Committee To Probe
Milk Strike Story.
Two Prosecutors Will Be
Called To Testify On
Bloodshed, Violence

WASHINGTON, Feb. 49, (P) -
An aroused House Labor commit
tee swiftly decided today to cali
two prosecutors On the carpet to
tell their versions of violence and
bloodshed in a Connecticut dairy
strike.
Chairman Hartley Urn. j. said
ne is going to bring them to Wash.
ington to explain why they
haven't taken action"
Abraham Norman, an official Of
the dairy involved, identified the
prosecutors as Lawrence Epfiano
of Stamford, Conn, and George
Fenelli of White Plains, N. Y.
Sprinkled through Norman's
testimony and remarks of commit.
tee members were references to
yellow law enforcement officers,
ghosts of Al Capone" and use Of
imported thugs and goons."
Hartley said the dairy strike
story points up several things the
committee must consider in writ
ing general labor legislation. He
did not go into details on that.
But on the subject of such legis.
lation, Rep. Miller (R.-Neb.) urged
action because he thinks another
coal strike is coming April l sure
as shootin' and another in gen.
eral motors when union demands
for a closed shop are pressed.
-Four Bills
Miller spoke in behalf of four
bills he has introduced. They would
outlaw the closed shop and union
dues check-off as well as sympathy
or jurisdictional strikes and boy
colts. They would make collective
bargaining contracts binding On
both management and labor and
seek to prevent strikes in vital in
dustries.
Norman told the committee in de.
tail about the Connecticut dairy
strike. 1t was against the Norman
Dairy of New Canaan, Conn. He il

which sells milk in New Canaan
and nearby of Connecticut
and New York.
Norman said the strike was CALI
ed in January, 1916, by local 33s
Of the AFL Transfers union. He
said the union and the company had
at that time a valid contract that
was supposed to last another 10
months.
Strike Threatened
The union, he said, threatened -

of two national diaries.
big, strong thugs and goons
were brought in great numbers
from New York to intimidate W
and our customers" Norman said
He said hundreds of pickets were
thrown around the dairy, which
employed less than a dozen people.
Two drivers were waylaid, he
said, and one Of them beaten int
'insensibility." He identified this
iriver as a nephew, George Nor
man, a former naval aviator who
came back to us by grace Of God
and a parachute" The beating, he
said, took place in Westcheste
county, New York.
Another NepheW-driver, Norman
continued, was threatened with
violence, his truck tires cut and
his milk dumped. That happened in
Stamford, Conn.,, he said.

barity 100000 European Jews,
more than two-thirds of the en-
tire European Jewish population.
IF only for numerical reasons there
has never been and never will be
a Jewish Hitler. "If," says the
Talmud, "the iron falls on the
pitcher, woe to the pitcher! If
the pitcher falls on the iron, woe
to the pitcher!" If the animated
pitcher and iron are to be NUT
ually helpful, and not harmful, the
iron must be free of any fantastic
notion that will lead to it's smash
ing the pitcher. In other words,
the Jews, constituting less than
four percent of the American
populace, inevitably will be more
worried about the attitude of nom
Jews toward them than non-Jews
need be troubled about prejudice
of Jews toward them.
The word "non-Jews' is used
advisedly. Jews are well aware
that anyone who practices Christ
ianity in his daily living and who
abides by Christian precepts is a
good neighbor to everyone. Ac-
cording to Judaism, every gen.
uine Christian is assured divine
salvation as fully as are those OF
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1947-09-12

The problem of race and creed
onerates on a two-way street.
Certainly. Those who live on OPP
posite sides of the street must
cooperate or else conditions can
not improve. But prestige and
social advantage are on the ma
iority's side. In America white
native-born Christians inevitably
WELD an authority by which 9TH
ers can be excluded or be invited
to share the thoroughfare. :
Jews, along with other minor
tiles, dwell between the Scylla
and Charybdis of being told that
they are clannish if they fail to
mingle freely with the majority
group or that they are pushing
if they seek companionship out
side of their coreligionists. The
process of rapproachment and
accommodation is not the same
for the prestige group and for
those who face the danger of re-
buff. Wholesome relationships
flourish only when both parties
understand each others psycholo-
gical hazards.
No Jew alive today will ever
be able to Danish from memory
the fact that rampant anti-Semi-
tism slew with unspeakable bar

jewish ATTITUDE TOWARD INTOLERANCE

the Jewish faith. That is why
Jews have no missionaries and
have never attempted prosely-
Using since the Christian era be-
gan. Idolators are differently
regarded, since their ethical stand
ards are lower. Jews see no
reason to urge Christians to be-
come Jews, except where inter-
marriage is involved, since they
believe that while Jews should
remain faithful to the religion of
their ancestors, Christians are
equally assured Of divine grace.
Appreciation of Christianity and
friendliness toward Christians
does not function to equal extent
among all Jews. Like all other
human beings, all Jews resent
intolerance when it is directed
against members of their own
groupings. Distaste of being
victimized by prejudice is a uni
versal characteristic. Some Jews
are blind, however, as are some
non-Jews, to the wicked folly of
racial and religious prejudice when
it's prey is someone other than
themselves or their conference.
There is a direct responsibility
resting upon Jewish leadership to
eliminate the cancer fbigotry
from Jewish hearts.
Young Mems and Young Wo-
mems Hebrew Associations have
made their buildings increasingly
available to non-Jews in the
neighborhood. That is a gain on
both sides. Recently the New
York Section Of the National
Council of Jewish Women gave
one of the edifices in the East
Bronx outright to a Negro org
anization. There are frequent
instances of Christian and Jew
ish congregations lending their
quarters to a neighboring syna-
gogue or church when fire or
needed repairs have made a con-
gregation temporarily homeless.
These acts of natural kindesS do
more to eliminate bigotry on both
sides than can be accomplished
by preaching. People learn by
doing. Hence among the most
useful things done by Jewish
leadership to diminish intolerance
on the part of Jews, is the complete
readiness with which Jews par
ticipate in communal agencies
provided, only, that they feel well
come. They support the Red
Cross, the Community Chest, the
| Boy Scout council ana the ike,
with genuine zeal.
Special projects to pro mote
good will toward Christians are
many, although the efforts are
rather scattered and there is no
one overall pattern. Courses on
Christianity in Jewish institutions
are not as frequent as might be
desired, except in rabbinical semi
naries, where Christian lecturers
often appear. There was splen-
did series in Baltimore arranged
by a Jewish communal organizat-
ion in which Catholic, Lutheran,
Baptist, Episcopalian and other
spokesman described the doctrines
and observances of their own
