200 Labor Leaders
Protest Conscription

About 200 representatives OF labor
organizations in dozen States yes
terday visited their congressional
delegations to protest against peace
time military conscription.
Results of their visits and inter-
views later were outlined by group
leaders at a meeting in the Earle
Building, which was addressed by
Allan S. Haywood, national director
of the Congress of Industrial Or
ganizations.
While expressing opposition to
peace-time conscription, Mr.. Hay
wood predicted labor would be be-
hind the country in any danger
with which it is confronted" He
took rap at manufacturers
who wanted "a guarantee of divi-
dends" before accepting contracts in
connection with the preparedness
program.
Most of the delegation was here
under auspices of labor's Non-Par-
tisan League, it was announced.
Represented among them were the

And What
They Do
Bach Described as
One of Leading Metal
Craftsmen in U. S.
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

From that highly regarded heroic
statue, the Spirit of Democracy,
which adorns the seventh floor ter
race Of the Maison Francois at
Rockefeller Center, to tinless con-
tainers for foods and non-edible
commodities would seem to be a far
cry. So, indeed it is, but not Tor
Oscar J. Bach, sculptor, metallur-
gist and industrial designer whose
process of treating steel to resist
corrosion has now been applied to
the manufacture of cans as result
of his invention of a substitute for
the thinning of containers. He has
offered it to the War Department.
Termed by the Iron Age as prob
ably the foremost metal craftsman
in this country, Mr.. Bach takes all
sorts of artistic achievements in an
easy stride For one thing, he de-
signed. in conjunction with the ar
chitect, John Peterkin, the new
airlines terminal now being erected
on Forty-second street, in New York
City. He has designed fountain
pens. altars. motor cars. electric
toasterS, the interiors of steamships,
skyscrapers and what not. At 10 he
was a European celebrity. Asso-
ciated with his career abroad Is
rather pretty little story.
The British government commits
stoned him to execute an oInamen-
tai Bible to be presented to Pope
Leo XIII. Highly inspired, Mr..
Bach did an exquisite piece of work,
fashioning a binding incrusted with
jewels and precious stones. Years
later the artist visited Rome. was
received by Plus XI, who ACCORDED
him the privilege of inspecting
treasures in the Vatican museum.
Special point was made by the
guide in showing him a Bible. con-
tained under a glass case.

because not only is it a beautiful
thing, but in addition was made

German craftsman. Unfortunately
we do not know whether ne is alive
or dead If not dead, he is the only
living artist represented here"
After some difficulty the case was
unlocked, the Bible placed in the
visitors arms. Without word he
pointed to the name of the crafts
man, Oscar j. Bach.

for the intelligent handling of the
cases and the personnel. The only
regulations we have published, for
example, are rules of practice for
lawyers. and most of the procedures
for carrying on the investigations
and other work Of the board are
not mentioned at all in these regu-
lations.
Il have had occasion to say that
it won't be long before we will have
an association of practitioners be-

notion that the only way to arrive
at the truth is by two opposing
lawyers trying to keep things out OF
the record, and whatever gets in,
that is the truth. They have no
understanding of the method of in
ouiry or investigation that we call
economic or social research. This
explains the recommendation that
Dave Saposs' economic research dl-
vision should lie abolished. The
lawyers identify the investigation
with the hearing; they call 1t a
trial. The actual careful lnvestl-
CATION that is done before the hear
ing they consider mere preparation,
such as a prosecuting attorney would
do.
Lawyers Take Over.
The problem is really more far
reaching than the N. L. R. B itself
It threatens the whole idea OF
scientific investigation and admin
istrative control as it wss thought
out and worked out in Wisconsin
years ago. AS !leW dulIlilllolldVi'
agencies have been created here,
great numbers of lawyers have been
recruited to man them. These
have been trained in the new ideas
about administrative law that are
now current in the law schools.
Their knowledge of labor relations,
for example, is confined to decisions
of courts on labor cases. They do
not distinguish between the admin
istrative procedures by which
board carries on its own work and
the decision of the courts with re-
spect to regulations that involve
questions of due process of law
They, therefore, are concerned
mainly with getting out rules of
practice for the guidance of lawyers
who have business before the board,
and they largely neglect the ad-
ministrative regulations necessary

UScil.
Now Senator Wheeler of Mon
tana has come forward with a pro-
posal that the pending legislation
in Congress for universal military
training and service be submitted
to vote of the people in Novem-
ber-a popular referendum. This is
another attempt to break down rep
resentative form of government and
make a proletarian control of af-
fairs in this country. Probably
Senator Wheeler had no such idea
in mind. He is opposed to the
draft" He believes that his sug-
gestion would at least postpone
what-in his minds the evil day.
Every test of popular sentiment to
date, however, has shown that the
American people are more intent
upon preparing this country to de-
fend itself from any foreign enemy
attack than they are in favor of
delay. Polls taken throughout the
Nation have shown a great predon-
derance of sentiment in favor of
universal military training. In
deed, the people are more clear
headed in their consideration of
this matter than are some of their
political leaders This sentiment has
already made itself manifest, and
a very considerable number of lead
erS have abandoned position
| against universal military training
which they held three or four
months ago-or even more recently.
Voluntary Method Advocated.
The efforts to delay final action
on universal military training-the
draft or CONSUMPTION, if it is pre-
ferred to so name it--are not con-
fined to Senator Wheeler. There
is the proposal of Senator Maloney
Of Connecticut, for example, which
would postpone the draft until ef-
forts had been made to obtain a
sufficient number of men through
voluntary enlistment.
If Germany, Italy or Japan, all
potential enemies of this country
and all believed ready to move
against the United States through
economic pressure and armed force
finally, were consulted about uni
versal military training, does any
one believe that they would not
favor the proposal of Senator
Wheeler or that of Senator Ma
loney? OF course, any or all of
them would be delighted to see
this country delay its efforts at
preparedness. They are doubtless
delighted that America has aS
ready delayed so long to put itself
in position to resist attack.
Next Saturday, Wendell L. Will
kie is to deliver his address &C
cepting formally the Republican
nomination for President. He has
promised to deal with the question
of universal military training and
the draft. 1t is reported that Mr.
Willkie will not oppose this prin-
ciple. Doubtless if he takes that
position it will have its effect, not
only in the Nation but in Congress,
where many of the Republicans
have withheld until now announce
ment of their position on this vital
issue. Senator McNary of Oregon,
the G. o. P. vice presidential nomi-
nee as we'll as the party's leader
in the Senate, is still to be heard
from on this issue.
Military conscription was IA
vored by an overwhelming vote of

This Week In Religion
and Thought
Safely Thru Another Year
BY ROBT. L. MOODY

Safely Thru Another Year
The last days of 1910 are pass
ing swiftly and there remains only
a few more chances to do the gooi
that we, have planned for this
year. There are a few times when
it is right to look backwards md
the end of the year is such a time.
Looking back over 1910, we might
count our blessings.
We may have had many success
ses or failures, we may have had
many hardships or disappoilt-
ments during the year but all of
these could have been either more
numerous or worst. If we have
life, health, relatives and friends,
we have been blessed.
God has guided our country
throughout this year, and We have
escaped the tragedies of war,
earthquakes, and famine. We
truly have reason to look hope
fully toward 1941.
Our best resolution might be ex-
pressed in the words of st. Paul;
(Resolved that: Forgetting
those things which are behind and
reaching forth unto those things
Which are before, I press toward
the mark tor the prize o. The
hsph ca ing of God which is in
Christ leaus." Phil. 3:13, ID.
