vent any government purchases from
manufacturers other than those COM
plying with MIRA provisions. 1t was
a week or more ago that he issued the
executive order that precludes the
award of government contracts to any
bidder not member of MIRA. Some
observers here are saying that this
order is going to cost the government
a considerable sum of money. 1t has
the effect of limiting the number of
bidders. Although one may say that
nearly every firm of consequence is
flying the Blue Eagle, there are very
few that have not in some way or
other violated its provisions. do not
charge that they have done SO inten-
tionally; the facts indicate the con-
trary, but there have been thousands
of violations wholly because it seems
impossible to meet every requirement
all of the time. ..

Problem of Relief

1t is well to remember, in this con-
nection, that Mr.. Roosevelt and his
advisers have the problem of relief
on their hands. AS I reported some
weeks ago, the CWA form Of taking
care of a part of the unemployed is
to be discarded because, frankly, it
has been a flop. That leaves only the
principles of MIRA by which jobs can
be supplied if they are to be provid-.
ed. Of course, the administration has
the responsibility of supplying work
now. It started out with many high
sounding phrases about social justice
and the unemployed are now wanting
to know something in the form OF
beans for the belly.
Thus, it becomes plain how bitter
this struggle is to be. The admins
tration's political life appears to be
on the spot. It cannot, dare not, adj
NIT defeat. It probably will not be de-
feated in its encounter with industry,
but one should not make the mistake
of believing that victory will come
easily. The conclusions / hear most
frequently expressed indicate to me
that the administration and its MIA
ideals will win eventually because
there are 80 many more employees
than employers. Mr.. Roosevelt can

DO IT NOW

DO IT NOW
The National Unemployment Serv-
ice is making it a requirement that
employers of labor obtain their help
from only those people who are regis
tered. This is government regula-
ton and the employers nor any local
agency has thing to say about the
service or its management. The reg
istration officer will have absolutely
nothing whatever to do with the Sc
lection of the help. The employers
make their own selections but they
must be made from among those
whose names are on record. So there
Is nothing to fear in getting your
name on the records If you want q
job this summer. Men for all lines,
and women who wish employment in
the fruit houses or the cannery must
be selected from those whose names
are on file with the MRS registrar.
Better get your name on the list now!

MIRA Nears Test

Washington.-It begins to appear
that the principles of NRA, upon
which President Roosevelt has stalk
ed so much, are approaching a test.
Despite the Roosevelt assertion that
MIRA is here to stay, it seems that
there are quite few who are not
satisfied with them. They have re-
volted, at last. The challenge APP
pears to have been given, and it is
up to the administration to fight it
out now. It is not too much to say
that If the administration is victor
ious, MIRA principles in the nations
economic structure are here to stay.
If it fails, the story will be different
and no one can say what the course
then will be.
Disquieting conditions resulting
from labor provisions of the codes,
particularly the automobile industry
code, the threats, the rumbles, the
dissension among political leaders,
all constitute circumstance that
must be examined together in order
to recognize the serious nature of the
! SSot IIldI SOLlIOuGS f1lIu Wu6u
refer to dissension among politicians
include not only the differences of
opinion on NRA; the disagreement
runs much farther and embraces
many points of party policy. Indeed
on the basis of the undercurrent of
talk In congress, Mr.. Roosevelt has
suddenly found himself faced by a
breach with the legislative body that
is not going to be healed easily.
The circumstances seen by observ-
ers here in their efforts to piece the
picture together demonstrate also the
thing so many people long have be-
Geved, namely, that theorists cannot
get along together indefinitely. Mr..
Roosevelt's brain trust, as it is pop
ularly called, has dissension in it's
ranks. No two of the professors ap-
pear to be holding to the same theo-
ries now, although agreeing thus far
az to the objective sought. They are
jealous of each other and some of
them actually have become backyard
gossips about others. Which, to use
IN old expression, is fine kettle of
fish.
TO advert again to the test Of NRA
principles, the situstion as We see j,
In Washington is simply this: vast

count upon a majority of the people
to be behind him, therefore, because
the big majority are folks who work
for their bread and butter. Self-pres-
ervation continues to be the first law
of nature, despite theory.
In the present situation, the issue
has been joined chiefly on the COM
pany union question. 1t is an out
growth of the overreaching which /
believe was done by supporters of the
American Federation Of Labor in the
demands when the national recovery
act was written. / do not blame the
federation leaders. They, like every
one else, are out to get for their adj
herents as much as they can But
their insistence for labor protection
through the legislation and the influ-
ence which they welded on General
Johnson apparently as viewed from
this point, were a little bit too strong.
In other words, they went so strong
in their demands that they caused the
employers to fight back.
The MIRA provisions on labor call
for unionizing all employees. The
American Federation of Labor says
that means affiliation with their in
stitution and it has fought bitterly for
that result. Industries and employ
ers generally disagree with that idea.
General Johnson has sided with labor.
He has Donald Richberg, longtime
attorney for labor unions, as his
right hand man in MIRA, and Mr..
Richberg surely has backed up the
generals plans, if, indeed, he did not
formulate them.

