EIVE HUNDRED AND SIXTY- F'FIVE newspaper publishers and executives representing 11 large newspaper asso- ciations went on record this week as unalterably opposed to the American Newspaper Guild's re- cent decision to seek a closed shop for editors, reporters and photographers. The underlying monetary reasons for the op- position of the publishers and executives to the Guild's proposal are, we think, ill concealed by the rosy herring which they attempt to exhibit for public attention. One herring, however, is deemed entirely insufficient by the moguls of the press so they have recourse to a host of old stand-bys. The Guild, they boom shrewdly, now finds itself "embroiled in a bitter labor con- troversy, pawn of a leadership which is up to its ears in the labor movement, caring nothing and doing nothing to promote the professional stand- ards of journalists, leveling men of fine talents, education and ambition down with the least equipped and least-responsiblenpersonnel." The latter argument-standardization of brains-is a favorite one of the publishers. Just how a simple collective bargaining agreement has such gruesome potentialities is unknown to us at present. They hark back to constitutional guarantees and freedom of the press and allege that a closed shop will inevitably destroy every vestige of un- biased, factual reporting. "A closed editorial shop," cries James C. Stahlman, president of the American Newspaper Publishers Association, in the keynote address before representatives of 10 newspaper associations in Chicago, "A closed editorial shop means a closed editorial mind. A closed editorial mind means the death of that newspaper which possesses that closed editorial mind." Does Mr. Stahlman think that the modern American press, the press so adroitly fashioned on a "big business" design, is capable of com- pletely unbiased news coverage? Does Mr. Stahl- man think that the support Governor Landon, Wall Street and the Liberty League received from the majority of newspapers throughout the coun- try (in their news columns!) in the last election was a matter of chance or coincidence? Do Mr. Stahlman and the newspaper executives think that freedom of the press, uncolored news and such grand old principles, are really the issue at stake? No, we think these gentlemen of the press are fully aware of the danger impending to "big business" journalism and have simply taken advantage of a splendid opportunity to confuse in the public's mind, the Guild's closed shop demands with pseudo-constitutional issues and the present country-wide labor strife. It is also charged that a closed shop would re- duce the profession of journalism to a trade, and this brings us to the crux of the discussion. Is journalism at present a profession? We think it can scarcely be thus dignified when it im- poses no standards of education, intelligence or achievement to applicants seeking member- ship. We sympathize with the Guild's closed shop demand not only because it will end the ex- ploitation of a group of workers vilnerable be- cause of a certain romance or attachment felt for their work, but also because it will lead to the introduction of work standards for the first time in the field of journalism. The days of high-school-trained men, sensa- tional scoops and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer jour- nalism are fast succumbing to a saner, more in- telligent version with an infinitely greater public utility. It is high time that journalism assumed its place beside law and medicine as an established City Of Big Shoulders . . T HE MOST DAMNING EVIDENCE yet uncovered against the activ- ities of "little steel" in its fight against organized labor appears to be the motion pictures taken by a news cameraman of the Memorial Day mas- sacre in South Chicago at present in the posses- sion of the LaFollette Civil Liberties Committee. The Committee obtained the film after the Par- amount Co., its producer, had made the aston- ishing announcement that it would not be re- leased for public consumption for fear of incit- ing riots throughout the country. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch in an article pub- lished recently presented a description of the film by one of the few persons present at the secret showing before the Committee in Wash- ington. The graphic horror of the account makes all too clear the reason for the motion picture company's singular action. The story told by the camera presents so shocking and brutal a picture of the events of that sanguinary Sunday afternoon that one may well believe an aroused public opinion would manifest itself in violent protest were the great mass of the people to see for themselves the methods employed by Tom Girdler, trigger man of the companies which have refused to sign contracts with the Steel Workers' Organizing Committee. One or two sample quotations should give an idea of these methods as recorded by the impartial news cam- era. The Post-Dispatch vouches for the integrity of the witness. The opening scenes show the marchers, about