School Strife
Joseph I. Puente.

I have been alternately
amused and distressed by the
growing tempest of DR.. Han
sen versus the PTAs. It be-
comes increasingly apparent
that there is more there than
meets the eye.
First DR.. Hansen elects the
Raymond School PTA and
when asked for a bill of par
ticulars regarding his action
he declines to furnish one.
This has been pulling, for
it would seem to be to his best
interests to clarity the matter
if there were any real basis
for his arbitrary action.
But now the puzzle is
solved. DR.. Hansen is quoted
October % as saying, "the
fears and anxieties of both
parties are more imaginary
than real" So now we know:
DR.. Hansen elected the Ray
mond School PTA for reasons
more imaginary than real"
Even so, it should be
noted, his order diSfranchis-
ing the Raymond School PTA
has not been rescinded.
Also, he is quoted as say
ing, in a burst of sweetness
and light, that the public has
a right to concern itself with
matters of public education.
But does he mean it? Don't
kid yourself! Almost in the
same breath he imposes a gag
on further discussion of the
matter by saying it interferes
with proper instruction. His
words, THE more we keep
this cycle moving, the less
we accomplish towards the
education Of our children.
We fail to understand
what kind of educational
system DR.. Hansen is rum
ming, that it is put out-of-
killer by public discussion,
but in difference to our chill
dren's education, which will
suffer if we pursue the mat
ter further, we will shut upl

Labor Relations Seen at Crossroads

does not seriously inconven-
fence the employer or the
public, the strike may be toll
Grated, but as soon as it
creates a pinch, then "some-
thing ought to be done about
these conspiracies against
the public" 1t is elementary
that the purpose of a strike
is to put economic pressure
upon an employer and his
customers. If 1t becomes I'M
lawful the moment that the
employer or the customer in
ventories run short, then the
right to strike means little
indeed.
That the development of
collective bargaining in its
modern scope and form is af-
fected with a public interest
cannot be denied. 1t is very
likely that the decisions made
in collective bargaining so
much concern the public that
in some way it should partic-
ipate in those decisions. But
it should be noted that had
the steel controversy been
settled last June without the
strike, the decision would still
have concerned the public,
but the public would have
had no voice in the decision.
1t may be equally true that
our society cannot long afford
the costs of protracted eco
nomic trial by combat, but is
the answer to this problem
to circumscribe and emascu-
late the right TO strike With
out providing some other
procedure for employees to
protect their interest?
The alternative to "free
collective bargaining" that
: is, the right of either side to
submit its position to the test
of economic strength, is some
form of compulsory arbitra-
ton. 1t would be futile to re-
view the arguments pro and
con on this subject here, ex-
cept to say that such a solu-
ton would involve certain
costs especially in the form
of more extended and elabo-
rate economic controls than

Several years ago the late
Sumner Schlicter said, in re-

railroad workers had the
right to strike so long as they
refrained from exercising it.
There is strong evidence that
the problems and tensions

strike are bringing a great
number of well-meaning per-

In some quarters there is

that unions are permitted to

He implied that the steel
strike is a conspiracy against
the public and stated, quite
inaccurately, that the Sher-
man Act was directed toward
this type of primary eco
nomic action. It is rather diff
ficult to distinguish the atti-
tude and the thread of the
argument of Mr.. Lawrence
from that of the indictment,
in 1906. of the Philadelphia
Cordwainers on charges of
criminal conspiracy for strik-
ing to increase wages and to
protect their job security.
1t now appears that a new
doctrine in regard to the use
of the strike is developing:

