Owners Hold Out
As Ship Officers
Walk Picket Lines

Washington (FP)-The nations
ports were tied up in the second
maritime strike of the month Oct.
Ia, with the spotlight on the
Labor Department negotiations be-
tween unions and employer repre-
sentatives to work out a solution
to the deadlock between shipown-
ers and ships officer spokesman.
While AFL captains and mates
walked picketlines with their CIO
brothers from the engineers de-
partment, representatives of both
Master Mates & Pilots and Marine
Engineers Beneficial Association
were met by adamant refusal of
Pacific American Shipowners As
sociation negotiators to give in on
demands for union security clasues
in their contracts.
Working through long hours,
conciliators repeatedly ecured
agreement of union and eastern
operators to settle separately from
west coast group, then through
government order to enforce the
contracts on government-owned
ships on the Pacific coast.
The two officer unions struck
early Oct. / after last-minute ne
gotiations here failed to achieve a
settlement of union demands for
improvement of working condi-
tions, vacations, higher wages (35
per cent for MEBA, 80 per cent
for MMP) and the all-important
union security provisions.
PASA Council Marion Plant,
conceding that about 80 per cent
of the associations ship officers
are voluntarily union members
now, claimed that union security
clauses of any sort would amount
to closed shop, and that the 81
ship operators in his group un-
animously backed his holdout
stand. A closed shop among Of
ficers was unthinkable, he said.
At latest reports, top Labor De-
partment and U. S. Maritime Com
mission officials were comforting
on the wisdom of the separate
peace in the east and gulf ports
and ways of carrying out contract
provisions on government-owned
western vessels.

1t was, however a hard-won vic
tory, marked by frequent violence.
Only last month the offices of the,
Pacific Press strike committeQl
were wrecked by company thugs
who beat into unconsciousness the
lone union member on guard, 49,
year-old Don Steep. A few days
before, another striker, John Sulli-
van, was beaten after leaving the
picketline.
A decisive factor in finally
cracking the company was the re-
cent close cooperation between the
printing trades and the American
Newspaper Guild in which the
giuld lent mass support to Pacific
Press picketlines in return for
AFL aid at the Hearst Herald
Express, where the guild is strik-
ing for higher pay.
AS result OF the workers soli-
darity, Pacific Press, largest pros
pective printing plant in the U. s.,
is on the road to becoming a COM
pletely union shop.

Washington (FP)-The Nuern-
berg verdict, acquitting three top
Nazi defendants and giving prison
sentences to seven others, insults
humanity said Executive Secretary
Martin Pepper of the National
Lawyers Guild here Oct. /. Pepper
said the news had shocked the
MIG, many of whose 5000 men,
bers telephoned him from all over
the country to express their dis
approval of the unjust outcome
of the trials.
In formal statement, Pepper,
who was in Nuremberg in March
and April as an official observer
for MIG, declared: ''The Nuern-
berg verdict insults humanity. 1t
is travesty upon the millions of
dead and tortured and homeless
who suffered the agonies of hell so
that the world might be freed
from the terrors of fascism and
war.
Contrary to many hasty i'm
pressions, the Nuremberg decision
represents a setback to the devel-
opment of international law as an
effective instrumentality for safe
guarding the peace. 1t has been
said that the court has by its deci-
sion made the waging of aggres-
sive war a crime. That is not the
fact. This important principle of
international law was established
by London agreement and charter
which set up the Nuremberg tri-
bunal. The Court was bound by
that law and its function was
merely to apply it.
''The real truth is that the tri-
bunal has used it's power in such a
manner to limit application of the
law against aggressive war. In
deed, it has gone so far in its
narrowness of viewpoint as to un-
do the expressed will of the gov
ernments which agreed to punish
the major Nazi war criminals.
"Thus, in acquitting the Nazi
cabinet and military high com
mand, the effect of the majority
decision is to determine the sub
stance of every United Nations
agreement on war crimes from the
Moscow declaration to the Lon
don agreement, all of which has

as their objective the punishment
of all war criminals, regardless OF
rank or authority. 1t is obvious
that if it remains unchallenged,
the decision will give encourage
ment to war-minded military men
to further aggression under cover
of immunity.
"In acquitting Schacht, Nazi fl
nance minister, the court has, In
effect, told the world that those
Nazi industrialists and financiers
who subsidized the rise of the Nazi
party and created the economic
base without which Hitler would
have been powerless, do not share
the guilt of aggression and crimes
against humanity. We condemn
this as bad law and bad morality.
The National Lawyers Guild and
other legal authorities have proved
beyond any reasonable doubt that
Nazi industrialists and financiers
who participated in the policy OF
the government or in economic
pillage were war criminals.
"The real meaning of the
Schacht acquittal, however, be-
comes clear, only when it is under
stood as a part of the whole Ger
man policy of the United States
apd Craat Rritain
"The people of our country, and
particularly the members of the
bar, feel a deep sense of shame
that our representative on the tri-
bunal joined in this decision. Yet
it should not have been unexpect-
ed. An examination of Francis
Biddle's record will indicate that
he always possessed a fervor for
the civil rights of fascists in our
own country. The seditionists are
still free. And in Nuremberg, as |
have previously stated to many
bar association gatherings in all
parts of the United States, Francis
Biddle leaned backwards in his in
sistence that the Nazi defendants
and their council should be able to
use the tribunal as a forum justi-
flying Nazi policies.
1--WE can recall the contrast be-
tween this attitude of Mr.. Biddle's
with his crusading zeal as attorney
general against American labor
leaders. What else, then, can our
country expect when such men are
appointed judges to preside over
the trial Of Nazi leaders? The
American legal profession has the
duty to tear away the mask of
liberalism when it serves merely to
cover the betrayal Of democracy.
"The National Lawyers Guild is
resolved to do everything within
its power to prevent the Nuern-
berg decisions from becoming an
obstacle to the growth of inter-
national law. This is the least we
can do to restore public confidence
in the dignity of our profession"

