JURISDICTIONAL STRIKES.
Wo frequently rear1 cr hear news reports about strikes by members of
Labor Unl-r.s, because cf juriousfictional trouble, the Press und Rapio
play it up big &r/ one v/ ul^ think that it is the 0rcatest menace to cur
■ountry that now exists, bills arc proposer1 fur Congress to be enacted,
that wrul"1 place the offenders under strict control and probably smother
them entirely. And while there isnt any sensible defense of this problem
nothing has been done about it.
The queer thing about this agatnticn,is the fact that many ther
orginizatli ns ere just as deeply inv-lved in this practice as tl Labor
Unions, but a soft pedal is used when the tune is played about then,Why?
We have farm organizations tryingXuso the same methors empl yc l by the
Unions and a somewhat smaller cry is heard about that, but nothing is
done about that either.
Strangely a similar con*iti. n is imposed upon certain members of the
press an’ even radio, suits have boon started in cur higher.Courts in
the last few years that shows that these a.gencys are net quite perfect
eith r, but y .u dent rea ’ a great deal about it in the newspapers, or
hear much about it in Radio programs, Why?
The recent b? ttle between the American iUer1ical Association >.nr' the
Cooperative Medical and Hispital associations’ showed that practices
were use’ that looked very much like the methods used by some Unions.
Doctors were forbi-Von t 1 work on patients in Co--p. Hospitals.
Then we might mention one of the greatest offenders of all, to our
min''' anyway, pnJ that is IT.3. Governmental Bureau hem's, a continual
struggle of this kind has been going on ever since air governin' nt was
first established and it has reached a new high since the present war
started. President Roosevelt recently appointed one of the best men that
was cvilable to"rid? herd"on this problem end he says that it must stop.
7/ell,,Good Luck and Happy Landing" Jimmie Byrnes, let us know hov y 'u
come cut when the job is accomplished.
The Battle for the U.S. Forest 3 rvice by two big Governmental Agency?,
is an example of this kind, ^oes an;/ one think that it would be handle^
• ny bettor or m re oficclently by one than the other, probably not. It
ulr' nourish the Hgo of the men who are trying to wrest it fr :n its
present central an'5 build up their partarcular department, but who else
wmild rocieve any bonifit?
The people "f the Kntanuskii Valley have been through a big struggle
for juriusdiet!anal control of one f the most important agency? that
affects the Farmers hero,in the last five years, we ought to kn w what
fights f this kind accomplish and also why they arc carried n. Perhaps
it has been settle'-1,we tmpe so. But one thing that impresses us Is that
battles of this kind a reccing to help very much in our efforts to fight
the present war, but if anything is dene about it let it apply to all
of the offend „rs. alike. Dent pick out just a few and impose regulations
and restrictions that will miss the others and during the meantime let
us be careful about ju^geing the"kottleo" for being black, while so many
$ots" are just as black.
WHAT CONFUCIUS SAID.
In the last few years we have hear'’ a great many that things that the
Ireat Chinese Philosopher; Cenfucius, ’’1 "nt r,ay_. so it might be interest
ing to know some of the things that he did say, Confucius said:;
” The -superior man is Signified, but roes not wrangle, social, but not
part is in. He does net promote a man simply because of his words, n:;r does
he put good words aside because of the me9." and 550 B.C. Confucius said
” What you -’o not like when -’one to yourself <3o not r'o to others" and,
" I cm n-'t concerned that I have no place: I am concerned that I shell fit
ayself for one. I am not concerned at not being known: I seek to be worthy
'-o be kn'-'wnv Those who study, the principles of philosophy r.s oxj unded by
nfucious are learning the basis for all philosophy,ef good will.
