T HURSDAY the Committee on Indus- trial Organization became officially tlle Congress of Industrial Organizations. The change was not only in name. It meant that the 0IO had outgrown its position as a temporary committee to become a permanent organization of industrial unions. It meant, in addition, several other things. (1) That the principle of Industrial Union- ism would not be comprised for unity of the labor movement. (2) That the AFL would have to meet the CIO as an equal, aid that unity would have to be more in the nature of a merger than of a prodigal's return. (3) That the CIO would henceforth be, if it had not been in the past, a democratic body, whose chief, John L. Lewis, was its duly elected president responsible to an Eexcutive Board truly representative of the rank-and-file of the organization. The move definitely has frozen the split in labor's ranks temporarily, but we do not think it will perpetuate that split. Movements in both the CIO aid the AFL have become increasingly more forceful in their demand for labor unity, and third parties have extended themselves in attempts to bring the two factions in agreenent, attempts which as they are repeated must have ultimately strong effects. Truculent William Green, president of the .AFL has become milder and milder in his vitu- peration of the CIO, and this isn't, so far as we can see, a self-initiated broadening of his view- point so much as a concession to those of the AFL who like Tobin, head of the Teamsters' union, arebent on reconciliation with Lewis and his group. Despite his tirade against the financial report of the CIO this last week, Green has of late been more than moderate in tone about the possibilities of labor peace, though he and pre- simably everybody else knew that the CIO was! going to take this latest step. The CIO counterpart of the Tobin group in the AFL was until a week ago the International Ladies Garment Workers Union which has al- ways maintained that the CIO was only a tem- porary body with a destiny to fulfill, namely the organization of industry on the basis of indus- trial unionism. That duty accomplished, the ILGWU felt, and rightly so, that the AFL and CO, should join forces in a solidified and united group whose very strength would discourage re- action. Since the breakdown last December of the joint peace conference comprising representa- tives from both factions, the ILGWU has worked unceasingly for unity, even criticizing the CIO for the failure of the peace negotiations. We do not know the inner story, if there is any, for the basis to this charge, but on the surface at least, Dubinsky's criticism seems much too severe. The breakdown in December hinged mainly on the question of whether the AFL should take in the whole membership of the CIO first and then work out the jurisdictional problems involved i4 the twenty dual unions or whether, as the AFt wished, the jurisdictional problems should be worked out first and the membership of the CT then taken in. The question is important, for it refracts the is keeping the CIO and AFL from perfect har- mony are a 'few details of administration, and consequently theydhave directed their appeals recently in a strictly impartial manner to both sides to reconcile their differences. They seem oblivious to the fact that the one fundamental basis for reconciliation is the recognition of the principle of industrial unionism by the AFL. Never once has the AFL come out explicitly and said that it accepted this principle. The nearest the AFL has ever come to such acdept- ance was at the conference last year when it said it would agree to the recognition of special indus- tries? So far as we have been able to see they were never mentioned. Under the plan of the AFL, the twelve unions which left the AFL in 1935 to form the CIO would have been taken back by the AFL with open arms. But the industrial unions acting as the CIO would have been excluded until jurisdictional conflicts between these new unions and old AFL unions could have been resolved. From this last fact, it is probably safe to say that the AFL would have restricted the principle of indus- trial organization to the twelve unions which seceded originally. These unions were for the most part built on vertical lines, in the first place, even when they were in the AFL, so it seems justified to say that the AFL would have lost nothing by this act. That was why the AFL refused to take in the total membership of the CIO until jurisdictional problems had been worked out. That the new industrial unions, twenty in number, which had been organized by the piotestant original twelve would have been abolished or at least so weak- ened that their actiVity would be nullified is fairly certain. Consequently the jurisdictional problems of twenty dual unions could never have been worked out, unless the AFL unqualifiedly accepteid industrial unionism. And this the AFL never did. Seen against such a context, Dubinsky's with- drawal of his powerful union becomes more and more inexplicable. Intelligent and thoroughly devoted to the cause of industrial unionism, he would never have taken such a step unless