You need no psychologist to tell you how to find peace, this is It Is
it too simple? Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed
on thee.—Isa. 26:3.
Need Better Preparation
/^YRUS THING, director of the federal mediation service,
says he thinks it’s fair to conclude that unions come to
the bargaining table better prepared than employers.
He told the United States News: "I think they (the
unions) freuently have a more persuasive background of
figures and facts, whereas the employer, though well and
ably represented, is frequently unfamiliar with the statistics
of the industry, or the area, or the practices in other
establishments.”
Ching cannot easily be accused of pro-labor bias. He
was once labor relations director of the United States
Rubber company. Furthermore, his mediation service gets
an inside look at more labor disputes than any other agency
sees.
Thus management’s labor relations experts ought to
feel some embarrassment at his statement.
* * *
^MIING thinks too many employers are not properly pre-
pared for bargaining because they still consider labor
relations a side issue.
On the other hand, he believes that union negotiators
often acquire wide familiarity with an industry’s problems
just from their repeated appearances in conferences with
many firms in the field. Management, of course, cannot
duplicate this experience.
A further management difficulty is that top executives
nowadays bear a tremendous load. Many argue they are
so burdened with having to make fast, accurate business
decisions that they have virtually no time to see their job
in any real perspective.
They don’t always know all they should about their
own company. They may never even glance at reports in
trade papers or other sources that tell how the rest of the
industry is handling particular problems.
* * #
ANYONE can sympathize with their dilemma. But how-
ever great the load, it still seems fair to ask employers
to arm themselves with the fullest possible information
when they sit down with union leaders.
Management owes this much to itself, to the unions
and to the public which wants a fair settlement of any
dispute affecting the general welfare.
For all their burdens, employers have matchless facili-
ties for assembling data pertinent to wage and other ne-
gotiations. If they fail to use them, they come handicapped
to the bargaining table.
No fair-minded citizens care to see either management
or labor at a disadvantage when they face each other. The
two should meet on an equal footing. That means balance
not alone in strength but in preparedness.

General renovation of the Canadian county courthouse
would raise the 1939-40 budget figures slightly over the

