NO FUTURE SAFEGUARD
IN LABOR BOARD RULING

Because il was not done long ago
was not done, in fact, until it was eStab-
lished that congress would act if the
labor board did not-a majority of Am
erican citizens are justified in the belief
that the National Labor Relations Board
did not act in good faith in adopting
ruling that employers as we'll as en-
ployes can petition for a collective bar
gaining election
If the labor board has power to grant
to employers the right to petition for
an employe election, it stands self-con-
victed of bias against all employers for
not having exercised its power many
months ago. More than that, it appears
as weakened organization pliable
under political pressure because, at
time when congress was preparing to re-
write the Wagner act, it suddenly made
the ruling.
Only one Interpretation can be placed
on the sudden about-face. The labor
board does not want congress to write
into the Wagner act a clause specifically
allowing employers to petition for col
lective bargaining election among their
employees. If the labor board does not
want such a provision in the law, it
stands to reason the labor board objects
to the right of employers so to petition.
anu, lHuS, IL diSO W
reason the labor board, once the threat
of congressional action is removed, will
again deny the right it now so magnani-
mously gives the men who pay the salaries.
There is only one way the right of
employers can be safeguarded. That is
for revision Of the law as originally
planned by congress. The discretionary
power Of the labor board in this matter
should be removed 1t should be the
legal right, legally stated, of any EN-
ployer to petition for an election TO set
tie difference between his employees
which may threaten his business.
This right of employers to petition
for an election, in day Of jurisdictional
disputes between warning labor unions,
is a matter of grave necessity. Without
it, the employer has been forced to stand
by in many instances and see his plant
shut down, his business ruined and his
investment wiped out while two rival
unions disputed which one was qualified
to sign a contract with him. 1t is only
logical that the employer has the right
to ask an election to determine with
whom, under the law. he shall deal.
1t is the law, not the National Labor
Relations Board, which should give him
this right. Congress must see to that,
regardless of the sly political machina-
tions of the labor board.

Bruce Cation in Washington
Dissects the News

impending break between WA
management and the Alliance Is
correct. 1t does, however, hlgn-
light one of WPA's worst head
aches. -
Someryell went to the mat with
the Workers Alliance and the
Teachers Union after an Alliance
grievance committee chairman had
threatened a WPA officials secre-
tary over the phone and a Union
official had written letter de-
manding that all WPA project su-
pervisors give excellent" ratings
to everyone under them.
When Somervell announced that
any further communications from
the Alliance official would be dis
regarded, gossip here began to
have it that the administration
was going to cold-shoulder the
Alliance henceforth on the ground
that its leftist tendencies would
be a heavy liability in the 1910
campaign.
That gossip is wrong. Official
WPA attitude is that any organi-
zation representing any employees
may negotiate for them; Workers
Alliance is still in good standing,
and no change is contemplated.

Willis Thorntons Editorial on:
Economics, 1900 and 1889

ism and problems lie IN a great IN
d,,strial community, lashed OUT
from a convention rostrum IN al
attack on the "cupidity OF wealth..
Accustomed to respond only TO
self-interest and profit" he declar-
ed Ignorant or contemptuous of
all notions of stewardship and So
cial function. and yet living under
hallucinations of moral grandeur,
wealth daily perpetrates horror
of mass starvation and exposure.
"The poor who have no purchas.
ing power can make no appeal TO
the cupidity of wealth. There is
nothing for it to do except change
the system of control. America
must cree. a system in which wealth
will not have the only way"
Neither of these persons is i'm
portant in the political fight which
is raging over attempted reforma-
tion of our economic system. 1t is
q struggle which Americans OF this
generation probably will see settled
in their lifetime.
The millions of citizens who are
identified with neither camp, but
who seek only the right to live In
peace, happiness and reasonable
security, hope that in between these
two contrasting points of view a
solution can be found without re-
sort to violent political upheaval.

and Paris. Gladys OgllVle, the old.
est of the sisters gave me informa-
ton She is the member among
the famous seven who Specializes in
treatments for the hair. To her
your hair is your most important
qualification towad beauty. She
has studied scientific hair handling
il five countries. She went TO
Vienna just TO take a special course,
and spent four months there doing
nothing but studying hair. She
even has a doctors degree for her
knowledge OF hair. She spoke in
80 high schools and colleges in
Florida alone this spring on health
and hair attention.
I asked her to give me six simple
rules for brushing your hair as it
should be done. She surprised me
by saying that you have to stand
correctly - that is, at the proper
angle-or you can't do a good job.
Well, here they are just as she gave
the INTO me:
/. Do not sit down. Stand with
your feet apart, and bend forward
from the hips. Now bend your head
slightly downward This will help
the blood to circulate through your
scalp, and encourage vitality in your
hair
2. Rest the wooden part of the
brush against the scalp, then with
a turn of the wrist work upward
and outward Always brush up
ward and outward. Never down
ward. Never brush straight out
Brush ith a rotary motion. This
will encourage your hair to curl
Naturally the design of the brush
is important A correctly designed
brush will make it easier and mora
simple
3. Make the bristles penetrat,
the hair, and draw the brush up sc
that the hair is forced through the
brush. This will serve to remove
all dirt and CRIME, and if done cor
rectly, the hair will be fluffy anc
attractive when you have finished
4. Wipe the brush on a towe
after each strand is brushed. You'll
be surprised, when you get through
at the amount of dirt on your tow
ell
5. Wash the bristles in sud!
made from pure soap. Do not us,
ammonia. Drying your brush il
the sun keeps it fresh and swee
smelling.
6. Give your hair 100 strokes il
the morning, and the same nunbe,
in the evening. This will take abou
five minutes twice a day.
II you will follow these six sim
pie rules, she guarantees that yo,
will improve the appearance o
your hair Why don't you cut then
cut and stick them in the edge o
your table dressing mirror and tr,
them for a month? For nothing /
so lovely for a Woman-and thi
also is applicable to men-as beauti
tul hair.

