Ironically, in view Of Mr.. Cliff
ford's later status as q strategic
aide in the Truman battle against
the Taft-Hartley Act. his next big
contribution to White House policy
making also involved labor

John L. Lewis.
Mr.. Lewis threatened during
that same 1916 summer to pull out
his miners, unless he got 81 hours
pay for a 40-hour week. Recon-
version Director John r. Steelman
and Labor Department officials
urged on the President 48-for-40

would accept. Mr.. Clifford and
Secretary of the Interior Krug
both protested that even a frac-
tional "give-in" to Lewis would
touch off a whole new strike wave.
Mr.. Clifford and Mr.. Krug called
for a standing fight to the finish.

just last month jumped to $40, 1000.

The Clifford transition from the
status of "a presidential adviser
to that of "the" adviser and chief
White House workhorse came
when A. F. Whitney and Alvaney

in the strike of May. 1916. His

Round After Round,

By Froneis ?. poueIo.

The differences over Capital
Transit Co. wages, now before
an arbitration board, is q dis
pute between the company and
union employees. But to some
watching the proceedings. it
appears to be another act in
the continued drama of Zim-
ring & Oliver VS.. Simpson &
Curtin.
The two firms oppose each
other in Washington one week,
and in Newark, N. j.. another
week. They meet on different
sides of arbitrations in the
transit industry all over the
country. Their lines in the
succeeding dramas are always
changing but their roles are
fundamentally unchanged.
Zimring & Oliver, Of the
Labor Bureau of the Middle
West, represent employees who
are members Of the Amalga-
mated Association of Street,
Electric Railway and Motor
Coach Employees Of America.
Simpson & Curtin represent
the traction companies which
employ Amalgamated's mem
berS.
In the transit industry, it
Is said that Simpson & Curtin
is the answer of the companies
to Zimring & Oliver. Zimering
81 Oliver, on the other hand,
say they are the answer to the
American Transit Association,
with its facilities for cooper
ative action and research for
the companies, and to the ex-
perts In finance, law and other
subjects the companies have
on their stats.
Cast of Characters
Before going any farther,
the persons In the drama had
better be presented. They are:
o. D. Zimring, director of the
Labor Bureau Of the Middle
West with headquarters in
Chicago. The word bureau"
suggests some sort Of Govern
ment connection, but 1t is q
firm conducted pretty much as
a law firm is. Mr.. Zimring
is an attorney and is counsel
for Amalgamated. the parent
union. The bureau represents,
as labor counsel. the various
local divisions Of the Amalga-
mated. The Washington divi-
sion is No. $50.
E. L. Oliver, a partner in the
bureau and In charge Of its
Washington office. He is q
Minnesota man and q grad
uate Of the University Of
Minnesota. He has been 4
, Ceacner ana served With the
Federal Trade Commission, the
old NRA and with the war
time Office Of Production Man
agement. He has been an Or
ganizer with the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers and research
director for the Brotherhood
Of Railway Clerks. He was ex-
ecutive vice president Of the

John L. Lewis was letting the

Clifford Has Played
Big Role in White
House Policy
By Mortin S. Hayden

A wide-torn gap in the ranks of
those who, by intimately advising
the President, shape the Nations
destinies will appear next January
when Clark M. Clifford quits the
White House.
Mr.. Clifford, first holder of the
Truman-created job Of presiden-
tial legal counsel, will break nor
NAL Washington precedent by
stepping out as the Presidents
closest adviser at time when his
popularity with "the boss" is, by
every appearance, at its highest.
Critics, friendly. bitter and
Jealous, have variously described
the departing aide as: ''The White
House hatchetman"-"the admin
istration pretty boy"-"the brain"
the presidential ghost"-"the
real President" captain of
the Missouri gang" and as both
the "leftist" and the labor batter"
of the Fair Deal circle.
Actually, at times. none Of these
descriptions and. at time. all of
them. fit the 42-year-old st.
Louisan.
Early Truman Backer
Essentially, he has been "the
Presidents lawyer" with all that
term implies. Like lawyers every
where, he has given his boss basic
advice that sometimes resulted in
basic policy determination. But
his chief job has been, not the
shaping of administration policy.
but rather its packaging and de-
livery to the political court Of pub
lie opinion.
It was by the sheerest accident
that Mr.. Clifford came to the
White House. AS rising st. Louis
trial lawyer in prewar days. he
once met County Judge Harry
Truman Of Kansas City at . bar
association meeting. He later had
a casual meeting with Senator"
Truman. Equally casual was his
connection with organized politics.
A lifelong Democrat. it was once
tentatively suggested that his
youth, his looks and his increas-
ing repute as a courtroom lawyer
qualified him as a possible st.
Louis mayoral nominee. He re-
fused on the ground that. even If
he could win, he could not support
three daughters on a government
paycheck.
Mr.. Clifford was, however. the
lawyer for James K. Vardaman,
one of Mr.. Truman's few original
hackers In his initial Senate cam
paign of 1884. Both Mr.. Varda-
man and his attorney became
wartime naval officers. When
President Roosevelt's death jump
ed Mr.. Truman into the White
House, Mr.. Vardaman was sum-
moned to be his naval aide. Mr..
Vardaman, in turn, sent for 1t.
Clifford to be assistant naval aide.
