NOT so STRANGE

People in the United States who won
der why European nations cannot get to-
gether and settle their hatreds in the in.
terest of peace might take time off to read
some of the debates that occur between the
various sections of the United States
The wages and hours bill, the anti
lynching bill, the farm control measure,
the housing program and various labor
bills cause heated discussion in this coun-
try where the people are, for the most
part, of the same general type
What the controverted measures
would cause in a continent that boasts
many nations, with intensified suspicious
and violent hatreds from the past, is pro-
blematical. If the people of the United
States cannot even agree upon the mean
ing of their written constitution what is so
strange in the failure of European people
TO get together?

fieials who disregard these instruc-
tons.
The chief reason, it is believed, that
strikers resort to force and terrorism
to achieve their purposes is their con-
viction that public officials win not
do their duty in upholding the law
and protecting the constitutional
rights of employers. They believe that
the law enforcement officials are
either too weak or too cowardly to
do their duty, or that they have been
bought by political influence and
hence can be counted on to betray the
sacred trust they have taken an oath
to keep. 1t is so common for law en-
forcement officials to make only
formal attempt to uphold the law In
strikes that the few officials who con.
slider their oaths sacred and do their
duty, are branded as the tools OF capi-
tai
There is absolutely no place for
sympathetic bias in favor of either the
employees or the employer in the en-.
forcement of the law. Law enforce
ment officials are under oath not to
take sides" in anJ labor dispute.
They are as much obligated to pro-
tect the constitutional rights Of the
employer as they are to protect the
constitutional rights Of the employees.
An executive, high or low, who takes
sides" and shows partially in labor
controversies disqualif1eS himself as
an executive under the constitution,
and degtades the Office he improperly
holds.
The cure for violence and iawless-
ness in labor disputes is to be found
in eliminating unworthy law enforce
ment officials from places trust and
in restoring the sanctity Of the oath
in the hearts of all public officials.
1t is deplorable that it has become
necessary to form a nation wide or.
ganization to protect the constitu-
tional rights of the citizen, to work
under conditions of FIR, adom and
safety.

American citizenship provides. There are
some aliens in Key West and they should

Dr. Scott, who was minister at the local church from 1894 to 1898, said that at first when he received the invitation to attend, he was reluctant to attempt the long trip. He Is 75 years of age. His wife per- suaded him to do so, however.
 He said he traveled TOO miles be- fore leaving the state of Texas. He praised the beauty of the Naugatuck valley and said that many wonder full things have happened in the 43 years since he was pastor here. God has certainly blessed the Salem Lutheran church congregation, he said.
 He said Victor Rohs, whom he knew in his pastorate here, met him at the station, and he later met two who were boys when he was here, and are now quite grown up, Victor and Gunnard Peterson. He pointed out that although there have been many changes, there is one who changes not, Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
