TO DANCE OR NOT TO DANCE?

George Lucas, who heads he move
ment in Key West for the observance of
President Roosevelt's birthday anniversary,
with the chief object in view of raising
money for infantile paralysis sufferers, says
that possibly the usual ball that has been
given in 0. he years will not be held this
year.
In that connection, one Key Wester re-
marked that he felt confident that Leon
EendcrsaatE. would pot N maintain that it would
be ''pleasqre2 drying to ride to ball.
where onc-haIf Of the money raised would
be used to help the victims of that dread.
Jul disease, but another Key Wester spoke
up in this wise:
IN compact community like Key West why
can't the people walk to the place where the ball
is held? Let assume that 1T will be given IN the
Cuban Clubhouse. that would msan walk each
way. of only mile or so for residents whose
homes farthest away from the club. And what's
c mile walk?
A walk Of mile, in the old days, was
looked upon as "no,hing," but things are
different now. Habit makes changes IN our
attitude toward walking and everything
else The late Arthur Brisbane said we are
becoming a nation of riders, and that in a
few centuries our legs will be almost worth
less, 30 far as extended walking is con-
cerned. ''"H"' S''''''"|'
Further, he remarked that if IMbmenl
continued to wear high heel shoest4 their
toes eventually will be merged" Chow
,org it wuold require for that TO happen,
he did not say and they would have hOoves.
ike those Of horse, and not feet. However,
hat may be- it would be painful task in
iced for women in tight-fitting, high-heel-
ed shoes to walk a mile to the clubhouse
and then walk a mile back home, after
having danced for few hours.
So, all in all, while Mr.. Lucas did not
say anything about the walking of women
to and from dance, his proposal that some
other form of observing the Presidents
birthday this year be adopted, probably is
we'll taken. And if his choice and that OF
the committee he will name falls ON War
Bonds, it is the best possible alternative.
To dance or not to dance is the ques-
ton the committee will settle Thursday
night.

RECIPE FOR COOPERATION"

Mr. Raymond Clapper a so-called
Washington cOlumnist, is intrigued with
the splendid cooperation that has. develop
ed between the acknowledgements of the
War Department tahd .iRdustry.eee
He even suggests that '.other governs
ment ageneiescould kafa from The way
ordnance y red Industry have, organized 20
work together" <sN1M
It's cinch; the ordnance department
has billions of dollars to spend and the
money is put on the line. Industry responds
to money stimulus as rat seeks cheese.
The formula for the know-how OF
work together so far as other govern
mental agencies are concerned, is simple.
just let Congress vote them few billions
to spend and the work together will devel-
op, with industry cooperating as long as
the moRey-bag holds out

MIR. BANNELL OPENS:i In post
war America the organized strike
and lockout should not be revived!
They must be prohibited by law. We
know our democracy, based on the
& premise might does not make right"
is on trial Democracy will still be
on trial after the war. We will have
seen the collapse Of the concept
might makes right"
To revert to pre-war methods Of
settling grievances through the eco
nonic leverage Of strikes and lock-
outs Is to prove we have gained little
from the terrible experiences Of this
war
Once the grievances Of manage
ment and labor have been established
they should be referred to an impair
tial Individual or tribunal, mutually
agreed upon. The arbitrator, or tri-
bunal, should have authority to make
final determination Of the dispute. If
the parties cannot agree on this pro-
cedure of voluntary arbitration the
law should compel them to plead
their cases before judicial body
with power to enforce the award.
This is the peaceful method. Man.
agement and labor should resort to
it ast a definite example we have
learned might does not make right"
We cannot convince beaten, bewil-
dered peoples Of the world we are
capable of leadership unless our own
house is in order.
PROF. MUM CHALLENGES: It is
because believe in democracy that
I oppose legislation to outlaw strikes
and lock-outs. Neither England nor
America in this war has found it
necessary to prohibit by law either
strikes or lock-outs. II such legisla-
ton, which is advocated by my oppo-
nent, is desirable during peace it
clearly should be even more desir-
able while the nation is fighting for
its very existence. Actually, one of
the issues of this war is the right of

lectively for wages, hours and work.
ing conditions. No such right exists
in the totalitarian countries; these
are democratic institutions.
MR.. BANNELL REPLIES: The
right of workers to organize and bar
gain collectively for wages, hours and
working conditions is unquestioned.
These rights are truly democratic.
The right to collectively enforce de-
mands by force, through the strike
or lockout, and thereby dismiss the
orderly methods of adjudication, is
not democracy. Legislation compell-
ing disputants to place their griev-
ances before an impartial tribunal
when voluntary methods have failed,
is most desirable in war or in peace.
Victory gained by strike or lockout
is not proof that the side which lost
is wrong, or the side which won is
right. It merely demonstrates the
theory-"mfght makes right"

PROF. MUM OPENS: Admittedly,
strikes and Iock-outS are wastefuf Of
economic resources; are destructive
Of community values; breed danger
GUS forms Of class warfare Even so,
I cannot agree they should be pro-
hibited by law in the postwar world.
One cannot outlaw differences Of
opinion. Since these differences are
going to continue, those who argue
for legislation to outlaw strikes gen.
orally wish to see established some
form Of compulsory arbitration cen
tering around Industrial Relationship
Courts. The picture usually given is
that the participants Of a dispute
appear before impartial judges and
plead their respective cases around
chancery rail; finally they are re-
quired by law to abide peacefully by
the decision. However persuasive this
may sound, the whole idea rests upon
assumptions which are alien to our
economic and political institutions.
Wages, hours, seniority clauses, work.
ing conditions, policies Of hiring and
firing-and all other controversial
issue-in the field of industrial re-
lationsf1ips-will be established by
law under any such system of COM
pulsory arbitration In my opinion,
this is industrial autocracy. I favor
the extension Of existing mediatior
and arbitration agencies on the fed,
eral, state, and local levels, short of
compulsory arbitration. because /
think such plans lead to industrial
democracy.
MIR. BANNELL CHALLENGES:
Professor Mum indicates adherence
for establishing standards Of wages.
hours and working conditions. Stand
ards such as these must be inevitably
set anyway if we are to enjoy indus
trial peace. A final determination of
grievances arising between unions

versy to an impartial body-be

PROF. MUM REPLIES: Over the
last two decades this country has
been evolving an industrial relations
policy. 1t does not call for the set
ting Of wages, hours and working
conditions by government. The gov
eminent merely determines MINI
MUM standards, and says the actual
standards are to be set by collective
bargaining between unions and EN-
ployers. The job of government is to
maintain a balance through such laws
as the Norris-LaGuardia Act, the
National Labor Relations Act, etc. l:

Iheard Mayor A1bury, Mr.. Free

the interest of the taxpayers by
trying to let some interested pri-
vate citizen operate said service,
thereby relieving the city and the

den on their overtaxed shoulders.
heard Mr.. Carabalo the last
