NIGHT EDITOR: TUURE TENANDER General Motors Vs. Organized Labor. . . T HAS BECOME increasingly ap- parent that a general strike in the nation's basic industries is imminent if a settlement of the strike in General Motors Cor- poration is not soon achieved. Organized automobile, mine and steel workers are blood brothers in the Committee for Indus- trial Organization. Key body plants of the Gen- eral Motors Corporation are now shut down, meaning that the rest of its plants cannot oper- ate for more than a few days, meaning also that this stoppage of production will reverberate through coal, iron and steel companies. Anxious to prove the adage, "united we stand," and threatened with lay-offs anyway, workers in these industries may be expected to follow the lead of the United Automobile Workers in a bitter fight for extension of collective bargaining rights. "If a settlement is not achieved . . . " What is preventing this? What is the struggle about? In our opinion it is a contest for power, founded on a belief sincerely held by a "sufficient" num- ber of workers that their interests are basically divergent from those of their employers, that their interests have been neglected in certain ways, and consequently that they must increase their power to further their interests. Contrasted with this is the equally sincere belief of ,mploycrs that their interests are or should be congruent with those of their em- ployees, that they have been doing everything possible for their employees in the way of wages, hours and working conditions, and consequently that the union demands represent the self-ag- grandizing, irresponsible and power-greedy de- sires of labor-leaders. We consider these beliefs "sincere" in spite of "trouble-makers" and generally disreputable characters observed to be associated with the union, and in spite of known instances of short- sightedness and petty tyranny among foremen and higher supervisory officials. These cases of irresponsibility and faulty lead- ership are, we feel, characteristic of the condition of political immaturity in which unions will re- main until they have the responsibilty that will follow upon full recognition by employers. To expect immediate maturity from a group for so long inarticulate and oppressed is not reason- able. Focus the union beliefs upon an actual situa- tion. Stay-in strikers interviewed Tuesday at the Fisher Body plants in Flint appeared in a gay mood, totally unconcerned about the tremendous lnes piling um each additional minute the pnlants leaders, is the crux of the matter, which must be, met before an abiding. settlement of the auto labor strike can be reached. Specifically, no such balance is obtained un- less a collective bargaining agreement is ar- ranged for the whole of General Motors Corpora- tion. Suppose the alternative-local plant bar- gaining. Suppose also that one plant manager grants a union contract, another refuses t negotiate. Workers strike in the latter plant, the manager shuts it down and shifts his produc- tion to the other plant. Either the strikers must submit, or the workers in the other plant must break their contract and strike in sympathy, Thus no real collective bargaining can be achieved on a local basis, except through the good graces of the plant managers, which situation does not represent the 'balance of power' that underlies the workers' feelings of satisfaction, security and independence. If this analysis be true, it appears that officials of the General Motors Corporation, who profess a belief in collective bargaining, are unwilling to grant their employees anything approaching a "balance" of power. It has been true in the history of labor rela- tions in many industries that when workers desire collective bargaining, unbalanced power, favoring one side or the other, does not conduce to peaceful or cooperative relations. The record of the United Mine Workers includes excellent examples of the tendency toward decreased effi- ciency and increased operative difficulties in plants wherein the union "holds the upper hand." and toward excess profits at the expense of workers in plants wherein the employer "holds the upper hand." It is our conclusion, therefore, that General - Motors faces two alternatives: 1. Continued opposition in fact to unionism, risking a disastrous nation-wide general strike and hoping to "outlast" the strikers. 2. Compromise with the United Automobile Workers, granting a national agreement involv- ing, not a closed shop, but certain limiting standards respecting working conditions (hours, wages, hiring and firing policies, speed of pro- duction) and the recognition of the U.A.W. as the sole bargaining agent of their industry, in ac- cordance with the principle of the Wagner Labor Relations Act. Such a general agreement would tend to insure a "balance of power" between workers and employers in separate plants. The Faith Menaced -Catholics Fear Nazis In Spain- (From The New York Post) THE UNITED PRESS correspondent at Hen- daye, on the Franco-Spanish frontier, sent a cable a few days ago on the condition of the rebel armies in Spain. We should like to call the attention of our readers to one -part of that cable : "Uncensored reports told of discord between the Catholic Carlists in the armies of Gen. Fran- cisco Franco, insurgent leader, and recently im- ported Geman volunteers. These reports blame the difficulties on anti-Catholic policies of the German government which the Carlists say fa- vor Neo-Paganism. The Carlists, who are stanch