Government to Appeal.
Judge Sullivan's decision was in
the nature of first round in the
legal controversy because Attorney
General Biddle said previously that
the Government would appeal if it
lost.
Millions of young Americans are
fighting and dying on all of the bat
tlef1elds of the world, and thousands
of families are daily saddened by
the heart-breaking news that their
loved ones have made the supreme
sacrifice" Judge Sullivan said. "Our
hospitals are filled with manned and
wounded physically and mentally i'll
who are back from the war"
The jurist added that ut may
well be that an interruption at this
time in the flow of any goods may
directly or indirectly affect our
armed forces, thereby resulting in
added loss of life or in prolonging
the war. AS good American citizens
none of us want that to happen.
"The peacetime privilege of en-
gaging in prolonged labor disputes
should be voluntarily suspended for
the duration. A tribunal has been
established to accomplish peaceful
settlement of labor disputes during
the war emergency.
Loyalty to our country and our
fighting forces should influence
disputants in such labor contro-
versies to refrain from waging a
campaign against the use of this
machinery, but rather should lead
them to make every effort to fairly
present their disputes before this
tribunal and then ge guided by its
recommendations, even though no
method is provided for the en-
forcement thereof"
In upholding the company's con-
tention that Wards is not a war
production plant within the mean
ing OF the War Labor Disputes Act,
Judge Sullivan called it "a retail
establishment engaged solely in dis
tribution" and said he did not be-
lieve the term production" in the
act could be defined so as to include
distribution"
He also said the act authorizes the
President to seize a plant or facility
only when it is equipped to produce
articles necessary or useful in the
war effort"
Turning to Inherent presidential
powers, Independent of congressional
acts, Judge Sullivan said that even
in wartime as Commander in Chief
the President "does not have un-
limited power over the persons and
property of citizens. He may not
seize private property just because
it might be useful or beneficial to
the. armed forces"
'The constitutional guarantees
that protect the sacred rights,
liberties and property of American
citizens, from the humblest to the
most exalted, still remain inviolate, !"
the court held. These rights may
not be transgressed with impunity
nor be disregarded because of ex-
pediency; neither may they be
abridged or suspended, even for a
single moment, except in the man.

Way Cleared for New
UNIV Negotiations
For Return 10 AFL
3y the Associated Press,

An exchange of letters between
John L. Lewis and William Green
president of the AFL, appeared to-
DAY to have cleared the way, at least

United Mine Workers return to the

Mr.. Lewis reply to a letter from
Mr.. Green conveying the AFL con-
Ventlon's desire to resume negotia-

OF the miners, it was reported.
The UNIV chief suggested that the
federation might make a proposal
but he had not changed his position
of May II, 1943, when the last nego-
t1at1ons were severed. On that date
he got back the check he deposited
with the AFL as a per capita tax,
submitted with his application for
re-entry in the federation.
The stumbling block then was
jurisdiction over chemical workers.
Mr.. Lewis, since he withdrew from
the CIO and AFL, had built up a
NisolouS chemical workers union IN
his catch-all District so.
The next move would seem to be
up to the AFL Executive Council,
which begins its annual session in
Miami February 5. The council in
cludes Mr.. Green, Secretary-T Treas
urer George Meany, Vice President
Matthew Woll and the presidents
of IL international unions, repre-
senting the top leadership in the

The convention in November ex-
pressed the desire that Mr.. Green
offer the olive branch to Mr.. Lewis
and Mr.. Green complied by notify
ing Mr.. Lewis to this effect in mid
December. Mr. Lewis declined to dis
cuss his reply with newsmen.

Humphrey Says
grOShOuld Be on
Postwar Council

Hubert ID. humphrey, labor en-
dorsed candidate for mayor, in pro-
posing establishment of a Greater
Minneapolis Association this week
recommended inclusion of represen-
tatives of Minneapolis Negro
groups within this new city-wide
agency.
Minneapolis is indeed fortunate
to have within its population a pa
triotic, loyal and highly intelligent
group of Colored people," Hum
phrey said.
"The Negro minority in our city
has seldom been given an oppor-
tunitS to participate on an equal
basis with other groups in the
formulation of public policy and in
particular our postwar plans. At
the same time, the Negro people
have a great stake in the future of
this city.
Ear too often they have been
relegated to the slum areas and
have been the recipients of charity
rather than opportunity"
at is with these thoughts in mind
that recommend for inclusion in a
Greater Minneapolis Association or
Postwar Development Council rep
resentatives of Minneapolis Negro
groups.
"Our city will be all the better for
the leadership and the guidance that
will come from the spokesman and
representatives of our colored popu-
lation."
In proposing the new agency
Humphrey said: Successful plan
ming must have the full knowledge,
consent and cooperation of the en-
tire community, otherwise planning
cannot be responsive to the needs
and desires of democratic people. "
Government alone" he said,
"cannot adequately handle the prob
lem of our postwar development.
We need a community association
composed of representatives of
business, labor, and other social
and economic groups within the
city to participate directly in for
mutation and carrying out of new
community development.
at is recognized that the major
responsibility for city planning and
redevelopment lies with the es-
tablished agency known as the City
Planning Commission. This agency
includes representatives of city,
county, and the public. However,
all programs authorized and
planned by this board are primarily
public in nature and the respon-
sibility of public agencies.
1t is also apparent that there
is great area of urban redevelop-
ment and construction which must
fall to private groups and in
dividuals. To provide coordination
of plans and programs necessary
both on public and private level,
it is important that the private or
ganizations and individuals be Or
ganized into an association, such as
Greater Minneapolis Association.

been needed in Minneapolis. Its
value for wartime has been clearly
demonstrated by the Civilian De-

A letter from Anna Arnold
Hedgeman, executive secretary of
the National Council for a Perma-
nent FEPC, this week praised the
efforts of the Minnesota group
which was sent to Washington re-
Gently to confer with Minnesota
Representatives and Senators.
A letter addressed to T. B. Carey
of Minneapolis and signed by Mrs.
Hedgeman said:
I'VE want you to know that we
in Washington were deeply i'm
pressed by the work of the Mime
sofa delegation of which you were
a member last week. The delegation
was most effective, and by obtain
ing the commitments of Senators
Ball and Shipstead, it performed a
service not only to Minnesota but
to the whole nation. The commit
ments obtained from the Vice Presi-
dent and the Minnesota Representa-
tives, and the other interviews ar
ranged were no less effective, but,
as you know, the Senate situation
is the most critical.
1--WE were heartened by your
promise to redouble your efforts to
convey to the Minnesota Senators
and Representatives the public de-
sire that they exert all possible eff
fort to insure early enactment of
S. 101 and H. R. 2232 with enforce
ment powers. This is essential,
because the opposition is girding its
forces to emasculate these bills
when they reach the floors of the
House and Senate.
Il want to add that we here
learned a lot about how a State
delegation can be most effective,
in observing the procedures and
strategy of your group. We are
suggesting to all subsequent State
delegations that they follow the
excellent pattern you set.
THANK you for coming, for help
ing as you did, and for inspiring
