A Challenge To Labor

In d time like the present the horizon is fairly eluttered up with signs and portents None of these is much more significant than the sudden epidemic of strikes an epi- demic that has broken out in the last month or so and that is giving the federal doctors one of the bvsineSt seasons they will ever have. Whatever else these strikes may mean, they at least prove that industry IS no longer Stagnant. They didn't put in an ap- pearanee during those dull months when we were at the bottom of the depression. They're coming now for number of reasons but chiefly because things are picking up. Men don't strike when the plant is closed down for lack of orders, And the strikes present ito d nation which already has a eentury's supply of problems to settle in few months ---a new problem; one that carries double. .baneled challenge one barrel for industry and the other for labor.
 It is challenge that must be read in the light of the NRA program. The National Labor oBard'S ruling, which emphasizes the fact that the law guaranteeing the right of collective bargaining means exactly what 1t says, IS part or tle pdShSIOHIu iol 'hese strikes and it conditions their significance First of al the problem challenges the dI- rcctors of industry. It is q test of their spirit of fairness of their willingness to cooperate in the tremendous experiment of the new deal Labor has gained great victory in the Industrial Recovery Act; the industrial iN who seeks reprisas and wants 10 put labor in its place is pilng up trouble, not only for himself but for the entire country.
 Secondly the problem challenges labor itself, It puts upon labor the necessity of developing some broad-gausc statesmen. It calls on labor 10 take the long view of things to exercise patience in places where patience comes hard, to get rid of the raeketecr and the self.scckcr Both of these challenges must be met. The present outbreak of strikes could. if unchecked, lead to q ea' tastrophic situation. It can, if the leaders of the eontcnding forces meet the test with intelligence and patriotism, be the forcrun' ncr of a new era in American industrial history. an era in which both sides can profit as never before.

Are We Open To Advice?

French wine merchants arc of the opinion that the United States needs to be educated in the proper methods of drinking wines So they are going to set aside certain sums of money for American wine importers and dealers to be used in passing along the ncecs- sary information to the wine e-drinking pop ulaec. Perhaps that is a good idea. We are sure that the modern generation is quite unfamiliar with the elaborate pro. eedure that preeedes the deeantng of wine. It is a rite. one that has always been ob- served wherever the beverage has been con- sumed.
 But since prohibition made its bow in this nation our drinking habits have under gone radical changes We no longer think that drink requires perhaps a certain mel low atmosphere, familiar friends or the proper beverage. We are ready on every and all occasions to bend an elbow with al- most anybody. As result the finer habits that in the olden golden days accompanied bit of tipplns are vanished We take em as we find 'em. And that, my friends does not jioe with what France, and other wine producing nations agree to as the proper method of worshpplng at the shrine Of Baeehus.
 There is. to be sure. a definite and we'll planned scheme of attacking an impressive wine list. There are those to be served at room temperature, those to be chilled, and the indiscriminate varieties that the con- roisseur ignores As regards the service of wine with the meals few of us are so fort unate as to be vexed by this problem. And if we chance into a hostelry where such propreties are observed the good old garcon usually can be depended upon to correct our faults of omission or commission. If France thinks she is going to educate us in any fine arts of drinking she may be surprised to learn that in country where intoxieants have run the gauntlet. old customs often make way for new ones.

from the Condolences in front A cigar box of bullets was obtained from re- mains of trees felled in the park. all of which might indicate that during that 0ettys burg battle there were plenty of soldiers busily engaged in shooting at trees instead of at soldiers. That is not meant to be dis respectful to the combatants either.
 Barnegat Light shall not perish if the rul- ing of New Jerseys Board of Commerce and Navigation has its say and way. Recent storms have swept away almost every vestige of shore around the historic lighthouse. The state board proposes to erect steel sheathing to prevent the lighthouse from being under mined and swept into the sea. This pro- lection would act as buffer for the waves of future storms It is feared that one more blow or heavy tide will topple the beacon into the ocean. Various efforts have been made to protect it in the past such as sink ing discarded dredge and few huils in front of the light so as to divert the current. It will require more than this, though. to prevent it being buffeted around. It is re- called that when first erected the light was a mile inland. Our shore line slowly gives way to the advance of the tide.

