AFTER THE STRIKE

While the student strike at the Asheviile Nor
NAL and Teachers college seems to be over, for
which all concerned may well be grateful we are
compelled to fear that it will be some time before
We shall have heard the last of it.
This is true, of course, because the strike at the
normal college was so out of character with the
institution, it's whole history, the opinion in which
I was widely held by all who have contributed
through the years to its support, by all who have
,ollowed its fortunes with friendly interest
1t is true also because the tone which the stu
dent strikes took in their demands in the methods
they pursued was out of keeping with the demands
themselves. How they could have been led into
taking such tone we do not know. The spirit
they manifested was not that which one would en-
pect of college girls especially from girls at col
lege like the Asheville Normal
Here in Asheville, as The Citizen said yesterday,
there must be deep concern for the future OF the
college after what has now happened. Much of the
money to support it has come from the Northern
Presbyterian church, drawn from all parts OF the
country. We can but hope that the damage 1t has
suffered will not prove irreparable 1t means a
great deal to the life of this community and Of this
section-Asheville Citizen.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
DRAGONS ON THE LOOSE AGAIN

Despite the settlement of the General Motors
strike on the basis that the United Automooie
Workers should represent only JAW members
and not all employees, and despite the agreement
between the steel companies and the Clo that the
union should speak only for its members, and not
all steel employees, the CIO has ordered that the
Chrysler Motor company be struck because 1t re-
fused to recognize the union as the sole bargaining
agent for all employees regardless of their union
or non-union status.
1t simply doesn't make sense for union to pun
q strike to obtain concession which it has fore
gone in two other Immediately preceding settle
ments Nobody, least of all John L. Lewis, we
should guess, expects the Chrysler strike to end
with the JAW nominated as the sole Bargaining
agent for all Chrysler employees
Why then, a rational person might inquire,
should strike be called against Chrysler? The
answer is easy and obvious. The strike is called
to enable the union to strut its stuff and to put
pressure on Chrysler workers to join the union.
It is more of sign-up campaign than it is strike
for higher wages and shorter hours and collective
bargaining 1t is, one might say, strike by JAW
members, probably minority, against JAW non
members Dragooning labor into labor movement,
we have called it; and that appears to be exactly
what it is-Charlotte News.

TIME TO HEED THE WARNING

Many events of the present day cannot be in
terpreted as promoting good government. Labor
union and employers should exercise self restraint
over their respective powers and recognize the
rights of the public. If they do not it leads to the
government stepping in and taking control to en-
sure peace and security. Using power without re-
sponsbility must be checked. When power is
abused it must be curbed.
Government is for the protection of all the peo-
ple--that is where the people cannot protect them
selves. Where any group of leaders, or combina.
ton Of men, deliberately plan to win their con.
tentions at all hazards, regardless of suffering Of
workmen or the public then is the time that the
government calls halt, and bids the contendine
parties to geturn to sane and sound reasoning
If the day should arrive when our government
can be controlled by men who have thrown to the
wind, peace, prosperity, contentment and the free
will to labor to the detriment of the masses of the
people, fascism or communism will have swallowed
democracy Individual rights will be wiped out ant
labor will become form of slavery-Morgantor

PROPERTY OR LABOR RIGHTS

Demagogic orators have talked much about the
sacred right of man to his job, as an argument
for denying that there are any real property rights
or that they are of any particular consequence in
comparison.
But here is question for serious consideration.
When authority sets out to deny property rights
are any other human rights likely to be long re-
spected?
Are there, indeed, any essential differences be-
tween property rights and labor rights?
And if property rights are denied is it not likely
that the right to labor will become merely priv.
ege to be granted by sort of autocracy rather
than right to be held because it is right

blowing up of the buffalo grass
with which the land had been

do that, We should find that most

WJASHINGTON.--It might be
w easier TO guess the outcome
Of the Senate fight over the
Presidents Supreme Court bill if
the issue did not so often rest
with politicians. {
Two major categorieS Of uncer-
tainty complicate any attempts at
prophecy.
First, outsiders are unable to
tell how many senator's in the pro,

taking their positions for the pur-
poses of trading with the admin
istration, and how many are
swayed by their intellectual con-
victionS.
Second, the extent to which the
administration is willing or able
10 use patronage and political
pressure, and the extent to which
the latter will be effective are
equally unpredictable factors.
