Ninety-six members of a Textile Union, employed at the Blue Bird Silk Mill, Columbia, went on a strike Monday. One silk mill in that boro has already moved its machinery to another town and if other silk workers keep on agitating, they can expect the same thing to happen. With a voke of taxes and depression difliculties business man’s neck, its the wrong time for the worke around a r to tell the pay boss how he should do business. We're soon beginning to think those Amish who have had so much trouble with the East Lampeter School Board, real- ly don’t know what they want. One of their number, David Zook, ran for school director and was elected. One hour before the School Board met to organize, Zook, acting upon the advice of his preacher, re- fused to accept the office by tendering a written resignation. Naturally the Board declared the office vacant but since then Zook changed his mind and is now begging to be reinstated. TAXEATERS AND TAXPAYERS As the New York our ancestors would probably have thrown up their hands in horror if they could have foreseen the state of affairs suggested by a survey of .. ublic employment recently released by the Civil Service As- mbly. 12 1936, wages and salaries for all employes of government, ding those on work relief, came to $5,145,873,000-- ch works out to $160 for each American family of four. “If the extraordinary figures for re- the figures would be Times observes, Times also says, were ddded to this normal total, iy astronomical.” Lien conditions reach a point where the arerage Ameri- : famil must kick in with $160 a year to pay the salaries orm... government employes, the day doesn’t seem far en the taxeaters will exceed in number the taxpayers! HOPING FOR THE BEST There are ; indications that the federal government 1ay call a truce in its war on the private utility industry. The act that the electric utilities, if given reasonable assurance that they will not be saddled further with confiscatory taxes, punitive regulation or driven out of business by government competition, could be a tremendous influence in curbing the recession, seems to have finally permeated the halls of Cong- ress. However, to date there has been no concrete action, in spite of the new attitude of compassion. And after half a de- cade of merciless political attack it will take more than a few words of half-hearted conciliation to snap the utility industry out of the doldrums. As has been pointed out, if the truce is genuine, the first form that congressional action should take is the stoppage of further direct competition by government with its citizens. Second, it should compel true power operations. Third, it should stop promoting and sub- sidizing public ownership and operation. Billions of dollars of utility construction and expansion, and thousands of jobs are awaiting such action. Will it be taken? Is the truce genuine—and permanent? One wonders—and hopes for the best. JIC wil accounting of existing public IT'S UP TO CONGRESS NOW The nation’s leading bankers, replying to a recent question- naire, expressed the opinion that the current slump in Amer- ican business would run its course in about 4 months, and not develop into a new depression. They qualified this state- ment, however, by saying that an upturn is dependent largely upon a change in the attitude of the government toward in- dustry. Finally, they proposed five distinct recovery meas- ures, in the following order, all of which are in the power of Congress to effect: Repeal of the undistributed earnings tax. Balancing the budget. Lowering the tax on capital gains. Effecting increases in rail rates to provide a reasonable on investment.
