Of this conviction on the part of American

The simplest way TO describe a social
confict-particularly in press headlines
is to personalize it as a fight between the
leaders of the two opposing sides. But it is
not the truest way.
A great historic Development like the
birth of the CIO used 10 be popularity de-
scribed as if it were prize fight between
Lewis and Green.
Similarly today the papers are full of
Philip Murray and Mine Workers President
John /. Lewis.
But we have to probe far beyond head
lines and personalities TO get the real story
of clash which concerns millions of people
besides these two men.
Philip MURRAY took his stand at the
Washington executive board meeting as pres
ident of the ClO. not Just as plain Phil Muir
ray. He was accorded the unanimous sup
port of the movement he heads. not Just
because the union representatives felt he
had been rottenly treated but principally
because they recognized him as spokesman
and champion of the policies desired by their
memberships.
Lewis on the other hand. was de-
nounced by the same meeting because h.
had come to be identified in the minds of
the delegates with policies abhorrent to most
of the membership of the CIO.
Just a few wears ago Lewis was the
unchallenged leader of the CIO. the hero
of millions Of workers who saw in him their
nha pt,. L.. 4
raised in his defense at representative
meeting of the national Go. What are the
real causes of such a basic change?
Many people date the beginning of this
change TO Lewis endorsement of Wikie in
the 1910 elections This was admittedly a
shock to millions of labor admirers of Roose-
welt. And Lewis himself interpreted the
labor vote for Roosevelt as an expression
of lack of confidence in his own leadership
when he retired from the Go presidency.
But political endorsements in them
selves have seldom been enough to deter
mine confidence in union labor leadership.
1t was much more the issue of the spread
ing world war that created an increasingly
sharp contrast between the policies of Lewis
and those of the new president Of CIO.
The American First group was widely
distrusted by American working people
more because of the reactionary and even
pro-Fascst character Of many of its leaders
than because of its Solationism The associa-
ton of Lewis with this group, through his
daughters membership. created wide labor
suspicion and concern.
And when in the summer of 1871 Hit
Ter turned east. Transforming the conflict
between Britain and Germany into a world
war without disccrnible limits, Lewis con-
tinued such associations. He Joined with
discredited reactionary politicians like Her.
bert Hoover, Charles G.. Dawes and Henry
Fletcher in statement opposing aid to in
vaded Russia and denouncng Roosevelt's
policies of preparation for the increasingly
inevitable involvement of the L. 6.
BY the time of the CIO Detroit con-
vention in the fall of l94l, the lines were
clearly and sharply drawn. American labor
was now almost unanimously convinced

pression-that Hitlersm was world men,

Two Destroyers Launched
II Minutes Apart at Kearny
By the Associated Press.


KEARNY, N. j., Sept. l5.-Twin
destroyers were launched IL minutes
apart today at the yards of the Fed
eral Shipbuilding and Dry Dock
Co., maintaining the "warship week"
production pace here for the past
five weeks.
Federal also has sent a cargo car
rier down the. WAYS during that
period, making a total of six ships
launched since August 10.
The destroyers launched TODAY
were the Maddox, honoring the late
Capt. William A. T. Maddox. Ma
rine Corps, and the Nelson, named
for the late Rear Admiral Charles
Preston Nelson
The Maddox slipped into the
water at l;30 pm. followed by the
Nelson.
A forerunner of the Maddox was
among the SO destroyers transferred
TO Great Britain by the United
States in 1910.
The Maddox was christened bv

pressure of more purchasing power
coming at time when the VOL
ume of consumer foods and serv-
Ices is in tailSpin, as it must be if
we are to win this war. The sim
plest expression of imitation occurs
when dollars get plentiful and goods
get scarcer. We are in the stage
now. 1t is spectacular that the over
whelming flood of dollars have not
burst the dam wide open.
The millions who have seen and
felt these increases in their pocket
books become doubtful of the Gov
ernment's ability to hold the cost of
living down. They worry. They be-
gin to think in terms of getting for
themselves higher wages or higher
prices. That increases the difficultv
OF control. The evil is compounded
and the inf1ationary chase is accele-
rated This is certain to continue
as long as we find ourselves in the
position of holding one-half the food
budget stable while being forced to
ignore the other half that runs wild
So long as this condition prevails no
one can give the American people
any assurance that they are not
headed for ruin.
The increase in prices of uncon-
trolled items force us to adjust
prices that are controlled farther
along the line or to adjust prices
of related products

Knox Calls Sending Ballots
10 Servicemen impractical
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Secretary of the Navy Knox dis
missed today as utterly impracti-
cal" the idea of sending ballots to
Navy and Marine Corps men abroad
for voting this fall.
Congress has authorized service
men here and abroad to vote but
the provision for those in foreign
spots was opposed by the War and
Navy Departments from the begin
ming
Mr.. Knox listed these two difficult
ties:
l. The fact that security would
be violated if the unit designations
of the men were disclosed to as
many people as would be necessary
in preparing the ballots for ship
ment. The enemy, picking up such
information. which is now closely
guarded. could learn the compost
ton of American forces abroad.
2. 1t is now too late to send the
ballots by ship. and air cargo space
is badly needed for equipment vital
to the conduct of the war.
