UNION * RESPONSIBILITY There'has been a great amount of press ‘comment on. national emergency strikes, largely occasioned by the most recent upheaval in the coal industry. And practically.all of it holds that one of the most se: s problems facing the country is laborsmonopoly. As an example, the Chicago Journal of Commerce ealled attention to the need for a statute ending “any labor union’s ability to monopolize the manhours of an entire basic industry.” The Washington Star said, “If the Taft-Hartiey law is in- effective, the remedy is not simply to re- peal it and-strip away even the limited protection which it affords. . . .The only real remedy lies in new and tougher legis- lation.” And the Washington Post said, “Tf unions are not responsible enough to halt a threatened disaster which they have set in motion, Congress may have to for- bid industrywide bargaining. . . .If union responsibility cannot be expanded to match bargaining power, bargaining pow- er will have to be shrunk to match union responsibility.” t The problem of labor monopal not confined to.one industry or a few 'in- dustries. The whole trend of the labor movement for many years has been to gain more and more monopolistic, unre- gulated power in every direction. The Wall Street Journal touched on this when it said, “Labor monopoly is a condition present in too many industries to be stud- ied only haphazardly as a characteristic of a gingle industrial field.” As is to be expected, there are differ- ences of opinion as to the kind of legisla- tion which would best achieve the goal. Many ‘favor bringing labor unions within the sgope of the anti-trust laws, and Sena- tor Robertson has offered a Bill to that end. ‘Others urge different remedies. But one fact is clear—Congress must end la- bor excesses. “ UNEMPLOYMENT DROPS The United States Census Bureau ad- vises the country that there were 561,000 fewer unemployed in the month of March than in Feburary. Things are picking up and Govern- ment authorities say that the end of the coal dispute has heiped the labor situation. ———_———_____ One of the pleasantest pastimes in life is makjng’plans to spend the money you may never get. LET’S HEAR BOTH SIDES In another state, a Congressman has been assailed because he mailed out, un- der franking privilege, nearly 3,000,000 pieces of literature. The Congressman. in his defense, says that he wanted to give the people of his district reliable information to offset pub- licity matter being mailed by the Govern- ment to create sentiment in favor of its program. It is qui@ possible that the franking privilege has been abused; both by Con- gressmen and by ‘officials of the Execu- tive Department, but, in the long run, every encouragement should be given tc the ‘dissemination of information abgut public issues. Even the much-abused Congressional Record has its place in the discussion of public affairs. Undoubtedly, many cop- ies of this publication are wasted but the fact remains that it is available to citizens who desire to study issues debated in Con- gress. We have read many strictures upon the Government, including Congressmen, for the propaganda that they send through the mails. We receive quite a bit of pub- licity from various governmental agen- cies. We also receive an equal volume of publicity and propaganda from vyarious associations, orgahizations and’ businesses, seeking to influence public opinjon. Nearly everybody takés the view that the propaganda sent out by “the other side” ig wrokg. Few of us object to pub- licity that comes from those who advo- cate what we think is right. Nevertheless, both sides of every issue should be presented to the people of this country and the process is thoroughly American. We believe that intelligent peo- ple will be able to distinguish between in- telligently presented facts and the unsup- ported allegations of professional or polit- ical propagandists. Western civilization, so-called, needs no trustees from the realm of other peo- ples, When you find an individual who know8 everything, give him no advice and, above all else, take none from him. WORRY MAY BE AN ENEMY “Worrying over the end of the world,” in connection with the hydrogen bomb, endangers “our national health and vital- ity.” declares former Fleet Admiral Ohester W. Nimitz, who says that “the growing hysteria, and worry-mongering,” will deprive us of the creative drive “we need to help save the world.” The chief architect of our amazing victory in the Pacific puts his finger on one of the weaknesses of the nation at the pre- sent time. There is no reason why we should fear the consequences of the hy- drogen bomb and, certainly, it presents no threat great enough to persuade us to relinquish our efforts for what we think is the right kind of a world. It may be that a hydrogen bomb, or a collection of them, will destroy human lives sometime in ‘the future. Even so, there is nothing for us to. do but to stand firm in, our faith: and take the conse- quen f we fall into a pahi¢, because uF po sible fate,.the world will “by th ‘who have the *Fesolutely. ant ‘ Humor depends largely upon whether you are the maker or the receiver of the joke. Did you ever take time to realize how good the average person is, and how anx- ious most of them re to be helpful? ‘ UNEMPLOYMENT INCREASES It is almost impossible for anybody to tmake an intelligent forecast of future economic tr@nds but it might be worth noting that in Febsiary there were more uneniployedzin t United States than in any month gince August, 1941. This co’ dition, it hauld be noted, oc- curs ba employment of 5,-953,- 000 out of r,foree, estimated at 61,- 637,000. pie ey Commerce Charles Sawyer says the increase in unempolyment was due mainly to a seasonal increase in the labor force and not to any cutback in employment. It may be that, with unemployment benefits being paid, there is an inevita- ble growth of unemployment, due partly to the tendency of individuals to seek the benefits and to the probability that statis- tics on unemployment are more acqurate than in former years. | GIANT CANDIDATE HURT IN WRECK MONDAY, APRIL 10, 1950 THE KEY WEST CITIZ: Black Jan Walks Again _ By Florence Kerrigan fc RR eee AP Newsfeatures. + dows on all three sides, withs enor shaped panes.
