Public Opinion Tops By TbomAs Stokes

New that the sEneke has cleared away from one of the worst labor crises in recent times, and tenn peFs have cooled down. certain conclusions stand out
 One is that our cherished system of checks and balance seems stll to operate successfully
 There was. for example. the slowly mounting pub lie resentment against the continuous strikes which finally had eliminated in tieups Of two Of basic industries coal and railroads. Public opinion is fundamental cheek. l. needs an outlet.
 President Truman provided that outlet. He spoke out to call halt to the railroad strike m doing so however, he OyeFshot the mark in the proposed W0Fk-or-dragt remedy in his emergency strike con- trol bill The House adopted this bill under extra. ordinary procedure of suspension of rules which at- lowed no separate votes such provisions as that for the draft But the balance asserted itself in the Senate as so often happens. to wipe out the draft provision,
 Puhlle Eevulsien against the twe strikes expressed as much as anything else a normal behavior re- action Of the American people; That nobody, labor leaders lndnFtal leaders or anybody else can get too big in this country,
 This points to something to which labor leaders must give heed if they expect to claim the support o
 Ii k that labor leaders can't afford to inflate themselves to a size where the shadow they throw hides the workers back of them One man often becomes the symbol of the thousands of workers in the public mind and it shouldn't be that way The case Of the workers Is lost sight of behind the mas sve figures of leaders to whom power seems often to become the compelling motive. It is an nsidt0us sl- fusncs hard for even the most balanced to resist.
 The American labor movement is filled with 50 many earnest sincere people. doing their difficult job day after day against the handicaps Of selfish- ness and ignorance. that t s pity they must share

Learning the Hard Way

An entire cOmmunity-hotel store garage, homes-was destroyed by fire recently in Washington In ten minutes thousands of dollars worth of property and town were wiped off the map Thirty families were stranded For tunatey, no lives were lost.
 In this case the fire may have been unavoidable It was thought that a chimney spark dry roof started the con hagration However the citizens ot this town should not forge the lesson they have learned When they build again. and that will be job in these days o shortages anu high costs they will undoubtedly give serious thought to the elimination of fire hazards.
 It is good bet that hereafter they will make certain that their fire fighting equipment is in good order they have any luck a the nations number one property de' stroyer will slim pickngs in their region for long tme to
 Thousands of other communities could proh by lhe eN' perience of this little Washington town It learned It's es' son the hard way. Others learn the easy way rohs by experience They should follow the advice ol hFe pre- venton experts with greater diligence They revise obsolete ordinances check the adequacy of water supply en- courage individual of the danger of hre lhey can go far toward eliminating habilondolar ire loss each year.
 Anyway, there is one community in Washington that should hereafter be good citizen from the standpoint ot practicing fire prevention

 WASHINGTON gune Immediately after President Truman delivered his strong anti-labOr message to Congress. Henry Wallace walked into pared statements tn his face urging him to take issue with his boss on labor.
 This meant. Of course. wallaces exit from the Truman Administration. For when cabinet member blasts the President he is through
 On the other hand. organized labor is the one group in political life on which Wallace has an electoral stranelehold They have fought for him right down the line and he for them His assistants argued. therefore that he could not now afford to remain silent-even if 1t meant his exit from the Truman Administration.
 Wallace listened while his aSSistahtS argued. Finally he buzzed for his chief political adviser Harold Young Of Dallas. Texas. who once got ole smuggler Freeman Burford out from under federal Governor Dick Leche of Louisiana. sent to jan for I2 years.

 That. in the end was what Wallace did He de- cided to make no statement critical of his Chiefs labor policy.
 En making this decision walace's mind probably flashed back to another politically critical moment in the Summer Of iS43 when other advisers also urged him to issue critical statement of another Chief in the White House.
 The chips down then too Roosevelt had just booted Wallace out of his job head Of the Board Of Economic Warfare in a David-and-G0liath battle with Jesse Jones. Wallace then Vice. President and couldn't be fired from that job But Roosevelt had fired him from the BEW. despite the fact that Wallaces chief fault constantly nag ging Jesse Jones about getting ahead with the var
 At that time also. the men around Wallace urged him to issue scathing blast Morris Rosenthal Milo Perkins and others wanted him to break with R0ose- welt. Instead Wallace took the advice of his Texas friend issued statement written by Young which read:

the odiuln that comes when q few too powerful go too far.
 One mistake national labor leaders often make and it was particularly noticeable n the coal and rail strikeS-is to neglect the primary job Of get ting the story and the needs of their workers oyer to the public. They seem to think that the public somehow should understand. It was not until the coal strike had run for several weeks. for instance that John L. Lewis designed to issue a statement Of the case for his health and welfare proposal He should have been telling this oyer and oyer publicly
 Labor was put on the defensive Little was eyer heard, for example. about the coal operators who tutions; of the railroads with their big banker industrial affjkates who. even while the workers were trying to get more pay. were quietly at work in Congress to break down the ap-tTust laws which protect the consumer
 On the ether hand, a excellent leb ef revealing conditions ln the coal mines and among the workers was done by reporters for Washington newspapers who went to the mines to investigate. These stories undoubtedly had their effect on the outcome News papers generally could do more Of this sort of pub lie service
