The relentless and sys-

He said the RAF, together

The W ashingtUn
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
(Major Robert s. Allen on active dutyo


WASFINGTON--O many occas-
ions President Roosevelt has sum-
moned labor and capital to the
White House and demanded that
they iron out disastrous disputes.
But when business and labor lead
ers called on him last week with
a pledge of cooperation to win
the war;" the President had abso-
lutely nothing to do with inaugur-
ating the move.
The unprecedented step was
worked out in acknowledgements
conference held in the private din
ing room of a Washington hotel a
few days before the labor and busi-
ness leaders called on the Presi-
dent. Even before this. however,
Eric Johnston, new, refreshing
president of the U. S. Chamber of
Commerce, had warmed up the AFL
and CLIO, as exclusively reported III
this column.
After this advance work, Johnston
summoned to the secret hotel meet
ing AL President William Green,
CIO Secretary James B. Carey,
AFL Secretary George Meany, Will
liam p. Witherow, president of the
National Association of Manufac-
turers, and all the others who later
called on the President, except CLIO
President Phil Murray who was out
of The city.
Elaborate precautions were taken
to insure secrecy, SO that no one in
the administration, not even the
President, knew about the get-to-
gether. Those present met with
one thought in mind-to wipe out
completely all barriers between capt.
tai and labor for the duration If
the war, and to work shoulder to
shoulder for victory.
Eric Johnston sounded the key
note of the meeting.
Il guess this is the first time
in history" he said, that the AL,
the CIO, the NAM and the U. s..
Chamber-the four great organiza-
tions representing employees and
employeSs-have ever sat down vol
unfairly to adjust their own differ
ences without government help
I'VE ere all intelligent enough 60
realize what's at stake in this war"
Johnston continued, land if we
don't work together. free labor and
free management will be washed
