Civil War in America It has been 70 years since the close of the great Civil war in America, yet every so often civil disturbances flare anew which result in bloodshed. In later years most of these have been labor disputes and, for some unknown reason, the center of trouble in the northwest has been the city of Minneapolis, A year ago several persons were killed in rioting there in connection with the truckers’ strike. Now two more are shot down in a kind of strife which is as senseless as it is cruel. In Minneapolis, as in all such instances, there will be charges and counter charges as to who is to blame, but this will not bring back to life the two persons who died of wounds. In the truckers’ strike it was said by some that Communist influences had a good deal to do with the failure to reach an adjustment peacefully. Other persons, equally responsible, said that was merely a herring drawn across the trail by employers who sought to grind the last ounce of work out of their employes, cut their pay to the irreducible minimum, That fight continued until both sides were weary and more than a little heartsick about it all. The final adjustment was one which might better have been arrived at with considerable less cost than the deaths and injuries which actually re- sulted. The same thing will doubtless be true of the iron workers’ strike now in progress. Without attempting to fix the blame, it might be well to point out that labor always loses when such incidents occur. The tendency of the public, when blood runs red, is to regard the strikers as lawless and arbitrary and to withdraw support from them. When this occurs in any strike the cause of the laborer usually is doomed to defeat unless the blame for the trouble can definitely be placed upon the other party. In obtaining economic justice, labor needs the support of the populace. If its cause is a just one it usually has it and the result is to put heavy pressure upon the employer. But when strike activities go beyond the bounds of the civil law and result in a minor municipal warfare, any sympathy which might exist is cooled. Whatever else may. be said about them, the activities of labor in Minneapolis have been un- intelligent. By entering the field of force the workers have cast aside the great weapon of moral suasion which still is the greatest power in American affairs. Will They Answer? Governor Welford’s appeal that North Dakota motor- fats observe safety week by “voluntary and complete ob- servance of all traffic regulations, with the objective of weducing traffic accidents and deaths to the absolute minjmum” again raises the question “will they do it?” There is no telling what value can be placed upon ithe various safety campaigns of the past. Certainly they must have done some good. Yet the record remains a grisly one. Repeated appeals for saner and safer mo- toring have been followed by « continued rise in the toll of accidents, injuries snd deaths. Nevertheless, the cause is not hopeless. There are evidences that the barrage of safety propaganda is hav- ing pome good effects. Through newspapers, magazines, ehind the Scenes in Washington WITH RODNEY DUTCHER Eyes of Federal Employes Strained in Worry Toward Supreme Court ... Whelesale Loss of New Deal Jobs Is Feared . . . Unusual Pleasure Is Given Cotton | +. « “Brain Boys” Corcoran and Cohen to On, Washington, Sept. 13.—Policy makers of the admin- istration are worried about the U. 8, Supreme Court, of course. But to many thousands of federal employes, who are human even as you and I, the nine old justices begin to loom as so many figures of ill omen. Powerless to do anything about it, employes whose jobs are endangered by disputes as to constitutionajity of acts which created their agencies nevertheless are reacting in terms of subdued jitters and many covert efforts to obtain transfers to safer harbors. A by-product of it all is that many file clerks and stenographets to whom the Constitution was once only @ name are now so full of information about it that they feel competent to debate the interstate commerce clause and the delegation of power issue with Borah himself. The AAA, which is getting nearer and nearer the high court, has more than 6000 workers as intimately concerned with interpretations of Paragraphs 1 and 3, Section 8, Article I, as any lawyer, or even the president himself. TVA, with nearly 17,000 on the payroll, rests largely on the government's right to develop power from navi- gable streams for distribution to private users. About a hundred employes of the national labor relations board who have been hanging on inactively through the summer waiting for the new Wagner act to get in opera- tion are thinking in terms of the commerce clause. . Many Workers Affected New agencies, such as the economic survey board— which may have 20,000 or more employes some day— the Guffey act’s coal board, and the railroad retirement board must worry about the court as well as the fact that Huey Long filibustered them out of funds. Just think of what a dog’s life the staff of the jrailroad retirement board has been leading. Booted out some months ago, when the court held the first retire- ment act invalid, most of the boys and girls aimed to return when new legislation was passed to get around the court's objection. Then Huey blocked the funds and even if Roosevelt finds the money for the board, the supreme court may come along and fire the “staff” all over again. NRA stands as the local horrible example of what may happen to employes when the court speaks. Its 5200 men and women have dwindled to 2800, and a thousand more, including about 700 in the field, will be going soon because the Walsh bill providing wage-hour ged in government contracts failed in a house com- tee. ee “Brain Boys” to Fight On Those two very bright boys, Ben Cohen and Tom Corcoran, who wrote and piloted the administration’s securities, stock market, and holding com bills and were attacked as administration “lobbyists” in the house, are getting set for court attacks by utilities on the hold- ing company law. The big power company groups have announced their intention