GENERAL STRIKES

THE general strike is the way Of suicide for
l. organized labor.
The history OF every attempted general
strike proves this: In Sweden, in England
where attempts we're on a national scale; in
Winnipeg and in Seattle. where attempts
we're limited TO local communities Few other
attempts are OF record. an argument in itself
Of the unwisdom Of the general strike.
In every case organized labor suffered
setback lasting many years.
This is true in part. because the basis
Of organized labor is the union contract and
any union which engages in a sympathetic
strike. can do so only BY breaking its own con-
tract with its employers. It destroys thereby
what it has obtained in most instances. by long
and painful processes.
As an institution which for more than
fifty years has supported the right Of labor to
organize and bargain collectively. the Scripps-
Howard newspapers feel free to remind or
gained workers Of this fact in any general
strike and to spell out the reason why such
strikes can not succeed.
An example Of labor relationship with
which we are particularly familiar is that
between newspapers and the typographical
union. With the union the newspapers have
contracts. These contracts specify certain
things. They specify wages, hours. working
conditions and payment for overtime. They
specify that the union shall supply compe-
tent men and define such competence.
The list of specifications is long and 1t is
designed to be to the mutual advantage Of en-
ployers and employees. 1t is arrived at by
collective bargaining. Relations are not al
ways harmonious. differences occur, some
times strikes and sometimes lockouts, but, yet,
the typographical union wouldn't think of
operating in any other manner and a vast
majority OF American publishers never would
propose that this regular, well-ordered system
be abolished
It is all based on the idea Of contract.
on the idea that so long as it is lived up to
by both sides. each party is obligated to It
and what goes on elsewhere can not affect it.
Several million organized working men
in this country are parties 70 such contracts.
A sympathetic or a general strike runs
counter to this whole system. It destroys this
relationship between empioye ana employer
and the destruction can not be repaired
quickly
At The same time something else is de-
stroyed In the case Of a strike in single
industry, part of the public is likely to be
sympathetic with the strikers. part Indifferent.
part hostile. This depends largely on the
merits of the dispute or on the pubhc's I'M
Outstanding. In the case of a general strike.
however. the public is certain to be wholly
hostile. The public. indeed. is made direct
party to the conflict. 1t obeys the first law Of
nature. It fights to save itself.
Which is why modern history has yet to
record a successful general strike.

OPEN DITCH IN
FRANKLIN CITED
By Pauline NJ. Harrison

BY Pauline NJ. Harrison.
AS a reader of your paper I am
deeply interested in the articles you
are publishing regarding open
bitches and the like.
We have just such a condition in
Franklin with an open ditch carry
ing nothing but filth running
through the heart of the town. 1t
is within a stones throw of the pub
lie grade school and four blocks
north of the court house.
I have written the state board of
health regarding this ditch after
making numerous appeals to the
city council with absolutely no re-
lief and I believe if you would send
a representative down here you
would get some good material for
an article in the series you are pub
fishing.

Some of the union workers have

that the "ex-forgotten man" wrote
about. We have better working con-

Our managers are guaranteed $l25

senior service men get 500 month
plus commissions. The stations are
checked by meters and each man is
allowed SIS a month to take care Of
any shortages which he might have.
If we are off a few days, due to sick

FAVORS LESS NEWS OF
FOREIGN TROUBLES

BY G. L.
The editorial Of July on Cen
sors seems to emphasize the great
value of the freedom Of the press
and liberty of speech.
If dictatorship and censorship
come, the newspapers and New Deal
obstructionists are to blame.
Why so many glazing headlines
about foreign rumors of war and
deniaIS in small print and obscure
places the next day? Why not
more OF nationalistic pride and
achievement Of America first?
Who wants to hear and read
about foreign entanglements when
we have to worry about our own
problems?
Let the war makers take a back
seat.

men fired queries.

about the San Francisco strikes"
Mr. Garrison ruminated
I'll have to consult counsel" he replied
finally.
| What will be its role IN the steel situation?'
I'll have to consult counsel
So the questions flew, with Mr.. Garrison as
siduously consulting counsel on each occasion.
! Only once did he venture to reply directly That
was in reply to a newsman who wanted to know
if the board would intervene in the auto situa-
! ton
| NO" deciSively answered Chairman Garrison.

Touched with apricot,
Flames Of prisms bright and hie
Flash and blind the eager eye

Drapes the sky with frills :
Suffused with light that fit
through,
Ancient gold that melts anew
And pQllrS upon the hills.
