As we are now in "status quo," we are reliably informed s that of the native born Utah sons and daughters must leave Utah to make their livelihood, build their homes, rear their families, and dream their dreams of a more abundant fu' ture. This should not bel Utahs resources are great enough to provide for a population fifty times greater than we have here today. We have an abundance of everything. Instead of compelling our people to seek their fortunes in cities of other states the situation should be reversed. We should have plenty of everything to keep the young men and women here, and in addition invite the best of the rest of this country of ours to come to Utah to make their homes and help develop our great resources, build our industries, and enjoy with us the fruits of honest labor of brain and brawn and all those things that will make up a fine community in a wonderful state of natural scenic attractions, towering hills, verdant valleys, green pastures, and the friendliest folks under the sun. two-third- The La FolIeKe Committee Report WASHINGTON Not the "best" but certainly the most shifts profitable reading now being turned out by the of the Government presses are the reports of the Senate Civil Liberties committee. Last week's contribution, 240 pages of report on industrial munitions in the United States, is one of the 24-ho- most valuable to date. It points the way to enactment of legislation vitally needed: To curb the colossal domestic trade in munitions of war that is turning industrial plants into arsenals that might be the envy of a small nation.

Cleaned Exclusive Dealer for Industrial Arsenals is clear from the report, and from the tables contained in it, that practically every purchase of gas and munitions by industrial corporations coincided with a strike or No the expectation of a strike. exfound for any ground can be cuse that the munitions were bought for ordinary protective purposes. Inventory of the munitions of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Co., in the Youngstown district alone showed they had 453 revolvers, 369 rifles, 190 shotguns, 8 regular army model machine guns. There were 40,000 rounds of ammunition for the machine guns. Significant is the report that the four companies involved in the Little Steel strike spent between them $178,138.65 on munitions of war, while the companies that signed up with the Steel Workers Organizing Committee spent nothing at all. Reduced to its simplest terms, the committee reported, comment ing on the amount of private munitions bought to be turned over to public law enforcement officials (California seems to have led the list in this respect), police officials are armed by one side of an industrial dispute for the purpose of having them use the arms against the other. Of special interest is the purchase of tear gas by National Guard establishments, obviously for use exclusively in The report showed the following purchases, among others: Ohio National Guard (remember the Little Steel strike): $20,234.79; Rhode Island National Guard (re5; member the textile strike): Louisiana National Guard: $9,719.62; Indiana National Guard: It strike-breakin- old-ag- ur week.

There is some state legislation affecting the trade in tear gas and machine guns. But it is inadequate, and munitions companies have been careful and efficient students of means of circumventing these laws. Problem of Munitions 2. The whole problem of indus: trial munitioning is a part of the problem of protecting the principle of labors right to collective bargaining and union recognition. Legislation on the subject, therefore, must cover the entire field of labors rights together. Munitioning, labor espionage, private police, and professional strike-guard- s and s, are so inextricably woven into a pattern of lawlessness that to be effective, legislation must deal with all these problems together. (NOTE: Previous committee reports have dealt at length with private police and strike-guarg and services.) Labor, Call a ur Special to Utah Labor News PAYSON Senator Lawrence E. Nelson of Salt Lake county was the principal speaker Saturday of convention of the the two-da- y Workers Alliance of Utah held here Saturday and Sunday. Mr. Nelson told the story of the session of the last State legislature and explained how liberal legislation was blocked by reactionary forces. He urged all liberals to unite in a solid block for the 1940 election to choose officers and legislators who are known to have uppermost in their minds the welfare of the people of this state. The speaker was loudly cheered and lauded. Many of the delegates and friends urged Mr. Nelson to seek nomination for governor in the Democratic primaries in 1940.
