THE -
CHERRY TREE
Where with eur Little Hatchst We tell
the truth absut many things, sometimes
profoundly, Sometimes aippantly. some
times reeklessly.

1t is a trait of organized labor and
it's spokesmen that labor is right
every time.
No publicist or spokesman ever
admits an error or confesses mistake
in policy.
There was a time when business
followed that policy. AS a matter of
fact it followed that policy until it
had its knuckles raped so many
times that finally the pain of it began
to indicate that there might be les
son to be learned.
Then began the upsurge of the fam
lily Of public relations men, employed
to tell business, first how to make
mistakes, and secondly, how to admit
mistake with such flourish of gen.
erosity that the mistake seemed like
the act of hero.
Labor still clings to the old and
goshawful tattered idea that there are
no mistakes, consequently none to
admit.
In 1914 this is indeed sloppy think
ing.
Labor does make mistakes. 1t
couldn't be otherwise. Labor makes
some pretty bad mistakes, just as
business has made some pretty bad

This isn't scolding. 1t isn't giving
the enemy ammunition. 1t is an effort
to show to labor's own ranks couple
of facts about things within it's own
house which had better be corrected.
If business is affected with public
interest and is therefore subjected to
certain restraints, isn't it wise for la
Dor to at least conduct itself as if
there were public interest that
might in time be taught to misinter-

pref labor in such way as to lead to
a demand for restraints?
Why in the wide world must labor
men be so darned blind to a sand
storm coming that they can't see that
we aren't living in the 20's?
In the 20's there were only one or
two men who could be called expert
labor reporters on the nations news
papers, to fairly and intelligently re-
port labor news.
Today there are dozens Of them
and that, boys and girls, is one thing
that makes the whole picture differ
ent. 1t might be good idea for some
of the cellar strategists to come up
for air and take look around in day.

things away when they go haywire.
They are not allowed to do otherwise.
Out of such situations grow de-
mands for legislation, some of which
have been rather heated in these last
few months.
If we get labor draft before this
war ends, labor itself will be as much
responsible as any other part Of the
population.

Stock Market Turns
Down in Afternoon;
Dealings Pick Up
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK. Feb. 3.-Profit tax
ing in the rails and selling elsewhere
put a fair sized dent in today's
stock market after an early attempt
at selective recovery failed to follow
through.
Prices generally suffered their
sharpest tumble after noon and, at
the worst, declines running to a
point or more were widespread.
Volume picked up on the retreat.
There was a slow down in the
final hour when eextreme losses
were trimmed here and there.
There were isolated strong spots at
the close Transfers for the full
proceedings were around 1000 900
shares
Various factors were blamed for
the reaction. Among these was the
new Russian move in announcing a
federal republics plan, the Willkie
speech demanding much higher
taxes and the desire of customers
for more or less clean states pend
ing outcome of Far Pacific battles
and European war developments.
Earnings hopes remained as props
for individual issues.

Miami Herald, Editor
To Appeal Contempt
l0f Court Sentences
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 20.-The Miami
Herald and its associate editor, John
D. Pennekamp, planned today to
appeal promptly a court decision
which found them guilty of con-
tempt of court for publishing two
editorials and cartoon criticizing
court proceedings.
The decision was handed down
Monday bv Circuit Court Judges
Paul D. Barnes and Marshall c..
Wiseheart, who levied fines of 81 900
against the newspaper and $3.50
against the editor.
Mr.. Pennekamp said the decision
would be appealed promptly to the
Florida Supreme Court, mot only
in behalf Of the Miami Herald but
in behalf of the basic rights of free
speech and a free press generally"
Commenting on the judges ac-
ton Mr.. Pennekamp said, "The
decision, under the cirmustahces,
was what we expected in this court.
The jurists, in their order. re-
peated an accusation made in a
November 10 contempt citation that
the Herald and Mr.. Pennekamp
had made an unfair and untrue
report of court proceedings" and
false imputations against the court
and its judges"
rs 1t expecting too much of the
press to require Of 1t that when it
seeks to impugn judicial acts that
it not make untrue and unfair re-
ports as basis for its attack" the
jurists asked in their order. 1--WE
think not"
Mr.. Pennekamp said the Herald,
after investigation, had pointed out
that criminals and lawbreakers were
protected under a maze of legal
technicalities.
I'VE asked, in the interest of
civic decency, that this situation
be remedied, and expected the
judges to take the lead to that
end. Instead, they decided that
our stand was contemptuous of
them" he added.
At a hearing November %, Elisha
Hanson, general counsel for the
American Newspaper Publishers AS
sociation, assisting local attorneys
in defending the Herald, argued the
Herald had the right to comment
on matter which was printed in its
news columns.
