Capt. Bob Bartlett
(New York Times)

Although Bob Bartlett born in the nineteenth century he was in truth an Elizabethan. His high voice that defied the winds his mighty oaths uttered without sacrige his thick wrists and hands, nur- tured by rope and canvas bespoke the man of the sea eager to do battle with it and always unafraid. He was not only master mariner, but an uncanny ice pilot for he was blooded in the hard school of the Arctic He knew the coves and bays of Labrador and his native Newfoundland the glaciers from which ice bergs are caved the tides and currents o the straits that lead to the North and the vast icefieds of the Polar Basin. In this forbiddng region Bob Bartlett spent the greater part of his life he loved every head land and barren cliff. Fks4ss
 At 22 he began his career as an explorer under the eye of stern master Robert E. Peary, who asked much of his men, but not more than he himself was willing to give There followed for Bartlett an inter- Jude in the sealing trade. then came glorious ad- venture-Peary's dash to the Pole-in which Bob played large role, both as captain Of the Roosevelt and as member of the polar party There were some who said that Peary should have taken Bartlett all the way to the pole instead of ordering him to return from the advanced base but Captain Bob held that the decision was correct He understood the crcum- stances he was a sportsman, and though he missed the major glory, he had hard feelings Peary was his chief and, moreover, his hero
 After that Captain Bob became an explorer in his own right As captain of the Karuk he proved his resourcefulness in grave danger. When his ship was crushed in the ice he led his to Wrangel Island set out with an Eskimo the icefields to Siberia and returned with rescung party. Most of his men were saved.
 But he did not seek adventure for adventures sake. His Arctic voyages had a definite purpose In his famous little schooner, the Fife M Morrissey he dredged the sea bottom collected plants and animals, and surveyed aircraft bases in the north Many American museums richer for his labor many young Americans who sailed with him in later years, perhaps acquired some of his salty flavor.
 In all sailors there is streak of sentiment Cap
 tain Bob had his Whenever he returned to the little Newfoundland town of Brigus he had present for his mother, and invariably it a And when ever the Morissey back to New York there were mementos on board for the friends and comrades of Robert Abram Bartlett. The penetrating voice is silent but it echoes in the far reaches of the North and it is right to think that hardy spirit hoyers above the icefieds

ing trades unions. So he brought suit against the Hod carriers.
 Again the Supreme Court ruled against him.
 There was also the Petrillo case. Music Czar Petrillo had been con- spring with radio networks against independent radio stations. He had been keeping high-school musical programs off the air and he had been refusing to let his musicians work for certain independent broadcasters.
 Again Judge Arnold challenged this as monopoly, especially the angle that Petrillo was cooperating with the networks. But again the Supreme Court ruled otherwise.
 This further strengthened union monopoly. It meant that no musi- clan could exist, or in fact any ra- dio station, if either challenged Petrillo's power. It meant that when Lawrence Tibbett started an independent musicians union it was doomed to failure almost be- fore it started. For under the Su- preme Court ruling, Petrillo could close down a radio station merely because it did business with a rival union-and the law would uphold him.
 After Frankfurter wrote his de- cision in the Hutchinson case, the Supreme Court declined to hand down any more written opinions. It merely dismissed the Government's $ case without comment. The Court even refused to permit Thurman Arnold to submit brief or to ar- que the case.
 However, Congressman Mike Monroney Of Oklahoma some time ago introduced bill placing labor unions under the Sherman Anti trust Act. His bill, if passed, woulc change completely the Supreme Courts Interpretation; would alsC block the monopolistic contro which big unions have over certain industries; but would not interfer, with legitimate strikes.
 However, the labor -baiters wht are now yelling so loudly for pas, sage of the Case anti-labor bil gave absolutely no support to tht Monroney Bill, despite the fact tha it has been gathering dust in Con gress for months. Furthermore l Judge Arnold approached the U. !. Chamber of Commerce and Tn, 1; National Association of Manufac turers asking for their support. H, got nowhere.
 At that time, big business-or a least scme Of it's leaders-seemet content to go along with labo monopolies; which strengthens tn suspicion that some business firm are playing hand-in-glove with la bor leaders to keep out their owl business competitors.

BUFFALO, N. Y.-For more than four months, George Filsinger Qyn and his eight-year-old brother AL Ian worked on a homemade 12- foot sailboat and dreamed of their first cruise.
 Yesterday they launched the craft, climbed in, hoisted sail, and were promptly spilled into Buffalo River-they had neglected to pro- vide the boat with keel.

JOHN L. LEWIS GREEN LIGHT

JOHN L. LEWIS GREEN LIGHT
 This was the green light for ev- cry other union wanting to take advantage of it to start monopolis- tic expansion. It meant that the big union could raid the weak and get away with it. It meant that it could strike against a rival un- ion, with the employer sitting help less in between, until the smaller union was put out of business or ran for cover.
 And once you had huge vertical unions, it meant that one union boss could tie up the entire indus try-at times the entire country.
 Another case brought by Thur man Arnold which made labor his- tory. turned round the New Or leans truckers strike The National Labor R ions Board had certified a GO union as the recognized un- ion to be dealt with by the New Orleans Truc.-ers Association. But when the Truckers Association ia. iully tried to carry out the Nl-RB order, the AFL teamsters boycotted their trucks and refused to let them do business with New Orleans. warehouses.
 Again Arnold brought criminal action. Again the Supreme Court turned him down. Effect of this turndown was to make it impossible for the National Labor Relations Beard to carry out it's own rulings If a rival union didn't like the ruling and wanted to put the un- ion designated by the NLRB out of business, the Supreme Couri ruled that it was legal to do so.
 This was another milestone 1T the monopolistic march by whicf strong unions got stronger, veal unions got weaker, and labor leaders were built up to position where they could dominate the country.

Of time.
Just about q year ago the miners
were out under some specious pre-
text Of John L. Lewis. I told the
President then, as Secretary Schwel-
lenbach had already done, that the
Government should not take the
mines over, pointing out that sooner
or later Mr.. Lewis would have to
be smashed and that that was as
good time for 1t as any. But Presi-

whole.
Now that the election. is over and
the fate of Senator Kilgore no
longer a matter of concern to Mr..
Hannegan, Mr.. Truman may ex-
press himself along these lines.
Certainly, he must feel that way.
No one in his position could feel
otherwise. But, If he does not
speak, some one else should-and
act.
Certainly, no one group-let alone
one man-should be more powerful
than the Government. A strike
against the Government used to be
regarded as unthinkable. That,
with almost complete impunity, it
now can be openly threatened, shows
the evil extremes to which the pro-
fessional labor leaders of today are
prepared to go and how far along
the road to labor Leader domination

cratic administration contracted

litical coddling was adopted.

In, 10 save Secretary Krug's face for

Government more important even
than face-self respect. In any event,
Mr.. Krug was apparently left free to
continue inspecting" projects that
would not have run away, but could
just as well have been inspected
after election.
Mr.. Lewis is the most insolent man
In the United States, the most ruth
less and the greediest for power.
Now, apparently, he is out to DEM
onstrate that he Is stronger than the
United States Government. With the
assistance of the President he has
already put Secretary Krug in his
place.
President Truman should realize
that, II John L. Lewis should be ap-
peased this time, he can be expected
to pass his plate back for more,
again and again.
