Democratic Club
Holds Panel ON
World Emergency

-Four women presented different
angles on world problems in a panel
discussion yesterday before the
Women's National Democratic Club.
Each emphasizing a high point in
consideration of the subject, THE
World Emergency" the speakers in
cluded Mrs. Charles Tillett, chair
man of the women's division, Ma
tional Democratic Committee; Miss
Josephine Schain of New York, au-
thority on international affairs;
Mrs. Millard Tydings, wife of Sena-
tor Tydings, member of the spe-
CLAP Senate Committee on Atomic
Engery, and Mrs. j. Borden Harri-
man. former United States Ambas-
Sador to Norway.
Mrs. Tillett, the first speaker, ex-
planned the operations of the Pre-
paratory Commission of the United
Nations Organization. now func-
tioning as the General Assembly.
She pointed out how already the
smaller nations of the world are
having an opportunity of making
their voices heard" Referring to
the establishment of the Interna-
tional Court, Mrs. Tillett stressed
the Importance of elections of
members as individuals, whose al
legiance is not to the countries
from which they come but to the
principles of international law and
justice"
Miss Schain spoke of issues which
have caused disturbances in Iran.
Iran now asks that the United
Nations Organization investigate the
situation" she said. THUS the mat
ter becomes question for the palia-
ment OF man, the responsibility OF
every country in the world. If wal
Is to be eliminated" she concluded
the nations of the world will have
to assume responsibility for digging
down and curing sore spots like the
Pension problem 1t is complicated
and painful task, but where there S
q will there's way"
An interesting analysis of how the
atom bomb has revolutionized the
world was presented by Mrs. Tyd-
tngs.
There have been three great mo-
ments in the history of mankind. u
Mrs. Tydings said First: The Gre
alton; second, the coming of Christ
and the third is the discovery OF
atomic energy. This time there Is
no lodging the issue put before us
We must have international contro
OF atomic energy or we face a fu-
ture too horrible to contemplate.
The urgency Of international un-
derstanding was stressed by Mrs
Hartman, who pointed out some of
the sources of unrest in the Far
East, the Middle East, Germany and
japan and in places where the virus
OF Fascism still fourishes-in the
Argentine, in Spain and elewhere. >
I'VE find the world still full OF
conflicts that must be resolved on
the side Of fairness to masses of op-
pressed peoples" she added. "The
burden is placed on all of us to un-
derstand and make allowances fol-
each other. For If our leaders fall
out, and vicious, noxious national
isms divide us, not only will the wal
have been fought in vain, but we
will be sowing the seeds for a far
worse holocaust-and remember
the peril of that little bomb is be-
yond the imaginings of us ALL"
The speakers were introduced by
Mrs. Philip Dodson, chairman of the
Education Committee which spon-
sored the discussion. Mrs. William
Davis, the president. presided.

Wichitu Papers
Refuse Coop Ad

Wichita, kas.-(FP).- Here's an
other episode in the saga Of freedom
Of the press:
I'm answer to blasts against the
Kansas cooperatives by the Wichita
Chamber of Commerce and the Wich-
ita Town Hall Committee Inc, which
demanded an end to taX-exemption
of co-ops, j. w. Cumnnns, editor OF
the Cooperative Consumer, wrote an
article telling the businessmen that
by attacking $4,000 cooperative farm
ers of Kansas, they were helping
neither Wichita nor themselves.
Both the Wichita daily papers re-
fused to publish the piece, even though
Cummins was willing to pay for it
as an advertisement. 1t was a smear
against the merchants of Wichita, the
publishers said loftily.
Cummins called their attention to
the full-page and halfpage ads by
General Motors and u. s. Steel at
tacking labor's wage demands which
they had run without hesitation. Oh,
that was different, the publishers re-
piled
The article was finally accepted by
the Wichita Plaindealer, newspaper of
the Central Labor Council, which
doesn't sound off about freedom of
the press. 1t just practices it.

Weir's Mills
At Detroit
Down Tight
By CARL HAESSLER

River Rouge. Mich.-FP). = Two
DAYS ahead of the national signal the
United Steelworkers in the three
plants of the Great Lakes Steel Corp,
in the Detroit area shut them down
tight at / a. m. Jan 10. This is a sub
sidiary of E. T. Weir's Natl. Steel
Corp, the notorious anti-union inde-
pendent in the industry.
Great Lakes supplies principally
General Motors and Chrysler but also
sells to Ford, Packard and Hudson
auto manufacturers. Including office
workers there are about 5000 en-
ployes in the three plants in the
downriver area.
Weir's lieutenants moved sugar and
other food into the Great Lakes plants
during the week but any notion the
company may entertain of strike
breaking is absurd, it was said at
1899 headquarters as the men are
solidly union and showed their colors
in the Natl. Labor Relations Board
strike vote. Out of a possible 60O0,
5877 members took the trouble to vote
and vote yes in the strike ballot in
December.
Besides storing food the company
took more vital step against custom
er ticups when it kept blooming a
lot of ingots into slabs and shipped
them to Weirton, w. Va, where its
nonunion plant is located to build up
backlog for customers.
"They got ahead of us on that
one," the local admitted. "If we'd been
smarter we'd have stopped that in
time"
At the Hanna furnaces the union
permitted gradual shutdown to pre-
vent needless plant damage. Mainten-
ance men are in the plants by union
permission SO that work can start up
with minimum delay as soon as the
union demand for a raise of 1875
an hour, as recommended by the gov
ernment factfinding board, is settled
The company was willing to pay 15c

