The Strike Vote

The strike vote at the Ingalls, Shipyard Wednesday was
passed by a clear cut majority of more than two to one. We
opposed the taking Of the strike vote at the plant, particularly
in view of a mediation hearing scheduled at Washington on
February II, to consider the grievances of the union, and
cannot nov reconcile to our mind the fact that 3,T74 men
and women in a vital war plant would vote the Metal Trades
Council the authority TO call them, and the 1928 who voted
against it, out on strike while our nation is engaged in a
Worldwide conflict.
Certainly no one can say what is in a mans heart
but we wonder if every man and woman who voted Wednes-
day that the Union complaints, dealing with personal welfare,
were sufficiently important TO warrant a work stoppage,
examined to the fullest extent the exterior forces influencing
the ballot.
There are always two sides to a question, and this is no
exception. We are not denying labor the right to register
complaints against management isn't that one of the things
our war is about?), and, II the complaints are just, the right
10 have them rectified. Human rights, we have always be-
lieved, are above property rights. However, the due pro-
cesses for adjusting the grievances were not used in this in
stance. 1t was a grab for power by local labor leaders, and,
unfortunately, was successful If it had been other than that,
the strike vote would have been called off in face of the
hearing scheduled for February II.
The Pascagoula Metal Trades Council now has the power
10 stop work at the Ingalls, Shipyard by calling a strike. 1t
is our hope and belief they will not resort to this power.

Advisory Group Did Fine Work

The report and recommendations of the Pascagoula Adj
visory Committee made to Mayor John r. Watts and carried
ia this issue of the Chronicle-Star and Advertiser, is a sound
study of the immediate needs of the city and if followed
through, even in part, by the city government will be a con-
siderable factor in making P~ascagoula the city it should be.
The committee was named by Mayor Watts and the
city commission to conduct a survey of Pascagoula and
report back their recommendations based on the results of
their study.
Many of the things recommended by the Committee
lave been editorially advocated by this paper for more than
two years, among them the correcting of the dangerous con-
dton created by temporary trailer parks scattered over
the city, collection of cardboard shacks, etc, which have no
sign of sanitary facilities and constitute a menace to the
health of the rest of the citizenry, the cleaning up of the
police department, and the banning of carnivals and gypsies.
There is sound reasoning to virtually every recommen-
dation made by the committee, Many of these recommen-
dations could be put into effect Immediately, and others
it would take time TO bring about. In any event the Com
nnttee is to be congratulated and its report is deserving of
careful study, consideration and action by the city govern
Inent.
incidentally, the city government, itself, is due a large
measure of congratulations for the appointment of impartial
and unbiased committees of citizens to work with it in various
phases of the city's operations, 1t is such cooperation be-
tween city government and citizens that has long been needed
IN P~ascagoua, and results of it can already be noticed.

An III Considered Act

The recent action of the state Public Service Commission
in denying the application of the Gulf Transport Company
TO extend its bus line into Jackson withholds from the people
Of Jackson county, and this section, the convenience of a d-
rect, sngle-line transportation service to the state capital
and was, we believe, an ill-considered act by members of
the Commission
The Commission denied the application by the vote of
three to two, with our own Commissioner from the Southern
District joining with the Commissioner from the Central Dis
trict in the majority vote.
The service proposed under the application is a service
badly needed by Pascagoula and Moss Point. particularly, and
due to the act of the ommission we will have to continue to
travel by the long, torturous and delaying routes now avail
able.
No need was served in the denial of the application, as
the war effort would be helped rather than hindered by the
new and speedier service and the time saved by the thousands
Of war workers in Paseagoula would more than offset any
other factor. It looks like the Commission lost sight of the
fact that the public" in its title means the public as a whole

Petty Acts Reflect Puny Thinking

The Pascagoula Metal Trades Council took upon itself
the dubious distinction of barring the press from witnessing
the count of the ballots cast in Wednesdays strike vote at
the Ingalls, Shipyard. It was a puny, petty act, reflecting
somewhat the thought processes of those involved, based on
a juvenile desire for vengeance because this paper opposed
the taking of the strike vote.
Consent to be present at the count had been obtained
from John +. Lebus, regional director of the NLRB, and the
ingalls, Company when the Union refused to grant its per-
mission. In the first place we fail to see why a representative
Of the press, and therefore the public, should have to obtain

 The bridge players of the na- tion can feel justified in ceiebrat- ing at their forthcoming Victory national championships tournament to be held at the Hotel Chelsea in Atlantic City. Dec. 1-9. Members of the American Contract Bridge League did 8 great job selling war bonds. raising funds for war causes. and creating their own war activity. War Orphan Scholarships. Inc. Thirty children will be attending college this year through scholar ships provided by this organization.
 Every tournament in the United States is behind War Orphans Scholarships, Inc. Therefore, when an expert makes a hand like the one shown today, he has a right to celebrate not only the fact that he played it well: but the fact also that he and his organization are doing their share for the orphans of our servicemen.
 The whole point involved in this hand IS entries into dummy. When decsarer finds all four trumps In the East hand, he must take what may prove a losing finesse in clubs to provide an entry to finesse East ous of the king of hearts. When the club flnesse works, the king of clubs can be overtaken with the ace and the contract made.

 The new play Is based on @ short story of the late D. II. Law- rcIAce, whose works Williams great- ly admires. The events take place in England, in lo4S, In the home of retired sea captain who lost his papers because he cracked up his ship, and has taken to drink. The household Is dominated by his mai- den sister, who Is rapidly turn. ing his daughter into an acid, loV eless character such as herself. Back from the war comes 6 foster son of the captain, who succeeds in saving the girl from this horri- tie fate.
 There is some good writing in spots and the performance of Ed. lnund Gwenn as the captain does a lot toward making the play seem better than 1t is. The comedy suf- fers from 8 mixture of moods and there are a couple of spots where you'd swear Gwenn was doing vaudeville turns rather than par- ticipating in Q play. Of themselves, they are rather amusing, but they don't mean 8 thing.
 About the only thing I can give the authors is an "A" for effort. They're smart young men with ideals and talent: they don't deal in trash. But the best of inten- tionS frequently do not jell and this is one of the occasions.
 DEEP ARE THE ROOTS" is by Arnaud d'Usseau and James Cow, the two who were so successful with Tomorrow the World" The Negro problem is their target in this new one.
 This is another one with a plot in which I cannot believe. The inten- tions are excellent. Some of the character drawing is weird.
 The story concerns the return as a battlefield hero of a Negro lieu- tenant to the Deep South home of an aging ex-Senator, where he grew up. The Senator's elder daughter has been his sponsor; she dabbled in trying to better the Negro's position in the South. He grew up with the younger daughter and she is extremely fond of him.
 It is obvious that his Army ex- perience has changed him from the suhservient type. He does nothing out of the way, but there are little changes that the Senator resents. The older daughter learns that the Negro and her sister have been out walking at night and, with her father, turns against the youth. They have him arrested on trumped-up theft charge. Tn the end he is freed, the older daughter tries to get back on the old CO., operative footing, the girl he loves leaves home to get out of an im- possible situation and the Senator continues in his unregenerate way.