Catholics, are said to reflect the views of the higher Spanish clergy. "It was learned from sources usually reliable that the Carlist representative at Burgos, insur- gent capital, recently told Gen. Franco that the Carlists would never permit a German hegemony in Spain." Justifiable Apprehension WHY ARE THE CARLISTS, who are devout Catholics and upholders of the church, fear- ful of "a German hegemony in Spain"? They are fearful of Nazi control because the Hitler regime in Germany has bent its efforts steadily to the undermining of both the Catholic and Protestant churches in the Reich and the subsidization of German Paganism as the official Nazi religion. The anti-Catholic actions of the Nazi Govern- ment are too well known to merit lengthy repe- tition: the murder of the heads of the Catholic Action Society and the Catholic Youth organiza- tion in the Hitler "purge" of June 30, 1934; the widespread arrests of Catholics monks and nuns in 1935 on charges of "smuggling currency out of the country''; the seizure of 150 Catholic Youth leaders in February on trumped-up charges of "conspiring with Communists": the intimidation of Catholic parents in Bavaria by Storm Troopers last spring to force them to take their children out of Catholic schools. A Genuine Attack BUT ARE SPANISH CATHOLICS, in imputing Neo-Pagan purposes to the Nazis, confus- ing anti-Catholicism with Neo-Paganism? The Catholic position in this respect is fully support- ed in Protestant circles and by recent dispatches from the Reich. On Dec. 19, the New York Herald Tribune's Berlin office sent a dispatch, "Christmas Con- tinues in Reich Despite Frowns of Nazi Chiefs. German People Still Regard It As a Religious Festival Although Party Seeks to Stress Pagan Origin." What do they propose to substitute for Christ- mas? The pagan festival of the winter solstice, which fell on Dec. 21. On Dec. 12, a cable from Berlin declared that all Storm Troopers, National Socialist employes "and all workers' cells organized in all business establishments and factories must take part in the winter sol- stice ceremonies." On Dec. 11, Albion Ross, Berlin correspondent of the New York Times, reported that "anti- Christian propaganda" and fear of Nazi disap- proval were leading many Germans to abandon their church membershins* BENEATH **** ***. IT ALL N By Bonth William---gi PREDICTING THE FUTURE is often about as hazardous a business as telling the truth. The foreshadowing of events to come, a popular sport since the beginning of time, has continued down to the Literary Digest boll-generally with indifferent results. I propose to anticipate not what will happen during the college year 1937, but rather what will not. ANN ARBOR, Jan. 18.-The Board in Control of Athletics met here this afternoon in an unexpected and special session and announced immediately afterwards that Gus Dorais of the University of Detroit had been appointed to the post of head coach.- Reached at his home later in the evening, Ath- letic Director Fielding H. Yost commented, "Any man who played football at Notre Dame is good enough for us." ANN ARBOR, Feb. 22.-The University de- clared an official 48-hour holiday today to celebrate the birth of the Nation's immortal founder. The student body marched en masse to the bank of the Huron River where under the able direction of Herb Wolfe, newly-appoint- ed doorman of the Michigan Union, they prac- ticed diligently for two hours in an attempt to hurl a bushel of Confederate dollars to the oppo- site bank. "I was against it from the first," Wolfe told newspapermen. ANN ARBOR. March 9.--Petitions demanding more proctors to patrol the halls of Mosher Jordan dormitory and to prevent the continual gossiping of girls from room to room after 7 p.m. was presented to University authorities in an effort to better study conditions in the largest women's dormitory on the campus last night. The petitions were signed by all but three resi- dents of the institute, and demanded, among other things," the same attitude of paternalism on the part of the University towards women that the male students have fought for and but recently obtained. ANN ARBOR, April 12.-The weather man had another cheery word for students who have been fearful of the early arrival of spring. Walt Woodward, who has been recently appointed to the position, announced to the campus yesterday that the same warm, dry weather which has pre- vailed since early in January might be expected to continue for at least another month with little precipitation in prospect and a probable average temperature of 63. ANN ARBOR, April 17.-Walt Woodward, Ann Arbor weather expert, today sold his fur coat, which has been a University landmar for some time. Woodward expressed the view that there was about as much use for a fur coat in Ann Arbor as for a pair of rubbers. ANN ARBOR, June 3.-Al Dewey, president of the senior class, charged the graduates to "conduct themselves as befits gentlemen" when they take part in the annual Swingout tomorrow afternoon. I will personally see to it that every man is in step," Dewey added, as he left for a' downtown chocolate soda. "Some of the fellows who appeared to have no respect for Michigan tradition, dressed up in fra- ternity robes and marched with the seniors last year. That was despicable and I can say with surety that the same fellows will not try the same trick again." A A, * NEW YORK, June 27.