WHATS IN A NAME?
.Tulare Advance-RegiSter)

Let's take our eyes off Congress, taxes,
and armaments for a brief moment and
have a look at the newest battle of an
old war again flaring up in England,
accompanied by hotly contested cries of
He did" and He didn't!'
Just the other day the deputy keeper
of ancient manuscripts in the British
Museum after years spent examining
three pages of faded, smudged writing
under ultraviolet and infra-red rays,
announced that here, at last might be
the answer to one of literature's greatest
mysteries: Did Shakespeare really write
Shakespeare's plays? Or was it Sir Fran
els Bacon?
For if the blotched pages turn out to
be Shakespeare's, they will be the only
original manuscripts by him known to
exist. Whether Avon's bard wrote the
plays attributed to him, or whether they
were actually the work of philosopher
scientist Sir Francis Bacon, has been
the source of a long feud between the
pros and cons The recent announcement
by the keeper of ancient manuscripts
doesn't seem likely to end it, either. If
Shakespeare's handwriting was as bad
as all that" snapped the Bacon faction,
"he couldn't possibly have written any
plays. No one could have read his writ
ing"
The literary sharpshooters won't
agree, but does it make much difference
after all? Whoever wrote them, they're
still good The world has yet to produce
a better story of how Boy meets Girl
than Romeo and Juliet, a finer drama
of the man who knows his duty, and
doesn't do it, than Hamlet, more blood
cufdling tale of treachery than the deeds
of Macbeth and his wife.
As WiIl-or was it Francis?-said

ONE TERM ENOUGH
FOR a PRESIDENT?
(Oroville Mercury-Register)

The possibility that President Roose-
welt may be candidate for third term
in the White House has started anew the
old controversy as to whether or not the
two term only tradition should be pre-
served.
There are thse who contend that even
two terms for total of eight years is
too long for one individual to hold the
office 1t is pointed out that since the
civil war seven presidents have served
two terms and six have served a single
term each. Prior to the civil war five
presidents served two terms while seven
served but one. From this it might be
argued that we have in point of numbers
already something of precedent for
One-term-only rule. Those now advocat-
ing that candidates in the future be COM
mitted to a one-term pledge argue with
some force of logic that president SO
pledged would be more independent and
more able to give his undivided atten-
ton to the duties of the office were he
not candidate to succeed himself.
The duties of the office are arduous
in the extreme and constantly becoming
more so. Eight years of the strain is
more than we should exact from any one
fitted for the office
1t is of course apparent that those now
urging one term pledge from presi-
Dental candidates are doing so with the
object of making it more difficult for
Mr.. Roosevelt to ask for twelve years
in the White House. However, aside
from the political aspect of the discus
sion. there is much force to the argu-
ment that one term as president might
be sufficient for any American.

WASHINGTON.-F'or just about
the first time since the government
started Spattering big concrete
dams all over the far west, some
real price-cutting competition has
developed in the cement industry.
As a result, the government stands
to save better than 81 500 600 IN the
building OF Shasta Dam. i'll Califor-
MIA, and looks forward TO similar
savings on other jobs.
The immediate reason for the
competition is the fact that Henry
j. Kaiser is going into the cement
making business. Kaiser heads a
big west coast construction COM
pany bearing his name; he helped
organize and for a time was presi-
dent of Six Companies, the con-
struction firm which built Boulder
Dam. But up to now ne has been
a user of cement, not maker of 1t.
His appearance on the scene has
broken up a picture which has
been drawing periodic protests
from Secretary of the Interior
Ickes for years. Three years ago
Ickes appeared before the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee to
complain that he was getting a
vast number of identical or prac-
tically identical bids for building
materials, citing cement in parti-
cular, and remarkng that II haven't
any doubt but that this practice
has cost the people millions OF
dollars"
Hence Ickes and his Bureau of
Reclamation are elated over the
fact that Comptroller General Fred
H. Brown has given approval to
the award of the Shasta Dam ce-
ment contract to Kaiser's COM
pany, which underbid the other
companies by more than S1,500,000
Shasta Dam is a unit in the huge
$170,000000 Central Valley Prof.
ect on the Sacramento and San
Joaquin rivers in California. 1t will
take 100000 barrels of cement tc
build the dam. Kaiser'S company

But the six losing companies
protested. They argued that Per-
manente is not qualified bidder
since it was neither a dealer in
cement nor a manufacturer of ce-
ment when the bids were made.
Brown has now ruled that hi.
office will not question the award
and the green light is on.
A gap of a million and a hal
between cement bids is practically
unprecedented, as far as the Blu.
reau of Reclamation is concerned
Officials there are delighted; they
point out, too, that they will bt
buying much more cement for wes
coast dams in the near future.

you ARE YOUR
OWN BEST JUDGE

Paul Henkel president of the Society
of Restauranteurs, whose years in the
business should qualify him to speak,
recently advised Americans to forget
about high falutin' ideas of vintage wine
and dated wine and foreign wine, and
drink the wine they like best because,
he declared, "every man is his own best
judge of wine"
A lot of people who don't like wine
could take his advice to heart about the
things they do like. Life would be lot
more enjoyable for most of us if we
remembered that we are our own best
judges of books, amusements, friends,
parties and what-have-you. Nine-tenths
of the gray hairs some of Us begin to
get in the 30's come from worrying about
what other people think. The other
tenth comes from legitimate worry.
Every individual is different from
every other, so it is reasonable that each
should have different likes and dislikes.

likes, not by what someone else says
