executive board of the Federation

A bill to repeal the Republican
measure was before the House TO,
debate today. A vote Is expected
tomorrow. The Democratic leader
said he expects his party col.

ments and support the measure
almost unanimously.
Explanation Required.
As amended last year, the trade
act requires the President to give
an explanation to Congress If he
cuts any duty after the Federal
Tariff Commission advises that
such action might injure an Amer
ican industry.
Mr.. Truman told Congress that
negotiation of neY trade pacts has
been hamstrung by the new pro-
cedures.
The House Republican Steering
Committee decided yesterday to
battle to keep a part of their
measure, by driving for two
amendments to the administra-
tion's bill which would:
/. Continue the advisory power
of the Tariff Commission, al

all trade agreement, permitting
this Government to reconsider any
tariff cut which proves injurious
to an American industry. Such
clauses have been inserted in re-
cent pacts. but they are not in
older ones.
The old law. which the Demo-
Gratis want to restore gives the
President full power to cut Amer
lean duties in pacts with coun-
tries which agree to reduce their
trade barriers in return. Before
this law first was enacted In 1884.

THE JUDGE TO LAUGH LAST
Hugo S. Sims)

The trial of eleven Communist leaders continues in
New York City, with Judge Harold R. Medina, of the
Federal Court having hard time to control the ire
sponsble utterances of the defendants and their law
yers.
Recently, the judge, after having denied motion for
mistral, commented that he never heard judge be-
ing bated and insuted as have been" He spoke the
solemn truth casual reading of the news accounts
of the trial clearly indicates
The judge has leaned over backward, apparently in
attempt to give full leeWay to the defense of those
accused of plotting to overthrow the government of the
United States by force He has put up with situations
and insults which, in an ordinary trial, would land
somebody in Jail for contempt of court.
Mr.. Medina however, will have his inning later
We would not be surprised if he is not keeping
rate record of the behavior of the defendants and their
attorneys When the trial over, feel sure that
of them will time for their contempt of the court
The long-suferng jurst will have his inning but will
not have acted precipitately in to eopar-
die the constitutional rights of the defendants by TAX
ing vigorous action which might influence the jury.

STRATEGY IN COAL MINING,

The strategy of John L. Lewis, in calling his miners
from the pits for week to stabilize employment is
planned by the 65164000 tons of coal above ground
May This is enough for fiftytwo days Normally the
above-ground supply is around so 100000 tons.
1t is interesting to note that while Mr.. Lewis is con-
demned in what might term captalistc circles for
his decision to pare down coal stocks, his purpose is
generally recognized scheme to cut down the coal
piles in order to strengthen the economic bargaining
position of his union Production in the mines is out of
balance and miners working full-time while
others out of work. The mine owners, having
ira twenty-five days coal supply on the ground are
bargaining with more spirit this year than usual In
fact, observers report that the operators show
confidence in their wage talks than they have for years
Nor do all of the industrys spokesman rritated
by the Lewis decision to stop soft coal production In
fact, coal operators admit that the increasing
backlog of coal makes stoppage welcome because some
of the coal mines have out of customers.
Production out of balance but this not only affects
the miners but the sale of coal to In other
words, large surplus above ground weakens the min
ers bargaining position but it also weakens the sales
price of coal.
