THERE IS A LAW
(San Diego Union)

Before Congress scraps the Smith
COnnally anti-strike law, which it would
do, in effect, if it passes the national
service act, it appears that it might be
good idea to try to enforce it. Represen-
tative Smith, one of the bills authors,
yesterday charged that Philip Murray,
president of the CIO, i'm a magazine arti-
Gle, is boasting about his organizations
national 100000 fund, with which it
hopes to help elect members of Congress
who are favorable to its program.
The -COnnally law expressly pro-
hibts this sort of activity. If Mr.. Muir
ray is openly boasting of his plans to
violate or ignore it, this would appear to
be the time to have showdown.
Currently, Mr.. Smith is writing a new
anti-strike bill which would outlaw
strikes for the duration of the war. That
is the objective sought by President
Roosevelt in his national service act. The
new Smith bill appears to be much SIM
pier than the creation of a vast bureau
which control the life of every adult
citizen.
Inasmuch as there already is a law
and another in preparation, it would
appear that Mr.. ROOSevelt's no-strike
objective might be more simply achieved
by enforcing the existing measure and
adding the new one, rather than upset
ting the entire national citizenship and
economy by so broad a measure as the
national service act

And second, many Of the peoples

decide that Japan is going to be

have been fairly successful with the

plishing a great deal in the Philip

But after 1888 federal civilian
employment doubled in seven
years-from 100000 to 1000
900. And after June, 1910, it
doubled again in Is months, to
100000. Then another million
were added during the next Ia
months, to 100000. During
the last 10 years the national
population has increased by
approximately 100000, and
more than one-fourth of that

time administration to the work
of peace-"Rationing must be
continued indefinitely price

1914 bills were presented in
Congress to expand social
security, federal health and

controls, and manpower alloca-

ment for every man in military
uniform? That's the challenge of
bureaucracy today!
The total federal civilian pay
roll today equals, in manpower,
the striking force of 220 infantry
divisions in the battle field. The
total field force of the entire Nazi
military machine is estimated at
only $50 combat divisions
For the whole federal structure,
two out of every three civilian
pay rollers are men.
$475, 100000 A MONTH
The country recalls wildly that
during the period 1885 every
new government program was es-
tabliShed as an emergency en-
terpriSe TO fight the depression.
The implication was clear, often
stated officially, that the end of
the emergency would bring de-
mobilization of the costly pro-
grams. But the depression emer-
gency merged smoothly with the
greater war emergency, and now
we see the war emergency merg-
ing again with the even more
compelling emergencies of peace.
Every bureau costs money. In
1893 Uncle Sans civilian pay roll
for a month averaged about SIS
100000. But now it is S475. 900, 600
a month. exclusive of the military.
Here are some of the queer ac-
tivities and interests which make
the current picture of bureaucracy
at work and play:
Although the federal govern
ment operates the largest print
ing establishment in the world,
covering 33 acres of floor space.
it still buys outside printing at
the rate of $4,000 a day.
One copy each of a weeks
mimeographed press material
from Washington weighed as
pounds and II ounces, making
about S75 columns of type in a
standard newspaper.
DISCOVER SOAP
One war agency published a
homemaker phamphlet advising:
IF sheets are Numbered at
home, use plenty of soap and
water"
Publicity bureaus of the fed
eral government teXclusive of
the military services use S.813
cameras-movie and still-to
apprise the taxpayers of their
accomplishments and 53.717
pieces of photo processing
equipment.
A Senate committee discov-
cred at least 5000 draft defer
ments in non-war agencies.
The federal telephone bill. ex-
elusive of the military, runs
about S30.000,000 a year.
