Those editors o. the commercial press who are shouting to high
heaven about the arrogance of John L. Lewis and his miners give
us a pain at the lower extremity of our spine.
Hypocritical prostitutes that they are, capHalisms stooges of Jour
nalism ignore the fact that during most of the years they've been
pedding their wares they have been extoling the private~profit system
and pointing with pride-and with their tongues in their cheeks-to
the fact that workers who don't like their jobs have a right to quit
That was the way industrial injustice was rationaized when work
employers held the upper hand. But now they don't want to live up to
their age-ong philosophy of freedom" Now they are suggesting that
John L. Lewis ought to be put to jail and that Congress ought to pass
a law"
widespread inconvenience and suffering that a protracted mine strike
would cause.
But neither arc we putting the burden of responsibility upon the
Miners Union.
John Lewis told the mine owners the score in their own language
even before the miners exercised thr constitutional right to stop work
ing" He listed some of the disadvantages of the miners jobs and then
told the operators that unless they made conditions better he doesn't
anymore"
That placed the burden squarey upon to the operators. They own
the mines. Why, then, don't they hire men to operate them? They be-
leve in the law of supply and demand don't they? Why, then don't
they offer conditions that will provide a supply of workers?
Those editors who are knocking Lewis and the miners never did
during those dark days of depression that began in 1329-When mil
lions of needy Americans were without the things that idle factories
could have produced-but didn't because the owners couldn't make
profit out of abundance. Then it was proper to close the industries,
wasn't it?
Our answer then was mo-" 1t wasn't good social ethics then and
it isn't now.
But we don't advocate putting union leaders in Jail or forcing
workers to produce-for the profit of a privileged class of owners. We
have a better method, a remedy for the unemployment of ayoHs and
Cor the idleneSS of strikes.
Our way of setting this matter of unemployment strikes and short
ages is to end the profit motive that is the handspring of human aciv-
:ty. We would make the mines-and all basic industries-the property
of all the people. And then w would produce abundance for the use
of the people who do the Notwithstanding Labor Advocate.

Some More free Enterprise"

he insurance companies are down to the last $500 000 900 worth
Of property they acquired through mortgage foreclosures during the
depression, according to Roger Budrow, financial editor of The Indian
apois News.
This, Mr.. Budrow points out is only 10 per cent of the property
they obtained in that way at that time.
In other words, the insurance companies cleaned up three billion
dollars worth of property by throwing families out of their homes
and off their farms during the administration of Herbert Hoover.
Now the insurance companies are selling this property at inflated
prices causing by big business pressure N the OPA.
They take it away from people during a depression and sell it back
10 them at high prices during good times" Then they sit back and
wait for the next depression SO they can take the property back again.
It ilegal, the corporations shout that free enterprise" is in jeopardy.
Get rid of the OPA!" they demanded. 1T is destroying the Ameri-
can way of life.
They know that the OPA is the only barrier to initiation. They also
know that depressions follow initiation. Therefore, if they can kill the
OPA they can sell everything at high prices and when the depression
comes they a get it back again. Thus they would have both the money
and the property.
And SO the pressure continues to raise prices and weaken the OPA.
Corporation lobbyists claim that the OPA is inefficient, that it permits
black markets and "stranges" legnime business
But whenever the OPA asks for enough funds to enforce price
ceilings and wipe out the black markets, it is opposed by these sam
iypocritcal corporation lobbyists.
A reactionary Congress listens to the lobbyists and refuses to give
OPA the monye it needs. They go even further and cut OPA appro-
priations SO low that it is forced to curtail its operations.
Congress is enforcing ineficiency in the OPA. 1t will not permit
the OPA to hire the enforcement agents it needed to run down the black
marketeers. And a the OPA is crippled, prices rise higher and higher.
Congress is attempting to make the public believe that the OPA
has failed. 1t has not. 1t has saved the public billions of dollars. 1t has
kept roofs over the heads of working men, protecting them from real
estate profiteers. 1t can prevent initiation if Congress will let it.
But Congress listens when big money talks.
And three billion bucks amt hay-The International Teamser.

Younger ond Smurter

You guessed it: CLIO leaders are
younger and better educated than
the AFL brethren-and, incidental
ly, we may add, they're smarter
and lower paid.
A study by c. Wright Mills, in
the Public Opinion Quarterly, re-
veals that AFL leaders are, typical
ly, between As and 70, with $50
over SO and 10 over 70.
CIO leaders, on the other hand.
r typically between 80 and As,
with only go over 60 and none
ove 70. The average CLIO leader
is 20 years younger than corpora
ton executives and IA years young
er than AFL leaders.
Forty-six percent of CIO leaders
are high school graduets, and 80
per cent went to college, a higher
percentage in both cases than in
the AFL.
In national origin and religious
utilization, there is not much diff
ference between the two groups
83 per cent of AFL and CLIO lead

THE Most Superior Member
Of The Superior Race"

When Dr.. Hjamar Schacht, Oh trial as a criminal, told the
Nurnberg court that Hitler deceived the world, Germany and me-,
one felt he was placing the victims in ascending order of Importance.
The arrogant former head of the Reichsbank has always regarded him
self a the most superior member of a superior race. 1t vas a a Pan
German, anxious to enhance his countrys power, that he supported
Hitler thinking he could use him. He admitted OF the witness stand
that he approved the original NAi program, apart from it's anu-Semitic
teatures-an objection he did not press to the point of refusing to sign
degrees FOR the seizure Of Jewish property. He admitted, also, response
biity for financing the rearmament program and in fact, for all actions
of the Nazi Cabinet up to 1887 when Goering, whom he despises, mani
pulated his removal as Minister of Economy. But he suggested, the
Court ought to overlook this record in view of the fac. that he turned
against Hitler in 1889, supplied Allied representatives with warnings
and information, and eve took part in the 1914 assassination plot. The
evidence he produced in support of these claims was not, however, very
conclusive. No doubt, supreme egoist that he is, he decided that a
regime which has dispensed with his services "a doomed and looked
tor a line of personal retreat. But, having also a healthy regard for his
own skin, he covered his tracks so carefully that, even in 1914, he was
arrested only o n suspicion, or perhaps by arrangement. After all a few
months as a specially privileged prisoner was a small premium to pay
for the opportunity to depict himself in court as a Nazi victim. -

WAR CLAIMS RACKET
MAY RESULT IN a
VAST SCANDAL

A huge racket" is shaping up
behind the Genes in Washington.
American business men are de-
handing that Uncle Sam ''compen-
safe" them for damages to factories
and other properties they own
abroad.
Some of these claims are cover
ed by a bill which is now being
studied by the Senate Judiciary
Committee. Others are being placed
in the hands of lobbyists who pro-
mise to push them through.
The bill would authorize collec-
ton of claims for damages done
clear back to 1887, nearly five
years before this country entered
the war. That provision would open
the door for fantastic raids on the
u. S. Treasury by business men
who assert their properties in China
were injured by the Japs.
In other cases, American corpo-
rations which own factories in
Germany, want compensation for
damages by American bombs, al
though those factories helped the
Nazis prepare for and wage war
and thus cost American lives.
