. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
BY PETER EDISON

When the A. F. of l.. and c. /.
O. conferees sit down some time
toward the end of September in
their third effort to establish
labor unity and labor peace
there is perhaps only one form
ula they can follow to bring re-
suits.
That is to agree to organic
unity Immediately, then work
out their differences afterward.
II the conferees decide to me-
gotiate as they have in the past,
trying to find the precise answer
for every question that faces
them, the only prospect which
some of the smarter labor politi-
clans in Washington can see is
another long -drawn-out series of
firing meetings, ending in a
stalemate or a complete wash
out.
The differences of opinion, the
internal battles and chickering's of
both the A. F. of l.. and c. /. O..
organizations are so bitter that
any thought of organic unity of
the two big groups must take in
10 consideration the fact that
these feuds will most certainly
continue.
Jurisdictional strikes between
unions within the A. F. of l.. are
probably just as numerous as
iurisdictional strikes between A.
F. of l.. and c. l. O. unions, and
any theoretical peace between
the parent organizations will not
solve those local jurisdictional
battles. A. F. of L., the older of
the two groups, has had these
iurisdictional scraps for years
and has never been able to do
anything about them.
How, then, can peace with the
c. l. o. heal these sores unless
A. F.. of l.. is willing to give up
it's ideas of craft unions? Ex-
pecting A. F. Of l.. to give up
that is like asking the moon to
go into eclipse every Wednes-

What most Hollywood heads
expect to happen is WPB order
summarily reducing all enter
tainment activities at least %
per cent, or perhaps cutting them
in half War industries need al
most all the materials that go
into picture production, espe-
cially into film. The Army and
Navy need the studios techni-
clans and a lot Of the studios
equipment. And there still would
be plenty of features in addition
to the unrestricted government

Hollywood already has adjust
cd itself to the order limiting ex-
penditures for new materials to
$4,000 per picture. Individual
sets, which year ago would
have been budgeted for $4,000
or more, are being made now
out Of gauze, junk and head
aches. The busiest places on
studio lots are the salvage piles
where everything possible is re-
claimed and sorted.

Mrs. Seligman bid the hearts
as prelude to feeling out slam
chances on today's hand. When
East doubled and South bid
three clubs, she took a chance by
passing, hoping that East would
double, She took a chance again
by bidding only three spades,
but she had gagged the East
player well. Hypnotized by the
seeming North-South trouble,
East doubled again.
Mrs. Rosen made no less than
13 tricks in the play!

INITIATION HAS MANY FACES

Alreodv the United Stotes is in the midst Of on
infIotion which is mounting We reluctant to
ecoonize the foot and we find it easier to ignore be-
couse Leon Henderson has given us the hyPodermic
sedotive of price ceilings
For time price ceilings protect us, the
consuming public against the effects OF Intlot'on
We have an excuse to argue that there is no nto-
ton We soy thot if initiation is situation in which
money loses its power to buy goods. then there can
be no initiation so long os Washington sits on the
price lid and uphods the buying power Of money.
Such viewpoint is about short-sIghted as
for man sitting on powder key to say there is
no danger because the burning fuse has not yet
reached the explosive.
Price ceilings are, at best, nookeshift expedi-
ent to delay the explosion Of initiation until some
thinq more permanently effective can be done. AS
such they are justified and worth while, unless - as
seems possible they uif into false belief that
we already have been soved.
Initiation itself is very simple It effects, once
felt, can not be misunderstood But the masks which
initiation wears it creePs up us, SO vorous
as to confuse the oWrnon.
Initiation can come from the existence OF too
much actual money, in the form Of coin and paper.
1t can come from too much credit, which for buying
purposes is just as effective as actual money! 1t
chase.
Usually several Of these factors enter into the
making Of initiation, seeming important enough
to worry U.s. but all together proving too much for us
to withstand.
Today we have at work all Of the principal foe
tors which can contribute to initiation.
More men and women employed than ever
in our history, and their wages ore at an oll-tme
high, SO there is money circulating.
The government is having to borrow more than
any government before ever borrowed, SO credit is
at on oII-tine peak.
Virtually all Of the factories used to make heavy
consumer goods, and many which used to make
pendobe commodities, have turned to armament
and munitions So the supply Of goods is approach
ing on o-time low for the modern ED
More money, more credit, less purchosobIe COM
modities Can initiation be for behind2 The creok-
ing Of the price control machinery soys No.

MODERN RANGERS

The name "rongers" is opt for the American
version Of the Commands. In war thot features
use Of the most ultro.modern Instruments Of death

methods Of stealth and nnon-ton1on combat in which
Rogers Roneers outdd the very indians from whom
they derived their mehodoogy.
The services of Robert Rogers bockwoods mill
tonnen we're invaluable to the AneIo-Americons dur

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 5.-The
motion picture companies are in
an odd sort of spot these days
they're embarrassed by their
prosperity and success.
While all other industries are
engaged in a production battle,
Hollywood finds itself with more
finished pictures than it knows
what to do with. The backlog
of completed films is growing all
the time; releasing schedules
constantly are being upset, be-
cause business j. so good in the
nations theaters. A movie which
normally would be expected to
play a week will now be held
over for two or three weeks.
All the studios in town could
lock their gates tonight and re-
main closed for three months
without causing any entertain
ment shortage. They could suS-
pend work longer than that if
government order should abolish
double features to save film.
Yet production is continuing
at almost peak speed.
We've got to keep going in
order to have timely war stor-
les" said one executive. And
we've got to follow new enter
tainment trends such as the cycle
in musicals" -
PROFITS PYRAMID
Besides" added another Off
cial, I've don't know how long
this picnic is going to last. Some
morning we may wake up and
find ourselves without any lead
ing men, or any technicians, or
any film at all"
SO the flicker factories are
making hay before the deluge--
except that the accruing profits
are by no means hay. Many of
the pictures now being taken
out of storage and released were
made so long ago that Hollywood
has almost forgotten about them.
Yankee Doodle Dandy" was
finished in January and put into
thcaters in July. Holiday Inn,

