AmeriCan-JeWiSh Youth Faces A New Year

Let us first examine the past.
The greatest mass influx of Jewry
to the United States came at the
end of the 10Th and beginning
of the 10th centuries. Fleeing
from pogroms and from sitting
economic and political restric-
lions, hundreds of thousands OF
courageous Eastern European
Jews, bred in the cities and vii
lagos of feudal nations poured into
this country "where the streets
are paved with gold" Their lang
uage was Yiddish. Their school
had been the Chedor. And their
homes had been islands of ira
ditional learning and custom.
Harassed by the need to earn
a living, intoxicated by the politi-
cal freedom of their new land,
overwhelmed by the delights Of
widespread modern technology,
these immigrants devoted them
selves to an eager seeking of
"Americanization." The old world,
more than an oceans breadth be-
hind them, was dead. They sent
their children to American pub
lie schools and they learned with
their children. At home they
spoke English. To their lore they
added the stories of Washington
and Lincoln and Teddy Roose-
welt. Henry Ford replaced Roths-
child as their symbol of success.
They revealed in agnosticism, in

labor organization and in an
American future.
But as they achieved security
and Indignation into the Ameri-
can community, they stopped to
take stock. They were proud of
their sons who had become doc
tors and lawyers and dentists,
and they were proud of their
daughters who had become school
teachers and social workers. But
sometimes there was a twinge
of the soul when the son played
golf on the Sabbath or the daugh-
ter and her husband and children
laughed at their elders broken
English or at the "foolishness" of
a sedar. Some far-sighted lead
ers among them pleaded for a
Jewish education for the children,
for the preservation of Jewish
traditions and learning and val
ues. They pointed out that the
Jew had a contribution to
make to the vast complex which
was American culture. For the
most part these prophets were
crying in the wilderness.

MANNHEIM S. SHAPIRO

The most solemn observance
in the Jewish calendar resound to
the clarion call of the shOfar. It
is significant that these occasions
and particularly the arrival of a
new year should be signalized by
such a call. The shofar is an i'm
perious summons to judgment,
to review Of the past, and even
more facing the future. The Jew
ish New Year is the moment for
self-examination and for analy-
sis of what lies ahead.
The Jewish youth of America,
as we enter the year sos is also
considering its past and it's future.
The adult leaders of the American
Jewish community cannot make
an inventory without reckoning
the balance sheet of it's youth.
Where is American-Jewish youth
going? The answer to that ques-
ton is also the answer to the
question: Where is the American
Jewish community going?

they are members of unions, whether
they favor unions in Government

their opinions of their supervisors,

Both bills provide for some sort
OF fact-finding board in connection
with the injunction procedure. Both
bills also provide for the employees
to vote In a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
election on whether to accept the

One big difference between the
two bills is this:
/. Sponsors of the House bill say
that when the required mediation
and fact-f1nding periods (totaling
rs days. have ended and the in
junction has been dismissed, the
Attorney General could 60 into
court and get another injunction

2. The Senate bill says that at

(totalling rs to 80 days., the Presi-
dent shall turn the whole case over

Rules Airlines Not Affected.
Neither provision would affect the
interstate railroads and airlines
since they follow procedures under
the Railway Labor Act.
In fact the entire Senate labor
bill eXempts railroad workers. Raj
union leaders say they are studying
the House bill and that it appears
to exempt railroad workers, but the
exemption is not clearly stated in
some provisions.
Both bills would cover maritime
strikes if they threaten a sub
stantial" part of the industry.
The House bill would apply to
local utility strikes, like the Pitts
burgh power strike of last year. The
Senate bill would not apply unless
substantially a whole industry were

all workers by the N.F.T.W.
The company stood by its lates
proposal to place basic wages ane
three other items of the "a in dis.
pute before regional" arbitration
board.
Explaining the company's rejec.
ton, j. B. Morrison, vice presiden
and general manager, said:
The union made an offer today
which apparently was intended te
cloud the issue and raise the hopes
OF its members in an effort to stem
the tide of the back-to-work move
ment which is gaining momentum.
He said the big question today
is why these Washington unions
refuse to lay their demand for ar
increase in wages before an impair
tial board of local arbitrators.'
I'VE are willing to put the matter
of our basic wages before such q
board" Mr.. Morrison added. I'VE
believe that the union hesitates
either because they know that oul
employees are well paid or they can
not move without the approval oi
the National Federation of Tele-
phone Workers, with which they are
affiliated"
Mr.. Morrison thus answered In
kind NFTW charges that genuine
local bargaining is impossible be-
cause Bell System companies are
prevented from offering wage in
creases by national policy of the
American Telephone e. Telegraph
Co.
This assertion will be repeated in
the unions first newspaper advertiS-
ing of the strike scheduled for 26
papers in % cities beginning Tues
day. The ads will suggest two ways
of settling the strike: Cd On ma
tional basis such as was done a
year ago and (2) by ending the
continuous merry -go-round" of bar
gaining from a national to a local
level WHICH has shown that COM
panies are authorized to talk but
not to act
At the conclusion of their oath

than ever. Both sides said they
We're willing TO try again if and

Settlement of the Western Union
dispute early yesterday was con-
sidered by many good omen point
ing toward telephone agreement.
The telegraphers called off a strike
scheduled for May after accepting
a scent hourly increase subject to
possible upward revision in six
months when the contract is re-
opened.
Not Appeal for Help.
The telephone union statement
sent to President Truman was de-
sCribed as an explanation of the
unions position, and not an appeal
for help. Commenting on the re-
quest for a down payment" wage
increase, Mr.. Beirne said:
Millions of dollars have been
granted by other industries within
the last few days in second-round
wage increases. It's my belief the
Government should use pressure to
make the telephone companies give
similar wage increases"
The statement to the White
House. which was delivered to John
R. Steelman, presidential assistant,
cited boosts in electric, meat-pack-
ing, oil, garment-making and rub
