The Union Shop
And Hitler .
T HAS HAPPENED. Something
has happened for which we have
been waiting a long time-Philip Murray, CIO
President, issued his first definite, complete en'-
dorsement of the Roosevelt foreign policy.
In his report to the annual CIO convention
Murray declared, "It is clear to labor that a sin-
gle task looms' ahead-the defeat of this menace
to humanity. Hitlerism must be defeated and
destroyed. Democracy can survive in no other
way." .
Such a statement is not just a victory for the
Roosevelt Administration. Nor is it a mere vic-
tory for the interventionists. Much more than
either of these, it constitutes one of the
greatest victories in recent times for the labor
movement, itself, and for the democratic way
of life.
Murray has shown that he' realizes this war is
different from the last. He is beginning to see
what Ernest Bevin and British labor saw long
ago-that this is primarily a Workingman's bat-
tie. He is beginning to see that if Hitler is al
lowed to win, the common laborer will lose more
than any other single class of society. \And so,
his words would indicate that he is determined
this war can be, must be a struggle to the death
between Hitler and the free labor movement.
In England labor ha already so entrenched
itself in the battle against Germany that once
the war is won it can and will demand a more
liberal, more progressive democracy than it ever
dared hope for. And what is more, the demands
will be granted or there will be another war-a
war within England itself. For the common
people have fought and bled and died with
promises of a better world ringing in their ears.
They will not be denied.
Labor Minister Ernest Bevin phrased it thus:
"It is better to leave the masses untaught than
to give them a double appetite, both of stomach
and of head, and then not to satisfy either.
Things can never be as they were. The old age
has passed. A new age has to be built. We will
never tolerate again masses of unemployment
or poverty. We will not recognize privilege or
place. A juster scheme of things is our main
aim."
But people are saying that Murray can never
speak the way Bevin does, demand the things
Bevin demands because the CIO president is
not backing up with actions his endorsement of
the fight against Hitlerism.
They point to his resignation from the National
Mediation Board, to his support of the strike in
the captive coal mines, and they say that his
words are just words, that while he pays lip
service to national defense he helps to impede it.
The possibility that the management of the
steel companies which own the captive mines
may be in the wrong, may be the ones who are,
impeding defense seems to have been almost
completely overlooked. And yet that is the situa-
tion as it stands today.
The management has steadily refused to agree
to the union request for a closed shop. They
have done so even in the face of what is prob-
ably the most reasonable, most clear-cut case
for the closed shop which has ever been pre-.
sented to any large-scale employers.
Ninety percent of the soft coal mines in the
nation are under a blanket union shop contract

She Married
A Professor
By TOM THUMB
SHE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE SO EXCIT-
ING to be the wife of a professor. So she
married a professor.
And she was right. It was an exciting life. In
the first place they lived in luxury in their beau-
tiful apartment on the corner of Ann and Main
streets. They could afford it because Aegrip-
pus (for such was her husband's name) made
$790 a year (including overtime). They had that
beautiful rstic-looking orange-crate furniture,
and the doilies and tablecloths were of finest
burlap. Well, next to the finest. anway.
And life itself was exciting. Just think -
living in Ann Arbor the rest of your life. The
happy couple went to the Mathematics tea
every Monday, the Astronomy tea every Tues-
day, the Ruthven tea on Wednesdays, the
Physics tea Thursdays, and - Friday was
free Just to bill and coo - except that Aeg-
rippus taught an extension course in Detroit
from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Friday evenings.
But they thrived on the exciting and stimulat-
ing Ann Arbor atmosphere. Just think! They
chaperoned the J-Hop and the Frosh Frolic! In
addition to that they went to the Choral Union,
concerts and applauded for Lawrence Tibbett
until he gave three encores. Oh, thrill, thrill!
AND our little heroine joined the Ann Arbor
Women's Club and the Association of Faculty
Men's Wives, where she spent many an exciting
afternoon engrossed in bridge and mentally tear-
ing, at other women's hair.
Of course, she didn't enter into her husband's
life very much, except when her name was neces-
sary to make a joke funny - such as, "A funny
thing happened this morning, class. As I left
the house, my wife told me I'd better take my
umbrella and rubbers, but I said never mind it
won't rain. And it didn't rain. It snowed." Enor-
mous bursts of laughter. A guy's gotta go
through a lot to get a B.
And then - every seven years, if he's good -
Aegrippus would get a sabbatical leave - with,
half pay, of course. But the happy couple had at
least three dollars saved up from his back salary,
so they went tromping off to Eaglebelch, Ari-
zona, where is kept the Eaglebelch collection of
rare metamorphic fossilipherous conglomerates,
and Aegrippus spent a gripping year in study, as
his wife took in exciting laundry to maintain
these humanitarian researches.
But at the end of his sabbatical, Aegrippus
had written two textbooks, which he pre-
scribed as reading for his courses. He reaped
$2.50 in royalties by the time the edition
was out of print, and they spend this having
an exciting time at a real live motion picture
show in Detroit! (Given at the Detroit Mu-
sem - the title: "Fossilipherous Reptiles
of the Mesozoie Period).
EVENTJALLY Aegrippus becomes too old to
teach, so he grows a goatee and continues
teaching. He is regarded far and wide as a great
authority, and people come from miles to gather
'ound his wheelchair and seek advice.
But soon his riotous living begins to tell on
him and he passes away as excitingly as he has
lived. His dying words: "Oof, my haemoglobin!"
He leaves to his wife his entire estate, con-
sisting of a large collection of geological speci-
mens, a fluorescent desk lamp, "An Analytical
Treatise on the Eftects of Fossilipherous De-
posits Upon Mesozoic Minerals," by Froitz-
boinder, and an overdue public library copy of
Scott's Ivanhoe.
His wife then works for the University as a
charwoman until one day she is found dead in
the Museum of Classical Archaeology, where she
was working. The coroner says that she has been
dead for three months.
THE GIRL who thought it would be exciting to
marry the professor was right. She lived
and died by the old Roman code: "Live dan-

