Norris he Peoples
Sc tor

The Tennessee Valley Authority, with its great system Of inter
locking dams and generating stations, is the mighty physical monument
to George w. Norris, the peoples senator" from Nebraska who died
Saturday. Yet there is a sense in which he made al ever ricner con-
tribution to American life. All over the country men and women once
cynical about politics and politicians gained from his career a renewal
of faith in vital American democracy. gs
It was not only what Norris did that made him great but also
the way he did it. In the face of abuse, Misrepresentation and plots
against him, from the Old Guard of his own party, he never surren-
dered his principles. He was threatened with prosecution and disgrace,
fought by such mderhanded tricks as the Grocer Norris episode
of 1890, Vilnied as a enemy" of the American system" He rode out
the storms with a contented spirit, never tagging in his zeal for the
general welfare, never doubling that his integrity adI purposes would
be understood.
The roll of his major accomplishments in a 40-year career in Con
gress is Observation-Disclosures of the House rules in a bitter duel
with Speaker Cannon; the NorrisLa Guarda anti-injuncton law; the
lame duck amendment and iva. But in all this period, whatever
the issue, Norris could be depended on for the peoples side. His
tenacity in the face of temporary defeat was the terror of his enemies.
And he grew in stature and in breadth of liberalism as he grew older
in years.
He gave a new meaning to independent progressivisn in American
politics With increasing frequency he transcribed narrow partisan
and sectional interests to speak what he felt was the truth for the whole
nation. 1t is not surprising that the nation, in the end, gave him its
trust in a unique and, special sense and that he became, as no other
senator before him, a spokesman at large for the people of the United
States of America.

The news from freed France, pouring out in exuberant abundance

Alone Matters

President Roosevelt and the Congress has been given some
valuable information by the Board of Investigation and Research. 1t is
SO valuable that all people need to know it and to understand it's i'm
phcahons. What the board has discovered after a survey of the trans
strongest unions
At first glance there's nothing startling about the boards dis
covery. Isn't that what unionists always have been saying in their
quest for new members? Make your union strong and you IAN get
better conditions"
But turn the matter around and look at it from IS many angles
as possible and one might very well get a better understanding of the
kind of society in which the human race is now functioning.
A direct view of the situation leaves n doubt that it IS power -
and power only!-that gets things fr. workers. Right doesn't figure.
Right and fellowship and justice are abstracts, useful only a. themes
for preachers sermons and rabberousers themes. It's power
wonder working poWer"-that gets the get.
Usefulness? Nix! A useful worker who is not organized is going
to get less than another of equal worth who has learned how to unite
his strength of his fellows. Not usefulness, but power determines the
weight of the pay envelope.
Training? Ask a school teacher about that. He Cor she) may i'm
press the Importance of all the conventional virtues upon their classes.
But they know that those things don't have a cash value when they
compare their checks with the earnings of strongly organized workers
School teachers have plenty of training. They lack organization and
power. Therefore, they also lack on payday.
Well, sc much for the front and two sides of the matter.
Now turn the subject all the way around and consider the boards
statement in reverse. What happens when power is lost? Ask old
cgarmaker, glasshower, a hosiery worker They know. Then wages
go down. Then living standards drop. Then the law of power works in
the other direction. Then at least a few of captalisms dupes under
stand that the social Virtues don't mean anything at all-not under
the competitive system of free" enterprise.
We wonder sometimes why there are o many individuals who
behave a though they thought that virtue is it's own reward in this
practical and power-rewarding world. Even more often We wonder
why unionHts, who understand something about the value of power
vote for an economy of private ownership and labor exploitation which
places 81 very much power in the hands of the few people who own
the jobs that even members of the strongest unions must use.

