MEMBER
BARGAIN, DARN YOU,
RlpcAlN

The National Labor Relations Board
seems more interested in determining
bargaining agents for employees in some
Imperial Valley packing sheds than are
the employees themselves.
The board is determined to see that
the shed employees are represented by
somebody, whether they want to be or not
In five valley packing sheds last
Thursday 270 employees We're eligible 10
vote, yet only 4S voted. OF the 4S who
voted AZ voted for the CIO On the basis
Of CIO policies, il is likely that the union
mustered practically al the real strength
it had--in other words, all Of the CIO
men went to the polls
Yet it would be not at all surprising
to learn that the National Labor Rela-
tions Board has certified the Go as
bargaining agent for four OF the five
sheds. because more Go men voted in
each OF the four.
OF course the fifth shed, where no.
body at all voted, will present something
of a problem. if the board attempts to
certify CIO as It's bargaining agent.
What the board does. however, and
the strength of the Go. are beside the
point.
The revealing aspect of the entire mat
ter is the apparent disregard by the
employees themselves of the board-spon-
sored election-of the labor board itself,
if you please. The labor board, self
styled champion of the downtrodden
(according to the same board) employe,
finds its championship unwanted.
When only six out of sixty employees al
oh. lNo,. ;,,,,,
as was the case at the Alex Engleman
shed, common sense leads to the belief
that majority Of employees don't give
whoop in rain barrel about having
some union act as their bargaining agent
1t will be interesting to see the fur
ther reaction Of the labor board.

A THIRD TERM SlDELIGHT

While New Dealers are doing their
utmost to drum up a draft Roosevelt
movement to make a third term cam
paign look good and anti-New Deal
Democrats are doing all in their power
to discourage an attempt they believe
would be fatal to their party's current
political prestige. there is yet another
consideration that has escaped giarng
attention.
1t is the desire OF President Roosevelt
to instigate peace maneuvers among
warning European nations.
The President. who is a better inter-
national diplomat than he is long-term
politician (and he's a downright good
politician, too, would like to go down
in history as the man who helped bring
sensible peace 70 Europe
ii ne were to announce now that he
Will not seek nor accept third term,
any slight chance he may have Of in
fluencing European diplomacy will melt
faster than snow in Imperial Valley.
On the other hand, if he announced
that he will seek third term, or indi-
Gated that he will accept the nomination,
ne would be SO doggoned busy defending
himself at home that he would have no
time to study the trends in Europe.
The chances of anyone bringing peace
to Europe within two years are as slight
as COMMUNISTS conscience, but at
least the bare possibility provides Roose-
welt with good reason for keeping still
about third term.

Strous Declares Agency
Is fooled Up to Do
Big, Quick Job

Adequate housing facilities for
persons working on the Nation S
defense program are assured through
the United States Housing Authority
Administrator Nathan Straus said
today.
Discussing the housing needs for
the thousands of workers involved
In the defense program, Mr.. Straus
declared, "U. s. II. A. is fooled up
to do the biggest and quickest hous-
ing job America has ever seen,"
adding:
There is no 'bottle-neck' in U. S.
H. A." and the organization with
Its 500 local authorities located in
nearly every strategic community in
the country, is producing and will
continue to produce homes for de-
fense workers when and where they
are needed"
THE defense housing program
does not need to wait for surveys
TO determine factS. 1t has them, y
he said. For three years local
housing authorities have been COL
lecting the facts on rentals, incomes,
population trends, industrial facili-
ties, racial composition, taxes and
municipal administration costs, in
their communities. Today these
facts are available"
The authority is equipped with
experts to carry forward any
necessary housing program without
loss of time, he said.
"The World War caught us with
out facts, without organization
without experience, without tools"
Mr.. Straus declared. This time
we have all four. Given adequate
funds to keep the production line
In motion, we need fear no lack OF
homes for defense workers."
