Portland, has asked for an injunction against organized A committee representing the unorganized employees, names 11 labor unions as defendants and accuses them of conspiring to boycott and blacklist employees; charging that if the "con' spiracy continues for any length of' time, it will force the cm ployees to quit work, prevent them. from obtaining work else where, and substantial injury will be done to them."- , It is further maintained, that of "the 161 workers in the plant, 120 have joined in the action, and only 20 employees are unionized. Circuit Judge Winter, has issued an order, for the defendants to show cause why the restraining order should not be issued, the hearing to be held April 30th. WELL, well, well, 1 Assuming the facts, as stated, are correct, what will the court do about itt If the Willamctte-Hyster company can qualify, under the interstate commerce clause, then the Wagner Act will apply. But the Wagner Act, says nothing about coercion and intimi dation of workers, on the part join a union, it only mentions. the part of the EMPLOYERS, to prevent them joining a uniou, of their own choosing. Therefore this action will bring into striking relief, a serious defect in the Wagner Act, a defect which a group of senators tried to correct, when the measure was passed, but which Sena tor Wagner, supported by organized labor prevented. In other words, workers who by the Wagner Act; workers will have to look elsewhere for WHERE can they find itt The answer to this question will have to be left to the lawyers and the courts, but- the common sense view of the situation, we think, would be something like this: The cornerstone of democracy is majority rule, and freedom of the individual, under the law; is a vital corrolary. These two principles are accepted and vigorously applied, by the Wagner bill, as far as the interests of organized lubor, are concerned; but are completely. disregarded, when organized capital the rights of the employer, enter the picture. OBVIOUSLY this is wrong. It is contrary to every principle of fair play and democracy. If the employer has no right to interfere with the individual worker in joining a union, the union organizer should have no right to - interfere with the individual, in keeping out of a union. And if it is right,, in any labor group, that the majority should rule when JOINING a union is concerned, then it is also right that the majority should rule,' where NOT joining it, is the point at issue. TIUS, as we see it, is merely PRIMARY stuff. But because the time-honored conflict between labor and capital, has been so one-sided, almost exclusively a struggle oil the part of labor to. get its rights of. collective bargaining, con stantly resisted) by capital, to deny them neither the law, nor public opinion, apparently have prepared themselves for treating any case, where the traditional positions are re versed. ' Here we have NOT capital, but. LABOR, and a majority of labor in a certain plaut, renouncing its right of collective bargaining, and demanding what heretofore only the employ ers have demanded, that the. union leaders go jump in the lake, and they be allowed to work without union assistance or domination. A unique and unprecedented situation we admit. So much so, that no doubt strong labor sympathizers will be disposed to check up carefully on the facta before they abandon their suspicions, there is a capitalistic nigger in the woodpile sonic whore. - But if the essential facts ARE correct, and we sec no reason to doubt them then this case certniuly brings into sharp relief, the necessity of a completely new labor-capital orientation in this country, based on special privilege to neither side, a SQUARE DEAL TO BOTH 1 Research Makes Jobs IVJOT unemployment but increased employment is the end and the accomplishment of research. At the depth of the depression, in 1032, the common cry of the unemployed and of a large section of labor was "scrap machinery. Machines have tiiken away the jobs of the people. What good are machines that eliminate work if they eliminate jobs as wellt" In answer to this (piery, not research director of General Motors, writes in the May issue of the Review of Reviews, "If there is to be any blame attached to research and science, it should be for their lack of progress, not because they did too much. It seems strange that so few people say auythiiiK about the fact thai a scientific development may hnve much greater possibilities for labor-creating tlinu for labor saving. Everyone wishes to halt this progress, to prevent throwing more men out of work, fjobody suggests accelerating it, multiplying the work of research, aud thus creating new industries why-h will absorb thousands of these unemployed in previously non-existent jobs. "When the first automobiles were built, nobody thought thai they were the beginning of a new business, one that would cover the whole world, change the habits of people and their places of living and incidentally g"ive employment to millions. And if (he men in this business had been content with those first few curs, none of this would have come true. "I'm nnt worried about the down men thrown out of work by a new machine. That's not being heartless. It 's just that in thinking of research I think of the thousands and hundreds of thousands who w ill he employed out of that work."

Vitamin II If one consumes more tomato Juice dHlty than the amount required to furnish enough vitamin B are the excels vitamins wasted? Would too much vitamin 8 do any harm? (Miss B. MacD.) Answer It is impossible to get too much vitamin B in the form of to mato Juice. The body can store ex cels or surplus vitamin B for o few weeks, but not for long periods, not not long enough to tide over a fam ine where there la crop failure, lor Instance. In all of the voluminous literature on vitamins in recent years there hns be?n nothing to indicate that any harm can come from on excess of vitamin B, or of any other vitamin one can get from any natu ral source.

(Continued from Page One ) they should be required to take the pubic responsibility for plunging the federal treasury deeper In the hole before they are given a cent. Unless they publicly and officially do so. they should uot be "permitted to en Itch their fat toles from the federal pork barrel, merely to feed their ocal ! political machines, and make the ; president take the responsibility. j The argument actually got up to , the pitch where one presidential call er, after leaving the White House, hotly termed the existing relief set up a "racket." Apparently Mr, Roosevelt felt he j was doing something toward correc tion of the situation by cutting the govurnors-mayors' demands 25 , per cent to $1,500,000,000. At any rate, he declined to alter his message In any particular to meet congressional de mands. He likewise feels that "Roose velt luck" doe not go with nature. Every time he gets fiscally optimistic, along comes a drought, flood or somethings Those who tell his side of the story say the explanation for Speaker Bank- head's gloom after the meeting was that the president "nearly deserted" ' the farm tenant bill. They say also! that Senator Pat Harrison's dlspleas- 1 ure might bo rooted In the fact that ! his expensive federal dole for state' educational purposes did not fit In with the president's Idea of econ-1 omy either. , Not The billion dollar Wagner j housing bill also was discussed.
