If you want to get yourself
misty-eyedly nostalgia drop around
to The Star neWsroom around two
o'clock some morning and let mt
show you some back issues of The
Star.
If you're interested in becoming
thusly nostalgia you'd better get
around here pretty soon. Because
The Star is destroying these back
issues. Not that We have no senti-
ment for the past. Far from that.
But The Star is having all it's back
numbers preserved by the new
micro-filming process, l believe ii
is called, and We'll have no further
need to keep the rather bulky
back numbers.

filming process works something

This Ought To Do It

reasonable controls over union labor,
has been vetoed. President Truman's
bill providing for the induction of
strikers into the military forces, among
other things, and promptly approved
in the House of Representatives, has
slim chance of passing in the Senate.
Thus legislation to break the DONNA
ton of labor is at 8 standstill, and one
may reasonably and sadly wonder
whether other bills will be Forthcoming
only to die, and labor extend it's powers.
The prospect is not pleasing, if the
decision is left to the White House and
Congress. But it is not necessary to
leave it to these two branches of gov
eminent. The judiciary, in a recent
decision, has provided the means of
breaking the labor yoke, Willingly or
not.
The remedy is found in the United
States Supreme Courts unanimous
opinion upholding fines of $685. 900
against the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco
Company, the Liggett & Myers Tobacco
Company, and the American Tobacco
Company and it's subsidiary, American
Suppliers, Inc, on charges of violating
the Antitrust Act. The court holds
that monopoly may exist ever when
there is no exclusion of competitors.
In summing up Justice Burton
says:
1.-THE authorities support the view
that the material consideration in de-
termining whether a monopoly exists
is not that prices are raised and that
competition is actually excluded, but
that power exists to raise prices or to
exclude competition when it is desired
to do So"
1t three great tobacco companies can
be heavily fined because they have

petition, why cannot labor unions be
dealt with in the same manner when
they raise the price of labor and exclude
%non-union workers from employment?
1t is a poor rule that doesn't work
two ways.
Having failed in their efforts to
get a square deal in their disputes with
labor leaders, manufacturers certain.
ly ought to get redress from the courts
in civil actions, similar to those brought
against the tobacco firms, and the
Supreme Courts ruling in those cases
ought to apply in their litigation. The
Supreme Court obviously has establish
ed a precedent which, in ordinary legal
proceedings, has as deep significance
the n case as in the other.

 Ickes accompanied his article with a columnists' creed. He said col- umnists should remember that they are not infallible and that the truth is not served by dogmatism. They should make some allowance for error and remember their own hu- man frailty.
 Occasionally" Ickes wrote of his colleagues, "they might even give the victim the benefit of the doubt; they might at times assume that all men in public life are not neces- Sarily dishonest or incompetent. It is the columnists' first duty to be truthful.
 Should Avoid Suspicion
 ''They should be careful not to give cause for suspicion that they are tearing down certain men in public life because they are secretly encouraging the ambitions of others from whom they are receiving or expecting favors."
 This later admonition will arouse among newspapermen and politi- clans whoop of incredulous laugh ter. The old Ick was a pretty good Cabinet officer and a first rate ad- miniStrator and the best hater who ever came to town. When he hated one of his fellow office holders he hated him all over. And there never was hereaboutS handler fel- low than Ickes in slipping to a newspaper pal deadly bit of news or anecdote with which to sandbag the other fellow. Ickes, however, was only one of many who knew how to do that. He neither invent ed nor patented the procedure and it flourishes here now, as ever.
 The Capitol anticipates with con- siderable interest what the assailed newspaper men and women may now have to say about Ickes. Most of them are able to defend them selves. That goes double for sev- eral of them, including Mrs. Pat terson.

