A Feeble Substitute

The Senate Labor Committee once
again has demonstrated its unwill-
ingness to propose any legislation
calculated to deal effectively with
union abuses of the power which
has been conferred upon them. by
the Federal Government.
Chairman Murray has announced
that the committee has strapped
the Case bill, passed overwhelmingly
by the House, and has substituted
for it a measure which goes no
further than to recommend the
setting up of an independent, Ave
member Federal mediation board
which would take over the concilia-
ton and mediation work OF the De-
partment of Labor. Conceivably, a
board OF this kind could be of some
value In cases, where despite the
sincere efforts of a union and an
employer, collective bargaining has
broken down. But it is absurd to
contend that the new board could
or would do anything to eliminate
the fragrant abuses which have be-
come matters of common occurrence.
In reference to the Case bill, Mr..
Murray says that nothing can be
gained by attempts to penalize or
straitiacket labor" Presumably, he
means by this that a union cannot
be held liable for refusing to live
up to contract into which it has
freely entered, that the Government
cannot concern itself with lawless
violence in the course of a strike,
and that such things as secondary
boycotts and jurisdictional strikes
are beyond the reach of regulation.
1t may be doubted that this is true,
especially so since all other elements
in this country are held to a higher
standard Of conduct.
Contending that labor cannot be
compelled to accept" wages or
working conditions which 1t believes
unfair-a premise which is generally
accepted-Chairman Murray went
on to say that sooner or later both
parties to dispute will realize that
both are suffering by the work
,stoppage"
This may be true enough, but 1t is
one OF those easy assumptions which
overlooks the fact that in most of
the present-day major industrial
disputes there is third party in
interest-the people OF the United
States.
A Coal strike, for instance, could
not be permitted to drag on until
labor and management finally real
lied that both were suffering. In
the recent steel strike, to cite an
other example, the President inter-
vened because he felt the national
interest compelled him to do 80.
And 1t is to be hoped that when the
substitute bill reaches the floor the
Senate will take a more realistic
view of the responsibility OF Congress
in this situation than its Labor
Committee has done.

Mountain Names

The whole subject of how noun
tains acquire their names has been
raised by the new designation OF
Castle Mountain in the Canadian
Rockies at Banff. 1t hereafter is
to bear the name of General Dwight
d. Eisenhower. Thus the govern
ment of Canada has chosen to pay
honor to the American Chief of
STAFF. The peak selected to serve
that purpose is one of a series of
towering elevations. 1t rises from
q foundation eight miles in length
to $3.50 feet above sea level, domi-
mating Bow Valley and vicinity. The
former title of the mountain was
applied to 1t because of a resem-
blance which its outlines have to
those of a feudal fortress of the
Old World.
In former times, individuals rather
than nations were responsible for
naming the mighty hills of the
earth. Mount Washington in New
Hampshire, the highest peak in the
White Mountain range, rising 6,293
feet, was sighted from the sea as
early as 1905. 1t first was assembled
by Darby Field and two Indian
guides in 1912. But the name by
which 1t universally is known was
given to it by the Reverend Manasseh
Cutler, Congregational clergyman,
botanist and colonizer, who made a
scientific trip to the summit with
several companions in 1874.
Similarly. Mount Mckinley, in
South Central Alaska, the highest
mountain in North America and,
taking in account its isolation from
other peaks, the highest in the world,
was named for President William
Mckinley by w. A. Dickey, an ex-
plorer who saw it first in 1896. The
Indians had called 1t Traleyka, the
Russians Bolshaya. It's top 20 800
feet above the North Pacific-was
achieved by Hudson Stuck, H. p.
Karstens, Robert Tatum and Walter
Harper on June Z, 1918, but the title
bestowed by Mr.. Dickey was not
changed in tribute to their heroic
attainment.
Pixies Peak also remains what 1t
originally W. christened. Rising

