The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-When this col umnist was young and new at the game, it always ranked to nave to admit making mistakes. With the seasoning of the years, however, he has found that it pays to admit them. After all, human beings can be wrong.
 Just two years ago this month told the story of how Harry Tru- man had fired Francis Riddle as Attorney General because of his deep-dyed loyalty to Kansas City's hoss Pendergast and his resentment against Riddle for having opposed the appointment of several Fender gast friends Among other things, Riddle had refused parole to boss Pendergast, also had insisted on the reappointment of Maurice Milli- gan-the U. s. District Attorney who sent Pendergast to jail. Also Riddle had held out against ap- pointing Fred Garfield, Truman's old sergeant in World War l, as U. s. Marshal in Kansas City.
 Whereupon Truman, newly pe- come President of the United States, fired Riddle without even the courtesy of talking to him per- sonally. The story made Truman appear to be a very vengeful man.
 While it is true that Truman still has a deep loyalty to his Pen dergast friends and also that he fired Riddle, am now convinced that it is not true, as previously reported, that the President nurses such deep grudges against those who opposed his old Missouri CO., hortS.
 At any rate, some inside things have happened recently which show that he is doing everything possible to undo any wrong he may have done to Riddle.

Comment On World Events

The action of renewing the af-
filiation recalls a similar action 20
years ago when, after the fedora
tion had been dormant because of
the First World War, the lam re-
newed the relationship severed by
the war.
"In the atomic energy field it is
not the atom that may get out of
control, it is the human. The bright
spot in the picture is the hope that
by catching this development be-
fore it has grown into the economic
and industrial systems of the
United States and the rest of the
world it can be kept in bounds.
Atomic energy as a source of
power will eventually be true in
areas where coal and water are
scarce; but if we are thinking in
terms of industrial power beyond a
few experimental plants, it will
take at least five years and prob
ably more to do the atomic engin-
eerirg."- Rear Admiral William S.
Parsons, Navy Director of Atomic
Defense.

AFL Chief Hopes
Arbitration PIun
Con Be Extended

Miami (FP)-News of the arbi-
tration agreement between the
Building & Construction Trades
Department and the Associated
General Contractors Of America
was greeted enthusiastically by
AFL President William Green.
Green, here for the mid-winter
meeting of the AFL executive
council, said "this settlement is
made at very important time,
and Congress, which is considering
legislation on the subject, may
realize that labor and management
are sincerely working for a solu-
tion of disputes which arise be-
tween employers and workers.
at is significant that this agree
ment was negotiated without
government assistance or partici-
patton. We hope this plan can be
extended to cover the metal trades
and other industries and organiza-
tions."
Green also told Federated Press
that "industry-labor agreements,
not legislation, are the solution to
jurisdictional disputes and prob
lems."

1t is of worldwide interest that
the International Association OF
Machinists has resumed it's affilia-
tion with the International Metal
Trades Federation after the period
of the war, during which the IMTF
was dormant.
The action, taken by the lam
executive council at it's winter ses-
sion in Washington, d. c., was
interpreted in international labor
circles as a potent boost for the
free trade movement revival in
Europe and the survival of the in
ternational trade secretariats.
The resumption of affiliation
with the federation is contingent
on the non-affiliation of the IMTF
with the World Federation of
Trade Unions, which the American
Federation of Labor opposes on
the ground that it is Communist
dominated and is not an organiza-
tiOn OF free trade unions.
The LAM council informed Con-
rad Ilg, IMTF secretary, at Berne,
Switzerland of the action and also
notified Irving Brown, lam men,
ber and European representative
of the Free Trade Union Movement
and the American Federation Of
Labor, in Paris.
The LAM action brought a signi-
ficant letter of commentator from
Matthew Woll, AFL vice-president
and president of the Free Trade
Union Committee. "Your affiliation
will undoubtedly prove of real
value in preserving and strength
ening this highly-regarded inter-
national labor organization as a
force for free trade unionism and
world democracy" Woll wrote in
a letter to Harvey w. Brown, LAM
president.
The IMTF has Belgian, Danish,
Swedish, Norwegian, Dutch, Swiss,
and Luxenbourgian metal unions
as affiliates. The federation will
hold it's convention in Copenhagen
July % to Aug. /, where the LAM
will be represented as an affiliate.

Truinmen Publish
Weekly Poper

Cleveland (FP)-A new weekly
publication, Trainman News, Off
cial newspaper of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen, made its
initial appearance here Jan. 80.
Authorized by the BRT's recent
2Sth convention, the paper in a
front-page editorial declared that
in speaking for railroad trainmen
1--WE will be shouldering a vital re-
sponsibility in the overall fight of
freedom"
Pledging its active participation
in the fight against anti-labor leg
islation, Trainman News declared:
eff American is to lead the way
for healthy democracy in a peace
full world, democracy must be
healthy at home. The current
drive to strip labor of it's rights
is a signal to trouble down the
track. There is no democracy
where there. are no free trade
unions"
Editor of the BRIT paper is Irwin
S. Lippe, who is former editor of
the Ohio Teamster, an AFL pub
lication.

