THE CHERRY TREE

Craftsmanship is not an article
of commerce that can be bought by
the pound. 1t has to be developed
on a basis of internal capacity anG
labor has had too little of it a
great deal of the time.
The current executive council
meeting is showing quite a bit of
it. The more it's members forget
their own self interests and look at
the full picture, the more states
manship results. The bid of the
CIO comes out of the broad self in
terest Of ALL, in the face of seri-
Gus threats Of legislative reprisal
At about the time the council
members were getting into Miami
black hearse was taking a char
acter out Of Miami. AL Capone was
on his way back to dust. His pass
ing marked the end of one kind of
G an g tie ris S m and racketeering
which grew out of an effort to
legislate people into a straight
jacket of conduct.
The council signifies its wish to
end warfare between unions. That's
good.
Capone kicks out, his brain so
far shot that his doctor rated him
as about like child.
The events have no relation.
They just happened to coincide.
But both mean something.
Peace isn't established, just by
an invitation. Racketeering isn't
ended because Capone died.
But we do see that history moves
along by jolts and jerks and no.
thing is permanent.
1t might pay now and then to
pause to think that, since each of
us has SO short sojourn on this
planet, it might pay to invest the
time in a serious effort to live in
such way as to create maxi
mum of happiness and achieve a
maximum of helpful results. And
that isn't intended to be pollyanna
patter.
Bill and John, to return to that
pair of examples, can do lot more
for the workers of our nation when
they don't figuratively spit in each
others eyes.
The sad old world needs all of
the good effort that can be must
cred, organized and expended.
Truly, we have no time to waste
in chickering's, in grabbing for per-
sonally-desired power or influence
or prestige. The world needs team
work designed to rebuild all that
was shot away, material, moral
and spiritual.
Youngsters, learning to type,
write over and over, snow is the
time for all good men to come to
the aid of their party" because it
contains nearly all of the letters.
You can substitute country" for
"party" and have a pretty good
statement of the slogan that needs
to be on the wall of every labor
meeting room. An added sentiment
might be, "check your adjectives at
the door"

a Million Houses
Says Fleming. But
AT Stiff Prices

Washington (FP) Federal
Works Administrator Philip B.
Fleming who doubles as chief Of
the Office of Temporary Controls
had some sad news for the ma
TONS house-hunting veterans, even
though he tried to sugarcoat the
pill.
Speaking before women's
group at the Hotel Statler, Flem-
ing said the u. S. should be able
to build million houses in 1947.
at has been estimated" he said,
"that at least a million houses a
year for 20 years should be built
to replace the obsolete and unfit
and take care Of a growing popula-
tion if our people are to be housed
in reasonable decency and COM
fort"
How many of the 1947 houses
will be within financial reach Of
war veterans either to purchase or
to rent remains problematical, he
added. Building costs are high and
home ownership is likely to remain
an unattainable luxury for most of
the veterans.
eve may expect some indirect
relief for persons of modest means,
including the former CT, however,
as the well-to-do move into new
houses, making their old quarters
available on rental basis to
others. This isn't exactly what we
have in mind when we talk about
solving the veterans housing PROB
lem, but it is probably the best
that can be done in the immediate
future"

cially whether rent control there
were justified.
Adequate money for rent control
enforcement was a main point in
the statement of Executive Secre-
Nary Schutzer of the American
Labor Party in New York state,
who compared the socalled land
lord hardship case to the genuine
hardship of low and middle income
tenants. This, he said, meant:
Under Is per cent increase,
an added burden of $60-$75 yearly
for the family now paying be-
tween $400 and $500 yearly in rent.
"A real wage cut for millions
of workers already faced with
steadily rising living costs.
Wholesale evictions.
4.-Sharp reduction in purchas-
ing power of the people.
5.-An especially hard blow at
the veterans hunting homes for
rent. QN{
\ Here you have the two claims
bf hardship" Schutzer said firmly.
"On the one hand the real estate
interests who are suffering from
the hardship of substantially in
creased net income, of minimum
operating costs, of a rock-bottom
vacancy ratio rate and of lower
interest rates for the money they
borrow. On the other hand are the
people, who face the real hard
ship of increased living costs, re-
duction in purchasing power,
wholesale evictions, spiraling in
flation and disruption of family
life"

