Some significant political de.
velopments emerged from the STATE
convention of the Minnesota Fed,
Grafton of Labor. The AFL. da.
clared open war on the CLIO, which
has already resulted in dissolution
of Joint CLIO political action
in Minneapolis. With strong words
of condemnation for Communists
the convention side-tracked all reso-
lutions regarded as rejecting the
Communist Party line. It also
called for a series of changes in
state labor laws, asking an amend
ment of the act which now pro-
hibits picketing of a firm unless a
majority of the employees are
union members. Other changes
sought include the substitution of a
Today Cancellation notice for the
present Today strike notice and
making an employers interference
with collective bargaining an IN
fair labor practice.
Increases in railroad and motor
freight rates in Minnesota were
voted by the railroad and ware
house commission last week, but
not until a sharp division had de-
veloped among the body's three
members. A three per cent in
crease on livestock, agricultural
products, fax, straw, and brick
was granted with a six per cent
increase allowed for a list of gen
eral items. Commissioner Ray P.
Chase vigorously dissented in the
granting of the increases, charging
that they will add to "the vicious
inhationary cycle" He was out
voted, however, by Commissioners

ais, the Secretary NAFI ALlN
of Commerce has enjoyed a ire
mendous personal popularity, ex'
ceeding even that of President Tru'
man. In the 1914 national Demo
cratic convention the Minnesota
delegation was unanimous IN It's
support Of Wallace for the Vice
Presidential nomination. 1t led the
convention demonstration in his be-
half and rejected all Overtures to
swing to the Truman bandwagon,
Thus, Wallace's utterances have up
to now been received in friendly
fashion by Minnesota prOgressives.
Conflicting statements by party
leaders reflected the divided re-
Spouse that greeted Wallace's
speech within the Democratic
Farmer-Labor Party. Theodore
Jorgenson, DFL nominee for U. 5.
Senate, defended Wallace's posi-
ton, terming it a great service"
in making people realize more
fully the danger in our present
policy" Mayor Hubert H. Hum
phrey of Minneapolis, on the other
hand, despite his being a close per-
sOnal friend of Wallace, declared
that the speech was contrary to
the principles of the United Ma
tions" and rejected Wallace's view
that there are two worlds"
Among Republicans the reaction
to Wallace's speech was entirely
negative. Senator Joseph H. Ball
vigorously condemned it as "sabo-
tagging American peace-time eff
forts" He warned against an ap-
peasement policy towards Russia,
declaring that "Our only chance of
avoiding the conflict is to convince
Russia that we intend to stick to
the principles of the Atlantic
Charter and fulfill our obligation
to promote freedom and democracy
in other nations"
The Minnesota state Republican
convention came off, as predicted,
without hitch. Senator Ball had
few anxious moments beforef the
convention opened, but any plans to
censure him for boiling COP ranks
in IA to support Franklin Roose-
welt were submerged by the gen.
eral convention spirit of harmony.
The boom for Harold Stassen for
President was set off. Bernhard
LeVander, 3O-year- Stassen lead
er, was named state chairman. A
state bonus for soldiers was APP
proved, but commitments on how
to finance it were avoided. An H.
point platform favored, among
other items, increased aid to
schools, establishment of public
housing enabling legislation, and
the United Nations program.

thing tremendous, inspiring, world
shaking enough to be recorded in
the public prints was unable to
discover it, and | pride myself on
having a fairly well developed nose
for news.
Both meetings, attended by an
aggregate Of 10000 people, were
great sprawling masses of human
ity, most Of whom knew no more
about what was going on, if any
thing, than | did.
Back behind closed doors | am
sure there was some activity which
required modicum of brains, but
there was absolutely no machinery
set up to transmit this either to
the general asSemblage or least Of
all the press.
So we had the happy experience
of prowling around amid IA other
of religious emotiOnalism, with
ignorance walking around on its
hind legs.
Most Of the conferences, pOliti-
cal or industrial rallies | have at
tended during the past several
years have had a semblance Of or
ganiZatiOn. Important persOnages
have appeared on the platform
during the various sessions. de-
livered their addresses and before
the applause or bOOs had died
away, somebody officially con-
nected passed out mimeOgraphed
comics to the Woodworking gentle
men Of the press.
Not so at either Of these great
conventions. Not only was there
not one line set TO paper Of any
kind, but there was not even a
table provided for the reporters to
collect their own Interpretations in
comfort.
Being a religious gathering, |
suppose the leaders felt that it was
quite sufficient if the contents of
the speeches and reports were I'M
derstandable to the speakers and
God, but unless heaven is blessed
with some highly proficient stenog-
raphers | am sure God. Himself,
is confused.
Even the addresses Of the re-
Spective presidents dealing with
such matters as the state Of the
nation fell into this category. At
ter some maneuvering was able
to obtain a copy Of the profundities
Of the Rev. d. V. Jemison, president
Of the Atlanta group, by purchas-
ing a copy in pamphlet form at IS
cents a throw being hawked by mer-
cenaries outside the auditorium.
At Columbia after a year of

In both cases the ultimate in
telligence obtained was hardly
worth the effort expended. but the
fact that they did have a few
phrases put to paper was a rare
exception.
Most Of the financial and stats
teal reports were delivered into
the evaporating air Of the micro
phones in monotonous drone to
the accompaniment Of snores from
the assembly, but whenever any
body went to town with the more
rambunctious and noisy tricks of
the evangelistic trade, he was
greeted with an enthusiastic recep-
ton OF "amens" and "hallelujahs"

churches away from the main con
vention hall, reporters had to dash
from place to place picking uE
journalistic crumbs.
All of this had to be taken with
grain of salt, depending on
whose axe the reporters infOr'
mant was out TO grind. Accord
ing to the "Outs" everything was

ton, but according TO the 'ins' all
was harmony, peace and light.
In various hotel rooms little
knots Of disgruntled clergymer
could be found Matching dark and
shady plots which kept going NJ in
smoke as soon as a counterpart
was born.
With the world dangling on the
precipice of an economic and
moral depression, the 5000 gath
cred in elaboration at Columbia
spent several hours debating
whether the present pictures of
Jesus which adorn stained church
windows are authentic or whether
the Savior looked like somebody
else.
The conclusions were that since
there were no cameras in JeTusa-
lem in those days, there is
room for grave doubts, and that
they let the Catholics stick to the
pictures and statues while the
Baptist should seek God, through
intuition.
Undoubtedly there was some
serious work done behind closed
doors by a handful Of planners, a
score or so. at the respective con-
ventiOns, but most Of the 10000
delegates just came along for the
ride.
Since they came from as far west
as California, as far south as Texas
and all other intermittent points,
counting transportation and the
time lost from work, the conven-
tons can be aptly described as two
million-dollar camp meetings. Ev-
erybody ought to go to heaven at
those prices.
