Will LABOR DESTROY ITSELF?

In an article in the Harvard Business Re-
view, Donald R. Richberg, the well-knoWn
lawyer and authority on labor relations, who
served in the government under the late
President Roosevelt, considered the labor
problem the nation faces today. The meat of
his analysis is found in this brief paragraph:
You ask me, Where is organized labor go
ing?-and l say that it is going to destroy
itself and the American way of life if it does
not find better guidance than it is getting to-
day from it's self-abSOrbed shOrt-sighted
leaders and the fuzzy-minded intellectuals
who call themselves liberals and friends of
labor" The nation has recently been treat
ed to some grim examples of that. Probably
the upheavalS in the soft coal industry are
the most revealing. No one can deny that coal
is absolutely vital to the maintenance of the
American economy, and to the national Sc
curlty. II production were stopped long
enough, hardly a wheel would turn in this
great country. And one man, who is dictator
OF one union with some 450, 900 member, can
say whether coal will be produced or will not
be produced. He has called strike after strike
and showdown after showdown. He has i'm
posed an arbitrary three-daY work week on
the industry, and thus taken over a basic
function of management. Most recently, by
his refusal to enter into a contract with man.
agement-a contract which would be favor
able in every particular to the miners-he
caused breakdown of the pension fund sys-
tenn, and another interruption in coal pro-
ductiOn at time when the industry should
have been preparing for heavy cOld-weather
demand. No country can long stand for this
kind of monopoly. The financial and indus
trial mOnOpOlies were broken long ago. The
union monopoly must be broken now. And
it must be broken in the interest of free labor,
as well as in the interest of all the rest of the
people,

BRITAIN'S DEVALUED MONEY

Britain's devaluatiOn of the pound has
been followed by period of Watchful-and
IN some cases, misunderstanding to see Just
what the result will be. Directly after deval-
uatiOn in the words of the Wall Street Jour-
nal, price changes for everything from Dun
hill pipes to black pepper were announced
or gOSsiped. The basic commodity markets
trembled, retailers began taking a new look
at British products they've been scOrning as
Overpriced, and even the man in the street
showed a spark of interest" Whether this
country will now be flooded with British
goods of low price and quality remains to be
seen. In some instances, such as motor cars
and chinaware, the price cuts may be very
substantially per cent or more. Other
goods-such as Scotch whiskey-are so in
fuenced by taxes and tariffs that it is doubt
full if prices to the consumer will materially
change. Raw commodity prices-wOOl, fats
and oil, and so On-Will probably decline only
moderately. The unknown factor lies in what
the attitude of the British people, and par
ticularly British labor, will be toward deval-
uatiOn and its consequences. British labor
and this is also true in varying degrees of
labor in all the Western European nations
has been growing increasingly restiVe under
conditions of strict auSterity and low pay.
Indications are that widespread demands for
wage 4ACA eases Will oOOll OC 1IlduCs GU DIS
Walter Lippmann has written, "The crucial
issue is how to reap the benefits of de-
valuation without suffering all the pains
The benefit of devaluatiOn is to become SOL
vent. But devaluatiOn in itself will not bal
ance accounts unless the painful fact is ac-
cepted or imposed that real wages must fall. 4"
If this view is cOrrect-and it is difficult to
argue against it-a critical impasSe is in the
making. If British export prices go down,
she must sell more goods to get as many dol
lars as she is earning now. She must greatly
increase production if she is to increase her
dollar credits. But, if the cost of production
goes up because of higher wages or any
other factor, she will be in the same position
as she was before devaluation-she won't
be able to sell enough as prices will again be
too high. Walter Lippmann's pessimistice
conclusion to his article is worth repeating
He wrote: "The devaluatiOn in itself is only
a relief, like lancing boil without curing the
infection. &. e. The devaluatiOn has registered
but it cannot liquidate the continuing crisis
which is the aftermath of the wars, the revo-
lutions and the disorders of this dark and
barbarOus century,"

