gan. Henderson Supplee Jr. of
Philadelphia. president of the
country's oldest milk company,
a subsidiary of National Dairy
Products Company, voluntarily
recognized an outside union as a
bargaining agent for his en-
ployes. Although on two pre-
vious occasions, employees had
voted against the union, Supplee,
on investigation, was convinced
that a majority now wanted TO

spirit Of good industrial relations,
Supplee accepted the change

Reassurine Facts

To he sure, the defense emer-
=geHey now adds to the sefioHs-
ness of any work stoppage. But
probably the main danger Is to
our institutions and rights. 1
therefore find IL very reassuring
To reflect that the present cir
cumstances are bound to turn
public opinion against the
strikers. Moreover. the govern
ment is now forced by the de-
tense emergency to oppose these
stoppages. 1t now has ample
power TO handle any violence,
and to enforce the operation of
necessary plant facilities.
Third, most of the labor or
ganization problems we now
confront have been met and
solved by England and Canada.
We can and will benefit by their
experience. This means that
unions must he subjected 10
greater legal responsibilities and
that the use of the strike and
picketing technique must he
limited, to protect the public.
My point Is that the situa-
tion IL bad, and that we need
legislation; but that the way for
legislation Is now clear. In this
connection II Is noteworthy that
the NLRB and the Wagner Act
are now pretty thoroughly dis
credited--partly on account of
certain bad features In the law,
and partly because of bad adj
ministration. And the obvious
lack Of power possessed by the
unwieldly new ll-msn media
ton board" prevents us from

form.

About People
BY b. C. FORBES
About people:

About people:
Henry Ford has several am
bitions-as had his beloved
crony Edison.
Perhaps his most immediate
one-in addition to his esgerness
to perform a worthy part in
preparedness production--is to
devise a small airplane which
would accomplish for the popu-
larization of flying what the
model T did for the populariza-
ton of motoring.
This is not a new Ford aspira-
ton. 1t possessed him years ago.
He designed and manufactured
a tiny plane-he took me down
to his airfield at Dearborn to
watch one OF them land on the
roadway.
But when his pet young pilot
lost his life-as I recall while
flying above the sea on a SOUTH
ward trip-the kindly-hearted
motor king quit.

MOST sane men love peace
III and hate war BY the same
token. most sane men prefer
war 10 slavery. All sane men
prefer freedom TO despotism.
Right now we hear a chorus
Of voices saying ne is leading us
into war. He is President
Roosevelt. In 1898 in Chicago.
Roosevelt said, Il hate war
and called for quarantine for the
aggreSSor nations.
The answer Of the same chorus
was that he is war mongcring
and attempting 10 cover up his
domestic mistakes. According to
the chorus he is always wrong
and they are always right.
II is my opinion the future
historian will not so record II.
However. no matter what the
historian may record. we arc

in that case surely most sane
