AFL Vs. MT. Arnold
(NeW York Times)


 In its demand for the removal of Thurman Arnold the American Federation of Labor is doing itself grave disservice. The Federation might be justified in the purely legal contention that MT Arnolds interpretation of existing antitrust laws as applied to unions is unwarranted. But if it is be so revised by Congress to forbid unmistakaby the particular labor practices that MT. Arnold is combating For the labor practices that MT. Arnold is seeking to end beyond question dangerous to the public welfare and indefensibe He has opposed unreasonable restraints designed CD to prevent the use of cheaper material improved equipment or more efficient methods, CD to compel the hiring of useless and unnecessary labor; (3) to enforce sys- tems of graft and extorton; 4 to enforce illegally fixed prices" and (5) to destroy established and legitimate system of collective bargaining
 Does the American Federation of Labor want to defend unreasonable restraints of this character? Does it want to argue that labor unions should be immune from laws that apply to every one else? Does it want to give lipdisapprova to labor racke- teering while opposing the only sort of laws and law enforcement under which we can ever hope to end labor racketeerng?
 If the AFL is going to put itself in the inde- fensible position of protesting against the kind of measures necessary to protect honest labor it can only strengthen the hands of those who are press ing for extreme and ill-conceived laws that would be injurious to all labor. Instead of denouncing MT Arnold the AFL ought to be cooperating with him to the fullest extent

BUSY MAN

The day after the sudden death of popular Representative Lawrence Connery, a committee of his friends in both branches of Congress was named to attend his funeral at Lynn Mass. Heading the list were Senators David I. Walsh and Henry Cabot Lodge of the State.
 The next morning, Walsh was in formed by the office of Senate Ser geant at-Arnls Chesley Jurney that the funeral would take place the following day and that reservation would be made for Walsh on train leaving Washington that afternoon.
 I'm extremely sorry" replied Walsh. but I'm afraid I can't get away as I have a number of im- portant matters to attend to. One is the debate on the lend-lease appro- priation, which begins tomorrow
 The other members of the com mittee notified Jurney they would attend, and the train left for Lynn without Walsh. t.1-fttie e3

But the biggest blow was yet to come. It was delivered by another of the Californian's hand picked witnesses, former Ambassador John Cudahy. An outspoken foe of the Presidents defense policies, Cudahy had branded the ship arming bill as a step toward war" when Senator Claude Pepper of Florida asked if he thought the United States should help out in world affairs after the war
 T most certainly do" replied Cud- ahy. That's the only way we can insure world peace. I was a strong supporter of the League of Nations after the last war and I would be for it again. I believe that this present war might never have come about if the United States had join ed the League"
 Johnson made a feeble attempt to impeach the views of his own wit ness by cross-eXamination, but each question he asked provoked a fresh roar of laughter from his colleagues, and he finally gave up in disgust.

WATCH THOSE PRIORITIES

Whether you're in manufacturing, wholesale, distributing. retail processing business, it might b. a swell idea to have a complete understanding of ust how far priority regulations go in controlling that business.
 For instance did you know that you are no longer free to accept reject any order offered your business?
 Did you realize that orders from the army, navy or any other agency directly connected with na- tona defense must be accepted and given the right of-way over orders from your regular civilian GUS toners?
 Misunderstanding as to just how sweeping these orders have been getting some manufac- tureTs and other businessmen in the states into lot of trouble with Uncle Sam Following is a statement by Manly Fleischmann, chief priorities attorney, telling us just where stand:
 One of the most sweeping and important orders ever issued by the Director of Priorities-and also one of the most widely misunderstood orders-is Prorities Regulation No. l.
 Regulation No is basic document Among other things it requires manufacturers to accept de- fense orders. Therefore every businessman in the Nation should become familiar with all the terms of Regulation No l so that he may be sure that he is operating in accordance with correct procedure.
 Ignorance of basic priority rules and regulations

