I TAKE first the case of Fred

to read the names and positions
and records of many. of the
bureaucrats who have wormed
their way into this bureaucratic
setup, in order TO make crystal
clear just what we mean by
irresponsible, unrepresentative,
crackpot. radical burcaucrats.
Schuman is chief political an
alyst of the Federal Commune
cations Commission, at salary
of $1,000 a year.
Schuman is a man of violent
political views. His Communist
affiliations are a matter of pub
lie record. He belonged to the
group which organized itself
under the name OF the League
of Professional Groups for Eos
ter and Ford.
Foster ard Ford were the
Communist candidates for presi-
dent and vice president, respec-
lively. This League of Profess
sional Groups for Foster and
Ford issued a pamphlet. which

name. of Frederick L. Schuman
and others, the following state

I'VE call upon all men and
wOmen-especially workers I'm
the professions and the arts--to
Join I'm the revolutionary strug-
gle against capitalism under the
leadership of the Communist
Party"
There are no ifs, butts or
ands about this statement.
Schuman, the chief political an
alyst of the Federal Commune

and will undoubtedly step up as
a man and admit his participa-
ton in a revolutionary move

the representatives of the miners to
reach an agreeable contract, sub
ject to the jurisdiction of the War
Labor Board, during many weeks of
dilatory proceedings, is an impor-
tant factor in the creation of the
present situation
Without coal in adequate guam
titles we cannot win the war. It
is intolerable that there should be
cessation of work for so much as
one day.
Fixes Responsibility.
Regardless of where the blame
lies for failure to conclude a new
contract between the operators and
the miners, neither group can escape
responsibility for the delay which
necessitated intervention by agencies
of Government, and the president
of the United Mine Workers cannot
escape responsibility for the cessa-
ton of work today.
Il call upon the president of the
United Mine Workers to cause the
members Of the UNIV to return to
their wartime posts of duty. I also
call upon the members of both
groups, each to do within his indi-
vidual capacity, everything neces-
sary to reach speedy conclusion
that will assure a continuous pro-
duction Of coal on normal basis"
The operators, replying, said, I'VE
do not feel that we can accept any
responsibility for the delays which
necessitated intervention by agen-
cies Of government. This RESPONSE
bility is that of the United Mine
Workers. who has refused to recog-
nize the wage stabilization policies
of the Government as reflected in
the laws of the United States and
executive orders of the President" ;"

mittee of the Communist party said

Browder, general secretary of the
party, and George z. Foster, COM

miners to return to work and said
they must choose between their
country and John L. Lewis

gram he said he had sent the Presi-
dent, urging him to direct John l.
Lewis to call off the coal strike at
once" He added he was confident
that tremendous majority Of the
patriotic labor movement will sup
port such decisive action"
In Atlanta. the public, labor and
industry members of the Fourth

new strikes would follow surrender
to the threat of force and called
on Mr.. Roosevelt to make clear
there would be no yielding" to Mr.,

Lack Of Firmness
In Mine Strike Hit
By Senator Byrd
Says U. 5. Asks Whether
Lewis or President
Is the Boss

Senator Byrd, Democrat, Of Vir-
ginia, discussing the coal strike this
afternoon, declared millions Of
Americans are asking who is boss"
Of the United States. John L. Lewis
or President Roosevelt.
"On May 2 President Roosevelt
delivered a solemn warning to the
Nation calling for the resumption Of
coal mining and the stoppage of all
strikes in defense industries" said
the Virginian. His words were
brave and the principles he
enunciated were of the highest
patriotism. Using his powers as
Commander in Chief he took over
the mines. The American flag was
hoisted. He appointed Secretary
Ickes to take charge. The Ameri-
can people then believed that at
last the administration intended to
come to grips with John L. Lewis.
Ickes Speaks Softly.
Twice before John L. Lewis had
won victories over the administra-
ton. The average citizen said that
Harold l.. Ickes was a tough guy
and he would tell John L. Lewis
where to get off, but so far Mr..
Ickes has spoken very softly and
made rather humble requests of Mr..
Lewis to resume the mining of coal.
THE strongest condemnation of
Mr.. 1ckes has yet made of Mr.. Lewis
was last night when he said, the
President of the United Mine Work.
ers cannot escape the responsibility
for the cessation of work today
Mr.. Lewis was not even mentioned
by name.
What hidden power has John L.
Lewis so that he, and he alone can
defy the Government of the United
States in an hour of the greatest
peril this Nation has ever faced?
Can anything be more destructive
of the morale of those American
boys who are fighting and dying on
many foreign battlefields? Has the
American flag which now flies over
the coal mines of America lost its
power and prestige?"
Could Have Been Prevented.
Senator Byrd declared that if the
Smith labor control bills passed by
the House before the attack on Pearl
Harbor had become law 1t is not
likely strikes could have occurred.
He charged that this legislation
was smothered in the Committee on
Education and Labor on the direct
request of the President and OF
Nine. Perkins"
The Virginia Senator recalled that
two months ago he introduced a
work or fight bill applying to
essential industries and that "imme-
diately the various departments of
the Government opposed this legis-
lation saying that it would be harm
full to national morale to require
those to fight who have refused to
work and produce materials for
those who were fighting.

PORTLAND, Me-. June 2.-Lord
Halifax, British Ambassador, said
today that while "it is not our
business to express opinions on

rally we deplore anything that
holds up the war effort, just as
you and your Government would
deplore anything we did in Eng
land to retard war progress"

for a visit, was in response to a
question in an interview with the
Evening Express regarding the cur
rent coal walkout.
He ended his comment on the
coal-labor situation by saying: eve
have had no authorized strikes in
England since 1940."
The Ambassador declared the
critical gasoline shortage in the
East was not necessarily tied up
with a new offensive" This, he
said, was 'purely personal opin-
ion.
Asked his opinion regarding how
soon an invasion of Europe might
be expected, he said "it is the policy
Of our staffs Omitted States and
British to keep the enemy fighting
at all times"
Where they fight" he added, "is
matter for the military and naval
officials to say"
He added, however, that the stop
ping of hostilities in North Africa

ventures"

as possible off Russia on the one
