~ RANDOM THOUGHT
We drove in to the location of the
Northern Cambria County Kiwanis
County's farm near Nicktown the oth-
er evening, and found a fine farm lo-
cation to cater to the recreational
needs of the area's boys and ' Girls.
“Camp Kiwanis” will start its camping
periods on June 25th, and they will be
more interesting than the opening sea-
son of last year, since more facilities
are provided. Showers will be installed
among other things. Tennis courts and
volleyball spaces will be available this
season. Last week the Carrolltown Boy
Scouts, through the sponsorship of
Kiwanian Fred B. Buck, cleaned up
about the premises. The farm house on
the property is used as dormory and
mess hall. Basket ball is played in the
barn. In a few years’ time Camp Ki-
wanis will ably serve a vital need for
Youth Activity in these North Cam-
bria towns.
And speaking of youth activity,
the Boy Scout movement in Cambria.
county is on the upswing. In the
county districts, outside Johnstown,
Scouting has been up and down for
a period of years. During the past.
year, however, there is a definite
trend toward permanentness among
three troops, which now are all in-
culded under the Admiral Robert.
E. Peary Council. This week end
the Scouts of the County will hold.
their second annual camporee at
the Peary Monument Grounds near.
Cresson and upwards of a thousand
Scouts’ are expected to camp there
on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
A pageant on Sunday, on the Life of.
Peary, will conclude the outing.
Barnesboro and Spangler Scouts,
defunct for some time, have been re-.
organized. Blandburg has started a.
troop; Patton shortly will again be
in line; Carrolltown and Bakerton
troops have continued through all
the “depressions”, and both will have.
an active part in the Peary pageant.
.
Prothonotary John L. Hite takes is-
sue with Attorney P. J. Little of the
Cambria County Bar Association, who
has been quoted in the press as say-
ing “some county officials are winking
at violations of the law in their own |
offices.” Hite wants to know just what
offices Attorney Little refers to. And
since the query is raised—naturally the |
general public, the citizens who elect |
officials, and who from time to time
are required to pay fees “for a little
law” to the lawyers, would like to
know as well. Perhaps the lawyers,
with Mr. Little as their mouthpiece,
don’t like the way in which some of
the officeholders pass out bits of infor-
mation which they think should be
“looked up” by an attorney for remun-
eration. If justices of the peace, al-
dermen, and the county officials are
qualified to pass opinions on law, then
what's the use of a lawyer spending
a lot of time, study and money, in get-
ting his position But perhaps these bits
of legal advice aren't really anything
serious or complicated. Maybe there are
just little tips that the lawyers {feel
would bring some money into the cash
drawer if they were given the oppor-
tunity of consultation. Perhaps the
entire business can be liked to a pa-
tient who would hurry off to the Mayo
clinic at Rochester, Minn., because a
fly bit him. We dunno!
°
But the lawyers have given lots
of ammunition to the office holders
to get a bit nearer the people. The
people always like something for
nothing and in the case of the office-
holder they rather correctly assume
that they are paying taxes to get
some information. It will be inter-
esting to note what happens—if any-
thing. Somehow or other we are of
the opinion that Prothonotary Hite
is striking the popular chord.
°
District Attorney Mayer and Assem-
blyman Rose of Johnstown, with all
politics aside, definitely are on the
right track in suggesting that the law
regarding penalties for druken drivers
should be more severe. As time goes
on, the public, too, will come to think
of the drunken driver-for what he is
—an irresponsible criminal. The man
who has not absolute control over the
car he’s driving not only endangers his
own and his passengers’ lives, he is a
menace to every occupant of motor ve-
hicles who chance to meet him. His
punishment should be made so severe
that he will hesitate to take even one
drink when he knows he has a car to
drive,
4 Competency don’t cut much figure
Far be it from us to preach pro-
hibition. We don’t believe in it, and
never did. However, mixing alcohol
and "gasoline are just about as dan-
gerous as monkeying with nitro-gly-
cerine. Its leave one or the other
alone at any one time.
.
