Why We Have Date in so

dispute, time is OF the very essence
of the situation. Since the reserves
OF the worker are in nearly all
cases less than those OF an en-
ploycr. workers case grows weaker
with time Tie him up for period
and he loses ground.
These are some OF the reasons
why think we should not embrace
the delusive shortcuts OF the in
junction process and that we should
stick i'll these cases to administra-
tive procedures. To do otherwise
would be. indeed, to reverse one
OF the reasons why the Administra-
tive Procedures Act was passed,
namely that the parties should have
a fair chance To refute the charges
made against them.
(S) Another Objectionable fea-
ture Of Senator Taft's amendment is
the rewritten. but legally un-
changed. section from she Taft
Hartley law on agency, (Section
l5). This is the section specify
ing how lar a union or employer
may be charged with liability for
the acts OF individuals, 1t is tre-
mendously important because this
clause affects the extent to which
unions can be sued for damages
and can be subjected to injunctions.
/ In this section it is provided that
in determining whether any person
is an agent OF another. "the COM
mon law rules OF agency shall be
applicable There is a ring Of
plausibility to the phrase common
law rules Of agency" 1t sounds
more reasonable than the blunt Lam
guage OF the Taft Hartley law
that the question OF whether the
specific acts performed were actual
~ authorized or subsequently rati-
lied shall not be controlling" Blu,
the effect is the same. 1t broadens
the legal liability OF unions for the
acts OF agents" lar beyond what
the law OF agency implies in other
relationships.
While the common law usually re-
quires a showing OF authorization tc
an agent ii principal is to be held
liable. the court rulings on unions
prior to 1882 minimzed this require
ment OF authorization. Unauthor-
lied acts OF non-members or even oil
provocateurs were sometimes helC
to provide grounds for injunctions

Burn Now,
 Forester Urges

Right now is the ideal time to burn off the dry grass on fields and around buildings, it was a1l- nounced this week by Roger R. Robinson of the Alaska Fire Control Service. The next few days will be the safest time to do that burning, the forester stated.
 MT. Robinson said burning now was an actual fire proven tion measure later in the season, since green grass will soon grow in the burned area to form a safety zone around buildings and homes.
 The forester pointed out that the last legislature had passed laws fixing more rigid control over land burning. It is now a misdemeanor for anyone to leave a fire unattended during the fire season, on either pri- vate or public lands.
 It also is a misdemeanor to set fires on any land during danger ous fire weather or when haz- ards exist.
 MT. Robinson said the Fire Control Service was always will ing to offer assistance to home steaders, farmers and home owners who have special burn ing problems. He urged that Valley residents call Harry Balls ley, Fire Control Aid for this area, when such problems are faced. MT. Balsley is now in resi- dence in the local Fire Guard station.

PSYCHOLOGY: Around World Series time,
a small-town baseball team took on an out
fit from the city. just before the game, the
small-towners coach told his best player. a
pitcher. to warm up - in street clothes. In
full view of the all-stars, the pitcher threw an
impressive assortment of curves. Finally.
somebody said, That's quite pitcher. Why
isn't he in uniform?" ''Oh, him?" said the
coach. He can't pitch" After that, the small
towners could have won with their second
best pitcher. In fact, they did.
