THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, DEMOCRACY HELD SIT-DOWN ANSWER Solution by Compromise Is Seen Under American System. This is the third of a series of articles by Mr. White on the changing industrial scene in the United States. The writer has talk- ed with many leaders of labor and industry in gathering material jor “this series, subsequent articles of which will appear in The Eve- ning Star. BY WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE. The institutions of democratic gov- ernment are facing a crisis in the sit= ~down strike. of labor, but the new weapon is & club on a new battle front. The labor picket on the sidewalk, “using his sidewalk as a forum of free assemblage and his democratic right ‘of free speech to convince the public Zof labor’s right in an industrial con- “troversy, was walking in an ancient path. He was guarded by the bill of rights. But when the picket moved <indoors across the threshold of the Iplant and took over the boss' plant, the capture was something entirely different from peaceful picketing. Behold here an invasion of what “hitherto has been called property rights. The sit-down striker obviously . contends that his right to a job—that is to his right to work and to bargain collectively under a closed shop with the boss—is as much a property right as the boss' fee-simple title to the tools which labor uses.| * Probably, in the end, it will boil down <to a contest not for the worker's in- - dividual property right in his job, but, - Instead, labor's contrac. right—a sort .of class right—to hold a job on good “behavior so long as the boss can keep the plant open profitably. Guarded by Ballot. But here is this new battle line er suddenly formed in the indus- al world. What is democracy going 110 do about it? Labor has the ballot. . With the ballot, at the last election, labor has an idea that it captured the executive and congressional + branches of the Federal Government. Also, take over most of the State legisla- Apparently a considerable ma-= jority of the Governors stand pledged to a labor program which, inferen= tially at least, justifies the sit-down strikers. But literally there is more inference than truth in the fact thai labor won the right to the sit-down stirike. However, there is labor de facto inside of the factory. Possession is nine points of the law in any contest between the boss and the workers. To restore the ancient property rights which are violated by the nine points of possession the legislatures, the Congress, President will have to turn labor back into the street. Laws will have to be passed specifically legalizing the sit-down strike, as laws have legalized picketing. Until then the courts, which have not been captured by labor—neither the lower courts, the intermediate courts nor the Supreme Court of the Nation—will not recog- nize the inferential right which labor claims to the sit-down strike merely because it won the election. Courts Require Force, Labor elected only the President, the Governors, the Congress and the legislatures. So naturally the courts will proceed against the sit-down strikers. They will issue orders to be enforced by the executive depart- ments of the State and finally the executives of the Federal Govern- ment. These court orders will require the use of force to clear the factories and to restore the rights of property as the courts believe these rights now exist on the statute books. That may mean bloodshed. More- over, if the bloodshed is widespread, if feeling runs deeply and runs high, rising out of the use of force neces- sary to deprive the sit-down strikers of their nine points of the law, the riot- ting may become incipient revolution. This incipient revolution is possible only if executives—say the Governor or the President—let the golden hour lag by when negotiations become ob- vious dilly-dallying. When that hour comes labor will be convinced that the Government is afraid. Also the peace-loving merchandising class will begin to dread revolution, and it may be too late to rally public sentiment behind the tremendous weight of Government as a mediator. In that hour, if it comes, Government will have to be force—sheer force, tear gas, clubs, bayonets, possibly machine guns. Ugly Prospect of Force. In that day, when Government is force, and only force, if it comes, how much force can Governmen com- mand? How much force can the men opposing Government summon behind their barricades? Are there enough policemen irr the cities to overcome a mass demonstration of the workers? Are there enough militiamen in the States to sweep the invading sit-down strikers in a general strike from the industrial plants? Are there enough soldiers in the Regular Army to put down & general uprising ¢! American labor if it should grow widely class sonscious and decide to line u sym- pathetically with the various sit-down strikers in the present menacing up- heaval across this country ‘rom New England to the Pacific Coast? These are ugly questions, but serious. They cannot be answered off-hand. But if their sit-down strike tactics are not thwarted soon by Gorernors and the President until these ugly questions are answered or are with- drawn voluntarily by the workers leav- ing their points of vantage, America will be approaching a dangerous crisis. This republic was organized and has been running for 150 years, barring four years of civil war, on the theory of majority rule. Government in America has not used force except potentially. At no time, and certainly not now, have we enough policer en, militiamen and soldiers to e~ force any order of this Government when it is opposed by any considerable, organ- ized, militant minority. Certainly we could not overnight force hundreds of thousands of sit-down strikers out of the industrial plants of this country. What if Workers Arm? ‘What if workers generally outside the plants arm and organize to protect the sit-down -trikers? The executive branch of the Government, State and Federal, was elected at least partly by the sit-down strikers and their worker friends. Suppose the executives, State and Federal, began to realize that, as far as politics goes, and sometimes it goes pretty badly, the executives, in a general, but not specific, way, are pledged to stand by the workers in their demands? Of course, we had no fair count ;. The sit-down strike is | “not only a new weapon in the hands | labor with the ballot seemed to | the Governors and the | koma School. Allegheny street.

