ONE BILL WHICH MAY
RE AMENDED

When the national congress convenes
next month, there is one bill passed by
the last congress which is almost GER
tain of consideration. 1t is the Walsh
Healey Act, regulating hours and wages
of firms submitting bids for government
contracts. Coming along after NRA, it
was an attempt to re-enact in different
form some of the terms of that ill-fated
measure. 1t fitted admirably under the
constitutional scheme.
Here is the catch. The navy depart
ment recently found no bidders to fur
nish 2,635, 900 pounds of copper. No
bids were Forthcoming on 171,000 barrels
of fuel oil for the navy and allied de-
partments. Bids for foodstuffs have
been left blank Other similar predica-
ments have faced various government
departments.
Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins
is worried-and congress may be asked
to do something, if other measures fail.

BRINGING ALL
THE NEWS TO
IMPERIAL
VALLEY
WATERFRONT WORKERS
UNDERMINE THE UNIONS

Through years of steady, sane prog
ress the American Federation OF Labor
has built up in the minds of the Amer
lean people a sense of trust and respect
for union labor Now comparative
handful of laborers on the Pacific coast
waterfronts are tearing down in mat
ter of months what it took years to
build. There is no surer, faster way 10
discredit the unions in the public mind
than that taken by striking maritime
workers. Their efforts will do more to
disrupt union labor than to strengthen
the cause of the working man.
If other branches of the American
Federation of Labor have any influence
over the maritime workers, now is the
time il should be used. Unluckily for
the unions, the American puollc does
not discriminate between craft unions
and other unions, or between unions of
anv kind. The man who does not belong
regards one union as an example of all.
It is the wrong attitude-but it is the
one rapidly taking shape in this country.
The maritime strike is costing the JOBS
of MANY men not directly engaged IN 1t.
It is sending food prices up. 1t is inter-
fering with transportation, and with
thousand and one pleasures and neces-
stiles of the average man. mat is All
he knows. but it is enough for him. he
bames the unions.
Now. if ever. is the time for union
labor to clean its own house OF the
undesirable e m n I s. Any element
which discredits efforts to obtain Just
privileges for the laborer is an undeslr-
able element-and that is just what the
maritime workers are doing, intention
ally or not.

the indoor sport of looking down

WASHINGTON Hardly anything could have
hurt President Roosevelt more than the death
of Gus Gennerlch, his intimate personal iiieho
and bodyguard. 81.
The president will be loneher man-how
much lonelier only those of the White House
inner circle can realize. ,t.-.
Gennericn was almost part OF the presl-
dent around whom his entire life centered. He
was never rewarded with power or public honor
which he didn't seek, but Roosevelts affection
for him became at least as great as the presl-
sent had had for any other man.
Gennerich. whose first ambition was to be
"a cop" became a member of the family and
sat at table with the RooseVsits. He was the
presidents trainer and maSseur who always
handled his wheel chair, who lifted him up and
put him down. ..,.-
His friends say he was the bravest man they
ever knew Always alert in the presidential auto
mobile in the possible line OF fire 1t was Gus
who jumped in front of his chief when zangara
started shooting at Miami four years ago.

against the holding company bill.
The presidents children visit the White House
nfrequently. And in the industrial-financial
centers of New York are old friends who are
hardly on speaking terms with Roosevelt any
more unless they happen to be seeking favors.
All of which will give idea what the loss
of Gus Gennerich means to F.DR. Today the
only one left among those who have exchanged
full measures of loyalty, devotion, and friend
ship with the Man in the White House is
Marguerite LELAND. She is the confidential
secretary whom her friends call "MisSie," who
takes dtication from the presidential bedside
each morning, and in whom are repoSed the
most personal secrets of her boss
Gus used TO sit outside the ooor of the presi-
dents oval office. He spent his time writing
letters The letters were always to kid victims
of infantile paralysis at Warm Springs, and it
is said that he corresponded with about 30 of
them.
They all adored him. His invariable saluta-
ton to each of them was ''HoWya pal?"
And. that was the same way Gus Saluted

HIRING HALLS
FOR FARM WORKERS

The American Farm Bureau Federa-
tion's action in turning thumbs down on
the idea of hiring halls for agricultural
labor is one which will be applauded by
every practical farmer. Regardless oil
the right or left wing aspect of attempts
to unionize agricultural workers, there
is a practical argument which cannot
successfully be refuted.
It might not cause irreparable dam
ape to automobiles or other merchandise
shipped by sea if they are held up Tor
a time in waterfront warehouses; II
might not put merchant out OF ousl-
ness-although it would cause him huge
losses-if he were unable for while to
replenish his stock But it would with
ont doubt cause ruin to farmer II his
nerishable crops were held over for
matter of DAYS, even, pending hiring
hall decision on assignment OF laborerS
to him.
The very nature of agriculture makes
it necessary for the farmer to hire ms
men when he needs them, for the PERIOD
he needs them, without dickering during
lengthy conferences about terms OF en-
nlovment as laid down in a centrally
controlled hiring hall. Delay ruins
perishable crop, as its name lmplies.
DELAY has been the history OF hiring
halls.
Let the farmer agree to reasonable
wage and hour provisions with his en-
ployes. Let him make just provision
for their needs while on the Job-but do
not expect him to deal through a hiring
hall that will mean ruin for him.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
ALAMEDA Times STAR

William Feather is a manufacturer of USE
full article and in the process OF going after
business issues a clever little booklet in which
he talks out loud about lot OF things. In
recent number, a question is replied to that is
thought provoking enough to be passed along.
Said the inquirer: Might the day not come
when il is possible to pay the lowliest employe
Of great corporation $500 a year and the
highest officer a maximum of $4,000 year?
Here's Feathers answer: Socialistic state
and a universal brotherhood would be within
easy reach if it were not for women. Pract-
cay all men are good sports. They like their
fellows for what they and not for what
they have They admire each other for what
each can do soldier thinks the cook is as
good as the general. Men wouldn't fight over
things and position. They would quickly fix
up a system under which responsibility would
be divided They'd laugh at any member of the
tribe who worked Is hours a day when he
might loaf ten and work six. But women won't
let men be themselves. The socialistic state
doesn't fit the nature of women. Women crave
class distinction, position, security, differentia
ton They expect their men to achieve these
things for them. Pity the poor male who re-
volts. He will be nagged to the grave.
OF course, Mr.. Feather says he wasn't
ious about this merely wanted to give our in
quiring friend something pleasant to discuss
with his wife at the dinner table.

THE BRAWLEY POWER PLANT
SETS A RECORD

Business men find the report Of the
public power plant at Brawley an inter-
esting one When the Imperial Irriga-
ton District announced that the munich
pal plant had established a new system
record for generation and sale of cleo
trical energy, it was an announcement
fraught with success, and an announce
ment of vital interest to Imperial Valley
residents.
II means simply this: that the sue
cess of the Brawley plant to date is far
greater than that which could be ex-
pected by any private individual or firm
in a like period of time. 1t means that
the public, realizing its own ownership
of the system, is giving patronage in
excess of that which would be given to
a private firm in service the same length
of time.
The Brawley plant is proving, with
out loss of time, the feasibility of muni-
cipal power ownership in Imperial Val
ley.

took of nothing in the way of home
breakfast but a nibble of toast and
a sip of coffee. Then to be in robust
trim he left early and heeled off
several brisk miles enroute to the
Baron's apartment. He was shown
into enormous drawing room where
a half dozen long serving tables
we're piled with their groaning loads.
The Duke was there, sashed and