gerously."
shut case why did the Mediation Board refuse
to grant its request? The answer is plainly one
of personal antagonism.
The members of the board (and the public) al-
lowed their personal dislike for John L. Lewis to
color their decision. In a similar case-but not
so strong a one from the union viewpoint-the
board not long ago granted theclosed shop. But
not to John L. Lewis. It must be admitted, of
course, that they have ample reason for dislik-
ing Lewis and many of the things he has done.
However, they should not allow it to enter into
their judgment on a perfectly legitimate union
request.
The question now is, "What should the Presi-
dent do?" One thing is immediately plain. He
should not send the troops to force any workers
back in the mines. This would probably mean
bloodshed. And it would certainly not insure the
efficient running of the mines-which is the
primary goal.
Another personal conference between himself,
1 the management of the mines and the leaders of
labor should be the first step. If, however, this
step does not accomplish anything, it is obvious
he is going to have to grant the request of one
side or the other. The evidence in the case al-
lows but one answer-the miners must receive
their union shop.
And it is for this end that not only Lewis and
the UMW, but all of the CIO, are fighting. The
large majority of them do not agree with Lewis
on foreign policy or about Roosevelt. They wish
there was some way they could quietly shove the
UMW leader into some far-off corner. And
most important of all, they do not wish to do

WASHINGTON-The-President has on his desk
a confidential report that would warm the
heart of the defense-harried little business man
if he could read it.
Submitted by Lowell Mellett, one of the "pas-
sion for anonymity" White House secretaries,
following a careful survey in 35 states, the mem-
orandum by inference severely criticizes OPM
and War Department handling of defense con-
tracts.
Mellett found that little business generally is
bitterly disgusted with the whole defense ad-
ministration, is convinced that it is being run
by big business and corporation lawyers, and is
up in arms politically about the matter. Mellett
warns that the Administration had better do
something about the situation and do it fast
or it will be just too bad in next year's crucial
congressional elections.
A long list of specific grievances are detailed
in the report: Little firms excluded from defense
orders in favor of big competitors, even though
there was no difference in their prices. End-
less run-arounds from OPM and Army brass-
hats because the little business men had no "in"
with the big shots. Small manufacturers put
out of business by the priority system which en-
ables big concerns with defense contracts to hog
supplies of raw materials.
Mellett also implies that the Division of Con-
tract Distribution, established several months ago
to help alittle business, has so far accomplished
very little in the way of results. Small business
is still out in the cold when it comes to getting
an equitable share of defense -work.
The gist of the report is an old story to the
President. For months others have been telling
him the same thing, although not so compre-
hensively and effectively. The creation of SPAB
and the Contract Distribution Division was an
effort to remedy the situation. But these agen-
cies are manned with the same type of executives
who have been running the defense program from
the start - big business men.
There isn't one little business man among
them.
Lone Refuge
IN FACT, in all of Washington there is only one
place where a little business man is func-
tioning in behalf of small business.
That is in the Justice Department, where
trust-busting Assistant Attorney General Thur-
man Arnold has set up a Small Business Section
and installed as its head a genuine little busi-
ness man.
He is Guy Holcolnb, a strapping, two-fisted At-
lanta filling station operator, who has never had
a public job before, hates red tape, and loves
nothing better than to tangle with a brasshat
who is pushing around a little fellow.
Operating from a cubby-hole office, with only
a secretary as his assistant, and without fan-
fare and hoopla, Holcomb in the month he has
been functioning, already has chalked up an im-
pressive record as a defender of little business
men. He has got them contracts, supplies, and
entry to official doors previously closed.
If you are a little business man and are having
defense troubles, Holcomb is the one man in
Washington to tell them to. He may not be able
to help you, but he'll certainly try. There will
be no complaint on that score.
One Time Driers
F RED G. ORSINGER, popular director of the-
Commerce Department's Aquarium, was re-
galing sight-seers on the high mortality rate of
his finny charges.
"Fish are a mighty poor insurance risk," he ex-
plained, "especially the rare ones. I went to New

