Loans to pay the DOCTOR NURSE -HOSPITAL -for LAYETTES CRIBS SCALES BLANKETS AND, well Anything Your Baby Needs! anyone to withhold this information from the people not even temporarily. Just how to protect these important rights of all the people and not infringe the rights of some of the people is the problem. In the Instance of the local press It is possible; and with no loss of either face or advantage to anybody. us suppose that an impasse has been reached which would nhut down all of the newspapers of a city.

To deprive newspaper workers of the right to strike would be discriminatory unless all strikes were outlawed. So how could newspapers give public service while a strike of riMrntlnJ workers goes on? It can be done and without prejudice to the strikers. A strike is supposed to be against a company, a business or an individual; not against the public or the law of the land. When a concern gets Mg enough to have a strike, it has arrived where it must do a lot of business to exist. A legal strike is the worker' means by which he hopes to prove that the concern can't get along without him.

How can he prove this without fouling his own nest? A newspaper iiiimt a ccit.iln amount of buslneHS, nui.it punt a certain size paper to carry on for long. If it were impossible for a newspaper to print editions of profitable size, but if rotating skeleton crews would produce necessary pages to provide public service to the community, the strike would be as effective from the standpoint of the strikers as if no paper was published. The strike then would be against a business; not against the public welfare. ThU would be to the strikers' advantage. For where newspaper blackouts have resulted from strikes, the atriketa have seldom enjoyed the support of the general public, in whose eyes newspaper people are well-paid, favored workers.

Neither have they alwuys drawn the sympathy of other union labor. This is largely because the suspension of newspapers bo adversely affects almost every person that all become personally interested. If no strike could completely close down newspapers, the vital parts of the newspaper's service could Jse given to the people. But that part which is essential to the ownership, in order to stay in business. volume, bigness, could still determined by the strikers to the point that their position would be equally strong against the newspaper; and stronger with the public.

In the last analysis no institution, not even the great power of the strike, can endure in the face of strong enough adverse public opinion. For the people will finally, by some means, destroy that which damages them. Nothing in this reasoning will cause publishers or union leaders to rise up and cheer. It is not so intended. The approach is from the standpoint of the people; not management, not unions.

I loth management and unions will be wise to observe that the public has learned who pays for strikes that the people do. They also learn quickly, in a city without its newspapers, that bein; de-priced of them constitutes a flagrant public disservice on the part of somebody. Their unfavorable recatlon is instantaneous and direct; not cumulative and secondary, a is the effect of moist other strikes. When a strike can be devised that hurts only those Involved in it, the trend of strike-hatred might be stemmed. No kind of strike so quickly focuses people's attention upon the strike-burden which the public bears as does a strike which blarka out a community's news-pa pers.

Thus no strike is more damaging to unionism. Ejrypt became a Roman province in 30 B.C. ONE!

The newnpaper haa become a public aervice which approarhea the utilities. It pet forina ho many necessary functions which no other institution can provide that a means should exist to prevent community blackouts through suspension of the local press wherever located. Such provision need not outlaw newnpaper striken. This Is not advocacy of any sort of anti-labor legislation; unless it is anti-labor to he pro-American. When diiiaKrermrnt or stubbornness on anybody' part clours down the newspapers In a community, the strike is not against a newspaper, or a dozen papers it is against the people.

It requires a wrestle with a local news blackout for a community to appreciate the confusion that a newspaper strike brings. Where one has been experienced everybody has seen the lone and harm it can create, down to humble and obscure people In vocations remote from publishing. The cost and inconvenience of a newspaper strike extends in some manner to almost everybody who Uvea within range of one. In no Instance of riwwapnper tln kout has any other medium of communication been able to till the void. The newspaper occupies a plice along with perishable necessities; akin to food and furl and fire end police protectionthings we must have and for which we cannot wait, as we can for a new car, a radio or refrigerator.