Labor men really ought to stop
calling each other names just be-
cause they are in disagreement for
a time.
When John l.. Lewis bolted the
AFL he blasted Bill Green with
nearly all of the words in his book.
At one stage he remarked, in sub
stance, that he could report after
observation, the Bill Green didn't
have much of any brain under his
hat.
Bill said all sorts of things about
Lewis.
Now they are both in the same
camp, battling along together. One
wonders whether either of them
ever thinks about the bitter words
i. of those other days.
- When they We're shooting away
Hpt their hottest, each knew that the
Iextreme statements were untrue
/and unkind.
Now they are both-at this writ
lng-ln Miami, with the executive
council, extending olive branches
(even with fruit on them) to the
recently excoriated CIO.
Il
1t may be trite to say that grown
men shouldn't act like boys-and
the grown men know it, too, except
when they forget, or when they
think blistering words will make
the headlines when cool reasoning
would not.
Speaking of Miami, time was
when Lewis blasted the AFL for
going to Miami for Winter meet
ings. He thought then that Miami
was too lush and cushy for labor
men. He isn't saying a word about
that now, which is another exam
pie of talking out of the side of
your mouth where the butter is to
be found.

Had Thomas A. Edison never invented the
electric light, ph0nOgraph or motion pictures, he
still would have been one of the outstanding con-
tributOrs to human progress of the past century.
The Importance of many of Edson's efforts
has been Overshad0wed by some few of his In
ventiOnS. Over period of 60 years Edison whose
birth centennial in February at Milan, Ohio, is
now being observed, was granted to total OF 1,O97
u. S. patents to easily establish an altime record
Edison is thought of in terms of the electric
light, seldom for his dynamo which made possible
modern electric power distribution. He opposed
Government competing with business-managed
electric companies and in this connection said,
"The Government never really goes into business
for it never makes ends meet-it can always shift
it's losses to the tax payers. Ii 1T goes into the
power business it can pretend to sell cheap power
and cover up its losses"
The phOnOgraph and Edison are synonymous
but not all realize EdsOns earlier carbon trans
mtter made Bells telephone practical. Millions
who attend motion pictures know Edison invented
them, but few at major sport event at Yankee
Stadium are aware of it's construction with Edi-
sOn-imprOved cement.
AS early as 1869, at the age of %, Edison was
patenting inventions which of major inn
pOrtance but which have been dmmed by the
light of his better-knOwn later efforts. AS youth

Germ he invented the Edison Universal Printer

The modern debating machine is the out
growth of Eds0nS original idea that the principle
use of the phOnOgraph would be "n letter writing
and all kinds of dictatiOn without aid of stenO-
grapher." In 1887 he invented commercial

equipped with ear tubes and mounted on tri-
pod. 1t made conversation possible at distance

know surely that EdisOn's invention of the ncan-
descent lamp and his subsequent development of a
complete distribution system uShered in the pres
ent age of illumination in which we live.
If Edison genius it was because he was
a nOn-confOrmist. An outstanding example of
Edison's refusal to stick to hard and fast rules of
science of his day was his discovery of CONNER
cially practical electric light.
Earlier and contemporary experiments in the
field worked on the theory of short, thick, low
resistance filament for their crude bulbs. Edison,
the scientific revOlutOniSt, reversed this principle
and sought long, thin, high-resistance filament
which, in addition to providing better light could
be turned and off without affecting other lamps
on circuit. He succeeded with nothing more in
tricate than piece of carbOniZed cotton thread
which went into the light he patented in 1879.
