Hettrick
Strike Is


Little change was reported by
officials of the Textile Workers
Union on strike for the past two
weeks at the Hettrick Mfg. Co.,
1401 Summit st.
Efforts of the United States
Cancellation Service TO bring
about a settlement satisfactory
to the workers and company

proved fruitless although a
meeting between the two has
been tentatively arranged for
today to discuss the issue.
No headway has been made

was reported yesterday by Ken

julius Lippman, president of the
Textileather Corp. and Law
renee N. Steinberg, state direc-

Issues Of Case
At issue is the failure of the
company to follow the directive
handed down by the War Labor
Board in April of this year
granting wage increases to the
company employees.
Appeal was made by the COM
pany management to the Board
and eventually denied. Denial
of the appeal, however, came
following the end of the war.
The company then claimed that
tne WLB lacked authority to en-
orce its directive and has since
refused to pay the retroactive
pay ordered by the Board and
denied the wage increases order
in the April directive.
Nearly 200 workers are ef-
fected by the work stoppage
which has been authorized by
the Union.

In Review

1T is a sound decision to gov-
ern Germany through mill
tsry governments under the
overall direction OF an Allied
Council. which itself is military.
This is the only safe and sans
plan for meeting the present
situation. An organization OF
civilian authority in Germany
would have been inexperienced
and handicapped.
Almost any people will yield
obedience TO army officers,
whose forces have conquered
them, more willingly and less
sullenly than they Will TO a
foreign civilian authority.
This is particularly true Of
the Germans.
While the governments OF the
four Allied powers concerned
will determine the general poll
-cfes, the Allied Council, with
headquarters at Berlin. will
govern Germany and exercise
all the powers and authority Of
the fallen Reich.
Local authority will be de-
centralized but Will be only
administrative. and entirely SUBJ
Ject to the council

made that the Germany Of
this military government will
be that Of pre-1937 Germany.

THIS is good statement OF
Il the position Of all Of us who
opposed the American Com
munist movement throughout a
long time when Mrs. Roosevelt
appeared to sympathize with
them.
We have never suggested that
American missionaries should
invade Russia 10 con splre
against the established govern
ment and the social and eco
nomic system in force there.
But we have constantly OPP
posed and exposed the persons
and their works who we're, so
to speak. waging communism
in the United States.
1t would have been better If
Mrs. Roosevelt had adopted this
position long ago and mace
herself clear because when two
individuals showed up. by con-
sidered selection. IN positions ot
dangerous power in the original
Labor Relations Board, the rest
of us naturally thought the IN
tention behind their appoint
ment was TO encourage them IN
their mission 10 foment a violent
class war among US.
MRS. ROOSEVELTS article
IVl was provoked by the recent
course OF the organized Com
munists in the United States.
Having suspended their class
war program for the duration
of RuSSiaS war with Germany,
their New York paper printed
a statement amounting 10
party decree. written by
French Communist in France.
which now terminated that
phase of collaboration in our
country and resumed the class
war.
That is a betrayal OF all
Americans who are away fight
ing Japan.
The stated purpose OF mat
war is the violent overthrow OF
our government among others.
Mrs. Roosevelt does not ac-
knowledge this fact IN so many
words but we get the effect
when she says
'It .frightens liz TO see any
group In our midst proposing
10 propagandize instead of CO.
operating where possible and
let people think and act for
themselves. This might lead TO
war at home and abroad"

ingly superior to most Of her
