POWELL SCHOOL LUNCH

CHICAGO, Feb. 25 (ANP) -
Additional evidence Of the anti
Negro attitude Of the Chicago
Tribune, owned by Col. Mccormick,
rabid isolationist who is considered
to be the bedrock of midwestern
reaction, was revealed in news

VETERANS UNITE FOR

NEW YORK, Feb. 25 (ANP) =
Pledging to fight fascism in Amer
lea as fearlessly as they fought it
on foreign shores, the United Vet
erans for Equality announced re-
Gently program of action focused
on special problems of Negro vet
erans. Headed by Bertram Alves,
national chairman, drive has been
started to set up local chapters in
principal cities of the country with
national conference to be held in
Chicago April 6 and 7.
The ''Vets for Equality" cite the
recent Freeport, L. l., Staying of
Negro veteran and his brother as
an example of wave of brutal ter
ror being launched against Negroes,
especially Negro veterans, by
''fascist-minded Bilbo influenced"
segment of America, and the march
ing on the Birmingham courthouse
of over 100 Negro veterans as in
dicative of the new, militant stand.
Negro veterans, they declare, are
targets for fascist attack because
they are demanding the civil rights
for which they are supposed to have
fought. With attainment of these
rights as their goal, the newly or
ganized vets are seeking members,
regardless of race or creed, to "com-
bat the offensive launched by the
fascist front in America to keep
Negroes in a second class citizen
status"

will smash John l.. Lewis, while pro-
tecting the union in all of its rights.
AS a matter of fact, the time to do
this was last fall, but since it was
not done then the time is now.
Mr.. Lewis has gone through his
usual farce of collective bargain
ing" conferences. My information is
that he has been even more arro-
CANT and insultingly dictatorial
than usual. I do not mean to say
that the operators anywhere nearly
resemble boys choir with their
stiff white cottas and upturned
eyes. There are grievances in the
mines that should be redressed, but
there can hardly be any doubt that
even If the operators had granted
Mr.. Lewis demands and more be-
sides, this coal strike would not have
been averted. Mr.. Lewis has to
parade his pover periodically. The
social and economic cost to the
country means nothing to him.
The time for Mr.. Lewis to find
his place is past due If we could
not tolerate Hitler or Mussolini
IN Europe we should not put up
with one here. Some one should
pluck Mr.. Lewis eyebrows. The cost
would be great, but not so great as
later. 1t would be an investment
that in the end would pay divi-
dends.
Evening star., 1946-04-08

game, in order that Mr.. Lewis might
have more power and glory. I sug-
gested that the President himself
ought to lead the fight against Mr.
Lewis, or should delegate some one
else to do that with the full support
of the President behind him. The
President did little hemming and
having, but it takes more than
hemming and having to prove to
Mr.. Lewis that he cannot arbitrarily
close our manufacturing plants, put
stop to transportation and deprive
our homes of heat.
Last fall, despite a supposedly
binding contract, Mr.. Lewis caused
a strike of the bituminous mines.
The President. at the suggestion of
Secretary of Labor SchWellenbach,
delegated to that gentleman the
authority to handle this strike.
Secretary SchWellenbach failed as
completely then as he failed re-
Gently in preventing the present
strike. The administration should
realize that there is now no COM
pelling necessity of war to produce
coal at almost any cost and that
while the miners should be dealt
with justly, Mr.. Lewis should be
put in his place.
Sooner or later this country, If

ullllI ue eelS llLo way.
Regularly-in wartime as in peace
periods-he goes through this per-
formance with unbroken success. In
the past, aS now, the Government
humiliatins7y confesses itself help
less. Every time Mr.. Lewis gets less
than he demands but as much as he
expects. He lets the Government
partially save its face one way or
another-and the people pay the
price. This time, in addition to
the monetary cost, they will have
brought closer the destructive inf1a-
ton against which the administra-
ton is supposed to be making its
fight.
The words supposed to be" are
used because real fight can hardly
be reconciled with the supine and
futile administration attitude to-
ward tht 50 StrikeS-eSpecially a coal
strike-Which interfere with the pro-
duction, concededly vital if imitation
Is to be averted. Though in charac-
ter and intelligence Mr.. Lewis is by
far the best of all our labor leaders,
his strike is the most dangerous Of
all. However. there is no use blam-
Ing Mr.. Lewis, no matter how un-
reasonable his demands-or, for that
matter, any of the other men in his
line of business.
The plain truth is that they are
operating within the law and doing
only what the Government not only
permits but has steadily encour-
aged for more than 10 years. Mr..
Lewis and these labor leaders would
hardly be human if they did not
take advantage of this Moreover.
they would lose their jobs if every
year they did not, with the strike
threat and governmental encourage
ment, gouge from the employer more
money and more privileges for their
members
Demand Inevitable.
The CIO automobile and steel
unions having, with Government
help, obtained large wage increases
for their men, it was inevitable that
MIR. Lewis should demand even more
for his, and there just is no sense
in denouncing him for that. The
men with whom to be indignant are
the elected representative of the
people who, for political reasons,
put these labor leaders in position
where they can, with governmental
and judicial sanction, defy public
opinion and endanger the public
welfare.
Primarily upon these elected
representatives rests the RESPONSE
blllty for what practically every
reasonable man comedies to be an
unhappy national condition fraught
with considerable peril for us all
But indignation is equally righteous
toward members of Congress and
those in high executive positions
who, now recognizing the dangers
and evils of the situation which
they have aided in creating, through
sheer political coWardice, are re-
strained from moving to correct it.
1t is these politicians, who either
actively or passively continue to
make the interests of the labor
lobby paramount to the interests of
the public, against whom the public
wrath should be directed. Until the
great unorganized masses of voters
grasp this fact and show their re-

When there is a contract in force,
strikes occur" because the men are
tired" or because it is Friday, or
Saturday. or Monday. Pretending
that he keeps" his contracts, John
L. Lewis has staggered down the
street of our economy trying to per-
suade the public that he is not the
undesirable citizen that he is.
Told Truman in October.
I told President Truman last Oc-
tober Is, that, sooner or later, Mr.
Lewis would have to be smashed,
and that that was the time. We
could not much longer permit this
arrogant and brutal man at his will
to decide whether we should have
coal or not. I said to the President
that I believed that Mr.. Lewis was
losing control of his men. Some of
them were showing signs that they
were tired of being pushed about on
the board. like paWns in a chess

Travel Was Different.
In my day, train travel was much
different. The ads of today show
travellers boarding the train in theil
best clothes. When I first startee
riding trains we all had train outfits
and they were the worst in oul
wardrobes. Something that cinders
wouldn't hurt was the general idea

Then came lunchtime. No diners
