Job and Relief Views Differ in Planks G. O. P. Wants Un- hampered Business and Local Aid BY DAVID LAWRENCE. HATEVER perplexity the average man may have in attempting to discover the fine points of distinction that lie hidden in the ambiguous phrases of other planks in the two party platforms this year, there is no difficulty at all in noting the differ- ences between the New Deal and the Republican platforms on the subject of restoring unemployment and han- dling relief. The New Deal offers no explana- tion of the presence of 10,000,000 or thereabouts on the relief rolls after nearly four years of ‘“recovery” for which it unhesitatingly claims credit. Nor is there any promise as to when the idle are to get jobs. It is significant that the New Deal | platform states that the first objective | in relieving unemployment is to find | Jobs in “private industry” and where | business fails to provide such employ- ment, the Government should provide | work on “useful public projects.” Republicans Definite. Nowhere in the New Deal platform is there any program for encourage- ment of private business nor any word concerning the universal complaints of businessmen that the New Deal re- form program is actually retarding re- covery and preventing re-employment. The Republican platform has plenty to say about this for it advocates spe- ecifically: “1. Removal of resirictions on pro- duction. “32. Abandonment of all New Deal Policies that raise production costs, in- | crease the cost of living, and thereby Testrict buying, reduce volume and | prevent re-employment. | “3. Encouragement instead of hin- drance to legitimate business. “4. Withdrawal of Government from competition with private pay rolls. “5. Elimination of unnecessary and hampering regulations. “Adoption of such other policies as will furnish a chance for individual | enterprise, industrial expansion, and | the restoration of jobs.” Specifically the foregoing means the revision of existing laws so that busi- ness can know by particular mention | and listing of offenses what it can and cannot do in competition and the | Temoval from Government bureaus of | the power to make by means of “regu- | lations” a set of rules that ought to | be drawn up by the Congress itself Af it is to have the force of law. Business contends that continual uncertainty, the introduction by Gov- ernment of artificial factors which | raise costs and tend to produce buy- | ers’ strikes is a factor that is pre- venting a growth of employment. “Reforms” Carried to Extreme. In brief, the Republican platform | argues that experimentation and “re- | form” have been carried to extremes while the New Deal platform merely | atates that it hopes industry will some | day employ more people. Since the Republicans are to some extent the party of business, large and small, and | since businessmen claim they cannot | expend unless there is opportunity and THE EVE) Behind the News Prolonged Organizing Drive by Steel Unions Ex- pected With Eventual Industrial Strife. BY PAUL MALLON. HAT smart labor Jeaders near John L. Lewis believe he is up to in his steel organizing move is this: He will proceed with a hot and heavy round-up campaign for the next 60 days. and then count heads to see whether he has mustered enough union members to call a strike. He will need a strike to make his control of the industry effective, but first he must get control. Organizing experts who know scmething of the problem believe his drive will hit many hidden air pockets, that his campsign may be a matter of months instead of days, that his chances of early success are not very In fact. they doubt that he will ound up enough workers to con- duct a worthwhile demonstratior any time before election. That there will be trouble and violence, few doudt. To Mr. Lewis, organizing is a heavy irdustry. His committee for in- dustrial organization has half a million dollars to finance this operation, and more money will eventually be forthcoming. No one who knows Mr. . Lewis doubts that the investment will be written off as a loss until his last resource is exhausted. * kK % Mr. Lewis' largest unlisted re- source right now is his close political understanding with President Roose- velt. The mine leader hitched his coal car to the Roosevelt star early in the N. R. A. game. He lately hobnobbed near the speaking rostrum at the Philadelphia convention, as a background leader advised on the platform. Also he has become a per- sonal friend of Prof. Tugwell. For this reason and others the Lewis organization eflort is often interpreted as an indirect Roosevelt campaign stroke. There is no question that Lewis is counting on administration help. Also a Sep- tember strike might have a tremendous effect in dramatizing Mr, Roosevelt’s acceptance speech. But some wise Democratic counselors are already complaining to Mr. Roosevelt that, if he is jockeyed into open support of Mr. Lewis, he will lose votes. In other words, the steel dramatization would bring him no votes he does not now have and would lose some he might otherwise get. Steel manufacturers and large consumers have been quietly stocking up in anticipation of labor troubles. Strangely, however, steel is a com- modity which cannot easily be stocked. Much