Eisenhower would accept t h e
Republican nomination for Presi-
dent, but will not seek it. This
means that if drafted he will run.
but leaves the question whether
Republicans will draft him.
So while the situation has been
clarified in one respect by the
Lodge and Eisenhower statements
uncertainty about the nomina-
ton has by no means been re-
moved. 1t has simply shifted
from What Will Ike Dor" to
What will the Republicans
Do?"
Many Eisenhower supporters
had assumed that the general
would eventually enter the cam
paign for the nomination. It was
said by March or April he would
ask to be relieved, would come
home, take off the uniform, and
frankly enter the lists. Now he
says fatty that he will not ask to
be relieved. He speaks in . SOL
dierly way of the responsibility
Of his present duty" Presi-
dent Truman is not expected to
relieve him of it.
This is not going to make it
easy for the people who seek to
nominate General Eisenhower.
They already face the objection
that he lacks a background of
political "know-how." They
will have now to try to answer
sharp questions about what he
stands for. They can point to
certain things in the record
speeches on basic domestic iss-
ues-and the generals manifest
interest in defending Europe.
Possibly they can devise o m e
method of getting more specific
statements of his views. But
definitely they are on their own.
In one or two respects, how
ever. they have gained. It can
hardly be questioned now that
General like" considers himself
a republican. He confirmed Sen.
Lodges assurances and even
spoke of my republican voting
record" He is not Directing to
the senator's entering his name
in the New Hampshire primary.
and he definitely says he would
consider the nomination as q call
to duty that would transcend
my present responsibility"
The old American view that
the Office should seek the man
will work to aid the Eisenhower
cause. And many citizens will
feel all the friendlier towards
him because of his devotion to
the task in hand. Whether these
factors will compensate for his
refusal to campaign for the nomi-
nation remains to be seen.
One cushion Of the shock Of
the refusal was given the Eisen-
hover forces in the announced
support of two powerful news
papers, the New York Times and
the Chicago Sun-Times. Since,
both are normally democratic,
their announced backing Of Gen.
eral Eisenhower strengthened the
argument of his followers that he
can win needed independent and
democratic votes and reduce par
tisan bitterness.
Lately more than one astute
political observer has declared
that in today's political scene a
genuine draft Of q candidate has
become unlikely il not imposs-
ible. Reminded that J ustice
Hughes was nominated in 1916

ton met he had refused to say

ln1S union mas had collective bargaining re-
lations with American Woolen Co. since 1888.
AS the years passed, workers in one after another
Of the company's mills joined our organization;
and as they did so, they were included ,oithout
question under our contract with the company.
There has always been one master contract
between the union and the American Woolen Co.
This master contract sets forth the broad, gen.
eral terms of employment. 1t is supplemented by
individual contracts in each MILL in order to pro-
vide flexibility to meet local conditions
From 1888 until 1851, relations between the
company and the union were considered good. We
had our differences both local and national, but
peaceabe solution was always found. We were
sure the company did not want to smash the
union; the company was sure we did not want
to drive it into bankruptcy.
This mutual good faith had a constructive
effect throughout the woolen and worsted indus

of our union Other employers took their cue
from American Woolen. Both sides reaped the
benefits, including the highest profits, the highest

by American Woolen Co., the employers refused
to make any effort to reach fair wage agree
ment with our union. The result was our first
industry-wide strike, and our first strike against
American Woolen. Agreement was reached after
four weeks; nearly all the gains were subsequent
ly approved by the Wage Sterilization Board.
We hoped that this strike would be simply an
unpleasant interlude in our relationship with
the company-that we could resume the friendly,
cooperative relationship we had enjoyed in the
past.
Our hopes were soon shattered.

On January of this year, the American
Woolen Co. notified us of it's intention to cancel
our existing contract on March Is.
Despite this notification, delegates from each
of our ,Ooolen and ,corsted local unions voted on
January to allo,U their contracts to rene,U them.
selpes, ,oithout change, for another year.
The workers took this action for two reasons:
First, their contracts already included cost-of-
living escalator providing measure of protec-
tion against initiation. Second the woolen and
worsted industry (like soft goods generality was
suffering severely from business slump.
The employers Of about half the woolen and

This is our position:

This is our position:
Unquestionably the textile industry has been
in slump. Thousands of American Wooden Co.
workers, along with others, have suffered long
periods of unemployment, and even longer peri
ods of part-time work in the last year.
In the face of the slump the company made
net profit, after all taxes, of more than $40 mil
lion in 1851
The slump has not been due to high ,oages;
it has been due to poor business. A flight to the

What has this got to do with the textile busi-
ness? How would this produce more orders, more
sales, more employment or more profits?

