No Time to Strike!
WITH millions of men still out of work, and American in
dustry as Is whole, just emerging, weak and trembling,
from a three years illnuess, it seems incongruous that a general
labor strike should be called in the lumber mills of Klamath
Falls. ...
According to report the men want shorter hours and higher
wages, and insist upon closing the mills until their demands are
granted.
The men have been badly advised. As President Roosevelt
declared over the radio, Monday night, this is no time to strike.
Nor is it a time to profiteer. It is a time for employer and
employee to cooperate, submerge what differences they may
have, in the common purpose of bringing this country indus
trially out of its tail spin.
A STRIKE in the lumber industry is particularly inexcusable
now, when the new lumber code is being prepared, which
will establish working hours and wage scales throughout the
country. Men who now are employed, getting regular wages
even if those wages are low-should be grateful for their good
fortune, and ready to accept any decent wage scale, at least
until the terms of the new code have been agreed upon,
Such hasty and ill advised action on the part of mill workers
in Klamath Falls, can't help but react unfavorably, not only
upon them, but upon organized labor as a whole.
This is no time to rock the boat, particularly when the
storm is still blowing, and the boat is none too seaworthy. The
sooner the labor leaders in Klamath Falls call off this strike,
send the men back to work, and tell them to await the comple
tion of the lumber code, the better for all concerned.
Is Fighting Crime Futile?
D IIEGNER of Gold Hill hag a communication in today's
paper, which maintains, that direct attack upon the crime
wave is futile, because the causes of crime are imbedded deeply
in the imperfections of our social and industrial system. Elim
inate those imperfections, and crime will cease. Retain those
imperfections, crime will go on, and on.
This is a familiar argument. And of course, as every Btu
dent of sociology knows, there is something to it. Make this a
perfect world, where every person in it has his proper niche
a round peg in a round hole and organized crime would un
doubtedly largely disappear.
But the task of making this a perfeot world has been going
on for many centuries, and has to date met with rather indif
ferent success. It seems rather foolish to us, to drop direct
attacks upon organized crime, and wait patiently for the mil
lcnium. We fear there would be few law abiding citizens left
to enjoy it.
KJOR do we agree direct attacks against organized crime are
' futile. Social and economic maladjustments are certainly
more prevalent in Europe than in this country, and yet orime
is far more serious here, than over there.
In our judgment the chief reason is the difference in our
attitude toward orime, the way we, as a people look at it,
and the way we treat it in the courts.
We hear a great deal of TALK against crime, and yet when
we come down to cases, we do, as a people ROMANTICIZE it.
After the first outburst of horror at some fiendish deed, we sit.
down and let the sob sisters, and sentimentalists have full sway.
We ery out against the crime wave and oriminals, and yet
we sit idly by and let our courts go on, following a procedure,
which gives all the breaks to the criminal, and renders prompt
and certain justice practically impossible.
""PHIS newspaper is convinced the crime wave In this country
could be checked tomorrow not wiped out of course, but
GREATLY reduced if the American people would refuse to
countenance this nauseating sentimentalizing of the criminal,
on one hand ; and insist upon a
state that is the people upon an equal footing with organ
ized crime instead of forcing it continually into a game, in
which the cards are from the outset, stacked against it.
With these two major reforms, and with CONTINUED ef
fort to improve our social and industrial system, for the greater
benefit of the common man, we are confident that the battle to
wipe out organized crime, would
The Sucker Crop Never Fails
TPHERE are two sides to all questions. In a recent Colliers,

truth make it a crime to deceive investors with fake informa
tion. This is one side of the question.
The othor side is, "that a sucker is born every minute."
e e
OUR postal laws are now adequate to punish the dishonest
promoter, whether he operates in Wall Street or Podunk.
And many have been caught in the federal net, during the past
few years.
But that doesn't stop the graft, nor does it protect the future
victims. Trying to secure honesty by legislation, or to put
common sense in the head of an "easy mark", by the same
method, we regard as equally

hope as we see it, is through education. Avarice is a
deep-seated human sentiment. The slicker's desire for easy
money, and the "sucker's" desire for the same thing spring
from a common root.
In the long run both come to the same end, they find to
their sorrow that "they can't beat the game.'

IN tliis department of human frailty and perversity, we fear,
experience is the best teacher probably the ONLY on. . If
laws prevent one graft, some other will be tried. If fhe people
get wise to one flim-flam, another will be devised.
The desire to get something for nothing to get rich without
working is too elemental to be eliminated by legislation. The
only remedy aa we see it, is to keep on preaching the sins of
greed, avarice and duplicity and let Nature take ita course.

Communications
Crime Causes Are Seep
To the Editor:
Against the flooding tide of crime,
all right-minded are with you In your
efforts calculated to make lt ebb.
The theory that heavy penalties
will bring about the end desired has
been tried for centuries and haa not
yet aueceeded. Perhaps lt never will.
Some of the world's leading criminol
ogists even hold that heavy penalties
do not act materially, as a preventive.
We are told that pickpocketing in
'Merrle England" was once punished
by execution. But lt did not stop the
practice. On the contrary, such edi
fying spectacles were the occasion for
intense activity for llght-fingerlng.
One of the most disheartening facts
that comes to the student of history
is the Immense smount of energy
spent without accomplishing the re
sults Intended.
It Is now known to be due to at
tacking social problems too directly.
The more directly such problems are
grappled with, the less are the chanc
es for success. This generalization :s
well Illustrated by prohibition. People
drink too much. "Cut off the supply."
(fat chsnoe) say the drys. This Is the
direct method. Indirect causes for
boosing are not touched upon, such
ea the partial escape it gives escapee
from the reality so unbearable at
times to many, etc. Your treatment
ot crime by the direct method will
prove has proven equally Ineffective.
To paraphrase Jack London: "A crim
inal Is a criminal because somebldy
has to be a criminal." Kill oft one set
set and up pops another. Crime hta
deep causes, mostly duo to eoonomlo
bsrrlert between man and hit wants
needs, which must be reckoned
with, Is the humble opinion of
