We're Stating “FACTS” When We Say
The United Wholesale and Retail
Employees of America, which, by the
by, is the tenth largest organization |
in the CIO group, are busily engaged
in negotiations with many of the com-
mercial and chain stores in this sec-
tion of the state, relative to union
scale agreements, etc. The organization
is fast becoming a powerful unit in the
ranks of organized labor generally. It
has so far, taken no stand on legisla-
tion affecting some of these stores.
°
Which, by the by, in these dread
days (to some of the stores) of the
Patman bill, and the other bills aim-
ed at the chain stores, might help a
bit, if the tenth largest CIO union
happened to be in the same alley in
this regard as the store owners. A
satisfied employee (and union, too)
usually has the employers interests
at heart.
°
Leaders of the James Administra-
tion are discussing a proposal to sep-
arate the State Motor Police into
the former State Police and High-
way Patrol units, but retaining them
under a single command. The pro-
posal has considerable merit to it.
Major Lynn Adams will head the
state policing units, and he had
built the former stafe police up to
a high standard when he was in
command of them, and he did make
the state police a decidedly non-
polictical unit.. We hope he will con-
tinue that feature.
®
Moreover, separation would free the
State police, consisting of highly train- |
ed criminal investigators, with a record
of arrests and convictions that even
the famed G-Men must envy, from |
highway patrol work, for which they |
are not trained, and leave them free to
police the rural areas of the state. The,
Highway Patrol still would be avail-
able for road duties, which has al-
ways been its specialty. At present
both forces are thrown together and
perform all types of police duties. The
result is that former state policemen
are frequently handling traffic duties;
while former highway patrelmen are
making criminal investigations. And
while the record of both is good, a di-
vision may be best.
®
Cut in Ohio there regular h—I to
pay. The new Republican Governor,
John W. Bricker, last week dropped
1,047 workers from the state pay-
roll, and this week promises to add |
another 500 te the total. And all of |
these jobs will remain permanently
on the “closed” list. They have for
the most part, been Democrats who
were fired—but they won’t be re-
placed by Republicans, or anyone
else. Republican legislative leaders
feel badly, and they are informing
all those seeking jobs, that there is
nothing they can do about it. Brick-
er’s campaign platform contended
there were too many job holders in
Ohio, and evidently he’s “doing
something about it. Well, relief rolls
will go up in Ohio.
®
Look it up on the calendar—Last
Friday was “Friday, the Thirteenth”—
likewise it was the editor’s birthday.
Born on a “Friday, the thirteenth,” we
do somewhat believe in the “unlucky”
aspect of the day—else why would we
ever have dabbled in the country news-
paper business?
*
Passing on a couple of days, until
January 15th, came the windup of
seeing 1938 automobile license plates
displayed. This date, too, by law, is
the deadline for dog license fags,
but there are still lots of dogs run-
ning about untagged. If the dog-
catcher were to do his duty as the
law provides, and impounded, or
disposed of the unlicensed canines
on January 15th, we would have an
irate number of otherwise good cit-
izens, who would never think of
attempting to pass by on last year’s
car-linsense plates after the dead-
tine, but who don’t take so much in-
terest in the punctuality of having
their dogs protected by law. One
reason why the state always has so
much trouble with dogs, is because
they have been lenient in enforcing
the letter of the law. Along about
next spring or summer the dog law
officials will be about, and they will

Well, boys, the big show is on.
The Democrats are now on the way
out, and the Republicans are hoping
to shortly be on the way “in” to the
available jobs in the state highway
department, health department and
elsewhere. Having nothing person-
ally at stake, we'll be content to
watch. And we have already been
listening—to some Republicans who
already are sore—before the gravy
is even passed out.
*
Governor Earle has left office with
at least one major move for good, in
the regulations made on motorists, re-
ducing the maximum speed limit in |
the state to 50 miles per hour, and a'
consequent drop of 33.3 per cent in fa-
tal accidents in 1938 as compared with
1937. Some motorists may think that
50 miles per hour is too slow, but it is
fast enough. The stringent penalty of
loss of license for 90 days has hit hun-
dren of motorists—and the Governor
is to be congratulated all the more be-
cause no favoritism or “pull” has been
instrumental in letting offenders off.
*
The Pennsylvania Motor Police
have figured out that the average
person, suddenly faced by glaring
headlights is temporarily blinded for
6.7 seconds. It is also estimated that
an automobile, driving at the state’s
speed limit of 50 miles an hour,
would go between 500 and 600 feet
during the period of temparary dis-
ability—far beyond what the depart-
ment believes is the “measure of
safety.” A study of about 300 persons
frequently invelved in accidents
showed that glaring headlights blin-
ded them on an average of more
than eight seconds—meaning a car
would go more than 700 feet guided
by a persom unable to see. Thus a
headlight reform may be on the way.
®
The distance required to stop a ma-
chine at fifty miles an hour, police
records say, is 243 feet. Tests are made
with a machine that flashes a sudden
light into the eyes of the human ‘“gui-
nea pig”, then confronts him with the
figure of a pedestrian. When the per-
son in the chair actually sees the hu-
| man form, the test is over. Authorities
look to the tests as the harbinger of
new regulations for headlights, of
, which it is believed certain types now
| cause a major portion of pedestrian fa-
talities in the larger cities.
®
The average young man and wo-
man don’t need any instructions as
to what course to follow to get tied
up in matrimony, but this great state
of ours thinks that lots of assistance
is needed when the honeymoon is
over—so now we have announced a
course on mariage and its problems
to be offered down at Penn State
College next year.
°
Dr. Kingsley Davis, of the Division
of sociology, will be the chief instruc-
tor in the matrimonial class, which will
be answered in a course limited to
seniors and juniors. Among other
things, students will be given pointers
on how to manage a family budget;
emotional aspects of material adjust-
ment;' the relation between courtship
adjustment and adjustment after mar-
riage; the cost of children, and the
parents’ duties in rearing children.
A JUMBLE
Whoever tries to get a piece of legis-
lation through the present session of
the state senate will find his job cut
out for him. This will apply whether
the lobbyist—and all persons who seek
to push or block legislation essential-
ly are lobbyists—be it Governor Ar-
thur H. James, a member of the sen-
ate, an oil stock promoter, a banker,
a communist, or a labor unionist. The
Senate gave a demonstration of what
may happen on the day it organized—
and the situation hasn't cleared any
since. The senate really is divided in-
to more blocks than two. Before the
session is well advanced there may be
half a dozen. The line-ups are not at
all likely to hold from day to day, and
perhaps not even from hour to hour.
There will be political factions, ec-
onomic factions, Administration and
warn lots of folks they are coming.
Even at that late date there will be
some who have not yet put a 1939
tag on their camines.
°
Since it's licenses we're talking of,
arti-Administration factions, factions
based on personal likes and dislikes,
even factions developed by trading.
The political philosophies and the
methods of operating run the full ga-
mut in this session of the senate.
