tives.
The Democratic party cannot wir
IN a national election without the
labor vote and that vote was washed
out on Saturday. True, there are
millions OF laboring men and wom-
en-, millions of organized laboring
men and women who did not ap-
prove of the railroad strike: who
felt that even a fight for labor's
rights should not be carried to the
point of producing national chaos;
indeed, there are some hundreds OF
thousands of railroad workers who
felt that way. Their state of mind
had been one of puzzlement: What
to do in situation that prevented
the use of labor's principal weapon
They looked to the President for a
solution. They hoped, perhaps, for
a miracle.
Action Will Be Remembered.
What they got was a threat on
Friday night to call out the Army
against the strikers and a request
on Saturday for authority to draft
the strikers into the Army.
The Presidents action, of course,
was much more involved than that,
but by November that is how it will
be remembered by labor. The justi-
f1cation for his action given by the
President may have been suffi-
cient in the face of the country's
industrial paralysis-it was suffi-
cient to win the votes of Congress
members who have consistently sup
ported the cause of labor-but in the
months to come the action will be
remembered and the justification
largely forgotten.
The real justification, of course,
Is that life in America would break
down completely if the railroads re-
NAMED idle. Labor. including most
railroad labor, understands that.
But labor doesn't quite understand
the other justification, the fact that
striking after the Government had
seized the railroads was striking
against the Government" The work.
ers do not regard the Government
as the employer in any real sense.
Government ownership hasn't ar
rived. The workers get their orders
and their pay from the same people
as before. It's not like working for
the Post Office or some other branch
Of the Government. So, rightly or
wrongly, the workers are disposed
10 think that labor is somehow being
tricked when it is made a crime to
strike against the Government"
even when the Government, to their
way of thinking, isn't really the
employer. ,.-.
A Condition, Not a Theory.
All this enters into labor's resent
ment and will find expression at the
polls.
For his part, the President has
been up against condition. not a
theory. He had to take drastic ac-
ton and any such action was bound
to seem directed against labor.
One thing he could have done, to
give his action a different color, he
did not do. He could have coupled
with his demand on Congress for
antistrike against the Govern
ment) legislation, a demand that
Congress act also on legislation
he had previously urged aimed at
furthering. the welfare of labor gen.
orally. Never before had he had
such an opportunity to spell out
and drive home some of the basic
causes of labor's discomfort. Never
again is he likely to have such an
opportunity.

| Bratton Close 10 Top
Lightweight After
Rout Of Joyce
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

CHICAGO, Nov. IA 19-year-old
Chicago Negro lad, who started box
ing at the age of IA because he
loved the sport, stands out today as
the most dangerous challenger for
the world lightweight championship.
The youngster is Johnny Bratton,
Ia graduate from Golden Gloves
amateur competition just two years
ago. He's a natural.
Bratton, possessed with q spit
fire left hand, thrilled an assem-
blage of 9,042 in the Chicago Sta
dium last night by defeating the
No. ! challenger, Veteran Willie
Joyce, Gary, Ind, in major light
weight upset. The action, without
q clinch throughout the 10 rounds
was so furious that the fans, who
paid a gross gate Of $39, ,067, were in
an uproar all the way.
Previously, Joyce, 28. an eight
year campaigner in three divisions
generally was conceded to possess
the best left jab in the sport. He
discovered that Bratton, a cagey
boxer with exceptional hitting pow
ers, owns one that is just split Sec
ond faster-the spit-fire.
Joyce was the aggressor during
the first seven rounds. He moved
in constantly, but this was just what
Bratton wanted. AS a result, Joyce
was out-jabbed and outscored in
the frequent furious exchanges. Try
as he did, Joyce. who weighed 1891
to 1864 for Bratton, was able to
score with only couple of dam
aging blows.
AS result Of his victory, Bratton
will box Beau Jack, the Georgia
shoeshine boy, in the stadium No.
vember Is in a 10-rounder.
