Local 5H Takes Hand
In Forum Strike

Stops All Deliveries and
Threatens Further Direct
Action Unless Firm Sur.
renders to "UniOn" De-
mands
Well, old 574 finally horned in
on the Forum strike. 1t halted
meat deliveries early in the week
and admits its intention of halt
ing all others unless the company
surrenders to the demands of q
new union-dominated, of course,
by 574.
1t appears that the Forum man.
agement is guilty of discharging
an employee who couldn't deliver
the goods. In brief, one incap-
able of performing the duties he
was hired to perform. This gent
Immediately dashed down to
union" headquarters and signed
as member. That was enough.
The strike was called when the
management refused to re-employ
chap who was physically or
mentally incapable Of doing the
work required.
Looking at this question of
"hiring and firing from an un-
biased standpoint it strikes the
average citizen that the right to
employ carries with it the right
to discharge. II not, then the en-
tire employment is built on the
most flimsy of foundations.
No union hired this fellow to
work for the Forum; the man.
agement did, upon the fellows
assertion that he was qualified to
fill the position. When the man
agement found him incapable and
unqualified, it merely reversed
its status and Cancelled the verbal
employment. Just where does the
business agent, or 574, come into
the picture? Except by butting
in, it doesn't enter a-tall.
But speaking of the strike
against the Forum:
1t is located in the loop, just
around the corner from Nicollct
avenue. For weeks the radicals
and communists (both found in
the same incubator) have been
planning a strike against Nicollet
avenue department stores. They
have been waiting only for the
psychological moment "a gi-
gantic sales programme call the
strike and when they do, plate
glass will be the cheapest COM
modify anywhere along the city's
main stem.
Possibly the strike against the
Forum was set as the initial step
in the greater strike to come.
Time and not much of that, will
tell.
Will the mayor order police
protection to the Forum? Why
ask such simple questions? The
answer is no! Not without Sc
curing the consent Of Local 574.

VICE CRUSADERS
By McMann

Pure and Holy notions, that he is
in the crusade against vice be-
cause his conscience is bothering
him, and he cannot rest until vice
dens are padlocked and bawdy
women driven from the city. A
very holy roller, indeed, the vice
crusader.
Our most militant vice crusaders
are church men who, as we remark
ed before, are motivated by Pure
and Holy notions. In spite of
their adherence of vice, they say
they are the only persons with
the true tolerance. They say
they have the greatest pity and
tolerance for the street angels"
and tawdry butterflies who work
at the worlds Oldest Profession,
but, they declare, these creatures
must be driven out of town in
order to rid the city of vice.
The rankest kind of piffle !!
While men are lonely and wo-
men desperate, the worlds oldest
profession will continue. 1t cam
not be driven out, only curtailed
and regulated.
There was a situation in To-
ledo, Ohio, some years ago, which
approximates the situation in
this city today. Driven on by a
sudden affliction of Pure and
Holy notions, ministers of To-
ledo called on Mayor Golden
Rule" Jones and complained bit
terly because Jones did not drive
| the scarlet women out of the city
and close down all resorts.
Wearying of their complaints
Mayor Jones called a meeting Of
the ministers, and asked them
where they proposed having him
drive the women-into Lake Erie
or Cleveland? The ministers had
no decisive answers ready on
that score, and Jones advised
them to think the matter over
for a week and then return for
another meeting.
A second meeting was held,
still without any constructive So
luton on the matter from the
ministers. Mayor Jones then
spoke:
"My wife and | have talked
this thing over pro and con. 1t
will be quite impossible to get
work for all these unfortunate
( women at once, but while we are
getting work for them they We got
to be taken care of. I've got
large house, and my wife and /
have figured that we can take six
of these women into our home
until we find employment for
them. Now, I'd like to find out
how many of these women each
of you ministers can care for in
your homes until jobs can be got
for them?"
There wasn't single response
from the Brethren of Pure and
Holy Notions and High Priest
of the True Tolerance. Not a
single response.
And how many of the brethren
of the cloth here in Minneapolis
would be willing to take their
religion literally and help succor
our street angels"

TOO MUCH NON-CO-
OPERTIVE CO.OPERA.
TON
Continued from page y

cebt achen something important
develops or is about to develob!
A small illustration without iden-
titive name:
Directly over the headquarters
OF one of these organizations was
located a large branch of fed
eral government bureau, employ
ing many men and women. One
night, beginning Immediately
after Office hours, the federal
branch moved out and the first
intimation this huge local organ.
ration had of the move, it Sc
cured from the morning edition
of the Tribune next day. 1t may
have learned some of the minor
details from the janitor though |
can't vouch for that.
Now it is plainly apparent that
the move of the federal Offices
was decided upon many days, If
not weeks, before the transfer
companies were called into action
There must have been some extra
shuffling of desks and feet in the
rooms directly above the officials
of the local organization, but they
didn't register! 1t was time to
quit so they dashed home while
transfer of great bureau and
the shifting of several score
workers to another city, was TAX
ing place within pin-ball range OF
their main office!
This is not an isolated case.
An investigation would doubtless
disclose many others, a0here men
IN full charge Of an organisation
organised and financed ostemsibly
to look after the aVelfare of the
city, zVent to sleep at the S71tch!
Well never get anywhere with
or under leadership of that type.
We can't make Roadway with
generals and sand-admirals SO
thick they fall over each other
and money spent in their unkeep
and perpetuation is money
thrown to the birds-who prefer
it ground.
Some weeks back, represen-
tative group of business and pro-
fessional men held a meeting
about three hundred of them.
They tried to get together. They
saw the necessity of genuine
cooperation and, regardless OF
what group they represented,
they organized a committee. They
were agreed that a Capitalization
of EFFORT was essential if
progress was to be made. They
went as far as they could under
the circumstances. They had no
authority to pledge their particu-
lar group or league or lodge or
association to anything but they
hoped to be able to arouse some
interest looking toward a central,
a live and efective committee.
They hoped to be able to induce a
voluntary reduction in the num-
Der of generals and correspond
ing increase in the number of
buck privates or at least non-com
officers.
From the meager reports
have had their efforts to induce
most of the small generals with
their private collection Of private
secretaries. to get down to a CO.
The Saturday press. (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1927-1936, 1936-03-28

