Too Much Spotlight

Joseph y. McGafragny, counSel
for the struck hotels, says that
during the Saturday sessions with
the Labor Department conciliators,
all fringe issues in dispute other
than wages were reduced to a COM
promise. The compromise could not
have been very binding, for short
time later the fat was in the fire
again and the impasse seems as
j. firm now as it was on Saturday
morning.
The nub of the issue, however,
seems to be the maximum amount
in costs, not merely wages, on which
the hotels are willing to gamble in
the process of arbitration. The
union was at one time willing to
reduce the top figure of a wage
settlement provided fringe issues
were included in the settlement.
The hotels want the cost of fringe
issues included with wages in deter
mining the top figure it is willing
to submit to an arbiter, who still
would have to be selected and whose
predictions are unknown.
The nature of much of the pub
licity in connection with the strike
would make it very difficult for a
union representative to yield in his
stand now and go back to his people
and convince them that he was
justified in yielding. And the hotel
people, through counsel, say that to
yield further on the matter of costs
Including wages-wQuld be to
place in financial jeopardy the prop
critics they are managing.
This sort of impasse is not new in
labor disputes. Running concur
rently with the hotel strike there
is beer strike. All last summer
there was strike which tied up the
production of concrete in Washing
ton. Neither has received much
publicity. The difference is that the
hotel strike negotiations have been
conducted in a sort of goldfish bowl,
injecting the element of saving face
and therefore making it more diff
cult for either side to take any step
which may be represented as back
ing down.
But somebody has got to back
down sooner or later. The backing
down process might be facilitated if
the conciliators could arrange to
take the, negotiators out of the spot
light long enough for them to forget
the newspaper reporters and settle
down to the brass tacks of a settle
ment. While open covenants
openly arrived at represent an ex-
cellent principle, it is difficult to

1t is sobering to think Of how satirical
is the phrase "one world" so repeatedly
uttered in the meetings OF the United
Nations Assembly, wheh compared with
the dolorous realities OF the life Of man.
For no man today is there one world.
The world is divided into compartments
all but Theoretically sealed against en-
trance or exit. While we talk of the
unity OF mankind, each separate MEM
ber of mankind has to wear the brand,
as 1t were. of a certain ranch. called
national state, in the shape of a piece
of paper, called passport, which is his
permission" to try, If he can. to move
in one world. ss~ eukif
To get from one ranch to another he
has to have permission first to exit; then
he must have permission OF other ranch
managers to enter another estate. and
he is asked great many questions, one
of which is always whether he has any
money. The prerequisite of the oppor-
tunity to earn money outside the COM
partment where born, is to possess it
already. 5'''
He may not enter this country except
as certain number OF persons belong
ing to the same nationality may have
entered it previously, thus establishing
quota The quota has no relation
to himself. as a person. He may be
healthy, industrious, possessed Of useful
skills, and passionately believing in
American democracy, but he is checked
against the number of predecessors of
his nationality, and that is determinant
even If his nation has ceased to exist.
Men no longer travel. Pieces of paper
travel; the human being is attached to
the paper, not the paper to the man.
And no passport says: Place of origin?
The world!
Recently there arrived at our shores
three 36 to SO foot sloops. which had

faithfulness to reality as was feasible

United States representative in Poland,
is expected to arrive in Washington
next week to place before President
Truman and the State Department.
first hand information about the pcliti-
cal terrorism which prevails in Poland
on the eve of the elections.
The Polish government and its Mos
cow sponsor have taken the stand that
the American and British governments
have no business to supervise the Polish
elections, since this would mean the
imn,ixture of foreign powers in strictly
domestic problem.
The point CT view expressed last week
by the British government in the House
of Commons is that the elections, which
are expected to be held early in 1947,
concern the British because they are
the sequel to the agreements at Yalta,
where it was definitely provided that
recognition of the Polish government
depended, among other things, on free
and unfettered elections.
Warsaw accepted this Yalta condition
and must comply with it. But In the
l8-month interval 1t has not shown any
tendency to follow either the spirit or
the letter of the conditions imposed by
the Big Three.
The United States has not yet taken
any definite stand on this question, but
it is believed in White House and State
Department circles that after Ambas-
sador Lane has placed all the facts OF
what is going on in Poland before his
immediate superiors, the American Cow
ernment will also inform tine Polish gov
ernment that 1t has vital interest in
the manner in which the ballots are
cest
The political picture which Mr.. Lane
Is reported TO have painted in Paris to
Secretary of State Byrnes is not a
pretty one.
The leaders of the opposition party,
headed by the former prime minister OF
the Polish government in exile, Stani-
slaw Mikola jczyk, who became mem
ber Of the new government as result
of the Yalta decisions, are all treated
as dangerous to the security OF the
state. Mikola ajczyk's personal secretary
was shot and killed few weeks ago.
Many of the pillars of the Polish Peasant
Party (PSC) are in concentration camps.
Only recently the editors of the two
party newspapers daily and weekly,
were arrested on the charge that they
were menace to the state.
The Polish government like the other
satellites, has shown an utter disregard
for the American Embassy. Last month
1t arrested Irene Dmochowsky, clerk
in the Embassy at Warsaw and the
personal translator OF Ambassador Lane.