Speed Is Needed

It remained for the only republican mem Der of the Federal Public Works Advisory Board in this state to eritieise the lack of action by the proper officials in presenting the projects with which we are to secure our share of Uncle Sans money. If we recall. it was pointed out some weeks ago that the en- tire success of the plan of placing immense sums of federal money at the disposal of states and towns depended upon the speed with which the public works projects were approved and construction actually started Too many of those suggested were jobs that could not be started until l934.
 In our own state. though, there are many public jobs that could be underway now. Doubtless there are good reasons why they
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-09-22

haven't been started. One is the fact that there haven't been a great many towns com ing forward. The state highway depart ment has ambitions along this line. And it was the highway department that bore the brunt of John J. Pelley's attack during the session of the advisory board the other day. He declared that it had only presented two projects to the board for approval. Without going into the merits of the eriti- cism we can only point out that the scheme of undertaking public works on a mammoth scale depends on the speed with which un- dertaken.
 With factories throughout the nation finding room for more employees there may be less need for such emergency measures. But we are sure that only with the aid of an impetus such as the public works project is can we get back to normalcy as soon as we might wish. Secretary lekes of the Interior Department under whose jurisdiction falls the program is doing all in his power to speed up work throughout the nation. Gov ernment jobs are starred. It is certainly time for the states to enter into the spirit of the thing by throwing their weight behind the wheel and pushing for all they are worth A few more rebukes like Mir Pel- ley's may serve a good purpose even though all may not agree that he was within his right in singling out the highway depart mcnt for criticism.

Confidence Unshaken

Democrats of the city arc of one mind, even if their republican brethren arc not. This was eonelusively demonstrated last night at the democratic convention when the entire administration of Mayor Frank Hayes was endorsed, It was the third time that the city had paid signal honor to Mayor Hayes, We feel sure that this honor will last until October and that our chief executive then will be returned to office amid the huzzas of the voters of Wa terbury. There is no reason for change in administration. We don't think there will be one.
 Perhaps we have become accustomed 10 the harpins of go.p. critics of recent years but no longer do we regard with as much attention the many and often absurd charges of speakers of that political extraction. We have seen Mayor Hayes cope with eondi- tions that would have tried the patience of any public official. We have seen his aides wreSte with problems that were ignored by those who went before them. Keeping all this in mind, we do not sec how the voting public can do anything but make their bal. lots constitute vote of thanks for what has gone before and what will occur in the future.
 It is not our policy to make extravasant claims about our public officials, but we do believe that under the most trying eircum. stances the Hayes administration has come through with flying eolorS. This is sener. ally recognized even in republican circles. If not in this city, then at least throughout the state. Anybody who is familiar with mu- niepa conditions in Connecticut would rec. ognize the fact that Waterbury is in q far more enviabe position than other cities. Recognizing this. we think that credit should be given. However that isn't the way in Waterbury. No matter what the democrats do, it's politics. But if it is done by re. publieans, it's purely non-pariSan.
 We have no fault to find with the make. up of both political tickets that will be placed before us on October }. There are men of good standing in the republican ranks. No one doubts that. But we do resent the implication that all democrats are open to suspicion, simply because they hold public office. That's the attitude critics try to put across in Waterbury. The record of the Hayes administration is one to be proud of. We would have called attention 10 it. were we in the mayors or the controllers place Waterbury need not fear to endorse Mayor Hayes and his associates To our way of thinking it is the logical course for the city to pursue.

DESTROYING BEAUTY
(Hartford Courantl

AQaA&Hty
 Messages from Holland tell devoting this week to the destruc- stock. We are told that "huf- dreds of thousands of tulips, Hya- cinth and narcissus bulbs have been thrown into refuse piles" The growers were acting under the fans to burn. their stock of coffee cient the price of bulbs will in- crease.
 We ca nimagine that bulb grow gard the act of the Dutch with reasons. tulip bulbs from Holland tp bulbs grown elsewhere, but If CTS of tulips and nLrcissux VII buy the American product until prices .ss growers do this. the Dutch growers of bulbs will have won q barren victory. We feel sure that there are those who will decline to buy the Dutch product because of the methods which the foreign grow CTS have taken tp advance the price.
 But one who knows and appre- ciates the beauty of tho blooms from the Dutch bulbs will regret even more the wholesale aestruc- ton brought about in this effort to raise the price of.an object having 10 food value. but which by a miracle contains beauty and fra- grance that oriental poteHta might anvy and that the art of nan cannot duplicate.