of the production is fabricated to order. A short strike could tie up the industry more com- Dletely than, for instance, a short coal strike. So while the stocks of raw steel have been increased and the manu- facturers and consumers are protecting themselves as well as they can, there is a definite limit to which they can go. This is an inviting prospect for Mr. Lewis. He can make a short strike hurt. Note—Steel operations averaged about 70 per cent capacity in June, but were down to 67 per cent the early part of July. The closed combine of steel manufacturers raised prices for third-quarter delivery on a number of items of finished steel, and thus promoted business at the end of the second quarter. The rate of produc- tion probably would now be much lower, except that the manufacturers are still making deliveries on second- “Tquarter orders. As soon as this busi- ness is out of the way, however, oper- ations are expected to drop until Fail. * X ¥ % A few foreign offices would like to know what kind of business Japan is playing with the Moslem move- ment from South China to Morocco. Word has reached the offices in London and Paris indicating suspicious activities of the Japanese in encouraging the Moslem movement within the Nippon empire and playing up to the Mohammedan national movement whenever the opportunity presents itself Arrangements, for example, have becn made for a mission from Elazhar University in Cairo to visit Japan early mext year. Elazhar is the theological and intellectual center of the Moslem world. It does not sent missions on sightseeing trips. Apprehensive British and French officials recall that the Kaiser sought to use the lever of Islam to tilt world power. 2% & % Mr. Hitler is not bluffing in his demand for the return of German colonies. London found this out the other day with a shock. The foreign office discovered that Berlin had drawn detailed plans calling for the formation of joint chartered companies through which the German government and German finance would participate in the joint exploitation of certain existing British colonies and mandates. Germany planned to offer the British this exploitation plan as a compromise for immediate return of the colonies to Germany. The idea was that German companies would exploit the colonies, but permit them to remain under British control—for the present. You can imagine what Whitehall thought of that. (Copyright, 1945 ) unless Government competition is re- | moved, then the onlooker is asked to choose between the viewpoint of the men who have been responsible for pay rolls in the past and the men who say Government funds will be pro- ! vided for “useful projects” while the unemployed wait for the stalemate between Government and business to be solved by the voters themselves. | The Republicans, incidentally, in- | sist that there be a “prompt deter- mination of the facts coacerning relief ! and unemployment,” which, of course, means taking a census of the unem- | ployed, something the New Deal has heretofore hesitated to do. The Re- | publicans are advocates of public ‘works “only on their merits and sepa- | zate from the administration of relief.” | ‘Want Unhampered Industry. So it comes down to this point: The Republicans want to see private in-| dustry unhampered in its efforts to | absorb the unemployed and the New | | Dealers waut to use borrowed funds to create employment while waiting for business to grow through means not explained or even hinted at in the platform. When it comes to administration of relief, there is hardly a word in the New Deal platform. But the Repub- | Mcans are outspoken about their plan for handling relief, which is this: “The return of responsibility for | relief administration to non-political local agencies familiar with com- munity problems. “Federal grants-in-aid to the States and Territories while the need exists, | upon compliance with these condi- | tions: { “(a) A fair proportion of the total | relief burden to be provided from the | revenues of States and local govern- ' ments; i “(b) All engaged in relief adminis- tration to be selected on the basis of merit and fitness; | ‘“(c) Adequate provision to be made for the encouragement of those per- sons who are trying to become self- ' supporting.” ! The fheory back of this plank is | that citizens’ committees of a non- partisan character wholly detached | from local governments and local poli- tics be appointed from such organiza- tions as the Community Ches: and the local welfare groups in order that graft and political corruption may be eliminated and local responsibility of , the neighbors emphasized. This, it is assumed, would cut down the number of those who have been ! on releif and who really are not trying | to become self-supporting but prefer | to remain on the dole. As for politics f in relief, this has been inevitable under the present system. The, New Deal has managed to prevent dis-| closures by congressional investiga- | tion, but after the election it may be | taken for granted that in the interest | of s revised rellef system, which the New Deal itself might then welcome, | the truth will be forced out and public | opinjon will demand a change in! method of administering the problem. !

