Labor Legislation

Maybe you're a foreman, and you
like your job, but you wonder
what's going to happen to it.
All Americans should be interes-
ted in this: A great drive is now
under way to amend the Taft-Har-
tley law, so that it will be lawful
to unionize and regiment foremen.
1t will affect your pay, your chance
to get ahead, your security, your
independence.
The attack goes even further
than that. Actually it will affect
millions of progressive, real Amer
lean folks like you in our country.
Under the old Wagner Act, when
the dictator of the coal mines
struck out with an iron fist to un-
ionize supervisors in western PEN
nsylvania coal mines, the children
of the supervisors were made tar
gets in school. Supervisors wives
were intimidated. Their homes
were stoned while their husbands
were away at work. They were put
through a campaign of being bumu
ed when shopping in mining towns
They were telephoned at night
threatened with the acid bottle il
their supervisor husbands did MOI
join q union.
Clearly, such actions should con.
tinue to be outlawed, as they ar,
now under the Hartley law.
Labor Bosses still have a Ions
way to go to gain control of Con
gress. What seemed to be a maio-
victory last November leaves la
Dor short of the votes, it needs t,
! get acceptance of the laws i
wants.
This fact has been apparent be
hind the scenes ever since the Ell
ection. 1t now has been naile
, down by a count of votes in tn
House of Representatives. Their
! has not yet been a test of labor
strength in the Senate. But 54 @
the Senators-five more than
J majority-voted for the Taft-Hart
i ley Act in the S0th Congress.

ColnmhIa Yaller

The Interior Department Of the
Federal Government suggests that
we should apply the lessons learn
ed in the Tennessee Valley and
step-up things along the Columbia
River and its tributaries in the
Pacific Northwest. There is a deep
interest in Congress in the propo-
sails for conservation and utiliz-
alton of our natural resources.
The fact that the Northwest has
heen visited by many damaging
floods, power shortages and unem-
ployment, calls for attention to the
Columbia River Basin which suf-
fered property damage amounting
to over 500 million dollars in the
floods last Spring.
Mr. c. Girard Davidson of the
United States Department of Inter
ior told gathering in Washington
a few days ago that there is nc
longer a question about the neces.
sity of speeding up Federal actor
for the development of our natura
resources. He reminds us that Ore
gon has increased almost so pei
cent in population since 1910. AnC
ne says something-plus-must b,
done without any delay, to take ad
vantage of all resources in tn,
Pacific Northwest. OF course W,
all know that floods in the Colum
hla Valley last year inflicted ter
rible damage. The floods not onl,
washed away the land but the sam
Hoods threatened to ruin a million
dollar year salmon fishing in
dustry.

An EnnnlizatIon Pattern

There has been nationwide inter-
est in the subject of Federal aid to
education for many years. The Nat
ional Congress and the State Leg
islatures and prominent education
al leaders are advocating what
they call an Equalization Patters."
This term, however, does not
clearly describe the plan. The OBJ
jective of this plan of Federal aid
is not to make either an equal ed
ucation for all children and youth
in the country or, for that matter,
TO make possible an equal financial
expenditure. This plan provides for
a financial partnership between
the States and the Federal govern
ment in somewhat this manner:
, The Federal Government now ma
kes this proposition to the States;
that 1t is their job to manage and
control the schools so that all the
children in the United States will
be in schools in which enough
money is spent 10 provide a cert
tain minimum of education.
The system of Federal payments
as it is explained by the National
Education Association is a trans
action between the Federal Govern
ment and the States. The Federal
interest, and the objective of the
plan, is supplying funds to school,
districts now unable to secure
school funds sufficient to maintain
the minimum. There are essential.
ly three alternatives suggested fol
drafting legislation which will seel
to guarantee the proper flow O
funds to local units.

Strikes And Congressional
legislation

The strikes in automobile plants
in Detroit have undoubtedly dis
turbed Congress. The Labor Bill is
likely to be the Taft-Hartley Act,
which will carry on-even if it is
called by some other name. Mr..
Truman is in for a licking in labor
legislation.
Strikes will slow down because
more than 100000 workers are
out on jobs; and that is almost
twice as much unemployment as
there was five or six months ago
Reliable Washington, d. c. reports
that "as things stand, one worker
in ten may be job-hunting next
year" The Capital is warned thai
lay-off's by industry are increasing

Where Are We At9

Russia is carrying on its propa-
ganda and war-whoops. Those who
hope for an honest settlement at
the conferences in Paris and other
fronts are likely to be disappoin-
ted. There is no reason to believe
that Russia will give up its efforts
to prevent the United States from
bringing about q genuine peace.
The Communists aren't to be trus-
ted.
Forty thousand people marched
through the Russian sector of Ger
many carrying banners which read
Down with the Atlantic Pact"
The Soviet policy is not likely to
change over night, or in a long
time.
Apparently Germany has chang
ed under protection Of the Ameri-
can Government. Germany has al
ready become a strong part of Eu-
rope. The Western powers have oc-
cupied part of Germany that now
has a population of 67,000,00
Those Germans are competent and
skillful and have the "known-how. ."
The United States, Britain and
! France apparently have created a
new Nation in Western Germany.
They have new Government and
a Constitution of their own. Let us
hope that the Germans will apprec-
late their luck when Hitler was
bumped-off. Now if they have half
the sense they are credited with,
the German Nation will kiss Russia
goodbye and go ahead. Nobody
hetter than the people of the Unit
ed States that the German settle
ments in our own country have
succeeded under our form of Gov
ernment. Milwaukee, for instance
is one of our best governed cities.

Our NatiOnal HighMnYs

Gas taxes exist in many States
in the Union including North OAK
ota, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Mis-
souri, and others. The National
Highway Users Conference in
Washington reports this fact to
city newspapers.
Toll roads exist in New Jersey.
New York State, California. Okla
homa and other States. These high
way organizations suffer under
the delusion that if they get stories
printed about these matters in the
daily papers, that they will i'm
prove the conditions.
They have been pounding away
for a great many years and thew
haven't got to first base. They do
not discover the fact that progress
in public highways must be made
outside the metropolitan areas.
There are hundreds of thousands

Canada and the Gulf of Mexico.

Truman's Movement Is Slowing
Down

The Administration appeal for
a $4,000 100000 tax increase has
been given the cold shoulder by
Congress. One of the reasons why
the President wanted such huge
increase of taxation was explained
by him as an effort to reduce the
National debt and allow for un-
budgeted expenditures. We have Of
ten wondered whether this sort of
a national l-emotion" would be any
better than taking money out of
the right-side pocket and putting
1t into the left-side pocket Of pair
of pants.
The Administration tells us that
the budget for the present year
will be at least $4,000, 900, 900.
There is an economic down-trend.
More taxation cannot cure the trO-
uble.
The big puzzle is how labor Bos-
ses can force employers to pay
higher wages. Congress has a lot
of mathematician in the National
Capital but very few of them have
the right answers.

We Rlse To Remark

For more than 30 years this COR
respondent for your paper has
pointed out that New York and Jer-
sey City were being ruled by the
same class of political machines
that existed under Pendergast in
Kansas City. Kelly and Nash ran
Chicago. We have never hesitated
to say they were a bunch of crooks.
Therefore, we rise to cheer the
downfall of Boss Hague in Jersey
City. 1t is to be hoped that the go
cd work of cleaning up boss-ridden
cities will succeed.
