CLOSED SEASON FOR AGITAroRs

With our country emerging from
war times into peace conditions,
turning slowly to normal wages and
prices. getting back to its stride in
production, agitation is out OF place.
The professionals who make a
living shaking things up industrial

and find their services not wanted
by any large number of people.
Labor organizations are setting
the seal OF condemnation on extrem-
lists and no encouragement is offered
advocates Of social order based on
sabotage and assassination.

to have spread over all North Ameri-
ca in the interest OF ''one big union"
petered out and sympathy strikes
