CHICAGO, May 21-(P)- Spring
lambs entered the Chicago market
Tuesday. For the first time this
season. city butchers paying as
high as $500 a hundredweight for
choice kinds.
Wooled lambs, however, were
practically absent from the acute
ly slender number delivered, leav-
ing the market to clipped kinds
with No. l and No. 2 skins. Slaugh-
ter ewes were scarce.
Yearlings and light steers bore
most of the cattle market, topped
at $17.85 under fairly broad outside
buyer demand. Choice to prime
o8O-pound heifers brought SITS,
but there was only a starvation
run Of COWS, bulls, and vealers.
Stock cattle fetched $14.50 to
$3.50.
Salab1e hogs totaled 1000 head,
and another 5000 came in direct to
packers. Shippers took 1000 head,
double the usual 1,000-head with
drawal. All movement was vir-
tually at ceiling prices.
Lessening supplies of feed grain
continued to show influence on the
hogs received, the average weight
yesterday getting down to PAT
pounds, compared with $50 a week
ago and 267 pounds a year ago.
This was the lowest average thus
far.
Total receipts were 1000 cattle,
700 calves, and 500 sheep.

A U. S. of Indonesiu?

II the agreement just arrived at
between the Netherlands negotiators
and DR.. Soekarno, de facto President
of the "Indonesian Republic" is
made to stick, a solution of the
thorny problem of the Netherlands
Indies Is in. sight. The agreement
itself appears to be a masterpiece Of
compromise between Dutch and In
donesian interests. It's scope can be
understood by brief survey of the
difficulties involved
!. The overall problem contains
three major factors: % The rela-
tions of the insurgent Indonesians,
centering in Java, and the Dutch;
90 the relations of those insurgents
with the rest of the Netherlands
Indies; 90 the status of the Neither
lands Indies as a whole toward the
Dutch Crown and the world.
The Indonesian revolt against the
Dutch colonial regime, fostered by
the japanese during their occupa-
ton, originated in Java, together
with the small adjacent island of
Madura, and latterly spread to the
very large contiguous island of
Sumatra. 1t has long been evident
that the weakened Netherlands
were unable to quell the insurgents
and restore prewar Dutch colonial
rule. On the other hand, the natives
are unable to restore the complex
economic structure on which the
very life of Java, especially, depends.
The Dutch have therefore proposed
to recognize these three rebellious
islands as "The Indonesian Repub-
lic," with full autonomy but in
economic cooperation with Dutch
interests.
However, this republic does not
include the rest of the immense
archipelago, inhabited by peoples
which have little in common with
the Javanese and have generally
accepted the return of Dutch au-
thority. These regions, formerly
known collectively as ''Buitenbeziet"
or Outer Possessions, are to- be re-
organized as the autonomous states
of Borneo and "The Great East" the
latter containing all the islands
between Celebes and Dutch New
Guinea. This triumvirate is ulti-
mately to be co-ordinated as "The
United States OF Indonesia." But
this political aggregate will, in turn,
form part of the "Netherlands-In-
donesian Union" a loose federation
similar to the British Common
wealth of Nations, all bound together
by common allegiance to the Dutch
Crown, the House of Orange.
Such is the ambitious pattern ar
rived at by the negotiators. There
will probably be little difficulty in
getting the Netherlands Parliament
to agree. DR.. Soekarno, however,
may have harder task selling the
idea to the extremist wing of the

lnjunctions and Coal Strikes
By Rerfra,, Bened;cf

The act had become dead letter with
the end Of hostilities a year before.
There was also the issue Of whether the
contract would be preached. Despite
the restraining order the strike went
into effect on November !.
Then, on November 8, the court issued
new order requiring that the strike be
called off by November IL. The union off,
cials on paper obeyed the order, but still
the men did not go back to work. There
was no legal nor constitutional way to
compel the workers to obey the paper
command of their union leaders, and
the Government did not try to drive
100000 miners into the mines at the
point Of the payonet nor to jail them.
The strike was called of December s,
when the union accepted 8 IA per cent
wage increase and arbitration which
later boosted the increase to ~ per cent.
%+k
Despite this 1919 experience President
Truman, in his address to Congress on
May as last, asked for power, not only
to draft strikers into the Army In emer-
gencies, but also to institute:
'Tnjunctive or mandatory proceedings
against any union leader 1orD1Qd1ng him
from encouraging or melting members
Of the union to leave their work or to
refuse to return to work; {and) subject
ing him to contempt proceedings for
failure to obey"
A bill embodying the Presidents re-
quests was Immediately passed by the
House It provided for the issuance Of
injuncttonS or restraining orders desnife
the provisions of the Norris-La Guardia
Act. The Senate also passed the bill

