Showdown With Lewis

Showdown With Lewis
Belated though it be, the administra-
ton decision to have a showdown with
John L. Lewis, head of the miners
union, is heartening.
1t is in short contrast with the gov
ernment's previous %surrenders to the
pitmen's chieftain and encourages the
hope that his custom of riding rough
shod over federal authority and mine
operators alike is to be ended.
This hope gains strength in view of
Secretary of the Interior Krug's notice
to the miners that the mines must re-
main in operation as long as they are
being operated by the government, as
specified in the contract signed last
May. Lewis has claimed that the con-
tract can be broken and has stood pat
on that grounds, which, in the opinion
of informed observers, means that II ne
calls the men out, as he threatens to
do, he may have to give an accounting
to the courts either in a civil action or
as 2 violator of the Smith-Connally
Labor Disputes Act.
With President Truman backing MIR.
Krug, together with the seizure OF all
mined coal for ~rationing, Lewis supre-
macv is in the direct line OF fire. he
will fight back with all the ingenuity
and cunning that have marked his
he is a crafty fighter-but
It is time to determine once for all
whether he or the United States gov
eminent is the most powerful.
Considering the hold Lewis has on
the miners, it is probable that coal pro-
duction will fall off because OF strikes
in some fields. Yesterdays dispatches,
in fact, showed that some mines IN
PENNSYLVANIA and southern Illinois were
already closed.
Interviews with miners here and
there have revealed that while many
of them do not want to strike they are
bound so tightly by the union that they
would walk out when Lewis tells them
to do so, whatever the consequences.
A general strike, if one should come
despite the Krug notice, would cause
considerable suffering among private
citizens dependent upon coal for heat.
But it is said in informed circles that
there is sufficient bitumnous coal to
maintain normal railroad and utility OPP
erations for from twenty-five to sixty
days.
Notwithstanding the situation in its
various aspects, and in what may lie
ahead, there is no possible reason to
doubt that the vast majority of the
American people will hold up Mr.. Grug's
hands for victory in his battle with
Lewis.

bold enough to try to dictate foreign
policy to our national State Depart
ment. Russia is against Franco, so
the communist element of the N.
M. w. were going to starve out
Franco Spain and thus create a
new revolution which would deliver
the country to Stain after the man
ner of Poland and Ju%goslavia, by
refusing to sail stuff to Spain. So
the Wagner Act would become a
weapon of unprovoked, aggressive
and fatal war against a friendly
power.
Petrillo censored a play, as he
has authority to do under our laws
and his own union constitution, be-
cause it mentioned John L. Lewis,
whom he hated. A new writer's
union recently has come along, pro-
posing to Hitlerize or Staliaize all
dissenting authors by making it
impossible for publishers to present
their books or producers their
plays. These, too, are 'labor's
gains cherished by the progress
sives."
Here are only some of thousands
Of details Of an evil mess created
by the new deal in the name OF
progress" At the bottom of the
trouble is the power of the closed
shop. There is doubt, even among
those who favor the open shop, that
Congress has constituted authority
to enact an open-shop law. That
is something for Congress to study,
although the government has flag
rantly imposed the closed shop on
millions Of workers and would seem
to have an equal right to insist on
the reverse.
n the debate On this, the "pro-
gressive" now dealers and union
GERS will be haunted, if not neces-
sarily embarrassed, by the dicta
not only Of Mime. Frances Perkins,
who grudgingly gave the open shop
her endorsement, but of their great
departed leader, Franklin D. Roose-
welt, himself, for, in the autumn OF
1941, il a scrap with John L. Lewis,
Roosevelt said the government
would not order and Congress would
not pass legislation ordering a
closed shop, because chat would be
too much like the Hitler method
toward labor"
OF course, he WEIGHED on this by
one Of his characteristic tricks aad
did order the closed shop in that
very case. But. as a declaration of
principle, there the old master
stands with those who insist that
the closed shop is Hitlerian and un-
American.

Careful study of the defensive
play in today's hand is worthwhile.
The declarer was an outstanding
player, but sitting in the West
position was one Of the Worlds
ranking Life Masters. The con-
tract was not abnormal, and de-
clarer's only problem was to es-
tablish the diamond suit.
South won the opening heart
lead with the queen, and his in
tention was to play the ace of
diamonds, then lead the jack of
diamonds and pass it. This would
enable him to get into dummy
with the six Of diamonds and thus
make five diamond tricks.
However, when he led the jack
Of diamonds, West put on the ten
spot. Now South reasoned that if
West held the queen and ten, it
was unlikely that he would play
the ten-spot and thus jeopardize
his chance to make a diamond
trick. East must have the queen,
and it would drop if the king was
played from dummy. The expert
fell for the play, went up with
dummy's king, and his contract
was defeated.
"A tricky play like this can be
used only against a good player
who will stop and reason it out.
If West had refused to cover the
jack of diamonds against an aver
age player he would probably play
low from dummy anyway and
West would not get a trick at all.

Brings EN- Back Alive

Brings EN- Back Alive
NJ OF so many years ago mother
punished her s9n for trying to
capture a buzzing rattlesnake near
their home in the outskirts of Dali
las, Texas. He wanted it to sell to
a man in Minneapolis, MINI, who
made snake oil.
When the family moved to Chicago
this young fellow was no longer able
to catch animals and birds as he
could in Texas. But he often went
to the Lincoln Park ZOO to satisfy
his desire to own strange animals
and birds from far off lands.
That was years ago. Now he can
60 into almost any zoo or circus
menagerie in the United States and
greet those behind the bars as past
acquaintance. His name is Frank
Buck and wherever there are wild
animals in captivity in this country,
some of them are there because
"Buck brought 'em back alive"
Some of the rarest animals Buck
has ever brought back were OBJ
tanned, not only with courage, but
with this friendly diplomacy. His
skill in handling the native people
of the jungle and his ability to make
friends with Oriental potentates ac-
count for his opportunities to go
where animals are to be had and for
the permission he has received to
take them away With him.
Among the strange people with
whom he deals, he is great "tuan"
or chief-both to the coolies of the
Malay peninsula and to the ra1ahs
of India. But more important of
all, perhaps, is that he no longer
has any fear of his mother punish
ing him for catching snakes.

SHORTS AND MIDDLINGs

Inspection of hay ropes and re-
pairs or requirements where needed
would save several bad accidents in
Ohio this month. Haying is a rush
job, and accidents increase when
work is done hurriedly. Ropes,
along with most other farm equip
ment, were scarce in war years and
many now in use are badly worn.
Field agents reported on May 30
that the 1916 sugar beet acreage will
be considerably larger than any crop
in the preceding three years. About
85 per cent of the beets were plant
ed when the report was made. The
Great Lakes states had 138,431
acres of beets planted May 80, as
compared with 56,401 acres on that
date and total of 135,195 acres for
the entire season in 1945.
