er in all this monkey business. Ac-
cording to the Department of JUS
tice opinion. no Industry Commit
tee is to have the authority to COM
pei or coerce any manufactures TO
comply with any of the OPM-
OPACS recommendations OPM-
OPACS not having that legal au-
thority either. the only compliance
with Industry Committee recon-
mendationS would be voluntary.
Using the hypothetical Radio IN

again, if any manufacturer decided
he wouldn't comply with OPM-
OPACS policies and would go ahead
and make all the portable and auto
radio sets he could sell, no one
could stop him. The catch in such
procedure, however, might be that
the government would decide not
to give the non compiler any War

They can get you coming or 60

THE NEW TRANSFERS
UNlONIzATION DRIVE

The visit of 80 Imperial Valley farm=
ers this week to Buena Park to protest
actively against unfair labor union tactics
there, and the effect of such tactics on
Imperial county residents, spotlights a
subtle change that has taken place dur
ing recent weeks in the attempt by Team
sters' Union bosses to organize Imperial
Valley labor.
Results of the change We're first pub
licly recognized when Cramer's Bakery
employees, revolving against Teamsters
Union tactics, formed their own union to
forestal the possible success of AFL
pressure applied at Cramer's plants on
the coast.
AFL picketing of the Glidden mill at
Buena Park is part of the same plan OF
operation. There is no labor dispute at
the Glidden mill, a heavy user OF lmpe-
rial Valley flax straw. In fact, the 10
employees of the plant have voted 100
per cent against joining the Teamsters
Union. Yet the picket line was establish
ed.
Why?
So that truck drivers from the valley,
going through the picket line TO unload
their cargoes at mill where no dispute
existed, could be turned back at another
plant where unionzation had been achlev-
eQ. i nus, Willlt lllS lloli-otiihi
satisfied Glidden mill employees would
unload the trucks, the same truck drivers
found difficulty being unloaded at the
Spencer Kellog plant in Long Beach.
They had passed through a picket line,
you see!
The Teamsters Union has worked out
a scheme to achieve a boycott. 1t made
little difference that the picket line
might as we'll have been thrown across
the highway in the middle of the desert;
1t was still picket line, and it provided
an excuse for embarrassing flax snip
ments from the valley.
Through the incident of Cramer's Bak-
cry organization, and the picket line at
the Glidden Mill in Buena Park, the whole
change in union organization tactics be-
comes evident.
The Teamsters Union has failed to sell
itself, on its merits, to laborers in I'M
perial county So it has stopped trying
to win over the laborers. 1t plans now
to use force. 1t is telling them they had
better join-or else!
Imperial Valley press., 1941-06-19
WAGE BARGAINING,
NEW STYLE
OVAL Street JournaD

(Wall Street JournaD
Recent instances in which labor organ
izations have demanded wage increases
before the expiration of term contracts
between employers and employees again
direct attention To the inflationary pos
sibilities of the current wage movement
1t is plain that labor as a whole is now
determined to reverse the traditional
rule that changes in wage scales lag be-
hind changes in cost of living. A large
proportion of the workers in basic IN
dustries have already obtained wage ad-
vances much greater than the rise III
living costs during the past year. Those
who have not are bent on doing as we'll
for themselves as the others have done.
1t is a natural and understandable desire.
But the abrogation of contracts still
in force according to their terms pursues
that desire to a questionable extreme. IL
one such agreement is successfully push
ed aside by one party thereto, others Will
be and soon no such agreement Will per-
nit an employer any effective control
or calculation of his production costs his
only recourse in the event OF an abrupt
rise in such costs Is TO attempt TO pass II
along to his customers. In the present
full activity of plants in most lines 1t
would be comparatively easy for the pro-
ducer to pass an important wage increase
on to the consumer. The OPACS regu-
lators may restrain but they cannot abol-
ish the influence of production cost on
prices
Wage contracts running for year OF
longer afford the employer at least some
opportunity to improve the efficiency OF
his plant or his material-buylng practlcess'
to gain sales volume or otherwise to OIL
set higher hourly labor rates. If such
contracts are to become scraps of paper
the vicious spiral in which wages and
prices pursue each other upward until
the consumer goes on strike Gf he can.
will surely begin.
Labor asserts the sanctity of its right
to collective bargaining. But what
shall be thought of collective bargalnerS
who lightly wave aside their own signed
contracts?
Imperial Valley press., 1941-06-19
WHERE BATTLES ARE FOUGHT

UOndon EcOnomist)
The conception of defensive war ls
sound; it can be no other. The concep-
ton of a waiting war is as false and as
perious as it was before Dunkirk. In
the battlefield, maybe, the democracles
must wait and hang on. In the factories,
they must sacrifice everything to war out
put or be defeated there cannot be mo-
ment's waiting The true test of their
chances in the long battle is not the bal
ance of strategical and tactical possiblll-
ties in the next few weeks or months; 1t
is the speed and scale of their moblllza-
ton of manpower and resources. That
was the lesson of Norway and Dunklrk.
1t is the lesson of Greece, and will be the
lesson of every setback that may follow.
The gallantry of outnumbered soldiers
with Inadequate support in the air makes
epic telling; but it is the tragic reflec--
tion, none the less, of the inability OF
great and rich nations to set aside every
thing else for the defense of their free
dom; and the lesson will be read in North
America and the Dominions as we'll as IN
Britain. Men are losing their lives and
peoples their independence, because other
men and women, in the Warring countries
as we'll as in fallen France, had not sur
rendered sufficient part of their stand
ard of living and way of livelihood earlier.
That is brutal, oVersimpllfled, but TACT.
Imperial Valley press., 1941-06-19
A TWO-PRONGED DRIVE
UNDER PRESSURE

The Teamsters union plan is tWo-told.
First it envisageS boycott OF snip
ments from the valley no matter who is
hurt, unless the truck driver plotting the
shipment is Teamsters Union member.
The farmer suffers.
Secondly it provides that in the case
of companies with branches here, but
with headquarters or other plants on the
coast, pressure shall be brought on the
coast to force the companies to, in turn.
force their Imperial Valley employees to
sign up. In these instances, there is no
effort made to get in touch with the
Imperial Valley laborers. Their wishes
are not considered in the slightest. All
the union wants out of them is money
an exhorbtant initiation fee plus regular
dues.
The whole thing is an indication of
the complete lack of democracy within
the Teamsters Union inner councils.
There is no majority representation Of
the workers; they are expected merely
to follow orders from the bosses, and to
pay their dues on penalty Of losing their

discussion of the possible economic
position of the United States in the
case of a Hitler victory in Europe.
Could the United States, or
could it not. compete with an econ
omy managed from Germany which
included slave populations and re-
sources throughout the whole of
economic Europe?
One side of the argument says,
no, that it would be the death of
free enterprise in the United States,
which would have to adopt totali-
tartan principles in order to do
business with the world at all. The
other says. yes, the United States,
with all its resources. efficiency,
and skill could compete with Ger
many under any circumstances.
provided it keeps prices low, de-
velops technique. and builds mill
tary strength.
A great deal of this argument is
unrealiStic in that it avoids the
central fact OF trade under the
Nazi system. That fact, and it a
new fact in the study of economics,
is the complete intermingling of
foreign policy local politics, and
economies with what used to be a
simple competitive trade matter.