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

John. l.. Lewis. and his United Mine
workers, forcing a showdown with the
Federal Government, are taking the lead
In forcing Congress, as well as the ex-
ecutlye branch of government, to de.
Velop adequate measures of preventing
economic disaster and chaos at the
hands OF arbitrary labor leaders.
Inc time, In the opinion of leading
members of Congress, both Democratic
and Republican. has come to quit appeas-
ing the dynamic Mr.. Lewis. At present,
the play is entirely in the hands Of the
Executive. 1t must demonstrate its pow
er to deal with any minority or any
organization, labor or otherwise, which
declines to obey Federal law and fiouts
the courts. Either it does this, or It
raises in the minds of the American
people the question whether they nave
a government
The overwhelming opinion - which
might change-is that little could be
accomplished In the present struggle
with the coal miners, leader and with
the union by calling special session Of
the old Congress. The new Congress
meets January 8. It would be December
or thereabouts before Congress could
be brought back to Washington Even
II the House acted quickly, there is
always a question whether the Senate
with its rule of unlimited debate and
filibustering procliyities and its Murrays
and Peppers and Guffeys could be
brought to enact any remedial or pu-
nitive legislation. Furthermore, in the
case OF the coal mines, the Government
already has intervened under the pro-
visions Of the Smith Connally Act and
there Is ample law for dealing with Mr..
Lewis and the union Ii the Government
desires.
Mr.. Lewis attitude-and that OF his
union-has been threat to Government
itself and threat to the economic well
fare of the whole American people-not
to mention the people in war-torn
countries who face another cold winter.
There is legislation which Congress
can enact, If it will, to deal with future
threats to the peoples welfare by labor
organizations. Senator Ball, Republican,
of Minnesota in speech delivered re-
Gently in ST. Louis, declared for a law
outlawing the closed shop-the shop in
which membership in union is obiiga-
tory Ii man or woman is to have q Job
there. His proposal sent shivers down
the spines of some of his Republican
colleagues, who fear the wrath of labor
leaders. Yet the closed shop, plus the
check-of system of collecting union dues,
and the fact that the coal miners me-
gotiate contracts on an industry-wide
basis, makes possible the strangulation
hold which Mr.. Lewis has been able to
maintain in the past both on the Gov
-ernment and the country.

Juvenile Delinquency

Attorney General Clark told the
National Conference for the Preven-
tion and Control OF Juvenile Delin-
quency that he first began thinking
seriously about convening such q
conference when he visited the Ma
tional Training School for Boys here
about a year ago. He was disturbed"
by what he saw there. Had he been
able to visit the many similar insti-
tutions scattered throughout the
country he would have been even
more disturbed For the Nations re-
form schools and detention homes
and jails are overflowing with teen
ayers riding the crest of the most
alarming juvenile crime wave in
years.
The statistics available to the con-,
ference are depressing. More IT
year-olds were arrested last year
than persons of any other age group.
Arrests OF girls under 21 increased
100 per cent last year over the last
peacetime year of 1941. One out of
every five persons arrested was un-.
der FL. And the figures for this year
are equally discouraging. On the re-
ceiving end of these police statistics,
FBI Director Hoover and Attorney
General Clark have taken leading
part In Waging a battle against
youthful lawleSsness. While the De-
partment of Justice, is directly con-
cerned with enforcement rather
than prevention, the Attorney Gen.
eral properly feels that the depart
ment has right to look into the
causes as well as the effects of crime.
It is on this theory that he called
the current conference Of Federal,
State and local authorities for a
round-table discussion of what, in
the long run, is a mutual problem.
The Federal Government should
give its leadership in this move
ment, but, as President Truman
pointed out in a letter to the confer
ence, the roots of the problem lie
far below the governmental level.
They extend right into the homes
and schools and churches of
America. 1t is at these lower levels
that the real battle against juvenile
delinquency and juvenile crime must
be fought. The major responsibility
for carrying on this battle of crime
prevention rests not on the law-en-
forcement officer but on the parents
and teachers of impressionable boys
and girls. The war brought break
down in parental discipline and a
disruption of youth-guidance pro-
grams, the effects of which we are
reaping now. Only q concerted, CO.
ordinated attack by every one con-
cerned, and especially by those close
to the roots Of the problem, can be-.
expected to improve conditions to
any material degree.

