Swedish Government
Plans To Take Over
Numerous Industries

Further steps towards government
ownership and operation OF Sweden's
industries and public services may be
taken during the current session Of
the Riksdag which opened on Janu-
airy II.
Proposals for State control of radio
broadcasting and aviation and the sale
Of drugs, coffee, gasoline and fuel oil
are expected to be pushed by Swed-
ems Socialist government. The sale
Of liquor and tobacco are already pro-
fit-making government monopolies.
The wholesale drug business under
the new plan would be carried on by
a company directed by government
appointed executives. More Than half
the capital stock would belong to the
State. The rest would be offered for
sale to members Of Swedish drug and
a%pothecary societies or to their pension
funds.
The cost of drugs to the consumer,
il is hoped, will be reduced by one
half. This would be done by limiting
the dividends of the drug company to
five per cent and by the economies Of
large-scale buying and central nan
%facture. Retail stores would also be
regulated and workers who are chron-
ically III would be given low prices
and special rebates.
Under the proposed plan for radio
all broadcasting would be controlled
by a board consisting OF six govern
ment representatives and three private
members. As at present, expenses will
be met from the sale Of receiving-set
licenses, but the profits would be de-
voted to improvement of the service.
Free licenses would be given to in
valids and to the aged. They are now
given to the blind only.

Objectionable Features of CCC
Camps

In an article, "Neglecting the Unemployed,
Edgar I. Syverud objects to having CCC boys
sent into the county to finish work on the Medi-
cine Lake dam.
Here is one time when we agree with Mr..
Syverud. He is right when he objects to this
work being done by CCC workers when there
is so much work needed for the people living in
the county.
However, Syyerud objects only on the basis
that CCC boys are outside workers, not residing
in the county. 1t seems he would have no OBJ
lection if local boys were sent there to work for
a dollar a day. He does not recognize that one
feature of the CCC camps is to force down relief
wages to a still lower level
1t seems that he is also perfectly in ignorance
as to other characteristics of the Gee camps
which to workers and farmers are strongly OBJ
jectionable. What about the militaristc features
OF the camps, Mr.. Syverud? Have you no OBJ
lection to the preparation Of cannon fodder?
Perhaps you are not convinced that the main
objective of these camps is the training of a re-
serve army of soldiers. However, you must
know that the war department is in charge of
these camps. Did you ever stop to think why?
Undersecretary Of Wa Woodring, in an ar
ticle early this year in Liberty, described the
CCC camps as a training ground for economic
storm troops and "for social security against
chaos" At that time the u. S. Army was con
sidering the drafting Of $4,000 youths from the
CCC camps directly into the army.
Just when the Pacific coast general strike last
year reached its climax, the war department SER
we'd notice that the cOmmandant of the Ninth
Corps Area, with headquarters in San Francisco,
could send troops in without consulting Wash
ington. When asked how many soldiers were
available, an official answered "13,1l7, counting
civilian military training and Civilian Conserva-
ton Corps forces" as though it was assumed
these, too, like regular soldiers, would be ex-
pected to shoot their fellow workers on strike.
1t is not strange that CCC camps remind one
OF the stockyards where PREPARATION for slaugh-
ter is going on.

Company Unions Should Be
Outlawed

A special research staff of the Twentieth Cen
fury Fund, whose trustees could not be charged
with any particular %pro-trade union bias, has
issued a report on company unions as part Of
a study Of the role of government in labor re-
lations. In view Of the general public interest
aroused in the so-called company unions by
the Wagner-C onnery Bill, the report is both val
liable and timely. A few of its conclusions are
herewith given:
Company unions" the reporters of the TWEEN
tieth Century Fund state, "are serious competi-
tors for membership with the regular trade un-
ions. About 100000 workers are now organic
ed under such plans, compared with a total trade
union membership of about 100000. An es-
pecially rapid growth in company unions has
occurred since 1888, due largely to the influence
of Section IA of the NRA -. Where trade un-
ions were unwelcome, the company union offer
ed itself as the obvious substitute, especially in
the mass-production industries"
Or the basis of an intensive Investigation Of
80 specific plants, the report further maintains,
it was revealed that company unions are us
ually inadequate agencies for collective bargain
ing because direct or indirect employer influence
can, in the nature of this type Of organization,
never be entirely absent While many plans
guarantee against discrimination, company un-
ion representatives, being on the employers pay
roll, are handicapped by fear that they may be
discharged, disciplined, or otherwise penalized
by the employer if they are too aggressive
Company unions can rarely back up their de-
mands by a strike threat Bargaining equal
ity cannot be maintained where one party has
aforementioned economic power.
A more s%uccinct Indictment of this illegiti-
mate offspring parading as a defender OF work
ers' interests II the company union = could
hardly be imagined. The temperate language
in which the report Of the Twentieth Century
Fund Investigators is couched adds to its con
vincing force. A copy Of this report should be
placed in the hands of every intelligent person
whose pen or word contributes to the moulding
of public opinion in this country. That fradul-
ent monstrosity, the company union, should be

Wichita Street Railway
Men Continue Strike
Police Chief Tries to Prevent
Strikers From Carrying Pas
sengers Free.