Demo- election indorsing in exact terms the sit-down strike. Quite true. But, on the other hand, the whole policy of the New Deal, Federally and in the States, has given color to these de- mands of the more militant leaders of organized labor. John Lewis, the leader of the new group of labor unions, supported P:esident Roosevelt, and helped to elect the Governors of practically every State where sit-down strikes are occurring. Lewis has enough votes under his control to defeat the Demo- crats in the various States at next year's election and to overturn the Democratic majority in the Lower House if the Democratic leaders de- sert him. Lewis Has Club. So, whether or not we had an ac- tual majority indorsing in specific terms the sit-down strike, the politics of the situation, for all practical pur- poses, gives Lewis a carte blanche. That is to say, Lewis has this club | if the President does not take it away | from Lewis in a knock-down-and- drag-out quarrel, a presidential de- mand for ancient property rights. The majority, if it is a majority, of the voters of the country, outside of organized labor, may be shocked at the spectacle of the sit-down strike actually depriving property owners of their established rights. But, unless those who are shocked pass on the shock to the executives, Federal and State, by outcry and protest, and do that mighty quick, the time for pro- test will be gone. Backed by a vociferous public sen- timent, executives, means the President” as well as the various Governors, could summon the righteous indignation of this populace and demand ‘due process of law.” The executives, meaning the Gover- nors and the President, could say to the sit-down strikers: “Wait until you have gone to the legislatures for laws authorizing the sit-down strike before you act. Public May Not Care. But so long as the only vocal militant demonstrations are made by the sit-down strikers and their friends in organized labor, our political executives, which also includes the President, will assume that the public does not care. In 1861, Lincoln ig- nored the order of the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott decision. Possibly democracy today will slip around the courts. The Congress and the legislatures, under the leadership of the various State and Federal executives, might amend the Constitution, might abro- gate ancient property rights and might establish in custom, if not by law, the industrial tenets of the New Deal. But this whole revolutionary hy- pothesis is shrill and falsetto, even theoretical speculation. America is still America, unless some subter- ranean fault hides the coming earth- quake. Lewis’ fight with the industrial leaders in motors, oil, coal, textiles and steel is no unique combat in American history. Old Sam Gompers conducted a fabian advance for 40 years. Eugene Debs, in 1894, stirred up a big row, but nothing much hap- pened after the fireworks, except that Debs had to go to jail. Ten years before Debs, Martin Irons and the Knights of Labor stood where Lewis stands today with his vertical union. Martin Irons, Debs and Gompers pushed the workers a little ahead in every contest. If Lewis seems revolutionary—and he is in his demanas—it is only be- cause he is going forward {rom labor's last stand. But the democratic sp.rs still is the dominant ideal in Ameri- can life, and, in the end, whatever temporary upset we may be facing, the final solution will be & democratic solution, an answer involving give and take—the good old democratic compromise that is the beginning of political wisdom and the cement of our American civilization.