Meanwhile, on the eve Of our meeting, Ameri-
can Woolen Co. released its annual statement. It
showed a net profit, after all taxes in excess of
$40 million; nearly $24 million before taxes.
Said the Boston Post, in part: "Just sohat kind
OF an argument (the company can make to its
employees is difficult to see The company

ever kn0,Un.''
Similar sentiments have been expressed by the
press throughout New England.

the good faith of the union. They agreed to let
their contracts renew. But 26 others followed
American Woolen Co. and served cancellation
notices. Many of them, however, have publicly
declared that they are simply protecting them
selves in the event American Woolen gets con-
cessons; only sit haze so far made any proposals
iUhateuer to the union.
In short, except for American Woolen's action
the industry would be assured of another year of
labor peace.
Evening star., 1952-02-21

The American Woolen Co. has only one
objective-to divide and destroy the union of its
workers.
The company ,cants to capitalize on the slump
to play one group Of ,oorkers against another,
promising not to moue the mill Which takes the
biggest ,cagecut.
We are convinced that the company has care
fully plotted its future course If it cannot destroy
the union, it will try to blame the union for actions
it is already committed to take.
And in carrying out its plans, the american
WOOlen Co. is. than scilling to disrupt the
production OF Materials to destroy the veli-
hood of its ,oorkers and bring ruin to the com.
munities Uhere it has earned tens OF millions of
dollars.
Evening star., 1952-02-21

The American Woolen Co., which produces
about one-sixth of all the woolen and worsted
goods manufactured in the United States, is
apparently determined to provoke strike of
almost 10000 workers in 21 mills, scattered
across eight states.
If the company carries through its present
intention, the consequences will be painful to the
workers, to the communities in which they live
and to the nation as whole.
More than half Of the ,Doolen and ,oorsted
goods used by our armed forces is produced in
american WO0Ien Co. mills.
The public stake in this dispute is even greater
than usual. Therefore we are taking this means
of bringing the true facts to the public's atten-
tion.
Evening star., 1952-02-21

On January II the president of the Ameri-
can Woolen, Mr.. Francis w. White, delivered a
widely-advertised speech in Lawrence, Mass, the
nations leading woolen and worsted center
In this speech Mr.. White was bitterly critical
of the union and the workers. He said the COM
pany was going to continue its recent movement
toward the south. He said that 'if any" of the
mills were to stay, the workers would have to
work harder and the union would have to "stop
restricting the use of new machinery.
We were puzzled by Mr.. Whites attack Our
union has never tried to prevent progress; we
have urged all textile employers to modernize
their plants; and we knew that American Woolen,
after years of delay, was finally doing so, with
our full approval. And short time earlier AFTER
the strike-'ce had negotiated ne,c ,oorkload
clause with American Woolen giving the company
more freedom to make changes.
We were even more puzzled on January "a,
when the company finally presented its proposals.
In list Of Is, over Mr.. Whites signature, No. 1
requested continued cooperation" on work as
signments under the present workload clause.
We didn't realize that our puzzement was just
beginning.
Evening star., 1952-02-21

On February 8we received another letter from
Mr.. White. This one added a new proposal-that
we give up our company-wide contract in favor
of q separate contracts, one for each mill.
This was something entirely new Aside from
the A-year history of relationship, Point No. ID

On February IA we met with company nego-
tiators, headed by Mr.. Robert Montgomery, gen.
eral counsel. Mr. Montgomery said that the first

he said, was "demand' and he added. this "de-
mand" had to be met before anything else could
be discussed.
What about the company's claim of economic
distress, we asked? What did 21 contracts have to
do with this?
We got no ans,cer.
Wepointed out that 10000 workers were much
more concerned than Mr.. White, or other COM
pany officials, about the threat to move south.
We said we wanted to discuss the economic mat
ters which had led the company to make it's
threat.
We got ans,Cer.
We asked if Mr.. White would meet with us
himself; since he was insisting on 21 contracts,
maybe he would explain why.

Miles L. Colean. a housing
economist in Washington who
keeps his ear to the ground, says
there's going to be an easing Of
the present relatively tight mort
gage-money situation in 1858.
Sometime in the second quar-
ter there is a good probability
that we shall begin to have a
more ample supply of mortgage
funds than has been available
recently" Mr.. Colean said the
other day.
He added he expected insur-
ance companies and banks to in
crease their ALLEGATIONS of funds
for mortgage loans, while savings
and loan associations, having no
alternative, are bound to pour
their increase in assets into mort
cages"
Mr.. Colean said he doubted
that interest rates would rise be-
yond present levels and "at least
in the latter part of the year
may recede at least slightly"

fund picture may be obtained at

The following rules for bike
safety were listed.
1. Always ride on the right side
of the street.
2. Ride single file without weav-
ing or stunting.
g.. Do not carry passengers.
A. If you must ride at night,
make certain your lights and re-
Electors are in good condition.
5. Obey all traffic laws. They
apply to you as well as to all auto
mobile drivers.
Every operator Of bicycle, and
motor scooter should be instructed
thoroughly in traffic rules and sig
nails by their parents before being
allowed to take the vehicle out on
the streets. It's a life-and-death
