THIS IS NO TIME
FOR BUCK PASSING

Members of the house of representatives
at Washington this week eheered dec
laration by Democratic Leader John ".
Mccormack that the time has come for
President Roosevelt 10 speak out IN
condemnation Of unfair labor strikes
in defense industries.
The cheers make Us wonder just a
little bit if the members Of the house
haven't skidded somewhat in their con-
cepts Of democracy. We fail TO see why
the house of representatives should wait
for the President 10 crack down on
radical labor union organizers. while the
lawmaking machinery marks time.
If ever there was a time when events
allowed of no buck passing among re-
sponsible leaders Of government. this Is
the time.
It is shameful for the representatives
of the American people 10 say to the
President. You do il. when they have
the power and the right To do It them
selves The President can exert moth
ing but moral persuasion on the labor
unions The house Of representatives.
together with the senate. can make dead
sure that there will be no more unjust
defense strikes.
And they should do il.
First and foremost, they should out
law iurisdictional strikes in defense in
dustries II would be the biggest single
step they could take TO put defense pro-
duction back on an even keel. Ii would
be the fairest thing they could do for the
people, for the defense laborers, and for
in defense industries.
There is no strike SO uniustified as
jurisdictional strike in d defense indus
try. Ii is strike which makes every
body suffer except the people who call
the strike It is strike in which is no
real dispute with the factory manage
ment Tie dispute is one purely between
two laboring factions Neither one suf-
fers greatly, even if defeated. But while
the unions are warning among them
selves, the people are deprived Of the
defense material which may prove so
vital to their very life. The employers
are deprived of their right TO operate
their equipment Innocent laborers who
want no part of the strike are deprived
of their right to work.
Jurisdictional disputes in defense in
dustries should be outlawed and only
congress can do the job. The President
cannot, and probably would not if he
could. But if the senators and represen-
tatives listen to the people who elected
them, they can and will.

ing their evening meal.
Hendrikson, it is said, objected to
serving of chicken his wife had
given him, and after many words
were passed, entered the kitchen and
seized the 16-gauge shotgun his wife
had given him as a Christmas pres
emit. In a fit of anger he is report
ed to have pressed the muzzle of the
gun to his head and pulled the trig-
ger blowing out his brains.
