Cold Water to Heat Houses

LEWIS AND FDR

In later years, Lewis has taken a lot of credit for section "A, the NRA clause which makes it com pulsory for an employer to bargain with a union. However, it was not Lewis but Phil Murray who sold this to Roosevelt
 In 1892, with the miners in mis- cry and the union treasury down to around $50,000, Lewis refused to go to Albany to call on Franklin Roosevelt, then Governor of New York. Having warmly supported his friend Herbert Hoover in the past, Lewis sulked in his Indian apolis headquarters and let Phil Murray, then vice president of the Miners, lead a delegation to AL bany alone. Roosevelt promised Murray to put miners problems near the top of his work list, and later fulfilled his pledge.
 Meanwhile, when Roosevelt visit ed Indianapolis for a campaign speech, Lewis even refused to ac- company Murray and shake hands with the Democratic candidate. ln- formed of this FDR laughed and said John is still a Republican, see"
 It was not until after Roosevelt was elected and Phil Murray made a pest election pilgrimage to Lewis's nome in Springfield, III, that the mine Toss finally consented to come to Washington for a talk about miners problems.
 Roosevelt and Lewis were never Cl intimate terms and it was in- eVitable that they should break inevitable, also, perhaps from 1ewis's makeup, that the break should come when FDR needed the rhine leaders support the most, when the nation was on the thresh- | hold of war.
 The fact is that John L. Lewis could never be on intimate terms wi5h anyone bigger than himself. The half million dollars he donated to the Democrats from the dues of mine workers Lewis considered a personal bargaining fund-at least this was indicated by the number Of times he threw it up to Roose- welt before they broke.
 Be that as it may, it was not long after Roosevelt came into o1- ice that Lewis had his organizers securing Pennsylvania and West Virginia telling the miners:
 The President wants you to sign up with the union.'

Hopes for settlement this week of the maritime strike now running in it's third month are dlmmeo with the report that the Checkers union has score that must be settled before the ships begin to move
 However the big hurdle is cleared with agree ments reached between the operators and the long shoremen and engineers Deck officers are still pick eting but it is probable that these men will vote to accept the operators offer.
 According to the operators, the dispute with the checkers involves the right of the operator to designate how many men are needed particular job

United Mine Workers.

United Mine Workers
 Reason behind all this was that the Lewis Hoover plan simply did rot work. The mine operators, supposed to hire union men at S750 per day in the profitable mines. hired non-union men for less in both the profitable and un- profitable mines.
 Lewis lost membership by the thousands. Union dues dropped to a mere. trlckle. His treasury was almost bankrupt.
 The trouble was that he had no monopoly weapon to hold over the mine operators. They could hire union or ncn-union miners just as they pleased This monopoly pro- vision was what the Roosevelt ad- ministration gave him later-des- pite the fact that Lewis at first was too stubborn to see what was in store for him.

NATURAL GAS vs. LEWIS

When it cones to an immediate weapon against John L. Lewis, however, the U. s. Government has the best in the world right in it's own hands. It is the two war built Big Inch and Little Inch pipelines, constructed to carry oil from Texas to the East coast dur ing the submarine peril, and now lying idle for two long years.
 Several private companies have bid for these pipelines, proposing to bring millions of cubic feet of natural gas now going to waste in Texas to the factories and homes of the industrial East. The pipelines could be converted in thirty days possibly less. And they constitute the only real weapon the nation has against Lewis It is the only thing that makes him lose sleep at night. He knows that natural gas brought to the industrial East would knock his fat flow of union dues approximately in half, Even more important, he knows that the next time he tried to paralyze the nation, only one-half could be paralyzed The rest would thrive on natural gas.
 Yet the pipelines remain idle. LEWIS AND HERBERT HOOVER
 Only once in his long years of swaggering across the American stage has Lewis faltered in his stride. That was during the Hoov- CT depression shortly before Frank In Roosevelt's pro-labor laws pick cd Lewis up, refilled his treasury, and made him the life e-and-death dispenser Of the black-hlood of the industrial East
 Incidentally, Lewis at first was dead opposed to the pro-labor Roosevelt and it took lot of per suad.ng to hoist him aboard the New Deal bandwagon. Apparently he didn't recognize what bonanza he was in for. At that time, also. Lewis himself had sold Herbert Hoover a phony economic theory which was partly the reason for the coal miners undoing.
 He proposed that the mine op- erators pay a standard wage of S750 per day to all union miners 9 wage at that time so high that uneconomic mines could not afford to operate. Lewis, however, argued that these uneconomic mines should close, and the miners employed in them should move on to other in- 6ustries.
 Hoover, then Secretary of Com nerce in the Coolidge cabinet, liked the idea and sold it to Cool idee. Tn fact, he also tried to sell Coolidge the idea of taking Lewis into his cabinet as Secretary of Labor
 At about that time, however, Lewis faced serious rebellion from within, and barely escaped being busted from union leadership. In fact, his friends in the executive council of the AFL debated drop- ping him in order to prevent fur 5her loss of membership in the
