The Now's OBLIGATION

Secretary of the Navy Thomas has
done a most commendable thing in au-
thorizing special board to hear the case
Of Eugene w. Landy, Merchant Marine
Academy graduate, who has been denied
a Naval Reserve commission.
In announcing his decision, Secretary
Thomas pointed out that "the Navy is in
no way obligated to take the graduates of
a merchant marine academy into the
Naval Reserve" That is true. 1t does not
follow, however, that the Navy has no OBJ
legation in this matter.
All members Of this particular gradu-
ating class were given reserve commits
sions except Mr.. Landy, an honor student,
and two others who were barred for phys
ical disabilities. Why was Mr.. Landy
turned down? Of1cially, no reason was
given 1t is known, however, that the de-
cision turned on the discovery that Mr..
Landy'S mother had been a Communist,
quitting the party seven or eight years
ago, and that the young man was Eek
tremely close to his mother"
In these circumstances, and assum-
ing that there is nothing in the record
diScreditable to Mr.. Landy, what is the
Navys obligation? 1t would seem to be
quite simple and an obvious one. 1t has
an obligation to Judge this young man on
his own merits, and to refrain from
blighting his life and his career because
he remains devoted to his mother despite
the fact that she made the mistake of
joining the Communist Party after her
husband died in 1937-when the young
man who now awaits the Nays Judgment
was all of three years old.

1t may be true that modern
physics has hanged the
thinking of man, and made
the old out of date, and the
new something else again, but
to the majority of mankind
the old ways of thinking are
the only ways. Maybe Einstein

have been told, but to most
people, even yet, and perhaps
always. what they see is what
they see, even though they
know all is just energy in an
other form.
These new ideas fail to sat-
isfy the emotions. The emo
tional life of mankind is far
Older than any other, and has
the strongest hold.

Business Secrets

Inc FOurLn CIRCUIT COurL OF Appears,
in unanimous decision, has struck down
the look-at-the-books doctrine of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board.
The case grew out of dispute be-
tween the Truitt Manufacturing Company
of North Carolina and union Of the AFL
ronworkers. This union had demanded
a certain wage increase. The company
made compromise offer, but said It's
competitive position was such that it
could not afford to meet the whole de-
mand. Thereupon, the union demanded
the right to have certified public ac-
countant examine the company's books
to see whether it was telling the truth.
This demand was refused by the company.
To the surprise of most people, the
NLRB sided with the union. The COM
pany's refusal to open its books, the board
held in substance, amounted to refusal
to bargain in good faith, as required by
the Taft-Hartley Act. But the Court of
Appeals would have none of this. Chief
Judge Parker, speaking for the court, said:
The statute requires good faith bar
matters affecting the terms and conditions
of employment, not with respect to matters
which lie within the province of manage
ment, such as the financial condition Of the
company its manufacturing costs or the pay
ment Of dividends. And we do not think
that merely because the company has OBJ
jected to a proposed wage rate on the
ground that it cannot afford to pay it, good
faith bargaining requires it to open up its
books to the union in an effort to sustain
the ground that it has taken. II such
were held to be the law, demand for ex-
animation of books could be used as a club
to force employers to agree to an unjusti-
fed wage rate rather than disclose their
financial condition with such confidential
matters as manufacturing costs, which
could conceivably be used to their great
damage. To bargain in good faith does not
mean that the bargainer must substantiate
by proof statements made by him in the
course of the bargaining. 1t means merely
that he bargain with a sincere desire to
reach an agreement There can be no
question that the company here was bar
gaining in that spirit
This is ruling which brings collec-
tive bargaining back into harmony with
the intention Of Congress when 1t passed
the act. If 1t is also rebuke to the NLRB,
that agency has only itself to blame.

from the ground up by these
workers. We have men CLASH
fed as laborers who have
practically built the tracks
over which the cars operate.
They are able to put in two
wheel rails. two slot rails, and
two third rails and all the
necessary equipment that goes
with this operation. The rails
must be in perfect alignment
so that the car will remain
on the tracks, the pillow will
fit the slot. and the third rail
will mesh with both sides of
the pillow shoe. They not only
do this on a straight track.
but they do it going around
curves such as Washington
Circle. These rails are all bent
on the job-out in the street
by our union laborers. I
could fill the paper with ex-
ceptional jobs done by my
fellow workers.
Is anyone so foolish as to
think that any building trade
mechanic or any other kind
of mechanic could 60 out and
construct this type Of work?
This is only one small phase
Of the work done by the men
who are on strike. 1t is fool
hardy to compare one Job with
another. A man who drives a
bus or a streetcar, repairs
streetcars, lays the rails or
does any one Of the hundreds
of jobs performed by mem
bers of this union has certain
aptitudes and skills that are
not found in other jobs. Just
what constitutes skilled work
is often a matter of opinion.
How many people have Jobs
where they are required to re-
port at least once a day and
more often twice a day at
various hours. both early and
late. rain or snow, hail or blow,
in hot and cold? Transit OPP
orators do not have a job
where they can pick up the
phone and call the boss and
say. I won't be in" because,
if they did. they would not
be transit operators very long.
This is a public service job,
and we are expected to al
ways be ready for work as
required.
When I went to work for the
transit company. I say with
modesty, you had to be a good
man to hold the job. In recent
years. because Of more rigorous
examinations and training OF
applicants. one has to be an
exceptional man to be en-
ployed. Being responsible for
the safety of the most precious
cargo in the world-human
beings-while carrying them
through the busy streets of
Washington, sometimes over
icy, snowy and wet streets
when they are slippery and

when the sun beams down,
maintaining schedules. collect
ing fares and being responsible
for large sums of money, ex-
aiming and issuing transfers

However, a short journey into
Maryland by any of today's

how much earlier the sur

Considering Washington as
the hub of q wheel and major