 More important, it has agreed that the provisional agenda for reg ular meetings must be circulated three days in advance except in ur- gent circumstances. That means that new proposals must lie on the Council table for three days before being debated unless an LIN mem- Der demands immediate considera- ton because of urgent circum- stances

 ". The management blew up all possibility of settlement of the strike, which is now in the middle of it's 10th week, by refusing to make a firm offer of 18 1-2 cents an hour"
 C. The American Brass Com pany insists that if their employees wish to return to work they must return at the wages that existed before the strike, and they must wait until the O.P.A. acts on the company's further application for price increases. Not satisfied with the interim price relief already granted. which comes to $33 a ton on the composite average of brass mill products prices, the American Brass Company is holding out for more than twice that amount of price increase and refuses to bar gain in good faith with the union representing its C.T.O.-organized employees until it gets a further guarantee of increased profits from the government"
 ''The union knows, however, that the American Brass Company has already granted 1872 cents an hour increase without any strings att tached to its own employees in the Kenosha, Wis, branch"
 '"The joint committee voted to bring charges against the Amer ican Brass Company before the National Labor Relations Board, on the grounds that by so clearly dis eliminating in this matter of the 181a cent wage offer against the 12,0O0 employees organized by the C.IO., 1t is guilty of failure to bar gain collectively in good faith, as required by the terms of the Fed eral law
 The company proposes to destroy the entire basis of every employees security in his job by tearing up the seniority rights which have hitherto been basic part of the union agreement"
 ". Such proposals prove that the American Brass Company has no present intention of settling the strike. How long will the American Brass Company be able to get away with arbitrary behavior and com pletely disregard the welfare of not only it's employees and their families but the entire community"
 That depends largely on the sup port which our union receives from the people of the community. We sincerely hope that responsible citi- zens in every community where American Brass employees work will assert themselves in some fashion, possibly through the formation of Citizens Committees, which will ef- Actively bring the pressure of pub lie opinion to bear on the company for an early and just settlement of this strike.''

 To Walk Out Saturday
 Other labor developments:
 1. CIO. and AF.L. unions set midnight Saturday as the dead line for a strike of sugar refin- cries along the Atlantic seaboard.
 2. Striking tugboat workers withdrew their picket lines at most piers in the port of Phila- delphia and some 1000 harbor workers who had refused to cross the lines were expected to re- turn to their jobs.
 3. Ford Motor Company was recalling 35,00O production work CTS laid off because of the steel shortage.
 4. James c. Petrillo, president of the American Federation of Musicians, A.FL., opened con- tract negotiations with eight ma jor motion picture companies by presenting 91 demands, including one that the present minimum salary of $5,200 year be doubled. Grant Oakes, president of the CI.O. United Farm Equipment and Metal Workers Union, said he was quite confident" that the unions

were:
 l. The United Nations will suc- ceed If the United States continues it's present role of vigorous world leadership.
 2. China stands Squarely be- hind the LIN, but the leaders of the leaders of the present Chinese government are not so naive as to believe that they can sit supinely and depend upon the LIN to pres erve peace without the active sup port of all Democratic peoples.
 3. China signed the Sino-Rus- sian treaty last year in good faith and expects to observe its provi- sionS scrupulouSly.
 He said that China had not seen the text of the Yalta agreement un- til it was released by the State De- partment recently. At the time the Soviet Chinese treaty was nego- tiated, he said, China knew the general sense of the Yalta agree ment in which the late President Roosevelt agreed to persuade China to grant Russia widespread conces- sions in Manchuria and to recog- nize the independence of Soviet Outer Mangolia.
 Maj. .-Gen. Patrick Hurley came to Chungking shortly after MT. Roose- velt'S death and informed China in @ general way what had been de- cided at Yalta regarding Manchuria, Chiang said.
 Peace Outlook Excellent
 The Generalissimo said that the present American foreign policy leaves little to be desired. He said the outlook for peace was excellent if the United States maintains its present firm support of the LIN.
 Chiang predicted that conditions in China should improve within a few months when communications are restored and foreign supplies ar- rive. He said the speed with which Chinese economy is restored de- bends largely upon the speed with which supplies arrive from America
 The Generalissimo said he would like to visit the United States for at least one month after the new coa- lition government is organized.
 He denied reports that China had asked Russia to delay the withdraw al of Russian troops from Manchur- ian cities to gain time for Chinese government troops to arrive and enter the cities at the moment the Russians departed, thus preventing Chinese Communists from gaining control of the cities.
