ed Mr.. Longears and before he had
a chance to forget again he hoped
into the store and bought large
slice of cheese from the jolly old
rat gentleman who kept the place.
Now, I am all right" said Uncle
Wiggily to the Squiggler. Il can't

cheese with me and I'll take it
home. But here are some cheese
crumbs for you as you were very
kind to me-"
Thank YOU" buzzed the Squig-

1t did not take Uncle Wiggily
long to reach his hollow stump bum
galow. He was feeling rather proud
of himself for not forgetting the
cheese and when he hoped inside
with the package his wife said:
well, he remembered the cheese,

I'm so glad But how did it hap
pen?" asked the muskrat lady,
laughing.
"The Squiggler tickled my nose,
and 1 had a sneeze and then re-
membered cheese so everything is
all right" said Mr.. Longears.
I'VE shall soon see about that,
spoke Nurse Jane as she took the
package of cheese from the rabbit
gentleman and opened it. Then, all
of sudden, the muskrat lady
housekeeper gave little squeak like
a rubber ball and said: you
brought the wrong cheese!"
1.-The wrong cheese?" asked Nnclc
Wiggily's wife.
Don't tell me brought the wrong
cheese" begged Uncle Wiggily.
What do you mean?"
I'VE told you" said Mrs. Long

good but not Swiss. And we must

GENERAL GLASSFORD SPEAKS

1t is indeed gratifying to note that the
sentiments expressed in this column yes
terday relative to the activities of the
Cannery and Agricultural Workers In
dustrial Union and of the American Civ
il Liberties Union, in Imperial Valley,
coincide with those held by General Pei
ham D. Glassford as given In pubic
statement issued last night.
The generals statement was in the na-
ture of reply to a bulletin issued by the
Cannery and Agricultural Workers In
dustrial Union, which contained an at
tack upon General GlaSsford, charges he
was sent here to deceive the workers and
urges workers to prepare for a strike
in the cantaloupe crop.
In his reply to the union General
Glassford's outstanding statement Is: l
wish to assure the workers of Imperial
Valley that the officials and organizers
of this union have no interest in the well
fare of the workers. Their only objective
is to create dissension. destroy private
property and foment strike. Do not
follow the advice of these vile agitators.
To do so will bring destruction, despair
and hunger, and will add nothing to the
welfare of the workers.
The statement recounts the visit made
to the headquarters of the Cannery and
Agricultural Workers Industrial Union
in San Diego by General Glassford,
where he purchased several radical pa
pers printed in Moscow and other Com
munistic literature
While his statement, as given out, con-
tains no direct reference to the American
Civil Liberties Union, the activities Of
this organization in Imperial Valley
have been limited to defense of the acts
of the Cannery and Agricultural Work
ers Industrial Union. By coming to the
defense of this radical organization and
its agitators, the American Civil Liber-
ties Union becomes tarred with the same
stick.
This column said yesterday that the
people of Imperial Valley do not want
and will not tolerate interference in
their affairs either by the Cannery and
Agricultural Workers Industrial Union
or by the American Civil Liberties Un-
ion. General Glassford's statement en-
dorses that position
IT representatives of the two organiza-
ttions persist in coming here, they will
have to accept the consequences.

Dock Workers
Call Strike

GALVESTON, Tex, May l. U,P)
-Four thousand Texas dock work
ers, members of the International
Longshoremen's IS association, went

pay.
The strike affected workers here,
and at Houston, Texas City and
Corpus Christi.
Steamship operators said they
were helpless in the situation.
The strike operators originally
had been called some time ago but
was delayed by government inter-
yention.
The dockWorkers sought new con-
tracts increasing wages from 70 to
Is cents an hour and an increase
from 13 to 20 cents a bale for piece
work for handling cotton. The op-
orators offered as a compromise a
flat Is cents an hour. The work
ers refused the offer.

Money Lust Caused Depression

SALT LAKE CITY. Utah. U.P -
The depression is directly due to
a lust for money according TO
Bishop Ralph S. Cushman, one Of
the II general superintendents Of
the Methodist Episcopal church.
America is saturated with mate
rialism and a lust for money, that
while thousands of persons are suf-
lering from the depression they
cannot see that the desire for pos
sessions is really responsible for the
predicament, the bishop declared.

One Year of Section Ia.

