Maybe It's The Weather

When we wrote about State Labor Com

good gubernatoria1 timber for the Re-
publicanS of Connecticut some days ago,
we little reckoned that such commotion
would be created. We thought that
everyone who knew the Meriden man was
fully aware of his capabilities and his
potential use to the party to which ne
has given pretty strong allegiance Tor
many years without accepting in return
the many offices that it might have
offered him.
The Meriden Journal called The DEM

tees in the opposition press?"
One thing is certain - the effect is our
own city, Enthusiastically, was to produce
what sounded like snort and grunt from
LeavenWorth Street. That may be due
to the fact that jealous eyes are being
cast on the gubernatorial nomination and
warnings are being issued to all and SUM-
dry to keep hands off, All this, naturally,
in the event that Governor Ray" Baldwin
moves on to bigger and greener fields.
Where the thought of COP ticket

good in some quarters, in others it only
produces distinct pain that gets below

What Was 1t All About?

On a blustery, frost-biting morning
recently, the doorman at the Edgewater
Beach Hotel in Chicago turned to pass
ing bellhop and said Seems mighty
lonely here today" He meant that the
pickets were gone - the pickets who had
patrolled the hotels passageWay night
and day for six years until they had be-
come as familiar to the neighborhood as
the corner cop. They were gone, at last,
because whatever it was they had been
picketing over had been settled. Most
people, including the pickets, couldn't
remember offhand what the dispute was
about except that their signs said the
hotel was unfair to organized labor"
After a while, someone recalled that
the electricians had gone out on a strike
in February, 1884, after they had Neen
refused a monthly pay increase of $28.
" alters and bartenders went out in SYM
pathy. Someone else thought that the
principal issue involved was the right
Of recognition of the A. F. of l.. unions in
the hotel. Whatever it was, representa-
tives of the hotel and union leaders got
together recently, sat around table,
came to an agreement and called off the
pickets. Someone said the six-year geS-
ture had cost the unions 100000 IN
pic Exciting wages and other expenses.
Union leaders declined to reveal the
terms of the settlement. A representa-
tive of the hotel management said that
no concessions we're given - everything
is just as it always was except that the
pickets AVE left.
In way one can -,an but admire the
perseverance spirit OF the pickets and the
mon involved Six years is long time
o be walking around in front of the same
MOTEL. But actually, how much was
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-02-10

gained that couldn't have been gained
six years ago by sitting around
the same table. The pickets long ago had
ceased to attract attention They had
become part of the scenery. They be-
lOnged in front Of the hotel as much as
the doorman did. If the picketing did
no damage to the hotel during the early
months, certainly it did none during the
ensuing years.
Labor has every right to picket in pro-
test against unjust treatment. 1t has also
the right to picket when 1t wants to call
attention to dispute and to point out its
grievances. Presumably, there was moth
ing illegal about the Chicago picketing. If
there had been, the pickets would have
been dispersed long ago. But how sue
cessful was this endurance picketing
project? Practically, what was accomp-
lished, either in enhancing the prestige
of the union movement or in benefiting
individual members? How do the rank
and file of union members feel about
spending 100000 to uphold a somewhat
dubious principle? If both sides were
able to settle the matter by conference
a little while ago, they could have done it
six wears ago.

Flash The Red Light

In the opinion of Senator Millard Tyd-
ings of Maryland, entrance of the Federal
government into the field of life insurance
would jeopardize the safety of the $113,-
100000 of security which now pro-
tects the 81, 100000 Americans who have
purchased life insurance from private
companies.
"Were the government to invade the
field of life insurance. he added, land
take over the vast business that is now
conducted privately, it would take this
nation a long way along the road to
planned economy and state socialism or
communism"
There is obviously vast difference be-
tween government pensions and benefits
for the aged and the unemployed as now
provided by the Social Security Act, and
government sale of one kind or another
of life insurance as business. Private
insurance in this country offers the
thrifty and foresighted every conceivable
kind of financial protection against the
exigencieS of the future. And under our
existing system of state regulation, it has
proven conclusively that it can weather
the worst of depressions with colors fly
ing.
The drive for Federal life insurance is
simply one more step in the radical cam
paign to destroy private enterprise and
put Socialism in it's place. If that cam
paign succeeds no ones business will be
safe, no ones savings will be secure. It's
time to flash the red light.

The opinion of Liam OFlaherty, Irish
author, who has just arrived in this coun-
try, about the recent I. r. A. hangings in
England, comedies with that of most
Irishmen, that the action is to be de-
plored. On the other hand neither does
he condone the actions of what he terms"
small outlaw unit, a relatively unim-
portant factor in the problem. !" Mr..
O'Flaherty, being staunch Irishman,
feels that Ulster and Fire should be united
with no English intervention. The bomb
ings in England by the Ira. group which
were against law and order and the sub
sequent executions were both reprehens-
ible in the opinion of many, and it would
seem that neither action would accomp-
lish a great deal. But it must also be
remembered, as O'Flaherty points out
that a great number of Irishmen, about
$4,000, have volunteered for the British
army in the present European crisis. The
Irish, you would discover if you visited
among them for any length of time, have
no personal dislike of the English, but
they have a strong feeling about their
methods in the past and at the present
time.

