SYDNEY Brown, only Negro
School Board member, had
urged the Board to defer action
until a survey could be made
to determine whether such a
school was needed or wanted.
He pointed out that new
school could be built for only
$75O,O00.
Last Thursday, community
leaders led by Albert Janney,
1872 w. 18th ST., candidate for
alderman in the recent cleo
ton, met to protest the Boards
vote against the community's
needs.
Janney opposed the Boards
move on the grounds that the
area is ''center of crime and
vice" He pointed out that chill
dren from homes north and
west of the school would have
to travel twice daily through
these slum surroundings.

Union leaders went on record
approving the newly-signed state
law which grants local option, but
criticized ''loopholes" in the pro-
posed local ordinance, which
might allow Is percent increases.
Immediately after the meeting
the Councils housing committee
issued memorandum setting forth
tenants rights under the law,
limited causes for eviction, and
protection provided if the tenant
refuses to sign a lease providing
for the voluntary" increase.
LOCAL unions were urged to
set up information centers for
their members, and prepare leaf
lets giving the facts on tenants
rights. Locals were urged to make
their advisory services available
to neighbors in the vicinity of the
local hall.
For members who need but can
not afford legal assistance, the
council recommended the Legal
Aid Bureau, 1913 w. Madison st.,
the legal department of the Jew
ish Social Service Bureau, 100 N.
Wells ST., for Jewish workers and
the Chicago Area council of AVG
for World War II vets.
The council pointed out that
the same type Of united action
used in collective bargaining must
be applied to the fight against the
organized real estate business to
gain effective rent control in Chi
cago.
A CooRDINATED program to
fight for effective local controls
was outlined, providing:
l. Committees of union men
from each ward to visit alder
men in the interest of an effec-
tive law.
2. Pressure for a City Rent
Control Board which will pro-
tect the people.
3. Pressure on the board after
ii is formed TO keep rents down.
Members of committees seeking
definite commitments from alder
men were instructed to acquaint
theselves with local rent condi-
tons, and to urge aldermen to
commit themselves to law pro-
viding: rents frozen at June 80,
1947 levels, with rebates for in
creases paid; control over all
permanent home rental facilities;
labor representation on the rent
control board; effective punish |
ments for violations; and adequate
staff for administration of the /
law.

four that held that the miners we're

into court with the deliberate inten-
ton OF fighting TO revive the dis
lcreditable era OF government by
injunction. These are political
facts that the Democratic admini-
stration must face. The President
and the Chief Justice, one Of his
appointees, have succeeded In dis
interring the remains Of Eugene v.
Debs, well remembered martyr to
government by injunction"
/ There is another interesting and
curious aspect Of this decision. The
court, having decided that there had
been contempt of the District Court
below, was called upon to say
whether the fine Of $500, 900 against
the union was a reasonable one. But
the court did no such thing. Sur
prisingly 1t found that the fine
was unreasonable, notwithstanding
which 1t also found that $700, 900
should be paid at once and the
balance of 1890, 900 ren1itted within
five days after the issuance Of the
mandate, unless, within that period
John L. Lewis should withdraw that
part Of his order to his men that
limited the present truce to mid
night Of March 81.
Thus the court fired one barrel
at the United Mine Workers, while
warning 1t that unless it performed
an affirmative act within five days 1t
could expect a second and "unrea-
sonable" barrel.
To put 1t another way, the Su-
preme Court apparently found that
the union was reasonably guilty Of
contempt Of court to the extent Of
100000 but that it would be guilty
by the amount Of an additional "un-
reasonable" sum Of $4,000, 900 II 1t
should fail to do what it was told
to do. All of this seems to mean
that the court thought that the
total fine Of $500, 900 was excessive,
but that it might not be after all.
It is a strange sight, that of seeing
the Supreme Court avoid clear |
decision on straight issue, and,
instead, assume bargaining posi-
ton.

Government employees. He said
Section 8 Of the War Labor Dis
putes Act calls for the seizure OF
any plant, mine, or facility when
the President finds that an
interruption in production will un-
duly impede the war effort"
Furthermore, he quoted from
the Executive Order of the Presi-
dent directing the Secretary of the
Interior to take over the mines:
'"The coal produced by such mines
is required for the war effort =;
the exercise Of the powers
vested in (the President) is neces-
sary to insure the operation of
such mines in the interest Of the
war effort ="
Just whom was Mr.. Truman fight
ing? The Germans? The Japan
ese? Or organized labor?
Perhaps the headlines will answer
the question: President Truman
Wins Fight to the Finish With
John L. Lewis!"
And at what future date will this
or some other President choose to
engage in a fight to the finish"
with some other labor leader? A
useful pattern will be available (a)
to declare an emergency b) to take
over on behalf of the Government
manufacturing operation and, (c) to
enjoin striking employees on the
ground that they are public en-
ployes and that, therefore, they are
governed by the precedent of the
Lewis case decided on March 6,
1947.
The effect Of this decision on labor
is not difficult to foresee. It makes
John L. Lewis the outstanding labor
leader in the country. It cannot fail
to. solidify labor against the Demo-
cratic administration, although it
may be expected that, without re-
alizing what they are doing, certain
Republicans will rush to the rescue
of the administration, making weird
noises as they know how to do.

makes no difference. They are like
most dogs-sweet, lovable, and very
proud Of their names. So why not
name your pups Dinah and Judy?"
My household is in a stir today
as we are getting ready to ship off
the prizes. The Rembrandt is CIV
ing us the most trouble. When we
took the picture off the wall, the
paper back of it wasn't faded like
the rest of the wallpaper. So this
afternoon I have to paint a picture
the same size to take its place. I
think I'll do a portrait of my wife.
Ready to Start Painting.
As a matter Of fact, right at this
minute. Jean Is out securing the
neighborhood to see If she can bor-
row a maroon velvet evening gown,
a string of pearls, some long, white
gloves, and an ostrich plume fan.

cause I was forethoughtful enough
to save my water color outfit from
grammar school. You must know
the one I mean-a long, black, tin
box, with all the basic colors, mix
ing compartment over to the right,
and a groove to hold the brush.
OF course, this portrait which
have tentatively titled my Last
Duchess" may not be quite up to
snuff, because I haven't done many
portraits Of late. I met a fellow
a couple of months ago who knows
lot about the horses, and as a
result my easel has been idle while
I warmed seat at the bookie joint
The world may have lost a master
piece or two, but I cashed in ON a
couple Of daily doubles which, like
all other honest Americans, I duti-
fully entered on my income tax.
Dinah and Judy were christened
at very simple ceremony last night
Simple Ceremony. .
We cracked small bottles of spot
remover over their heads and slid
them OF the couch which they had
already chewed to tatters.
It is amazing what puppies can be
taught If their owners combine
patience with kindness, and throw
in bit of sternness when it is
needed. We have had Dinah and
Judy only a short while, but they
are already the most perfectly yard
broken dogs in town. To them the
yard is "off limits" and not to be
.rihed with, but the house is just
one large ladies powder room. Out
Of doors, Dinah and Judy exercise
amazing self-control. But once in

Appeal, said there is every reason
to be optimistic about the future of