to attack and these two young lawyers know all the answers there are. Cohen could have been appointed to the SEC with a special assignment to administer regulation and dis- solution of holding companies. But he preferred to stay outside and “brain trust” on legal defense of the act. He personally approved for the job J. D. Ross, head of the successful Seattle municipal power system for many years and an expert on the power business. Although Cohen was barred by a house vote from sitting in as senate counsel with the Wheeler-Rayburn bill conferees, he and Corcoran sat in an adjoining room during every session and conferred with senators who came out to see them from time to time. They coached senate conferees before and after each session. Meanwhile, it has since leaked out, their spies were visiting the headquarters of such lobbyists as B. B. Robinson of Associated Gas & Electric and reporting what they heard. (Copyright, 1935, NEA Service, Inc.) With Other DITORS A Commonsense Procedure f (Minot Daily News) Minot has more than $1,600,000 invested in pavement. Some of it is twenty years old, and some is scarcely five. Some is in excellent condition, and some because of past neglect looks older than it is. The flush-coating work now being done on a part of the paving is maintenance work for preservation of the property owner’s investment. It is work of a nature which a city should be doing continually to protect its improvements. ; In the era of rapid growth and development preced- ing 1930 one paving improvement district after another ‘was created, and miles and miles of hard surfacing were constructed. The street was so devoted to new construction that little thought was spent on the matter of maintaining the improvements already made, and no systematic upkeep work was attempted. In fact, the present flush-coating and repairing of cracks is the first real work done in Minot in years toward conserving the expensive construction for which the property owners pledged their money. ‘There has been much loose talk among local poli- ticians and among uninformed citizens about the Minot paving. Now and then someone points to a stretch of much-worn street and shakes his head and remarks that it must have been of poor quality. What the trouble is in most instances is simply that the pavement has not received the attention which it should have in the form of systematic maintenance. It has been allowed to de- teriorate as a result of natural wear-and-tear, or as a result of carelessness in permitting property owners to make openings for water and sewer connections without proper regulation. ‘The News is glad at last to see that steps are being taken by the present administration toward keeping street surfaces in first class shape. City Manager Bliss has indicated that he intends to continue this mainte- nance and repair work as far as funds will permit and to establish s program for continued upkeep. This is what should be done, and property owners, who do that sort of thing in their private businesses as a miatter of course, will approve.

If he stays out of the social swirl, lodges in a small apart- ment, dresses economically, is care- ful about traveling expenses, and doesn’t go out of his way to enter- tain constituents, he may end his two-year term several thousand dol- lars to the good. The question is, however, how long any public official who treads this modest pathway among the great will remain a public official. Con- stituents expect a lot, and the lure of official society is strong. At din- ners and teas and such the climbing Politician meets people who can help him. in many ways. And if he at- tends such functions he is expected to return the hospitality, which runs into money. ‘That is why so many men have felt that, from the financial side, it often is a case of being damned if you do spend, and damned if you don’t. ele ‘Drink For the Boys’ One of the earliest political recol- lections of this writer concerns a county judge in Indiana, who an- nounced for congress and quit in dis- gust a week later. He said he found he was expected to buy luncheons and “set up the drinks for the boys” at a perfectly ruinous rate. Recently a senator was invited to his home state to make a speech he very much wanted to make, He wrote back that he simply could not ’ American afford to spend the $100 the trip ‘would cost. Now he is left to worry, what the refusal may have cost him in votes. It is a familiar thing in Washing- ton to find former high officials whose names once were household words, existing in near-poverty after years in the government service. Of course there are others who have formed contacts which continue to bring them a better-than-average living. Actual graft is far scarcer in poli- tics than the public seems to sup- Pose. Few public officials would put lout money to buy votes directly, and few ever have the experience of be- ing offered bribes. That would be far too dangerous even if all poli- ticlans were crooked—which they are not. I The Political Mare The late William Jennings Bryan, and some others, are credited with having made sizable fortunes out. of politics. That 4s true only with , qualifications. Most of Bryan’s money came from lectures and writings, and wise in- vestments. He had talents which could have been turned into dollars if he never touched politics al- though of course the prestige of his political career helped him to capi- talize those talents. Oftener the thing works the other way. Recently a rich man, at retire- ment. age, wondered what to.do with his remaining years. A friend said: “If you were not so ‘tight’ with your spending, I’d advise politics. But it will cost. you plenty.” The listener decided to try it. He made a cam- paign contribution. Now he is an ambassador, spending far more than his salary. Few presidents have been able to save much from the top governmen- year. .Many @ politician, high and low, and no matter how rigidly hon- est, has learned with sor- row the truth of the old saw that it is money which makes the political mare go, Statesman ™ | HORIZONTAL Answer to Previous Puzslo ments. 1,5 American [V1!
