THE REAL ISSUE
In LABOR DISPUTES

we cannot escape the idea that legal
technicalities steer clear Of the real issue
IN the Lewis Chambers Construction
company labor dispute-called by the
union strike-Which an examiner for
The National Labor Relations Board at
tempted this week TO unravel in hear
ings here
While attorneys wrangle about iuriS-
dletlon and interstate commerce and
source of materials purchased by the
company, the question of how many men
on the Lewis-Chambers job We're disatis-
fled goes unanswered The labor union
declares practically all the men were
treated unfairly. The company. backed
up by peace officers and other official
and unofficial observers. delares that
not one-tenth of the men on the Job re-
sponded when the strike call was issued
last January. The fact that the Job was
uninterrupted seems to bear out the lat
ter statement.
If only tiny minority of the laborers
became angry because the company
would not respond to demands to force
the majority to join labor union, it
seems to Us the labor relations board
is wasting its time and encouraging
bad situation by prolonging discussion
of the situation. If, ON the other hand,
a majority of men were dissatisfied with
the treatment given them and if that
treatment was found TO be unfair, then
the board should strike 10 the center of
the tangle imediately by SO determining.
Neither the labor relations board, nor
any other agency, has any reasonable
right to help minority enforce its de-
sires on the majority.
The first thing TO be determined in
our opinion is whether the Lewis-Cham-
bers trouble was merely an abortiVe
attempt to force union organization, or
an actual protest against unsatisfactory
conditions. ANY action by the labor re-
lations board, or lack of action, should
be based on the answer to that question.

HEDGEHOGS VERSUS
DOGS IN PET PARADE

There would be no more unwelcome
nocturnal barking and very few cock
reaches if pet owners would hearken TO
the admonition of DR. Erich NJ Schlaik-
ier, palaeontologist and student of evolu-
ton, who comes out from behind his
impressive title to champion the cause
of the walking cactus.
Hedgehogs. says the doctor in the cur
rent issue of Natural History magazine,
would eat up cockroaches, the streets
would be cleaner; and, most gratifying
of all = TO the nerves at least = there
would be no barking and bowling when
the owners went out for the evening,
because Mr.. Hedgehog never utters more
of sound than a cross between low
grunt and a squeak.
q suppose" adds the doctor, the
chief objection would be that they could
hardly take the place of lap dogs.
The little animals, it may be added,
do make good pets-f you don't mad
vertantly sit down on one. II you do,
you'll find that he is in quite distinct
manner related to the porcuplne.
Regardless Of the side any person
takes in the bedgehog-dog controversy
if there is 10 be such a controversy
the fact remains that the person VINO
does not have a pet of some kind, be II
dog. cat, racoon, porcuplne or any pI
the other numerous animals the human
family has made friends Of, IS missing
a bio part Of the satisfaction Of lie.
And you will find, generally speaking
that the person who is most popular with
his fellow human beings is the one VITO

COMPETITION IS
LIFE OF ENTERTAINMENT
santa Fe New Mexicanl

Americans are easily entertained As an
audience they will stand for almost anything
but what attracts them to so many events is
that there's element of competition involved
and a chance to gamble.
Horse racing has long been the sport of kings
Some racing fans follow the ponies the year
around and never lay bet. A great many
others get little no thrill out of tight battle
in the home stretch unless they have bet
down.
From chicken fights to terrapin races. COM
petitive events OF skill in athletics have always
drawn crowds. Last week at Sarasota ten thou
sand spectators turned out to watch what pro-
moters called the Second Annual Frogolympics.
An amphibian by the name of Gas House Gus
shattered the worlds record for the frog Jump
by leaping nineteen feet.
Frogs are interesting animals but interested
citizens don't line the bull rushes every night
Just to watch them jump. What doubtless brought
the crowd was that many of them had couple
of dollars on the quivering limbs OF Gas House
Gus and members of his encourage.
Competition is the life of trade but it is the
spice of American entertainment too, proyid-
ing there's betting ring, and there usually is.
As people we have a gambling instinct. Why 1t

Famous Sayings

Every country and every age
needs a man like Gabrielle dan
nunzio as a release from the hum
drum and the prosaic, the routine
and the inevitable dull monotony
of everyday living. D'Annunzio was
the flash of lightning across the
heavens and the spray of salt wa
ter dashing on the rocks. To Italy
he was romance and adventure,
love and poetry and drama.
DAnnunzio published. his first
book of poems when he was 16. He
knew French, English and Ger
man and his Greek and Latin were
the envy of literary friends. Elect
ed to the Chamber of Deputies, he
resigned in disgust because there
were too many words without ac-
ton
His love affairs, particular his
famous romance with Eleonora
Duse were the Vicarious joy of
every honest Italian. D'Annunzio

WASHINGTON. - Although hl =
Harry Bridges is hero only To the
pro-labor groups. it will be cause
for general grief in Washington Il
he does not eventually get the
chance to appear before Senator

Commerce committee of which the
latter is chairman.
An encounter. between the sen
ator and the West Coast c. |. Q.
leader. whom Copeland wants de-
ported as an alien agitator, would
be this capitals idea of spec
tacular sho. Bridges, militant, ag-
gressive and highly articulate, has
been demanding chance to appear
to answer witnesses who have
charged at hearings on maritime
labor affairs that he is a Com
munist and a bad man.
Copeland. who encouraged the
anti Bridges witnesses and made 1t
evident he believed them, has been
reluctant but now indicates Bridges
can appear if the Department OF
Labor doesn't hold against him in
its investigation of charges that
he is deportable.
But the CLIO. has been digging
up the dirt" ON Senator Copeland,
lust as Copeland has been digging
up dirt" on CLIO. maritime labor
leaders. And Bridges, who is no
shrinking violet and doesn't care
who knows what he has in mind,
is loaded with ammunition for the
fray.
But meanwhile Bridges must
answer deportation charges. He
and the CIO lawyers profess COM
plete confidence that they can beat
those charges. If and when they
do, Washingtonians will start re-
serving ringside seats for the
Bridges-Copeland bout.
Faith in Mr.. Roosevelt's recent

ing that might be disturbing to
business" is bound TO be slightly
shaken by appointment of Thurman
w. Arnold of Yale to succeed Solici-
ter General Robert H. Jackson as
assistant attorney general in charge
of antitrust cases.
Appointment of JeckSon'S sue
cessor was generally considered
definite test of the seriousness of
Roosevelts past attacks on mo-
nopoly and his future intentions.
Members OF the administrations
liberal wing are delighted. For
Arnold. who has done various
special legal Jobs under The New
Deal, is one of them and tney con-
slider his recent book, The Folklore
of Capitalism one Of the finest
things ever written. Arnold has
been an outspoken critic of "un-
controlled business relationships of
inadequate antitrust laws and Of
courts which have emasculated those
laws. A conservative fight against
his confirmation by the Senate
seems certain.
