sary in this circumstance.
But what if this Texas bill, and SINH
lar bills in other Legislatures, are
passed? They will add nothing. They
do not remedy the real difficulty, or
even aim toward it. Sit-down strikes
are already illegal under the law as it
exists everywhere. Every court in the
country will on application declare
such q strike illegal and order the
strikers to cease occupancy of the
building. II the strikers fail to obey
the order of the court, the court will
direct the sheriff to arrest them and
remove them.

Of the court, the sheriff must have
help. He can get help in two ways.
He can apply to the Governor for use
of the armed forces Of the State, the
National Guard; or he can swear in
as large a number of deputies as he
thinks necessary
Both these methods have been tried.
In sit-dOwns in Illinois and California
the sheriff swore in deputies. In 1lli-
nois the deputies evicted the sit-down-
ers by force. In California the sit
downers quit when they realized that
the sheriff and the other law enforce
ment officials were in earnest.
Law Not Enforced.
The other method was tried in
the sit-down in the General Motors
plants at Flint. Mich. There the sher-
III asked the Governor OF the State for
help. The Governor did not reply to
the request but conducted conferences
between heads Of General Motors and
heads Of the striking union, which re-
suited in compromise. Only after this
compromise did the Flint sit-downers
leave the plants. The order Of the
court IN Flint was not obeyed. The
law was not enforced.
The Flint judge would have been
just as helpless If there had been on
the Michigan statute books a law
making the sit-down strike a felony.
The heart Of the situation was the lack
OF action by the Governor when the
sheriff asked him for help. Gov.

Boosting D. C. Revenues

Since the District of Column
bia has been forced to resort to
increased taxation in several
forms to meet the acute finan-
cial condition of the city's
treasury, would like to offer
suggestion for increasing the
revenue without additional taxa
ton on the people.
Since President Roosevelt and
his Administration have made
such progress in showing the
public just how cheap electricity
can be manufactured number
of cities and towns have estab-
liShed municipal plants. reduced
their electric rates and still re-
ceive a nice profit for the NUM-
cipality.
One of the faireSt programs,
under municipal ownership of
the power plant. that I have
ever heard Of is that Of a near
by Virginia city where the cleo
trio rates are much lower than
before the city established its
own plant, but are still high
enough to make good money for
the city. Instead of reducing
the electric rates this city ap-
piled these profits to the gen.
eral fund and thereby made
way for sharp reductions in the
real estate and personal prop
erty taxes.
In doing this, the city Off
Gals explained that the renter
was also forced to share the ex-
penSe of the towns police and
fire protection and other mu-
nicipal operating costs.
With but few exceptions.
