whose passage echoed the New Lon
don school disaster which took the
lives of many school children was de-
clared unconstitutional and void Sat-
urday because of an amendment
which exempted Houston from its
principal provisions.
* An act designed to give adequate
protection to the lives of school child-
ren should apply to all,” said the opin-
ion by Assistant Attorney C_------
E. M. DeGeuran, approved by Carlos
Ashley, first assistant to Attorney
General Grover Sellers.
The opinion held the law—passed
by the 49th Legislature—unconstitu-
tional because the section exempting
Houston from its “provisions with
teeth” makes it a local or special ’aw

titution.. he said. Senate records show

acute as prices rise and goods be-

It jvon’t do to leave labor alone the
task of getting a fair share for labor.
Laborers on one industry, you have
to remember, are customers to all
other industries. Nor can you leave
it all to government. The new deal
tried long and hard to legislate an in-
dustrial millennium into being. The
war came and swamped that effort
in a flood of activity, production and
destruction—all of it abnormal, all of
it temporary and all of it financed on
borrowed money. Now we are slowly
and uneasily drifting back to 1933.
The matter of providing a fair share
for everybody is still to be solved,

Here is one of the finest contribu-
tions on the toad to sauity that we
have read, under the heading, “Stitch
In Time." It is from the pen of Lynn
W. Landrum of the Dallas News.
He has been away in the service for
two years, having been with the
News when he volunteered for ser-
vice. Read his thoughtful advice. All
of us should folow it. He says:
Houston’s trouble with her garbage
men is a part of one big trouble that
broods over all America. Because of
that one big trouble, people who
ought to be friends are hating each
other and fighting each other. Be-
cause of that trouble, the country is
both idle and anxious tc work, well
off and desperately in need, each man
quite sure of the other fellow’s duties
and not at all sure about his own.
Here in Dallas it is against the law
for the garbage man to strike. He is
not supposed to join a union. He is a
public servant, like a judge on a
bench or a policeman on the beat
Yet, so far as the garbage man can
see, driving a garbage truck is pretty
much like driving any other truck. He
doesn't feel that he is a part of gov-
ernment. He feels like any other em-
ployee.
With that in mind and considering
also the unrest prevalent among all
salaried people, it would be good for
the City of Dallas to give thought now
tc- what the garbage man thinks
about, what he has on his table to
eat, and how good his children’s
shoes are. It is illegal for him to
picket the city hall. But it is good
sense to find out if his -work for all
of us gives him a square deal from
life. It will pay all of us to find out
before he finds out for himself.
Forestall Trouble.
This is not to point out that Dallas
garbage men are underpaid, unfor-
tunate or abused, as the Houston men
in the same calling claim to be. The
point is that every employer had bet-
ter get busy with a conciliation ser-
vice that conciliates! BEFORE trouble
conies. Afterward is too late. The
city is in a difficult position because
it has a fixed budget, of course. But
OPA is fixing the budget of the ordi-
nary employer, too. All employers
are in a difficult position. And it is
well to remember that the employee
is in a difficult position, too. It is
good sense to ease his difficulties be-
fore they erupt into industrial warfare
such as troubles Houston now.
We have seasonal employments in
which skilled workers are hired for
only a part of the year. Labor states-
manship looks to some means of tid-
ing over the slack season when there
is nc work. One way is to make the
employer pay double for the man who
works only half a year. That is not
good for business. But the worker
can’t stop eating merely because the
boss has no work for him. Instead of
waiting to be sandbagged into paying
double wages for the half-time work-
er. the employer of such seasonal
labor ought to concern himself about
bringing in other industries which
can use his men when he has no work
for them. Where one industry’s idle
season matches another’s busy sea-

should do the same, and have a
definite understanding which would
be carried out in fact as well as in

United States today is able to de-
mand that. A year or two hence we
might not be able to do so. Diplomacy
is outmoded—what is needed is cold
facts bluntly stated. Let us not de-
cieve ourselves that because we! want
peace we will have it without taking
steps to get it without further blood-

to decide whether youth is an asset
or a liability by sketching briefly my
i ecord thus far. I moved to McKinney
in 1940 when my father became pas>-
tor of the First Baptist Church in

School and was co-captain of the
high school football team in 1941.
Less than three weeks after Pearl
Harbor I enlisted in the Marine Corps
and was in boot camp ir. San Diego
when my high school diploma was
awarded me. In February, 1942, I was
shipped to Hawaii and served in a
guar<X company for six months. In
early September, 1942, I volunteered
as a replacement with Carlson’s Mar-
ine Raiders and went with that or-
ganization to Guadalcanal, where we
were given a Presidential Unit Cita-
tion for a thirty-day guerilla opera-
tion behind Japanese lines. Later I
was in action with that same organi-
zation during Ihe initial landings on
Bougainville. In February, 1944, I was
returned to the United States. In
March of that same year I married
Miss Dorothy Bumpass, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Bumpass of Farm-

We have the unions, the govern-

keep on having all three. But it is
time for each of them to look with

of the other two, for the problems of
each are the problems of all We

Because'the working man needs to be

In offering my candidacy for the
office of Local Representative to the
State Legislature, I ask that you, the
citizens of Collin County, pause and
consider the present condition of our
state. The problems that confront
Texas today are a part of those prob-
lems that confront our nation and
the whole world. We have just finish-
ed winning a world war, and now we
have to justify our way of life by win-
ning the peace. For Texans, that
means starting at home. Let us win
the peace in Texas that we fought for
all over the world.
Our people will probably hear the
old fight song of “States Rights” a
great deal during this year of state
elections. But this is a theme song
that will be secondary as far as
I am concerned. Admittedly a strong
advocate of State’s Rights, I main-
tain that “States Responsibilities”
should be of primary importance at
this time.
I want to work toward seeing Tex-
as assume its responsibilities to its
youth by giving them every available
opportunity to get a thorough educa-
tion, unhampered by political con-
trols. I also want to see Texas school
teachers rewarded for devoting their
lives to training our youth by being
paid a decent salary and having a
workable teacher’s retirement pro-
gram to support them after a life-
time of public service.
I want to work toward seeing Tex-
as assume the responsibility of its
debt to its old folks by providing
funds for an old age pension that will
take good care of our old folks
I want to work toward seeing Tex-
as pa> a part of its debt to its Avar

