REQUEST TO THE BOSS

A New York man left will leav-
ing all his money, about $4,000, to
the three members of the firm for
which he had worked for % years Sin
grateful remembrance of the treat
ment accorded me as an employee"
In these days when the boss is so
widely denounced as a "Simon
Legree, an exploiter of his workers,
etc., this becomes almost the NEWS
ITEM OF THE GENERATION.
Employers as whole would forgo
gladly the money if now and then
they could get a similar expression
of kind regard. Never have they
needed anything more.
Can you fancy what a will Of the
following type might do for their
morale?
I, Jarvis P. Withers, being of
sound mind, do hereby declare this
my last will and testament:
1. To the firm of Jones, Brown &
Smith, by which I have been en-
ployed for many years, I give and
bequeath a framed testimonial in
which I declare that, while we had
our disagreements and run-ins, I
never once had the feeling that I
was EXPLOITED; and in which I
further testify that I at no time found
them to be brutal, ruthless, money
mad hounds of hell, imps of Satan
or all-around polecats.
2. To Hilary Jones, senior partner,
I give and bequeath the sum of
$1,000. 1 figure I 1oafed enough on
his time over the years to have cost
him much more money. The days
/ got in late, left early and soldiered
on the job must have meant quite
loss to the firm over the years.
Mr.. Jones was a little aloof, rather
strict and wanted his moneys worth,
but after all he was not a bad egg.
8. To Prentice Brown I give and
bequeath the sum of $500. I never
got to know Prentice very well,
(He never got to know me very
well, either. Looking back, it was
rather nice arrangement, and did
not prove there was anything hell
ishly wrong about either of us).
Although Prentice was reputed to
be of extreme dignity and quite
sourpuss, I once entered his office
when he had announced he was in
conference. found him playing the
harmonica in his shirtsleeves. I
always liked him for it. Then there
was the time we both got into the
elevator an hour late for work and
he didn't look at his watch.
4. To Chidsey Smith I give and
bequeath $500. He never said word
the time we caught each other at
midweek baseball game when both
were supposed to be sick. I recall
many occasions when he might have
fired me and didn't.
5! I order and instruct my ex-
ecutors to state to Messrs. Jones,
Brown & Smith that it is not my
conclusion that all employers are
necessarily inconsiderate, money
pinching Simon Legrees. All my ex-
perience with them leads me to a
conviction that they are at times
human beings. The rumor that Jones
has a cloven hoof is false. I once
saw him with his shoes off. There
has never been anything about
Browns manner to indicate he has
a forket tail and spit liquid flames.
I do not believe that Smith walks
through fire as a hobby. It is my
belief that the firm is not possessed
of devils.

POPULAR SENTIMENT
UNCHANGED

There IS no ground Tor interpret
ing attitude in the nation as a whole
toward CLIO (the last measuring
of popular sentiment nationally
having been reflected in the Mont
gomery Ward case). But those who
make democratic politics their bust
ness have coupled these events with
Mr.. Roosevelt's determination (they
think) to run and have thus pulled
a blanket over their heads, to do
any future business Hereunder.
OF course, CLIO is a minority
Of a minority, the lesser part of
the union labor movement, and
these are thinly voted pri-
maries. What force it could
bring to bear in an election may
be something else again.
For the present, it has at least
100000 and an apparently ruth
less determination to exert its
fullest political pressure (even
opposing at least one demo-
cratic representative who has
voted with labor ON all except
two or three remote issues.)
Mr.. Wallace is a leader of this
group, in the sense that he chooses
to act like a talking custodian for
that residue Of votes while Mr..
Roosevelt is busy with the war.
In dispatching him to China, Mr..
r. said he was ga messenger" not
a high sounding title (others flying
the same route have been called
ambassador" and "emissaries"),
but Mr.. Wallace picked up the title
proudly in a formal statement. He
spoke in the cosmic gradeur Of an
Oriental mystic with such sentences
as:
"The future of China belongs to
the world, and the world in justice
and peace shall belong to China"
whatever that means.
It would appear wiser for Mr..
Roosevelt to stand with Wallace,
but allow the party to fight for
Rayburn or Barley If it chooses.
The president already has the CLIO
which has no place else to 60, but
could gain votes and prestige by
pleasing the democratic party men
who are awe-struck at the posi-
J bility Of Wallace again, but realize
Mr.. Roosevelt has as close or a
closer hold on the democratic dele
gates to this next convention than
he had on the last one when he
nominated Wallace against the
opposition Of every other leader.
Senator Truman Of Missouri, for
instance, came back from Missouri
and publicly announced himself for
Rayburn.
II all this sounds somewhat per-
picking, remember 1t Is not new
Lewis having played the CLIO role
for the second term and the Ameri-
can labor party and CLIO having
played it jointly for the third term
which was similarly silently ap-
proached.) Otherwise, the story Is
still all IN one mans mind, mind
which even Chairman flanagan
and Barley in their speeches are
careful to say they do not know yet.