snip condition of employment" He
insisted the thing to do was to repeal
that proviso in the Wagner Act which
legaiizes contract for a closed shos,
He attacked the unions for running
roughshod over the rights of individual
workers, and using the same kind of
blacklist tactics to deprive them of the
opportunity to work which they pro-
tested against so bitterly when used bv
employers half century ago.
IL Is his contention that the closed
shop Is no longer necessary for the pro-
lection OF workers, because of the Wag-
ner Act passed in 1888. This act makes
It a law violation for an employer to
discriminate between union and nom
union employees or to fire any employe
Tor union activities. Mr.. Ball pointed
out that few decades ago the so-caIled
open shop" because Of the tactics of
some employers, was in reality CLOSED
shop" against any empIoye who had the
courage to join q union. These employ
ers simply declined to employ workers
who were members of union. and fred
those who joined unions. Under the
wagner Act the workers are today given
ample protection from this kind of CO.
ercion, and the right to bargain collec-
lively If they desire. What is needed
now Is protection for the individual
workers from arbitrary labor leaders and
union rules
II workmen are free to join or not to
JOIN union, to drop out If they don't
Like the policies followed, it will provide
the healthiest check on arbitrary and
unreasonable action by union leader
Ship" Mr.. Ball said.
%x
This Is fundamental and direct an
proach proposed by Mr. Ball to a serious
problem. That it viii be resisted bitterly
Is to be expected. Nevertheless, three
States in the last election voted, indi-
yidually, to outlaw closed shops, which
gives some idea of public sentiment on
the question.
Another problem with which the legis-
1ators will have to deal is the threat
contained in industry-wide collective
bargaining-which is now the rule in
coal, oil, steel. railroads, shipping and
communications. In other words. a
strike in any of these essential industries
and services, can hamstring all industry
and. cause injury to the great mass of
people. A prolonged work stoppage In
any one of them would halt all other
wheels OF industry.
The industry-wide collective bargain
ing plan is on the increase in this
country, too. The only present answer
to the threat of industry-wide strikes
Is Government seizure-which has al
ready happened in the coal mines. 1t
IS really no answer, certainly not good
answer. Congress win have to study
this problem carefully. 1t might, as Mr..
Ball suggested, apply the antitrust laws,
not to industry wide bargaining. but to
any industry-wide strike or lockout.

ments II Is interesting to recall how
bitterly the Moscow government warned
before the September plebiscite that
Greece was a menace to world peace and
that q monarchist victory would touch
off conflict.
AS far as Greece's own problems are
concerned the monareEist regime cer-
talnly is not without fault. Greek eager
ness to take the matter before the
United Nations was chilled until yester-
day by British and American diplomats.

But what is more important from the

Is the readiness Of the Communist ele-
ments behind the iron curtain" to take
advantage Of the Greek turmoil to serve
their own jackal purposes by gnawing
at the body Of Greece, prostrated by an
internal struggle between Left and
Right. The purpose Of Yugoslayia and
Bulgaria Is nothing less than self-aa-
grandizement at the expense Of Greek
territory.
What makes the problem extremely
vital for the American government is the
involvement OF its own interests in the
conf1ict. The future Of the Mediterran-
can is no longer matter of indifference

Greece could be the key to the Dar-

corridor to the Aegean through Eastern
Thrace, what would happen to that small
slice Of Greek territory which lies ada

OF Istanbul? With Bulgaria in possess
sion of one bank of the straits. what
resistance could be offered to Russia in

became partly Russian, what becomes of
the balance Of power in the Mediterra
mean? And after the Mediterranean what
about the Atlantic, with Communist

There is much for Americans-and
their policy cy-makers-to ponder in what

Evening star., 1946-11-21

In asking for q temporary restraining
order against the coal strike, the Gov
ernment argued that the Norris-Ia
Guardia Anti-injunction Act of 1882 did
not apply. The Governments position
was that the, 1882 act covered only dis.
putes between workers and private em-
ployers. not between workers and the
Government as an employer.
Judge GoldSborough evidently agreed
with the contention For the 1882 act
restricts temporary restraining orders by
Federal courts in labor disputes to q
tenure of five days. The act does allow
such orders to be issued without notice.
but only if the complainant persuades
the court that otherwise "a substantial
and irreparable injury" to his property
will be unavoidable For either a
many requirements are set, including
open hearings with full opportunity OF
cross-examination.
In cases OF contempt for violating an
order or injunction issued under the
act, the accused must get q speedy trial
before jury, unless the alleged con-
tempt was committed in the presence Of
the court or so near the court as to
interfere directly with the administra-
ton of justice" OF course, unless the
1882 act applies, court may sentence
for contempt without jury trial.
In September, 1919, the bituminous
miners demanded a go per cent wage
increase and 6-hour day They had
had no wage increase for almost two
years altfouph other wages had rann
up, prices had Skyrocketed, and price
controls had been lifted On October
81. Judge Anderson at indianapolis
granted the Government q temporary
restraining order against the strike
called for the following day.
This action was taken under the war
time Lever Good and Fuel ControD Act
making it unlawful to limit facilities for
producing or transporting food or fuel,
or to restrict their supply Of distribution.
