can consider that, in his bargaining
with management, his only opponent
will be management. If he Is the
leader of great national union
such as the steel workers, he knows,
for instance, that he is practically
stopped from using labor's only
and traditional weapon-the strike.
He knows that to use 1t and thus
tie up the economy of the United
States would inevitably result in
him and his union having to fight q
losing war on two fronts with both
management and the Government
of the United States. Further, he
knows that management knows that
he knows this.
In such circumstances 1t is, and
1t will be, difficult for any labor
union to secure from management
its just rights.
It was bad enough before the
Hartley labor bill passed the House.
Until then, the union leader always
had the hope that the House might
act reasonably. Now he knows that
all OF the speeches made by the
Congress members during the past
year or SO had in them enough
biting cold to cause chilblains.
Labor Has Settled Down.
The labor leader knows now that,
in general, labor has settled down.
Nevertheless, the House Of Repre-
sentatives, without any immediate
provocation, has passed bill which
permits the use of injunctions to
break strikes, Balkanizes, the labor
relations Of the country, repeals, In
effect, the National Labor Relations
Evening star., 1947-05-02

Act, denies union the right to
spend money for political purposes,
and permits the employer to bring
suits against unions under the
Sherman Antitrust Act.
To be sure there is considerable
sentiment In the Senate for soften
ing the provisions OF the House bill
but there is no assurance that this
sentiment will prevail and certainly
there is no certainty that it would
prevail, If John L. Lewis, for I'M
stance, should take out his men
on June 80 and thus cause a Nation
wide industrial tieup.
Furthermore, the outlook for the
future is not bright so far as the
union leader is concerned. So far
as he can see into the future, Con-
gress will be in session when his
contracts come up for renewal. Thus
his only salvation lies in securing q

bet on Nellie Flag. In addition,
had written what newspapermen
know as canned" lead on Nellie
Flag and was ready to release il

remember the lead on Nellie Flag
that I couldn't use. Had she won
she would have been the second

Omaha's victory sent my
Kentucky Derby turf service of to
a flying start. I was 100 per cent
right up until the second year of
the service. Starting with 1886,
things got a little jumbled up
somehow, because I haven't named

be different because I happen to
know who the winner is going to be.

Seriously, If you aren't going to