THE POLITICAL MILL
Gov. Meyner Has Problems.
By GOULD LINCOLN

erShip, the Democrats nave
taken over the lower house
OF the Legislature, also tc-
the first time in many years.
II he helps elect a Demo-
cratic State Senate, 1t will
be another feather In his
cap.
There is no doubt that he
has had his eye on the White
House for some time-al-
though he has kept a close
mouth on the subject.
This year, the Democrats
have a chance to elect a ma
jority Of the State Senate.
Twelve Senators are to be
elected. and the present
margin Of Republican con-
troll is not great. They are
hopeful of turning the trick
but by no means sure.
Some of the experts give the
edge to the Republicans.
Popular With Republicans
Should the victory in the
State Senate race 60 to the
Democrats and Gov. Mey-
ner decided to try for
the United States Senate,
there seems little doubt he
could win the nomination.
He is greatly popular-even
with some Republicans. In
the primary he might have
to face Mayor John j.
Grogan of Hoboken, who also
is head of the shipbuilders
union. The Senator was able,
however, to bring about the
victory of Mr.. Williams over
Mr.. Grogan in the senatorial
primary in 1858.
1t would be strange If he
could not himself defeat Mr..
Grogan in a similar race next
year. Should the Governor
win the senatorial nominal
ton, he would face Republic
can Senator Clifford P. Case
who is up for reelection.
Senator Case, too, is popular
in the State. 1t might be a
stiff battle, particularly if a
Republican candidate for
President should be making
a strong run.
Since Gov. Meyner, now
serving his second term,
is not eligible to succeed him.
self, the only courses open to
him to keep himself alive
politically are to win either a
place on the Democratic ma
tional ticket or a seat in the
Senate.
There seems no doubt that
Gov. Meyner will not only
head the New Jersey delega-
ton which goes to the Demo-
cratic National Convention
in Los Angeles next July, if
he desires, or that it will be
his to do with what he wants.
In other words, he will have
a springboard, just as other
favorite-son candidates, if he
decides to make a bid for a
place on the national ticket.
The New Jersey Governor
has one weak spot in his po-
litical armor, however, if the
religious issue crops up. Such
an issue might defeat Sena-
tor John F. Kennedy Of
Massachusetts and Gov. Pat
Brown of California for a
sidential nomination.
Both are Catholics. If the
convention should turn down
Senator Kennedy, a Catholic,
it might also be reluctant to
pick Gov. Meyner for the
top place on its national
ticket-for the Governor was
reared a Catholic but later
ceased to maintain his affilia-
ton with that church.

There's a radiator
there"
This phrase, from an old
song, had been a popular
saying in the Temp Jones
family for years.
Just what it meant, or
where it came from. all had
forgotten. But every now and
then someone was sure to
sing out, There's a rad-i-
ator there!"
1t was only the other day
that Jones heard an associate
talking about old phono-
graph records, and telling
about the famous disc made
by Gallagher and Shean.
IF there's a radiator
there" one singer warned
the other, be sure not to back
into it.

The old songs seemed to
have more legitimate humor
in them, one still fancies.
The Naughty Little Bird
on Nellie'S Hat"
That was another popular
hit of the gay '90s or just a
bit after.
Old songs, as they go, car
ry with them some of the
habits of their day. This one
showed that birds were killed
at one time to adorn women's
hats.
The point of the song was
that no matter what Nellie
said, her suitors should be-
ware, for "they don't know
Nellie like I do, said the
naughty little bird on Nellie's
hat" = = =
The love song, which now
has swept the field of popu-
lar music, in the old days
was only one kind of popular
song.
There we're many kinds.
One was the basso pro-
fundo song, such as when
the Bell in the Lighthouse
Tolls Ding-Dong."
This was a famous number
of one of WaShington's bass
singers of yesteryear.
He sang it wherever he APP
peared. The audience always
expected him to sing it, and
he did.
The name and fame of the
late George O'Connor were
indistinguishably associated
with one song nobody else
ever sang, at least Temp
Jones never heard anyone
else sing it.
I'm Gone, That's ALL"
George always sang this

ocratlc 'poSSlplllJleS Tor the
1860 presidential nominal
ton are hurrying about the
country. seeking favor with
the party leaders and rank
and file, a sixth-Gov. Rob-
ert B. Meyner Of New Jer-
sey-remains at home. In
deed, little has been heard of
the handsome and popular
youthful Governor outside his
own State. There is a reason
for this. The Governor is CIV
ing his whole time and atten-
ton to the current campaign
for the election Of a Demo-
cratic State Senate.
Upon the outcome may
hang his decision whether to
run for a place on the Dem
ocratic national ticket, or
to seek election to the United
States Senate. II he succeeds
in his effort to place the
Democrats in control Of the
State Senate, he will be at
liberty to pick and choose
the course he desires. Indeed,
he might feel at liberty to
seek the Senate nomination
in the April primary and
then try his luck for a
presidential nomination in
July at the Democratic Ma
tional Convention.
On the other hand, if the
Republicans continue, after
next Tuesdays elections, to
control the State Senate, his
choice is likely to be limited
to seeking a presidential or
vice presidential nomination.
The reason for all this
lies in the fact that New
Jersey does not elect lieuten-
ant governors. If the gov
ernor leaves Office for any
reason, the president of the
State Senate becomes the
acting Governor for the
remainder of the Governors
term. Gov. Meyner's term
lasts until the end Of 1861.
If he should quit his pres
ent Office to run for the
Senate, it would mean turn
ing the State house over to
a Republican - unless the
Democrats can win control OF
the State Senate.
1t is doubtful the Demo-
cratic Governor would re-
main very popular with his
party if he deliberately gave
up the governorship to run
for Senator-even should he
be elected. On the other
hand, they might be entirely
willing to trade a Governor
for a New Jersey Democrat
in the White House. They
recall that another. New Jer-
sey Governor, Woodrow Will
son. won a presidential NOM
nation at the hands of a
Democratic National Con-
vention in 1912, when there
were as many Democratic
hopefuls striving for the
nomination as there are to-
day.
