STRIKE OF PILOTS
TIES UP AIRLINE
World Wide TWA System
Paral yzed Over Demand
For Higher Pay Rate

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-P-
Pilots of Trans World Airline,
striking for higher pay, paralyzed
its operations at HON and abroad
Monday night with no prospect of
an Immediate settlement in sight.
Some 5000 passengers and tons
of cargo were stranded as the
company was compelled to cancel
all flights of 115 planes, including
eight now in foreign countries, for
"a hours after the sudden walkout.
A second 24-hour cancellation was
in prospect for Tuesday, and
others after that.
Jack Frye, TWA president, said
government seizure of the line
might" be a solution. But no
immediate move in that direction
was apparent.
Pickets took up a march in Kan
sas City and at LaGuardia field
in New York. Involved in the
strike are 1,40o and co-pilots,
members of the AFL Air Line
Pilots association.
Their earnings now are calculat-
ed by the union at $1,000 to SO, 100
a year. The company said they
range as high as $12. 598.
The company said that If the
demands were granted, highest
paid pilots would get SIS, 300 a
year. The union said its proposals
range from $93o.31 to $1,1s7.43
monthly, depending upon the
flights and planes a pilot flies.
28, 27O-MiIe Line
The company Cancelled all flights
on it's %, 270-mile system for "a
hours and announced it will con
tinue cancellations from day to
day pending an agreement with
the Air Line Pilots association.
Eight planes overseas were among
those grounded.
A daily average of more than
5000 passengers, Is tons of mail
and 33 tons of express is carried
by TWA over routes extending
from Los Angeles to Dhahran in
Saudi Arabia by way of Kansas
City, Washington, New York,
Paris, Rome and Cairo.
Passengers and mail were being
diverted to other airlines and to
railroads.
There was no immediate indica-
ton of any clear cut steps by gov
eminent officials to end the strike.
Robert F. Cole, secretary of the
National Mediation board, said he
knew nothing definite about the
situation. The office of John R.
Steelman, r~econversion director
and adviser to President Truman
on labor matters, said the strike
was being handled by the media
ton board.
Board Interested

which probably would be the
agency called upon to make
recommendations, discussed the
strike but had nothing to say after

under procedure which could
shut down the soft coal mines
in another strike Nov. 20.
The demand was served on
the government which has
been operating the mines
since the strike of last spring,
Citing "significant changes in
government wage policy" Lewis,
recovered from his appendicitis

Secretary of the Interior Krug and

The Krug-Lewis contract of May
%, which ended the last strike,
provided, Lewis said, that either
party could reopen 1t by giving ten
days notice of a new negotiating
conference. And, Lewis added, IS
days after that date Nov. - either
party can terminate the contract
after five additional days.
The miners additionally do not
work without a contract. Thus the
way would be open for another
Walkout November 20 unless a new
agreement is reached before then.

From The Desk
Melvin Schultz
Local IL, UAW.CIO
President,

The coal strike is now termed to be over.
However, the question involved has not been
settled. Miners have returned to work on the
same basis as they previously had when they
left the mines. l think that the happenings
OF the past few weeks in regard to this situa.
ton should prove again to everyone who is
Labor conscious that the laws of our land are
designed and drawn primarily for the best
interest OF the owner and for the protection OF
property and material things rather than for
the good and welfare of the human being.
l think there should be little doubt in any
ones mind that the conditions of the miners
should be improved If you or any of your
friends have ever travelled through the mining
districts in Pennsylvania, Southern Ohio and
West Virginia, you have had the opportunity
TO observe first hand the housing conditions
and the lack of well-rounded out communities
in these territories. They certainly could stand
improvement which would have to come
through greater income. Educational facilities
in large number of these territories which
/ myself have seen, amount to the little one
room school house for the most part
In spite of the above, the Nations atten.
ton is focused on a dispute between two in
dividuals simmering down to a question of
who was willing to sacrifice little of their
personal power and glory so that progress
could be made among the citizens of our coun-
try. 1t is sorry state of affairs to find the
use of an injunction being exercised for the
type of control which is dictatorial. When any
one condemns John L. Lewis for having dicta-
torial powers, feel that they should stop and
think Of the dictatorial power exercised by
one man through the use of the injunction and
then arrive at the conclusion that John L.
Lewis was merely running second in the race
for dictatorial power.
A Washington commentator exposed the
fact that 1t was planned to use the Army to
force miners to mine coal. This, to my fore
shadow, is a very serious situation for the
average citizen of our country Much worse
than we experienced under the War Man.
power Commission during the National Emer-
gency. At least at that time you were only
required to remain on the job. You were not
forced to remain at the point of a bayonet.
Since this is the Christmas Season. would
like to turn my thoughts from the serious
ness of the future outlook to wish everyone
"a Merry Christmas" and to hope that in the
future, better grade of peace and goodwill
will prevail among men.

