There Should Be No
Power Stronger Than
The Government
By Charles D. Rowe

Last week new book came from
the press John L Lewis, an I'm
authorized Biography" Il contains
statements that, If true, depict a
state of mind IA a powerful labor
leader that are alarming and highly
dangerous to our national welfare.
In many respects Lewis has car
ried on a warfare to secure badly
needed reforms IN the coal in
dustry. The bloody toll of coaP'
has been an appalling one Its rec
ord Of men killed and NAMED has
been a disgrace and a crime. And
his fight for higher wages has been
IN line with the insistence Of all
labor for higher wages. As this
column has said before, one cannot
fight with LeWis's attempts to bet
ter the living conditions of the coal
miners. But we do strongly object
to some Of the methods he employs.
The author of the book, Saul
Alinsky, states that Lewis gave me
unlimited interviews as well as
access to records" One is inclined.
therefore, to place considerable
weight on statements made by the
author regarding Lewis's convic-
tions and detectives And in that
field one finds cause for alarm.
In discussing the present coal and
steel strikes, Alinsky was asked,

was finally convicted and served a
term IN a federal penitentiary. This
was the man and the machine that
started Truman, so it is said. on a
political journey that has finally
ended IN the White House. And
what did Mr.. Truman do before he
was picked up and put into politics?
He went broke operating a small
business, a haberdashery. And now
this failure in the business world
takes upon himself to tell others
how the biggest business in the
world should be operated-the gov
eminent of the United States. And
to charge that all who disagree
from him are reactonaries.
When one considers Mr.. Truman's
wild spending and numerous prom
lseS, he IS IN effect saying this:

vote for me and my party I will !

Alinsky replied:
He IS, as he always has been

There will be sudden, shocking
moves.
About him he sees a labor move
ment that he is convinced has be-
come so dependent upon political
power that 1t has lost its indepen-
dence and strength. It is fairly Ger
tain that Lewis is preparing a
general offensive TO break this
dependence of labor upon the gov

TO Lewis the labor movement
should be independent and strong
enough to force the government to
respond 70 its viii, rather than that
labor should respond to the desires
of the government.
No group Of men should ever
become strong enough to force the
government to respond to its will"
II that day ever arrives, the Amer
lean form Of government, of free
dom for all the people, will have
disappeared That conception, that
a few should dictate TO and force
the government, is one of the most
dangerous ideas facing this nation
today That IS the very thing we
are trying to fight throughout the
world. Now it is said, with con
siderable force behind it, that one

Labor IS human. It is more or
less selfish. like all the rest of US.
If placed in dictatorial power. it
would undoubtedly be as unreason-
able and unjust as any other group.
But probably no more so. If this
is to remain a govern
ment of the people, by the people,
and for ALL the people, no one
group can be permitted to achieve
the power of dictation-the power
TO force the government.
Because this purported conviction
Of Lewis's is so destructive of the
basic philosophy of freedom inner
ent in our government, any leader,

views should be destroyed beyond

Answer 10 CONTRARY.

st. Paul: Here Il q magazine
item that states: Origin of the
phrase best man comes down to
us from caveman days when mar
riage was carried out by capture.
The would-be bridegroom sailed
forth In the dead of night to the
camp OF q nearby tribe, seized the
lady OF his choice, and went away
from that place as rapidly as pos
sible. Naturally there would be
pursuit; so he took with him
friend who was the best fighter
E he could get. Therefore, the phrase
best man came about quite natur-
ally" What do you think?-G. G.
A. Very interesting, and very
phony. How can any one know what
cavemen did or what customs
they had? No record of them
exists except a few fragments of
skulls, some stone weapons and
some primeval drawings scratched
on the walls of caves.
The term best man Is strictly
English. The German term is
brautfuehrer, bridal leader" The
French is temoin, witness" The
Spanish Is padrino de boda,
"groomsman of Cthe) wedding"
The best man is SO called because

he is the groom's best friend
(often q brother among the men
attendants.
Recently I read another fallacious
theory about the origin of the
custom of throwing rice at the bride
and groom. The rice, it was said,
represents stones which the cave
men threw at those who kidnapped
the tribes women. Absurd!
According to the Encyclopaedia
Britannica, the throwing of rice or
other grain formerly wheat is
q very ancient custom, and ex-
presses the wish that the marriage
may be fruitful. for grain was the
symbol of fertility.
In the Middle Ages the wheat
ears were worn or carried by the
bride. 1t became the custom for
young girls to assemble outside the
church and throw grains of wheat
over the bride. In time the wheat
grains were cooked into biscuits,
the forerunners of modern wedding
cake"
