contemplation of the Congress wh-r
it provided in Section 1$ of the
(labor relations) act that nothing
therein should be construed so as to
Interfere with or impede or diminish
in any way the right to strike. . .
The labor relations act was design-
ed, however, to protect workers
against compulsion in their relations
with their employers. A form of
compulsion fairly obvious to the
naked eye is the picket line of bel-
ligerent union men which will not
pass nonunion men or members ol
another union anxious to go to work
The Republic decision }Wst announc-
ed, so far as published excerpts go,
does not make it altogether clear
whether the right to strike include*
strong-arm intimidation of men who
try to pass the picket line. It cites,
to be sure, the IFansteel decision,
and quite rightly restricts that de-
cision to the state of facts present-

Chief • Justice said in th» Pansteel
case, that “ . . . in its legal aspect,
the ousting of the owner from law-
ful possession is not essentially dif-
ferent from an assault upon the offi-
cers of an employing company, or
the seizure and conversion of its
goods, or the despoiling of its prno-
erty or other unlawful acts in order
to force compliance with demands
. . .’* (emphasis is supplied^.
That, to he sure, since it was
unnecessary to decide the case, is
probably mere dictum; and the vio-
lence spoken of is doubtless vio-
lence against the employer. But the
layman will hope for a little more

Your dyed-in-the-wool explore
can understand, however, tbe instinct
accredited to the murderer of always
returning to the scene of the crime.
For your explbrer is never quite
content with what he has found lief on the part of himself and his
where he has explored. Mr. Kipling's
reiterated “Something lost beyond
the ranges, lost and waiting for you
—go!” may express what is in the
exploring heart.
For one thing. Admiral Byrd and
his colleagues do not regard them-
selves as explorers so much as
scientists. The Anarctic was there
when they arrived. Two heroic ex-
peditions had reached the pole. Prob-
ably even Byrd’s actual flight across
the pole was something of a ges-
ture. But there is the serious be-
expedition that in the Antarctic
there are resources of ultimate bene
fit to the world. They want to
make these available.
Of course there is self-satisfac-
tion in it, too. This U the job at
which they work. Not for profit—
Admiral Byrd is authority for the
statement that a polar explorer
winds up with a lot of debt* that
he must work very hard to pay off
Perhaps ic is that the explorer's
place in the record is secure,

they are now. the turkey raisers

to carry the crop over.
IfES, It’s nice to have a lot of
X money to spend. But don’t for*
get there’s also plenty of fun to be had
“on theway op” to affluence.
There’s the satisfaction of achieving
something better than you're used to-
stepping up, for instance, to this smart,
swift, solid Buick after you’ve been
driving run-of-the-mill cars.
Just you feel the silk-smooth surge of its
great 107 horsepower micropoise-bal-
anced straight-eight engine — and you
know that all that went before was only
preliminary to (his big thrill.

here’s the real thing in precision-made
mechanisms, not just a stopgap to tide
you over.
You roll your steady, even-going, firm-
riding wiy, and the taut, staunch,
cverywhere-suhstantial feel of this fine
carriage brings a sense of “getting some-
where” at satisfying as your first gilt-
edged bond.
Suppose you have to stretch a bit to
buy this Buick —well, you’ll find that-
will only make you prize this great eight
all the more!
So go look at the car that can mark a
milestone in your life. It doesn't cost a
thing to find out how little it will stand
you delivered.

verse humans want a thing when its
price is high, and can’t be bothered
about it when it’s cheap. To help
out the distressed turkey people, we
should reverse that odd quirk ihfid
go in for more turkey.
Meantime we need to think up a
few slogans to popularize turkey
