As THOUGH it were news after so many years, we were in a told; congressional dispatch recent-ly that some of the Communist' controlled unions of retail clerks had been driving customers out oi .v,. big stores by ignor-- i f ! j ing and abusing them. This is old union pra ctice, in-herent in that clause of the Roosevelt un-ionism which pur-- 1 ports to protect the virtuous toiler from capricious and spiteful dismissal by the boss. The impudence, indeed truculence, thus evoked is present in almost all the mass-unio- n shops of the C. I. O. IT IS WELL KNOWN IN THE RESTAURANT TRADE AND THE PUBLIC IS BECOMING AWARE OF IT IN A DEFINITE FLIPPANCY IN THE ATTITUDE ' OF RAILROAD WORKERS ON THE PASSENGER TRAINS. In Italy, the pugnacity of the rail-road fellows, rising sometimes to a flat refusal to move trains unless army officers who were aboard got off, was a Communist trick which, more than any other affront, pre-pared the people for Mussolini. Although such sabotage is old practice it is unheard of by many millions of American citizens, in-cluding practically all of those who joined up for the war and the whole batch of those who are now 25 years old or less. It includes also, of course, that enormous element of all classifications whose resistance to information never can be con-quered. THUS AN . OLD CONDITION WHICH ALL AMERICANS SHOULD UNDERSTAND IS UNKNOWN TO A LARGE ELEMENT OF THE POPULATION. Extortion There are two main motives for Js this kind of sabo- - Motive teie. The native Amer-ican motive is extortion and all of the American Federation of Labor hold it to be a holy prov-ileg- e derived from the robber bar-ons and other ancient gods of their temple. A swindler or master of tailboard pilfering of the horse-dra- y days, risen to exalted power in an A. F. of L. union Willie Bioff or Umbrel-la Mike Boyle, for example was not expected to debase himself with dishonest protestations of any devotion to the cause of the com-mon man. The most reliable mouthpiece 'of these criminals, a Milwaukee ambu-lance- chaser named Joe Padway, became chief counsel of the A. F. of L. and of the teamsters, musicians and other enormous herds of cring-ing, n nonentities. He was appropriately honored by Franklin D. Roosevelt with a mission to Lon-don during the war. In passing it may be said that Padway and his chief client, Dan Tobin, the . of the teamsters, who was sent along with him, both were scared to death but were on a spot and had to go. When Tobin found himself back in the United States and not flapping around from cloud to cloud whang-ing discords out of a pawnshop harp he decided that Roosevelt, by his dirty trick, had made him a hero of the labor movement. HIS DEMEANOR EVER SINCE HAS MADE SERGEANT YORK LOOK LIKE A RIVETER IN WICHITA, t The principle of rrmcipie untouchability of Is the man on the job p by the man who Same pays the wages is the base of the privilege of sabotage whether by common American ex-tortioners or Muscovites pledged to destroy the United States. The theory which Roosevelt fol-lowed was that the boss was the worker's enemy and would do him dirt for fun if for no better reason. This was imparted to his depart-ment of labor, his labor relations board, loaded as it was with forth-right and more or less covert Com-munists, and his various war labor agencies. They never forgot it. The fact was that the union bosses of both the A. F. of L. and C. I. O. .were real enemies of labor and were the most brutal, rapacious and de-fiant oppressors in the history of this republic. ROOSEVELT'S AF-FECTION FOR THE COMMON MAN WAS, AS HE WAS HONEST ENOUGH TO REVEAL, STRICTLY RHETORICAL AND PO-LITICAL. The Communist motive is to de-moralize organization in a depart-ment store or factory, impoverish management and thus necessitate dismissals which then become a grievance for a strike and further disorders, preferably violent. The discipline of the unions, im-posed on millions of American citiz-ens by Roosevelt, was foreseen and calculated. The guilt of William Green, John L. Lewis. Phil Mur-ray, Frances Perkins, and Roose-velt himself is unmitigated. ! Iplllllll a x !, ? CAMPAIGN PICTURE . . .

