Labor Act No Cure-An
Industrial Troubles Rooted in Worker Resistance
and Competition.

Is the one conclusive way to make
that demonstration.
In the R. c. A. strike, for instance,
last Fall, the management stood from
the outset on the labor relations act
and offered Mr.. Lewis Immediately q
free and secret election under the
auspices of the Labor Board to de-
termine whether he had q majority.
This Mr.. Lewis declined. Wage and
hour issues were open to negotiation
from the outset. Nevertheless the
union pulled costly strike because
Mr.. Lewis was candid enough to ad-
mit-the only way he could get the
workers organized was to get them
into strike.
This simply means that the pic
ture Of workers rising spontaneously
and demanding, as mass, unioniza-
ton according to any one pattern is
pure popycock.
Unions have to be organized. Given
halfway normal conditions Of wages
and employment, the mass Of the
workers do no spontaneous rising at
all On the contrary, they often re-
sist union organizers.
They don't like to pay dues; they
don't have faith in the unions power
to get them a great deal; they often
resent restrictions put on them by the
unions; they don't like to risk being
called out, perhaps, on a sympathetic
strike to fight for some interests not
directly their own, and very often
they don't trust the self-appointed
union leader.
They join unions when union organ
izations and union sympathizers do
two things: make q demonstration Of
power which impresses them; and,
secondly, make it extremely uncom-
Portable for them to hold out against
unionization.
Old Tactics.
These, Of old, have been trade
union tactics, not only here but
everywhere else And it is quite i'm
possible to see how the labor rela-
tions act will prevent them being used
in the future. Unless, Of course, the
Government is prepared to sponsor
one kind OF trade unionism, insist
that all workers join that particular
type of workers organization, and
see to it that both employers and
employees comply.
AS long as there is resistance among
the workers, If only the resistance of
inertia; as long as there are COM
peting organizations, and competing
leaders, there will be labor troubles,
and the Government cannot stop 1t
without a kind of intervention that
no democratic government can use.
After all, the Government could not
settle the maritime strikes easily In
field where it has complete juris-
diction. It is misleading and DEM
agogic to suggest that if the labor
relations act is declared constitutional
labor disagreements will be finished
forever and overnight.

Of justice and peace"
The strikes, according to Senator
Wagner, are occurring because the
worker is deprived Of the right to Or
ganize and bargain collectively and
are used "only in protest against re-
peated violations Of industrial liber-
ties" The Senator spoke OF the or
ganized, calculated and cold-blooded
sit-down against the Federal law BY
a few great vested interests"
According to the Senator, you have
on one side millions Of workers anx-
ious to organize and ON the other
employers trying to prevent them ano
the law, which would safeguard the
workers rights, Haunted and in sus-
pension.
Vague in Meaning.
But that description utterly falls tc
fit the situation The words organ
ize and bargain collectively" may
mean many things. They may mean
an organization confined to single
plant. The labor relations act forbids
management from interfering in any
way with a labor organization, but II
does not definitely, outlaw the single
plant union which may have no out
side Affiliations.
Hundreds of such employees organi-
cations exist in this country. They
are thoroughly disapproved OF on Or
thodox trade union principles, but
wherever they exist there is, or may
be, a vested interest in their contin-
uation which is not confined to the
employers. They have officers ano
memberships. Sometimes the whole
union goes over to the c. I. O.-ohr
Lewis organization, but sometimes q
rival leader among the workers starts
a G. 1. o. union, and then there Il
conflict, not between employers anc
workers in the first line, but between
two sets Of union leaders, each with
an interest as boss and leader to pre-.
serve.
Or the words "organize and bar.
gain collectively" may mean an In
dependent, international trade unior
along craft lines. The A. F. OF L
has not been outlawed and in many
industries it will contest the c. I. O

Strike in Better Industries.
Nor can these strikes be laid dow

complaints.
This is a natural and astute thin
for Mr.. Lewis to do, because these ar
the industries where he has the pos
sibility OF making showing. But
again, what Is happening Is q contes

BIRDS ARE A GREAT ASSET

Although some varieties of birds
are considered great nuisance by
farmers and others, it is doubtful
that any of these feathered tribes
are more destructive than useful.
The great service that birds render
to mankind is in destroying the ever
present enemy, insects. We cannot
begin to comprehend the great dan
ger that this lowly form of life pre-
SCENTS. Scientists have declared that
without continued research and the
employment of improved means OF
combating insect pests, plus the great
help of the birds, they would over
run the world and destroy all other
life, including man.
The rapidity with which certain
insects multiply is beyond imagina-
ton. A partridge will eat, 10000
white grub worms in a year. Var
fous birds have their favorite insects
upon which they prey, but all eat
practically any insect which crosses
their path.
With this ever-present menace OF
insects to combat, we can hardly
have too many birds. Not only out
of humane sentiment, but as an act
ual protection to- civilization, the
birds should be spared.

EARLY DIAGNOSIS CAMPAIGN

According to William B. Matthews,
Managing Director of the Maryland
tuberculosis Association, the annual
Early Diagnosis Campaign of the Ma
tional Tuberculosis Association and
it's afiliated groups was concluded
with the ending of April. He stated,
however, that although this is so, the
local state association will continue
the teaching of early diagnosis eff
forts and tuberculosis prevention
throughout the year.
1T is impossible" Mr.. Matthews
said, ito reach every person with our
message in such a short time. Con-
seqeuntly it will be necessary for US
to concentrate on health education
program as a year-round project.
What we want to do is impress
everyone with the fact that to ac-
complish the final overthrow OF tu-
berculosis they must cooperate with
the doctors. If people will not go to
their doctors and confide their
troubles to them the latter are great
ly handicapped in their attempts to
discover the disease early. Hints of
trouble are sometimes signalled
from the body by such signs as: a
cough, indigestion, fatigue, and loss
of weight. People having these
signs should be examined. More
over, all persons who have ever been
in contact with the disease should be
examined.
with such modern weapons as
the tuberculin test and X-ray to dis
cover tuberculosis early, it would
not be difficult task to make great
inroads on the disease II the people