+. c. G. Surrenders to
Lords Of the Press"

Jut a little while ago-a year at the nost-a majority of the
members O. the Federal Communications Commission seemed very
much alive to the danger inherent in permitting newspapers to control
radio stations.
With great force, these gentlemen pointed out that ownership of
newspapers IS constantly being concentrated in fewer hands. In some

Two papers have a monopoly. To make matters worse, "chains' fire.

tentacles from one city to another.
To permit these newspaper monopoIes to get their grin on radio
was obviously dangerous, said progressive members of the F. C. {.
Those of u who shared that view had high hopes. At long last. we
thought we have an F. c, {. which protect the peoples interests.
We have been sadly mistaken. The F. C. C. has abandoned its
crusade" The newspaper moguls have a complete victory. In
fact, the commission is 81 anxious to get radio into the hands of the
newspapers that it is approving sales of stations without ever the form
atty of a hearing.
In that connection, some scandaous facts are developing. Clifford

that tn newspapers ar S o determined to get these radio stations while

DIESELS PUSH
COAL OFF RAILS

The diesel engine, using cheap
oil, apparently is pushing the
steam operated engine off the rail
road tracks in increasing number,
and the situation is worrying large
coal producers.
The threat is not great at this
time, but appears to be growing
and may become very serious in
the postwar period. Glass I rail
roads for years have been using
about one-fourth of all coal pro-
duced, which amounts to about
100 to 125 million tons a year.
Last April l, the Glass I rail
roads had $40 diesels on order
from manufacturers, but only 245
orders for steam engines.
A year ago there were 800 steam
engines on order and only 100 die
sells.
Economy of operation is claim
ed by the railroads for their turn
to diesels and constant improve
ment of the diesel engine by the
several large producers of this type
of locomotive is bringing operat-
ing costs down almost monthly.
Fifteen years ago, approximate
ly $1,000 steam engines were in
operation on our railroads and
only 25 diesels and $40 electric
locomotives.
BY 1899, the number of diesels
had increased to 400 and on Janu-
airy l, 1941 the number had jump
ed to approximately 1000. Just
one more year later, on January
l, 1912, this number of diesels had
mounted to 1880, and one year
after the war, the number is x
pected to be increased to $500.
Meanwhile improvements in
steam locomotives have helped

Fifth Freedom without which the

President of the UAW-CIO, told
the unions summer session here.

AS for the other two freedoms,
speech and religion, they will be
throttled if not doomed if large
masses of people are to be unem-

Declaring that so-called ''free

BEWARE CANADIAN
GOLD STOCKS"

Have you received one of those
alluring circulars from Canadian
brokers, urging you to invest your
savings in gold stocks? If you
have, throw it in the wastebasket
and keep your money.
Canada has almost unlimited ma

gold deposits, but the men who
own these rich mines are not ped

The kind of stock the high-pres-
sure statesmen are offering you is
probably not worth the paper on
which it is printed. Don't invest a
penny unless you have made a
careful investigation. Don't take
the brokers' word for anything.
United States authorities have
endeavored to reach a number of
these swindlers. AS things stand
now, they can't be extradicted, so
they r quite safe in shooting
their circulars across the border

In PEACE AS WELL AS IN WAR

A Senate committee recently held a inquiry o why nearly
100000 young men have been found mentally or physically unfit
tor military service. This "a about one-third of all who were called
up for induction National leaders in various fields appeared before the
committee and made suggestions for general health improvement.
The situation plainly calls for a national program to develop
physical fitness. This involves many things, including adequate pro-
vision for medical care, starting with the child. Other basic essentials
are decent housing and raising of wage levels to bring good living
conditions to all classes of people.
The problem is closely tied up with fitness for war and national
welfare, the American Youth Commission points out National defense
and national welfare" it says, "are fundamentally dependent upon the
development of a strong, healthy people. In the present juncture
every phase of health and physical fitness for the entire population is
deserving of most earnest attention"
1t is too bad that it took a war to reveal to us how badly the nation
is handicapped, and unnecessarily so, by the mentally and physically
unfit Let u hope that we have learned GU lesson and that it will not
be forgotten again when peace comes. One-third of the national pop
ulation below physical and mental standards is a terrible handicap in
peace IS we'll as in Wharf.-The Brewery Worker.

ACCIDENTS REPORTED
CUT IN WAR
INDUSTRIES

in industrial accidents in war
plants throughout the country of
6 per cent so far this year was re-
ported by E. G.. Q~uesnel, regional
representative of the National
Committee for the Conservation of
Manpower in War Industries.
Mr.. Quesnel, who is also general
manager of the Greater New York
Safety Council, said that a cut of
1000, 900 below last years accident
total was the aim.
In listing the reduction of 6 per
cent in accidents so far this year,
Mr.. Quesnel pointed out tina 10, 600
persons had lost their lives in in
dustry in 1913 and an additional
23,500 employees had lost their
lives outside of working hours.