When Sen- WILD DUCKS SUFFER IN DROUGHT SECTION, Food and Water Lacking for Young Fowl, Biological Survey Reports. By the Assoctated Press. The Biological Survey sald today that young wild ducks are suffering from lack of food and water in the drought area, particularly in the Dakotas. Many shallow ponds and sloughs | that were filled with water last Spring | when the ducks returned from the South have been dried up and others have very little water left, reports to the bureau said. “When this occurs, the ducks and their young begin to search elsewhere for food and water,” the bureau ex- plained. “The young, unable to fly, usually perish after leaving the nest- | ing grounds. In case of severe drought the sun also destroys much of the natural cover for ducks.” In view of the serious depletion of wild duck population in the last few years, the Biological Survey is keeping ror BOTH SKIN AND HAIR Your hair can suffer as well as your skin.

Lewis and Freedom of Air Something to Be Said for Democracy Even With Tyrants BY DOROTHY THOMPSON. 'O MORE portentous words have been issued in this country in a decade than were broadeast Monday night over a nation- wide hook-up of the National Broad- casting Co. from the lips of John L. Lewis. They revealed for the larger public a labor leader of titanic dimen- slons. He will be bitterly fought; he will be hated and feared; he will also be adored. Around his person may develop in the next four years the greatest storm which has shak- en our basic in- dustries since their inception. For John L, Lew- is is a fighter who knows precisely ‘what he wants. He brs neither | the plovs reason- | ableness of Wil- | liam Green nor the wavering loy- alties of Matthew Woll. He does not represent the labor bureaucrat whom Leon Trotsky described as the worst of all dictators for the workers. That powerful head, that pugnacious face, reveal a man of brains and will, | who loves and desires power, and who knows, also, what the tactics of power are. He has already revealed himself as ruthless in battle, and keen in strategy. Hardly are the political conventions over than he openly de- clares war. He knows that the mo- ment is profoundly propitious. The President is out on a limb. His words, spoken a few days ago at Pranklin Field, were vague. John L. Lewis now translates them into exact terms. He names the “economic royalists.” He defines industrial democracy. In- dustrial democracy means to John L. Lewis the organizations of the work- ers of all of the basic industries into unions led by John L. Lewis. It S that industries in the future will, if Lewis succeeds, share their control with him, and will make their prices, wages and working conditions in col- laboration with him. Assault Is Strategic. The assault on the steel industry is strategic from the viewpoint of public | opinion. For steel is, indeed, the most | notorious example in this country of | the danger of financial control, of | over-capitalization, of rigidity, and of the price-fixing practices which are the essence of monopoly. And both leading political parties have declared against monopoly. So conservative a magazine as “Fortune,” investigating Dorothy Thompsen ator Borah denounces “private regi- mentation” he could hardly take a better example than the larger steel corporations. Steel is Lewis's safest point of attack. Whether what Lewis wants to ac- complish will in any way mitigate the monopolistic practices which he con- demns is, however, highly question- able. The Lewis policy was perfectly expressed in the Guffey Coal Act, whereby prices and wages were fixed | by the industry and the union in col- laboration, with the State as the ar- biter. It is possible to extend this formula to include the whole of in- | dustry, and it is possible for the in- | dustries to operate under it in indus- | trial peace—as long as the rest of the | — e lieved to be his own suit case, but MISS COCHRAN, AVIATOR, | IS BRIDE OF BROKER |Marriage to Floyd B.

