HYPOCRISY Qil workers held by the National Guard in the strikebound refinery of the Mid-Continent Petroleum Corpora- tion in Oklahoma are reported to have been making their escape to join the union ranks by swimming the Arkan- sa sriver in near zero weather.

In observance of her departure to 1,700,000,000 Calls Last year, the people of Pennsylvania asked us to putthrough 1,700,000,000 Bell telephone calls! That was a big order. To fill it re- quired men and women, telephones and trucks, machines and money. Sixteen thousand men and women! Experienced people with an average of 12 years in telephone work. Led by men and women who have learned and earned their jobs by serving in the ranks, these people have an annual payroll of about $29,500,000. Telephones? Yes — 1,225,000 of them—all connected with each other and connectable with 34,000,000 other telephones all over the world. Trucks? About 1,550 motor vehi- cles. Driven by careful drivers. More than 600 Bell drivers in Penn- sylvania have over 100,000 miles of safe driving to their credit. ® Machines and money. Almost $325,000,000 invested in telephone plant in Pennsylvania. Where does the money come from? Nearly three quarters of a million people have in- vested part of their savings in Bell System securities. Right here in Pennsylvania there are 58,000 people who own stock of the American Tele- phone and Telegraph Company. And some: 12,000 Pennsylvanians own Bell Telephone bonds.

But Shaw | here we have workers who resent be- ing herded as scabs so much that they are willing to brave both troops and chilly waters to join with striking un- ionists. The whole incident lends point to the demand of the CIO for state legis- A draft bill has been sent out to | all CIO affiliates and Industrial Un- | ion Councils in the various states, bas- ed on the principle that “except where martial law is declared, the National Guard may not deprive any person of his rights and liberties under the con- stitution of the Ugited States or of the states. The bill would require public hear- ings by the Governor before the Guard is sent in, would allow the Guard to be sent in only for a fixed period and in fixed numbers, and would force the guard or the state to pay damages in any civil suit arising from its actions. Since 1877 at least one hundred wor- kers have been killed by guardsmen in labor disputes. Farmers have also suf- fered at their hands when the Guard has been sent in to break their resist- ance to greedy distributors of farm products. The union-fighting Mid-Continent Petroleum Corp. markets its products largely in farm areas. Farmers there- fore, as well as labor generally are be- ing urged to aid the oil workers in this fight for its collective bargaining rights. They may also be reasonably expected to join with labor in seeking legislation in every state to curb the use of the National Guard for strike- breaking purposes. Install Officers. Installation of newly elected officers of the Spangler fire company took place last Thursday night at a meet- ing in the fire hall. Those installed were James J. Dumm president; Dr. H. B. Denny, vice pres- ident; Edwin Farabaugh, financial secretary; Robert ‘Whalen, recording secretary; Roy Hetrick, chief, and F. J. Lehmier .treasurer. Oranges are grown on 26,000 farms in California.

German Army Recruits Circus Elephant JOBLESS INFLUX IRKS CALIFORNIA Bakersfield, Calif.—With 7,000 pen- | niless persons pouring monthly into | California—Ilargely from the prairie | states—in search of jobs which do not exist, the California Citizens’ Associa- tion has launched a state wide drive to have the federal government peti- tioned to take over the problem. “California is becoming the dump- ing ground for the poor of the nation i and something has to be done about | it,” declared the secretary of the cit- izens' association, Thomas W. McMan- ues, of Bakersfield. “These people are coming here in quest of work, hopeful of making homes, but there is no work.” i In the San Joaquin Valley where there is at times a large amount of season al work during harvesting the gathering of fruit, McManus said, now there are four men for every farm job that could be found at any time. “Instead of finding California the promised land in which to settle,” he said, said, “they are floating about from community to community with- | out work and without money.” The statewide campaign which the’ Citizens’ Association has launched has taken the form of circulating petitions asking the entire California Congress- jonal delegation to insist that the fed- eral government take care of these people in their own states. The damand also will be made that all such people be informed that gov- ernment aid only will be given at home and not after they have reached California. “If the federal government has mon- ey with which to take care of the un- employed it should be taking care of these people in their home states and not after they have become stranded in California. McManus said that he believed a great many of these people were at- tracted to California not merely in the hopes of finding work but because of the high relief standards available administration will give them imme- diate relief when they enter Califor- nia in search of farm work. “These people are overcrowding our hospitals and medical centers and ov- ercrowding our schools,” McManus said. “Our welfare agencies cannot care for them, and once they have es- tablished residence they will burden the state beyond its capacity to pay and lead to the imposition of confisca- tory taxes on property.” McManus charged that the plans of the WPA to employ these people on WPA projects without regard to their residence was a direct chalenge to the sovereignity of the state.
