ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. R T o o\ W THE CHANGING AMERICAN VIEWPOINT It was William Allen White, the widely known Emporia, Kan., editor and staunch Republican, who warned his party early in the summer that it would | be necessary for the followers of the elephant o swing sharply to liberal thinking if they expected to regain prestige as a major political party in this country. Editor White assured at various times before the Cleveland convention that a liberal viewpoint | must be taken, but his writings went for naught.| He was admitted to be one of the most brilliant editors in the country, but the powers within his party thought they could continue to tell the man from Kansas a | little something about politics. They named Alf Lan- | don, a liberal, on a reactionary platform. Mr. White ever loyal and a warm friend of Mr. Landon’s, went along. He attempted in his skillful way to build his friend up to be the man of thie hour, but in his edi- torial columns from time to time he warned of the trend toward more liberal thinking Tuesday Mr. White’s original advice to the Cleve- land convention was upheld as he probably expected it would be. It is apparent that his party overlooked very good advice. They forgot or ignored the fact that the Kansas editor through his newspaper is in JLonstant touch with the people of his community, and his community is criterion of all othel The swing is definitely toward a broad American viewpoint in keeping with the times. When Mr. Roosevelt made his remark about “horse and buggy” thinking some said he was directly insulting the farmer. The farmer, as some of the reactiona politicai leadsrs will now understand, drives an automobile just like the man in the city and when he wants to go somewhere he rides in an airplane. Furthermore, he turns on his 'tadio, reads his newspaper and keeps in touch with what is going on. The “dark ages” of politics when the county poli- tical leader came out to the rural school caucus and the voter had to take his word for it or wait a week or two for his newspaper to reach him is over. There isn't any such thing as hoodwinking the public poli- tically any more. That great group of Americans who make up the public know what i all about. They are abreast of the changing times—in step with the automobile, the airplane and radio. Because some were not aware of this fact, the Republican party went down again to inglorious defeat this week. Mr. White warned but his advice went without heeding. It is, however, probably evident even to the most reactionary now that the Republican party, if it expects to continue in existence, must start from the ground up to build a political party in keeping with actual conditions in the nation. LABOR LOOKS TOWARD TAMPA Eyes of organized labor throughout the country, while apparently on the maritime strike directly, are turning toward Tampa, Fla., where the American Federation of Labor is to meet for its annual con- vention on November 16. Last year, it will be re- called, an open split, with a fist fight as a sidelight, between the Lewis: “big industrial union” group and the regular AF. of L. forces featured the gathering This year that situation is expected to come to an out and out decision over control. As the days move rapidly toward convention time there is wide interest in the matter in labor circles, and Louis Stark, writing for the New York Times, brings out some interesting sidelights on the present tone of things within the organized forces. Mr. Stark writes: For nearly a fortnight the word “peace” has been prominent in labor circles, which have been concerned with the grave danger of a split in the organized labor movement. Several moves, interpreted as peace over- tures, have been made by responsible labor leaders to heal the breach that was opened last November when John L. Lewis and his associ- ates in seven other unions formed the Com- mittee for Industrial Organization for the pur- pose of advancing the cause of industrial unionism in mass-production industries. Occupying a central place in the peace movement has beén Max Zaritsky, president of the United Hatters, Cap and Millinery Workers International Unjon. It was at.a convention of the hat makers and millinery workers, at which these two unions separately chartered by the American Federation of Labor became unified, that the peace talk got under way. At this convention David Dubinsky, presi- dent of the International Ladies Garment ‘Workers Union, declared that he and other members of the C. I. O. were ready to give up that organization provided a plan could be agreed upon for continuance of the drive for unionization of the steel industry and other mass-production industries on an industrial- union basis. ‘The newly united union thereafter adopted a declaration and resolution for presentation to the C. I. O. and to the federation’s executive The.declaration expressed unequivocal sup- port of the C. I. O. The resolution referred to the council’s suspension, late in the summer, of ten C. 1. O: unions for developing their or- states, too. _ganization g5 an alleged Tival to the Az Prof Iy _flournal., . AT, It called upon the council to permit the ten unions to be represented at the federation’s annual convention in Tampa on November 16, “where the matter will be submitted to the judgment of labor’s highest