TRUST BUSTERS
TO PROBE UNION

clans, the union to which William
F. Green, president Of the American
Federation of Labor, belongs.
Before them were charges that
monopolistic practices were being
imposed by the union on the radio
industry.
The issue was made work." one
of the things Thurman Arnold, the
U. S. Justice departments anti
trust chief, has listed as a violation
of the Sherman antitrust laws.
The contention of the radio in
dustry, whence the charges came,
vas that radio was being forced to
pay for made work" in the form
of salaries for musicians who are
not actually needed on radio pro-
grams.
The complaint was made to the
Justice department in answer to a
threatened union walk-out intended
to create an even greater number
of made work" jobs.
Whether for that, or for other
reasons, the walkout did not occur
when the crucial date-the date of
expiration of radio contracts with
the musicians union - came three
days ago.
Justice department agents in New
York pleaded ignorance of the whole
proceeding. Men from the anti
trust division in Washington, how
ever, confirmed that the charges
against the union had been received
and were being studied. They said
no decision had yet been made on
prosecution of the case because the
staff of investigators available for
antitrust work was limited, and
was already busy on the New Deals
countrywide antitrust drive.
While the complaint lay on Ar.
nold's desk-where a group of radio
executives placed it at an informal
conference weeks ago-union musi-
clans today kept OF playing on radio
programs, without contracts. It was
the first time in years that they
had done so.
Union Backs Down
Temporarily at least, the union
had backed down. For on Thanks.
giving Day, 1889, it's leaders broke
off negotiations with radios repre-
sentatives after the radio men re-
fused to agree to double the amount
they had spent for "live'' music:
that is, music played by living must
clans as opposed to recorded music.
The threat then was that if some
new formula satisfactory to the un.
ion was not worked out before the
contracts expired, union musicians
would not play on radio b~roadcasts.
That would have taken off the
air such notables as Arturo Tosca-
mini, the New York Philharmonic
symphony, the Metropolitan Opera,
and most of the big name dance
bands.
But January II, the day the con-
tracts expired, came and went and
nothing happened.

(peace) goal, and how they become
daily more difficult to surmount.
"And if the friends of peace do
not wish their labors to be in vain,
they should visualize distinctly the
seriousness of these obstacles, and
tthe consequent slight probability
of immediate success so long as
the present state of the opposing
forces remains essentially I'M

The pope said he had been "deep.
ly moved by the message from
the President, whom he called at
one point the "chief magistrate of
the great North American fedora
tion."
He said he lost no time in COM
%municating it that very morning
to a distinguished gathering in the
"consistorial hall Of this apostolic
Vatican palace, solemnly express
ing before the world, Catholic and
on-Catholic alike, our appreciation
or this courageous document, in

The longer the war lasts and
forcibly wrenches from it's normal
bases the economic, social and fam
lily life, his message said, the more
intense "is the longing for peace
that pervades the hearts of men
and their determination to FIND
and to apply the means that lead
to peace"
"Deep-Seated Yearning"
He realized the "deep-seated
yearning for peace that fills the
hearts Of the common people," he
said, adding that a true. and SOUND

with "high political power a clear

ence for the divine precepts of life
as found in the gospel of Christ"
When the President wrote His
Holiness, he also addressed letters
in a similar vein to DR.. George A.
Buttrick, president Of the Federal
Council of Churches of Christ in
America, as a Protestant leader
and to DR.. Cyrus Adler. president
of the Jewish Theological Seminary
Of America, as a Jewish leader.
His purpose, he made clear, was to
promote coordination of the peace
efforts of governments and reli-
lgious groups.

 The Eastern pair championship is one Of the most coveted in bridge. TodRy's hand was taken from the ie40 finais. A number of players failed to make their contract bee cause they overlooked one little de- tail. keeping West out of the lead.
 The opening lead was won by dc. clarer with the king. He played the nine of clubs and East put on the ten.
 Some players carelessly decided io lot East hold the trick, but West promptly ovoffook with the Jack and lcd tho queen Of epades. Others