In the first place, among eight or ten e writers, in the discus-sion it was generally voted that the ring business was the most lopsid-- . ed. This means that a few were far overpaid and the others were far underpaid. For example, Joe Louis has bowled over close to four million dollars for his 62 fights. Now four million dollars is quite a chunk more than any other contestant could collect from any other game. Above that we'll say Louis picked up 350 of t thousand dollars for his last fight. Babe Ruth That is about the pay that 10 of the highest-pai- d ballplayers would get for an entire season of 154 games. But after all, the fight cham-pion collects because he can draw. When two ball clubs meet there may be 50 ball players engaged. When fighters meet, only two in the main event get any real money, and one of these gets most of it. After all, a con-testant is entitled to get his part of the swag which his drawing power can earn. Babe Ruth was paid as high as $80,000 a year. He was actually worth more than double this amount to his team, the league and base-ball in general. It would be hard to measure how much he actually earned. I've seen home teams drawing 1,500 a game jump to 0 when the Babe came along. Feit; Get But, while Jack Dempsey, Louis and Gene Tunney have all collected huge amounts, and a few others have picked up important checks from the fight game, the vast ma-jority get little except queer noises in their skulls. It's a tough game, it you make good. It's a thousand times tougher when you don't. Commissioner Eddie Eagen tells me there are more boxers than one might think who are putting away from $50,000 to $60,000 a year. This is amaz-ing when you figrure the cut the manager and his helpers get. The fight game is good only to the few. For the others it is large-ly a matter of scrambled brains. It is not a profession to be recom-mended too highly to the youth of the land. Baseball and football are the two best average paying games, espe-cially in the higher circuits. Oddly enough, more than a few young stars who dabble in both sports have to make certain drastic decisions. Alvin Dark of the Braves was of-fered more to play football than he gets playing baseball. Dark picked baseball and the- Braves. Charley Trippi tried out both games, and this season the star decided to give all his time to the Chicago Cardinals, leaving baseball flat. He found the combination too much to handle. Chuck Conerly of Mississippi and Bobby Layne of Texas were two baseball stars. Both had bright baseball futures. Both picked foot-ball with the high guarantees now offered. Years ago, Walter Hagen could have been a noted big league star one of the greatest in the game. Hagen picked golf and then pro-ceeded to roll up a million dollars in a few years which the carefree Haig promptly spent. Joe Gordon was an Oregon great at football before he switched en-tirely to baseball. Torgerson of the Braves was another football star who picked baseball for a money-maker. There are many others I could mention. Ballplayers Last Longer One thing to be remembered is that one lasts longer, on a general average, at baseball than he does at football. The wear and tear isn't so expensive. A big league ballplayer with any particular merit should be good for 12 or 14 years. Few football players last that long. The Mel Heins, Sammy Baughs and Sid Luckmans are scarce. Bob Feller leads both leagues in the way of a pay check at some-thing like $85,000 a year, which, so far this dizzy year, Rapid Robert hasn't come close to earning. Ted Williams is next, and Joe is third. They get from $60,-00- 0 to $75,000 and are earning it ev-ery day as two of the leading stars. Stan Musial gets nothing like these amounts, although the Cardinal bril-liant is worth as much as any man in the game. There will be a big reshifting of values next year up and down. Musial is drawing something like $32,000 this season, but at his pres-ent pace if he isn't a $60,000 entry they have no ballplayers in the Na-tional league. Grass Silage Offers Benefits to Dairymen Advantages Are Shown In Wisconsin Research Twelve positive advantages that grass silage offers dairy farmers were compiled as a result of tests conducted by Wisconsin FFA chap-ters and Kraft. Some of the decided advantages were: Grass silage preserves as much as 30 per cent more protein of alfalfa. l spot WVljE ' There need be no loss of the crop through rainy weather at haying time. Crop may be saved in a more or-derly manner and labor distributed more evenly. A grass silage program helps in control of weeds because it destroys the viability of weed seeds. A grass silage program makes the control of erosion and insect pests easier. It can be used to preserve the feed value of weedy crops. It can be used to give pastures a much-neede- d rest period in the fall. Grass silage makes for more vita-mins and more color in winter milk and butter than either corn silage or d hay. i n V 1 If vw. , ? l I V'f i N ? ' ' 1 f .

Young Cocldeburs Are Poisonous for Swine Young cocklebur seedlings will poison pigs, according to veterinari-ans at Iowa State college. The dan-ger of cocklebur poisoning is greater this year because of short pastures. With grass short, pigs will be tempt-ed to eat young cockleburs in search of green feed. Best remedy is to keep hogs out of fields containing cocklebur seedlings until they are eliminated. |