-Bonth Williams, col- umnist for The Michigan Daily, student paper of the University of Michigan, was signed to a 10-year contract by the New York Times here today at a salary estimated at $10,000 per year. Williams, who gained great success with his column Beneath It All on the University campus, will write a similar column for the Times. It is rumored that it is only the first step in the plans of the Times to elevate Williams to the place in American journalism vacated by the death of Arthur Brisbane. ANN ARBOR, July 5.-The Ann Arbor Land- ladies Association today gave $10,000 to the University Dormitory committee in a generous gesture to supply incoming Michigan freshmen with better and more comfortable living quar- ters. "All we are interested in," the spokesman, Mrs. Gertrude J. Gexwup, said, "is seeing that condi- tions at Michigan are improved. Money is a minor consideration with us," Mrs. Gexwup em- phasized. PORT HURON, Aug. 15.--W. Grafton Sharpe and Fred George, graduates of the Law School of the University of Michigan, announced today their purchase of a beerless beer garden. The two local bcys who have roomed together through 8 years at Michigan, confided that they had never intended to practice law at all, but had sought higher education that they might better fit themselves to carry out their life am- bition-the establishment of a chain of beerless beer gardens in every college town in America. "We are already contemplating a deal to take over the Pretzel Bell in Ann Arbor and in all probability will be joined in our enterprize to de-beer that odious vice den by Pete Bodor and Chuck Kennedy," George said. A NN ARBOR Sept. 19.-Official announcement i ART DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN Publication in the Bulletin is constructive notice to anll members of the University. Copy received at the offie at the Asistant to thaPresid until 3:30; 11:00 a.m. on Saturday.- Family Night By HARRY BETHKE ANN ARBOR patrons have un- doubtedly found the exhibit which opened Monday in Alumni7 Memorial ,Hall one of unique local interest. It is the first exhibit with- in the memory of recent years that featured the work entirely of the members of a local family. The show is comprised chiefly of watercolors, together with several oils and a few drawings, all done by Prof. and Mrs. Myron Chapin and their two chil- dren, Miriam and Barbara. Most ofi the paintings were done on a recent trip to Mexico. Just what the two children are do- ing in the show is rather difficult to say, unless it is to provide a certain curiosity or to keep the family roll- call inviolate. No prodigies, they paint no better and no worse than any other children. (Undoubtedly a point in their favor). The work of Mr. and Mrs. Clapin is quite colorful, much in the tradi- tion of Americans painting Mexico. To those of us who think of Mexico as something more than the conven- tionally sleepy siesta-land, they are somewhat disappointing. Pictures- que the pictures certainly are, but there is no hint of the social unrest that has impregnated that southern land for the past decade. Mr. Chap- lin confined himself entirely to land-1 scapes, and they are on the whole more careful and disciplined than those of his wife. They certainly benefit from the care and restraint, but one wishes he would stop trying to paint like Cezanne. Perhaps this last is an injustice, for it is evident that some of the paintings are large-1 ly experimental in nature. Best of the landspace is the "Don Quixote Fountain." By contrast with her husband, Mrs. Chapin evidences some personal in- terest in her series of human char- acter studies, which are unquestion- ably the best of her work. Unfor- tunately, she seems to confuse a slap-I dash technique with spontaneity, for only one of the studies succeeds in any measure. Catalogued as No. 39, it bears the simple title, "Mexican Type," a portrait of an old woman covered with a blue shawl; it really is an excellent painting, not merely, a type as the title would suggest, but a character. Among her landscapes, two stand out as especially interest- ing. The first, "Orizaba in the Val- ley," although rather marred by, some carelessness in the washes, is1 quite impressive. The second, "Mex- ico City Modern," is more careful of1 necessity, because of the hard lines of, the architecture, and somehow there is a charm in the contrast between the geometric modern forms and the picturesque surroundings. As for the work of the two children, local dowagers will doubtless think it is "cute." Perhaps it is; I don't know. But we have been a little over- .taxed with the profusion of cuteness in Ann Arbor exhibits, and it is time we require other standards. If every kid could secure gallery space simply because daddy is an artist, the worldt would be an even more peculiar placec than it is. It must be admitted, however that it is a fine thing for children to paint, providing we don't1 all have to look at the results. t Jane H.

A student in decorative design, Miss Higbie was a member of the four- man University team which took first place in a creative arts contest spon- sored by the Association of Alumni of the American Academy of Rome in 1935. Her work in sculptoring was entered in the contest. Prof. Hubert A. Fowler of the dec- orative design department said she was "a very competent and conscien- tious student of great promise. I am very sorry to hear of such a promis- ing career being ended." "I have been teaching 31 years," Professor Higbie said "and I hav,e never seen anyone as interested in the prime purpose of college as Jane. She went to the finest lectures and all the concerts.
