THE WORKERS ALLIANCE
A PRESSURE GROUP
{ Fullerton Tribune)


One phase of the proposed congress
sional investigation of the WPA Setup
is scrutiny of the Workers Alliance
and the part it has played in the politics
and management of relief and relief en-
ployment The Workers Alliance accord
ing to evidence which has been brought
forth time after time, is communist III
conception and dominated by commu-
nists. Its purpose is to exact the great
est amount possible from the govern
ment in return for the smallest amount
of production possible. The state relief
problem in California is complicated
lust now by blunt charges concerning
the activities of this outfit and its influ-
ence over the state relief administration
itself.
The amazing thing about the Workers
Alliance is its complacent assumption
that beneficiaries of WPA and relief
are not receiving contribution from the
taxpayers, but only collecting what Is
due them. The Inference from their poll
cies and actions is that they regard relief
and WPA as a permanent fixture and
enrolment for federal aid as a career.
lISl6du u DelllS SldNSl lul AOi bliC llNlp
given by the great mass of taxpayers,
they take the attitude that the govern
ment owes them an easy living for life
Their audacity in many cases has been
startling; they have even gone SO far as
to invade Washington and make threats
against relief officials and members of
congress.
1t is a surprising thing that the ma
tional administration ever permitted this
organization to gain headway. At one
time it was publicly proclaimed by the
president that the government could not
recognize organized labor to the eXclu-
sion of unorganized labor on any project
involving the use of public funds. But
all WPA projects involve the use Of pub
lie funds; and it is here that the Workers
Alliance flourisheS.
Congress could perform no better ser
vice in cleaning up the rotten relief mess
than to enact legislation automatically
removing from relief and WPA rolls
every beneficiary belonging to an organ
ization designed to put organized pres
sure upon the administration for these
two government enterprises.

If PEOPLE ONLY
KNEW ONE ANOTHER

There would be less danger of war
in the world today if people only knew
one another Not the politicians and
diplomats, but the common, garden var
iety of citizens who pay the taxes ana
grumble about the government. Inc Dan
ger of war would be less because the
average citizen would find out that ms
fellow average citizen In another country
is pretty much the same as he Is, with
the same desires, the same disllkes and
the same fears.
The man on the street in Berlin does
MT like to be killed in war any more than
the man on the street in Washington
does. The mother in London is Just as
much opposed to sending her son to the
battlefields as is the mother IN Warsaw.
War is not made by the peoples of any
nation. 1t is made by a few power-mad
individuals whose madness carries them
bevond consideration for the welfare of
their own nation or any other nation.
If the people Of the world could know
one another as we know our next door
neighbors it is safe to say the lust OF
the warmongerS would be curbed by
popular disapproval. We may not ad-
mre the folks who live next door to US,
we may sometimes dislike them-but II
we are normal we never murder them
War is nothing but murder on gigantic
scale.
II might be we'll if, next time we feel
like approving of warike measures, we
would pause long enough to remember
that the people against whom we should
like to see war declared are no better
and no worse than our friends and neigh
bors; they are moved by the same kind
of propaganda and fooled by the same
kind of bombast that catches our own
eyes and ears.
1t is foolish even though seemingly
quite natural, to go to war against race
of ogres, and then find to our surprise
after we've killed off few thousand of
them and been killed off ourselves, that
they're really pretty decent chaps, after

Famous Sayings

Ever since the Nazi Bund came
out in the open in the united
States, it has been evident that we
will have to learn how to handle
a new problem.
The incidents one after another,
which have followed the bund's ap-
Eearances. have provided lessons
we all should heed.
First: When the Madison Square
Garden rally of the bund was held
Mayer LaGuardia established a
policy. and carried it out with
firmness: /. Nazis have the same
right to meet in public that any
Cne else has-no more, no less. 2.
Gatherings of hostile people met
with the obvious intent of break
ing up the meeting must not be al
lowed 3. II there is any policing
to be done, the police will do it.
and not any kind of unofficial and
privately organized groups
Second: A recent similar rally in
the Bronx set another precedent.
Police found that the Nazis had
storm Troops"-men in uniform
and equipped evidently to keep
order Police stripped off their
Sam Browne belts and arm-bands.
Lesson: Any such amateur police"
must not only be prevented from
assuming police functions, but must
not even be allowed to kid them
selves that they have any such
powers.
Third In Mexico City, a huge
mass meeting Of unionistS had
been arranged A rival organization
then hastily tried to arrange
competing meeting" with every
chance that there would be trouble
between them. Police action: the
second meeting was prevented with
assurance that they could meet
later at any time and place that
was not obviously inviting friction
between the parties.
Is that an infraction of freedom
of assembly? Probably. But in the
United States it is the right peace
ably to assemble" that is guaran-
teed In cases like this, where the
intent is obviously to invite de-
fiance and friction between groups
it is just possible that it may be
better to insist on separate dates.
This issue is not yet clear cut in
the United States.
But it is obvious that when one

STERNER MEASURES FOR
ACCIDENT PREVENTION

In spite OF continued warnings IN news
papers and through other mediums, in
spite Of seemingly never-ending reports
of new and mounting fatalities, in spite
of every moral persuasive force that can
be used, Imperial motorists go on kill
ing themselves and others on the county's
highways.
The only thing left is stricter enforce
ment of all traffic laws, to nip accidents
at the SOurce-nOt after they have hap
pened. No power on earth can prevent
all accidents, but there are measures
which can forestall a good number of
them. In the hands Of law enforcement
officers and the courts is the machinery
to reduce the number of potential acci-
dents.
The California Highway Patrol in In
perial county is understaffed, but addi-
tional patrolmen would mean an addi-
tional expense to taxpayers, and Sacra-
mentO is the arena now for a battle to
people are TO pay less taxes, they must
be content without new governmental
services.
This leaves the problem squarely up
to existing departments. Cooperation Of
ali including the highway patrol
men, city police, county officers and
possibly the most important of all-the
courts, would do much to reduce acc-
dents. Strict, even harsh law enforce
ment, with full penalties provided by
courts, would be one step in the right
direction. Nobody should be exempt from
punishment Nobody should ask exemp-
tion.

AVERAGE, 500 PER CENT
{ (San Francisco NeWS)

Startling is this report of the Legal
Aid Society's investigation: There are
at least 1900 out-and-Out loan sharks in
the San Francisco Bay area. The mini
mum rates collected by them are around
200 per cent, while the maximum runs
as high as 1850 per cent and the mean
average is approximately 900 per cent"
Such wholesale extOrtion accounts in
no small degree for the ruthless fight
these human leecheS have made against
the model bills to outlaw loan sharks.
The senate judiciary committee how
ever, ha 5 unanimously recommended
passage of Senator John F. ShclIey's
anti-loan-shark bill, which has been
championed by the Legal Aid Society,
the attorney general and other experts.
The report that interest rates, broker
age fees and all the hidden charges load
ed On desperate, unwary borrowers by
local loan sharks average 600 per cent
emphasizes that limit must be placed
