ployers into conference.
1t is known that at no time was
the matter of evacuation of the plants
by the "sit-down" strikers of real
consequence as an issue in itself. but
merely as trading point. Lewis
was ready to order evacuation If he
could get a concession in return The
last thing he wanted was a court
injunction that would tell the country
that sit-down strikers were unlawfully
occupying the plants.
knowledge that the court hearing
would be held on Monday led to
desperate efforts here last Friday
by Secretary Perkins at the behest of
Lewis to get the General Motors peo-
pie into conference.
Every possible effort was made to
get the General Motors folks to with
hold their proceedings. John Lewis
wanted TO be able to tell the "sit-
down" strikers that they had won a
great victory. He would have been
able to do so if the evacuation were
ordered by him instead of the court,
and especially if it were done as
consequence of some concession
granted by General Motors
When it became apparent that there
would be court proceedings and
probably an injunction, the Lewis
forces endeavored again to bring
about a conference which would OBJ
scure or vitiate the Importance of the
court order. Even the good Offices of
the President we're enlisted by Lewis
to get conference going on Monday
in Detroit.
Then came another attempt to be-
cloud the meaning of the court order
The President. having been advised
that General Motors did not regard
Miss Perkins reuest for conference
of principals as equivalent to presi-
dental invitation, got in touch with
Gov. Murphy of Michigan and let it
be known that he wanted conference
of the motor executives and the labor
leaders.
But it was not Sloan and Miss
Perkins and Lewis at Washington who
cid the comforting. Lewis had to 60
to Detroit and there he met the execu-
tive vice president of the General Mo-
tors Corp. on Wednesday.
General Motors Caught.
1t is true that the conference OF
Wednesday Of this week was held after
the court order was granted on Tues
day and, therefore, the motor COM
pany executives we're consistent with
their previous attitude, namely, that
the sit-down strike issue had to be
settled first. Actually, however, the
union leaders succeeded in deferring
an actual evacuation.
In other words, the wednesday con-
ference was finally gotten under way
without actual evacuation. This means
that when the Shutdown" strikers
leave they will appear to do so in
obedience to their own chieftains,
Homer Martin or John Lewis. and not
in obedience to any court order or de-
mand from the General Motors eXecu-
tives.
To this extent every hour that the
"sit- down" strikers disobey the order
of the court and no eviction order is
insisted upon by the company, the
strikers achieve moral victory among
their followers.
1t might be asked why the General
Motors executives sat down to confer
with Lewis while the court order was
not obeyed or why they did not insist
on an immediate order from the court

He grew up in the mining towns, re-
vealed brilliant intelligence at St.
Mary'S Jesuit College, Montreal, at
tended the American College in Rome
and was ordained in Rome in 1890.
For 13 years he taught Greek. French
and dogmatic theology at st. Charles
Seminary in Philadelphia. Returning
from his long mission to the Philip
pines, he became fifth Sufragan
Bishop of Buffalo. Two years later.
cheering crowds conveyed him through
the streets as he was enthroned Arch
bishop Of Philadelphia, succeeding the
late Archbishop Edmond F. Prender-
CAST
He was made a cardinal in 1921,

The prize ring death of Tony Ma
rino, Pittsburgh bantamweight. has
brought quick action by the New York
State Athletic Commission. Mai. Gen.
John j. Phelan approves an order re-
quiring referees to halt contests in
which there is a palpable danger of
injury. The New York commission
has set the pace for the rest of the
country, ever since the Walker law was
passed. Virtually all State boxing
laws are patterned after this statute.
1t is practicable that this new safe-
guard will be widely established.
Any reference to the imposing,
white-haired Gen. Phelan is a re-
minder that the commission has cut
loose from politics-an important se"-
erance in view Of past entanglements.
No longer are political careers built
with blizzards of fight tickets. Gen.
Phelan became chairman Of the conl-
mission in 1882, after 10 years on the
commission. to which he had been sp-
pointed by Gov. Smith, with later ap-
pointmentS by Cows. Roosevelt and

Wanted: ALabor Policy
Neither Industry Nor Unions Can Be Blamed for
Lack of Effective Procedure

Of the board or any Of its agencies
. shall be punished by a $1,000
fine or by imprisonment for not
more than one ..'ear. or both"
That is to say: The board can sub
poena the interested parties. investi-
gate the complaints and decide the
case. although the decision is not
finally binding on both parties. The
decision must, Of course. be made in
side the framework of the law which
establishes the right of employees to
organize in unions as they please and
states that the encouragement Of
the practice of collective bargaining
is a policy OF the United States.
What Is Use Of Laws?
In this column we are not concerned
at the moment with either q defense
or criticism Of the Wagner labor
relations act. but merely pointing out
that the procedure established by the
act was not followed. Neither Mr..
Lewis nor Mr.. Sloan asked for the
procedure. but neither did the board
act. as it is charged to do. on its own
initiative. =
Politically speaking. no action is
possible because there is no consistent
labor policy to guide the board. either
on the part of labor or government,
and no sincere labor policy on the
part Of industry. Consider five basic
issues In this strike: !. The right to
organize independent trade unions.
2. Shall any one union be regarded
as sole collective bargaining agency
for all employees? 3. Does sole col
lective bargaining agency" mean
closed shop? 4. Shall the checkoff
system, whereby the employer collects
the union dues from the members out
Of employees pay checks be imposed:
and S, The legality and morality Of
the sit-down strike.
- -
The Question Involved.
One and two are answered in the
law OF the land All workers have
the right to organize and If a ma
jority Of employees vote under certain
conditions for one union, it must be
regarded as the representative Of
them all. Government and labor are
agreed on this. Industry has to agree
as long as 1t is law. but says no to
both in its heart. Over the third
question there is complete darkness.
Industry would certainly answer no.
it does not mean the closed shop.
Mr.. Lewis-if his union were legally
the sole bargaining agency-would
doubtless say yes. and say no if some
other union were. The A. F. of L.
would say yes or no as happened to
suit its interests. Government says
nothing.
On the fourth question industry
says no. Labor says both yes and no.
depending on what branch of labor is
saying it, and Government says moth
ing.
On the fifth question industry says
no. Labor says yes and no-the A. F.
OF L. has attacked the principle Of the
sit-down strike even more vigorously
than Mr. Sloan-and Government
says nothing.
So what?
Big industry plainly needs policy
toward labor more in harmony with
the law, and with the twentieth CEN
tury.

for eviction Of the "sit-down" strikers.
To understand the answer to this,
one must recognize that Gov. Murphy
comes into the picture with a desire
to prevent bloodshed and rioting.
Once before when it looked as If the
sheriff might have to enforce a court
order. the Governor counseled pa
tience.
From a tactical standpoint. it Is
to General Motors advantage to see
the "Sit-down" strikers evicted be-
cause this will strengthen their own
position with the employees who are
loyal and who would not understand
any concessions to the Lewis union
as anything but intimidation.
Also, from q tactical standpoint, 1t
is important for Lewis to get a basis
for peace in which the "sit-down"
strikers retire in return for . point
granted.
