AMERICAS OPPORTUNITY
By The Rev. Raymond A. MCGOWAN

The tragic course of the war is lead
ing practically everyone to lay en-
phasis on more defense and upon
closer relations with the Americas.
It is making everyone wonder whether
the outcome of the war may not put
back the cause of world cooperation
for justice and peace a generation.
But there should be no reason for
hesitancy at all to couple with defense
and closer friendship among the
Americas a fortnight policy of the
cooperation of every element Of the
community to make our economic re-
sources and machinery serve all the
American people.
In fact, this is the spearhead of
the central issue of the modern world.
The power to produce is SO great that
if people do not make it produce for
the good Of everybody, it is either not
used and there is unemployment, or
if it is used it is used for destruction
and oppression. And since the re-
fusal to produce for human welfare
is denial of the fundamental moral
law of work and ownership, the con-
scious refusal soon ends in our time
in the refusal to obey other moral
laws and in the denial of the whole
validity of moral laws and of God
Himself, Who writes those laws.

AFL Govt Employees
Oppose Salary Slash

Washington, D. ca declaration
that the American Federation of Gov
ernment Employees will oppose any
attempt to cut salaries under the
cloak of defense emergency" was
made by James B. Burns, national
president.
Senator Byrd's proposed amend
ment to the tax bill calls for a 10
per cent reduction in Government ex-
penditures," Mr.. Burns said. "There
is no specific mention of pay cuts but
it would hardly appear that they
could be avoided if the amendment
were adopted.
at is our OPINION, and l am con-
fident we have the full backing of
the American Federation of Labor,
that cutting wages and lowering
working standards is poor way to
build morale in time of emergency"

The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1940-07-05

Let us return at least this once to
John L. Lewis. There may be more
returns, but at least let's have this
one.
Once upon time Lewis was a Re-
publican. He buddied up with some
pretty good Republican labor men.
1t may be that Lewis didn't get
the rewards he wanted.
Anyway, came NRA and the big
push for organization of miners.
John L. Lewis became a good Roose-
welt Democrat, profting by Section
IA and it's successor.
Major George L. Berry formed La
boris Non Partisan League to back the
Roosevelt second term and Lewis
kicked in with heavy money.
After the election Mr.. Lewis walked
in and invited Major Berry out and
thereafter Mr.. Lewis ran the show,
putting the recently resigned Eli
Oliver in chahrge. With the change
came various fellow travellers to the
headquarters of the League; but it
still stood for supporting Roosevelt.
Came the COP convention in Phila-
delphia and Mr.. Lewis went there to
make speech, which he intended
should raise havoc and get headlines.
So he completed the breach with
Roosevelt and absolved Mr.. Hoover
from blame for the Great Depression,
which, of course, was no one man job;
but which didn't get much curing un-
til after Mr.. Hoover passed from the
Washington scene-or much allevia-
tion.
GOPoliticians who would until
then, have enjoyed splitting in Mr.
Lewis eye (if they had the courage)
promptly applauded him and made
noise like great welcome home for
the prodigal, not to say prodigious
son (after which some of the COPS
would still like to add certain other
words).
1t appears again that nothing on
earth is as funny as the human race,
nor probably as dumb in SO many
things.
Lewis created havoc in the COP
show, which is good form as laid down
in the "party line," which has first
tenet, the command to create dissen-
ton, discord and misunderstanding
among thine enemies.
So, what has been happening mean
while in the Lewis camp? Just this:
The discord WITHIN the Lewis fol-
lowing has grown apace. While dis
cord and confusion has been sown in
opposition ranks, 1T HAS SOWN
IN THE LEWIS RANKS.
1t reaches, believe it or not, right
into the heart of the so-called official
family.
Lewis lieutenants today obey orders
with grouches, hesitation and tongue
in cheeks.
And that's how matters stand. This
is just reporting nothing else, as you
can see.
Even the best of fellow travellers are
all mixed up among themselves; they
find it difficult to interpret the party
line and they just plani don't know
where they are at.
And there don't seem to be any more
parties at the soviet embassy to get
matters Strengthened out.

HOTEL WORKERS
GET new CHARTER

New York City, (ILNS)-Front
service workers in hotels are to be
issued new charter by the Building
Service Employees international I'm
ion, William Cooper, Vice President
of the union announced at two mem
bership meetings in New York.
The 700 front service workers from
hotels under contract with the New
York Hotel Trades Council, A. F. of
L., who attended the meetings, were
among the members of Hotel Service
Employees, Local 32A, of the B. S.
E. |. u, who broke away from the
leadership of Local 32A.
Mr.. Cooper came specially from
Chicago to address the meetings and
make the announcement about the
new charter. He emphasized that the
new local would not bear the numeral
"32A."
Constitution Drafted
1t was voted at the meetings to
authorize the recently elected execu-
tive board of the front service work.
ers to draft proposed constitution
and bylaws to be submitted to the
membership for approval, as well as
to propose plans for the nomination
and election of officers.
1t was also decided to send a tele-
gram to William McFetridge, Presi-
dent of the Building Service Interna-
tional, thanking him for the Inter
nationals action in deciding to issue
the new charter.
Mr.. Cooper came here after con-
ferences were held last week in De-
troit and Chicago between officials of
the international union and Jay Rubin,
President, and John J. Sullivan, Sec
retary of the New York Hotel Trades
Council, regarding the status of the
front service hotel employees.
Were Autonomous
Since the membership broke away
they have functioned under the guild
ance of the New York Hotel Trades
Council as an autonomous body They
have held two previous membership
meetings at which an executive board
of 13 and five business agents were
elected to conduct affairs for them