NEW YORK, Dec 9-One of the most i'm
portant things which faces organized labor
today, tomorrow and yesterday is to bring
wages and prices into closer balance.
We are now being told that the 80th Con-
gress, which is going to assemble in Washing
ton in few weeks, is going to crack down on
labor; that it is going to weaken labors Magma
Charta-the Wagner Act; that it is going to
pass legislation forcing labor into compulsory
arbitration and that in general it is going to
rock the labor movement back on its heels.
No labor leader can sit back and permit
such congressional activities as are being pre-
dicted from becoming realities In the light OF
what labor has discovered over long period
of years We must warn Congress that 1t had
better step slowly and carefully and not as
sumo an attitude of revenge or haste in pass
ing legislation which deals with the lives and
living of millions of American citizens
Congress would do we'll to examine the
whole fabric of our economic life and nvesti-
gate why we have strikes. They might con-
suit with bona fide labor leaders before taking
some action which might very well throw the
country into worse confusion and dissension
than we have known up to the present
NO STRIKES
1t appears that a large number of congress
men now seem to be laboring under the i'm
preston that they can completely eliminate
strikes and labor troubles by the simple ex-
unions into arbitration
c greSs m en- who think this should
think little longer. There will always be
strikes until such time that the causes for
strikes are eliminated
And should the time ever come when the
workers of America would be forced to forego
their right to strike, then Fascism will be in
the saddle and the free America in which we
have been born and brought up will have be-
come another totalitarian state and labor will
be enslaved and in chains
doubt if even the 80th Congress, reaction
ary as it appears to be, would go that far.
INVESTIGATE
Before the next Congress passes any laws
dealing with labor and its rights, it would do
well to investigate the entire labor situation,
not only as 1t applies to labor, but as it applies
to wages, contracts working conditions and
every condition under which labor operates
Behind every work stoppage, behind every
controversy between employers and employees
there lie reasons which should become part
OF the knowledge of Congress before 1t at
tempts to weaken the labor movement with
repreSsive legislation.
Congress owes duty, not only to employ
erS and large corporations but to the entire
American people. They owe duty to consider
the welfare, not of any special group, but the
welfare of the nation.
We OF the labor movement recognize that
we face two or more crucial years, but we are
determined that we shall meet our crisis as
Americans and that we shall combat any and
all efforts which would turn back the clock
We are facing crisis in the months which lie
ahead. We will unite to preserve our union
and our nation and maintain the meaning Of
all tnat the word America denotes.

Labor Solidarity

Solidarity shown by the labor unions
in many sections of the country, particu-
larly that called for by CIO President
Philip Murray in meeting the challenge of
anti-uniOnism which already has begun
to show itself in such startling fashion in
the UNIV situation, plus the action which
took place in Oakland California, last
week, should provide food for thought for
congressman who seem intent upon puni-
tive measures upon the entire labor move
ment.
Labor solidarity which seems at times
to be almost unattainable is not as far
away as some may believe il to be and
will be realized should the next Congress
in its hysteria and stupidity pass legiSla-
tiOn which will force all labor into one
camp.
The age-old expedient of dividing labor
and ruling the economic life of the nation
has worked for many years, primarily be-
cause there were some who had the wit to
realize that there are ways and ways of
keeping labor divided. But as matters now
stand, it begins to appear that the great
error is about to be committed, and that
from this error shall come the thing for
which all true friends of labor have
wished-labor solidarity.
Sooner or later, the supreme misplay
will be made and from 1t will come the
spark which labor needs to unite it for
political and economic action. God speed
the day on which that mistake will be
committed.

Thaf DIGEST Ad

While we agree entirely with the sem
tinents of those who have severely crltl-
cized Walter Cenerazzo, so-called labor
leader for his letter which was published
in the Literary Digest, we are in total
disagreement with those who believe that
the labor press should reject Literary Di-
gest advertising calling attention to the
"Open Letter From Labor Leader to his
Union"
A number of labor papers, among
them the TOLEDO UNION JOURNAL
accepted the Literary Digest ad two
weeks ago, not because they agreed with
the sentiments expressed by a self-prO-
claimed labor leader, but because the la
Dor press should be kept truly free.
Accepting the Digest ad did not bind
this or other labor newspaper to refrain
from criticism of the sentiments express
ed in the ad by the alleged labor leader.
Indeed, Clayton Rusch in his column of
last week severely criticized both the So
called leader and the sentiments which
he expressed in the Literary Digest paid
space.
We are not disposed to pursue the
merits or demerits of the sentiments OF
Walter Cenerazzo, but we do say and be-
Iieve that the labor press, the same as the
daily press, should provide the Opportun-
ity for freedom of expression.
We demand that the privately owned
press accept paid advertising and fre-
quently condemn the daily newspapers
for their bias and refusal to really print
both sides of the question. Then, we turn
around and criticize the labor press for
doing the very thing which we blame the
daily newspapers for not doing.
There have even been members of
labor unions who have insisted that their
newspapers reject certain political adver-
tising on the grounds that the candidate
was an enemy of organized labor, or that
the cause which was seeking political
preference was out of line, or opposed to
the interests of the workers.
1t is our belief that the labor press
should accept any legitimate advertising
which is offered it, reserving at all times
the right to disagree with the sentiments
expressed, If they be of a controversial
nature, or, If the individual who seeks
political position is an enemy of organiz-
ed labor. Anyone who reads the JOUR
NAL should have no doubt about where
either ii or the CIO stand when ii comes
to candidates for political office.
In his column last week Clayton
Rusch expressed sentiments to which the
JOURNAL heartily subscribeS. We think
that Walter CenerazzO is everything
that Mr.. Rusch showed him to be, and
we also think we will continue to accept
advertising from the Readers Digest on
the same conditions under which we ac-
cepted the one of two weeks ago