Is the Democratic party dead in this
state? Figures don't indicate it. Down
in ‘Allegheny county, for instance, the
Democrats weekly roll up a bigger reg-
istration of new voters than do the Re-
publicans—but the Republicans cap-
ture more voters who change their
registration than do the Democrats.
The chances are that most of the chan-
ged registrations are made either for
hoping for protection in a job or for
the securing of a job. Every timé the
political power changes, so do a lot of
the “trailers.”
°
Speaking of jobs. Four years ago
the Democrats ousted the Republi-
lican job-holders, and were quite
happy in doing it. Now the tables
are reversed, and the Republicans
are just as gleeful as the Democrats. |!
either way one takes it. Political
debts must be paid. So if a man is
a deserving boiler maker, he will be
a good engineer in political appoint-
ive jobs. Some really good trained
and skilled employees do manage to
hang on, despite change of adminis-
trations. But they usually have to
be “good.”

Senator Joseph F. Guffey's cam-
paign to tie up Pennsylvania's dele-
gates to the next Democratic national
convention back of a third term for
President Roosevelt will be supported
by his labor allies of recent campaigns. !
It is said that Labor's Non-Partisan
League is going into the next cam-
paign with the object of exerting max-
imum influence on the platform and
nominees of the Democratic party for
President and Vice President. While
the League has made no open committ-
ment, nationally, on a presidential
choice, circumstances in Pennsylvania
indicate that its only favorite here
must be the present occupant of the
White House. The Pennsylvania State
Industrial Council recently indorsed |
Mr. Roosevelt for a third term, and |
this would seem to indicate the avenue
for efforts of Labor's Non-Partisan Le-
ague. The combination of the Guffey
organization plus the league strength
might be a sure winner in a presiden-
tial primary The labor league will like-
lv work on the theory that past de-
feats should be used only to teach les-
sons for the future. And labor can
remedy a lot of defects learned from
past political experience.
*
In this connection, a handbook of
instructions, being widely distributed
says: “Since organized labor is sel-
.dom a numerical majority in any.
community, to win it must have sup-
port from other elements in the pop-
ulation. It is not difficult to demon-
strate that the interests of so-called
middle-class voters — professionals,
small merchants, etc.—are, on analy-
sis, identical with those of organized
labor. Labor only plays into the
hands of its opponents when it lends
support to the fiction that ‘labor is
a special and separate element in the
population.” .
The decision of the United States
Supreme Court against Mayor Frank
Hague of Jersey City represents a
American people. Its consequences may
be far reaching. The CIO asked no
special privileges of the Supreme
Court. All it asked was that workers
who seek to organize be granted the
same rights of freedam of speech ana
freedom of assemblage as the constitu-
tion guarantees to all American citi-
zens. Mayor Hague denied these par-
ticular rights to the workers of Jer-
sey City. CIO organizers were seized
and run out of town. Union meetings
and leaflet distribution were prohibit-
ed. Unionists were held in jail with-
out charges, and a campaign of infim-
idation was conducted to prevent the
workers organizing in the CIO. In
upholding the injunction which for-
bids these practices on the part of
Mayor Hague, the Supreme Court has
also upheld the validity of the federal
civil rights statutes as applying to
such statutes. This means that workers
whose civil rights are violated by Ha-
gue and his imitators in other cities
and states, are assured of legal redress
through a number of different chan-
nels. It also means that criminal as
well as civil suits may be brought ag-
ainst all who violate these rights.
°
The CIO is thereiore in a position
to ask the Department of Justice to
begin the criminal prosecution of all
who interfere with organizing ac-
tivities by violating workers’ civil
rights. There are many other cities
in the United States where Hague’s
methods have been used, and are
still being used, in more or less de-
gree, to check union organization.
Labor may therefore go forth with
new courage in all these places, ex-
ercising its full constitutional rights
with the assurance that there are le-
gal methods to secure the punish-
ment of those who seek to deny it
these rights. For the whole Amer-
ican people there is also a victory in
the Supreme Court decision. CIO
resistance to the near-Fascist dicta-
torship which Mayor Hague sought
to establish, has led to this reaffirm-
ation of our democratic liberties in
unmistakable terms. It constitutes
a timely answer by America to the
Fascist reaction which is threaten-
ing the world today.
