BY WILLIAM ALLEN While.
The rights and wrongs of the sit
down strike, SKINNED off after boiling,
simmer to this: Ones afraid and the
other dassent. This is a cryptic re-
mark. meaning that neither the own
ers Of the property under trespass
nor the trespassers themselves dare
to appeal to the law.
The Wagner act, establishing the
National Labor Relations Board, has
not been declared unconstitutional by
the Supreme Court. This law is still
on the Federal statute books. 1t pro-
vides for the adjudication of all the
grievances which the Lewis c. l. o.
complains about and provides en-
ployers with a means for polling the
workers to see if John L. Lewis con-
tention is right or wrong that he
has majority of any industry wherein
he has called strike.
Why are these two contenderS, Lewis
and his trespassers, and the various
owners of the tools of industry where
In sit-down strikers are trespassing-
why are they gun-shy of the law?
The answer seems to be that neither
side wants to give the public a break
at the risk of its own hide. To put
1t otherwise: The labor legislation now
on the books was written to produce
industrial peace through justice. JUS
tice to whom? Primarily the public,
the third party to these strikes. Now,
how about the public-meaning: Who
is the public?
Public Not All Labor.
Mr.. Lewis of the c. I. o. contends
there is no public outside of labor, that
we are all industrial producers first
and consumers afterward. In a class
less, proletarian society, this would be
true. In a country dominated by q
democratic middle class, this is not
true. and however much wishful think
ing Mr.. Lewis may inject into this
situation, he can't make a proletarian
one class country out of an overwhelm-
ingly middle-clasS country. So he
fears, quite properly, any legislation
like the Wagner act. He won't 60 to
court for fear of the decision of the
court.
Evidently John Lewis of the c. I. o.
feels his 100000 contribution to the
Roosevelt campaign has bought him

cidental hereditary appurtenance
thereunto appertaining, like the tail

to lose a club trick at the enc.
If played at no trumps the joint
cards were worth tricks in spades,
5 in hearts, 3 in diamonds and 2 in
clubs, or a total of Is tricks, less
the Ace of spades, insuring a small
slam. That off-hand looks as if
no trumps was the better call. At
hearts. there were A tonors, worth
100 points, making that suit bet
ter call than no trumps, provided
it should go 6-odd with perfect play
by West. The trouble lay with de-
clarer's poor strategy. He attempt
ed to obtain his club discardS pre-
maturely. There wer1 two meth
DDS of making his small slam at
hearts, when South refused to win
the first spade trick.
The first method and the safer
one, is to play as follows: When
in with the 10 Of spades, pull all OPP
posing trumps. Lead the a of
spades. South is in with his Ace,
and he must lead either a diamond
or club. In either case the small
slam is assured. IF diamond is
led, have dumny's K vim. Discard
one of declarer's clubs on the Ace
of diamonds, and the two remaining
low clubs, on the two good spades
in dummy. The remainder of the
tricks belong to declarer. If South
leads back a club, instead Of a dia-
mond, when in with the Ace Of
spades, win in declarer's hand, then
overtake his @ Of diamonds with
dummy's K, to obtain his discards.
The second method of making the
small slam is ble-dumnly., Pull
trumps when in with the 10 Of
spades. Lead the Q Of diamonds.
Overtake with the K. Then discard
declarer's last spade on the Ace.
Give defenders one club trick.
