Gil of the United Brotherhood OF

These four men talked for so
minutes, at an approximate cost TO
Uncle Sam of Just about Sl0O.
When they got through, they were
in agreement. Murray accepted the
5-cent-ralse. and in lieu of paid
vacatlons-Which just aren't feas-
lble in logging camps-offered 2
further increase in pay to make up
the difference. This, in turn, salts
fled Hartley. who agreed that the
remaining logging camp could be
taken care of later.
Result was that the last of the
struck mills reopened next day.
NEW IDEA
FOR WAGE CHANGES
Steelman is elated by the settle.
ment for more reasons than one.
First, he is tickled by the way III
dustry, labor and the defense COM
mission worked togethcr-"It was
really Bransome who made thC
conference possible" he remark
and second, he sees possibilities Of
vast Importance in one clause OF
the agreement which ended the
strike.
This clause, in brief, says that
there Will be further negotiations
concerning wages next March, by
which time a special study Of con-
ditionS in the Douglas fir industry
Is to be completed by Dexter Kcc-
zer, president of Reed College.
DR.. Keczor is to make this study
Tor the workers and employers to
gether, assisted by experts supplied
by DR.. ISadorc Lubin cf tho Labor
Department. The hope Is that it
will be possible to tic wage rates
IN the industry in with the price
Of lumber in such a way that the
worker can automatically get his
share of price increases, and pay
his share lin the form of reduc-
tlonS down toward a basic agreed
en- minimum when hard times
come and prices 90 down IF this
can be worked out, there is a chance
Tor enduring peace in the north
west lumber industry.

SAVING THE
DEMOCRATIC WAY
(Wall Street JournaN

America must arm for defense. By
constructing vast fighting forces, land,
sea, and air? Of course, but these are
only part of our defense. In the last
analysis, our nations safety depends also
on our peoples belief in our way of life
and our confidence in the future. We
must build up our ties of common inter-
est to withstand every assault. Even the
strength of our fighting force depends
largely on this. Armies fight as the
people think" said wise general. To
achieve strong national morale, | pro-
pose that all of us become champions Of
freedom. Ny message boils down to four
words. Speak up for Democracy"
That paragraph, taken from the fore
word of Edward l.. Bernay's new book
bearing those four words as its title,
poses a question and suggests an answer
an answer which the author enlargeS
on with great deal of practical advice
to group and community leaders who so
often establish the trend of thought for
their fellows.
But the important thing is that a book
on defense of democracy has been writ
ten by one skilled in the field of public
persuasion. We are too prone to accept
democracy as something inherent in our
way of life, something which is so en-
bedded in our institutions that its posi-
tion is forever unasSalable. Nothing
is further from the fact. The idea of
democracy is something to be guarded
jealousy, to be installed anew into each
budding generation and nurtured in the
minds of its elders Only thus can our
liberties and our way of life be saved

WASHINGTON. Dec. 24-There
never was a stranger last act to a
strike than the transcontinental
telephtne conference which ended
the troub.ous northwest coast lun-
ber strike.
The strike had dragged On for
weeks. and peace was being restor-
ed BY degrees. A formula was fin
ally worked cut a 5-cent-per-hour
pay raise and vacations with pay,
and the struck mills were brought
INTO line one by one. It at last got
to the point where u strike-closed
mills in Tacoma remained.
these strikers were willing to
settle-provided a settlement could
also be reached at two logging
camps back in the hills. The loggers
had walked out more or less in
sympathy with the Tacoma mill
hands. and the mill workers insist
ed they wouldn't sign until the
loggers were taken care Of.
Chief trouble was that the heads
OF the two logging camps were out
of town and couldn't be located.

GIFT EXCHANGES
ABANDONED

In past seasons many Hollywood
ties have sent out penny greeting
cards instead of costly ones and
have given the difference to charity.
A more important scheme along
the same idea is being adopted this
year: Instead of A giving b an
expensive present, he sends him
a card saying that the money which
might have been spent for, say(
a sterling silver cocktail set, has
been donated to such -and-Such an
organization The agency receiving
the money from A also gets a card
identifying B as the donor. So B
continues to use his last years
steVling silver cocktail set, and
everybody is happy.
There are several other Hollywood
relief groups, such as the Assistance
-7 l''l' the principal agency
@-tlin the movie industry is the
Melton Picture Relief Fund, to
which almost everyone contributes
one-half of l per cent of weekly
earnings. Today it spends about
$4,000 a month in aiding nearly
1000 individuals.
And the Screen Actors Guild
contributes the $4,000 a week re-
ceived from 4 sponsored radio show
on which actors, writers and direc-
tors work free. Nearly all this
money is being saved to build and
endow a home for old and needy
veterans of the flickers.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

When Farmer Browns Boy came
to the door to see what all the fuss
in the henyard was about, Bully
the English Sparrow expected to
see Bob White and his family fly
away. When they didn't, Bully
hardly knew what to make of it,
You see, he himself and his family
always flew when Farmer Browns
Boy came near. Probably if Bob
and his comrades had not been so
very, very hungry, they would have
flown.
Bless my heart!" exclaimed
Farmer Browns Boy, as he saw the
little brown birds scurrying about
among the hens. trying to get some
thing to eat. Bless my heart,
had forgotten all about Bob White!
l ought to have put some grain out
for the quails. Poor little chaps,
they must be nearly starved" With
that he started for the henhouse.
At his first appearance all the
SparroWs flew up to the roof of the
barn. AS he drew near the barn
yard Bob White and his family
whirred up out Of the henyard. Bully
the English Sparrow shrieked joy
ouSly. Having been driven away
himself. he reioiced in seeing the
Bob Whites driven away.
When Farmer Browns Boy came
out of the henhouse he held in his
hand little pan of wheat and
cracked corn and chaff. These
goodies he scattered over the snow
outside the henyard. Bully the
English Sparrow watched, and knew
not what to make of it. Of only
one thing was Bully certain, and
this was that he meant to have his
share and a little more of that
grain. He would wait until Farmer
Browns Boy was out of the way,
and then he and his family would
take possession.
But Farmer Browns Boy kept
Just within the henhouse door. Bully
could see him because Bully was
sitting on the roof Of the barn and
could look right down in the open
henhouse So long as Farmer
Browns Boy was there Bully did
not dare 90 down for the grain
spread on the snow.
Presently there was a Whir OF
swift wings. and there was Bob
White and his family back there
Just outside the henyard. They had
not vet discovered the grain. Bully
watched them iealously. After a
little Bob White found the feast
spread for him, and with a gentle
call brought all his family running
to have share in it. Bully
chuckled as he saw Farmer Browns
Boy peep out at them. Hell shoot
them or something" thought Bully,
and watched eagerly But Farmer
Browns Boy did nothing Of the kind.
He smiled as he watched the hungry
Bob Whites.
How these hungry birds did pick
up that grain! They picked it up
until the very last bit disappeared.
Then at a happy little signal from
Bob White they followed him in a
Whirring little brown cloud down
70 the far corner of the Old orchard.
They had had a square meal and
suddenly all the world was bright
and joyous place in spite Of the cold.