Odlum, presi- dent of the Atlas Corp., an investment trust, has been disclosed by friends of the couple. Mr. and Mrs. Odlum are cruising on the yacht North Star. The wed | might elect as the representative of C, THURSDAY. public is willing to pay the bill. For that is what has always happened when this formula has been put inte effect. It opersted in Germany he- fore Hitler; for many years ndus- trialists and trades unions managed things handsomely hetween them- selves. But one fine day the middle classes—and the unskilled, the peas- ants and the unemployed—got caught between the upper and nether grind- stone of the nicely functioning sys- tem and when they did the mill blew up. Yet John L. Lewis is the per- feetly logical development of, and an- swer to, the form of eapitalism which has developed here, and everywhere, in the last 50 years. He arrives at precisely the moment when the qb- jective historian would expect him. And to arrive at the historically cor- rect moment is almost a definition of a man of destiny. Figures Necd Correcting. Mr. Lewis needs some correction for his figures. There are not 30 millions of workers in this country for whom he can even hope to speak. Out of 48 millions gainfully employed in 1930 only 15 million were engaged in manufacturing, mechanical indus- tries and mining, or less than a thira of the working population. Something over a fifth are farmers; the rest are in trade, public services, free profes- sions and personal and domestic service. It is this other two-thiras that in the end is likely to make the political decisions which are tize eftec- tive ones. There is one highly ironic facet to | Mr. Lewis’ denunciation of the eco- | nomic tyrants who control our world and prevent democracy. Mr. Lewis | issued his call to the workers of | America over a Nation-wide hook-up | on time provided him free. The! N. B. C. is an affiliation of the Radio | Corporation of America. And at| this moment Mr. Lewis is at grips | with this company in a strike which he has called in the Camden plant. The circumstances of that strike do not quite bear out Mr. Lewis’ picture of the workers in relation to corpe- rate industry. In this conflict ana from the outset and before tne | strike began the company offered to | proceed in accordance with the prin- ciples of the Wagner labor act. It offered to respect the decision of a majority of the workers, as expressed in a free and secret ballot, to be taken under the auspices, not of the industry but of the Government, and to recognize whomever the workers all of them for collective bargaining. | Mr. Lewis rejected this offer for ob- vious reasons. Not thus would he win the fight. Has Kept Air Free. The R. C. A. has not called in strike- breakers. it has not called out troops, | nor armed the workers, the majority | of whom have not responded to the | strike summons. But there has been Violence and a great deal of it has | been committed by the “peaceful picketers” whose methods of per- | suasion have been to add the black- jack to the argument. The R. C. A. has not yielded to Mr. Lewis. But | it has also remained true to its policy of keeping the air free for Ppublic discussion. | There is something to be said for this democracy, even with its eco- | homic tyrants. A Correction. A line of type was inadvertently dropped out of Miss Thompson's ar- ticle of Tuesday, July 7. The sen- | | tence referring to the German con-; ference of penologists should have | read: “It (the conference) was| padded with an overwhelming pre- | ponderance of German delegates who | then passed resolutions supporting the existing system of German jus- tice, and the people of Germany were | informed through the tireless prop- aganda machine that Western civil- | ization indorsed their principles.

JULY 9, 1936, This Changing World Danzig Soon Will Be Just Another City in the Reich Under Hitler. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. now before Danzig will once more be just another city Its “independence” under the protecting wing of the League has not been very nappy. Dabaig, once a Prosperous city, was suffering economically, Her protectors considered hei only a step-child. ) ue of Nations, and Poland, which is directly interested in the free city, might go through the motions of protesting against the reunion of that town to Ger- many. But the bets are 100 to 1 that they won't do more than that. They will aceept the accomplished fact like little lambs. ‘What the diplomats are worried about at this moment is whether Hitler will be satisfled with a quiet reunion or whether to add insult to injury, he will order detachments of the Reichswehr to parade through Danzig vud garrison of 0 of G 's Before 1919 was the proud garrison of two of Germany’ crack e’l"lr’ regiments: The first and the second “dead-head” Hussars, of which Fieldmarshal Mackenzen was at one time brigade commander. TRese regiments have disappeared but others might De sent to revive the patriotic memories of the Danzigers. e e ‘The Geneva organization has only one fond hope: That Germany and Poland have made an arrangement regarding the expulsion of the League commissioner and his replacement by a Polish commissioner. In such an eventuality, which appears to insiders here as extremely improbable, the League’s face might be saved—for those who still believe in the existence of the Geneva club. Prance canpot be bothered now wita these international problems, deeply as she is interested in them. She has her own internal troubles. The permission granted the Blum ecabinet by the Chamber and the Senate on June 23 to raise 10,000,000,000 francs by the issue of treasury baby bonds has not helped the treasury much. The money has been ear- marked before the bonds were issued; two billion francs had to cover the deficit, three