THE PULITZER PRIZES

ONCE more Mornngside Heights adjudges the
~ laurels. There are likely to be few mulmurs
of dissent at the distribution. John Steinbecks
Grapes of Wrath" is popular well as critical
choice. To borrow Rufus Choates saying about
old Chief Justice Shaw of Massachusetts, "We
know that it is ugly but we feel that it is great.
Mr.. William Saroyans comedy "The Time of Your
Life" has been approval by high court of dra-
matte critics. Readers of this newspaper have had
an opportunity to appreciate the combination of
qualities that has made the dispatches of Mr.. Otto
ID. Tolischus from Europe and particularly from
Germany so lucid and so varlously well informed.
1t is an interesting coincidence that the Naz Gov
ernment of Germany has just given him it's own
testimonial by driving him out of that country.
Mr.. Carl Sandburg, another newspaper man and
correspondent, in the past wide esteem a
poet. This year another Muse attends him. His
four volumes on "Ihe War Years of Abraham
Lincoln were ineligible to figure as biography,
but they contain the diplomatic, military and po-
ltica history Of the United States for four years.
History it is, rather than biography, and as such
receives the distinction which it eminently merits.
Mr. Ray Standard Bakers notable biography of
Mr. Wilson, fruit of so long and conscientious la
Dor, takes the biographical palm. The Waterbury
Republican and American are honored for their
good service in running down rogues in COnnecti-
cut.
Mr.. Heath of The World-Telegram is and of
right ought to be the prize reporter of the year.
He uncovered the crook that lay hidden under the
robes of a corrupt judge. Mr.. Mark Van Doren,
who has cultivated prosperously so many fields, is
the prize poet. The prize class Of '39 is all right

PUBLIC HOUSING OFFERS
CAREERS TO YOUTH

Boston (lLNS).-In an address be-
fore the Conference on Careers in
Government and Community Service,
sponsored by The Phillips House AS
sociation of Harvard University, Ma
than Straus, administrator of the
United States Housing Authority, said
that experienced personnel is hard to
find in the field of public housing.
"There is need" Straus said, "for
a professional group from whom
'housers' and community planners can
be drawn. In this day when there are
many industries and professions over
crowded, it is good to be able to point
to relatively new field in which op-
portunities exist"
Straus said that by last fall more
than 200 institutions of higher educa-
tion, seeing in public housing career
opportunities for their students, were
offering courses on housing or related
subjects.

APPLY THE BRAKES, AMERICA!

IN the first quarter of this year, 1900 persons
were killed in automobile accidents the National
Safety Council reports. This, the council says,
was 45O more than for the same period last year
and represented a per cent increase.
March was the sixth consecutive month with a
higher traffic toll than the corresponding month
of the previous year. Almost 900 additional lives
were lost during this period. Furthermore, the
last two of those six months-February and March
brought increases far greater than any of the
preceding months.
''The fact that 45O more people were killed in the
winter months of this year than last is particularly
alarming" said Col John Stilwell, president of
the National Safety Council, because vacation
months, with their heavy travel, are just ahead.
1t is up to America to apply the brakes

DEPRESSION DISASTER MITIGATED

part played by the American Federation of La
Dor in mitigating unemployment and other con-
sequences of the depression has not been fully real
lied by the public by organized labor itself
The record shows that the Federations emphasis
on reduction of work hours, resulted in marked
progress in this direction, helping to re-employ
the idle and increase national purchasing power
William Green pointed out these facts in his
recent statement on Labor and Technology" be-
fore the Temporary National Economic Commit
tee. His summary of labors part in lessening the
depression disaster has not been given the atten-
ton it deserves. Here it is:
"When labor raised it's voice for the shorter
workweek seven years ago, it spoke for the en-
ployed and the unemployed workers alike insisting
that sound recovery must be accompanied by full
measure of unemployment.
Through the application of principles of our
proposal embodied for two years in the NRA
codes, through the ceiling placed on hours by the
Fair Labor Standards Act, and above all, through
the principles of collective bargaining, labor has
succeeded in averting greater economic blight and
a worse disaster than we have seen.
"If positive progress is to be made in resolving
the persisting and deepening unemployment prob
lem, further shortening of hours must be achieved
in our industry and trade"