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 5. -
Some time late this year-per-
haps, appropriately, on Dec. 7
Walt Disney is going to unwind
the most stupendous, hyper-co-
lossal aviation picture ever
made. There'll be no Dumbo in
it, nor any of those primorial,
winged varmints from Fantasia.
This is straight drama beginning
with the Wright brothers first
flight in North Carolina and end
ing with the future destruction
of Japan by clouds of bombers.
Knowing as little as it does
about the realistic possibilities
of hand drawn movies, Holly
wood was puzzled by the news
that Disney had paid $4,000 for
screen rights to the book, Vic
tory Through Air Power, by
Mai. Alexander De Seversky. At
that time, about four months ago,
probably the only outsiders who
could appreciate Disneys idea
were a few u. S. Navy officers
who had been advising him on
the production of technical films.
VAST PANORAMA
These pictures, dealing with
Identification of all types of air
craft and warships, and with
meteorology and other subjects,
proved that the cartoon medium
is far more adaptable than live
action photography to scientific
explanation and to the recording
of many big events-such as a
vast air-and-sea battle-Which
an ordinary camera can't grasp.
Disney had been planning a
history Of aviation before Vic
tory Through Air Power was
-M~,tteH Now he combining the
two. Key sketches on the story
boards at the studio promise a
lot of laughs in the accounts of
the early flight and some of the
screWball contraptions such as
the many-vaned flying Vene-
tian blind" Courage and vision
competed with crackpot notions.
In 1908 the Wrights believed it
possible to sink a battleship with
aerial bombs, but planes were
unarmed and used only for OBJ
servation at the beginning of the
first World War. Enemy pilots
merely waved TO each other, but
Frenchman soon took the ini-
tiative by hurting rocks at a
German. Next they popped at
each other with pistol.
When the narrative reaches
the current war, the picture will
become a sort of illustrated lee
ture with Seversky himself pre-
siding. In live-action scenes, a
group of people will be shown
around him asking questions. AS
the famous aeronautical designer
begins TO answer, the movie will
revert 10 hand drawn animation.
PACKED WITH DRAMA
Critical problems-of fighting
power, speed. distances and sup
ply-will be shown in ANNA
tions. For instance, far more
significant than tcrse press
announcement of a cargo ships
loss will be a torpedoing Sc
quencc-the U-boats stalk, the
torpedo launching. the blast. the
torn-apart ship spewing' its cargo
Of precious tanks on the purple
depths of the ocean floor
Then you'll see Seversk.''s So
lution-great armadas of long
range bombers and transports
blasting away our handicaps Of

day at midnight. 1t can't be
done.
WHAT BENEFITS ACCRUE,

0One.
WHAT BENEFITS ACCRUE.
Taking a cold-blooded look at
this situation, what is there TO
be gained by this much sought
after organic unity in the labor
movement aside from the beau
tiful generalization that peace is
wonderful? In some mysterious
way it is thought that peace be-
tween A. F. of l.. and c. |. O.
will help win the war. But
how?
1t probably wouldn't reduce
the total number of jurisdic-
tional disputes.
1t might reduce the old
headaches of employers hiring
from both groups, but it might
give them new ones.
1t might end the issuing of
nasty statements by c. l. o.
President Phil Murray against
A. F. of l.. President Bill Green,
and vice versa, but ii wouldn't
stop the fulminations of John l..
Lewis.
1t wouldn't reduce the number
o. local unions much, if any.
1t wouldn't reduce the number
of walking delegates or business
agents.
1t wouldn't reduce the number
of labor representatives on War
Labor Board of any of the ad--
visory groups for the War Pro-
duction Board or the War Man
power Commission.
1t wouldn't even unity the la
Dor movement.
The A. +. of l.. now claims
about Sc million members, the
c. l. O., SIS million. Outside of
these two major organizations
are the million or more members
of the railroad brotherhoods and
the million or more members of
the independent unions such as
the telephone and communica-
tons unions and the Mechanics
Educational Society of America.
REAL LABOR PARTY
LOOMING
If you are going to talk about
a unified labor movement you
must take into consideration all
these groups.
But suppose by some miracle
all these elements could be
brought together and a united
labor front of some ID million
members, representing approx
mately a fourth of all the work
ing people of the country, could
be wrapped up in neat pack
age.
If any such amalgamation
were achieved, a lot of the peo-
pie who are now hollering for
labor peace and why don't they
quit fightin' each other and get
together would be screaming
against it.
For, labor unity in the United
States might mean the formation
of real labor party that could
conceivably dominate the Amer
lean political scene.
The last few weeks have seen
the demands of organized labor
for a larger voice in manage
ment of the war effort repeated
with aggravating vehemence. A.
+. of l.. and G. l. O. want as
much voice in controlling the
American war effort as British
labor has in the control of the
British war effort. The reason
British war effort The reason
voice is that in Great Britain
there is a Labor Party which
elects members to Parliament
and has its ministers in the cab
met
1t could happen here.