Air Mail Controversy

The air mail controversy continues
to rise up to plague the Roosevelt adj
ministration. judge from the cur
rent conversation in Washington, that
sundry administration officials would
willingly miss couple of good meals
if they could retract and cause peo-
pie to forget the jibe made at Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh because his av-
iation company released his protest
about cancellation of the air mail
contracts before it was delivered to
the President. That White House
statement saying that the transatlan-
tic flyer was discourteous to Mr..
Roosevelt fits around like fly in the
room when you want to sleep late.
The White House and the War de-
partment insist that their attempt to
get Colonel Lindbergh on the army
aviation investigating committee was
made because of the colonels super
Tor knowledge of aviation. Yet, all
denials to the contrary and all insist
ence of sincerity have not downed a
widespread belief that appointment of
the colonel was hoped to serve as an
antidote, a sleeping potion, to offset
his criticism of the contract cancel
lation.
Political observers here are point
ing out that administration made an
ill-advised move in seeking to appoint
Lindberg without first having gone
through quiet move to find out his
reaction in an informal way. That
usually is done with appointments.
The failure to have emissaries 60
around and ask the colonel whether
he would serve on the investigating
committee left him in a position to do
some more talking. If he accepted of
course, he would not do any more
talking about the cancellation of con-
tracts. Tt would have been improper
for him, as something of Judge, to
convict before he heard the evidence.
Those who know the colonel intimately
say he would have observed the rules.
But, Colonel Lindbergh did not ac-
cept, and when he refused to be ma
neuvered into a position of silence,
if it was maneuver, he could pro-
test again with assurance that it
would get countrywide publicity. 1t
did just that.

The Yakima irrigation project. en-
bracing irrigation in Kittitas, Yakima
and Benton counties, lying along the
Yakima river, has made the best rec
ord of any project ever constructed
by the government. Competent engin-
GERS and agriculturists have unani-
mously reported in favor of complet-
ing the whole project, including the
Yakima high line and the Kennewick,
yet with hundreds Of millions being
spent on numerous new projects, not
comparable with the Yakima in re-
suits of the past or expected in the
future, the present administration
passes up this proven project and
starts developing more expensive and
less promising projects all over the
west. The Washington congressional
delegation will have a lot to explain
to the voters of central Washington
unless they are able to put this pro-
ject on an equality with those of 9TH
er states Ellensburg Record.

Counter Irritant

As a counter irritant in the situa-
ton, some of the employers have con-
tended that if employees in their re-
spective plants organized themselves
into union Of their own, there was
compliance with the law. They have
insisted on this to the extent of re-
fusing to deal on wage questions with
any delegates excepting those from
their own plants. A negotiator affl-
lated with the American Federation
of Labor was welcomed in those
plants just as warmly as most of us
welcome a rattlesnake.
AS further bit of history it should
be recalled that Mr.. Roosevelt early
smelled the trouble that could come
under the labor provisions so he set
up the national labor board, of which
Senator Robert Wagner, of New
York, is the chairman. It was to be
something of an appeals board, a
body for review of complaints. But
somehow, that body also construed
the law as against company unions
and the employers were baked
again.
So now there is a definite and con-
certed effort to break down the pro-
gram that an organization of en-
ployees must be affiliated with the
American Federation Of Labor before
it is acceptable to the powers that be
in Washington. It is a row that is GO
ing to continue for some weeks.
There will be strikes of greater or less
consequence; there may be some riots
and some bloodshed and surely there
will be much oratory, very little of
which will be from people who are
conversant with all phases Of the
problem.
AS a part and parcel of the Roose-
welt attack, or counter movement,
against opponents Of the MIRA, it is
generally believed in Washington that
the President used his powers to pre-

segment of industry has had craw
full of professional theories. It has
found that codes cost industry money,
reduce chances of profit and destroy
age-old trade practices. It is fighting
back, and it is not important to this
phase of the discussion that industry
has seized on the company union as
distinguished from recognized Amer
lean Federation of Labor chapters as
the issue in the opening battle.
The administration has started to
fend off industry's challenge by re-
sorting to a counter attack in the
form of demand that hours Of labor
be shortened. It has accepted the
challenge of industry to the extent
that it has called upon industry to use
its much bruited organized indi-
vidualism" to manage it's own affairs.
And it is not amiss to point out just
here that the success industry has
with its first venture on this line will
be measured by the amount of slack
in unemployment which it can take
up.

STRANGE


It seems passing strange that more
of our citizens were not present at
the concert given by the Walla Walla
Orpheus club Sunday afternoon. This
group of men who came over from
Walla Walla to sing here get nothing
for their trouble, and they rendered a
delightful concert. The small charge
at the door was simply to defray act
ual expenses, the singers receiving
nothing for their time and trouble.
It was splendid gesture of friendli-
ness on the part of the visitors and
those who attended the concert were
more than pleased with the program.
More should have heard it.

The tragedy Saturday night once
again brings to mind one of the ex-
penses the city must soon face. The
bridges across the canal were suit
able for the old days when horse
drawn vehicles were all that travelled
the roads. Now the transportation
has speeded up and there must be
something done about the canal
crossings. They are too narrow and
are unsafe at best. The crossing at

the school house is particularly dang
erous. Every days delay makes just
that much more chance for a serious
accident. While we realize that
bridges are expensive, no money val
ue can be placed upon child's life.
It's a wonder that serious accident
has not happened here long before
this.
