labor, the cleanup either started too late the cleaners have broken their brooms
 The tragic part of the present turmoil is that the fight is being waged in most cases, issues which cannot possibly do any good for the men who do the work
 The dispute is either jurisdictional-an attempt to establish of two rival union groups the bargaining agent-or it is fight to establish a closed shop.
 The jurisdictional jam means more money only for organizers and business agents. It is battle to see whether the dues paid union officials by the workers at some plant are to go to Joe Doax of the Marine Salvage Workers or Jack Hooligan of the Submarine Divers Brotherhood. In either case the same men are employed and receive the same wage
 The closed shop agreement is protection for few employees who are not capable of holding job without the pull they may derive through friend ship with the union business agent, in many cases On the other hand it may be protection to the workmen against being forced out of work because of the petty enmity of some company official, but capable workman is always in demand where there is work to be done and the on record of good being discharged because they didn't part their hair where the boss felt it should be parted few and far between.
 Labor unions have been the biggest blessings
  ing men. They have workers increased pay better working conditions and many other things which every right thinking citizen approved. But when these unions begin to sprout with oppor- tunsts who the workmen force to feather their nests it seems to us time for the men with the dinner pails to assert their rights
 With taxes on the increase, necessary if to withstand the pressure of dictator nations it does not right that strikes pulled in behalf of the greedy desires of labor racketeers should further cut down the earning power of the men who make the wheels go around Neither does it seem fair that the government should take and lay down ironclad rules regarding plant operations, wages hours and other conditions.
 The majority of Americans neither gov ernment officials union leaders This is our country We work in offices, swing picks load ships blow the earth, take fish from the and take pride in our land.
 We America, and black though things may seem at times, not going to our Nation permanently placed under the thumbs of minority from either side of the track.

NO DICTATORS

The last thing we Americans want is country in which private enterprise is taken over by the government. r
 We are in the process right now of making personal sacrifices and extending efforts to the utmost, that we may fight off dictatorial power. Certainly if we are sincere in the retention of democratic form of government want no politi- cal paws dabbing in industries.
 On the other hand. question which faces us today is whether it is injurious to business to be hamstrung from Washington, or crucified, head downward by small group of grasping, un- scrupulous labor racketeers with their eyes only on the almighty dollar, despite their protests that they seek the welfare of the working man.
 We hate to believe that American industry must choose between these two nauseating alternatives.
 Either choice would entail the lowing of America to the autonomy of chiseng minority.
 We are not referring to the United Mine Work CTS of America, the International Longshoremens Association the International Brotherhood of Elec trical Workers, the teamsters or any other single Union organization. Neither are we referring to possible political domination of the country by FDR the OPM, the REC, the WPA the COP
 We referring to recent strikes which have tied up defense industries and work which is of immediate importance in our successful defense effort. And -@e referring to the which was evident in both government and labor before the present emergency arose, pointing toward the sumption of greater dictatoral power industry
 If the Administration feels itself forced to take over the operation of steel mills coal mines aviation plants and other industries to assure their opera tion, the union stand to lose much of the pres- tige they have gained, and the industrialists are going lose actual control of their operations And that situation is definitely not the American way.
 We glad to note recent statements from 10th to }ha house cleaning being started to rid the ranks of labor of it's racketeerng officials who have exploited the rank and file members for their personal gains But in the light of the present family fusses in

FRANCOIS AGENTS

Ellis Island is not equipped to receive foreign nobility, yet Span ish Marques, and captain of the Spanish Navy were on their way to that unhappy refuge, and were saved only by the protests of the Spanish Embassy.
 Reason was that Peru is cele- brating the fourth centennial of the discovery of the Amazon basin. and a group of distinguished Span iards had been invited to repre- sent the mother country in the celebration.
 But when the State Department heard about it, they smelled the noXious odors of Fascism and Hit Ter. This is one of the few times MT. Hull's boys have been worried about Franco. Suspicious, however, that the Spaniards might be com ing not for pageantry but for poli- tics, the State Department deter mined to have good look at the travellers credentials- Thus it was that the Marques de Lozoya, the Duque de San Lor- enzo, and Captain Francisco Rega- lado were detained. in the port of

 But the Spanish Embassy in Washington interposed vehement objections coupled with effusive as- surances, and finally the travellers were released. They took the next boat for South America. Wonder if the State Department was right?

 He is still convalescing from his recent heart attack, but is greatly improved and is willing to take another term provided his author ity is strengthened and Carey is elected secretary treasurer to ham, ale the burden of administrative details

 While the strategy of the anti Lewisites is to avoid raising an issue over his isolationism, or any other eXtraneous question, they are prepared to fight him on it if he injects the matter into the con- vention. There is very bitter feel ing within the CIO against Lewis isolationist stand and if he touch- es off this bombshell he'll be in for a hot battle.
 Inside word is that Lewis plans to stage one of his melodramatic speeches in which he will casti- gate Roosevelt, Sidney Hillman, the National Defense Mediation Board and the defense administration in general.
