| e work, or other means found whereby our employment | opportunities will not be lost) we are not going to |render services in the making of television.” Such is {the message delivered by James C. Petrillo to the Musicians’ Union. He also announces that he intends to insist on the employment of double crews of musi- cians when staidard radio programs containing music are presented simultaneously on frequency modulation outlets, despite the prohibitions of the recently passed so-called Petrillo Act. As we have said before, Mr. Petrillo is not an isolated example of a labor leader who belleves his highest duty to his union is to create jobs for its members. He is, however, unexcelled in the effrontery with which he proclaims his belief in the doctrine, regardless of the damage done by his obstructive tactics. Once again he makes it clear that any in- vention, however beneficent, that threatens to deprive a single one of his musicians of a job will be suppressed if he can compass its destruction. - — — —— -~ e grows,” he says, “the musician is going to grow with Fou:‘;Q";fii:}g}fy“gffifiz‘asfis — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 4t or we are not going to assist its development.” A Flushed with viectory as he is after negotiating a highly advantageous contract with motion picture producers, it is not to be expected that Mr. Petrillo will be abashed by public criticism or intimidated by the restrictive and highly punitive legislation enacted by Congress to curb his activities. For the truth is that he is following a policy that pays if the policy-maker can get away with it. The union leader who succeeds in making jobs for his followers gains their allegiance; : ka Empire cept Sunday by the 3 COMPANY reets, Juneau, Alaska Second and Mal!

The employers whom he has held up re- peatedly, with rare success, are no match for him. Ths particularistic law aimed at Mr. Petrillo, as we said at the time, is a bad one, and is, moreover, open to attack on constitution grounds. Until public opinion is roused to resist antisocial labor union practices wherever found and express its determina- tion to extirpate them legally and forcibly, if neces- might as well resign ourselves to the dictatorial Petrillo’s kind. 1) sary, we rules of labor leaders of Mr WORLD STRIKE? Yesterday’s announcement by Secretary-General Louis Saillant of the World Federation of Trade Unions that French longshoremen would refuse to unload any U. S. military manned ships sent to replace strike-bound ships if American seamen strike June 15 ‘s interesting from several angles. Saillant has re- | quested similar action from federated unions in other . countries. they His announcement came after President Truman 1942, the last year for which information is available, New Era of G (New York Times) Department statistics indicate that an- meomes of $1,000,000 or more fell from ind 513 in 1929 to 20 in 1932, that I “As television | the only way to overcome him is to fight his pro-: had stated he would man strike-bound ships with they were only 40. Nevertheless a study of philan- trophy made for the Russell Sage Foundation by Shelby M. Harrison and F. Emerson Andrews main- tains that we are entering “a new era of giving,” not because more money will be donated but because tax- supported public assistance, social insurance of various types, Government appropriations for international relief, meet many of the needs that were once lumped under “charity.” Research in science has engrossed the most im- portant foundations. If we are to have a tax-supported National Science Foundation to operate on an annual budget of at least $100,000,000, which is 70 per cent more than the total annual expenditures of all private foundations in the country, there may well be fewer philathropic grants for research in physics, chemistry, biology and medicine. Hence even more attention will be paid to education and social welfare, which already account for large grants. We may therefore expect more scholarships, fellowships, student loans and sub- sidies to colleges and universities, and more for social welfare and the fine arts. There is no reason to suppose that the foundations have outlived their usefulness. The Russell Sage Foundation’s report makes much of the fact that with total assets of nearly two billion dollars the founda- tions will continue to pioneer in new fields and lead progressive movements. This is particularly true of the social sciences, which are charged with political dynamite. Most important is the insistence of the report on the serious danger that democracy faces | with the multiplication of governmental agencie: We need criticism of governmental agencies, and it is {here that the foundations can do effective work. naval and military’ personnel if the proposed June 15 strike is carried out. It would in effect be a world strike. While it is indicated that the seagoing unions’ demands may be modified to avert a strike, it would be interesting to see what the developments would be if such a world strike was instituted against American shipping. By manning the ships for the domestic trade with naval and military personnel, some sort of service would be carried on if the strike develops. And it is possible that the governments of other nations would also take this course to keep the world trade moving for the war-ravaged countries of Europe are in great need for the food which American shipping is deliv- ering, and it is doubtful if these European peoples would stand for the same pushing around the Americans have been taking' in recent strikes. Secondly, it would seem that the seamen and longshoremen of other nations, all of whom earn far less than the American sailor or dock worker, would not be too sympathetic in striking and losing their own wages as a result.

Those present included Murray, Lew Hines, AFL Legislative Repre- sentative; plus Senators Jim Mur- ray of Montana (chairman), David I.

Daily, Truman leans more and more on Vinson. Along with Jim- my Byrnes, he has the most all- round experience in the Cabinet— «ervice as a Congressman, judge, economic stabilizer, war mobilizer, and head of the RFC.
