Washington, D. c.
The lid is off!
Four days before election the
ticker, jammed with campaign
speeches, paused long enough to
announce the strike of the Mechan-
les Educational society in 20 Detroit
plants. There hadn't been much
strike news for some time and this
item stuck out like sore thumb.
7 The reason there had not been
much strike news was not because
there were not plenty Of strikes -
three weeks before election they
were bobbing up at the rate Of 400 a
month; 10 a day were being re-
ported to coneiliators in the labor
department and that didn't include
the strikes against the decisions of
the national war labor board, itself.
\, The reason why this bulge in the
walk-out record wasn't in front Of
the reading public's nose was be-
cause both parties were taking par
ticular care not to say anything
that might look as if it were criti-
cism of a kind that would ALLEVIATE
the labor vote.
Now, as l remarked, the lid is off.
But this is only sample of what
is going to happen when Germany
collapses. Washington expects when
that otherwise happy day comes, it
will have to face the job of
damming a veritable flood of labor
problems. And that flood, many of
the insiders believe. will inundate
the labor board and probably have
the effect Of sweeping it into the
discard.
Two things badly threaten the
boards future One was the private
walkout of the AFL members who
simply announced they would not sit
in on any decisions on wage. raises
until the board had handed down
a decision on the Little Steel wage
formula. That was one blow. Any
decision on Little Steel, itself, will
be another.
The board knows it is facing a
dilemma on that subject.
Although decision in favor of
Little Steel Chat is, breaking the
wage ceiling and giving the steel
workers an increase to meet what
the unions declare is rise in the
standard of living) would satisfy the
steel workers it would start whole
series of demands for increases in
other fields.
If, on the other hand, the board
refused to adjust the Little Steel
formula upward, it would have to
face strike in the great steel in
dustry.
That dilemma is gruesorne enough
but not too far away is another
problem which viii arise when Ger
many collapses and the govern
ment war contracts are sharply cut
back.
When this happens there are a
number of companies which are
called "Ay-by-night" by some labor
officials because their only reason
for income is from war orders and

Edgar Rawsthorne, 19-year-old son

Nogalians See
Venus At
Tip Of Moon

Nogalians Monday night saw the
planet Venus apparently clinging to
the tip of the new crescent moon.
Although appropriate at Christ
mas time, Professor Paul Jose, head
of the astronomy department at the
University of Arizona, explained
that the occurrence was no astron-
omical miracle. It occurred, he said,
when the moon, moving around the
earth, passed close to the planet
Venus. He said that the sight was
particularly awesome because of the
brilliancy of Venus, which will reach
the height of it's brilliant stage on
March 10, 1915.
A similar event may be witnessed
about GA pm. on December 20 OF
this year, Jose said, when the moon
moves close to the planet of Saturn.
However, the planet will not appear
as bright, he said. Other sections
of the country will see the same pic
ture next month, but it will not be
visible from Nogales because of the
moons position.