The present war scare in Europe, she said, is not overrated in this country. When she was in England last October she recalled she heard little talk of war among “the men on the street. When she left England this month, however, after spending several months on the continent, war had become the No. 1 topic of con- | versation.

I believe their fright is increased because they know they will have but little say in the matter if a few men very high up decide there shall be war.” Throughout Europe, she said, this country is respected “almost reverent- ly” for its stand against war. “I believe,” she concluded, “that the United States can do more to avert war than any country in the world.” { PRESENT.CONCERT Pro-Musica Quartet Sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. Bliss.

BY the Associated Press. SUTTON, W. Va., March 30.—Wil- liam B. Read asked Judge Jake Fisher yesterday to postpone his trial for the torch slaying of W. Earle Dollman so that counsel could contact witnesses who “will testify I was in Richmond, Va.” Under questioning by Judge Fisher, however, Read said he could not give the names of his witnesses, but sup- plied the address of a Richmond rooming house in which he said he spent last Thanksgiving, the day of the killing. ‘That morning passers-by found the body of the 34-year-old Charleston salesman in his burning automobile. He had been en route home for the holiday. Will Rule on Motion. J. Blackburn Watts, Kanawha County prosecutor who {is assisting Prosecutor Charles Duffield, offered to Defense Counsel E. G. Pierson an af- fidavit which he said was taken from Richmond residents. The deposition, Watts said, was used in Read's con- viction on charges of robbing O. P. Wilson at Charleston. Judge Fisher said he would rule on the motion to continue today after defense attorneys reported if the wit- nesses could attend. The calling of Read’s case took & crowded court room by surprise. Lawrence Gingell, 21-year-old former Kensington, Md., caddy, who, with ‘War Joseph Kirby and Read, is under joint and separate indictment for the Dollman slaying, was the first de- fendant called. The three pleaded innocent and selection of Gingell’s jury started. Asks for Counsel. Then Read asked for counsel, services of which he previously had declined. Pierson and G. B. Armstrong were named. Both Watts and Duffield op- posed Read’s move for continuance. They said the State had gone “to great expense” to prepare its case and | said that Alvin Parker, captured with the youth at Ruston, La., had been brought from that jail to testify for the State. Duffield declared that Read was given an opportunity to list his wit- nesses at his hearing two weeks ago. On the stand, Read turned to the judge and said: “The State police have got confes- sions of Gingell and Kirby which say that I—" Judge Fisher cut him off.

GOVERNMENT HEADQUARTERS, Andujar, Spain, March 30 (#).— Government forces smashed by land and air today at insurgent troops | Almaden quicksilver mining region of Ciudad Real Province. ‘While one column was occupied in bitter fighting at Alcaracejos, about | 30 miles north of Cordoba, on the | southern front, another force was | ready to strike toward insurgents at | Villaharta on the Cordoba-Alcaracejos highway. This would cut the line of com- munications between the insurgent base, Cordoba, and the outpost, Al- caracejos. Thirty insurgent trucks were caught by a bomb squadron on that roadway near Espiel, about 27 miles northeast of Cordoba, and the airmen reported they destroyed half of the machines. They said they saw the motor train units burst into flames. ‘The Febus (official Spanish) News Agency reported government planes continued bomb onslaughts against | Montoro and Villa del Rio, east of | Cordoba. The Valencia government’s south- ern army, which insurgents said had been reinforced by units from the In- ternational Brigade, launched a series of attacks in the Pozoblanco sector, 30 miles north of Cordoba. At Madrid, it was announced the government attained “distinctly im- proved” positions on three fronts, despite stubborn resistance. The three bases are Cordoba, Avila, west of Madrid, and Siguenza, on the northeast. At Guadalajara, Gen. Jose Miaja's “milicianos” who started hammering back Gen. Francisco Franco's north- eastern salient two weeks ago, stormed a strategic hill on a bank of the Henares River and captured it under “some resistance.” The hill dominates a road to Cogol- ludo, one of the major towns controlled by Franco from a base 25 miles north- west at Siguenza. Cogolludo is 45 miles on a straight line northeast of Madrid. Miralrio, five miles south- east of Cogolludo, also fell to the government onslaught. At Avila Madrid’s defenders were reported to have failed in an attempt to drive back their insurgent beslegers with short, violent attacks on Aravaca and Partridge Hill, just northwest of the capital.