Iowa. planning to plant l0,0oo,000 young trees next spring to control soil eros- ion, is in line with the times. This work, to be done by the Civilian Conservation Corps. is more impressive in an agricultural state than in waste regions, Farmers, as d rule. have not gone in for trees. They have been too close to the pioneer state when trees were something to be got rid of, in order to make room for crops. Now they find that lack of trees limits crops by the teaching out and washing away of good soil.
 Besides the trees. thousands of dams are built to held the ran-wash and check erosion. Erosion makes bad lands and eventually deserats Trees at least are com ing to be ruling passion with Americans. And we'll they may, for many reasons. It might be good thing if every acre of land taken out of cultivation were planted in trees.

COUNTY FAIR
(Brldgeport Telegraml

(Brldgeport Telegram)
 Phil stong celebrated in novel and on the screen the glories and the absurdities of "State Fair" And the county fair Is still going strong in spite of hard times. or because of them. This Is the sea- son, and 1t Is q good one so we learn. To look upon the fields black with parked automobiles Is to make one wonder what all the depression talk Is about.
 Inside the grounds are the old familiar scenes and faces. The rab- bit show, poultry show, flower show, ox-pulling contest volunteer firemen hose contest, etc, etc, gath CT in the natives and the city folk alike. Characters appear on the fair grounds who apparently are seen in public at no other time. There are the incredible barkers with their lingo almost as old as the circus, and the rubes who throw native discretion to the winds and bite on the various games of chance. Modern gadg- cts such as automobile racing. and sightseeing trips by- airplane add a touch of the outside world to this conventional show. And every where the carefree crowds, pea nuts. hot dogs. and all-day suckers.
 We talk glibly enough about changing America. But there arc a few institutions which seem to enjoy perennial youth and yerer- able age at the same time. The county fair is one of these hardy annuals. Step insied the grounds and, but for a few alterations in the ancient scheme. one might we'll think himself in the eighties or nineties of the last century.

HIGHER MILK PRICES
(Hartford Times)

(Hartford Times)
 It is not because of q scarcity of milk that the order raising the price was made. It was to give the producer a better price. There Is less milk than some months ago but ample supplies are available.
 It may seem an anomaly to say that the milk problem Is "knotty," It Is one of the hardest of all trade-in dustry- agricultural prob ieins to solve, because 1t partakes of all three aspects and therefore represents intenslfication of the Fundamental troubles of oyer-sup- ply and under-demand.
 The consumer wants cheap milk the distributor demands 'a margin of profit. while the farmer. pro- ducing more than his market can absorb, frequently has to take less than q living price. There Is no way to heal the situation save by in- creasirg the price to the consumer and then see to 1t that the farmer gets his fair share. It is for that purpose the milk board exists and that purpose underlies it's recent order.

He Liked To Bet
 But She Hated It
by BRUCE CATION

The dyed in -the-wool gambler Is not just D man who likes to pet. He Is an improvident and needless chap who has managed somehow to become an adult without ever acquiring an adult viewpoint, and between himself and the settled citizens of the world there Is q chasm that cannot ever be bridged.
 These profound medltations arise from q reading of ". K. Burnett's excellent new novel, "Dark Hayard."
 Dark Hazard" tells about Jim Turner, who follows the ponies. Jim Is the most confirmed Of gamblers. He Is rich one day and flat broke tho next, and what ever elne life may be for him 1t is never dull.
 Jim presently enters q strait laced Ohio town and marries one Margaret, q girl who is every thing that he Is not. She longs for responsibility and he does not; she wants q settled home and he wants to wander; she wants Q steady income, even if 1t is small, and he wants the gam bler's succession of rich wind falls and long dry spells.
 Naturally enough, they don't make Q go of 1t. They can't; one or tho other has to be crushed out of shape. Marg tames Jim in- to responsibility for while, then he leads her off to the tracks; she drags him back to small town iiprightness, and at last he breaks loose again, wanders off irrespon- sibly-and their marriage is over; story out safaa' of it sfH' ai. He e' as sfHe tSe knack Of making his rough edged characters real enough to sock you on the jaw. Jim Turner is one of his best; Dark Hazard" Is perhaps his best book.
 Printed by Harpers at $2.50, it Is the September choice of the Book of tho Month Club.
