All of Us Can Help This Program
A group of approximately WO Orange business and
- professional men ^recently joined forces, set up an Indus-
trial Development committee and employed a highly
capable individual as Director of Industrial Development.
Their, motive in creating the organization was admittedly
selfish. They hope to make their own business better by
encouraging expansion among industries already here and
by bringing in new industries. They consider the
prospects for doing this good enough to pledge a rather
large sum of money annually for at least the next five
years.
The men who make'up the Industrial Development
committee are level-headed, money-wise and all-round
good businessmen. Therefore it must be assumed they
have a good thing. Large groups of successful business-
men don’t go in for somrttrtng of this kind unless they
are reasonably certain it will succeed. Thinking in ^hose
terms, the rest of us can be assured a great deal of Jjbod
will accrue to the City of Orange from their action.
All of which leads up to this: A hundred men are
bearing the burden of something which is certain to be
very beneficial to the rest of us. It is going to mean an
unending supply of good jobs and excellent wages. The
business it will bring to the service institutions will make
more secure the present jobs and pay rates of employes
in those organizations. It is going to lead to further civic
improvements, enough taxes to maintain tne present ex-
cellent school system, a higher population figure and
eventually lower taxes. '
Most of. us are extremely grateful for these prospects.
Many of us would like somehow to share in the cost of
carring on the industrial development program. How can
we do it? One thing possible with all of us is to be sure
that every dollar of our income possible isw spent right
here in Orange with the folks who are bearing the cost of
the prograrh. By keeping their volume of business high
and their profits at an encouraging level, we can help re-
pay the money they will be out on the program and assure
its continuation.
Organized labor and its leaders can play a big part in
making the program all that it should be. By retraining.
. from unreasonable demands and working conditions, by
public assurance that it intends to give a day’s work for
a day's pay and by demonstrating a sincere desire for
permanent labor peace, labor can give the new committee
one of the biggest selling points it could have in bringing
new industry here. At the same time it can help assure
itself of good steady jobs and good pay from here on out.
Possibly Inlanders haven’t’not-
iced it yet. But ask those who
live on the bolder.

Washington —■ (AP) — Pre-
sident Truman will tie on a very j
big hook lot a while. The hook j
is the labor bill.
When he gets that bill from eon- i
gress he’ll have to decide whether j
to sign it into law or try to kill j
it with a veto.
That will be one of the most' j
I important decisions of his career.
When congress came baok to
work last January, Mr. Truman
suggested it pass some mild Legis-
lation restricting labor unions.
The house went far beyond his
thinking on this subject and passed i
the most restrictive labor bill ever
passed by any house of congress.
Too Tough for Truman

to puss its own labor bill, a little
