The ships were said to be between
10000 and 10000 tons each. to be
armed with eight or nine 12-inch
guns and to have estimated speeds
Of 40 knots
If such ships are being con-

said. they would represent per-
haps the most powerful offensive
sea weapon in existence. OF course
they could not successfully engage
a battleship in close fighting. but
they would be tremendously more
powerful than any American Or
British cruisers and their terrific
speed would make them the Scourge
of world shipping lanes
This countrys heaviest cruisers
are 10000 tonners and are armed
with eight-inch guns0
1t was said in official circles
that if the japanese reports prove
true. the United States may be
forced to increase the size of her
cruisers. The navy department al

to increase the size of proposed

Stricken Bloom
No Stickler for
Floral Customs

If the plant kingdom has an
Emily Post. she must be Mortified
at the erratic conduct of a poin-
settia in the garden at the E. S.
Strickler home in FL Centro.
This poinsettia, supposed to
bloom during the Christmas sea
son and then rest, is in full bloom
and has been for a week. Last
year the same plant made a spec
tacle OF itself by blooming con-
tinuously from Christmas to MAY
The Strickler family received the
plant as a gift two years ago and
transplanted it from a fancy jar to
the yard. 1t consistently refused to
follow rules of conduct and clings
to bursts of unconventional bloom
FL Centro garden enthusiasts are
frequent visitors but thus far have
no explanation. Mrs. Strickler said.

MOST REMARKABLE
Trek ON RECORD

In the Fall, 1884, an army of 10000
Communist troops left South China
of which $4,000 arrived in the pro-
vince of Szechuan July goth, 1885,
after completing a 5,000-mile march
under difficulties which makes it the
most remarkable trek on record.
They were surrounded and pursued
by a Nationalist Army exceeding
900, 600 under the command of Kai
Shek, after having defeated two
previous numerically superior *
petitions sent against them; their
line of march was intercepted by
fortified block-houses, rivers with
bridges destroyed, fords where fer
ries and boats had been destroyed or
removed, and mountain ranges GOV
cred with snow.
On their March of Emigration"
they averaged a skirmish per day
with a total of fifteen days major
battles; doing a record forced march
of 95 miles in two days, capturing a
crossing on the Tatu River. This
was accomplished by swinging hand
overland on suspended chains
hanging from a partly destroyed
bridge while under enemy fire, do
ing this when their pursuers thought
they had them trapped a hundred
miles down the river with nc chance
of escape. Having NO airplanes of
their own, they were considerably
harassed by American made bombers
which had much to do with their
final decision to emigrate.
Paradoxical as it might seem, they
actually made friends and converts
throughout the provinces they ira
versed. While dividing up large
landed estates amongst the peasants,
they made it a strict rule to pay for
anything taken for army use, be-
sides dividing up amongst the peas
ants surplus plumber captured from
pursuing columns. In spite of the
fact that they were officially de-
clared destroyed on several occa-
sions, they acquired so much plumber
from pursuing government columns
that it became an impeachment and
a considerable portion was buried
enroute. This hardened army was
instrumental in capturing the War
Lord of (Kai Shek) China and is
now known as the 9th Routh Army.
Through its intense propaganda
campaign in its "Epoch-making
March" is due much of the Chinese
fervor in opposing the Japanese in
vasion and constitutes Japan's most
vexing problem.

Fulfilled lis Purpose.
NLRB Says on Third
Birthday

WASHINGTON (FP) - Casting
its glance backward on its third
birthday, the National Labor Rela-
tons Board brought out the facts
and figures to show that it has &C.
complished the three specific aims
set for it by President Roosevelt
when he signed the measure July 5,
1895.
by assuring the employees the
right of collective bargaining it fos-
tiers the development of the employ
ment contract on a sound and equit-
able basis" the President said three
years ago when he signed the act.
Cited by the labor board are 1896
union contracts signed between EN-
ployers and unions representing
more than 100000 workers in the
past year. These contracts were
signed without strikes and were in
addition to the 100000 workers in
the railroad industry and 100000 in
the coal industry covered by con-
tracts.
The Presidents second aim, as
stated three years ago, was, "By pro-
viding an orderly procedure for de-
termining who is entitled to repre-
sent the employees it aims to remove
one of the chief causes of wasteful
economic strife"
The labor board noted that Sin
1890 secret ballot elections, conduct
ed by the board to determine en-
ployee representation, there have
been 450,842 valid votes cast. In
many disputes workers chose to use
the boards election machinery in
stead of ~resorting to strike" The
NLRB notes that So per cent of all
those eligible cast ballots.
The third aim was, "By preventing
practices which tend to destroy the
independence of labor, it seeks, for
every worker within its scope, that
freedom of choice and action which
is justly his"
The boards analysis shows that
nearly half of the cases coming be-
fore it concerned violations of the
section of the act prohibiting dis
elimination against workers because
of union utilization and activities
The records show that 1882 workers
were reinstated after discriminatory
discharge.
"In most cases." the board COM
ments, chose reinstated had been
discharged for outstanding leader
ship in unfolding the right of their
fellow workers to organize. Thus
the reinstatement of one leader may
give assurance to many other work
ers in a plant that they will not suf-
fer by exercising their legal rights
In the Jones & Laughlin Steel
Corp. case, for example, only 10
workers were ~reinstated under board
orders whereas the Lewiston Indirect
ly affected the company's 27,00C
workers."
Considerable interest was attached
to the boards summary of its work
in view of the drive now being di-
rected against the labor board and
the labor act. It is an open secret
that the next Congress will witness
a fierce attack on the law and the
board.