started from-a lack of co-opera-
tive cooperation. We have ac-
tually witnessed an increase in
the number of '1ip-lip" generals
and no forward movement. One
doesn't marvel at the discourage
ment of these sincere men none
of whom had a desire to become
dictator or commander in chief,
but one marvels at their mex
haustible stock of patience and
unlimited hope.
| want to call the attention of
these too-many aspiring leaders
to a few pertinent facts:
A few years ago-three at the
most-the radicals, now in abso-
lutte control of the city were oper-
ating in scattered groups. All
headed for the same goal, but all
taking a different road and every
group under a special command
err. There was nothing vitality
important 'on" at that time.
Then came the truckmen s strike.
Immediately began an amalgama-
ton of all radical organizations.
Legitimate labor organizations
were reorganized to fit the emer-
gency; their leaders sat in con-
ference with communist leaders /;
orders were issued from COM
munist headquarters; but re-
cruits were accepted from
sources that had never had and
will never have sympathy with
organized labor or orderly So
ciety. Individual organizations
maintained their identity but they
boaced to the higher authority
those radicals and communists
culled with great care and select
ed with infinite pains from groups
renowned for their militancy and
ability to lead.
AS a result, when the time
came for showdown between
orderly government and disor-
derby mobs, these radical lead
ers were able to secure the back
ing and military assistance of the
governor of the state.
Our disorganized and weak
leadered associations, leagues,
committees and groups, each jeal-
Gus of the other, each striving to
continue hoping that it would
survive the storm and, to be bru-
tally frank, each hoping its IT,
nancial stream 70onldn't De
choked off by a competitor Sc
cured nothing.
There's a difference of opinion
as to who won that strike-the
strikers or the business men, the
law or outlaws = but on one
point we must all agree:
The outlaws are today in full
control of the city. They tell the
mayor what to say, what to do
and, not infrequently WHO to
do and when they require llloIe
assistance than the mayor can
supply, they need only to call
on the city council 7CIlich they
control by a safe majority. Our
business and professional mems
organizations, lacking in cooper
alton and leadership get nothing
because they haze done nothing
except pass resolutions and hold
do1Vn their jobs!
Now it is painfully apparent
that we will get nowhere until

HIuSt OS iidu VI VIC lldu d. VIGIL
admit that the brains of the city
are incorporated in the radical
and communist organizations. Let
me give one illustration:
There is no city on this CONT
nent where cooperation is SO
finely evidenced as in the city of
Los Angeles, Calf. Petty strife
there is, certainly, among various
organizations of business and
professional men, but when a
crisis faces any industry, any
business group in Los Angeles,
the Merchants & Manufacturers
Association takes complete
charge.
There is no squabbling, no de-
batting, no brovdStindtion, no
time lost in presenting a united
front. The word goes out to
every smaller organization to
get in line" and Immediately the
line is formed. That's co-obera-
tom! Something we haven't got
here in Minneapolis but some
thing we II have to have in Min
neapolis if aoe are ever to rid
the community of communist and
radical control. There's no other
possible way, not even the I'M
portation of Is thousand dollar
per year "sleuths' to locate some
thing that any half-wit could spot
out in half a day and for a pack
age of cheap cigarettes.
My suggestion, if | dared offer
one to the super-brains of our
befuddled business and profes.
sional men, would be to send to
Los Angeles and secure the ser.
vices of an expert; have him
come to Minneapolis and give
our organization experts "a post
graduate course in real co
operative cooperation. You
chaps had as well contribute
to something sadly needed
in your effort to drag yourselves
out of a self-made dilemma as to
contribute it toward the perpetu-
alton of organizations that are in
capable of rendering assistance
during a crisis.
AS I'm 'in Dutch" to my
highest eyebrow, I'll wade IN fur
Their:
Let each organization that real
ly has the welfare of the city at
heart, select one, not more than
two, delegates to a general meet
ing of all groups, leagues, associa-
tons and organizations OF business
and professional men; work fast ;
then issue a call for such meet
ing to be held within two weeks.
Wake nbi n feao snappy move-
ments, physical and mental, a0on't
fatally Djnre you.
AT that meeting for a central
committee, select one organiza-
ton that will represent all small
er organizations and give that
committee fnlt b0aVer to act for
all organizations!
Adopt plan of action similar
to if not identical with, the Los
Angeles plan. Some of you boys
may be able to figure out a plan
whereby you can "cut in" on the
glory, but forget personal emolu-
ment, forget everything except
that Minneapolis needs You,
needs your cooperation, needs
your best effort to return it to
