THE CHERRY TREE

The. A. f. of l.. invitation to the
CIO to get together for a merger
need arouse no hopes that right
away all will be sweetness and
light.
The gesture was probably a
noble one, but the actuality of mer-
ging is not Immediately in sight.
The young and easily impressed,
as well as the visionary and hope
full ones may think that miracles
can happen, but the older heads
will know very well that there's
many a slip between a cupful of
invitation and the real taste of it
upon the lips.
There are too many cross lines
of jurisdiction, too many conflict
ing claims - AND TOO MANY
JOBS at stake to make any hurry
up wedding possible.
Also, standing in the road are a
few granite blocks of bone-headed
selfishness who know no idealism
and whose notion about unions is
that they are private property in
the nature of satrapies.
The interest of all labor is, true
enough, in one labor movement.
The interest of most employers is
in one labor movement. Finally,
our country's interest, in the field
of international relations, is in one
labor movement.
We are reaping no good, inter-
nationally, by having two labor
movements. Nor are ave reaping
any good internationally, by hav-
ing a portion of labor taking on a
political coloration which it car
ries into its union business. Mean
ing Communism and nothing else.
Except to those who make it
something of a business to keep in
formed about the Vaccinations of
Communism, the goings-on are not
too evident. But those who dig a
bit find a depth of shenanigans
that is not only nauseous, but
devilishly dangerous.
Corner grocery conversation
can't do much to help, but a uni
fled labor movement, with its hat
on straight and with purpose in its
soul could do an amazing lot of
good.
However, that is too much to

SOUND RECOMMENDATION

SIGNIFICANT support for equal for for equal
~ work expressed in the Economic Report of the
President which strongly opposed employment and pay dis
elimination Discussing Efficient Utilization of the Labor
Force the President made the following sound
dation:
1--WE must end discrimination in employment wages
against certain classes of workers regardless of their in
dvdua abilities Discrimination against certain racial and
religious groups, against workers in late middle and
against women only repugnant to the principles of
democracy but often creates artificial labor shortages in the
midst of labor surplus.
Employers and unions both need to re-examne and
revise practices resulting in discrimination recommend
that this session. the Congress provide permanent federal
legislation dealing with this problem.

hope for Immediately. But is can

Somewhat more hopeful is the
official call to end jurisdictional
strikes.
Once upon a time some maraud-
er stole a horse from a barn that
wasn't locked, after which, with no
horse to steal, the owner went and
bought himself a paddock. That ex-
perience gave rise to a saying
which has been current ever since.
The recent A. F. of l.. action is
somewhat of case in point. A
lot of horse has been stolen, but
perhaps another saying ought to
be quoted to show that there's may
be soupcon of good in almost
every batch, to wit: Better late
than never.
However, in order not to be
always resorting to the "better
late than never" saying, labor
leaders ought to know more, or
care more, about public opinion.
Old John d. Rockefeller, in his
prime, thought the world was his
oyster, or anyway that portion of
the world containing oil and coal.
He got himself hated by great
numbers of people. Then he hired
Ivy Lee.
Ivy Lee must have had a very
good contract, because he began
Immediately to change the char
acter of the Rockefeller actions
and sayings. Public opinion, too,
began to change.
1t took no mind reader to know
the manner in which public opinion
was piling up against labor. What
was needed was men willing to
read the signs and to take head.
even to the point of telling motley
little czars where to get off at, for
the. good of the multitude.
Well, maybe even hindsight is
better than no sight at all and let's
all hope so, for if we live in One
World, we also know that this
nation has to be One Nation, with
no special corners reserved for
predators and for the stupid ones
who think they pull a lever or
bark an order to make the eco
homie machine trun around and
go their way.

railing of food prices still con-
tinues, though the cost of beef in
some parts of the country has
gone down during this week.
Chief reason for the continued
uptrend in the cost of living is
the increase in price of milk and
bread. Price of milk in Is large
cities in the United States is now
four cents quart higher than il
has been during the last five
years.
1t was intimated today that the
Presidents committee will dis
continue its request for house
wives to stop serving poultry on
Thursdays.
Reports issued today in Flor
ida showed that prices in ITALIA
hassee is much higher than they
are in Miami, Jacksonville, Tam
pa and other cities in the state.
Butter in Tallahassee is from rs
to 70 cents pound as compared
to 81 to II in Miami, Tampa and
Jacksonville. Price of beef in
Tallahassee shows an even higher
rate as compared with the price
in the other cities. The report
concluded that the only commod-
ity that is cheaper in Tallahassee
than elsewhere in the state is

said:

shall work to the best of my
ability for the best interests of
the people of Key West; for the
betterment of the community

"In my estimation, one can
hardly promise much more, as

are merely public servants.

regarded allowing taxi drivers
to park on Duval street.
It was finally agreed to en-

remark from Albert Cooper:
"Taxi cab drivers have been

Against Setting Price With
out First Seeking Opin-|
ION OF Citizens OF Key
, West |

Commissioner Harden. at last
nights session of the City Com
mission. inquired of City At
torney Lester about the propos-
ed race track sale of land on
Stock Island. Harden said:
What is the idea of asking
the people to sell the land and
then set . price of $4,000 on the
land? This is not fair to the
people of Key West
Lester: IF the people think
that way also, then let them vote
against it. The people must first
approve the act and then the
sale. This is a double-barreIed
check"
Commissioner Harden: II still
think that this is trick. T h e
people will vote for a race track,
and few people will give the
price of $4,000 any thought"
Public Service Director Dopp:
II can foresee difficulties if the
city dump Is eliminated, for the
Navy can withdraw its present
cooperation. We still could use
some of the land not intended
for a race track for city dump,
but that would undoubtedly
cause resentment, for the race
track owners would not want
dump next to their property"
Harden: us the city obligated
to dispose OF the property If the
people approve of the sale to
Sam Hyman? What would hap
pen II the Navy would not al
low us their facilities?"
Lester: II don't know wheth-
er this is mandatory or not. I
am not in a position TO tell you.
II approved, I am inclined to
think that Sit would constitute
contract. spT--er--''~~r
Harden: Il make motion that
