Southland recently was denied y

Because Of the civil service rule

out leave, the strikers have not
been paid for the second week in
June. They struck Monday, Tues

Thursday. Friday and Saturday.
Although Atty. Gen. Herbert J.
RuShton is demanding their scalps,
and Civil Service Commissioner
Thomas J. Wilson contends the
rule is still in force, they will not
be fired.
They went back 10 work al the
request OF the governor. That in
vitation- was an implied obligation
10 save their jobs.

Van Wagner Faces
legislative Headaches
Nv FRANK MORRIS
rtme. s,as Corre.poessrt

= LANSING. June 2l.- Besieged
on one side by job-hunters, chal-
lleneed on another by striking
|, state employees. and faced with the
necessity Of vetoing or signing
troublesome legislative bills, Gov
ernor Van Wagner prepared to-
day for the most diSagreeable
week OF his political career.
His unhappy hours will start
Monday morning when a large
delegation Of Go leaders will &C
company liquor store employees 10
the Senate chamber TO demand
pay increases.
These are the employees whose
strike last week shut down liquor
distribution in Detroit. Their
complaints will be heard BY the
civil service commission, which
has absolute power over govern
ment wages.
Threaten NeU Strike
About half OF the 215 employees
from Detroit are receiving S95 q
month and most OF the rest are
paid S125, although all do the
same work. The civil service COM
mission proposes 10 establish a
minimum OF sos and maximum
Of Sis. but the workers, threat
ening 10 renew their strike, are
demanding $50 monthly.
Van Wagner would be elated
If he could make IL clear that the
new constitutional amendment
gives the civil service commission
complete control over the pay roll
and that he has no more power in
the matter than any other citizen.
But because he is the elected
chief executive OF the state, the
strikers won't be convinced.

Questions Raised

The governor appointed the
civil service commissioners. didn I
he?
They are indebted 10 him for
their Jobs. aren't they
He can make suggestions. can't
he?
These questions are being asked
by state employees, leading to a
very distressful situation in the
Capitol front office.
Van Wagner has said he does
not believe sos a month is a living
wage, particularly in Detroit. He
wants the employees TO have more
He never has believed in low
wages (as have some OF his pre-
decessors and when he was high
way commissioner. Van Wagner
hao the highest salary level of any
state department. Even then. it
was none too high.
But the theory OF the consti-
tutional amendment is that the
civil service commission shall re-
move all political influences from
the state pay roll and shall re-
gard politicians in a manner akin
TO an athena.

Buy A Defense Bond

Our COUNTRY is now engaged in the
greatest national defense program in its
history. for the purpose of defending the
United States and the Western Hemisphere
from enemy attack and invasion. 1t is a gil
gantic ask which must be accomplished in
the shortest time possible The nation needs
many thousands Of additional military and
naval planes and bombers. army tanks, trans
port and naval shops submarines, guns and
unlimited quantities of other war materials.
It takes billions Of dollars to produce these
materials for defense and this money must
come from taxation and the sale of Govern
ment bonds
The Government is now offering for sale
war savings stamps in denominations from
ten cents 70 twenty-five and fifty cents and
upward also war savings bonds of various
denominations ranging up to one thousand
dollars 1t is the duty Of every American citi-
zen to help defen dthe nation by purchasing
these war savings stamps and bonds. 1t is
not gift but an investment which pays in
terest at three per cent.
If YOU can buy a bond at present, then
purchase the small war savings stamps. Buy
one or two lO-cent stamps at a time, until you
have enough TO fill book for $3.50 Keep
on doing this until you have purchased
enough stamps TO exchange for one of the
bonds Of small denomination. BY SO doing,
you will be helping your country to defend
its liberty, and at the same time you will be
accommodating interest on your defense bonds
All Of us may not have the opportunity
to serve our nation as soldiers, air pilots, sail
ors or even as workers i'm munition plants,
but all Of US can do our bit by periodically
helping provide the money needed to build
up a strong and adequate national defense
Stamps and bonds may be purchased at
any post office

Our Duty To The Dead

IN EACH Memorial Day, the nation pays
tribute to its dead We place garlands on
the graves of our soldiers and sailors who
died in our country's defense. We also visit
the last resting places of our loved ones ~
members of our families-who have journey
ed into the land from whence no traveller re-
turns We strew their caves with flowers IN
token of the fact that our dead still live in our
memory.
1t is altogether fitting that we should
decorate the graves of our departed heroes
our friends and relatives who loved and
labored for US during their life on earth.
They We're with US yesterday, but today they
are gone, and tomorrow we who now live
shall also pass away. Memorial Day re-
minds US of this and it should likewise inspire
US to so direct our lives that when we go to
sleep beneath the sod. our friends will re-
member US with kindness when they pay
Memorial Day visits to the last resting places
of those they loved in life.
Memorial Day will be celebrated this
week. Friday, May 80. In remembering the
dead on this occasion, let us also remember
the living by driving with care and exert ev-
cry effort to avert traffic deaths, when we go
on Memorial Day motor trips this weekend,
Remember that many thousands who were
alive last Memorial Day are now resting in
cemeteries the victims of needless traffic ac-
cidents
