NLRB AGAIN IGNORES
INTENT OF CONGRESS


IN a decision that strikes squarelv into
the middle Of imperial Valleys econo-
mic life. the National Labor Relations
Board Thursday ruled that lettuce pack
ing shed employees in Phoenix are not
agricultural laborers." By inference
the board held that they are industrial
laborers. and so come under all terms
Of the Wagner Labor Relations Act.
The ruling applies TO Imperial Valley
Just as well as it applies in Phoenix
IT means that any radical labor union
wishing to organize laborers i'm a pack
ing shed can call strike. picket the
place, demand ''union recognition.n and
hide behind the skirts of the labor rela-
tions board when the going gets tough.
Taking into consideration the past
history of the labor board itself, it
probably means too that the CIO will
be declared bargaining agent in many
packing sheds where not one out of five
laborers is a CIO member.
1t means. possibly, that a new wave of
strikes will sweep California and Ari-
zona packing sheds, with immeaSurable
damage and loss to the farmer who de-
pends upon the shed 10 gel his produce
to market
The sooner farmers and shippers can
get this ruling into court for final
test. the better it VII be. We fail to
see how any court can do otherwise than
reverse the labor board ruling
The courts have a habit of taking into
consideration something the labor board
has forgotten time and again in its rul-
ings. That is the intention of congress
in framing the law
When congress, framed the Wagner
Labor Relations act It specifically eX-
smpted agricultural labor because con-
gresSmeu loresaW the danger of walk
outs and tieups if labor unions, in an
attempt to force collective bargaining,
called strikes during the peak Of a har-
vest. IN such agricultural efforts as let
tuce growing and shipping such tieup
could destroy the entire crop. So con-
gress exempted agricultural labor
The intent of the law is as plain as
it could possibly be. 1t is to avoid the
danger of complete loss Of crops through
strike-created delays.
The labor board, reaching out for ever
greater power over employees and en-
ployers alike. has gone absolutely con-
trary TO the evident intent of the law.
The variest tyro knows that strike
in a lettuce packing shed can destroy
the crop Just as surely as a strike in the
harvest field itself can.
But, then, the labor board seems not
to consider the farmers loss. in spite of
the fact that farmers have the lowest
per capita earnings of any American
group. The labor board is interested on
" in It's dearly beloved 'underprivileg-
ed" CIO. and in recruiting new members
therefore.
Slowly but surely the labor board is
forcing more and more farmers into
the ranks OF the underprivileged, but we
suspect that il will be a long, long time
before it makes CIO men Of these same
farmers

ABOLISH INITIATIVE
IN CALIFORNIA

tPorterville Recorder)
Judge Robert A. Kenny, who is State
Senator-EIect from Los Angeles county.
announces conclusion at which. il is
safe 10 say thousands of Calfornians
have been arriving in the last few years.
1t is that the initiative, adopted in this
state at the beginning of Hiram W.
Johnson'S reform administration of
more than a quarter of a century ago
has been discredited by experience with
it,
The greater part of the progressive
measures written into law under Gov
ernor JohnSon'S leadership have been
beneficial in practice and unQuestion-
ably have the approval of majority
of the people of this state. Attempts to
repeal the recall and referendum prob
ably would be defeated at the polls,
although the value of these two instru-
ments of popular government sometimes
seems quite questionable.
The difference is that. while the re-
call and the referendum appear TO have
balance in their favor in weighing ad-
yantages against disadvantages the
liabilities are greater than the assets
in the ledger in which accounts of the
initiative are kept
am going 10 introduce Dill To 90
away with the initiative said State
Senator-Elect Kenny. 1T has been Il
failure and nuisance to voters. In
theory it is right, but in practice it has
been abused. The voters are getting tired
of it.
The initiative has been seized upon by
special groups and interests as their
weapon. With high-pressure methods Of
campaigning it is no trouble to obtain
the necessary number of signatures to
a petition to force proposition on the
ballot. That is. it is easily accomplish
ed with enough money to pay for the
propaganda and hire solicitors.
Voters have been showing an increas-
ing tendency to reject initiative PROPOSE
tons, which are put on the ballot with
out the legislatures approval or con-
sideration. The average voter lacks the
time required for careful study Of pro-
posed legislation, and his only safeguard
is to vote no when he does not under
stand a measure.
With the referendum, the people have
check on all measures passed by the
Legislature; they can veto whatever the
Legislature enacts that does not meet
with popular approval. If the Legisla
ture fails to adopt measures for which
there IS sustained popular demand the
people can elect new legislators.

VERTICAL UNiONISM
LEADS TO THIS

Any attempt completely 10 organize
agricultural labor in this country is
bound to result in the same thing that
is coming to pass in industry itself, as
exemplified in the newly organized San
Francisco Employers Council, designed
to protect the rights Of employers and
employer organizations in collective bar

The employers council is to the indivi-
dual business man what the national
union organization is to the local unit.

Famous Sayings

1t is useless for America to try
to let the people of Germany and
Italy know how the actions of their
side of the Atlantic, because those
people aren't allowed to get any
news that the men or top don't
want Them to get.
Nor would it make very much
difference if that news did get to
them because they don't have any
thing 20 say about governmental
policies anyway So all the Amer
lean government can do is make
its protests to the head men in
Berlin and Rome and hope that
some day a change will be made.
And in this job a good deal of
efficient help is being provided by
Hollywood-of all places.
Hollywood does it deftly, quietly
and where it hurts.
A little more than a year ago
Vittorio Mussolini, son of II Duce
went to Hollywood with some grand
pl6AAos III wac oOAAiS w q
thorough study of American film
methods, so as to improve italian
film production on his return. He
was going to negotiate with an AM
erican film magnate to produce
films Of italian grand opera. He
was going to do divers big things
and make a profound impression
on the whole movie colony.
But the whole business quickly
turned out to be a flop. The movie
colony resented the presence of II
Duce's son and was pretty blunt
in letting him know about it. After
q series of snubS, climaXed by the
appearance in a trade paper of a
'full-page ad attacking him, Wit
torio shook the dust of California
from his shoes and departed for
the homeland, unWept.

No one is more for that than I

What I called attention to was

But there is another reason for

because I thought this announced
plan characteristic of what con-
sider a weakness of the A F. of
l.. That weakness is found in the
fact that the A. F. OF L., according
to my views, is not interested in
every American family, but only
in the small group of families
which belong to the A. F. of L.
The only way to get $4,000 Tor
American workers now is at the
expense of other American workers.
Al present three out of every
four American workers earn less
than S2500 and over a third of
the workers earn less than $1,000.

problem of raising the wages Of
these forgotten groups who earn
less than $1,000 a year-and this
means, remember, in many cases as
low as $500 a year. The only way
this can be done is by oranizing
all the workers.
Laws like Workmen's compensa-
ton, old age pensions, unemplOy-
ment insurance and minimum wage
laws are made for the protection of
the great unorganized groups more
than any others. But if we have
not had laws like these for years,
I believe it was partly because the
A. F.. OF l.. was not interested in
the low wage workers.