UE Offers $1,000
For Capture Of
Pickef's Murderer

Newark, N. j. (FP)-A $1,000
reward for information leading to
arrest and conviction of the mur-
derer of Mario Russo was offered
Feb. 6 by District a, United Elec-
trical Radio & Machine Workers.
Russo, young married veteran
and UE member, was fatally
wounded by hired strikebreaker
last July 80 while he was picket
ing the strikebound Phelps Dodge
plant in Elizabeth. Russo's murder
climaxed protests from New Jersey
unions and civic groups against
the Phelps-Dodge Corporations i'm
portation of strikebreakers from
New York during the UE's 8-month
strike and their illegal use of fire
arms.
District President James Nc
Leish said it was only because of
the failure of Edward Cohn, pros
ecuting attorney of Union county,
to perform his duty in tracking
down the murder that UE found it
necessary to launch its own inves-
tigation.
"The Elizabeth authorities" Nc
Leish said, "are guilty of the worst
perversion of justice. After the
death of Russo, 80 UE members
appeared voluntarily at the county
prosecutors office to provide in
formation which would lead to the
Indictment of the murderer.
"After two months of investi-
cation, at the instigation of the
Union County attorney, the grand
jury returned it's indictments-16
issued against the very workers
who were subjected to the gang
sters' terror and a meaningless
John Doe warrant for Russo's muir
derer. The nature of the indict-
ments against the UE workers
makes it clear that Attorney Cohn
is out to help Prelps-Dodge break
the union by railroading the union
leaders to Jail on trumpedup
charges"

Coal Employer
Pleads For Aid

Washington (FP) Industry
wide bargaining, which Senator
Joseph H. Ball would prohibit by
statute, places employers at a
disadvantage, President James d..
Francis of the Island Creek Coal
Co., Huntington, w. Va. told the
Senate labor committee Jan. 30.
Francis, stringy lawyer with a
Yankee accent, is one of the king
pins of the southern bituminous
operators asso ocia tion, and
thoroughly despises the practice
of dealing with the United Mine
Workers on an industry basis.
Not only is Francis opposed to
bargaining above the local level,
but he is upset over the UMW's
5 cents per ton royalty on coal GO
ing to a health and welfare fund
for coal diggers. He wants law,
and quick, to stop both practices.
For the most part the senators
were sympathetic, with only Sen
ator Claude Pepper showing in an
irritating needle from time to time.
After Francis had wept over
several pages of testimony on how
industry-wide bargaining finds his
company faced with a "take-it-or-
leave-it" choice and practically no
voice in the contract" Senator
Allen j. Ellender moved it to be
helpful.
'How does this industry-wide
bargaining hurt the employees 2"
he inquired.
That brought thankful smile
from Francis as he said "employ-
ees suffer from the loss of individ-
ual incentive to advance to better
jobs. They are in fixed group.
They have ceased to be individuals
trading for themselves"
But despite the loathsomeness
of that position, he admitted that
"on nationwide bargaining basis
employees get better wages than
they'd otherwise obtain" -

&c Among cobIe
Makers Sued On
Cartel Charges

Washington (FP)-The Justice
Department Jan. 80 filed civil suit
against for corporations for vio-
lating the antitrust laws in the
high TENSION electrical cable in
dustry and named two foreign
firms as co-conspirators in an in
ternational cartel arrangement.
Defendants are General Electri-
cal Co., General Cable Corporation,
the Okonite-C Calender Cable Co.
and the Phelps Dodge Copper Pro-
ducts Corporation, all of New
York. The foreign firms are
Societa Italiana Pirelli of Italy and
Compagnie Internationale Pirelli
of Belgium.
Wendell Berge, Justice Depart
ment antitrust chief, said the
firms were charged with:
1.-Creating an illegal patent
pool.
2.-Entering into cartel agree
ments dividing world markets with
the principal foreign producers.
3.-Fixing uniform prices for
sale in the u. S.
4.-Buying up for collective and
exclusive use all patent rights re-
lating to fluid-filled cable.
5.-Suppressing commercial ex-
ploitation in the U. S. of a supreior
and more economical type of gas
filled cable widely used abroad.

END OF REDWOOD
STRIKE in SIGHT

Eureka, Calf. (FP) - Califor-
MAS longest strike, thatof the
Lumber & Sawmill Workers
against nine redwood mills in
Humboldt and Mendocina counties,
may soon be over.
A compromise proposal has been
submitted to both sides and indi-
cations are that it will be ratified.
1t does not grant union shop,
first objective of the yead-old
strike, but it does give a mainten-
ance to membership clause and
eliminates the 15-day escape
period period during which work
ers may withdraw from the union
without losing their jobs.

Muchinisfs Bur
Foscisfs, Nozis

Washington (FP) - In an Off
cial circular sent to its 100000
members, the international Associ-
alton of Machinists barred mem
bership to any person advocating
or encouraging communism, fas-
cism or nazism, and providing for
the trial and expulsion of any
member of the lam who advocates
or encourages the three philoso-
phies.
The action was by the lam ex-
executive council holding its winter
meeting here, and expands an ori-
ginal policy statement of 1925 at
tacking four communist organiza-
tions as antagonistic in character
and dual in nature to the machin-
lists union.
Declaring that today "commun-
ism and other totaltarian ideolo-
gies pose an even greater threat
to the free nations of the world,
the lam and all other free trade
unions," the new statement charg
ed communism, fascism and nazism
are based on aims forcibly to over
throw existing institutions, abolish
private property and are dual in
nature and contrary to the ideals
and principles set forth in the con
stitution of tha IAN"
Advocates of totalitarianism,"
the statement said, proclaim that
the people exist for the good of
the state. The LAM holds and will
forever cherish and protect the
principle of the state existing for
the good of the people"
