it is not the learned doctor that is called. It ist “Nurse, bring me the strap.” Whether these decisions herald the day when there will-be real co-operation and coordination among both employers and employess, whether as a matter of choice, or necessity, is perhaps doubtful. It was only a few months ago that the President declared that we could maintain our ‘“‘social gains’? and at the same time make an all-out defense effort. This was extremely good news to lefft-wingers everywhere. Times have changed since ‘that. lighthearted remark. The sailors in this recent instance have been denied some of their freedom of action. They cannot maintain their social gains when there is involved the scuttling of the country’s shipping. The air craft workers have learned the same lesson, A strike vote, overwhemingly in the affirmative, has been taken in one of the largest plants in the United States, at San Diego. But there is no strike. Work continues pending mediation. One thing about recent mediation results is not yet clear in anything this writer has read concerning it. There was the case of the big building concern which turned over its plant to the government rather than acquiesce in the union’s demand for a closed shop: and the check off system, as recommended by the Mediation Board. Now, when the government finally took over this plant, did the government, or the Navy agree to We would like to know. For there is a principle involved that afifects the fundamental liberty of every citizen. Must a man join a union in order to work and in order to live? If so we would all like to know about it. But not a word has erept into print, or least none that we have seen, regarding the working agreement the Navy has with the shipbuilding unions in that particular ship yard. We do not believe that the great majority of Americans wish to see the socialization of industry, government cartels, labor union control of manufacturing or agriculture, collective farming, or collective anything else. We do beHieve that the great majority still Against Other Trustees NEVADA CITY ENTRIES IN HORSE SHOW, MINERAL, POULTRY, FLOWER AND AGRICULTURAL DISPLAYS WALK OFF WITH PRIZES Three members of the city council, Benjamin Hall, Robert Nve and Irvine Seamon, Clerk George H .Calanan, Treasurer Emma Foley and City Superintendent of Streets Herbert Hallett are named defendants in an injunction and accounting Frank Davies and John R.
