Hronted," Howard Davis, chair

visions giving the Newspaper In
dustrial Board Jurisdiction over
all labor disputes. Mr.. Davis

"The action Of the National

San Francisco Call-Bulletin case
constitutes, in my opinion, an
attempt to usurp power over
the code for the daily news
paper publishing business which
IL specifically prohibited by Ar
.kicles vi and VII of the news
paper code.
"This attempt was character
lied by Donald r. Richberg,
former general counsel Of the

In his statement flIed with the
board on December 7, as a
breach Of faith by the Govern
ment."

HERE IS A GOOD ONE,

We now read that the Tennessee Val
ley Authority has sent the director of its
electric program and It's chief electrical
engineer to England 10 study the grid sys-
tenn Of power transmission and distribution.
1t Is a matter Of record that Sir An
drew Duncan, chairman Of England's Cen
trail Electricity Board, came all the way
from England 10 California for information
to guide him IN developing the English
grid system. and during May, 1929, spent
an entire week studying the Pacific Gas
and Electric Co.'S transmission and dis
tribution system in California
These Englishmen knew that this Cali
fornia company had pioneered in building
an interconnected network TO the highest
point Of efficiency.
1t is common knowledge that the
United States has been a pioneer and a
leader in electrical development and that
electrical engineers from all parts of the
globe have come to this country to learn
how to operate power projects.
Going to foreign countries, however,
to study electric systems is in line with the
general political program TO socialize the
electric industry in the United States along
European lines of bureaucratic control and
the destruction of private electric COM
panies.

compatible with that of song and dance