INQUEST IN PARLIAMENT

MR. CHAMBERLAIN'S task in Parliament today
A'A will be more than to put good face on the
failure in Norway. He will be expected to prove,
to the satisfaction of a fair-minded House and to
the British public itself, that everything possible
is being done to win the 1t should simplify
his problem to have Winston Churchill on the front
bench with him, to face the inevitable charges OF
haf-heartedness and incompetence in the conduct
of the Norwegian campaign. For Mr.. Churchill
was in charge of the Admiralty, and was also in an
advisory position at the head of war committee
which included the heads of all the fighting serv-
ices Sir John Smmon delivered an unmistakable
warning to political scalp-hunters" on Friday not
to draw distinctions between MIR. Churchill and
other Ministers. There was, he said complete
agreement between us all as to the course to be
followed"
"revolt' of public opinion really is. So far the crit
cism of Mr. Chamberlain has come chiefly from
the opposition newspapers and opposition leaders,
and from small group of younger Conservatives
who followed Mr. Chamberlain during the days OF
appeasement. Unless large section of the Con-
servative party itself turns on Mr.. Chamberlain
and his closet advisers, there can be no effective
revolt in British politics today, no matter how
angry Mr.. Lloyd George or Sir Archibald Sinclair
or Mr. Herbert Morrison may be. The Govern
ment supporters number 431 in the present House
of Commons; the Opposition parties combined can
muster only 184 votes. What can the Opposition
do against such overwhelming odds? Party dis
cpline has been enough in the past to keep most
of the Government members in line even in the
DAYS of disilluSionment which followed Munich.
Indeed, the only serious revolt of recent times oc-
Cured in the first month of the present Parlia-
ment's life, when fierce revusiOn of public Opin-
ion over the Hoare-Laval deal forced Sir Samuel
Hoares resignation as Foreign Secretary.
The Opposition parties have refused on several
occasions recently to join any government headed
by Mr. Chamberlain. If any change is to come
from the present heart-searchng, it must spring,
therefore, from within the all-powerful Conserva-
tive party itself.

ty even to debate measure for whose enactment
there is clear public demand-a "clean politics
bill which proposes to extend to State employees
paid with Federal funds the same prohibitions
against pernicious political activities which are al
ready applied in the case of Federal employees
themselves.
The vote by which this decision was reached was
ia secret vote, taken with "blind ballots" on which
mo name was written. AS result we have this in
tolerabe situation; dozen or so men who will not
even let their names become known dare to block
the democratic process which demands for any i'm
portant measure fair debate and an open ro-call.
News that an attempt will be made today to force
of the action of last week suggests
that the committee is beginning to realize that it
has taken an untenable position. The Presidents
full endorsement of the Hatch bill yesterday

;. VOTE ON BILL WANTED

I ABOR is on record as faVoring Federal anti
IL lynching legislation and will have no sympathy
with attempts to prevent passage of the Gavagan
anti-lynching bill in the Senate by fburstering.
Labor believes in full and free debate of controver-
sial questions but it does not approve fliburster
ing mere time-killing tactics. Such tactics are
reported to be under consideration by enemies of
the anti-lynching measure, who undoubtedly will
resort to flibursterng if they think it necessary
to defeat the measure.
The Gavagan bill passed in the House in
January of this year. Under the name of the
Wagner -CapperVanNuys bill it is now on the Sen
ate calendar. The House has three times passed
an ant-lynching bill only to have it filibustered to
death in the Senate. There seems no reason why
ant-lynching legislation should not be voted on by
the Senate now and labor has shown Enthusiastically
that it favOrs a vote without unnecessary delay

Act of 1888 and ordered him to pay
employees of his Ace Sportswear Com
pany, of Trumbauerville, Pa, $500 due

guilty to 16 violations of the law in
cluding Justification of the firms rec

guilty to similar charges, were placed
on probation for six months on condi-

WHAT NEXT7

Under the stress of war cOndi-
tiOns, Germany is going in for eX-
tensive production of synthetic
bristles. Bristles developed for
brushes are said to be at least as
good as natural ones. The bristles
are of two kinds-perluran and
p. c. u. The former will be used
in the manufacture of all kinds of
brushes for domestic purposes,
such as tooth and nail brushes.
They are said to maintain their
stiffness in temperatures up to the
boiling point. The latter, to be
applied particularly in the chemi-
cal industry, can stand tempera-
lures of 140 degrees and are said
to be resistant to more heavy
chemicals than natural bristles.

UNION COOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT


GRATIFYING it is that there is growing wide
~ spread interest in union cooperative manage
ment. This is inevitable inasmuch as this form
of cooperation between capital and labor is the
only antidote to the class strugglism projected by
Union cooperative management burst upon
the American scene soon after the Great War and
has spread by spurts and by degrees to number
of important industries. Probably the most no.
table achievements in this field came on the B. &
o. and Canadian National Railways. 1t has been
tried in some textile establishments and it has
taken hold in the electrical construction industry
under the sponsorship of the international Broth
erhood of Electrical! Workers, and it now success
fully achieved on the IVA properties
Unions in the American Federation of Labor
deserves credit for their support of union cooper
ative management. The American Federation of
Labor has made no greater contribution to Ameri-
can industry than in this mode of implementing
collective bargaining