TRANSIT OPERATORS
WIN WAGE BOOST

Washington-(FP).-An arbitration
board named to handle the wage dis
pute between the Capital Transit Co.,
and the Amalgamated Assn. of Street
Electric Railway & Motor Coach Em-
ployes (AFL) handed a wage boost
of 12c an hour to the $500 workers
involved Jan. 3.
Under the award operators Of one
man street cars and busses get top
rate of $l.l4 an hour. The union had
asked SIPS, and the rate prior to the
strike was 95c plus a wartime bonus
of 7c which was absorbed into the new
scale by the arbitrators.
Pres. +. ID. Merrill Of the company
said the award will add something
like $fZ. million to operating expen-
ses," and Immediately moved to seek
an increase in fares. The lines have
been fcderaly operated since the
strike last November which snared
Washington traffic during the Natl.
Labor Management Conference.

It's Solidarity
On Picket Line

New York-(FP) Striking mem
bers of American Communications
Assn. aren't carrying any messages
for Western Union these days, but
the workers Of New York-AFL and
CIO-are bringing them one big mes
sage of solidarity
Latest incident which warmed the
AGA pickets circling the Western
Union skyscraper building through
the long, freezing days and nights
was refusal Of members Of the Build
ing Service Employees Intl. Union
(AFL) to act as guards at closed WI
branch offices. The AF'L workers are
employed as guards by the William
]. Burns Init. Detective Agency, which
had been retained to watch WI prop
erty.
Members Of the lntl Bro. of Team
sters (AFL), sent TO deliver fuel on
for the relief Of scabs and super
visory workers, refused to pass pic
ketlines when the strikers protest
ed. "We're freezing" the pickets
shouted. "Why shouldn't they?"
Pickets also put up a squawk when
a laundry truck drove up, ready to
deliver fresh towels to a barbershop
on the main floor of the building, fire.
quented by scabs for shaves and hair
cuts. The AFL driver listened to the
pickets' side Of the story and drove
off-the towels still inside the van.
"Anything you say, boys" he told
the strikers.
While the officials of AGA agreed
not to take any pay for the duration
of the walkout, the unions strike fund
continued to grow. twenty-five thous-
and dollars was donated to the strik-
ers by other unions in the first 10
DAYS.

ON BEING KIND
By RUTH TAYLOR

What kind of a person do you like
best? What quality appeals to you
most?
| think if | were asked that, I'd
say | liked kind people most. Most
people would agree with me. Wouldn't
you?
There's one labor leader | know
who is liked by everyone who knows
him--even by those who don't agree
with him. "Why is he SO thoroughly
appreciated %, | asked someone once.
The answer came after little
thought. "It's because no matter how
trivial thing you go to him with,
he listens courteously and answers
kindly"
That's a pretty fine tribute. |
watched him for day at conven-
tion. (The speeches were unusually
dull.) He didn't go out of his way to
hunt up people. He sat quietly and
calmly-but everyone who came up
to him received the same considera-
tion and courtesy. He had made an
art of being kind.
This is one virtue any of US can
possess. We can all give kindness. And
it is one measure we can safely let
overflow. Always try to be a little
kinder than necessary.
We have all suffered from the peo-
pie who are so intent on keeping all
they can get for themselves that they
try TO knife everyone who seems to
get in their way. Let US not be like
them. Let us rather be helpful to all
who need help. "Giving can never i'm
poverish" was a favorite line of my
mothers. And ] never knew anyone
richer in friends. There is enough for
everyone. The greater the man the
greater the courtesy.
Think over today. How much easier
it would have been if those whom you
met had offered kindness. But--were
you kind and courteous to all with
whom you came in contact? 1t works
both ways you know. Make habit OF
being kind and courteous to those
you meet or with whom you work
Ycu will find it will pay great divi'
dends in ease of heart alone. You
will have done your share.
"Those who bring sunshine to the
lives of others cannot keep if from
themselves"-a great man said once
And still greater said: "Do unto
others as we would that men do unto
you" The Golden Rule is still the
most practical rule of Life"