that most bird lovers 90 not love
cats. I think a cat will destroy more
birds than mice any day SO I do
not keep one. I am afraid some of
us r too lazy or squeamish to get
a mouse trap so we leave the uH-
pleasant task for the cat whose price
is far too high for the work he pro-
duces. He is a cruel predator who
kills birds for pleasure long after
his appetite is satisfied. Nothing
makes me angrier than watching a
lazy old cat waiting under a tree
where I have placed bits of suet
and bread for the birds. More often
than not he catches the innocent
songster that is seeking food, then
tops that off with the suet and
bread that was meant for his vie
tim.
Feeding stations are easy to build
and can be made catproof. The host
or hostess will spend many happy
hours watching the small feathered
guests pecking busily at the food
put out for them.
IF your feeding project does moth
ing more than decrease the insect
population, it will be quite worth
while but I believe you will derive
more pleasure than profit from such
a project.

Meat for Reducing

IN ALL reducing diets, meat
plays an important part. Meats pro-
tein is of the highest quality, and
at the same time the caloric content
of meat is relatively low. Unless the
reducing diet includes sufficient pro-
tein, the vital functions of the body,
such as tissue repair, blood regen-
Grafton, and resistance to infectious
disease, will be affected.
Lean meat should be the hub Of
the reducing diet, around which the
meals for the day are planned. Lean
meats include steaks and chops,
roast lamb, veal and beef from
which all fat has been trimmed.
Ground beef patties, made from lean
beef, also may be included IN the
reducing diet.

Do 1t With Braid
By MARION BROWNFIELD

BRAID COMES in such a variety
of colors, widths and patterns that
it's easy to give this seasons new
style note to our wardrobe. Braid,
indeed is just as useful for making
over clothes, as trimming new ones.
So some suggestions are those below:
1. Let down a skirt for daughter
by covering the stitching with braid
USE one or more rows as necessary.
(Ric rae is smart for wash frocks.)
2. Put a false hem or fold on any
madeover frock-child or grownups.
Cover the seam OF joining of the
new hem added with braid. A con-
trasting material can be added this
way to the skirt and sleeves as well.
3. Cover any seam that has to be
contrived because of a shortage of
material. Scraps can be added on
this way and braid conceals the
'patch."
4. Give a frock that coveted long
line" by using braid in a double row
down the center front.
5. Outline the yoke Of a blouse
with braid to give that broad effect
of the popular military shoulder.
6. If a frock seems drab give a
color contrast with braid. Scarlet
on gray or black and white check,
white on navy blue or green are very
effective. Five or six rows on a skirt
give a peasant effect for a girls
wash skirt.
Z. Braid is very good for empha-
sizing a becoming neckline. Set if
in about IS of an inch from the edge.
8. If you have a short, plump arm,
and make your clothes because
"ready-mades" are too tight, add a
line of braid from the shoulder to
the wrist, on each sleeve. 1t length
ems the arm gracefully.
9. If you've made yourself a purse
of wool, rayon fabric or felt, there's
nothing like trimming it with braid
to give it a tailored effect.
10. Use braid to make either {

An Editorial

THE National Dairy Council d-
4 gests are interpretive reviews of
recent and current research relating
particularly to the Importance of
dairy products in food nutrition. The
November digest has this to say of
milk, SIN all dietaries, some foods
are important because of their
unique nutritional contribution and
cannot be replaced easily by any
other food. Milk is such a food. Milk
contributes in each of the major
aspects of nutrition: Energy, protein,
minerals and vitamins.
without milk or its products it is
almost impossible to meet daily cal
cium needs from ordinary foods.
Protein and riboflavin also are diff

