The . God give us men! A time like this demands strong minds, great hearts, true . faith, and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor - men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue, And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking! who live Tall men, above the fog In public duty, and in private thinking: For while the rabble, with their sun-crowne- program also serves to accentuate the that exists between the business community and the farm. Each depends on the other. Without the food; fiber, and the boost to the business community as a result of farm dollars spent in town, the local economies would be measurable diminished. On the other hand, where would farm people obtain the necessary goods and services to operate? inter-relationsh- I I I , I d, creeds, Their large professions and their thumb-wor- n little deed Mingle in selfish strife, lo!

Dr. Josiah Gilbert Holland (1819-188- , It is ip significant that the President of the American Farm Bureau Federation, with all of his responsibilities leading a nation of farm and ranch people, that time could be found for participation in such a local affair as this at USU. This serves to remind Farm Bureau members that the strength of a farm organization lies with the local members, in promoting the industry to which they have an economic interest. 1) William Kuhfuss Utah Farm Bureau Asks The Utah Farm Bureau has asked ourtwo Senators to support a Bill sponsored by Senator Pack-woo- d of Oregon, which would hdp solve transportation strikes. Senator Packwoods Bill S. 3232, would apply to railroads, airlines, merchant marine, trucking, and longshoremen. It would make the y cooling off period, which is y now a part of the to railroads and Law, apply airlines which are not presently included. Under Senator Packwoods Bill, if a transportation strike reached the stage where it affected an 80-da- Taft-Hartle- entire industry or a substantial part thereof, or imperiled a sub Anti-Strik- stantial part of the national health and safety, the President could invoke the proposed Act and obtain y an injunction against the strike. If the dispute was not set80-da- tled within the y period, the President would have open several options. He could: 1. Extend the injunction for 15 days. 2. Provide for a partial operation of the industry, or 3. Provide for the selection of a three-ma- n final offer selector 80-da- whose responsibility it to chose the most reasonable one of the final offers by two parties. (It would be one or panel would be . Legislation e the other.) The selectors would not have any authority to arbitrate. This method of settling strikes would bring a new dimension into the labor dispute field. It would mean that each party to the dispute would each have to submit his last best offer and the selectors would select one or the other. Such a method is designed to induce the disputants to do their best to submit a program that would be accepted, rather than submit one that would make excessive demands in the thought that they would have to arbitrate and they needed to start high so they wouldnt lose too much if they had to come down. In the letter to our Senators, V. Allen Olsen, Executive Secy., pointed out that agricultural products have to move quickly to processors and consumers once they are harvested, or irrepairable loss will take place, especially with perishable commodities. Both Senator Moss and Senator Bennett were urged to support S. 3232 by Senator Packwood, in an effort to enact legislation that would contribute to the settlement of labor disputes in the transportation industry without the damage to the economy and to the individual laborers that come as a result of long strikes. -- ? a |
