One Man's Maul
Jennings Perry, newspaperman writing
recently from Washington. D. C., sized up
one of the troubles eating at the vitals of
this nation under the above title. His story
."'’ads:
We ducked into the same cab, the rancher
and I, both heading out from our country’s
Capital through the National Airport—he
west, I south, a hearty, healthy man, my
cabmate—happy and cussing. Truman had
just folded on meat price controls. It was
going to be all right, now—the cattle would
move.
“Ay gannies, they wouldn’t have moved
till he did. What right they got to tell a man
what he can get for what he raises?”
My man was sweating at the collar. He
had had to hustle down his own bag. Last
night, he had to make his own bed. At the
Statler. as we passed, a dozen of our fellow
citizens, men and women, were trudging
picket-file, carrying placards.
“Dammit,” said the rancher, “these mon
keys are going wild. Hotels are essential. If
they’ve got to mess around, why don’t they
do something about that?”
I knew about that, too. A few hours be
fore. I had talked with the wife of one of
those “monkeys” on the traffic island at the
corner of my hotel. She had cautioned me
against crossing on the red light. Her hus
band was in the picket line, an elevator
operator, ^28.80 weekly. She hadn’t been
translucent about beef or anything. It was
just that how could a family live now on
$28.80 in Washington?
It was, in our cab. a tale of two strikes.
The rancher had won his. They- his Gov
ernment—had no right to tell him what he
could get for his goods. The hotel help had
not won their strike. But they the same
Government—ought to do something about
that situation.
Two worlds, right at home, it was evident;
so close together—and so tar apart. Really
lighting the same light, for a better break
lor themselves, but seeing each other so
dimly. Because the rancher had won his
j strike M was going to be even more d.ffi. /it
! ferthe hotel emplove to make hends meet.
I m, ,
itie rammer s success tue. ueepeiieu inf?
wage earnn's poverty.
Yet the elevator man should not be per
mitted to withold his goods as the rancher
had done, because his services wen indis
pensable to tin comfort of people—rinehei
and newspapermen—on their travels, flow
was this? For my rancher, I was sure, did
not rank his own goods below any: had he
ever doubted, certainly in the East he must
have been convinced by the alarms scream
ing on every newsstand—“meat . . . We fam
ish ” Our cab rolled on the bridge. The sky
was luminous from the airport light. The
night air had cooled my rancher's collar
Seriously, how ditl it all add up'.’ He grinned
flattened his broad hands on his knees.
“Oh hell, give ’em the raise. The damn
hotels aro rich anyway. Make ’em shell out.”
The hotel operators had refused compro
mise and arbitration. They said it would
cost a million dollars. They had goods to
sell, too. Ought the Government oi us all,
that ought not to tell ranchers what they
must sell for, tell the hotels what to pay?
My rancher was a good average Ameri
can, to whim the Government always is a
disembodied “they.” A bluff, genial citizen
whose honest mental process could- and did
—produce the answer irrefutable:
“Why, I don’t knpw—the devil with it:
I’ve got mine. I’m going home.”
I
That's (.rttum Sarious
Wilbur J. Brons, writing in a recent edi
tion of the Chicago Journal of Commerce,
up and said, “The popularity of many of to
day’s ‘isms' can be traced to economic dis
quiet in the teaching profession.”
Despite all its weakness, errors, faults and
privileges for the few, the government of
these United States, we have maintained all
the time, has been in no danger from the
isms traceable to the bearded boys from
any old spot in the world. But now that
Mr Brons, apparently enjoying the safe
keeping of a commerce whig, comes along
and charges that teachers of this nation have
taken up the isms, joined hands with the
Kremlin, so to speak.
While Brons was pointing that out, he
brazenly directed a broadside against fed
eral aid for education, aid that would wipe
out some of the economic disquiet by raising
teacher salaries.
Brons admits that the situation is danger
ous, but like so many other of the big com
merce boys he hates to see the poor devils
of this land get a living wage or a China
man’s chance to exist outside the bonds of
servitude.
‘‘Education makes a people easy to lead,
but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but
impossible to enslave " Lord Brougham.
