The Berlin Conference

Commentator generally agree that the
Molototf-Hitler conferences in Berlin failed to
produce any commitments Of primary impor.
lance. There seems to be support OF this
opinion in the lack OF definite information in
news dispatches dealing with the negotiations.
COMMUNICATES from both Russian and German
sources are phrased in generalities-closer
harmony, better understanding. mutual trust
and the like-and only hint at rewards under
the new ORDER which Hitler is to establish
in the world. For this reason, there is some
mentators.
Nevertheless, it would be unsafe to assume
that the negotiations failed to bring Germany
and Russia into closer cooperation economi.

Stain is a canny bargainer. He would not
be liable to fall for" any offer Of rewards
which could imperil his Black sea life line.
especially If those rewards were not Hitler's

Britain.
Stains plan thus far has been to wait
until the kill has been made and then stem
in for a share Of the loot. 1t is not likely
that he would expect British loot in return
for aid to Germany while britain ie at;11 .h1o

is now conferred, Stain naturally would hold
back from commitments which would Link

NEW YORK, Nov. IS. There
is a temptation to discuss the
CLIO. convention in Atlantic City,
at which John L. Lewis apparent
ly intends to draft himself for an
other term as president over the
shrill protests Of rivals who lately
defended the same conduct by
President Roosevelt. This doubt
less will prove to be a fine demon
stration of the hypocrisy and po-
lical cynicism of the men Of both
groups Of the CLIO. in their fight
for f%actional and personal power,
and of the strength of the com.
munists behind John Lewis.

gains an advantage over all the
dull, dumb veteran labor skates
Of the national organization who
were so startled to hear crime
challenged as an unfair union
practice that they couldn't take
the initiative.
They had associated with graft.
ers, extortioners, dynamiters
stink-bombers, leg-breakers, ball.
bat executioners and graduates Of
the brothel business SO long that
they were beyond realizing that
this sort Of leadership was unbe-
coming. They were thoroughly at
ease in the company of a gang
ster, George Browne, Of the thea
trical and movie employees union,
in the executive council of the A.
F. of L., and they had a practical,
political understanding that no
leader should ever challenge an
other as a crook or a stooge OF
crooks for fear of political repri.
sails and embarrassing counter-ac-
cusations.
AS an example of this silent toll
erance I would cite the reaction
of a powerful New York local lead
er whose devotion to the labor
movement amounts to fanaticism.
I mentioned to him a spectacular
crook who runs the Chicago local
Of the anne parent organization.
My New York friend shrugged like
a waiter in a six-bit table d'hote
reporting that the Camembert is
ploo and said: "Oh, him! Well,
he runs his local his own way, and
I III mine my way. I have no.
thing to say about him."
Would Not Speak
OFT the record, he admitted that
his colleagues scandalous activi.
ties over many years had amount
ed to a great reproach to the labor
movement and a detriment to the
rank and file. Nevertheless, for
publication, he would not speak a
word concerning matters beyond
the jurisdiction of his own local.
These unioneers have a code by
which they restrain themselves
from criticizing evil practice in
others. The unioneers never, or
rarely, knock a brother. They
habitually violate their duty as cit.
liens, to say nothing of their duty
to the labor movement as a cult
and to the rank and file as human
beings, by refraining from report
ing criminal acts of their col
leagues to the police or prosecu-
tors.
Their attitude is a~nti-social and
even anti-labor in this respect. But
it must be admitted that some of
them have a conscientious, if mis-
taken, conviction that to cause the
prosecution of crooks and tn
raise scandal would be to give the
labor movement a bad name,
This fear dates back to a time
when any effort to organize work
ers was called anarchy, and good
were framed and bad men
deliberately planted in t
unions to discredit the movement.
But this attitude has become the
of the crook today when
an honest labor leader has nothing
to fear from public opinion. the
press, the police or the politicians.
