Repair of the pipe line from the Wigwam reservoir to the city was referred last night by the board of works to a committee which Will have power to act. City Engineer Charles A. Root has reported that erosion and slides have left the pipe unsupported in certain locations, and states that break would soon de- prive the city of water.
 The repairs would cost an esti- mated $500. The committee will also consider the possibility of coln-

Association meeting at Aberdeen

that unwanted visitors~cause head
aches more often than physical dis
orders. Other causes listed were
loud voices, the prospect Of unwel-
come tasks, dislike Of other people,
worry, insomnia and insults. My

that this list is incomplete because

gain grou that this is intended to
be fippaa5 or facetious. On the con-
trary, it is intended to be helpful
and to show these people what is
really the matter with them. In
most instances their headaches are
very mysterious to them, and they
never understand that they are a
purely nervous reflex.
In Common Speech
Yet, the connection is one that
should be understood, for it has
passed into common speech. A. sec

ache" A person with loud voice
is a Headache" So is business
that is going bad, or an unwanted
visitor, or an unwelcome task.
The nervous headache is likely to
be described as a pressure" or like
cap pressing down on the head, a
steel band, etc.
In treatment the important thing
is not to waste money on non-essen-
tials - the teeth being elaborately
fixed, or eyeglasses. etc.

THE ASTORlA'S
MISSION OF PEACE
{ Milwaukee Journal)

NhlNduhSe JoutHaiH
Adviees from Japan tell of grateful
ness national in its scope for America s
sending home aboard the cruiser Astoria
the ashes Of the late Ambassador Saito.
A Tokyo ieweler asked our naval AZ
tache to accept twenty pearl necklaces
for distribution among the officers 81
the warship. It was his way Of wanting
to express his appreciation. And he add
ed when the question Of acceptance was
put up 10 the Astoria's commander. II
twenty necklaces are not enough. / will
send more.
In nation which venerates those who
serve their country well, the assignment
of one of our finest cruisers for such an
honor was sure TO make a profound I'M
preston. But we were hardly prepared
for the outpouring that has come.
Once more we see that kindness and
efforts at understanding of other peo-
pies thoughts and emotions are worth
more than show Of arms. II you can unr
derstand their hearts you are very close
10 understanding all about them. With
almost the whole world at swords points,
we do a kindly act and whole people is
touched.
This was not merely gesture Of good
will In his years at Washington, the late
Hirosi Saito showed himself the advocate
of peace and understanding between
both peoples He was the friend of Am
erica as we'll as the servant Of Japan.
And this nation wanted to express CRATE
fulness for his services by doing him this
last honor
May the wake that the Astoria leaves
across the Pacific =. be ever the high
way of peace between the two peoples.

IS IT THE NLRB
OR THE CIO2

An agent Of the National Labor Rela-
tions board in San Francisco this week
blamed the American Federation of La
Dor for the shutdown of the Westwood
lumber plant in words which left no
doubt how the NLRB feels about the
AFI..
Perhaps an AFI. union is to blame for
the shutdown, but not in the way the
NLRB agent would have the state be-
lieve. II the labor board had odered
collective bargaining election three
months ago, As the AFL requested, there
would have been no shutdown. The la
Dor board would not do SO, and still
refused to do SO. The reason is plain:
The labor board knows the American
Federation Of Labor union would win
the election and the right to represent
lumber plant laborers in collective bar
gaining The labor board wants the ClO
to win-and would like TO postpone the
collective bargaining e e c ion long
enough To give the ClO time To recruit
enough members to make big showing.
Because the C1O has not made any
headway whatsoever in the Westwood
labor picture, the labor board is extreme
~ angry at the ALL which has good
90 per cent of the union members in the
plant.
No better demonstration has ever been
given of the absolute unfairness that
exists under the Wagner Labor Relations
Act as administered by the National La
Dor Relations Board. The NLRB is heart
and soul for the C1O, and against any
body or any organization which opposes
the CIO, whether it is employer or ALL
union.
The National Labor Relations board,
in fact, might as we'll be an agency of
the Congress of Industrial OrganiZa-
tions 1t is the best organizer the ClO
has. 1t gives the CIO a semblance OF
legality in many instances where, with
out the NLRB, the CIO would be nothing
more than an outlawed organization.
The least the labor board could do
even though it cannot be fair to employ
ers-is to show no discrimination be-
tween labor unions. Yet even that, under
the present makeup of the board, seems
impossible That being the case, one of
the quickest shortcuts to labor peace
today seems to be abolition of the labor
board as it. is now constituted.

