Officials Liable
For Lobor Pepper

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 (LPA)
Union officials may be sued
individually for damages result
ing from union activities, the
u. S. Circuit Court of Appeals
for Illinois ruled last week, but
labor lawyers contend that the
U. S. Supreme Court will throw
out the decision if it ever reach
es the top tribunal.
The Illinois ruling came in
a $1,000,000 libel suit brought
by the Pullman-Standard Car
Manufacturing Co. against seven
officials of the United Steel
workers-CIO. The company
charged that it was libeled in a
union paper, The Keel, in Feb
ruary, 1914. The Keel declared
that a series of daily press ads
by the company on its income
: and costs was a waste of pa
per during the wartime paper
shortage.
Avery Again
An unpublicized angle to the
case came to light when it was
revealed here that one of the
members of the board of direc-
tors of Pullman-St Standard is
Sewell Avery, chairman of
Montgomery Ward and the ma
tion's number one labor-hater.
Leo Goodman, labor lawyer
and Washington representative
of the United Retail, Whole
sale & Dept Store Employees
CIO, declared that the decision
of the Illinois Court is another
step in the legal harrassment of
labor unions concocted by
Sewell Avery. At recent hear
ing Avery's counsel said, ELet's
remember that the courts are
established by the law, not by
the people"

In Conference
Still Looking

WAS HIN G TON D. c. -
! (LPA) - Definite disagreement
on several basic issues marked
the completion of two weeks
work by the Labor Management
Conference here last week.
Labor rejected industry's ap-
proval of the following policy
statements: Cd Unions should be
controlled and their responsible
ity set by law; (2) Unions, un-
der the Wagner Act, should be
regulated by the government;
(3) Unions hould abandon their
rights under the Sherman Anti
trust law to immunity; (4) IN
ions hould be compelled to post
bonds guaranteeinga no-strike
contracts; 50 Unions should
agree that suit may be filed
against them, and by them
against management, for viola
tions of contracts prohibiting
strikes or lockouts.
Management COOls
A proposal by management
for fact-finding boards in labor
disputes called for the collection
of data, but management repre-
sentatives cooled on the idea
when labor members asked that
the boards be given the power to
investigate profits and the abili-
ty of employers to pay requested
pay hikes.
In a committee considering
jurisdictional disputes union
representatives expressed willing
ness to settle inter-union dis
agreements by voluntary meth
ods, but management insisted on
new laws which could be used,
according to several labor lead
erS, to Shackle many union ac-
tivitieS.
Chamber of Commerce Presi-
dent Eric Johnston said the fact
finding idea would call for the
various state governors of Presi-
dent Truman, if necessary, to ap-
peal to the court to set up the
fact-finding group when collec-
tive bargaining and Cancellation
failed. The management pro-
posal would give the groups 80
days to make their findings pub
lie and after that strikes would
be barred for 10 days.

Price Relief Demands
InVuIid

WASHINGTON NPA) - The
steel companies of the country
had the last props pulled out
from under their refusal to bar
gain collectively with the United
Steel Workers of America-CIO
last week. The steel firms had
put up solid front of opposition
t any consideration of the un-
ions So basic pay raise demand
until OPA acted on their re-
quests for higher prices for steel
products.
Last week, OPA stated cat
egorically that it finds no cause
at this time for a general in
crease in steel prices"

What Do
You Do!
By Ruth Taylor

Don't you dislike people who
always say things in a positive
tone? l know one person who
prefaces most remarks with a
definite There isn't a doubt
about it," Frankly, even when
l agree with him, I find an ar
gument on the other side.
There's danger in being too
definite. If you "This-or else, ="
the chances are that it will be
cor else" The word danger, you
know, is derived from domi-
narium, the Latin word for
domination.
l don't mean you must ap-
pease those to whom you speak.
There's lot of difference be-
tween appeaSing and compromis-
ing or even conceding. Only
those who are willing to live in
complete isolation, to withdraw
from the world can avoid doing
one of the three.
To appease is to placate, or
to pacify. To compromise is to
adjust or settle by mutual con-
cessions, or by a partial Surren-
der of claims, purposes or prin-
ciples. To concede is to allow
as a right, to assent or acquieSce
in the propriety or truth of, to
admit.
NEVER APPEASE
Never appease - when ap-
peasement means giving up a
principle-but do appeaSe when
it is a question of speaking fairly
and calmly. A soft answer
turneth away wrath, and a
pleasant way of speaking averts
antagoniSm.
Compromise only on material
things. And then do not COM
promise with another persons
rights or freedoms. Be willing
to give up advantages but nego-
tiate from strength not weak
ness, and never at other peo-
pies expense.
Concede-yes - when conces-
sions are in order. Always be
willing to concede the rights
of other people to be the same
as your own. But do not con-
cede your own ideas of right
nor your own rights.
Admiral Hart is quoted as the
author of a prayer which sums
it all up. Dear God, give us
strength to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be chang
ed. Give as courage to change
the things that can and should
be changed. And give us wis
dom to distinguish one from the
other"
All of this is on a personal
basis, it is true, but it is only
as we learn first to apply rules
of conduct to ourselves can they
form the basis of rules of con-
duct for group or a nation.
II we, as individuals, learn
to act toward our fellow men in
the proper spirit, then can we
as peoples enter into the full ex-
ercise of freedom which is the
right of all men.

WASHINGTON. March 10
Mayor Jeffres today told the Sem

posed legislation for a national
postwar airport program would

Carren measure was the best of

as municipalities were concerned.
