Old Friends Meet Again

WASHINGTON Sept 23-(NEA)-When Assist ant Secretary of Labor Phil Hannah went to San Francisco to try his hand at the-for hm-new busi- of trying to talk Harry Lundeberg into calling off his A.FL. seamen's strike, old friendship was renewed. Ten years ago they worked together in Savannah, Ga. then tough anti-abor town.
 Both were AFL organizers Hannah was work ing to get the automobile service-staton attendants into the new union he had organized and led in Cleveland, Ohio Lundeberg was, of course organ izng the sailors.
 The two stayed at the hotel in Savan- nah and got to know each other pretty we'll But at San Francisco Lundeberg refused to call off his strike for his old friend Phil who now big shot government official. Instead Hannah back to Washington to say that the only solution for the mems strike was for the government Wage Stabiza- ton Board to reverse itself and approve the new con- tract with the ship operators, granting the AF.L. seamen five and ten dollars month more than had been awarded the C.I.O. maritime unions.
 Hannah was supposedly representing the govern ments interest But he says he finds it hard to get the government viewpoint on some of these things.
 Only the stars are neutral" he says, poetcaly. His inference is that this lets him out as conci- ator. He wasn't named Assistant Secretary of Labor to act as conciator, anyway His job is to improve relations between the Department of Labor and the A.F.I. unions.
 As for Lundeberg, leader of the striking sailors, he is of the unique characters of the American labor movement He is a Norwegian, sailor since boyhood naturalized American citizen He got his labor union training under the late Andy Fuerseth founder of the Sailors Union, one of the grand old pioneers of the Sam Gompers era, firm be- liever in the craft union system and in the respon sbility of union membership to fulfill contract obli gations,

 So that part of our society that is on the make already made-and it is influential-fears man like Henry Wallace Perhaps it understands him too well even if it can't understand why he is that way.
 When Mr Wallace said that e,et V ought to have quart of milk day, he tr struck at whole society and it's failures in .3. tenceat the failure of productive and distribu ton systems. It's one of the most powerful and dan gerous announcements of time. That's why it provoked much rdicule that IS, from the people who ridiculed 1t.
 Henry Wallace is understood and liked by the plain people, while the others him, because the plain people know his like In nearly every town there's a Henry Wallace the local philosopher who fusses around with inventions for better ways to do everyday things who asks disturbing questions about why the town can't do this that for itself and it's people.
 Henry Wallace is every fellow who, through the ages, has stood up and proposed something new and different The who in the town council, for example, and wanted to know why everybody couldn't chip in little and have public school couldn't get together and do other things for its peo plea garbage collecting system, sewage system and in these later days, power plant
 For some fellows, somewhere, the first to ask these questions which brought us where we are today Henry Wallace is all of them and today he is asking more question:
 ''Why can't We get along together and have peace ill the world?"
 The plain people everywhere understand him there.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-09-23

WASHINGTON - This town is seething again with talk and arguments about Henry Wallace's ignation and doubtless that has been going on though in much lesser degree, in every other city in the country
 Why is it that he always stirred up such furore?
 And he certainly did for fellow who is per- sonaly shy, who dresses soberly, who affects no tricks of language There are, of course those things which people pointed to from time to time to try to laugh him off-the quart of milk day for every body; his boomerang throwing; his interest in ligions his devisng new processes in agriculture; youth.
 He has been described often, in this place and elsewhere prophet and dreamer and a sincere idealist and he is all of those as well as being most practical He probably will be vindicated and understood better 50 years from than today
 Yet, curiousy enough he is much better under stood by the plain people than by the big shots including the politicians In that way he is like so many prophets and idealists through the centuries They dangerous to the powers that-be for they make things simple and as they look upon society and its injustices, they're continually asking:
 "Why?"
 either power material substance, or both wants the process to seem hard and himself to appear quite the fellow if it all by hard work and wasn't helped also by lots of luck and peculiar sort of smartness. To protect himself he builds up his myths and legends through the centuries.
 His came by hard work and therefore everybody else who works hard will reap similar rewards; there fore he keeps people working hard for him. An other of the legends is the sancty of property

attire above the belt His trousers impressed and on his head is a badly battered old cap
 Though he is head of the Sailors Union of the Pacific, with 13,000 members and the East Coast Seafarers International Union of North America, with 18,O00 members Lundeberg pays himself no more salary than any of his union members re- ceives before the mast. He won't dress up put airs for anyone.
 He hates Communism than any capitalist. At time, before the C.IO. movement gained headway along the waterfronts Lundeberg and Harry Bridges were supposedly intimates. They are enemies now though Bridges has recently shown signs of wooing for alliance and unity.
 Lundebergs principal battle today is against the West Coast CLO LOngshoremen, who are strangely enough supporting his strike by refusing to cross his picket lines What Lundeberg is fighting for is to keep the CIO. waterfront men from joining his picket lines and making his fight their fight It was to prevent any such seizure that Lundeberg stayed on the West Coast refusing to come to Washington to rehearing of his before the Wage Stabliza- ton Board.
 AS matter of fact, Lundeberg has little use for government he has for the CommieS. He has at times been accused of links with the I.W.W. the anarchistc "Wobbly" labor movement that swept through the West during the first World War and still has few foothod5 .n the Northwest lunl- Der camps.
 Lundeberg's opposition to governmen. lncerfer- in labor relations does not stem from any such background, however It is based the conviction that contract between labor unions and employers is their own busness--a private agreement Whlch both should scrupuously live up to but in which the government should have part
 With the 34 West Coast and Il East Coast ship ping companies holding contracts with Lundebergs unions relations are of the best That is witnessed by the fact that Spokesmen for these ship operators all supported Lundeberg's demand for higher wage rates than given the CLIO unions, If in main taning these contracts the governments Wage Sta bilization Board is wrecked. Lundeberg apparently doesn't give darn.

 "The Summer theater season is over and Thespis has returned to his pavements. From an editorial in the Boston Herald.
 GOOD LUCK TO HIM No longer the bucolic night Resounds to laughter and applause, For Thespis now has taken flight And greater matters give him pause. He has resumed the urban scene, Returned to light and roaring
 streets,
 And works his glum or comic mien For harder folk in softer seats. He enters ventures that are new; He opens an untested show To try the harsh and critic view Where less forbearing people go. Than to the barns of Summer went, Resolved to like what they might
 see,
 Returning to their homes content That Thespis was as he should be. His new successes surely will The Summer clients titillate, Provided that they live until The Summer, say, of '58.
