LabOr'S PyrrIlic Victory

bridge which Mr. Petrillo had set up
in the name of his union, have SUI
pinely agreed to pay the union
royalty on each disk sold.
This may indeed become profit
able by product for the union, and
may create a colossal pot of gold for
financing political activity or for
enabling ambitious union leaders to
feather their own nest.
In announcing the surrender of
the businessmen, James w. Murray,
general manager of R. G. A.-Victor,
made this significant admission:
an uiew of Mr.. Petrillo's decision
not to accept 'he order OF the War
Labor Board and the request of the
President to obey the boards order,
Ue had no alternative but to meet
the demands of M. Petrillo that We
make direct payments to the unions
treasury, or to abandon our record
business, lDhich would haze resulted
in losses to the public, our employees
and artists, our dealers and stock
holders"
Thus the high nuisance value
which Mr.. Petrillo has made for him
self by taking advantage of existing
law and public sentiment is conceded.
1t is apparent that a double
standard of morality has been de-
veloped.
Labor leaders are being permitted
to restrain trade with impunity,
whereas businessmen are subject to
indictment and civil penalties for
similar activities.
Since the popular will wants this
to be a government of law, not of
men, it is apparent that such infrac-
tons will in time react against the
legitimate unions carrying on So
cially useful functions in genuine col
lective bargaining.

A MERICANS are conspicuous for
"A their love of fair play.
Unlike citizens of old world coun-
tries, Americans loathe being pushed
around.
Americans are intolerant of ex-
ploitation.
When labor baiters and sweat
shop keepers attempt to take advan-
tage of workingmen, the American
conscience is outraged.
Indecency and exploitation, holD.
euer, are no more acceptable to the
plain people of the United States
uDhen accomplished under the protec-
tue cloak of labor organization.
In the circumstances, it behooves
the genuine friends of American
workingmen to warn against the dis
service to the labor cause of indi-
viduals, such as James G. Petrillo,
president of the American Fedora,
tion of Musicians, who has misused
the protection given under the Wag-
ner Act to bona fide trade unions to
set up a private toll collecting
agency.
In the face of contrary orders
from the War Labor Board and a
request from President Roosevelt,
Mr.. Petrillo has compelled the en-
ployers to dance to his tune.
He has won a victory, but, since
no questions are ever settled until
they are settled right, it seems to us
that it is indeed a pyrrhic victory.
BECAUSE the employers have at
u length surrendered to his de
mands, Mr.. Petrillo lifts the blockade
which he set up against making
musical recordings. Three leading
companies, not wanting to wait
longer in idleness at the private toll

Mr.. WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST:
T AM happy to learn that the William Randolph
Hearst National Award again is being spon-
sored in the high schools of the nation. The i'm
portance of the study of American history cannot
be stressed too strongly in these days when the
boys fresh from our schools are writing new and
glorious chapter in the history of America. | am
sure that one reason for the unequaled bravery
that has been displayed by our young American
soldiers and sailors lies in the lessons they learned
in school of the sacrifices made for America by our
fighters in other wars.
The William Randolph Hearst National Amer
lean History Award proved valuable stimulus to
many young Americans last year and | am sure
that it will be even more successful this year.
