GOVERNMENT IN STRIKES
(Anaheim BulIe!inl


Decision of the relief agencies to support
men on strike will but prolong the industrial
difficulties and impose needless hardships upon
the public
In theory strike becomes endurance con-
test between employers and employees Wniie
efforts are made TO find a common meeting
ground It frequently has happened IN otner
strikes that employers have been forced to give
in because they could not permit their proper
ties longer TO lie idle. 1t also has happened
that labor has decided its demands were not
timely and has returned voluntarily to work
because its funds were exhausted.
In such instances it is matter between Two
interests.
But when the government comes in and sup
norfs one side against the other there IS no
onportunity for settlement on this basis. MOI

PAYING HONOR WHERE
HONOR is DUE

Clubwomen of Imperial Valley Joined
this week in paying personnel tributes
at Calexico to Mrs Lolita James, state
president of the California Federation
of Women's Clubs. 1t was a tribute IN
which all of Imperial Valley, both men
and women, might well have joined.
Mrs. James, closing a successful term
in office. has brought credit to her sex
and to the clubs she represents. She
has demonstrated that woman can be
as fearless, as farsighted and as wise
as any man-and perhaps more so.
Outstanding among the accomplish
ments of the women's club federation
under Mrs. James leadership was pro-
secution of individuals for abuses in the
state institution for the blind at Oak
land. Politics wrapped its red tape
about the cases. Influence was brought
to bear. There were moves and counter
moves, charges and rebuttals. 1t was
a trying experience, a difficult thing to
consummate. The women who carried
the case through to a successful conclu-
sion deserve the thanks of the state.
We join humbly with the clubwomen
of Imperial Valley in expressing graft
tude and admiration for their state
president.

DON'T FORGET
THE REST OF US

America is more strike conscious"
than ever before in history. Many peo-
pie have gained the impression that all
the workers in the country must be
among those who have recently struck,
are on strike, or are about to strike.
Such, of course, is not the case.
AS one business executive pointed out,
the vast bulk of American workers are
and for years have been on the job
steadily, with better wages and higher
standards of living than those anywhere
else in the world. In this executives
own firm, with the exception of two
short disputes more than 20 years ago,
there has been complete peace for Sc
years among a personnel that has at
times exceeded 10000.
Our labor problem is big one,
but ii must be remembered along with
our alarm that no time mas the strife
involved more than an infnitesimal frac-
tion of the whole.
Imperial Valley press., 1937-02-14
Bruce Cation Says:>~
Not Back to 1929 = Ahead to 1910

The greatest hope for labor. for
industry, and for the American
people generally lies in vision of
a standard of living and an indus
trial level far above that achieved
in 1929.
For a time, in the depths of the
depression, it became the fashion
10 look back to 1929. Our job" we
said, "is to get production and
wages back TO the 1929 level"
Increasingly, we begin to see now
that it is no such thing. We have
seen production and wages rise in
many industries, such as the auto
business, to around that level. And
i, is not enough. We know now
that the unemployment problem.
and our other besetting problems,
will not be solved by any such
thinking.
One by one, leaders have been
expressing this point of view, this
vision OF a level of production and
living far beyond the limping pros
perity of 1929, which meant mil
lions unemployed even then, and
scale of prices which largely null
lifted the high wages that then
prevailed.
Latest of these prophets of plenty
is DR.. w. E. Wickendeh, president
of Case School of Applied Science in
Cleveland, o. In a recent speech to
industrial apd civic leaders there,
DR.. Wickenden observed that in
dustry needs "a first-class prophet
who can dramatize and idealize the
great task of serving more people,
giving them more and better goods
at less cost, and creating more, bet
ter, and higher-paid Jobs
The unemployed, DR.. Wickenden
emphasizes, can never get jobs in
merely satisfying our old needs.
Their jobs lie ahead in satisfying
wants we have yet scarcely dis
covered in industries not yet Gre
ated, using processes not yet in
vented, and employing facts of ma
ture we have not yet even dis
covered"
Spreading our present income
more equitably. through the high
er wages the present strikes are
aimed at getting, is not enough.
High wages benefit a few DR..
Wickenden notes, land their effect
is temporary. But lower costs bene-
fit everybody, and their effect is
lasting The exhaustive Brook
ings reports on the economic situa-
ton have already suggested such

Mr. Robert H. Jackson A Pain to
the Legal Brethren Among the
Roosevelt Inner Circle

WASHINGTON The administrations five
billion dollar public works program in its func-
tion something to be used quickly against
any future depression emergency, comes as
relief to many economists here who are none
too sure that the next depression is a long way
off.
Predominant administration policy is now
based on the gamble that the upward swing
in business activity will continue for the next
two or three years. The budget-balancing, Fed
eral Reserve taxation and relief phases OF the
policy all tie in with that gamble.
Economists here differ in their speculations
and predictions, but their charts and tables
show that if the present upturn continues more
than three four months longer it will break
the previous longevity records.
The two big previous upturns that of
1876 which lasted 46 months, and that OF
l9l5-lS which continued A months. War figur-
ed in each instance The present steady rise
in business actyitv is now in its 4Sth month
RecordS-which of course do not govern
the future-show that a business expansion
period usually runs about one-seventh longer
than the preceding contraction period. which
in the 1929-33 period lasted for As months.
Roughly speaking, administration poicymak-
ers tend to divide into two groups at this time.
One is a fiscal group which bets on steadily
increasing production bigger profits and rising
federal revenue.
The other group, including many of the more
liberal New Deal economists, believes that
mass purchasing power has been and still Is
the key to recovery, and fears that the rising
price level spurred by the profit urge and made
possible by accelerated business activity, is
now endangering purchasing power and hence
the upswing OF business recovery.
Biz profits are necessary 10 carry the budget,
the fiscal group figures. 1t also believes that
with expansion of the capital goods industry,
a forecast of so per cent more building this
wear and other favorable factors, federal ex-
practically stop
Various government policies conditioned
by the fiscal groups theories One postulate
nothing TO interfere with the continuing up
turn-"Don't rock the boat!
The other group is primarily anxious for
action which will keep the cost Of living curve
on the economists charts below the curve
denoting average earnings of workers
There has been a big price advance since
last October; since the last general election
the latter When plants get to operating near
capacity the usual tendency is to give prices
the gun for bigger profits.
The fiscal group doesn't seem to mind, hold
ing that the profits will be well skinned for
taxes But the other group says that If prices
get ahead of purchasing power the goose Wnlcn
has been laying the golden egg viii be killed
Consequently, il urges brakes on prices and
a curb on monopolies which control prices,
while favoring any measures which will tend to
increase wages and purchasing power, to the
end that all factors making for recovery may
be kept in even balance.
