man Of the United Palestine APP
peal, which is SPONSORING the ma
tion-wide assembly In associate
with other Jewish national organi-

Originally summoned for january
oath, the conference has been post
poned owing to the inability OF DIR.
Chain Weizmenn, president of the
Jewish Agency for Palestine, and
guest OF honor Of the conference, to
arrive from Palestine In time for
the original date. DR.. Weizmann's de-
parture from Jerusalem was delayed
by his appearance on a number OF
occasions to give testimony before
the British royal commission now
studying the administration Of the
Palestine Mandate.
Future of Palestine
In invitations issued for the con-
ference, DR.. Wise declared that one Of
its major functions would be to
serve as forum for the expression
Of united American Jewry's concern
with the future of Palestine.
The invitation describing the as
sembly.. which will bring together
several thousand Jewish representa-
tives from all parts Of the United
States, says In part:
Jewish Palestine Is on the TIRES
hold Of new area. It's future and
the destiny of hundreds OF thou-
sands who seek q place In the jew
ish National Home are bound up, In
large measure, with the influence
that America will exercise.
THE British royal commission is
studying the. Palestine situa ton.
hateyer Its findings, the voice OF
American Jewry will play a decisive
role.
Symbol Of Sympathy
1.-THE national conference for Pal
estine has made a definite place for
itself In the calendar OF the Jewish
community. 1t Is the representative
forum for the expression Of q united
American Jewry's interest In the re-
Building OF the Jewish homeland.
Sponsored by the United Palestine
Appeal and associated organize tons,
its function Is not merely the sound
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-01-13

ing Of a call for material support.
1T Is the symbol of the sympathy
and concern which Palestine Jewry
can count upon in It's valiant strug-
gle to solidify Jewish rights In
Palestine. -,
1.-THE leaders of American Jewry
have solemn obligation as well as
a unique observation-disclosures the
national conference for Palestine
to Join In an impressive assembly
whose discussions and decisions will
have their effect in London and
Jerusalem" tt..

tine and the Jewish-Arab situation

Through the years from 1920 to
1888, life was just one long fight for
John l.. Lewis.
He had to fight bitterly hostile
coal operators, who had the ad-
vantage Of backward and almost
feudal conditions In many coal
fields.
He had to fight minority elements
and rivals in his own organization,
with biting and gouging permitted,
and no holds barred.
He had to fight the sickness OF the
whole coal industry. Battered by
war INSPIRED overproduction, in
creasing competition Of oil and gas,
and increasing efficiency Of coal
burning machinery, the whole in
dustry has been sick for 20 years or
more.
SO Lewis postwar slogan OF mo
Backward Step" was more agrees
sive than 1t sounds. For 1t must be
read against the background Of the
drive to "defiate the wartime gains
Of labor"
In 1881 Lewis opposed Sam Com
pers for president Of the A. F. l..
Lewis was nominated by William
Green. Today Lewis will deny that
he was very serious about this cam
paign.
Lewis lost, his own miners being
divided. But getting even half as