The Catholic Association for Inter- national Peace, warned that the world is doomed to war unless its peoples are reawakened to an active regard for democratic and religious values, con- tinued today the round table discus- sions it hopes will bring to light means of thwarting calamity. The eleventh.annual conference of the association, which was founded after the Chicago Eucharist Congress of 1926, comes to an end at the May- flower this afternoon, to be followed tomorrow by a one-day meeting of the Student Peace Federation of the Catholic Association for International Peace. Known System Held Worthless. Senator O’Msahoney, Democrat, of Wyoming, and Dr. Charles Fenwick, president of the organization and an authority on international law from Bryn Mawr College, Bryn Mawr, Pa., told the association last night that modern expedients adopted to fore- stall war have proved themselves worthless. O'Mahoney, the first speaker at a banquet meeting, decried an anti-war philosophy which is based on fear and asked instead that peace be sum- moned by the adoption of a spirit of faith and tolerance. Fenwick, who condemned America’s isolationist policy as reflected in neutrality legis- lation, urged the applications of the principles of our Constitution to the world at large as a way to guarantee peace. Certain Wars Defended. ‘The Senator, however, split with the educator by suggesting that war is justifiable when fought to protect “those ideals which man deems neces- sary to his physical and moral in- tegrity,” before he said: “The task of the peacemaker is to develop such an order in society and among the nations as to isolate in such form that they can be recognized | by all mankind for what they are, the leaders of the states which are willing to resort to arms for unjustifiable ends. “Peace will be achieved among na- | tions as among men when we shall | have recreated a spiritual integrity | among all nations and among all men. | This is an objective to which Catholics can with special energy and conviction | devote themselves. So, too, can | Americans, for the democratic ideal is | the foundation of both the Catholic religion and the American Republic.” Maj.

In the absence of his father, who is in Florida, Wilson appeared alone_ before Magistrate Norman H. Angell of Towson on three charges of driv- | ing sans license, tags and lights. Magistrate Angell, in view of Wilson's $12 expense, fined him only on the first charge—$10 and costs. Even that penalty was suspended, however, when Wilson confessed pur- chase of the machine, bargain that it was, had left him broke.

Creation of rigid and competent in- spection bureaus, possibly as a part of fire departments, to inspect all publlc buildings in cities and sizable towns | throughout the country was recom- mended last night by Dr. George S. Rice, chief mining engineer of the Bureau of Mines, Interior Department, in a lecture at the Cosmos Club. The recent New London (Tex.) School disaster was cited by Dr. Rice as one reason for establishment of such an inspection service. He pointed | also to the explosion some years ago | at the Capitol Building in Columbus, Ohio, as another reason. The ex- plosion from a gas leakage in the latter case cost some several hundred thousand dollars, he said. Apparently some one was very care- less in inspection work, he said, refer- ring to the New London explosion | which cost the lives of hundreds of school children. A rigid inspection service might very easily have pre- | vented the tragedy, he added. The cost of a competent service of this kind would be a sn\lng‘ Dr. Rice as- serted. Dr. David J. Price of the Bureau of Chemistry and Soil, Agriculture De- | partment, who yesterday returned from investigation of the school disaster, | sald the school had been saving sev- | eral hundred dollars a year by \umg natural gas that otherwise would have been wasted. Ignition was caused by sparks from a sanding machine in the institution’s manual training shop, Dr. Price reported. Other churches and buildings of the city (New London) also use this waste natural gas, Dr. Price added. He said the construction of the buildings had a large part to do with any possible explosions. Dr. Rice illustrated with moving pictures and slides the work being carried on by his division in studying and preventing explosions in coal mines. LIFE TERM IMPOSED OKLAHOMA CITY, March 30 ().