A year has passed since Section Ia of the Ma
tional Industrial Recovery Act became the law
of the land. It was believed by some hopeful
souls a year ago that Section 7-a's purpose was
to stimulate the formation Of trade unions to
run parallel with trade associations. But the
ink of the Presidents signature was hardly dry,
the NRA was still a mere skeleton, when Messrs.
Johnson and Richberg made it plain that the Ad-
ministration did not intend to force trade unions
upon reluctant employers. The NRA would not
insist that the labor provisions of the codes be
the fruit of collective bargaining. The NRA
would not turn over the enforcement of these
provisions to organized labor. Thu NRA would
not demand, where trade unions existed, that
the employers recognize them and negotiate
agreements with them. The NRA would main
tain a strict neutrality between trade unions
and company unions, keeping an eye out only
for coercion. And the NRA, although it intend
ed to see that the workers were not done out
of their rights of collective bargaining, would
be equally scrupulous in seeing to it that nobody
interfered with the sacred right Of individual
bargaining between employer and employee. To
this position, or its close equivalent, Messrs.
Johnson and Richberg have held ever since.
Under Senator Wagner's influence, the Ma
tional Labor Board worked out a theory of Sec
ton Ia more comforting to organized labor than
that put forward by the NRA. True, the Labor
Board was created to suppress strikes - by soft
words and tactful urging. But in the process of
so doing the board fell back upon traditional dem
ocratic ideals and evolved, in substance, the fol-
lowing formula for the maintenance of Industrial
peace; Workers were to choose their represen-
tatives individuals or labor organizations at
secret elections. With these representatives the
employer was bound to bargain collectively. He
must recognize them, negotiate with them, and
exert every reasonable effort to execute with
them an agreement, preferably written, covering
wages, hours, and working conditions.
Montana labor news., 1934-06-21

Unfortunately, the board was without legal
powers, so that its Interpretation of Ia remained
a theory. A few strikes were ended; an occas-
ional employer was argued into treating with a
trade union that was pretty powerful to begin
with. But in practically every major attempt
to apply its theory of Ia, the board fell down.
1t could not get the owners of the captive mines
to recognize the United Mine Workers, election
results notwithstanding. 1t backed away from
Mr.. Ford in the Edgewater and Chester contro-
versies. It never succeeded in compelling the
Budd Manufacturing Company to bestow upon
its employees the benefits of an election under
Labor Board auspices. The Weirton Steel Com
pany defied the board on the election issue, and
has just defeated the board in the federal courts.
The President snatched the threatened automo-
bile strike away from the board, and Settled it.
The chief result of the boards attempts to apply
a democratic concept Of Section Ia was that a
group of Reading, Pennsylvania, hosiery manu-
f~acturers signed an agreement with a trade I'M
ion, and that another hosiery manufacturer in
Tennessee lost his Blue Eagle.
The NRA would not and the National Labor
Board could not do anything to help the trade
unions. But meanwhile, swapping out of its
depression lethargy, the A. F. OF L. began to or
game workers in mass-production industries,
for example, automobile and rubber, where the
trade union was formerly taboo. Some indivi-
dual unions, of the industrial rather than the
craft" type, were even more successful. The
United Mine Workers swarmed over into the
Appalachian area and compelled the non-union
operators to sign an agreement. The needle
trades unions consolidated their hold on the me-
tropolitan markets, and even made substantial
Roadway in the out-of-town open-shop regions.
The hosiery workers section Of the textile work
ers' union made trade unionism a reality in the
mills of Berks County and elsewhere. Even the
slumbering steel workers union awoke, with the
consequence that a general steel strike now
threatens.
But the anti-union employers fought back.
With the automobile and steel industries to the
fore, company unions sprang up on the indus
trial landscape like cacti after a desert rain.
Though ostensibly s%anctified by Section "a,
these unions were formed for the purpose of
shutting out any possible trade-union intrusion.
They are apparently here to stay. Nothing will
rid labor Of them save an avalanche Of strikes
with full union recognition as their primary OBJ
j%ective. Are Toledo and Minneapolis the pre-
monitory rumblings Of such an avalanche?
There and elsewhere it has been shown that or
gained labor cannot afford to pin its faith on
the wisdom and power Of a supposedly classics
government. Magma Chartas or no Magma Char
tas, it looks as though the trade unions in the
United States would be able to get from the big
business employers only as much as they are able
to win by force majeure.

Death Of RoIph Of
No Help to Labor

SAN FRANCISCO, (FP) TIL
death of Governor James Rolph, j.,
enemy of Tom Mooney and good-na-
tured r%eactionary, will not help labor.
Governor Frank B. Merriam, his
successor, is an American Legion mem
Der, a supporter Of Herbert Hoover,
and an ill-natured reactionary.
His taking over OF the office of gov
is likely to be followed by the
calling out Of troops to break the
dock strike and this will force labor
to call a general strike or back down
on its promise to the strikers.
1t is not believed that Merriam will
do anything for Mooney and in any
event his case is now on the way to
the United States Supreme Court and
may not be put before the new COVER
nor.
One of the causes Of Rolph's death
vas the tremendous resentment of the
country against his statement favoring
the San Jose lynching OF two young
men. The true story Of this lynching
that it was an effort OF San Jose
politicians to cover an underworld
murder committed to collect gambling
debts-has been told by but few pap
ers. The forces behind the lynchers
were leading politicians, allies and
neighbors Of Rolph. He was standing
by his cronies and seemed to have lit
tie anticipation of the reaction which
followed his approval Of the double
killing. 1t was quite a shock to an al
ready very sick man.
