Once she temporarily traded the diamond to Elliott Roosevelt—for a dollar She had met Elliott accidentally in the Kit Kat Club in New York and invited him to her table. El- liott was so critical of his father and other members of the family that Mrs. McLean, a Republican and close friend of Warren Hard- ing, remonstrated “You shouldn’'t talk that way about your father,” she said. “After all, I don't agree with a lot of things Le's done. He's conscripted wealth and so on, but persenally | he’s a fine man.” i Finally, she gave Elliott the Hope, Diamond, and he in return gave her a silver dollur which he carried for luck. Then, remembering the bad- luck reputation of the diamond, Elliott got almost panic-stricken | and started to retrieve his dollar by force. Av that point, Mrs. Mc- Lean traded back her diamond. CHIEF JUSTICE REBUFFED Mrs. McLean was so crushed at the death recently of her daughter that she shut herself up for weeks. Friends worried about her long se- clusion, but she refused to see them. Only the servants remained with her in the spacious, brick Georgetown house, formerly owned by Ambassador Alexander Kirk the Kirk soap millions. Finally, kindly Fred Vinson whose dignified robes as Chies Ju tice have never detracted from his human qualities, decided to try to cheer Mrs. McLean. He and Mus. Vinson walked up to the McLean front door and knocked. A butler opened the door but did not let them in “Mrs one, of McLean is not seeing any- he said u tell her that the Chief 1d Mrs. Vinson just want- ed to say hello for a moment?” re- quested Vinson. “Won't you just please tell her that we are here?” But the butier was adamant. The Chief Justice and Mrs.. Vinson turned away from the McLean door, and the sorrowing owner of the Hope Diamond remained in virtual seclusion until the end came last week LABOR’'S MOSCOW CONFER- ENCE Two men representing more people than the population of Aus- tralia sit down today to negotiate peace for American labor. They are William Green ot the AFL and Phil Murray of the CIO. Their unity talks may be even more diffi- cult than the Moscow Conference. Green's aititude on labor peace has always been snobbish. He has offered the CIO a chance to retu to the AFL, but little leadership inside the AFL. This the CIO con- stantly rejected But today the grass-roots pres- sure from the ranks of labor is too streng, even for “Mother” Greer Labor all over the country has been demanding that the AFL and CIG forget their diiferences, work u.-‘l WELL for cutting down expenditures, Alaska ccme out so bad in the minor Service, the following may interest to those who have been led to believe that | Alaska is going to be hard up for Federal money Bartlett, the total expendi- recommended to $4,619.180 more expenditures in Alaska for all Federal agencies last propaganda that pitals as a result of the cuts in appropriations This seems to us tq be much the same type of the Bureau of Customs employed recently in trving to get its appropriation cuts restored That bureau sent discharge notices to 80 per cent of | its agents when a 10 per cent cut was made in its | appropriations | grams to Congress The result was more than 5,000 tele- protesting the cut The Alaska Native Service submitted an ~stimated | budget of $4,069,000 for the fiscal year 1948.

Result is that the great majority of the AFL, led by teamsters' head Dan Tobin, and garment workers’ David Dubinsky sincerely feel that , there must he labor peace AF OF L DEMANDS So, at today's labor tall Green wil! abandon his hitherto high-and-mighty attitude. However, he’ll demanc certain concessions from the CIO, and this will be his program: 1.—Purge the CIO. 2—Withdraw from the Federation of Trade Unions. 3.—Abolish the CIO Political Ac- tion Committee. i In return Green will oifer the CIO equal membership on the AFL executive board; also complete au- tonomy for all CIO unions in in- dustries where the CIO has a ma- jority of the members. Murray will accept some but not all Ccmmunists from World |all of these proposals. Also, he will have some counterproposals of his own. He will remind Green that the CIO is now twice as big as the AFL which it left eleven years ago, He will point out that much of the AFL’s size and success today is due to the dynamic competition given it by the CIO. Finally, he will express fear that creating a labor monopoly and abolishing competi- ion will stunt, rather than spur, unionization LABOR MERRY-GO-ROUND Most people don't realize that today labor is big business. The unions have investments in real estate running into tens of mil- lions. Some of them own banks, i have even loaned money to in- try .Biggest road-block to labor peace is John L. Lewis—the same Lewis who led the CIO revolt out of the AFL. It the CIO comes back, his chance to become head of the AFL is diminished. Lewis technique will be to split the CIO, then try to pull certain CIO un- ions, friendly to him, into the AFL. Murray, a canny Scotsman, is well aware of the Lewis tactics. He studied under Lewis' Welsh brawn for 25 years Predictior Murray will propose that, as a test of AFL good faith, it cooperate with the CIO in a united front against the Hartley Bill. If the CIO and AFL can't co- operate against the toughest labor bill in twenty years, Murray will argue, then there is no use talking about labor peace.
