AN ABUSE OF POWER?
milwaukee JournaD

There is increasing reaction against
what the public believes is the abuse of
power by labor unions. The reaction
has shown itself in legislation in Con-
gress-both proposed and passed 1t
has cropped out in at least a dozen States
where laws have been passed defining
and in some cases, curbing labor'S rights.
The support for these laws has come
from those who believe in unions but
think they have become too arrogant in
their attitude and have abused their
powers, and from those who are frankly
enemies of union labor and would smash
tiff they could.
Conspicuously lacking has been any
effective leadership from labor's ranks
to clean up the sore spots, to stop the
abuses, to convict the small minority of
racketeers and crookS-in short, to I'M
prove unions and to improve the labor
laws.
Not only has there been no leadership
from labor's top men in this direction,
but there has been consistent opposition
to all major attempts to rectify existing
abuses. This has further changed public
opinion to the point that many an aver
age fair-minded person has listened with
increasing sympathy to the enemies of
labor.
1t would be remarkable if the public
had not inclined toward this state of
mind, 1t has noted the scandalous rec
ord of George Scalise, eX-convict and now
a convict again, who made his money
from the sweat of scrubwomen and labor
ers in a union he dominated. The fair
minded average citizen has seen the rack
eteering George E. Browne sit as vice
president of the AFL. The public has
noted that no high AFL official helped
expose the rottenness of Mr.. Browne, or
of his pal in the shakedown of the motion
picture industry, Willie Bioff, who as
convict, now retells the whole sordid
story at trial of still other pals.
The public knows that most union la
Dor is sound. 1t knows that most union
ism is honest. But it can't understand
why union leaders, almost to man.
resist efforts to correct abuses by law
1t can't understand why. when an honest
labor leader such as David Dubinsky,
rose to ask a resolution to clean out
racketeers, he was punched in the nose
at an AFL convention.

Before War old

official documents Of the state de-
partment on the Tutuila incident,
which will be included in a white
paper, Foreign Relations of the
U. S. with Japan, l93l-4l' to be
published soon.
JAPS UPSET
The documents, consisting of tele-
grams between U. S. Ambassador to
Japan Joseph C. Grew and the state
department, showed that the Japa-
nese were extremely upset over the
incident and professed to be ready
to go to great lengths to avoid war
at that time.
The Japanese navy' minister in
sisted it was an accident, though
three American officials watching
from a nearby hill were certain it
was deliberate. The minister told
Grew through an aide that the
japanese navy would do everything
possible to prevent a war between
the United States and Japan
From this concern rose an apollo
gy for the bombs which fell near
the Tutuila, causing some damage
but no casualties, premise to pay
for all damages, and secret assur-
ance that bombing of Chungking
would cease.
The Japanese were very emphatic
about the promise being kept conf
Dental and when the United States
accused them of reSuming the bomb
mg-which the japanese admitted
replied thusly:
In WaShington-that the prom
i. ise had been merely to cease bomb
ing the city area temporarily" and
not Indefinitely, condition the
japanese claimed had been made
clear to Undersecretary of State
Sumner WelleS who made the secret
agreement
He concluded with the intimation
that the United States had inform
ed the Chinese. Said the japanese
foreign minister: -. It is unthink-
able that the United States gov
ernment would communicate such
information to the Chungking gov
ernment However, very dangerous
situation would arise if any third
party should inform Chungking,
and if the fact that Chungking had
been so informed. should become
known III Japan
Secretary Of State Cordell Hull
replied to Japan that information
about the secret agreement had
been conveyed only to Grew and
to the American ambassador in
,Chungking, and to them only "in
Strict confidence"

BRkWLEY LEADS AGAIN

The War Chest drive is well underway
and it appears that Brawley will again
take the lead in a public-spirited cam
paign.
The city in the north end of Imperial
Valley was the first to achieve its quota
in the third war loan just completed and
now seems to be we'll on the way to
achieving another equally noteworthy OBJ
jective.
The third war loan was to provide
money to obtain weapons for our men to
use in winning the war. The War Chest
drive is designed to raise money to re-
lieve the suffering which years of war
have brought upon the earth.
While we must defeat the enemy at
all costs we must also be ready to ex-
tend hand of mercy to the suffering
millions.
Brawley had raised almost half of its
announced goal in the War Chest drive
even before it was officially underway.
The citizens of that city realize the
Importance of the work to be done, which
will also include training for our own
youth and relief for needy Americans
in this country.
