ONE MILLION VOTES

The Wagner Laoor Relations Act has
been on the books for five years. On the
fifth anniversary the board added up all
the votes cast in industrial elections dur
ing those five years, They totaled
1,153,819
Now, since there are today about TO-
100000 gainfully employed people in the
country, this means that roughly one
worker in 40 has voted in industrial cleo
tionS for collective bargaining rcprcScn-
tation The vast scope of this law is at
once apparent.
Perhaps too, this helps explain why
both maj jor parties wish to keep the law
on the books. Despite demands for modi-
fication of the law, and Of personnel and
procedure under it, the main objective
of the law, which is to introduce orderly
democratic procedure into field that
all too often falls into conflict and con-
fusion, is still a valid one and will con-
tinue to be.

There is no reason 10 expect improvement

Willis Thornton's Editorial On:
Mexico Chooses

Mexico votes, and several scores
of people lie dead and wounded
"Shocking!" say the thin-skinned
conveniently forgetting the 10 dead
and 100 wounded who lay on the
ground in Chicago on Memorial
Day 1887, when the United States
also had failed to adjust a con-
troverSy without violence.
1t is not to be denied that the
Mexican election was violent
and rowdy aft II, falling far short
of any textbook democracy. The
votes are yet to be counted. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the
candidates and their followers will
abide by the announced results.
Probably until September there will
be more or less disorder in the
southern republic.
But initial shock at this rough
and-tumblc election ought not to
blind us to something very sig
nificant.
That is the fact that nearly
tive million people are believed to
have voted. No such widespread
expression of the popular will has
been seen in Mexico for many years.
Whether that is now to be translated
into an orderly change of admin
istration remains to be seen. But
there seems now an excellent chance
of it.
In the very disorder itself there
is evidence of a certain vitality