vention since they broke with the
body 10 years ago to form the
nucleus of the CIO, as Grave and
courageous men" to whom labor
owes debt of gratitude.
Without naming him, Green
praised UNIV President John L..
Lewis as zone who stood up and
fought for national welfare fund.
The pointed praise for the miners
chieftian, who was unable to at
tend the convention because he Is
recovering from an appendectomy,
lent substance to rumors that
Lewis my replace Green as AFL
president at the 1947 convention.
Obviously pleased at the ovation
he received, Green addressed the
$50 delegates for approximately
an hour, opening with review of
labor's war record, but quickly
turning to the anti-labor drive now
in progress.
He charged that the national
situation is confused and that
labor is disturbed because the gov
ernment has kept wage and price
controls and attempted to veto
collective bargaining agreements.
"We resent that" Green said,
"We protest against it. And here
in this convention we will express
our will"
On the political action front,
Green received wide applause when
ne promised: "We are going to
drive hard, united and successful
ly, against those reactionaries in
Congress and in legislatures who
would pass legislation to curb free
unions"
Green defended the closed shop
and was again applauded when he
warned that union men should not
be forced to work with nonunion
men by any set of laws.
A large section OF the opening
speech was concerned with a blist-
ering attack ON American commun-
ism and the Soviet Union.
"There is little difference, if
any" Green said between com
munism and the fascism of
Mussolini and Hitler. The philoso-
ply of both calls for dictatorship
and the subjugation Of the individ-
ual to the will Of the state"
The question of the day, Green
said, is whether labor shall be
"free or fettered." He predicted
that "with one voice this conven-
tion will proclaim its denunciations
Of communism, open or hidden or
disguised in any way"
"We call upon workers every
where TO unite with us for Ameri-
canism and against communism
and totalitarianism," he declared.

dress the American Legion conven-
tion in San Francisco Oct. 2.

guns, into Connersville two months

Retailers PIun
Labor Moves In
Closed Session

Washington (FP)-The Ameri-
can Retail Federation, represent
ing 100000 large and small retail
ers the country over, were
strangely reticent about making
public their intentions toward
labor in a meeting of their execu-
tives here Sept. 30.
Originally scheduling as an
open to the press a session on the
topic what Services a Trade As
sociation Can Render in Labor Dis
putes," the store men did a hasty
about-face and discussed their
labor business behind closed doors.
Also on the schedule was the mat
ter of what to do about the 40-hour
5-day week for retail store work
ers, which is apparently here to
stay.
The discussion on the 40-hour,
5-day week is said to have brough
forth such suggestions as these:
Never put any type of incentive
pay plan into a union contract.
Never let the union have say
on how many days and hours the
store shall be open, even when
there is a 40-hour, 5-day week.
Never offer that standard work
week until union known to be
majority demands it-then trade
if off for something more valuable
to the boss.
In another closed session, the re-
tailers discussed ways and means
of trying to cut down on social
security taxes and benefits.
While the executives We're hold
ing their secret sessions, the
United Retail Wholesale & De-
partment Store Employees were
holding their convention in Toledo,
O., with plenty Of room for the
working press.

Making the case public, Taylor
said, shows that "the American
people are becoming increasingly
aware of the fact that the large
monopolies, aided by their friends
in the army and navy, were able
to subvert President Roosevelt's
policy of equality of sacrifice.
These giant corporations used
the war situation as an opportun-
ity to make unprecedented profits
while workers were frozen in their
jobs and salary rates, and while
soldiers and sailors faced death
with no thought of reimburse
ment."

President Truman went before a
ONT session of Congress and asked
for extraordinary powers to restore
communications. Quite promptly the
House, 800 to 16, passed the neces-
sary act. Then Senate with its Pep
pers and Murrays stalls. The stuck
rail unions call off the strike but
they have already demonstrated that
changes in the laws are necessary to
care for the vital interests of the
hundred and thirty million people
not in the unions. Lewis's coal strike
is resumed but nobody knows what
the strike is for. Coal is necessary
to factories and railroads, offices
and homes. All will stop If the coal
strike lasts much longer. That is too
much power for one man or small
group Of men to have. 1t must be
corrected.
AS For The Supreme Court it is
essential that methods and terms be
corrected so that never again shall it
be possible for one man to pack the
Court for the lifetime of the appoin-
tees. Let no President have more
than four appointments. II deaths,
say, should make more necessary,
let the appointments be for limited
terms until the balance is restored.