may lead to violations and violations may lead to punitive action against the yioators E
 American industry is no longer free to accept or to reject any order offered.
 Any defense order must be accepted, whether price and terms of sale are met
 Orders placed by the Army or the Navy, or srbcontracts going into such orders or into other defense orders, among those which must be ac- cepted, if this means deferment curtailment, or complete elimination of less essential orders
 Tt should be understood that this requirement. for the acceptance of defense orders cuts and affects the entire Amercan economy. It applies to manufacturers processors, producers, wholesalers and retailers, and covers every type of material commodity, and product whether not there is shortage in this product and whether not the product is under any form of control
 The fact that plant or mill has full sched- ue of civilian lower rated orders does not author ize rejection of defense orders Refusal to accept defense order under such circumstances may result deliveries of materials withdrawal of priority assistance and injunction proceedings Similar pen in severe penalties in the way of suspension of aes may attach to failure to accord preferential treatment in the processing and delivery of defense orders after acceptance In view of this required change in ordinary business methods, every Ameri- can businessman and every attorney should become completely familiar with the provisions of Regula- ton No. L
 Under authority of act of Congress no damages may be recovered for default or failure to deliver which as the result of the suppers compliance with the foregoing rules and regulations"

EMBARRASSING WITNESS

The next time Senator Hiram Johnson invites witnesses to bud geon the Administrations foreign policies he will be careful to learn their views beforehand.
 Two of the California's ace isola- tionist testifiers against the ship arming bill caused hilarious tumult at the Senate Foreign Relations Committees hearing by plumping forcefully for one of their sponsors oldest and bitterest hates the League of Nations.
 The first was Dr. Albert w. Pal mer, President of the Chicago Theo- logical Seminary, who prefaced his remarks against revision of the Neu- trality Act by stating that the Unit ed States is not contributing to the cause of peace by this and other measures to help Britain.
 Even if Germany is defeated in this war" said Dr. Palmer. there will be no lasting peace unless some kind of super-governing interna- tional body is setup to adjudicate differences between nations. The last war proved that"
 Are you by any chance for the League of Nations?" slyly inquired Senator Barkley, of Kentucky.
 "Yes, I am" replied the witness emphatically.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6

Benefic aspects are strong today. The morning hours are fortunate for planning whatever is progres- sive and courageous. Labor may be difficult to manage and troubles may be precipitated NsE
 HEART AND HOME: Defense work will be more extensive than in previous weeks. There is a sign that indicates rivalries or even jealousieS among organizations which should pull together for the national welfare. Home economies and careful marketing will become more than mere pastimes after this month. Devices to expedite housework will be much sought and many synthetic foods will be util- ized. The need of saving time as well as money will be recognized as women of all classes take part in many lines of public service.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Grea t achievements in the production of airplanes and other necessary in struments of war will stimulate all lines of business. Government money poured out in centerss of industry will give impetus to trade, and merchants will profit. Profess sional men and women will bene- fit, especially physicians, surgeons and lawyers. Dentists now are to reap large returns because the re- lation between the teeth and gen eral health is emphasized as yeuflg men are inducted into defense sser- vice.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: One phase of fifth column activities most menacing at this time is the pro- paganda which accuses the Admin istration at Washington of deliber- ately working to put the United States into the shooting war This is a part of the effort to de- stroy the harmony of aims and the effective cooperation linking the United States and Britain and is likely to gain acceptance among members of a conservative political party. In thought, word and action true Americans now will seek com plete unity in protecting democ- racy.
 INTERNATIONAL FAIRS: November has been declared as having evil portents for Goering and next week may be most unfor- tunate for him. There is an omen that seems to threaten the life of the Nazi who will be less in ac- cord with Hitler than he was at the beginning of the second World War. Jupiter in the fourth should benefit agriculture and mining in South Africa. The United States will daily gain in prestige and power.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of fair progress through following intui- tion and depending upon self-d rection. There should be stubborn independence of thought and &C., tion.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be ambitious, shreWd and diplomatic. With outstanding tal- ents they will achieve success in important careers.

matches and expected to finish the

It was Welker Cochran. four
times three-cushion champion and
present title holder at the 1872 balk-
line game, who toppled the master
from the ranks of the undefeated,
50 to 40 in so innings. He did it
by playing the style which Hoppe
has become famous, the "close to
the vest" game which leaves few
shots for the opponent.
The defeat left Hoppe with 13
victories and one defeat, still the
best record in the present tourna-
ment. But crowding him closely
were Jake Schaeffer. jr., of Chi
eago and Jay Bozeman of Vallejo,
Calf, who won their matches yes
