st. Louis A. F. L.
Backs Strikers

st. Louis (FP)-The st. Louis Cen
tral Trades & Labor Union voted all
out moral and financial support to
nearly 1900 AFL workers on strike
at the John F. Queeny plant of Mon
santo Chemical Co. here after hear
ing report on a terroristic attempt
to break the six-week walkout.
President John Gratz Of Local 16,
International Chemical Work kers'
Union, told delegates about the effort
to smear the strikers with guilt in the
recent bombing Of the homes of two
Monsanto foremen. Following the
bombings Gratz was arrested, held for
20 hours during which he was relent-
lessly grilled, and finally released.
Gratz said that when he asked why
he was being arrested, he was told:
Because you're president of the
union" When another officer of Local
16 called at police headquarters to in
quire about bond for Gratz, he too
was tossed into the lookup.
Throughout the strike the union has
constantly adhered to orderly pro-
cedure, Gratz pointed out. "The union
is cooperating and aiding the police
in their endeavor to find the guilty
persons, as the union and its mem
bers have no motive for malicious
acts Of this kind, since the plant is
entirely closed down by our strike
action" he said. Major issue in the
strike is the demand for a union
shop.

Short Week For
Hotel Workers

New York (FP)-The 4O-hour, s.
day week was established for all the
$4,000 members, except tipping en-
ployees, of the New York Hotel
Trades Council (AFL) who work in
the city's 146 union contract hotels in
an arbitration award handed down
recently.
Wages will remain those prevailing
now for the longer workweek, gen.
orally 48 for men and as for women
hotel workers. The award also gave
pay increases ranging from $1.50 to
$3.50 a week to workers now earning
less than $50 week and to the tip
ping employees.
The reduced workweek and the in
creases mean an estimated wage
raise of about 20 per cent, the union
said. The award is retroactive to
June 1.
A union spokesman said it was one
of the first cases in the history of the
American hotel industry that the 40
hour, 5-day week has been adopted
Effect of the ruling is to establish the
40-hour week for the great majority
of hotel workers in the city.
Under clause in the current union
agreement, which runs until May 81,
1948, the union started negotiating
with the Hotel Association last March
on it's demands for the reduced work.
week, wage adjustments and estab-
lishment of medical center. The is
sues were placed before the Arbitra-
tion Commission last May Is. Arbi-
traitors were a union representative,
management representative and Ed
ward P. Mulrooney, impartial chair
man of the hotel industry.
Plans for setting up medical cen
ter, which would provide free medical
care to hotel workers, are being
worked out by the administrators of
the present New York Hotel Trades
Council-Hotel Association insurance
program. President M. j. Obermeier
of Local 6, largest affiliate of the
council, said establishment of the 40
hour week would prove of tremendous
benefit to the workers and the indus
try.

The Danger Of
Over-Reochinq
By RUTH TAYLoK

One Of the most harmful effects Of
group thinking is its tendency to
create over-reaching ambitions within
the group itself. That is, the group
may start with good idea, worth
while fight for deserved right, but
once this is attained, its members are
not content. They have tasted the
wine of the power Of teamwork, and
they over-reach themselves to 20 out
after privileges. Then, in their search
for power, they, too often, in turn
trample on the rights Of others.
Again and again in history has this
happened, from the Rule of the Ten
in Rome in the year 367 b. C.-and
even before-up to the present time.
There is nothing so intolerant as the
intolerance of those who have fought
their way to power. They have SO
concentrated on their own struggle
that they have been prone to over
look the fact that other people have
to live too.
Up to now one of the great advan-
tages of our republic has been that it
was never static long enough for any
group to keep control too long. The
country was too big, too varied in its
resources, to be anything but fluid.
Founded upon religious freedom, re-
ligious autocracy has never been al
lowed foothold. Not erected upon a
class structure, it has not divided in
to classes-for in each generation
men have found their own level as
individuals, not as group or groups.
The classic phrase is "three genera
tions from shirt sleeves to shirt
sleeves"
Lately, however, there has been an
increasing tendency to separate into
groups, or cliques, governed by ideas.
This trend is definitely dangerous
for any group which claims unique
revelations or political preferment is
divisive influence aiming at physi-
cal, economic or mental domination
over others. 1t is the breeder of dis
sension, intolerance and trouble
among our people.
When Americans put the interests
of their own group before the inter
|ests Of America as whole, they are
setting up in our country the breed
ing grounds for disputes, the like of
which have laid waste Europe for
centuries. Whether those interests be
special concessions for Industry or
special privileges for Labor; whether
they be special consideration for any
religious group or special favors for
any minority, they still spell over
reaching. There is no group whose
record is guiltless in this respect.
Justice for all, equal in its appli-
cation, should be our aim as Ameri-
cans. Before we make a demand, we
should figure out if we are asking
for a favor or right-and if we are
willing that the same right or favor
be granted to everyone. The primary
fallacy in logic is arguing from the
individual to the group.
We are government of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the people.
But we can fulfill our destiny as a
nation only as the individual citizens,
acting not as groups, but as Ameri-
cans, work for the good of all the
people-for all America.

cts certainly shocking, what's 60

Luther asked his father.
Shocking is scarcely strong

"Can we?" asked Little Luther.
We await with eagerness a report
of Secretary of State Byrnes' ex-
planation to the other benighted
United Nations of the super-perfect

of Georgia.
All you have to do there to elect a
governor is make sure he gets fewer
votes than the other fellow but gets
them in the right places.
1t would be interesting to operate
union under the Georgia rules.
The workers would go on strike
every time a majority was against
striking and all the boss would have
to do to assure no strike would be to
get everyone to vote for one. The
guy who couldn't get elected dog
catcher would be president.
Under the same rules, Billy Conn
would be declared worlds heavy
weight champion because he won one
round and the hillbillies all thought
he was the best man.
Joe Louis would have lost, anyway,
because a champion couldn't succeed
himself, as Governor Arnall of Geor-
gia discovered.

to see the day when wages catch up

Chicago (FP)-While heads of the
Chicago Yellow Cab Co. and Checker

contempt charges against the City
Council for granting 495 additional

The taxi monopolies won an injunc-
tion here several months ago against
issuance of additional licenses by the
city. The Justice Department suit

Frankfort, Ky. (FP)-The state

immediate dissolution of the charter

the organization was a "lawless, Sc

Unless the XXX is dissolved, the

orgies of lawlessness, based on racial,

hatred, ultimately will arise in Ken