. HIGHLIGHTS FROM
LATEST BOOKS
of French Revolution
Describes New Aspect

Engagingly different and tenderly
achieved is Theodore Dehon'S story
of the French Revolution, Heroic
Dust" Macmillan: $3.50. There are
scores of books on the terror that
spread over France as the old regime
tottered and fell, but they are filled
with marching, singing sans culottes,
with the ominous thud of the guillo-
tine.
Not so Heroic Dust" This Is
the story of the Revolution as it
affected the peasants of Norman
dy, and their valiant though los
ing struggle to restore the mon
archy.
Although Mile. Dehon's story of
Louis-Auguste and Alexandrine is
definitely episode and covers an
overly-lengthy period extending
from their childhood to marriage,
the melowness and sympathy ct
her portrayal makes up for the
deficiencies in continuity. Under
any other treatment her story
would have been incomplete.
1t is in the early days of the
Revolution when Alexandrine,
daughter of liberal, first visits
the chateau at Boisdesert. Louis
Auguste assumes the role of pro-
.ector and playmate of his little
friend. But the Revolutionary
edict, outlawing churches and
priests, makes man of the young
hero overnight strengthens his
devotion to the Royalist cause.
At the story progresses, Louis
becomes more and more involved
in the Royalist intrigue, fights
with the phantom Chouans and
with that indomitable Louis de
Frotte, who died heroically before
firing squad
The rise of Napoleon I restored
France to peace, and exiled
Louis-Auguste was at last permit
ted to return to Alexandrine and
Boisdesert.
Mlla. Dehon brings her story
up to the Goth century with her
dedication to a World War soldier
on the last page of the novel:
"One of these lost sons of France
was great-grandson Of Louisa
uste and Alexandrine, and to his
memory this story Of the forebears
and the home that he loved (as
handed down by tradition) Is dedi-
Gated"

A Rose By Any Other

CALIFORNIA; Ham and Eggers have quit
mumbling about their election defeat and
are picking among the wreckage of their
pension scheme to salvage what they can.
In the first place, they've dropped $40 a
week from their plan and they've changed
Thursday" but 1920 Now" Short and
snappy. City, county and state taxes
have been clipped out in favor of gen.
eral 8 per cent gross income tax. And
the new plan makes certain labor's right
to strike, provision that was dubious
in the original proposal.
The whole thing sounds like revival
of an old flop with another title to lure
the customers. In Arizona, combina-
ton of the Townsend and Ham-and-Eggs
plans has sprung up with $50 monthly
pension provision for persons over go.
From time to time, we may expect new
schemes, sprouting almost anywhere in
the country. The song is ended, but the
memory fingers on.

The American Youth Congress contin-
ues to be questionable organization, &C
cording to great many persons. The
latest to condemn it's liberation of Com
munists or Communist influence within
the ranks is Gene Tunney, along with
several other influential persons. It
surely is not just coincidence that the
American Communist party denounces
Finland and the Youth Congress follows
suit It's all well and gooC for Moscow
to tell the Communist party here what to
do and what not to do but an American
Youth Congress should be out of their
province, which all seems pretty clear,

the finest coal lands in the coun-
try. The lands in question are
almost valueless today. Pinchot,
who was tanning the flames, sailed
for Europe to meet ex-President
Teddy Roosevelt en- route home
from his big game hunt in Africa.
What he told Roosevelt, only
Pinchot knows. But this was the
beginning of the break between
Taft and Roosevelt.
Although a joint congressional
committee exonerated Ballinger,
public opinion was aroused to a
high pitch. Ballinger resigned
from the Cabinet and went out to
live in Seattle. But public cri-
ticisrn weighed him down. He
Stunned the main streets of the
city, was unable to practice law,
and visibly went to seed.
Twelve years later, he asked
his cousin, Willis Ballinger, if he
would not, sometime during his
life, devote himself to careful re-
search in the Interior Department
to clear the family name.
At about the came time-1921
Assistant Secretary of the In
terror VOgelsang, a Democrat,
wrote Ballinger that although
he had come into the Depart
ment prejudiced against him.
81 feel it due myself to say that
: my experience here and the
study and investigation I have
made convince me that my inn
pressiOns were entirely wrong;
that you were an able admins
traitor and as honest in impulse
and action as any man who has
ever held the office Of Secre-
tary of the Interior; and that
in the history of the Republic
the high watermark of cruelty
and injustice to a public officer
was reached in the treatment
accorded to you"
However, even this failed to
cheer Richard Ballinger. A few
months later a newspaper was
placed in his hand reporting the
election of Clifford Pinckot as
Governor of Pennsylvania. Bal
linger read the headlines and
fell dead.

and New Decatur, Ala, then
moved to Seattle with the expan-
sion of the Northwest. He be-
came reform mayor of the city
during the Klondike gold rush and
cleaned out the red light district.
Later he codified the laws Of the
Northwest, and in 1907 Theodore
Roosevelt appointed him COM
missioner of Lands.
In 1909 Ballinger resigned as
Commissioner Of Lands, and re-
turned to Seattle to recoup his
personal fortune by practising
law. There he accepted a fee of
$3.50. from Clarence. Cunningham
of Wallace Idaho, who had APP
piled for permit to mine S.
$50 acres of government coal lana
in Alaska.
A few months later Taft APP
pointed Ballinger Secretary of
the Interior. where the Cunning
ham coal claim came under his
Jurisdiction. So Land Office In
vestigator CLAWS, supported by
Chief Forester Pinchot, went over
Ballinger's head to the PreSi-
dent with the charge that Bal
linger had been influenced, or in
effect bribed by this $3.50 fee, to
halt an investigation into the
legality Of the claims.
There is ample evidence, how
ever, that Ballinger gave in
structions as Secretary Of the
Interior that II cannot under
take to issue any order or make
any ruling in the matter because
Of the embarrassment which
would result from the fact that
I was, while not holding an Of
ficial position, called upon to ad-
wise in the matter"
Also the question of whether
the Cunningham coal claim was
valid was an extremely intricate
legal problem, which finally went
up to Attorney General wicker
sham and President Taft him
self. Both upheld the legal
opinion of Ballinger's solicitor.
CLAWS, and later Pinchot, were
dismissed from the service.
PUBLIC OPINION AROUSED
Around all this was built up the
accusation that the Taft Admin