THE STORY: Mrs. Margaret
Malone, a widow, has just closed
up her highway hamburger stand
for the season when a gigantic
trailer, drawn by a truck and fol-
lowed by a sedan pulling a smaller
trailer, stops at the place. It de-
velops that the rook is leaving the
woman who lives in the trailer,
Mrs. Everson. Rudy, the uniformed
chauffeur of the truck, offers Mrs.
Malone the job. Somehow Rudy
looks familiar to Mrs. Malone. In
spite of the warning of the cook
who is leaving, that Mrs. Everson
is crazy, Mrs. Malone takes the
position. Mrs. Everson says she is
“a traveler" on her way to spend
the winter in a remote, unsettled
part of the country. This trailer,
she says, is her home.
* * *
III
l^RS EVERSON had crossed the
compartment and now opened
a door in the far side of the ves-
tibule which folded back upon It-
self like a fan ... a compact and
space-saving contrivance. Beyond,
there were two rooms with an
open door between: a kitchen, and
n bed-sitting room.
Farther back, another door
opened into storage space and a
lavatory. Everything was brand
new, shining, of the finest quality,
convenient, workable. The kitchen
itself made Mrs. Malone’s mouth
water. She though a chef from
a swank hotel would enjoy cook-
ing over such a stove, using such
utensils within arm’s reach of such
a variety of spices, flavorings, con-
diments and essentials. The w'indow,
curtained daintily, now framed the
familiar desert, the dark clumps
of mesquite. the distant blue of hills.
“As you see," Mrs. Everson said,
using the phrase again and with
her own particular emphasis, “the
room you would occupy has its
own radio, a place for your clothes,
a reading light."
Site turned and looked directly
at Mrs. Malone, as if searching for
some clue to her personality.
“You seem to be a sensible wom-
an," she said. "Not like that fool
who just left. I warn you, there
won’t be any amusements where
I’m going. But I’ll pay you well.
Three hundred dollars a month.
How about it?"
* * *
TYTRS MALONE realized that
she must make her decision
quickly. Her mind tried to en-
compass all the evidence at once,
but there wasn’t much to go by
. . . only these obvious facts: here,
manifest, were wealth and power.
Here was luxury. The expensive
freedom available only to the priv-
ileged. . . . Adventure, perhaps.
Ntot Joe’s kind . . . not the humane
exploration, the search for truth.
This had something uneasy about
it. even a little sinister, but also
exciting. Mrs. Malone's senses
tickled with apprehension and with
desire.
”1 wonder,” she said, “if you
would mind my asking a question?
Is this a scientific expedition?”
Mrs. Everson smiled. Her long
fingers caressed her thighs and
she shook her head so that the
heavy weight of hair swung from
side to side.
"Not exactly," she said. “I'm
going hunting. For peace and se-
curity. Does that answer your
question?”
“Yes," Mrs. Malone said. Sud-
denly, she decided. ’Til take the
job.”
“Very well. And please call me
Madam. All of my servants do.”
A sensation of sharp anger rose
in Mrs. Malone like a snake coil-
ing to strike. She was, normally,
an even-tempered woman, not
given to resentment, but she de-
spised arrogance. She controlled
herself, now. with an effort.
"Very good. Madam,” she heard
herself say.
She sounded so exactly like a
professional domestic that she
laughed inwardly. All at once she
began to enjoy herself.
* * *
rpHE trailer swayed slightly when
A in motion, and there was a
faint, faraway sound of deep-
treaded tires. The outside world
seemed non-existent: it appeared
in flowing variations across the
windows, but had no more reality
than a series of pictures.
The interior itself Was air-cooled.
Mrs. Malone noticed the blurred
whirring of small fans set in ven-
tilators, and as she moved about
the kitchen she felt wisps of wind
that stirred her hair and touched
her cheeks.
She was not expected to pre-
pare lunch. An order scribbled on
a piece of blue paper crested in
gold called for dinner promptly at
six, to be served in the "main
salon.” Chops, peas, potatoes au
gratin, pears, cake, small coffee,
mints.
And, as an apparent after-
thought, but underscored: “For
two. Myself, and my house guest.
Marchese Dellacasa. Victor will
set the table and serve."
* * *
ll)HO Victor might be. Mrs. Ma-
" lone had no idea until, toward
sunset, when the caravan bumped
cautiously off the road and halted.
Mrs. Malone saw the driver, quick,
catlike, walking back toward the
second trailer.
A few moments later her kitch-
en door opened and Victor en-
tered her life. He was a Filipino,
of medium height, young, with an
immaculate skin and very black
eyes and hair.
He seemed nervous, apologetic.
"Are you the new cook? I am
Victor. I am pleased to meet you.”
His English was impeccable,
with a fresh, childlike enunciation.
"Hello, Victor. My name's Ma-
lone."
Her cheerfulness pleased him
visibly. He gave her a shy, quick
:;mile.
“I’m glad the other one went
away,” he said. “Already she was
scared and unhappy. But you are
brave.’
“Not brave. Just reckless," Mrs.
Malone said. “You see, Victor, I’m
not one to care much what hap-
pens to me. Now show me about
the table ... I’ll help.”
"Thank you." Victor said.
(To Be Continued)
TT is too hot to be idle. I can
' tell by the dispositions of the
people with whom I come in
casual contact. The busy ones
rarely mention the heat but the
idle are "moaning the blues"
every breath.
F’instanee, that fellow who was
in my office wanting a farm. He
was dressed in new denim, over-
alls and jiunper, and it’s my
guess there’s nothing hotter. Was
he complaining about the heat?
Not on your life! He was walking
the dusty country roads trying to
locate a place to put his family.
Anything from 10 acres up. He
was back yesterday, his denims
a little dustier, his face a little
more sunburned, but as he put
It, “if the feller don't back out.
I've found me a place."
I know people who take to
their beds every afternoon about
1 and remain there until 5. If
they were compelled to sit up, or
stand up, with that mattress
tight to their perspiring bodies,
the screams of “persecution”
would be loud and long, but as
long as they are prone and ran
complain without muscular exer-
tion they seem to feel their ex-
istence justified.
It is cooler in a vertical or
semi-vertical position arranged in
a manner permitting the free
circulation of air on all sides.
And besides that, in all proba-
bility it is nowhere near as hot
where you are as where Jillions
of other people are forced to be
to keep you in your present state,
so keep your temper well under
control, your sarcasm under wraps
and stop using the heat for au
excuse to be both disagreeable
and lazy. You'll feel better and
maybe pretty soon it’ll rain.
Lesson in English

WORD STUDY: "Use a word
three times and it is yours." Let
us increase our vocabulary by mas-
tering one word each day. Today’s
word: VOLUBILITY; fluency of
words, as in speaking. "There are
people who have volubility without
depth.’’—Colton.