authority.” A second section of the resolution proposed that, pending the action of the Tampa con- vention, the council and the C. I. O. name subcommittees to explore the possibility of reconciling their differences and finding a for- mula for uniting the labor movement. Mr. Lewis, as C. I. O. chairman, announced that he was in agreement with both proposals in the resolution. The federation’s council accepted the one which called for appoint- ment of a subcommittee and proceeded to name such a committee, Mr. Lewis immedi- ately announced that he wanted the council to clarify its position by answering that section of the hatters' resolution which called on it to restore the suspended unions to their pre- vious status of A. F. of L. members in good l standing The subcommittee named by the executive council informed Mr. Zaritsky that it would be free to explore, with C. I. O. representatives, “every possibility and avenue of’ reconciliation of all differenc that caused the breach, “including the complete restoration of the former status” of the C. I. O. unions. The sudden propulsion of peace talk above the surface of what had for some weeks been quiet conversations in union circles was sig- nificant because of the imminence of the fed- eration’s convention. It was realized by those who formulated what they hoped would be the basis for peace that if the convention rati- fied the suspension order of the executive council, formation of an actual rival labor fed- eration was quite inevitable. Such a mov they feared, would bring with it years of con- ! flict and irreparable injury to both groups which would weaken all of organized labor for a long time to come. They knew that with the ten unions, whose members comprise one-third of the A. E. F., barred from the convention, the craft-union- dominated council would obtain overwhelming support for its suspension order. Since the constitution provides that a charter cannot be revoked unless such action is approved by two-thirds of the votes at an annual conven- tion, the Lewis bloc felt certain they could defeat such approval provided they were seated at the meeting The role of peacemaker was one to which aritsky had aspired as early as last At that time he went to Miami, where the council was holding its quarterly session, at which the C. I. O. was ordered to dissolve. He saw that the obstacles to a set- | tlement then were insuperable and he deferred his self-appointed task. He resumed the role of mediator last week, and his convention’s action took his C. I. O. associates, including even Mr. Lewis, by surprise. Mr. Zartisky was in the position of a C. I. O. \ member proposing a peace formula to his own group as well as to the executive council { without consulting his associates on the C. I, O, council. He defended this position by ying that his union had perfect freedom to take | such action if it deemed it advisable, Delay { might be irreparable. i The problem before Mr. Zaritsky and the craft-union members of the executive council who are in a mood to meet him part of the way is to obtain what they consider satisfac- tory concessions from two men who hold the best hands in the struggle for leadership in American labor: Mr. Lewis and W. D. Hut- cheson, president of the United Brotherhood of Carpente Last August Mr. Hutcheson threatened to I leave the A. F. of L. if Mr. Lewis, his bitter opponent and personal enemy, and his C. 1. O, associates went unpunished. His threat was powerful, for he said in effect to the craft- union leaders: “If I leave the federation Lewis will get control, and where will your Jjur- isdictions be then?” The council members recalled that the in- dustrial-union group had been defeated at the last convention by a vote of about 18000 | to 11,000 (the unions have a vote for every 100 members). They realized that if Mr. Hut- cheson quit the federation with his 3,000 votes, their votes would be reduced to 15,000 and that if the C. I. O. group then gained a little over 2,000 votes it could put through itg proposal for granting industrial-union charters to mass-production workers, irrespective of craft-union jurisdictional claims, and could i seize entire control of the federation’s admin- ' istrative machinery and all the offices, ousting the craft-union adherents from their rule, which has lasted half a century. | With the executive council members it was “either Hutcheson or Lewis They chose the six-foot carpenter whose fist fight with the | burly miners’ chief at the last federation con- | vention deepened the division in labor’s ranks. Having chosen the carpenter, the council members are now aware that Mr. Hutcheson 1s even more powerful than he was prior to the suspension of the dissident unions, Then he had a membership of 200,000 and was head of the second largest union in the tederation, the miners with 400,000 being the first in size, Today the carpenters pay dues on 300,000 members (having added 100,000 in the last year) and, with a few allies, are able to do- minate the federation’s policies, Therefore, if the council members are to win out in a conciliatory policy on the indus- trial-union controversy, they will have to carry with them the assent of the carpenters’ presi- dent. If the conferences proposed by the hatters’ convention fail to take place, or if they break down without result, other peace moves may be made.