billions had to be repaid to Great Britain for a short term loan, and five billions are going to be spent on national defense. And the Blum administration has not even touched on its grandiose social reform program. CECIEE Vincent Auriol, who is a shrewd financier, is making desperate _er!on.s to get the $4,200,000,000 which have been hoarded by the Frerch citizens out of the famous woolen stocking. About half that amount has emigrated to Great Britain, the United States, Holland and Switzerland. The other hal? is concealed under mattresses, floors, and in the old family chest in 500 and 1,000-franc notes. Auriol is pleading with the hordes to put the money back in circulation. His colleagues edvise him to take drastic measures.to force the momey out. But it is dificult to convince the French citizens to have confidence in the government they themselves have brought to power on May 3. Auriol advisers urge him to issue an ultimatum’ to the people, warning them that unless they have confidence in the stability of the government they would feel the heavy hand of the constituted authority. Their money might be confiscated and they themselves may land in jail. Such reprizals are not likely to be convincing. People in Prance have been taken out of jail by their fellow citizens more tnan once before. « s e In the meantime the rightists are enjoying the situation. They are skyrocketing prices and expect soon to have food riots which will be at- tributed to the weakness and the lack of competence of the govern- ment. There was big laughter when Blum announced the “drastic” measures he had decided to take against the workers who are mak- ing a sport out of the occupation of factories. Two weeks ago some 800 work- ers in a tobacco factory in Athens decided to follow the example of their French colleagues and occupied the factory.” A detachment of police and gendarmes were sent to the factory and, after balf and hour of con- versation, the workers were forcibly expelled. They went to work the next day This was happening in little Greece. But in France the strong measures the government is adopting aegainst striker’s occupation expedience are: (1) Negotiations conducted by representatives of the uniom, (2) negotiations conducted by a representative of the government, and finally, (3) negotiations conducted by both. And here ends the government’s “strong” policy. Blum, of course, does not dare threaten with the use of his mobile guards who could do the job in a few hours. Any mention of force would turn the Communists against him and they who hold the fate of the cabi- net in their hands. Groom Gets Wrong Case. While a Sydney, Autralia, man was traveling to Singleton by rail to get married and was changing at Broad- meadow, he picked up what he be- prise that it contained $2,500 in cur- case to the station agent.

PARTON, HE encounter of John L. Lewis and William Green wmay be a title bout, the first of its kind in American labor history since the days of the Knights of Labor, | Oddly enough, the fire-eating Lewis is a lifetime Republican, a former | ardent supporter of Herbert Hoover and the foe of left-wing labor leaders, while the conservative, conciliatory Green has always been a Democrat. Lewis is of Weish blood, Green three-fourths Welshs both were in the coal mines in their early youth and both have lambasted the Reds. Lewis’ industrial union not only has accentu- ated their differences, but has caused the first great schism in the national labor movement. Lewis’ drive to or- | ganize the steel workers projects their inteliectual and tactical differences | into immediate and possibly ominous | reality. A few months ago I talked with Wil- liam Green in his Washington office | one day and with John L. Lewis the next. One could understand the: | having been friends and co-workers years and one also could see how op- posed they were in person, outlook and | motivation. I observed that Green, the conciliator, gestured with his own open hand, while Lewis, the fighter, i whammed the palm of his hand with his clenched fist. | In Green's bare and rather shabbily | furnished office at 901 Massachusetts | avenue there was a battered old book- | case with a dozen or two books scat- | tered through the shelves. They were books on military strategy and dry- looking volumes on industrial statis- tics. Like Samuel Gompers and John L. Lewis, too, Green has been a vehe- | ment opponent of the intrusion of “fuzzy” European philosophies in the American labor movement, and one would not expect to find Sydney Webb in his bookcase. I was looking over the books when Mr. Green entered. He looked successful, assured and cautious. He poised his glasses thought- fully between his thumb and forefinger and made reserved or qualified admis- sions about this and that. It seemed to this visitor that he was quite the pre- vailing type of successful industrialist, plus a touch of the platform ardor which one associates with men who engage in public causes. When he became president of the A. F. of L. in 1924 he accepted the Gompers practical working techniques, keeping the federation out of politics, fighting the Bolsheviks, working for wages and hours and keeping out of serious trouble. On the whole, the years of his incumbency have been un- troubled. He is a peace-loving and conciliatory labor leader. John L. Lewis might have been a great Shakespearean actor, and, inci- dentally, it is Shakespeare which has | given him his rounded and resonant diction. A pit boy at 12 in the coal mines of Iowa, he gleaned his own edu- cation. He still wolfs Shakespeare and is a living tribute to the bard. No college professor parades better syntax, or reaches his height of Elizabethan high heroics. He swears in Eliza- bethan fashion, too, but never tells a ! dirty story. (Copyright. 1936.)