I awoke this very morning
Just before the coming dawn
xYnd I saw the grandest colors
When the Eastern lights came on.
First, I saw a deep, dark purple
Then the faintest tinge of grey;
Each a harbinger of morning
To fore-tell a new-born day.
When the plum trees were like pop-

When the peach trees’ fluffy blos-

While a dancing eye went roving

From the sweetness of japo^fbas in

Still I felt a springtime aching and a

Their floor leader, Representative
Martin of Massachusetts, proposed
to the House military committee that
“while we are now obliged to keep a

olive branch of peace with the other.”
Wants U. S- to Lead
Martin suggested that the United
States take the lead through the Uni-
ted Nations Organization, in seeking
Ihe objectives proposed in his legis-
lation. The support of Britain, Russia.
China and France, he notes, would be
reeded to make the proposal effect-
ive.
Not until armies and military
establishments have been reduced to
“a reasonable level,” he said; will the
world “be sure of peace.”
Obviously referring to the presi-

“To those who say this proposal
is impractical, I say you will not
know’ how practical it is until you try
it, and the least it can do is to test
the good faith of the world powers.

While finding out, Senator Martin
added, the United States should keep
“a STRONG ARMY, and a STRONG

WASHINGTON, Mar. 1—CIO Coun-
sel Lee Presisman testified Wedues-
’ ihat the CASE STRIKE BILL is
'new drive for a federal anti-labor
Entered at the Post Office in Mc-
Kinney, Texas, as Second-Class
Mail Matter.
The above extreme and bitter mis-
representation of the Case law shows
that the “medicine” will work, if
Congres has the courage to enact the
bill. The House has already voted it
by a big majority. The Senate may
hang it up or emasculate its main pro-
visions which call for incorporating
all unions and requiring them to be
responsible for damages or viola-
tion of contracts, All banks, railroads
and industrial corporations that deal
with unions are incorporated and are
liable for damages. The CASE LAW
ought to be passed at once and the
strikes by irresponsible C. I. O. and
A. F. L. unions would be sontrolled
and the union leaders held res-
ponsible for damage. Our country is
being disorganized and literally
butchered and bled white industrially
by political union racketeers who sell
votes to any political party they wish.
day
a “i
Gestapo.’’
Its provisions for federal court in-
junctions against voilence, he said,
boils down to this:
“The labor relations of this country
are to be turned over to a FEDERAL
JUDICIARY traditionally OUT OF
SYMPATHY with the aspirations of
organized labor and to a procedure
which is the antithesis of everything
which is FAIR and DECENT.”
Pressman set forth his arguments
in a statement, on which he elabora-
ted orally to the Senate labor com-
mittee which is holding hearings on
the House-passed Case hill.
Saying the entire legislation
“seethes with an anti-labor animus,”
Pressman summed up the bill’s penal-
ties for strike violence as saying to
an employee:
“If you are engaged in a picket line
scuffle, if you do something which
does not conform to the standards of
drawing-room conduct, you are for
the rest of your life deprived of your
right to vote in a labor board elec-
tion.
“For the rest of your life, no mat-
ter where you work. you. are outside
the law. If an employer discharges
you for union activity, you are put
on a blacklist, you have no redress’.
A more PERFECT union-busting pro-
vision could scarcely be devised.”

Lack of Thinking
(Paris News)
People who are not only willing but
vociferously demanding that govern-
ment provide for their personal physi-
cal wants are. also becoming willing
for government to do their thinking.
That is to be expected, for if one is
unwilling to make some effort to
provide for one’s own physical needs,
which requires some thinking, one
can hardly be expected to do the nec-
essary thinking, which would lead to
doing.
The coming campaign, from that
of members of the Congress and gov-
ernors of the states down to the least
important elective office, will be
based largely on what the candidate
promises to do for “the Peepul” if
and when elected. Those who put out
the most premises will probably get
the most votes, because there is lack
of thought by the voters. They hear
the candidates promise, and they take
it for granted that the offers are
based on ability to do what the can-
didate promises. If the voters were
to think, they would realize that the
promises could not be carried out by
any one candidate, and that there
was such a variety of promises, some
of them directly conflicting with oth-
ers, that they could not possibly be
made good.
Voting in the coming primaries will
be largely done by people who do no
thinking for themselves. If you doubt
this, give a little attention to people
who may be in the polling place when
you go to cast a ballot. Notice how
long they ponder over marking the
ticket, and sometimes ask a compan-
ion if So-and-So is a good man to
vote for. They go to the polling places
without having thought out before-
hand the reasons why a vote should
be cast for this or that candidate.
They have let others do their think-
ing and still consider they have done
their duty as good citizens.
FORT WORTH IS BULGING with
visiting stockmen, farm boys and
girls, horse fanciers and rodeo visi-
tors for the SOth annual Southwestern
Exposition and Fat Stock Show. All
records are shattered. More stock on
exhibit, more exhibitors, indications
of more visitors. All performances of
rhe rodeo are almost a complete sell-
out already it is said. Thist year
the location of the hog show, now at
the coliseum grounds, is with the rest
of the Exposition. This will be appre-
ciated.
