boards recommended q generous wage increase
without much seeming regard for the Wage
Sterilization Act. When the proposed new
scale was cut by the then Economic Stabilizer

ment seized the roads, and a bill was pushed
through the Senate overruling Mr.. Wilson's

delivered what In retrospect appears to be
mortal blow to the system, by completely dis
regarding . proposed settlement by another
emergency board even though 1t involved sub
stantial wage increases Service on all major
lines was discontinued for two days until the
defiant unions capitulated in the face of the
Presidents threat to push for conscription bill.
Events this year followed much the 1946
pattern except that the operating brotherhoods
demanded 80 per cent increase. This was cut
to IS per cent by the emergency board. Despite
the fact that this was considerably higher than
the raises given in such boom industries as
automobiles and coal, the carriers agreed TO
pay it, but three of the brotherhoods held out
for more. This again brought about Govern
ment seizure and an Injunction against issuing
strike calls.
This experience seems to indicate that At
the very least Congress should amend the
statute by giving the Mediation Board or the
Secretary Of Labor authority to appoint an
arbitrator in any major railroad dispute whose
award Is final and binding. The provisions OF
the act requiring the President to designate
emergency boards give an exaggerated I'M
portance to such controversies. Moreover, tns
dignity Of the White House Is not enhanced
when its principal occupant and his assistants
have to act IN an appeasement role.

Passion Of Moment
Must Not Dim Faith in
U. n, Marshall Says

Secretary of State Marshall sees
. genuine spirit of tolerance and
understanding" as the first ingre-
dent in making the kind Of world
We want"
He emphasized this in luncheon
address yesterday to the Federal
Bar Association. He urged that the
American people not let passions
of the moment" dim their faith in
the United Nations and fundamen-
tails of the American system.
Gen. Marshall called on the law
yers in his audience to help our
people to an understanding of the
character of the United Nations
both as to its potentialities and its
limitations"
Two Agreement Needed.
1t is inevitable, he declared, that
like the American Constitution the
U. N. Charter must undergo a
process of Interpretation and re-
finement." But he emphasized that
the Charter cannot be amended
without agreement Of a two-thirds
majority of the member countries,
including unanimous vote of the
five major powers.
He asserted as little short of the
miraculous" that the United Nations
has become growing concern with
all its diverse elements, and said to
disrupt it now would be tragic
error"
You lawyers" Gen. Marshall add
ed, must help us to remind our
people that the United Nations is
a place for negotiation among gov
ernment and that such negotia-
tions require patience and long de-
bate.

New Jersey Trying to
Clean Jim Crow Blot

Long regarded as one of the most
prejudiced states in the north,
New Jersey is now making a de-
termined effort to eliminate many
of the unfair practices against
races and creeds.
When the new state constitution
was recently adopted, it included
an anti-discrimination provision.
The first direct move was the
abolition of jim crowism in the
National guard.
Gov. Alfred E. Driscoll last No
vember appointed a committee on
civil rights to investigate and re-
port it's findings.
After a comprehensive survey,
the committee reports there is
widespread discrimination in the
state based on race, creed, color
and national origin.
To curb practices which are in
violation of the bill or rights in
the new state constitution, the
committee has recommended a pro-
gram designed to promote and
safeguard freedom of speech and
assembly and also to strike at pre-
valent segregation.
The committee reported that
discrimination and segregation as
to color is practices in approx
mately SO public schools, and also
that discrimination is common in
hospitals, not only as to admis-
sion of patients, but also in the
appointment of doctors, nurses
and %internes.
Frequent violations were cited
as to hotels, restaurants, theaters,
bowling alleys and skating Kinks
in particular. The committee said
the two latter seem to have a
"gentlemen's agreement" to dis
criminate against Negroes.
Over in Hackensack, which has
considerable Negro population, a
fine skating rink was opened and
Negroes visited the place as it was
for the public's entertainment.
The owners were alarmed and
Immediately called upon the "best
Negro" leaders of the community
to meet and confer with them on
the best methods Of keeping Ne
groes away. The owners are said
to have vowed they would close
down rather than permit Negroes
to skate with the whites.
Among the committee recon-
mendations areff expansion of the
powers of the state division
against discrimination to include
the entire field of civil rights
legislation to forbid discrimina-
ton in public and qpasi-public
housing and to ban restrictive
covenants; equality of educational
opportunity by ending segregation
in the public school system, estab-
lishment Of a medical college in
the state and legislation prohibit
ing discrimination in business and
secretarial schools.
More health and recreational
facilities and more public accom-
modations were also recommended.
The committee further recon-
mended that the committe be re-