mine, out in Grizzly Gulch, on the out
skirts of the city, is limestone mine.
At least. that's all it used to be. and
that's all Jim ever meant 1t to be. Some
years ago. mining limestone. Jim struck
ledge with gold and silver ore in it - but he
didn't bother to follow it up. Mining"
says jim, lis primarily matter of good,
hard muscle grease, and he had seen too
much of it wasted on promising projects
which didn't pan out Limestone wouldn't
bring gold prices, but when man started
digging it out he knew just what he was
going to get. So Jim stuck to mining lime
stone on and off, for SO years
AND then, one day, Jim noticed a deposit
that was different The white rock was soft
and crumbly seemed to powder easily. Jim
had sample of it analyzed. The analysis
came back: high-grade talcum.
Now to you and me, tale is just powder,
usually with a nice, f1owery odor. that
comes in boxes or cans with perforated tops
But obviously it has to come from some
where Most of the best of it used to be
imported, but the war cut off all former
sources.
When big supply house in New York
heard of jim Mckelvie's mine. it rushed
man out to investigate. Yes he found, it
was indeed fine white tale, worthy of being
packaged under the most famous names
in the world of Identification. So men went
to work swinging picks in Jim Mckelvle's
mine again - mining face e-powder, of all
things
Most people around Last Chance Gulch
remembering all the tales of the good old
days, wistfully think about how wonderful
it would have been to live generation or
two earlier, when gold was right underfoot
Jim Mckelvie's regrets are just the other
way around Il figure" he told me, that
was born just about twenty-five years too
early"
50 FAR the surface of his mine has only
been scratched. Even for face powder, min
ing still takes plenty of muscle grease"
and his gold" will be there for long time,
he figures.
And soon Jim's son. who used to mine
limestone with him before the war, will be
back - back to the mine which, in this
land of beautiful women, is indeed a gold
mine.

Everybody else prospected for
gold, but Jim was content to
mine limestone. Then, one day
he struck strange bonanza
last CHANCE GULCH. That is what four
L. weary and discouraged prospectors
called the place when they pitched camp
there in 1864. And they struck it rich. Gold!
Millions of dollars worth of it.
Today, the gulch is the site of Helena.
Montana but there's still gold in them thar
hills. OF course. most of it is the main street
now, paved and lined with business build
ings Some people salvaged enough gold
from the foundation diggings to pay for
the construction - but easy pickings are
gone. 1t takes big. modern dredge to get
enough gold out of what is left of the gulch
to make placer mining worth while. Still,
Helena can't get gold off its mind
The plaque on the Montana Club and the
big signboard in front of the Great Northern
station are constant reminders of that fabu
lous last chance. The very names on the
buildings reflect the towns preoccupation:
PLACER Hotel" Gold Block" "Goldbar
Cocktail Lounge" and Nugget Lunch.
One bar is even called The Mint"
EVERYBODY seems to be a gold miner at
heart, whatever his workaday occupation
- still nursing fond hopes of wonderful
last chance when he. too, will some day
strike it rich.
A city official tells you about his gold mine
back in the hills 1t hasn't really been profit
able yet, but he s sure it will be- He has tun-
neled some 300 feet in his spare time, and
can hardly wait to get out there and dig
some more.
You meet an attorney who has interests
in several promising mining properties.
He tells you about nugget as big as the
proverbial hens egg, found just the other
day on someone else's land. Merchants.
clerks, walters all talk gold. all dream
gold.
Or nearly all did find one man in the
city who stopped dreaming about striking
gold years ago. His name is Jim Mckelve.
You can see the seamy ridges Of years in his
face and the stoop of much past labor in his
back jim is city constable. but he's a
miner, too only not gold miner. Jm's
