Thof Lewis Fine

Filming Of John l.. Lewis by Judge I.
Alan Goldsborough, applauded or con-
demned by millions of people, depending
uron their point of view, appears to be an
exorbitant punishment and personal
ro.hor than legaIistic or judicial victory.
without going into the details OF the
dispute which existed between the UNI"
chief and the mine operators, it appears on
the face Of it that the Judge GOldsborough
feIt called upon to intepret exactly what
Mr. Lewis had in his mind when he used
the words. Contract dishonored" In
message TO his miners.
Perhaps the judges Interpretation OF
Mr. Lewis mind is correct, perhaps II Is
wrong: but in any event, the hne was
levied for contempt of court on the grouhuS
.Lat strike had been ordered and theh
declared off, by the use of the woros
sn,oorodr and "dishonOred" in Mr. Lewis
messages to the miners.
While we very definitely are oppoSeo
to anarchy, regardless on which slue VI
the Iabor-management fence II occurs II
anpears to us that Judge GoldsborOueh
could have tempered justice with mercy IN
the light Of the monumental insight whi."
he proclaimed, into the working OF the
Lewis mind That alone should have oeeh
victory enough had he then restrained MS
enthusiasm and been more moderate IN MS
judicial punitive decision.
But apparently the good justice gloa.-
inc into his insight into the devious Lewis
mind. had TO extract his pound of flesh ana
vindicate his judgement of what John L.
was thinking, by giving Mr. Lewis and the
limited Mine Workers as much punishment
ne he thought the circumstances warranted
and all that he possibly believed pubic
sentiment would approve.
What the final outcome OF the case WIN
be is doubtful, nor does ii really matter
too much in the larger considerations Oh
the case. The real question is--can Judge
like Justice Goldsborough and strong
man like Lewis lock horns more than once
without doing the cause of justice diS-
service?

First the editor of the New
York Daily Workers and now
the editor of the London Daily
Workers---the turnover on
Communist publications has
become so rapid that the only
way they can keep an editor
six months is to prohibit him
from reading the garbage he
puts into the paper. A merical
examination of three Com
munist editors not long ago
showed that reading the paper
turned their stomachs so often
that even their tape worms
had ulcers.

Women's News
And Views
BY Odessa Query
Secretary Women's Bureau
Region 2-B

"A woman's work is never
done," is a very fitting prov
erb for all women. Among
our active union members, /
think the women should have
the most praise because they
cannot just say a good job
we'll done, but three jobs well
done. There is plenty of work
in the home to keep a woman
we'll occupied. The washing,
ironing, mending, cleaning,
and cooking is a good full
schedule for any weeks work.
A woman is to be admired
when she undertakes to go in
to the shop and work to sup
plement her husbands wages,
or help buy a home. Or,
maybe she is a widow trying
to keep her brood together.
OF all these, l must say it is
the latter who takes the most
interest in union activity. She
knows which side her bread is
buttered on.
A working housewife does
not send her laundry out or
have a laundress come in once
or twice a week, because if
she could afford this she
wouldn't be working. So that
Is why l say, three jobs well
done. In my own case can't
very well say this, because l
don't think that any of them
are very we'll done. But in
general / think we should say
three cheers for the ladies.
One of the women whom l
think should be in this clasSi-
fication is Amelia (Babe)
Berning. With the co-opera-
ton of her family, she does
a derful job. Besides
her houSework she has her
union activity, her auxiliary
and church activities, plus her
welfare work and doing a
good job of them all.
HOUSEWIVES
Most working housewives
do not take a great part in
Union activity, but just shop
activity and not much of this
either. Most of them don't
even know how a union meet
ing is conducted or what pro-
cedure is followed on a griev-
ance or even how to make. a
complaint except by grum-
bling. These are the type of
people who must "get reli-
gion." You know, that old
union religion. So let's try to
get more women active in the
union.
Our choral group is pro-
crossing very nicely. We had
the increase of Helen Eppard,
hailing from Standard Com
mutator, Rosetta Cea ndall
from Champion, Doris My
narczyk from Electric Auto
Lite, Meta Weston, the wife of
Local 12's parliamentarian,

Pat Paterson within the last
two weeks with a promise of
six new ones for next week.
AS yet we have not been noti-
fled of any public appearances

U. s. Appeals To Middle East To Use Restraint

WASHINGTON, R.President Truman has made personal and direct appeals to other govern ments for restraint in dealing with the Palestine situation"
 His press secretary, Charles G. Ross, today gave out this brief statement:
 ''In an effort to prevent the spread of disorder in the middle east, this government has, during recent months, addressed appeals to certain interested governments stressing the importance, in the in terest of Middle East security and world peace, of the exercise of re- straint in dealing with the Pales- tine situation. Some of these ap- peals were made directly by the President"
 Ross statement, on which he re- fused to elaborate, was prompted by questions growing out of a ra- dio report that MT. Truman had appealed directly to the kings of Saudi Arabia and Iraq to use their influence to prevent a spreod of violence.
 Ross said he could not "go be- yond that" when he handed out the brief typewriter statement He added the Presidents messages ''of course were confidential"

