C.I. 0. POSITION
STRENGTHENED

The bargaining position Of
labor as a whole and the Commit
tee for Industrial Organization in
particular was materially strength
enc by the settlement terms be-
tween the United Automobile
Workers and the General Motors
Corporation, according to Poor'S
Investment Advisory Service.
This feeling is gaining strength
Notwithstanding that the peace
agreement was first hailed by
most observers as fair compro-
mise, if not a partial defeat for
John L. Lewis and his c. I. O.,
the report says, adding:
"Certainly, it Is logical
assumption that there is a close
Connection between the autOmO-
bile workers strike and the cur
rent wave Of wage increases.
In addition to the advances in
the autOmOtive field, it is prob
able that more than 100000 in
dustrial workers in various lines
are receiving new wage boosts.
Although most advances are not
being secured directly by the
C. 1. o., that organization is jus
titled in taxing a good measure
of credit for the movement.
"Mr. Lewis announced goal is
to organize for collective bar
gaining the nations 3O,OOO,OOO
nOn-uniOn workers. As the total
membership in both C. /. o.
unions and the American Fed
Grafton of Labor is only i'm the
vicinity of 100000, the breadth
of this movement becomes ap-
parent"
The report adds that, un-
doubtedly, the next important tar
get in the campaign will be the
steel industry. In this connection
it should be noted that to all in
tents and purposes the "sit-down"
was recognized as legitimate strike
technique. To be sure, the courts
ruled the "sit-doWn" illegal and
ordered the strikers to eVacuate
General Motors plants. The fact
remains, however, that the strikers
were not removed by the Michigan
State authorities, it was pointed
out.

SUGAR CLAIM
ISVET0ED

President Roosevelt has vetoed
a bill which would have conferred
jurisdiction on the court Of claims
to hear the case Of Robert A.
Watson, who claims damages in
excess of 100000 against the
Government growing out Of his
purchase Of $500 tons of Argen-
tine sugar in 1920 and importa.
ton of the goods into this country.
The President pointed out that
Watson suffered losses because of
an unexpected fall in prices. Wat
son claims that because the De.
partment of Justice approved
plans of a number of dealers to
import sugar, the Government was
responsible for his losses. The
President wrote:
II fail to find any moral obi
CATION on the part of the United
States to recOmpense Mr.. Wat
son for his losses, or any reason
for depriving the Government
of a defense directed to the
merits of the claim.