Let's Protect Wild Birds
By HAZEL HAYDEN, Big Horn County

IF YOU ARE a lover of wild birds
you already know the feeling of
satisfaction and honest pleasure you
get from giving them a helping
hand during the hard winter
months, and if you are just a casual
observer of the courageous birds
that stay with us in the north all
winter you have pleasure in store
for you if you provide a meal for
them now and then.
Chickadees and downy woodpeck-
ers become very tame if food is put
out for them close to the house. In
fact, the chickadee will take food
out of the hand after he learns there
is nothing to fear.
A bacon rind tackled inside out on
a post will keep them busy and
happy for a long time and it gives
the donor a very nice feeling to
watch them working so diligently
on a meal he has provided.
Food Attracts
One winter I kept food in the
garden every day for the birds and
when spring came it seemed to me
that the few winter birds that were
still there attracted dozens of migra-
tory birds. I was repaid many times
over for my small effort by the
large number of insects they con-
sumed. In the early spring norm
ings I could count a dozen different
kinds of birds in the garden and
many became so bold that 1 learned
what they were though they had
been unfamiliar to me before. A
good book on wild birds is a neces-
sity for identifying them and, oil
course, should be well illustrated
A flock of cedar waxwings Oh
Bohemian grosbeaks is one of the
most beautiful sights I've eve seen
though I have never seen either OF
them feeding on food that I put out
If proper nesting places are pro-
vided, some of the winter bird:
might change their minds abour
leaving and become year round
guests. A followed out piece of los
with an entrance about liz inche;
in diameter makes a perfect home
for a downy woodpecker.

gave prizes every spring for thu
best bird houses her pupils bull
and the interest she aroused in thu
children in the preservation of will
birds was remarkable.

Of matters discussed in the
Conference the one that would

that there was considerable

Doubtful IF Resident Comm.
Bill Viii Reach Floor
Majority Of Rules Committee
Now Opposed To Bill

Governor HASTE told mem
bers of the Municipal Council
in a conference yesterday that
there is little chance that the
bill the Virgin Is
lands to elect a resident com
missioner to serve in Congress
will be enacted by the House
of Representatives before adj
journment.
Although vigorous efforts
are being made by friends OF
the islands, it is doubtful that
the measure will be permitted
to reach the floor for a vote,
he stated, Only a minority Of
the Rules Committee which
decides which measures are to
be. considered by the House,
now favor the bill. OF the IL
members on the committee, 4
are northern Democrats, four
are southern Democrats, and
the other 4 are Republicans.
The Governor revealed that
four or possibly five Demo
Gratis are in favor of the mea-
sure, while three to four De-
mocrats are opposed. The Re-
publican members are solid
ly against the proposal.
The Governor recently APP
peared before the Rules Com
mittee to urge enactment of
the resident commissioner
measure. At the same hearing
Congressman Miller of Nebras-
ka, a bitter foe Of the islands,
appeared to oppose the bill.
Rep. Redden, chairman of the
subcommittee of PublicLands
and Rep. Crawford, ranking
Republican member on the
Committee, both urged approx
al. No vote has yet been taken
in the committee. The view
has been expressed that if al
vote is now forced, the bill will
be rejected.

Weather is Spur
To Corn Planning

With welcomed aid from the
weatherman, Union County farm
ers are now planting thousands
of acres of corn. And at the same
time, these farmers are optimisti-
cally calculating the yield per
acre that they expect to get in re-
turn for their labor.
According to Harry L. Cook,
agronomist, Farm Bureau Co
operative Association, many years
of research have shown that the
combination of an adapted hy-
brid, thick planting and adequate
food with other good cultural
practices will result in high yields
and a lower cost per bushel.
Depending upon the particular
soil, it takes $50 pounds of nitro
gen, 65 pounds of phosphoric
acid and 10 pounds of potash to
make 100 bushels of corn, Cook
claims. With this much available
to the plants and with around
$4,000 plants per acre, the farmer
can expect about 100 bushels per
acre.
Quite often a farmer feels that
he cannot afford to use adequate
fertilizer. Actually, Cook de-
