DRIVERS AND ACCIDENTS

Many automobile drivers, after an accident, will
insist that the steering wheel locked, or that the
gas pedal stuck, that the brakes failed, that
something else went wrong. Police officials are
quite likely to be skeptica of these excuses because
they have found that more than 80 per cent of all
vehicles involved in fatal and non-fatal smashups
are in apparently good condition with none of
these defects noted.
Drivers, if they will be honest, can usually
trace the cause of an accident to some failure of
their mental tempermental equipment rather than
in their mechanical equipment Travellers Insur.

HILLMAN BLAMES LEWIS!
Severely Criticizes CIO Chief For Breaking Off
Peace Parleys AS Delegates Cheer

Peace Parleys AS Delegates Cheer
(The following is taken from the N. Y. Times
of May %, 1940)
Sidney Hman, president of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers and national vice president of
the Congress of Industrial Organizations, declared
yesterday that he regarded John l.. Lews's refusal
to continue peace negotiations between the ClO
and the American Federation of Labor as "mis-
take"
In the first public statement of his disagree
ment with the CIO chieftain on means of achieving
unity in the labor movement, Mr.. Hman told the
twenty-fifth anniversary convention OF his union
at Manhattan Center that he believed peace talks
should be resumed.
Labor and the nation stand to gain so much
from united labor movement that no effort should
be spared to achieve it," Mr.. Hilman said.
Convention Backs Him
The convention delegates, representing 259,OOO
CIO clothing workers, showed their agreement e
with Mr.. Hillmans view by trooping through the
aisles for twenty minutes shouting, I'VE want
peace" and "We want unity" A resolution calling
for resumption of negotiations between the A. F,
of l.. and the CIO was adopted unanimously, de-
spite Mr.. Lewiss oft-repeated declaration that
further conferences would be useless.
AS a member of the three-man committee that
represented the ClO in the peace conferences lnl-
tated by President Roosevelt early last year, Mr..
Hillman set forth his conviction that some pro-
greSS toward adjustment of the jurSdlctlOnal war
with the A. F. of L. had been made before negotia-
tions were broken off by Mr.. Lewis
"By that" Mr.. Hillman said, 81 do not mean
for one minute to imply that peace terms accept
able to the CIO were proposed by the A. F. OF l..
committee. Nevertheless, | am of the opinion that
peace conferences should have been continued.
"The issue is too important, the need for unity
is too urgent to break off even when success ap-
pears remote. The complete organization of the
unorganized is an immediate and pressing task.
single labor organization, united upon terms
which sacrifice none of the gains won by the ClO
and dedicated to the job of organization, could,
am confident, Immediately swell our number by
millions of workers who are now unorganized.
''The ranks of labors enemies are not divided.
They have taken advantage of dismay to
sharpen their attacks against all of the legislative
and organizational achievements which we have
realized since 1888. Only strong and united labor
movement can guarantee the preservation of these
achievements and assure the realization of labors

President Green reported to the

THREAT

At time when the eyes of the
world are focused on tragic events
abroad, it is more than ever neces-
sary that American social workers
should call attention to problems at
home. Difficult as it is to keep at
tention focused here, we cannot es-
cape the threat to democratic institu-
tions which lie in the existence of
widespread unemployment and stark
need in our country.-Walter West,
executive secretary, American Asso-
