It has deeided not to readmit John L. Lewis and | the United Mine Workers into the AFL on its own | responsibiity. Instead, it refers Leéwis’ application for | reaffiliation to the AFL October convention — and without recommendation. Lewis had expected immediate readmission, so he would be a power at that very October AFL conven- tion. It was even hinted that if the UMW petition were not accepted at once, it would be withdrawn. | Well, it's not accepted. Luckily for the AFL. | Readmitting Lewis would be like letting Gargantua | loose, say, in the U. S. Senate. Either Gargantua would throw ou the Senators or the Senators would throw out Gargantua Lewis' whole record shows what the AFL could | expect. In Look Magazine this week Roscoe Drum- mond and Glen Perry, Washington correspondents, sum up Mr. Lewis, and his rule-or-ruin temperament. As they put it: “It is significant that Mr. been— “For “For “For “For Lewis has and against President Roosevelt and against Wendell Willkie. and against William Green and against Philip Murray. “For and against the AFL. “For and against the CIO. “For and against Messrs. Hutcheson, Woll, Hillman and other labor leaders. “For any against the Republican party. “For and against the Democratic party.” Added to the Drummond-Perry list, there is one | man of whom it can be said that Lewis was “For” all the time— John L.

And at the same time, buildings and facilities destroyed now cannot be replaced until after the war. For these and other reasons, all pointing toward the safety of the entertainment seeker, Juneau theatre managements are beginning a no-smoking inside the theatre policy, starting tomorrow. The City Council requested the action and the Chamber of Commerce has endorsed it. All persons should endorse the move, cooperate by not smoking in our theatres and eliminate the necessity for rigid policing by usherettes who have enough to do as it is. This policy has been adopted throughout the States and in Alaska, Ketchikan has such a ruling. Several recent nightclub fires in which hundreds fun, turned up as charred bodies not recognizable as human, have served to make most persons realize that we should do all within our power to reduce the hazards of fire, Juneau theatre managers are taking this step because they know it is in the best interests of all.
