COMMENT ON MEN AND THING8
By Spectator
Govornor Davey, of Ohio, speaking
to the Ohio Society of New York recently,
told of the eiTorts of the CIO
to control the industries of Ohio. To
Americans who know their country
jpul regard it as "The land of the
tree" the governor's speech is a revelation
of methods which shock and
appall us.
Let us quote from the speech:
"I speak as one who, during nearly
twenty-five years of public life has always
been friendly toward the cause
of labor In ail its just and legal aspirations.
Therefore we approached
the steel strike situation with an earlest
desire to help negotiate a seftle ent.
I here was no question of wages, or
lours, oi working conditions. It was
idmitted by both sides that all of
these factors,, were equivalent to the
lest in the Industry.
The companies advanced one argunent
which I could not answer. They
took the position that a written con-"
tract would bind them, but would not
bind the CIO leadership; and thej? referred
to the fact that in the short
time sihce General Motoffhbad signed
a contract that corporation had experienced
something like two-hundred
strikes, slt-downs, and other illegal
interruptions of work itt violation of
the signed agreement.
" When our efforts at mediation failed,
I requested the president to inter-1
rene. The strike was then about four
weeks old. -Hundreds upon hundreds
of armed reinforcements were being
brought in by the CIO from all over
that section of the country to carry
on a campaign of violence and intimidation.
In an effort to avoid bodily
barm the sheriff had to use armored
tars. On one occasion an effort was
Bade by CIO leaders to blow up hie
car with a dynamite bomb.
Some of the most vicious of the CIO
leaders are knowp communlstB. They
defied all the laws and sneered at the
[local officials. They had whole communities
in terror. A few thousand
armed pickets, mostly of the outside J
|could take possession of a great city,'
deprive its citizens of their rights-,
and liberties, flaunt the laws with impunity,
commit violence without restraint,
and terrorize all the peaceful
inhabitants. This was done in the1
name of labor, but certainly not in1
the interest pf labor. J
On Monday, June 21, the companies 1
in Youngstowu (Ohio) published ad-'
vertisements that the mills would j
open at seven o'clock Tuesday morn-'
ing. Majny thousands of workers had!
signed petitions asking for the privi-'
lege of going back to work. That was 1
tne signal ror a counter attack by the
CIO leaders. They called ,in thousands
of armed reinforcements from
all over northwestorn Ohio and west- J
em Pennsylvania. There was one '
band of two thousand from Akron
alone who attempted an armed invasion
of Youngstown. They were stopped
on the outskirts and a virtual ar-!
senal was taken from them? clubs,'
knives, guns -of all description and |
dynamite bombs. The CIO was bent
on enforcing its will at any price of1
bloodshed, terrorism and death."
The governor tells of mobilizing the
National Guard to maintain law and
order.
"The strike was ended. Nearly all
the men flocked back to work eagerly.
John L. Lewis lost that strike because
most of th$ employees were not
with him; and because when he could
no longer make use of violence, intimidation
and blood-shed his only weapons
for victory were gone.
We may rightly assume that all the
benefits which labor has secured in
its upward struggle have come thru
and under the law. America will
never tolerate a defiance of the laws,
nor the use of violence and blood-shed
to gain the selfish objectives of heartless
and selfish leaders."

Santa Claus Pays
Visit To Camden
Santa Claua came to Camden last
Friday, not with the jingle of sleigh
bells, but with the roar of an aeroplane
motor and the screech of a lire;
siren.
For a fact, the Jolly old elf
came through the Bkies in a yellow
plane piloted by Hal Foster, famous
Hying ace. Upon his arrival at . the
Woodward airport he was met by an
automobile and whisked to the city,
limits where a Are truck awaited him. I
The truck, bedecked with flags and
Vrlth siren shreiking raced through
the streets with Santa Clans seated
on the front seat gleefully jerking a
rope that caused a big gong to add
to the din. Ahead of the truck was
a motorcycle officer, who also did hi*
share in contributing to the noise by j
opening the siren on his vehicle.
All along the rdute of the buck
were scores of Children with parents
who waved gleefully at Santa Clans.
Down through the streets went the
gay equipage until the corner of
Barqad and Ratledge was reached.
We hundreds end hundreds of eh*
draft awaited with efcgbr eyes. When
SaatS Clans stepped from the truck
he was mobbed by the excited (fetfi

Winter Cover Mulch
Protection To Land
Keeping as much o! the land covered
with close growing vegetation
for as much of the time as possible
has been found in the Soil Conservation
Service areas of the Btate to be
one of the best methods of controlling
erosiob, and general farm, experience
bears this out, says County Agent y.
C. McCarley.
Summer cover crops that were left
? ? " ' f 1
on the land aro still doing a good job
of erosion control, even though the
plants are dead, the agent states. Par*
ticularly striking at this time of the
year, for example, is the cover which
a good growth of lespedeza provides.
The roots bind the soil and the dead
leaves and plants proctect the ground
against the beating action of rain and
the erosive effect of run-6*lf water.
He recommends leaving lespedeza
on the land two years wherever possible,
as this greatly increases the
value of lespedeza for the erosion
control because the laat year's growth
provides protection for the land during
-the winter, prevents, seed as well
as soil from being washed away, and
assures a, much better growth the
second year.
Mr. McCariey suggests further cutting
down cotton and corn stalks, especially
where heavy,.:. gives a good
form of mulch protcetlon in winter.
About 100 specleB of mammals now
living probably will become extinct
within 100 years. ' " "