he felt that it would help effect unity in the labor movement. But how it is to do this is beyond us. Withdrawal movements, if any, should have come in the AFL, not in the ranks of the CIO. Until some such pressure is put on the leader- ship of the AFL to compel it to accept the in- dustrial unions, there will never be peace with- in labor's ranks. -Albert Mayio IM MUSIC Schubert's Sonata Schubert was, as everyone knows, pre-eminent- ly a composer of songs. In regard to beauty and originality as well as number it is the Lieder which claim the place of first importance in the catalog of his works. Yet that catalog, it shold not be forgotten, includes much more than the six-hundred-odd songs. It also comprises operas, masses, symphonies, overtures, dances, chamber music of all sorts, and piano works-representa- tives of practically every field of composition open to a composer in Schubert's day, and all by a young man whose work death ended when he was but thirty-one. True, the majority of all but Schubert's very, latest works in fields other than that of song show the effect of two strong influences which exclude them from a supreme position in music literature. One of these influences was tendency towards imitation of Haydn, Mozart, Rossini, and other earlier masters. The other influence was that of the composer's own passionately lyrical nature, which overflowed his songs and affectedhis works in every field that he took up. Yet it is significant that in the works composed just before his death-particularly the C major Symphony, the Mass in E flat, the C majo- String Quartet, and the three posthumous piano sonatas-there are signs that seem to indicate that Schubert was entering upon a new and a more mature, period of composition. And the ex- tremely youthful, sunny, "feninine" character of the early Schubert begins to be replaced by a more Beethovenish masculinity. Truly, had Schu- bert lived to fill out his allotted four score and ten, we might be writing, today that the prepond- erantly lyrical period of his youth was but a glorious prelude to even greater things to come. And in the particular composition which Mr. Iturbi is to play tonight, the A major Sonata, Op. 120, there are certainly no especial promises of future- greatness in the realm of the piano sonata. The Op. 120 was composed in 1825, three years before Schubert's death, and is highly typical of his earlier, more customary style of piano composition. The work is in three short movements, aAllegro Moderato, Andante, and Allegro, all of which are laid out generally ac- cording to the traditional sonata plan, but with the little irregularities which resulted from Schu- bert's eternal efforts at packing his lyrical ideas into an instrumental mold. The placid Andante, for instance, is developed melodically out of a single phrase, flavored here and there with Schu- bert's harmonic delicacies. The first movement, too, consists almost wholly of melody and ac- companiment. In the finale the treatment is a little more vigorous and definitely pianistic, with more of the scales and keyboard figures from which Schubert's own stubby and none too agile fingers often shied him away. But for the most part it is Schubert the melodist and harmonist that claims our attention, and that atones for the formalist's lack of breadth and sophistica- --W. J. L.

Nov. 21-More the business world just now than the identity of the new Attorney General is the question of how far he may approve or disapprove of what has been done previously by the Department of Justice. One program of importance is what has be- come known as the "consent decree" method, whereby the Department secures criminal indict- ments against business men and then, before there is any trial, permits so-called "voluntary" plans to be submitted whereby the criminal in- dictments are quashed in return for agreements on the part of business men to refrain from do- ing perfectly lawful things which the Department considers not to be "in the public interest." The tendency to take in more territory than is covered by any law and to usurp the functions of Congress is illustrated in the statement used by the Department of Justice immediately after the consent decrees were filed at South Bend in the auto finance cases. This press release under- took to discuss the future of advertising in a way which was not at all covered in the consent de- cree itself. Now the Department of Justice has issued a letter which, on its face, is a denial of any pur- pose to restrict advertising, but a careful reading of the document will disclose that there is no withdrawal of the pronouncement made in the press release at South Bend, on Nov. 7. The matter was revived by a trade magazine known as "Advertising and Selling," which sought by letter to get a clarification of Assistant Attorney General Arnold's press release. In reply, Mr. Arnold said in part: "The anti-trust laws do not vest in the De- partment of Justice any general jurisdiction over advertising. Nor has the Department any inten- tion by any means to seek to regulate advertis- ing." But in the original statement the Department conceded that the anti-trust laws didn't cover advertising. Nor was anything said then either about "seeking to regulate" advertising as such, What the original statement did sy had refer- ence to the use of the capital resources of a company for selling purposes, including adver- tising. Here was the exact language in the Nov. 7 press release: "Monopoly is fostered when advertising is used to put competitors at a disadvantage for the sole reason that they do not have resources sufficient to expend equally large sums in advertising par- ticular products or the services of particular companies." 