C n TharmUy, hw 23, IMS A D I.L of the unemployed, Congress should at the I riVate JOD ver y Uaaf add another stipulation to the A btii to give private industry a break ^ hag to (}o with a tightening up —specifically a tax break—on the costs of of certification procedures. That should job training within industry, has recently on j y ^ ( j one through secret elections con- been introduced in the House of Represen- ^ted by the National Labor Relations tatives. We fihd ourselves very much Certification which is gained in agreement with the basic concept on the signatures of workers on cards which the bill appears to be based. ^ totally unsatisfactory. Investigations With very few exceptions, the govern- have ghown that at timea signatures are ment-run job-training programs have been forged or fictitious or have been obtained noted for their lack of success. And there throu?h f rau d, misrepresentation, coercion or other such methods. What is at stake here is the Right-to- to pay union dues whether he likes it or not, is it too much to ask for a sercet bal lot to make sure'the union at least has majority support?” There is nothing anti-union ip this. It would make it accurately and truly known whether any group of woricers want or do not want union representation. This is beyond cavil, a basic right, and so is the ..aut£! are several factors which would seem to guarantee that job-training by private in dustry will be more effective and also more economical. There’s the experience factor for one thing; private industry has been giving job training in one way or another ever since the first master craftsman took on his first apprentice. There’s a more defi nite purpose in a private industry’s train ing program, and an interest in high-qual ity training, because a company knows just right of choice to join or not join, what skills its workers need. It wants to be sure that the trainee can do work that will meet company standards. About the only way a government-run job-training program can readily, measure its perform ance is by the number of people pushed through the course. The number of train ees, rather than the quality of training, happens also to be the basis in a govern ment program for hiring additional in structors and raising the pay of the direc tor. Although this new bill to encourage job training in private industry was introduced by a group of Republican Congressmen, it doesn’t strike us as being in any sense a partisan proposal (except, perhaps, to someone with a political prejudice against private enterprise). We’re confident that, given the chance, private industry will do far better at job training than any govern ment agency has done or can do, for the simple reason that a private employer wants to train a man to do a job, not just to get one. It’s been our observation that the man wants to train a man to do a job, not just about where to get one. Notice Apparently General Wessin, late of the Dominican Republic, just didn’t get the message. He declined Uncle Sam’s offer of $50,000 for his house and a vacant lot in Santo Domingo, as much as to say that he intended to go on living there. So what happened? He was evicted by Uncle Sam’s agents who, it turned out, weren’t real es tate agents interested in houses and lots, but US State Department and CIA agents who, the general should have known, are more interested in coups and plots. With the anti-Communist General Wes sin out of the country, the way now seems clear for Juan Bosch and his various Marx ist entourage to set themselves up in power Babson’s Point of View On Mississippi River’s Unknown Discoveries By ROGER W. BABSON Babson Park, Mass., September 23—Every place and everything has its advantages and Its disadvantiges. Many tmies we have been asked where are the best places to live in the United States. Among favored spots we have mentioned is Baton Rouge. Louisiana. Yet it was only a few days ago that the latest hurricane wreaked tremendous losses on the people of New Orleans. New Orleans is only a few miles from Baton. Rouge. Certainly this must look peculiar to the many people to whom we have mentioned fa- vorabily the city of Baton Rouge. However, we still firmly believe in that city. DO NOT OVERLOOK THE VALUE OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER The greatest drainage area in the United States is along the Mississippi River. Three- quarters of the rain which falls on the U. S. brings something of value to the states of Lou isiana and Mississippi and adjoining territory. The Mississippi brings down to the Gulf of Mexico the best loam in the United States. This loam has made a most valuable soil, which is now being developed by thousands of citizens whose ancestors settled on this peninsula. First they cut down the woodland and then they re drained lands hat were suitable for farming. And the richest land in the United States is be tween Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Yet in reading about the latest hurricane "Betsy”, a person might think that this section of the Unfed States would be a dangerous place to invest mon ey. We believe this would be a distorted point of view. Most people invest only in what they see. Although this is a trait that all of us have to a certain extent, it unfortunately means that too many will discover only what’s In the headlines. This is especially true today concerning what is coming down the Mississippi River every day and every night. The most valuable soils in the whole nation—being washed down the Mississip pi River—contain certain minerals and chemicals which have still undiscovered powers for nour ishing and revitalizing the human body. Millions of people may one day be strengthened by this now untapped wealth. GREATEST DISCOVERIES YET TO COME flahaal DiaMet SB Sdbtl Lifti Mttu Weak at Sept fl-Oet I MONDAY Byers of Saluda, N. C.

C. — 833-0969 Hackneyed In Medieval Engird, large magnificent horses were trained to he ridden id battle. The smaller ones were called “hackneys,” from Hackney, a place in Middle sex. Since they were not of the size or quality to be war horses, the hackneys did ordinary work such as pulling carriages or other conveyances. The horses that pulled the carriages generally wore out fast, therefore “hackney also acquired the meaning of “a worn-out horse.” Next, the name was applied to any hired drudge, especially in the field of writing—and from hackney came the adjective “hackneyed,” meaning trite or worn out.

A Bask Right The battle to save section 14(b) of the taft-Hartley Act—the section which au thorizes states to pass Right-to-Work laws forbidding compulsory union membership as a condition of employment—has not been lost, even though repeal has passed the House. Every legitimate effort is be ing made to save this protection of the worker in the Senate. At the same time, if 14(b) is repealed and workers can be forced to join and pay dues to a union or join the hungry ranks Vote.

WHAT WE LEARNED AT COLLEGE We learned many things when in college . . . but the principal thing was that there are more valuable resources unknown today than there are known. This could well apply to waste In the Gulf of Mexico. • ‘ - We still feel that great discoveries lie ahead for the drug companies. Even though the stocks of such concerns are very high, they surely have appeal for "the long pull”. Who knows what op portunities will be found by the drug companies that examine the components now going to waste in the Gulf of Mexico. Baton Rouge will over come the losses given by "Betsy”. It may well grow to be one of the richest and most useful cities in these United States. We advise owners of land in this part of Louisiana not to be dis couraged. Think of the way Florida has suffered in the past successive tropical storms . . . and of bow she has risen each time to new heights of prosperity. OFFICE SUPPLIED CHRONICLE PUB. CO.