Sen. Thomas Asks Not to Be Bothered

WASHINGTON, (P) - Senator Elmer Thomas told Senators in vestigating grain and cotton spec ulation today that he doesn't want to be bothered" any more about his private activities"
 The Oklahoma Democrat, who has admitted speculating on com- modity markets, wrote a Senate appropriations subcommittee that that applies, too, to his assistants.
 If he or they are "bothered," he said, "then I shall consider such activity unjustified and unwar- ranted attacks upon myself and my assistants"
 And he said he would regard any further interference with the business of his Senate office as "an insult to the sovereign state of Oklahoma"
 The subcommittee, headed by Senator Ferguson R.-Mich), has been inquiring generally into speculation. It began the investi- gation after President Truman de- nounced speculation on commodi- ties and blamed it for sharp rises last year in grain prices.

'Unveil' Worlds Biggest Diamond At British Fair

LONDON - A fountain of dia- monds" cascading over two tiers of gold and platinum may sound like magic treasure pile of Alad- din. But it's no fairy tale. The dis play will sparkle under the eyes of thousands of visitors from all parts of the world this spring at the l948 British industries fair. This fair, the worlds biggest, will run simultaneously in London and Birmingham from May to 14.
 Many of the gems to be display ed will soon travel the Atlantic from Britain to Fifth Avenue show cases, eventually to rest in many a prized jewel case through out the United States.
 Central attraction in the dia- mond section of the fair will be the 770-carat Woyie River dia- mond-the largest uncut diamond in the world today-which was found in Sierra Leone. It will be on public view for the first time.
 This famous stone, discovered in l945, is the third largest diamond ever found. Forty-four carats heavier than the Jonker, it has been surpassed in size only by the 3,106-carar Cullinan found in 1905 and the Excelsior of '995.7 carats, found in 1893.
 Stranger than any circus side show will be the exhibit of freak diamonds-the only collection of its kind in the world. The most remarkable item in this, group is a gold nugget with two diamonds one white and one green, actually imbedded in it.

Court Refuses To Halt Picketing

OLYMPIA, (P - The state SUI. preme court in a 6 to decision Friday upheld a lower courts re, fusal to enjoin picketing of the motor ship Garland.
 The injunction had been sought in King county superior court on behalf of Heinie Berger and 13 others operating as a limited part nership under the name of the Aleutian Islands Navigation com pany. The ban was asked against the sailors union of the Pacific and its agent Edward L. Coester.
 The labor union contended that the partnership was mere sham" and the monthly drawing accounts of the partners were really wages.
 Berger insisted the ship was op- erated by limited partnership and was chartered from the Der ger firm at cost of 60 per cent of the profits.
 The union picketed the ship in February, 1947, and longsohremen refused to load the ship, the high courts opinion said.
 The supreme court majority held labor dispute existed, thence injunction will not lie to prohibit the union from peaceful ly picketing the ship for the purpose of completely unionizing the vessels crew of which four were members of the union."

Synthetic Fuel
 Answer To Oil Shortage

WASHINGTON, (P)-Two Con- gressional committees heard some grim news today about the na- tion's future oil supplies.
 l. Secretary of Interior Krug told the House interstate com merce committee this country can not continue to take 63 per cent of the worlds oil consumption from 3l per cent of the worlds re- serves. Synthetic liquid fuels are the answer, he said.
 2. The navy informed a House armed services subcommittee that it has not found anything except traces of oil in Alaska, but it still has hopes.
 Krug recommended that the government finance construction of three commercial-size plants tC produce synthetic fuels. One would use oil shale, another coal and third gas.
 Private companies should oper- ate the plants, Krug said, but gov ernment help will be necessary to get them started because a private operator could not afford to com pete with natural petroleum. Commodore w. c. Greenman director of naval petroleum re- serves, asked that Congress appro- priate enough money to carry the navy's Arctic exploration pro- gram through 1853. He said the navy has spent about half the $9,6OO,OOO appropriated in 1945 to finance the work through 1949.
 The results so far in Alaska have been only encouraging, he said. Oil has not been found in commercial quantities, he added but drilling everywhere has dis covered oil-bearing sands.
 Three wells have been drilled at Umiat, Greenman said, and one yields 24 barrels day. Several more promising cores have been drilled at Cape Simpson.
 Greenman said the Alaska basin is promising because it is believed the Russians are producing oil north of Yakutsk in Western Si- beria. If they are, he said, they are drilling on the other side of the basin which the navy is ex- ploring.
 Greenman said the navy estim- ates it will cost S2O,OOO,OOO to fin ish the Alaska exploration. How ever he did not ask for any spe- cific appropriation.