work two 7-hOur shifts, both SHIFTS at
regular time, until the housing short
age abates.
In move described as "unprece-
dented in the construction industry,
the union also sanctioned the use OF
the most modern chronological
methods and the unrestricted use of
high-speed, labor-saving tools and de-
vices in order to reduce the cost OF
low-rental housing and to make new
dwellings available as soon as pos
sible for returning veterans.
Housing Seen Speeded
More than 10000 electrical con.
struction workers and 364 electrical
contracting companies are affected by
the terms of the new agreement.
In statement, hailing the benefits
to the public contained in the con-
tract, Bush said:
"All of this has been made possible
by the harmonious relationship that
his existed between the employers
and the union over a long period OF
years. 1t should now be possible for
large-scale housing to get under way
and to be completed at reduced cost
to the public in record time.
sThe Joint Industry Board of the
Electrical Industry, representing both
labor and management in this key
field, hopes that other trades in the
construction business will follow its
lead and make possible still further
reductions in cost and time"

Sumner Welles, former Undersec-
retary of State, said some things re-
Gently that ought to be taken to heart
by the fellows who have been bowling
against admission of the former neu-
tral nations to the United Nations Or
CARNATIONS. Incidentally, it should be
noted that the loudest shouters against
the neutrals have been the Commun-
lists and their sympathizers, following
the line supplied by Moscow, whose
spokesmen have declaimed against
democratic Switzerland and the other
neutrals, to lesser extent.
Switzerland, Sweden, Fire and Por-
tugal should be invited to join the
UNO, Welles wrote in his column in
the New York Herald Tribune AL
though the Allies may have felt that
"all who were not with the United Ma
tions must be against them," Welles
pleads cogently for the inclusion of
the 4 former neutral nations.
This is necessary, he points out,
because "if world recovery is to be
expedited, and the healing of the in
ternational differences created by the
war is to be hastened, all nations able
and willing to assist in the task of
world reconstruction must be given, as
promptly as possible, the opportunity
to take part" xrzt AesE,,,s

tries have always maintained the
highest standards in their internation-
al relations. The contribution which
Sweden and Switzerland can make to
the firm establishment of a future
world organization is potentially very
great. There can be no question,
think, that both Sweden and Switzer-
land are entitled to immediate mem
bership.
"For both these countries" he goes
on, "the cost of continuing mobili-
zation to resist German attack has
been heavy. Both governments have
suffered not only the Axis menace but
likewise the pressure of the Allied
governments. Their economies were
constantly subject to belligerent re-
prisals.

AL OFFICIAL
PROPOSED FOR
CUSTOMS POST

San Diego, Calf. lif.-(FP)-Robert E.
Noonan, secretary-treasurer of the
San Diego Central Trades & Labor
Council, has been recommended by
Sen. Sheridan Downey Cd, Calif.} for
the post of U. S. customs collector
for San Diego and Imperial counties.
Downey made the recommendation,
at suggestion of Rep Ed V. lzac Cd
of San Diego, to Sec. of the Treasury
Fred M. Vinson, who will send Noon
ans name to Pres. Truman for nomi-
nation and later confirmation by the
Senate.
The labor tradition runs strong in
Noonan's family. His father, the late
James p. Noonan, for many years
until his death in 1929 was president
of the Intl Bro. of Electrical Work
ers. The San Diego labor leader is a
native of st. Louis, where he was
graduated from Washington Univer-
sity with a degree in civil engineer
ing. Before coming to San Diego in
1897 he served on engineering jobs in
st. Louis, Boulder Dam and San Fran
cisco.
Noonan was business manager and
financial secretary of IBEW Local
Bass in San Diego until April 1912,
when. he was elected to his present
position. The job of customs collector
has been vacant since Dec. 81, when
W. b. George, 80, resigned after l2E
years in office.

AFL Makes

want wage rate increases and need
such increases because their take
home pay has been sharply cut since
the war ended and living costs are
still climbing.
Through collective bargining new
agreements and new contracts are
being negotiated and signed every
day by AFL unions and employers.
Those who assert that collective
bargaining has broken down don't
know what is going on in America.
On the contrary, collective bargaining
is functioning successfully wherever
it is put into practice sincerely.
Peace Not Considered News
Unfortunately, strikes make the
headlines while agreements are not
considered news. For this reason, a
large part Of the public may gain the
impression that labormanagement re-
lations generally have become dis
rupted to a point where regulotary
legislation and government control
are needed. That is not the case.
"The real trouble is that collective
bargaining is not being practiced and
never has been practiced in certain
mass production industries which are
the sore spots in the labor-industry
picture.
Events have confirmed our belief
that not single strike exists in our
nation which could not be settled sat
isfactorily in constructively by the
sincere application of collective bar
gaining and voluntary arbitration"