Wichita, Kans.-The employees OF the
Wichita Street Railway Company are
continuing vigorously the strike they
declared several weeks ago against the
Street Railway Company here for its
refusal to enter into negotiations with
the representatives OF the men for ad-
justment OF hours and wages conditions.
The company has put st~rikebreakers to
work while former employees walk the
streets.
After failing to persuade the COM
|pany TO enter into negotiations with
them, the striking employees inaugurated
"a plan to convey passengers to and
rom work free OF charge. The Wichita
chief OF police, who is said to have been
one Of the chief leaders in the move
ment to secure a State c%onstabulary for
Kansas, issued a decree to the strikers
ordering them to stop picking up free
passengers. The strikers called the
chiefs bluff by swapping their fingers
at his ultimatum and continued to carry
passengers without charge.
Every labor organization in Wichita
is back of the street railway employees,
but company officials persistently refuse
to recognize the right Of employees to
bargain collectively through represen-
~tatives OF their own choosing in ac-
cordance with Section IA OF the Ma
tional Recovery Act.

THE MIDDLEMAN'S
PROFIT

In the April issue of the Consumers
Guide there was some interesting in
formation which is offered with the
hope that Trade Unionists with their
education in Cooperative effort will
see and apply the apparent solution.
The article is headed Who Gets Your
Food Money and after some intro
ductory statements goes on to say:
Assume for the moment a market
basket containing a months supply Of
these ten important foods for a typi-
cal workingman's family. Into this
basket would go III pounds Of pork,
i4.S pounds of beef, 2 pounds Of hens,
81 dozen eggs, 1913 quarts Of milk, 81
pounds Of butter, IL pounds Of cheese,
598 pounds Of potatoes, III pounds OF
flour and 32.9 pounds of bread. As
sumo, too, that the same foods in the
same amount have gone into that mar
ket basket ever since before the war
that the foods were purchased each
month at average city prices; that far
mers received for the raw materials in
those foods average country prices.
Now let's see what has happened to
the cost Of the market basket and the
costs Of processing and distributing the
foods going into it,"
The following table and notation is
taken from the same article and should
c~onclusively demonstrate the value OF
cooperative effort.

lily and the amounts received by farm

Deport 200 Families To
Alaska To "Subsist"

DULUTH, Minn.-(FP)-Two hun
dred families from Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin and Michigan are being sent to
Alaska by relief authorities.
There, in the Matanuska valley, each
family will be given 40 acres of land,
a loan OF $1,000 from the government,
help in building a 4 or 5 room log cabin.
The government will wait 80 years be-
fore settling accounts and five years
before asking for 3 per cent interest
A well known politician has predicted
that the government will be bringing
them all back to the states soon.
Matanuska valley was formed by a
glacier moving down in the early ages,
leaving a coating Of rich black loom
10 feet deep. 1t is now covered with
exceptionally heavy underbrush. In
summer, the valley is infested with
mosquitoes. There are also plenty OF
bears and %porcupines.
The winters are not more severe
than in northern Minnesota, but sum
mers are about two months shorter,
The climate is not too good for farm
ing, other than for growing turnips
and stock feed.
There are no markets for the produce
and anything else but subsistence
farming seems put Of question. To
send produce to the states seems far
fetched because freight rates are pro-
hibitive.

Union Man Explains
Unemployment Due
To Foreign Mines
GEORGE. f. JOHNSON
President, Globe Federal Labor
Union.

Globe, Arizona, expresses views:
Why does labor need a tariff on
copper?
That is a question that may easily
be answered as all you have to do is
to walk down Broad street, Globe, or
Sullivan street, Miami, and see the
number Of men out Of work.
When the local copper mines were
working and producing copper, prac-
tically all the available labor in the
Globe Miami district was at work.
Now, just the opposite is true. The
only labor employed is or the jobs
that are few and far between.
We can not open the district mines
unless we gan get protection from
foreign imported copper. The labor
at the Globe Miami district can not
work unless the mines are operating
as the production Of copper is our
livelihood.
Unless we lower our standard Of
living we can not live like the Afri-
can copper miners in novels and eat
nothing but rice and soup.
Let us get the local copper mines
working again by. getting a ten-cent
tariff on copper.

The Right Of Collective Bargaining

Making secure and effective the right of work
ers to bargain collectively with employers is the
fundamental purpose of the Wagner-Connery
Labor disputes bill which passed the United
States senate and is now in the house of repres-
e~ntatives.
To emphasize this right the declaration of
policy Of the bill declares it is the policy of the
United States to encourage the practice of col
lective bargaining. In discussing the reason for
making collective bargaining a public policy, the
bill says:
"The inequality of bargaining power between
employer and individual employees which arises
out of the organization of employers in corpor-
ate forms of ownership and out of numerous
other modern Industrial conditions, impairs and

the valley. Anchorage is the nearest
town. Here are located the railroad
shops with a few hundred workers.
There is a small coal mine at Matanus-
ka, with a skeleton crew. There are
always more men than needed in Alas
ka, so the chances for employment
seem nil. Trains run once a week and
are often late because of nov storms
and other difficulties. No ships sail
into Anchorage, as the government has
diverted all passenger and freight traf-
fic to Seward in an effort to make the
Alaskan railroad pay.
Meat is a staple need. But there
is no grazing ground and not enough
ground is available for raising hay to
feed the cows for eight months Of
winter.
Since the only reason for settling
these families in Matanuska valley is
allegedly to provide them with subsis-
tence farms, many have asked why
they are being shipped to Alaska to
starve and freeze. There are warmth
and sunshine and land in the safes,
they point out.
According to government accounts,
1874 men will be sent with the first con
tingent OF settlers, which consists Of
81 families from Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Michigan, and which has already
arrived in San Francisco to take ship
for Alaska. The remaining 1873 families
will leave Seattle on May IS. Both
shipments will total about 1000 per-
sons.
