MIRIANI SURPRISED

WLB regional chairman Louis
c. Miriam expressed surprise when
informed of the situation today
but he failed TO wave the aHtiei-
pated big stick"
He simply dictated a telegram
informing the company that the
order of yesterday is nonappeal'
able. He expressed hope that
the company would comply in the
interest of war production.
But Lester Downie. vice presi-
dent and treasurer of the COM
pany. indicated executives would
turn a deaf ear 10 this new plea
Downie said:
II see no reason why we
should change our minds about
taking back the men. They
were discharged before the
strike and not afterwards"
DOUBTS WLB AUTHORITY
Downie flatly questioned WLB
authority with these words;
II don't think the WLB has
the power or authority to force
us to rehire men not discharged
during the strike.
Remember, and this In inn
portant, the men were not dis
charged during the strike. The
strike followed their discharges.
The discharges were not made
following the strike"
Later, Clyde Mills, special WLB
representative, sent a telegram to
officials of the company asking
them to attend a special" confer
ence. in Room 1916 Penobscot
Building this afternoon. Company
officials could not be reached for
a statement.
Officials of -CIO Local TIA
were fearful, in view of the COM
pany's attitude. that there may be
new walkouts late this afternoon,
particularly in the Plymouth
plant.
OFFICIALS SUMMONED
AS the situation remained tense,
the UAW-CIO international ex-
ecutive board. meeting in Mil
waukee, summoned Harry South
well, local vice president. and Ed
Cote, local president, to explain
developments. The two men flew
to Milwaukee.
When the six committeeman ap-
peared for work this morning
they were met by plant protec-
ton men, who told them they
couldn't work. Two committee
men, Chester "Moon" Mullins,
veteran Of 20 firings. and Mickey
Mitchell got into the plant but
didn't work.

SLEIGH RIDING ENJOYED

Hurrah for the caprices of our
Rocky Mountain climate! Just as
last week. when the mercury vas
around zero and a little below,
each child who owned or who could
borrow a pair of skates HE'D himself
to the best skating arena, SO this
week as the temperature climbed
and the snow descended, the hills
found themselves the pivotal point
of social life for the younger set
Here from early in, the day until
curfew rings the thrilled voices ami
mate as the sleds 'skoot' down the
inclines. To be sure the quantity ot
snow is limited but it is increas-
ing daily It is just the right kind. :
SO say the youthful experts. Charley
Peck has showed a fine spirit when
he took the trouble to turn the wa
ter over the hillside by his home
and thus, provide grand take-of'
place.
Skiers also have taken advantage
of the snow to get out for a little
run. 1t would take too long to enum-
crate all the out door parties but
suffice it to say "a good time was
had by all" We think the facilities
for good clean out of door living
is unsurpassed IN this region.

Wise Words

What constitutes free society,"
That's timely topic today. It's an
important topic because powerful
worldwide forces are tending to
destroy mans freedom. The u. s.
Chamber of Commerce has just Is

adjustments We quote a para
graph from it that speaks wisdom.
"A free society, If it is to be free
in fact, must remain primarily ard
fundamentally a voluntary society
This means that there must be q
proper balance between control ard
consent, between regulation and
voluntary action Without regula-

and ineffectiveness; without consent
and voluntary decisions, we would

No Excuse For This

A news item in this issue tells
of the Wanton, inexcusable destruc-
ton Of property in Libby, as we'll
as making reference to the stealing
Of some chickens from Libby pep
pie. Both X. A. Klehm and Mrs
S. N. Plummer have had valuable
ornamental trees practically ruined.
OF course the stealing is the act OF
a thief II is more difficult to UNI
derstand the destruction Of prop
erty.
Such trick is mean and desplc-
able. It's evidence Of a small, jeN-
Gus and weakened spirit-if corr
mitted by an adult. It's most diff
cult to comprehend the motive that
would actuate any adult to SUCH
deed. This Wanton destruction
may be the work Of youths. If SO, it
is more easily understood There
comes. a time in the undeveloped
stage Of a youths mind when he
seems bent on laWlessness. and that
impulse is sometimes given express
sion in the thoughtless destruction
Of property. Because 1t may be tiie
work of thoughtless youths makes
it no less mean and Objectionable.
For some time there has been a
wave Of such criminality sweepine
the nation. 1t is even worse in Toe
cities. Buildings have been defaccd
The seats in expensive, modern
theatres have been slashed and
ruined. Shrubbery in parks has been
damaged
The solution, we believe, lies II
better home discipline and in q
respect inculcated in children +
minds, in the home, for other peo-
pies property Officers Of the law
can only help to curb the laWless-
ness after it breaks out It's presence
is another evidence Of today's lack
of home discipline.
