KUCHEL Editors and Publishers Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. MORE CHRISTMAS CHEER Nearly all observers agree that America's defense program is still dragging forward if not in low, at least in second gear. Yet even the current push, moderate as it is, has been sufficient to pull up even with the best records the boomtime 'twenties produced on the consumer and industrial fronts. Christmas shoppers the nation over have been thronging store counters to the extent that ever watchful retail statisticians are able to cheerfully report that retail buying continues to hold a 7 to 10 per cent lead over 1939 and may exceed all previous years, including 1929. On the Pacific Coast that gain is extending to as high as 12 per cent with Anaheim showing 2 to 3 points above this mark. On the industrial front, never far removed from the consumer front, the nation's great steel industry, employing upward of a million workers, has been operating close to 100 per cent of capacity. From the American Iron and Steel Institute comes the estimate that 1940's output in steel tonnage will exceed that of 1929, the previous best year in history. In the all-important transportation field the volume of freight carried during Fall months, with increases over 1939 running as high as 16 per cent. This has naturally brought new reserves of purchasing power up to the consumer front. In this reviving business drive lining workers' pockets with long-wanted, long-needed paychecks, there's the promise that for countless millions there'll be new Chrismtas cheer in the air on December 25.

DEFENSE DIVIDENDS California has been giving her high relief rolls the most potent antidote available. That antidote is jobs. The medicine is working. The new upsurge in employment has begun putting an effective "Indian sign" on relief caseloads. State relief rolls have begun dropping and in some counties have already reached an all-time low. The corollary to this is that payrolls and factory employment in California are continuing to climb swiftly upward. September's record reached an all-time high. October's record decisively surpassed even September's. In number of workers employed. As a job producer, the defense program is at least yielding one popular dividend — which is work for workless workers. There was a dark era in American history, several decades back, when a few ruthless business and industrial tycoons, greedy for money and power, boldly operated under the infamous slogan "The public be damned!" That high-handed band of "robber barons," which rode rough shod, for a time, over the rights of their workers, the public and their country, was no more representative of business and industry as a whole than a few arrogant laborleaders are representative today of the rank and file of American labor. But conscientious, honest, ethical business men have paid the penalty for years without end for the sins of a few cut-throat operators, who disregarded the public welfare to gain their own ends. And millions of workers in America will be paying, for many years to come, for some of the ruthless they will never be satisfied until a man's payments, when not working, equal his pay when employed! It is doubtful whether the men who propose such a system have ever taken time out to consider its implications. If a man is to be paid just as much for not working, why work at all? Why not just enact a law to pay a bonus to the fellow who manages to stay out of work the longest, and be done with it? There is such a shocking disregard for the public welfare in this attempt to punish the industrious and reward the indolent that it is unthinkable that it should emanate from men who call themselves leaders of labor. France fell easy prey to her conqueror because of that same type of sabotage, which paralyzed her industrial machinery, plundered her resources and corrupted her government. What is proposed with respect to unemployment insurance in California is just one symptom of a decadent philosophy, but is a symptom which should serve to jar self-respecting Californians out of their lethargy. The responsibility for the spread of this do-nothing philosophy can not be laid solely at the door of misguided labor leaders, however. In fact, government bureaucrats—interested in extending their power and in enlarging their sphere of did before." They might add that one of the main reasons for amending the law is to permit begger and spend. The commission collecting millions faster than D. Rockefeller did in his heyday and there simply wasn't any need to get rid of it. The money sure, was ceming out of work paychecks and employer's which might otherwise have used to create more employmen But the commission was onlycerned with trying to spend. It should be noted, too, that commission, soon after it administered the new Unemployment Insurance act, agreed representatives of agriculture state and federal laws on employment insurance should uniform—and the agriculture emption definition in the state was tightened to conform to federal definition, with farm fathering the legislation. Year, however, the commission only refused to amend state to correspond with federal but deliberately sought to types of agricultural labor by setting up its own define despite the fact that he law fically exempts farm workers from provisions of the act. Now, at the forthcoming s of the legislature, it is announced that an effort will be made bring all farm workers and mestics under the act—with disregard for bygone promises. But conscientious, honest, ethical business men have paid the penalty for years without end for the sins of a few cut-throat operators, who disregarded the public welfare to gain their own ends. And millions of workers in America will be paying, for many years to come, for some of the ruthless demands made in their name by misguided and short-sighted leaders in the labor movement. Likewise, the general public will suffer by reason of this new "Public be damned" philosophy. As was reported in a recent article, the California State Federation of Labor, which was successful in jockeying up maximum unemployment benefits under the Unemployment Insurance act from $15 to $18 a week at the 1939 legislature, now proposes to ask the 1941 legislature to increase such payments to $25 per week.

They might have needed that one of the main reasons for amending the law in 1939 to permit begger and better ending. The commission was selecting millions faster than John Rockefeller did in his heyday—and there simply wasn't any way get rid of it. The money, to be made, was coming out of worker's checks and employer's funds which might otherwise have been Mrs. Winters Feted At Birthday Party Mrs. B. D.