Extending the Droft

Latest figures on the Army's vol
untary recruitment program clearly
indicate that the Selective Service
Act will have to be extended If our
occupation tasks and other postwar
duties are to be properly discharged.
Last months volunteers totaled only
$4,000, or $4,000 under the January
fgure, and further decline Is ex-
pected this month. Meanwhile, the
draft has been producing merely
about $4,000 monthly, and although
it will produce considerably more
under the relaxation of physical
standards effective in April, military
authorities anticipate a big man
power deficiency in the fall unless
Congress takes action.
The reason for this is simple
enough: The demobilizati ton of vet
Grams has been proceeding with
extraordinary speed, and by Novem-
Der l a great number of one-year
volunteers will have to be discharged
as well, creating replacement prob
lem not likely to be solved by volun-
tary recruitment alone. According to
Army calculations. draftees will be
needed In addition, but the draft
itself will end automatically on May
Is II not extended. President Tru-
man has already indicated that he
will press for an extension, and the
War Department has warned that
1t will be necessary. Without it our
occupation forces apparently could
not be maintained at minimum
strength. and America would be
neglecting essential responsibilities
IN Europe and Asia, with serious
consequences possible. Prompt con-
gressional action to prevent this
seems mandatory in the circum-
stances.

People survive In human memory
by what other people have said of
them. For instance, Henry Ward
Beecher is safe so long as anybody
recalls how Mark Twain described
him as "a remarkably handsome
man when he is in the full tide of
sermonizing and his face is lit up
with animation" but "as homely as
singed cat when he isn't doing

He looked critically at the wiring.

Mrs. Jones ate her bread and egg

the clerk might be interested, but the

The Hope of the World

world affairs. when war-weary peo-
pies are inclined to be short tenn
pered and when international name
calling continues unrestrained, it
Is good to have Cordell Hull offer
few quiet words OF calm counsel.
Our former Secretary of State
speaks as private citizen now but
his statement on the United Ma
tions and the future carries with
1t the authority of man who is
rich In wisdom and experience.
Mr.. Hull does not address him
self to Americans alone. He ad-
dresses himself to the British. to
the Russians, to every people eager
to enjoy an enduring peace. The
UNO, he says, Is not a perfect in
strument, but nothing better can
be made available at this time to
guard against the appalling posi-
bility OF third world war. OF
course, he declares, the United Ma
lions can achieve nothing as an
organization If the members them.
selves-the United States, Britain,
the Soviet Union, all of them-do
not prove their good faith by deeds
as well as words, Offering each
other such genuine cooperation
that suspicious will not be able to
poison their relations.
This is advice of a highly gen.
eralized nature, but nevertheless it
is to the point, as is also Mr.. Hull's
appeal to the statesmen of the
world to take into full account the
emotional and physical strains of
the war and the consequent effect
on national tempers. He warns
against appeals to prejudice. He
urges patience. He calls upon every
country to recognize how init
mately, how crucially, its own. in
terests are tied in with the interests
of all other countries in a common
imperative to achieve international
harmony through the UNO. Given
IAN abiding faith in the ability of
our international society to better
itself politically and economically,
the United Nations-putting that
faith to work-"can serve the hu-
man race as 1t has never been served
before"
Perhaps future events will prove
Mr.. Hull's viewpoint to be little more
than high-minded wishfulness, but
1t Is shared in large measure by such
active participants In the UNO as
Senators Vandenberg and Connally.
Thus, as Senator Vandenberg did
fortnight ago, Senator Connally,
chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, though ad-
vocating another Truman Attlee-
Stain meeting to give special
impetus to the task of clearing the
air of the more serious current
suspicious, has just given voice to
refreshingly confident evaluation
of the ability OF the United Nations
to iron out international difficulties.
Certainly the future would look
extremely bleak ii at this early stage
men and nations surrendered to
pessimism regarding the UNO. AS
an organization it cannot perform
miracles, but unless 1t is employed
affirmatively, with faith, all of us
may well suffer what Mr.. Hull calls
an "unspeakable disaster" -nothing
less than the suicide of our race
through lack of vision or through
selfishness, impotence or provoca-
ton" Clearly this is no time for
sterile defeatism or too-quick anger.
The hope Of the world rests on an
unfiagging determination, despite
temporary discouragements, to make
the United Nations succeed that
