Within a week two high positions of state responsibility responsi-bility and trust have come to our mayor, J. W. Gillman. His election to the presidency of the Utah Municipal League, an organization comprising the officers of Utah cities and towns, and his nomination as a member of the Utah Water 'and Power board indicate the respect and confidence which he holds throughout Utah. Those who elected him to the presidency of the Utah Municipal League had hundreds of trained administrators from which to choose. They represent the elected representatives repre-sentatives of every principal city and town in the state and are recognized as the state's ablest men. To head such a group is certainly a signal honor. IIi3 being named to the water and jwwer board shows the confidence which he holds in the legislative circles of the state, and the respect for his judgment held by those who have charge of the state's water and power resources. Our congratulations to, Mayor Gillman. His success is our success. Orem becomes better and more important with each forward stride of one of its native sons. WHAT THEY'RE SAYING . . . The serious worker shortage in harvesting the peach and penr crops in Utah county this year, particularly in the Orem aica, is aggravated by welfare regulations which make recipient? "f wp'':;:! checks ineligible for those checks if they earn a ; r -la' 1 amounts by picking fruit. Orem anti east L : !i fruit growers were face to face this week with disastrous peach and pear losses because pickers are just not available. Thousands of dollars worth of badly-needed fruit may waste on the trees because harvest har-vest crews are not adequate. It appears that the years are gone forever during which growers could count on a small army of hustling teen-agers who' looked forward each year to earning school money in the county's orchards; and to the group of adults who enjoyed supplementing their incomes in-comes "working in the fruit." Several things have changed that. Welfare checks have eliminated hundreds of potential fruit pickers. The teen-agers don't need the money any more. They get it from the folks merely by asking. The answer to the picking problem is the importation of migrant pickers with the attending social problems which they bring with them. We hoped that that could be largely avoided in Utah County, but the hope which was held by the growers that local people would rally to the harvest season seems ill-founded. r ' EVEB MOW ELSE CAN I CONVINCE FOLKS IT WON'T WORK- WHEN IT TOES iaufm it rnp Ns- . i V - I I Orem's Accident Kecord 10th Among: Utah Cities Orem stood in 10th place a-mong a-mong cities of Utah with populations popu-lations between 5,000 and 25.000 in traffic accidents during thj first six months of the year, ac-! cording to the report of the Utah Safety Council.

This year marked the 65th year of the observance of c day set aside to do honor to laboring men of America. The obsur"ar.ce of Labor Day was instituted in New York City in 1832 at the suggestion of Peter J. McGurt . It is now observed in all 48 states and in all territories. It has become a day of dedication to the principles of the labor movement. This year, especially, it is desirable de-sirable for labor to consecrate itself anew to the principles inr which it stands and determine anew that its policies will be carried through to a conclusion despite the obstacles which are hurled at it by men of little vision. vi-sion. Labor must work with management to these ends: that lost productive time and lost wages through industrial a- ' dents be greatly reduced, itc And as a reminder I'd say dop't count your blessings lightly on this labor issue. Remember ah victories worth having are won through hard fight, and are retained re-tained only by constant vigilance. vigil-ance.

Compete and Live America's workers take pride In their abilit' to do hard jobs well. They are willing to let merit be the judge of their handiv. ork. Such traits as speed, accuracy, stamina, dependability, de-pendability, and initiative are what get a fellow ahead. America has seen this kind of competition make real men. In turn these free men have made America. Amer-ica. Every worker, no matter whether he makes use of strong hand or agile mind, puts his faith in the trading of the valuable commodities commod-ities he possesses to his employer. Competition is good policy for craftsmen, crafts-men, athletes, scholars, fishermen, shopkeepers, and American business busi-ness in general. The American people peo-ple have reasoned wisely that competition com-petition in industry must be maintained main-tained so that the whole nation may benefit. Enforced Agreements Does competition on the level of labor have any value for the welfare l! the nation? It is obvious that our industry, of which labor if a part, exists for the sake of those who consume con-sume goods. Policies that add unreasonably un-reasonably to the costs of goods, or any other non-competitive practices, endanger the free economy that made us great. Closed-shop agreements, usually signed by management under duress, du-ress, present this kind of danger. The non - competitive monopolistic nature of such enforced closed-shop agreements is apparent. Labor groups themselves need the stimulus of fair competition, for the sake of improved service. Unions need not find their only competition with employers. em-ployers. Rather, management and labor have need of cooperation, for they complement each other. Too Dangerous Mr. Gunnar Anderson, executive vice-president of the Federation of Swedish Labor Unions, told me that 80 of Swedish labor belongs to unions. Yet, he informed me, the Federation of Labor Unions is unalterably un-alterably opposed to the closed shop. They feel that the closed shop is antagonistic to the very principle of freedom which labor unions enjoy and which they must help defend in their own interest. A universal closed shop in America Amer-ica would amount to one tremendous monopoly of non-competitive' labor, with the premium placed on mediocrity. medi-ocrity. This would also maxe labor more powerful than any plain American Amer-ican would wish. Any segment fts powerful as that, either would be actual head of s totalitarian government, govern-ment, or would be so powerful that only a totalitarian state coujd deal with such a power. A national closed shop is too dangerous for America, and would mean the end of free labor unions. Labor wants no such regime, whether you call it fascist, communist commu-nist or by some other fancy name that may yet appear. Under any other system you can think of, as compared with a free America, labor la-bor would be the loser. In Nazi Germany, Hitler found it necessary to protect his totalitarian state by abolishing labor unions. In Russia, Stalin simply runs them. There's every reason why we must avoid monopolies of either labor or industry, indus-try, and instead must foster compe-1 tition In every way. i Thursday, September 4, 19-17 Utah Lake Launch Asked by County For Rescue Work Congressional action may get for Utah county a surplus navy power launch for use in rescue work on Utah lake, it was reported repor-ted last week by Sheriff Theron S. Hall. Sheriff Hall revealed that he had received a letter from W. John Kcnney, acting secretary of the navy, slating that the navy na-vy department would submit the request for such a craft to congress con-gress at its next session. It con- gress approves, the navy department's depart-ment's proposal, the navy vill then loan the sheriff's department depart-ment a craft of the type application applica-tion has been made for, Sheriff Hall said- Inasmuch as congress is not expected to meet until the first of the year, the sheriff said he did not expect delivery on the craft until next spring. Application has been made for a 25 to 30-foot, Uin engine type launch known in the navy as an "admiral's launch " This type vessel has proven seaworthy seawor-thy and is believed to be ideal for the type of rough work necessary nec-essary on Utah lake, Sheriff Hall said. Pointing out that such a launch would be invaluable in lake rescue work, Sheriff Hall said it would save the taxpayers considerable money. He added that his department directs a'l rescue and search work on the lake, and expenses for the rental rent-al of boas takes considerable money from the department's budget.
