Yells of Battle Fail to
Obscure Goal at
White House.
BY JAY FRANKLIN.

'
|THIS column fnds It dificult to
get very excited about John L.
Lewis reminder to President
Roosevelt of labor's support in
the Last election and the resulting
White House "rebuke" to Lewis. The
incident has not changed tho basic
situation and has not materially af-
fected relations between the leader
Of the c. !. o. and the leader Of the
New Deal Cor the New Order).
And the fact remains that, for tho
second time, General Motors has
broken OF the peace conferences"
called by the political authorities on
whom 1t depends for protection.
Lewis seems to have made the same
mistake about the President that some
Of the latter's business and Harvard
associates have made. Because Mr..
Roosevelt Is cheerful, smiling, smooth
and temperate in speech and manner.
1t is easy for the tough guys Of Wall
Street and the coal regions to conclude
that he Is "softy" and can be smoked
out by bit Of rough stun.
Two-Edged Words.
The Presidents remarks at the
recent White House press conference
were promptly hailed as q "rebuke" to
Lewis. It Is difiicult to see why the7
are any more Of rebuke to the leader
Of the c. I. o. than to the high COM
mand Of General Motors.
After all, Alfred p. Sloan, tr., also
held a press conference the same day
that Lewis tried to turn the heat on
the White House, and then went to
the extreme of using Lewis state
ment as an excuse for boycotting the
mediation OF the Federal Government
in a strike which Is affecting the gen.
eral welfare.
The aftermath clearly reveals the
politics of the situation. Lewis swiftly
crawled back from his political bill.

Conservatives applauded the Presi.
dents assumed spanking Of Lewis but
General Motors withdrew from the
Washington conference and turned on
the heat. This Is fact which has
been CLOSED over in the wave Of @. M.
propaganda. Every correspondent and
commentator in Washington is receiv.
ing stacks Of G. NJ publicity material
But since the strike Is, fundamen-
tally, an effort by automobile workers
to stabilize their wage and working
conditions, and to carve some indi.
vidual security, and since Mr.. Roose.
velt believes in giving people individ-
ual and collective security in their
economic and social affairs. the situa.
ton has not really changed.
The Administrators answer Is
again to invite both sides to another
conference at Washington and to tight
the question out on the basis Of the
public welfare.
The people will judge the sincerity
and patriotism Of both parties to the
struggle by their willingness to accept
Government mediation. General mo.

faith; Lewis couple Of wild pitches.

long enough to see her tuck the pearls