'Consent Decrees' The so-called "consent decree" obtained from the auto companies coincident with the threat of pressing criminal indictments does not seek to regulate the amounts of money that may be spent for advertising at all, but merely insists that the auto manufacturers, in recommending finance plans, shall advertise any or all plans that meet a certain specified code. This is a far cry from preventing the Ford and Chrysler Companies from using their resources to adver- tise their own products as against competitors, and the Department's statement was interpolat- ing a good deal when it said publicly that the consent decrees at South Bend would be "future precedents." The Department of Justice is seeking criminal indictments in many different fields of business. It has a large group of indictments pending now against executives in the oil business and in the milk business, and Mr. Arnold specifically mentioned both those industries in his Nov. 7 press release decrying the use of advertising money by large companies as against smaller competitors. When the new "consent decrees" are offered, therefore, as a means of settlement, they may .conceivably include restrictions on advertis- ing. But presumably this wouldn't be the De- partment of Justice doing the restricting at all. It would be a "voluntary" act on the part of those seeking to escape criminal trials and pos- sible prosecution on technicalities. Volluntary' Conferetncei To understand how "voluntary" all this is, one . has 'to note that conferences were held almost daily between those under indictment in the Auto Finance Cases and the Department of Justice officials. Likewise, the Department regu- larly consulted the complainants-the small fin- ance companies. When the negotiation was con- cluded, the Department announced proudly that it had done much for the small finance com- panies andi added this formal word: "The independent finance companies who are not parties to this suit are not bound by these advertising provisions of the decrees. They may have all of the advantages without incurring any of the burdens. No restriction is imposed on their own advertising." And this is done by a Department of Justice which knows that in the making of laws, at least, there can be no discrimination under our constitution but there must be equal protection to all citizens. Unfortunately, the Constitution doesn't touch arbitrary acts of a Department of Justice which encourages citizens to offer "vol- untary" plans while holding the threat of crimi- nal prosecution over their heads. There is only one way to reach abuses of this kind and that is by an act of Congress forbidding the Department of Justice from ,using any of its funds for the negotiation of "consent decrees" obtained in con- nection with criminal indictments. If the anti-Trust Laws are inadequate, a com- mittee of Congress is investigating what should be done about it, but meanwhile the Department of Justice is, in effect. legislating whaf business can or cannot do, 0'id ne-olOati "consent td- r rce~'ti t lisit.

Satur- day night, encamped on the doorstep of the Deshler-Wallick and Neil House, and in something resembling a Barnum and Bailey circus and a Bacchanalian wassail, maintained ar complete and alarming disequilibrium for a night that seemingly never end- ed. In other words, they raised hell -as well as the roof. It was Ohio State's homecoming, and many al- umni were back to re-capture their youth. When Michigan's insatiable1 revelers took over, the Buckeye hordel was lucky to escape with its sanity. Contrary to a prevailing misappre- hension, Michigan's contingent didl not swim en masse up High Street in1 a river of Scotch. They started, but couldn't get past the, first bend-a burly cop swaying like a reed in the breeze. From the man who called himself "Big Ed from Fostoria" and complained that he wasn't going tor pay taxes for the maintenance of lights in the press box to the Michi- gan misfit who didn't want to go' up or down in the Deshler elevator but insisted on going "sideways," downtown Columbus was drunk, lit- erally and figuratively. And brave, too. One of them pushed his way through a swanky mob in the Desh- ler ballroom, wrested the mike awayI from some livid-faced emcee and asked, as Stentor would: "Scnidtty, where are you going to coach next year?" Francis Schmidt, Ohio State'st coach, sat unmoved by the query; in fact, Schmidtty had apparently reached thestage where it would have been an effort for him to ascer- tain where he was coaching next year.
