Where Minority Power
Should End

1t is unfortunate both for labor and
employers that the Imperial Valley car
penter's union should have staged the
three-man strike that made news this
week at the Brawley Ice companys
plant. Nobody has gained any appre-
ciable ground as a result of the strike,
and both sides have lost confidence.
There should be no animosity in I'M
perial Valley against labor unions. They
are a natural result of the desire Of
laboring men to obtain for themselves
the best possible conditions. They are
Just as desirable as mems clubs or manu-
facturers' associations or any other or
ganization. In many eases, they offer
the only means by which the working
man can obtain fair consideration for his
needs.
Anyone who has ever worked for
living can understand the demand of
the men in Brawley that they be paid
according to the current scale for car
penter work. Even if we thought their
demand unfair, we could not criticize
their attempt to enforce it. That is
their right.
1t is a different thing when three
men walk out of job on strike, obtain
the promise that they will receive the
higher wages they demand, and continue
to strike because the employer will not
agree to closed shop in which only
union laborers will be employed. When
that happens, it represents the attempt
of very small minority to force upon
the majority a state of being to which
the majority gives no sign of acquies-
ing.
Neither minority nor majority,
we believe has the right to throw other
men out of job merely because those
other men are not members of labor
union That is what the closed shop
should do.
The idealistic theory behind labor un-
ionism is that it will improve the status
of all laboring men. Nobody can quar-
rel with that theory. On the other hand,
the unions are hurting themselves as
well as others when they attempt to
take away another mans living because
he is not a member of the union.
We have never had any quarrel with
the rank and file of unions operating in
Imperial Valley. They have been intel
ligently managed and solicitous of the
communitys welfare. 1t is to be hoped
they do not allow themselves to be led
away from their high detectives
