LANSING, Jan. BIN his OPEN
ing message to the Legislature to-
day. Gov. Murray D. Van Wagner
asked the Legislature to revise the
law which requires Michigan
workers to give notice before they
can strike.
He told the lawmakers that
labor should be allowed to strike
at any time, and that the state
should not force workers to sub.
init their problems to the govern
ment mediation board before walk
ing out.
HITS AT CONFUSION
The mandatory features Of
the state mediation act should
be eliminated" he told the
House and Senate, which are
controlled by Republicans.
He asked the members to re-
write the law and erase that stat
ute which requires employees to
give 5-day notice in advance of a
strike.
He said that by careful planning
and without increasing taxation
the present state deficit of $50.
100000 can be retired in four
years.
The new governor declared that
the sic a week allowance to unern-
ployed persons should be increased.
and that factory workers laid off
should not be compelled to wait
five or six weeks for their money.
WOULD EXTEND COvERAGE
He recommended that thou.
sands OF employees not now covered
by unemployment insurance be-
cause they work in shops having
eight or less employees should be
included in the act.
With all legislators, black-robed

what are the 'infIationary tenden-
I cies which have been or may be
induced by expansion pressure on
the defense program"
Initiation can be generally and
comprehensively defined as an in
crease of the circulating medium
beyond the amount necessary for
the transaction Of the private and
public economic activities OF the
country.
What Is the harm OF Initiation
1t throws values out of their
proper relations '
1t cheapens the unit OF ex-
change-the dollar.
1t cxaggerates the prices OF
commodities.
II Is likely 10 over-stimuiate

production, and II precipitates
speculation which frequently ends
In economic disaster.
What, then, IL deflations
IL can be described as a DE-
CREASE In circulating medium
BELOW the amount necessary to
conduct properly the economic
transactions of the nation.
What Is the injury inflicted by
deflation?
We ought to know. We have
just been through a deflationary
period.
But to recite the injuries,--it
exaggerates the value of the dol
lar. and gives undue power and
opportunity TO the financial insti-

1t depreciates the values of goods

IL contracts industry. and Gre

II restricts purchasing power

Furthermore, IL precipitates
business failures through lack of
consumption and production and

IT Is obvious, therefore, that
i while initiation Is undesirable
and dangerous. deflation il equally
disastrous and Is responsible for
the recurrent periods Of economic
agony that the people are COM
PEELED to endure and which we
call depressions.
The attempt to emerge from a
period OF depression and dcfIation
and to return to a condition of
economic stability and prosperity

The latest attack occurred at

Dublin. damaging several houses
and apparently trapping a number
of residents in the wreckage.
Almost Immediately the same

it flew south. People in the
streets dashed for cover or flung
themselves to earth as they heard
the bombs whistling to the ground.