York recently and brought back a pink-tailed
South American catfish, the only one in the Uni-
ted States. It died soon after arriving in Wash-
ington, due to the temperature change or too
much rough handling on the way down.
"Then, there were those two man-eating pir-
anhas we had here in the Aquarium," contin-
ued Orsinger, warming to his subject. "One of
the danged things almost bit my finger off. May-
be that's what killed him. Anyway, he died soon
after. Another jumped out of the tank a few
days later and died from bruises he received
while we were trying to dislodge him from be-
tween some air pipes. I guess about the most
interesting fish we have in here now are those
little red-and-blue neons over there."
"And how often do they die?" asked a wide-
eyed listener.
"Only once," replied Orsinger.
Loophole For Japs
THAT "freezing" order impounding Japanese
funds isn't so tough as authorities thought
it was.
It's not being advertised, but a loophole has
just been discovered by means of which Jap
agents have been quietly obtaining large quan-
tities of desperately needed strategic raw ma-
terials in South America.
This is the way they work it:
A Japanese agent enters into a contract with
a South American company for an "exchange"
of Japanese manufactured goods for raw ma-
terials. On the surface the deal is a straight-
forward barter transaction.
But that's only the cover-up.
To guarantee the delivery of the promised
manufactured goods, the Jap agent deposits an
irrevocable letter of credit payable to the South

University Lecture: Lieutenant

M USI C
The fourth in the season's series
of Choral Union concerts last night
saw the Signori Ezio Piza and Gio-
vanni Martinelli appear in Hill Audi-
torium in joint concert before a small
but tremendously, and explosively,
enthusiastic audience. In a veritable
field day for the lover of vocal music,
everything from early Italian song
through opera to Brahms and Schu-
mann was presented.
Of Mr. Pinza's voice and his sing-
ing there is little that could be said
which he did not say in his mag-
nificent preformance last night; for
the art of bel canto. an almost lost
art today, due not so much to ignor-
ance or inferiority as to carelessness
and impatience, attain perfection
through Mr. Pinza. It has long been
apparent that from the standpoint of
tone production, pure vocalization,
Ezio Pinza has probably the greatest
voice of our time. His resonance is
complete and yet, though he is a
basso profundo in the full sense of
the word, his voice has none of the
thick, harsh overtones so common to
most basses. His tone is beautifully
rounded, pure, and mellow, while re-
taining all its virility and power, and
is produced throughout its entire
range with an ease which belies
many of our more vociferous singers.
Not only vocally, but artistically
Mr. Pinza left nothing to be desired.
His phrasing was meticulous, his dy-
namics well-placed and not exagger-
ated, though entirely sufficient. His
early Italian songs which opened his
part of the program wee perfectly
done, but it was in his presentation
of German lied that lie proved him-
self a great artist. From the resigned
anguish of Schumann's "Ich grolle
nicht" to the stum and drang of
Schubert's "Der Atlas," Pinza's feel-
ing and expression was subtle and
moving. In his singing of Mozart and
Rossini arias Mr. Pinza's reputation
as a dramatist and artist was upheld
to the full.
Of Mr. Martinelli it can only be
said, colloquially, that once he got
warmed up he really went to town.
Of course, due to his age his tone is
necessarily thin and lacking in reso-
nance, though he still has a low regis-
ter which puts most younger tenors to
shame, and can produce his high
notes with unbelievable intensity and
color, as was well shown in his en-
core "Vesti la giubba," sung excell-
ently and with great' feeling. Artisti-
cally Mr. Martinelli is very fine, and
strangely enough his best work was
in his songs rather than his operatic
selections. He caught~well the spirit
of Brahms' "Die Mainacht" and in
his French songs displayed fie
phrasing and interpretation.
The only duet of the evening, Mas-
ini's "I Mulattieri," a rollicking and
humorous song, gave both artists
ample opportunity to display a light-
er, though still artistic side of their
personalities.
All due credit should be given Fritz
Kitzinger for the excellent and well-
balanced accompaniment he pro-
vided at the piano.
-Kenneth W. Rhoads
fant Robinson, Curator of Mediaeval
Manuscripts at Princeton University,
