Elliott To Oppose
Food Tax Repeal
LANSING, July 15.-UP)-Dr.
Eugene Elliott, State superinten-
dent of public instruction, said
today he would not ask the
schools to work for the defeat
of a .proposed constitutional
a%(;ndment that would exempt
foods from the sales tax, but
would "lay the facts before
them."
Elliott, an outspoken critic of
the proposal, asserted it would
reduce sales tax revenues by $11,-
000,000. He said he planned to
tell the Summer Conference on
Education in Ann Arbor tomor-
rowthat the schoois would have
to bear the brunt of any such
cut.
"I 'will not urge educators to
work against the amendment,"
he said. "I will supply figures
to show them what will happen to
State aid for schools and let
them judge for themselves.
Elliott contended that if the
amendment were apprd by
the voters next fall local school
districts would have to provide
additional money to make up for
the lost assistance for schools.
Explosion Kills
Two, Possibly Three
CLEVELAND, July 15.-(A)-
Two men, and possibly a third,
were killed today in an explosion
which wrecked the press mill of
the Glen Willow plant of the
Austin Powder Company.
The dead were 'identified as
Ralph Higgins, 30, and Corwin
Prentiss, 38.
Missing was August Began, 37,
and searchers dug into the ruins
to learn whether he had been
killed.
"We'll never know what caused
it, said G. T. Kendrick, plant
superintendent. "The men who
worked there can't tell because
they're gone.
He estimated the property
damage at $6,000.

Search For Fire rug
ALPENA, July 14.-P)-One
hundred and fifty men brought
a stubborn woods fire under con-
trol this afternoon after it had
burned over 800 acres.
The men worked under diffi-
culties. The soil is so thin that
furrows could not be plowed, the
customary method of fighting
such fires. Water was hauled
from Alpena and Lake Huron to
subdue the flames.
$2,000,000 Fire Loss
Grows In Canada Forests
SAULT STE. MARIE, Ont.,
July 15.-()-With damage al-
ready estimated at more than
$2,000,000, forest fire continued
tonight to eat through fine white
pine of western Ontario.
Estimates of the damage were
made by pioneer lumbermen fa-
miliar with the area burned over
in the Ranger Lake and Missis-
sauga River country.
Two big fires, each of which
covered eight square miles,
joined today and swept over an
area estimated at more than 20
square miles. The huge fire now
burning is the combination of
seven, all caused by lightning.
Move To Quash
Black Legion Trial
DETROIT, July 15.-IP)-
Thirty-nine motions were filed
today in behalf of 12 Black Le-
gionnaires accused of slaying
Charles A. Poole, and delay in
opening their trial, set for Tues-
day, seemed inevitable.
One of the motions asks a san-
ity inquisition for Harvey Davis,
reputed Black Legion "colonel"
who is accused of ordering the
"execution" of Poole, on a charge
of wife-beating that later was
disproved.
Others of the motions claim
alibis for seven of the defendants
and ask that the charges be
quashed.

Jamison Sees Threat Of Unions
As Beneficial To Steel Workers,

Industry Analyzes Strike

Continued from Page 1)
have been unfair, the threat of union-
ization, the various expressions of un-
rest among steel workers and the ad-
verse public opinion have been "un-
questionably beneficial" in scaring
such unsocial employers into a new
and more lenient labor policy.
In the second place, he continued,
it is undeniable that the majority of
steel workers are easily influenced,
and that even if they were led by
honest and intelligent men still they
would not be immune from the bland-
ishments of racketeering promoters.
On this score, Professor Jamison is
under the impression that Lewis has
repeatedly refused to compromise,
conciliate or cooperate (in the coal as
well as the steel industries), has ap-
pealed largely to the emotional and
non-rational working groups and has
incurred the disrespect of the more
intelligent union men.
Coal Plants Shut Down
In the third place, it is a fact that
unionized bituminous coal plants have
had to shut down on account of ex-I
cessive labor costs, while their non-
unionized competitors have continued
operation, Professor Jamison pointed
out.
With these factors in mind, he con-
tinued, an objective survey of the sit-
uation in steel today reveals a fun-
damental and almost irreconcilable
paradox. On the one side steel em-
ployers are inclined to disregard the
interests of their workers when not
threatened by organized efforts of
these workers. Employees are cor-
respondingly hostile to, or uncooper-
ative with, management, and lack
that interest or sense of responsibility
necessary to carry on successfully the
productive process.
On the other side, organized or
unionized laborers tend to be sus-
ceptible to unscrupulous leadership
and consequently become as unsocial
as employers are unsocial when work-
ers are completely under their con-
trol. 1
Thus the central problem, the
aboltion of anti-union hostility, can-
not be resolved until employers are
convinced of the reliability and sen-
sibility of union activities, this to be
accomplished by means of intelligent,
capable and reliable labor leaders.
Good Leadership Impossible
It seems almost impossible to in-
sure such a high quality of leadership
under present conditions, Professor
Janison believes. While this situa-
tion exists, employers will continue to
fight unions, and unions will coitinue
to fight employers. Cooperation is
impossible unless both parties can be
relied upon, are willing to compromise
and to see the other's point of view.
From a social standpoint, Professor
Jamison observed, it would thus seem
best that industrial workers for the
time being unite with employers in
the establishment of workers' organ-
izations, known, perhaps incorrectly,
as company unions.
"The rights of workers are recog-
nized now as never before by steel
mill employers and the employees
have gained important benefits," Pro-
TYPEWRITERS
fessor Jamison stated. "Without
doubt steel millemployers havebeen
awakened by the threat of unioniza-
tion by outside forces.
"But whatever the influence behind
this awakening, the workers have
gained and will continue to gain as
long as the threat continues. They
are probably better off under exist-
ing circumstances than they would be
if the threat were realized."
Idealistically, however, he con-
cluded, some form of governmental
intervention, such as licensing of all
labor organizers, to insure sincerely
cooperative efforts is the goal toward.

always be made for control in terms
