LABOR PLAYS
WITH FIRE
(Tulare Advance Register)

(Iulare Advance heglSter)
Not from any "reactionary tory" -
as left-wing radicals term most taXpay-
ing, payroll-maintaining farmers and
businessmen-bu from Norman Thom-
as, leader of the Socialist Party, comes
this statement:
"A great danger lies in the present
attitude of labor, against which a reac-
tionary wave is setting in Labor is play
ing with fire by its civil warfare
BY dramatic coincidence, Socialist
Thomas voiced his warning in San Fran
cisco, the seaport that has had more
than its share of labor wars, with costly
port tieups loss of shipping, impair
ment of business and increase in unem-
ployment. The condition has caused
statewide concern, for serious loss on
any major front must affect the entire
state.
Fortunately, with labor disputes some
what at minimum. San Francisco is re-
porting better times Waterfront ton
mage is up 20 per cent over a year ago,
carlOadings up 10 per cent, new indus
tries up 80 per cent.
Mr.. Thomas knows that better business
in major port is good news for the
state. He knows the "reactionary wave
setting in is an angry reaction against
attempts of alien agitators to bend labor
to its will, to rip to shreds the economic
fabric of great cities and vast farm areas
in order to gain their ultimate objective:
destruction of the American system of
free enterprise in business.
Responsible labor leaders, and respon-
sible rank-and-file unionists, will do we'll
to heed Mr.. Thomas advice In flirting
with that element of leadership whose
banner is red, large number of mis-
guided American workers have endang-
cred much of the solid and justified
progress of the labor movement in this
country.

honor students, and their dad had given
them the trip because of their scholastic

came over a nationwide radio hOok-up
A sidewalk broadcast was being made,
the announcer carrying his mike along

But, these girls answered everything
wrong.
"Where are you from?" asked the an
nouncer.
'We're from Home in southern Cal
ifornia'
''1s that near Los Angeles? ?"
ITS not near enough for US"
"You mean you would rather live in
Los Angeles than in Home?"
1--WE certainly would"
"How is business in Home?"
"Rotten.'
And so the brief conversation went
on, the two bright girls making it plain
that Home was very impoverished
place and that of all southern California
undesirables, it was the worst Now, this
is a true incident, and the people who
heard the broadcast We're Inundated
and prone to blame the girls for an out
standing bit of -wittedness.
But, were the girls to blame? That is
the type of conversation in which they
had moved during the most Of their i'm
pressionable parts of their lives. This
atmosphere of defeatism has been prea-
ched and lived for so long that it will
take another generation to work it out

HARRY BRIDGES IS RIGHT
ABOUT ONE THING

Labor unions, Harry Bridges thinks.

improving wages and hours. He voiced
MS oellef from the witness stand at de-
portatlon hearings in San Francisco.
linen, Tor once at least, Bridges spoke
words of truth and absolute wisdom.
NO trade union," he said, has the
right to disregard what happened in
SPAN and what is happening in Europe,
emma and South America"
In that one sentence, if he were to
analyze 1t together with all its implica-
uons, Bridges voiced a warning which
should be headed by himself and his
FELLOW left-wing labor agitators. Ease
ism is the last thing Bridges and his
KIND want Yet Bridges and his kind
are doing more in the United States to-
day to promote FasciSm than anyone
else could possibly do.
1he history of FasciSm should show
Bridges why he is taking course which.
II unchecked will lead to Fascism.
Mussollnl brought Fascism to Italy
because that nation was weary unto
death of the Communism which had
been imposed upon it.
Hitler rose TO Fascistic power in Ger
many because Germans could no longer
stomach the Communism to which they
were subjected after the World War
Japan became FasciStic power be-
cause she was threatened on her from
tiers and in China by Communistic
forces
Fascism is like a fungus growth 1t
needs Communism to feed upon. Wher-
ever in this world FaSciSm has appeared,
it has taken root in Communism, and
then has destroyed Communism to feed
its own growth.
Fascism is no better than Communism,
and no worse. Starting from different
points of the compass, they reach the
same place in the end In America we
want neither. We regard as enemies of
society those who attempt to foist Ell
ther doctrine upon us. And they are
enemies of society because, if successful,
they would stifle freedom.
Bridges might very we'll remember
another fact. In only one nation in the
world has Communism ever become a
recognized government doctrine That
was III Russia, where Communism dis
placed the most despotic, tyrannical re-
gime the world knew at that time In
the other nations where Communism has
gained foothold in government, it has
served only to breed Fascism.
Bridges, whether a Communist or not,
has done much to help the Communist
program along. If he in fact loathes
Fascism as he says. he would be wise
to examine the causes of Fascism, and do
what he can to prevent it in America
by stamping out Communism.

Plays and stories without end
have been written around the
theme of what men would be most
likely to do if they knew they had
only a definitely-limited time to
live. d. FNNK
Men have been portrayed as en-
tering on one last desperate fling
at pleasure; they have been por-
trayed as turning passionately to re-
ligion; they have been portrayed
in stoical attitude of defiance, or
in meekest resignation.
But the actual thing itself is be-
ing played out in New York Claude
Joseph Bradley has been told that
within a very few weeks he must
die.
Bradley is a sales manager for
a cement company, and Tor several
months. since a deadly paralysis
attacked his legs, he has been doing
business over the telephone. Ply
sicians then told him that a malig-
nant cancer of the spine left him
no hope and only limited num-
Der of weeks to live. 1t was as dis
NAL a sentence as ever came over

What did Bradley do? Nothing
theatrical at all. He went home,

This same principle is equally true

2. Show a sincere personal inter-
est in your men. No one likes to feel

a man to do something and forget

the chances are that he won't do
it the next time.
9. Don't show them up-show
them how. In giving field training
the sales manager should try to
teach his statesmen; not try to
show them that he can do it better
than any Of them.
Unless you live far from the
