Just about year ago, the Committee for Industrial Organization was ordained as an independent factor in American labor history by it's suspension from the American Federation of Labor over the issue of industrial unioniSm which the c. I. O. favors-versus craft unionism. Within that year, the c. l. O. has grown from eight national and international unions to include 28 such organizations. The membership has risen from about million to slightly more than three mil lion, and is still growing. Apparently, then, it may be classed as going con- cern, and as such, it might well follow the custom of taking the 12-month in. ventory to see just where 1t stands ana just what its program for the second year should be in the light of the public temper.
 The record shows that the c. l. o. has won over or interested workers not only in the mass production and basic indus tries, but also in federal, city, state ana county officers; "White-collar" workers in retail stores and offices, and employees in lumber, transportation, packing, can nery and maritime industries. But many of these enlistments were made only aE the cost of much misunderstanding and bitterness, involving fighting, shooting, and sometimes bloodshed, Production was shut down for weeks in many ln- stances, while workers went without pay and the general public suffered in con venience and irritation from the Weed- crop of errors and abuses which grew up incidental to the main issues.
 Then there was the flood of unauthor- ized sitdowns, sitins, and walkouts, which the c. I. O. disavowed but which, nevertheless, it was powerless to stop. In New York City, and possibly in other places, sundry picket lines still hold forth in front of shops where the original issues have long been forgotten. In some cases, the pickets themselves do not know why they are there, and instances are reported in which even union officials have to thumb through files to find out why the line is being maintained. Although membership dues have been fixed, the c. I. o. still has temporary officers and there are no written bylaws and no constitution.
 The rank and file of the citizenry IS highly tolerant, and many abuses en- acted in the heat of the initial tilt, both by employers and employees, will be for given and forgotten. But the public also has marvellous facility for cutting through issues and trimming them down to size.
 And 1t is safe to say that whatever birthday resolutions the C. I. O. decides to make will be most wisely made within that prescribed circle which the public is drawing. If the movement Is to serve any worthwhile purposes for any great length of time, its second year will have to prove that 1t is growing up as well as out.

Some months ago we commented on situation in Worcester, Mass, which police now allege is occurring right here in Waterbury. We called attention to the fact that the Worcester police were crack ing down on persons who used police calls, particularly on accidents, to their own advantage. There were many instances where police would arrive at the scene of bad auto crash to find wrecking car there before them And often police cars had to race other cars to the scene of the, accident. A halt was called and police started to issue warnings for inter- ference. The same thing is now occur ring right here in Waterbury and prob- ably will continue for short time until the novelty of tuning in on the police call channel wears off But If the police want to break the habit, bad one, their next move is to bear down on individ- uals or concerns that they know are de- liberately using the calls to their own advantage.

Once again the State Park and Forest Commission finds itself confronted with the need of additional revenue. It is con- Sidering as means to the end charges for parking in state parks or forests. The charge would be levied where cars use the regularly provided parking spaces near picnic areas or bathing beaches. For sev- eral years now the state has been fooling around with this idea and at various times the Legislature has considered It. We don't recall that permission was ever given to charge for parking or whether 1t would be legally necessary but 1t does seem that one of the really nice features of Connecticut's state parks has been their freedom from charges.

A Book a Day
Behind the Scenes at a Murder Trial

Once in a great while comes the book that carries you behind the scenes in that most poignant of hu- man experiences-a murder trial Such e book was We Who Are About to Die" David Lamson's story of his conviction and of his la months in the Condemned 2ow ot San Quentin after he was sentenced to hang for the murder of his wife.
 Lamson's conviction was reversed and after two more trials he gained his freedom. Now he comes forth with @ new book in the same vein as his first, "Whirlpoop tScribner's sons $25o). @ 7
 "Whirlpoop is the story of Hanni- bal Norfolk, who struck down his brother in e fit of Jealous anger when he discovered him with his wife alone at the rear of their lit- tie farm. Subsequently the brother disappeared and three years later a skeleton was found on the same farm. So Hannibal Norfolk was tried for murder. l Certalnly there mas peen To moEe frank indictment of small-town poll tics and small-town trial by jury than this book. As in We Who Are About to Die" Lanson portrayS the sensa tions of an innocent man in the death house, the psychology Of the victim and the devious workings of the net of circumstantial evi- dence.
 One feels, on the whole, that Lamson has repeated . great deal here and the effect Is nullified somewhat by the earlier book, Q greater story simply because 1t was essentially fact. But "Whirlpoop is no less vivid and 1t is decidedly readable. -P. c. ?.

sought. Back in 1883 six horses pulled Q mountain wagon up the eight miles in hour and i7 min- utes. And just last year a New Hampshire lad led & field of 12 others on foot up the road to clip that horse-record down to hour, IS minutes and 67 seconds.
 In fact, that foot-race up proved so popular that Mount Washing ton Run Association has been or- ganized and permanent silver trophy presented to bear each year the name of the winner. Saturday the fourteenth of this month will bring the first annual Run and that day the bald, snowy summit prob- ably will play host to the largest gathering in It's history.

LOCAL RELIEF COMMISSION
WANTS CASTOFF CLOTHING

w. E. Towne, district super
visor of commodities for the Mon
tana Relief commission, is in re-
ceipt of a letter from Dwight L.
Lohn, director of commodity dis
tribution at Helena, suggesting
that the commission will appre-
ciate it if the people of Hardin
and vicinity will contribute cast
off clothing they no longer have
use for. There are many needy
families in this community who
would be glad to get clothing of
any description for the use of
children of all ages, as well as for
grown ups. Anyone having arti-
cles of clothing they are. willing
to give please notify Mr.. Towne
and he will arrange to have some
one call with an automobile and
get them and they will be dis
tributed to the needy.
The demand for old clothing
and footwear for distribution by
the local office of the Montana
relief commission is very urgent.
Doubtless there are several fam
lilies in Hardin who have articles
Of clothing and footwear that
they will no longer use. There
are, likewise, many families in
this community who would be
grateful for these cast-off gar
ments. Winter will soon be here
and those who have clothing to
spare will be doing a charitable
act by placing the clothing, shoes,
etc., in the hands Of the local
committee. If those having old
clothing will phone 60, someone
will call and collect the garments.
Distributor of Local sCommodi-
ties w. E. Towne. whose office is
in the postoffice building, is in
receipt of COMMUNICATION from
Dwight Lohn, director of COM
modify distribution at Helena,
authorizing him to distribute
free of charge surplus commodities
for use in making up hot lunches
for school children in accordance
with the programs in vogue in the
various schools of Big Horn coun-
ty, upon application to him by
the school authorities.
