Root of Labor's Power

Root of Labor's Power
To the Editor of The Star:
The decisive failure of Senator Pepper
and his fellow travellers to encourage
trade union tyranny is proof positive,
if further proof be needed, of the pres
ent wish of the Congress to control or
at least limit such tyranny; but,
strangely enough, both Senators and
Representatives seem at total loss for
ways and means, although the basic
cause of current intolerable conse-
quences is crystal clear.
That cause is the exemption of trade
unions from the Sherman and Qater)
secured from an obedient Congress
by Samuel Gompers' meaningless slogan,
Labor Is not commodity
Neither corporations nor their Off
cials are commodities" although they,
like labor, produce commodities. But
only they are prosecuted for alleged
restraint of trade. 1t is doubtful If the
public is ever conscious of any restraint
of trade by producing corporations until
such is alleged by the Department of
Justice. In fact, lack of competition,
construed as monopoly by an Attorney
General, even benefits the public, when
a corporation, by excelling ways and
means, profltably sells its standard
products on terms with which other
producers cannot compete, whereas mass
of rot 1I
imposed by trade unions drunk with
power" continually threatens the life.
health and welfare of the community,
and even of the Nation-often for the
most trifling reasons.
Therefore, both the public welfare and
the very life of representative govern
ment require that trade unions, like all
other organizations, be prohibited from
restraining any trade on which COM
munity or national welfare depends.
Moreover, disputes involving trade
unions, like all other disputes, should
be settled in our regular courts of law,
amplified as necessary for such pur-
poses, and enforced by usual legal
means, instead of being referred to
mixed commissions, without effective
power, in which the public minority
is controlled and often influenced by
other interests.

CT Point of View Expressed
To the Editor of The Star.
In letter that I recently received
from home, my parents stated that they
had read in The Star that American
boys didn't behave in Germany. I have
been in Germany quite some time now
and feel that can eXplain-or rather,
I should say, defend the enlisted men
of the United States Army here in
Germany.
We are now under adverse conditions
to begin with. We are in foreign
country far from home and the people
are still considered enemies. We have
been accused by the brass hats of every-
thing that an enlisted man can be &C
cused of. The latest is that we have
too much time off and entirely too much
time to ourselves. To correct this, Gen.
McNarney has put out orders that all
men in addition to their normal duties
take physical training, drill, have re-
veille, stand retreat, standby inspec-
ton and everything else that goes along
with basic training routine.

|Byrnes Meets Beyin
In New Effort 10
Speed Big 4 Work
BY The Assoeioisd Press

/ NEW YORK, Nov. 49, Secretary
of State Byrnes and British Foreign
Secretary Bevin met today In the
latest of series of secret confer
ences reported aimed at speeding up
the work of the Foreign Ministers
Council and the United Nations, and
co-ordinating, where possible, the
policies OF the great powers.
The Byrnes- -Bevin nuddle was held
in Mr.. Bevin's hotel headquarters
here. A similar session yesterday
between Mr.. Byrnes and Soviet For
eign Minister Molotov was held in
Mr.. Byrnes' office and appeared to
have immediate results last night In
breaking away some Of the last dis
agreements between Russia and the
western powers over Trieste.
While no information was given
out about the nature of the Byrnes-
Bevin talk, there was some reason
to believe that the two would try to
map Anglo-American strategy on
the veto issue. The discussion was
their first since Mr.. Molotov fatty
rejected last Saturday night all
efforts to limit the veto and the
small nations reacted in the U. N.
Assembly by indicating they would
sponsor q censure motion against
what they have called Russias
abuse" of the veto.
u. S. and Britain on Spot.
This proposal puts the United
States and Britain somewhat on
the spot. They had enthusiastic
cally advocated voluntary agree
ments among the powers to limit use
of their voting rights in the Security
Council. When Mr.. Molotov turned
this down, they were left with no
further move to make.
However, diplomats consider the
veto issue a very sore spot in Rus
sia's political feelings and say they
are NOT sure how far the western
powers may want to press an issue
which Russia considers at the heart
OF her participation In the United
Nations.
However, a Big -Four session last
night produced more agreement than
any other recent meeting on the
Trieste section of the Italian treaty.
The agreement came when Russia
dropped her objection to empowering
the Governor of the projected inter-
national territory of Trieste to deal
forcefully with internal disorders.
Molotov Approval Withheld.
Mr.. Molotov had been Withholding
his approval of such a treaty pro-
vision as bargaining point to try
to obtain from Mr.. Byrnes, Mr..
Bevin and French Deputy Foreign
Minister Couve de Murville a fixed
deadline for the withdrawal of Allied
troops from the Trieste territory.
Persons at the Big Four session
reported that the troop issue was
not raised when Mr.. Molotov agreed
to the specific powers for the Gov
ernor. but this did not preclude the
that some understanding
had been reached earlier on a troop
removal formula satisfactory to him.
On several other relatively minor
points the Foreign Ministers were
reported to have made substantial

Dorothy Dix Says

One of the unexpected tragedies
of the war is the disappointment
that so many husbands and wives
have experienced in their reunion.
Through all the long, bleak days of
loneliness and anxiety while they
were parted, being back together
was the one thing that they had
looked forward to, that they had
dreamed about and prayed for. 1t
was to have been the one perfect
moment in their lives, when all the
pentup love and longing of their
souls would burst their dams and
food their world with joy.
But in so many cases Johnny'S
return from the war hasn't been
like that. After the first excitement
of being at home again everything
has fallen fiat. Nothing has been
like either the husband or the wife
pictured it. Theirs has not been the
reunion of lovers. 1t has been the
meeting of strangers who are awk-
ward and shy with each other and
who feel that there is a wall between
them that they do not know how to
break down.
Among all the pathetic letters
that come to this column none are
sadder than those written by wives
who are hurt and bewildered by the