ONE STEP IN THE
RIGHT DIRECTION

Decision of the Ell Centro chamber of
commerce Monday TO institute a long
range program which will be climaxed
by celebration marking completion of
the All American canal is one of the
most commendable things yet done by
the chamber
Naturally enough, the program will
begin with Identification of Ell Centre
itself 1t would be utterly foolish for
this city TO take part in a yalley-wide
canal celebration without giving itself
a face lifting to enhance its attractive
ness to any outside visitors who might
be attracted here by the celebration.
The canal celebration itself, however,
should not be limited to any one city or
part of the valley. Its principal cere-
monies should be at some easily avail
able place preferably on the canal itself,
and should be participated in equally
by every community in the valley.
The canal is not project to help one
community: its completion will help all
equally All, therefore, should take
equal pride in celebrating the compile
tion of the big ditch" What each city
does separately is the business of that
city-but the big celebration should be
the business of all the cities.

# Il is a Good Thing, Do 1t Right

But it certainly should be con-
sidered in a tariff bill, on its own
merits, and in connection with the
whole tariff policy and our obli2a-
tions TO other countries under the
Huh trade agreements.
The United States is facing a
grave fight in the foreign trade
field. One Of our handicaps is that
other countries do not know what
they can count on from us. They
know that at any time any agree
nent may be upset by sudden bit
CT lobby pressure in Congress. TheY
know that in dealing with dictator
ships they need not fear this.
This is no suggestion that We
should turn our tariff-making func-
tions over 10 any sort CT a dictator
ship. Congress should keep that
power, but it should prove worthy
Of it by making tariff laws in an
orderly manner and in accordance

complied with the request, and then

Congressman Fred Bradley. Mich
igan Republican, is learning a lot
of things he never knew before
about the food products which his
native state produces.
Recently the congressman an
nounced that a big Michigan food
products dinner would be thrown
on April in the Congressional
restaurant, with members of the
press and congressional delegations
from Michigan, Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin. Illinois, Indiana and Ohio as
guests The big idea was to intro
duce the lads to smelt, those little
fish which are caught in buckets
and old Wash-boilers in the streams
around Escanaba at this time OF
year.
But the rest of the state took
hold in a big way. All sorts OF
commodities began to start coming
in-beans, potatoes, cherries, celery
apples, Whitefish, turkeys, cham
pagne. and heaven knows what else
The result is that the diners will
get one OF the most all-inclusiye
meals ever served in The national
capital.
Congressman Bradley is an avia-
ton enthusiast. Just TO do the dim
ner up right, he is sending his OWL
plane TO Michigan to bring down

People who care about how then
government is run ought to sit
down to little lesson provided by
the effort in the Senate to slide
through an increase in the tariff
Cn vegetable oils.
Whether there ought to be such
an increase is not discussed here.
But the method by which it is
being sought is so bad that it
Saght 10 be noted.
The Senate was considering a
bill relating to the mutual taxation
O. federal and state employees.
Tha vegetable oil people, whose
position is supported by several
%cll-Crganized and powerful lob
bies, got an amendment tackled on
to the tax bill which had nothing
at all to do with the bill. but which
provided a boost in the tariff on
certain foreign vegetable oils which
compete with local products.
President Roosevelt very properly
indicated that he would veto the
bill if it passed in this form. He re-
sents, and naturally, a bill coming
to him for signature which may be
necessary and proper. but which
carries an amendment on an en-
tirely unrelated subject
Thus If the original bill is i'm
portant enough. there is pressure
on the President to sign it, even
though ne thinks the unrelated
amendment is vicious.
This is a frequent dodge in Con-
eress. and il can't be condemned
too often.
In this particular case. it is es-
p6cially bad because the vegetable
Gil tariff IS an integral part of the
entire tariff system. II should be
considered with. and as part Of
the whole tariff plan It is bad
business 10 make UP a national
tariff policy piece-meal. sliding in
concessions here and there when
ever special interests can get them
Il makes the whole tariff system a
disreputable patchwork.
The vegetable eli people may
have a perfectly good case. We
don't know whether they do or
not and we're not guessing.