equal in number to the police, halted by the latter's line 200 yards from the Republic plant. The leader of the strikers is seen talking earnest- ly to the commanding officer of the police: "Then suddenly, without apparent warning, there is a terrific roar of pistol shots, and men in the front rank of the marchers go down like grass before a scythe. "Instantly the police charge on the marchers with riot sticks flailing. At the same time tear- gas grenades are seen sailing into the mass of demonstrators, and clouds of gas rise over them... "In several instances, from two to four police- men are seen beating one man. One strikes him horizontally across the face, using his club as, he would wield a baseball bat. Another crashes it down on top of his head, and still another is whipping him across the back. "These men try to protect their heads with their arms, but it is only a matter of a second or two until they go down. In one such scene, directly in the foreground, a policeman gives the fallen man a final smash on the head be- fore moving on to the next job." On The Level By WRAG JOHNNY SPEICHER, famed logician and co- captain of Michigan's wrestling team, led a certain lawyer from Colgate and Columbia, on a merry chase Wednesday night. Well known for his continual practical joking, wee Johnny had two girl friends assisting him in the perpetration of his latest, and the lawyer bit for the gag as hard as any ordinary human could. It all started, when "Jawn," tired out from buying a text book, went over to the girls' place to relax. Having nothing to do, the three conceived a brain child and delivered it in the form of a phone call to the unlucky law-stooge. One of the girls told the law that her name was "Margerite Churchill' (if the butt had known his movie ac- tresses, he would have sensed a phoney), and that she was all alone at an address on South University and wanted him to come over. After hesitating for about two seconds, the lawyer jumped into his clothes and rushed to the address. Meantime, our tricky three hid in a ga- rage across from the given address, and watched their sucker walk into the house. Inside, a hus- band informed the lawyer that his wife was by no means "Miss Churchill," so Johnny's dupe left after a futile search for the non-existent woman. Coming out of the house, the lawyer was approached by the two female jokesters who asked if a "Miss Churchill" lived there. Again the bar boy bit and told them she didn't, so the two girls talked him into walking them home. On their way home, the lawyer and the two girls "accidentally" bumped into Speicher. He joined them, and led the chase personally from then on. The poor lawyer, knowing nothing of the layout of Ann Arbor, followed them on a very circuitous route to a fictitious house where the girls were supposed to live "out near the Arboretum." At the Arboretum, the fun really began, because there was no moon in the sky', and the original three easily separated them- selves from the lawyer. Alas! The lawyer was lost in the middle of the Arboretum! A voice called to him. He rushed madly to the spot and no one would be there. Then another voice would call, but no one would be at the approxi- mate spot. Finally, "Spike" and the girls tired of the sport, and left the unfortunate fellow stumbling through streams and thorn bushes ii the lonely Arboretum. About two o'clock, the lawyer stum- bled into his house, tired, damp, dirty, and very very angry. He vows he will get his full revenge, but because Speicher is about a head shorter than him, he insists on being a gentleman and re- taliating by brain and not brute force. After being such an unmitigated sucker-we wonder. BUT all the tough breaks haven't fallen onto the shoulders of the pathetic lawyer above.

On the eve of his dismissal he read a delightfully witty paper to the Chicago Literary! Club entitled "Life Among the Low Brows." It made no reference to the school board or to immediate events, but none of his listeners missed its implications. For ten years, since he was awarded the distinction of discharge by the political ignor- amuses of the board of education, Dr. McAndrew had enjoyed the leisure of retirement in travel and writing. Many of his friends cherish hisI whimsical and sparkling letters characteristically illustrated in colored crayon. McAndrew be- longed to an apostolic succession of educators who suffered martyrdom at the hands of polit- ically dominated school boards. But McAndrew, the irrepressible, declined to be a martyr.

For one who indulges in "mur- der as a fine art" there are legions who slay in the purlieus ignorant of schoolmen. Indeed, the common or garden murderer no more acts from books than the average soldier shoots from his reading of poets, or the average parolee holds up a shop because he.has just seen a gangster film. Attested criminal records will never contain these personal confessions: "Sure, I reads dat nut Kant and den I bumps off 'a guy, see?" "When youse unnastans Plato youse has just gotta bopp a mug." "'Course I konked dat big dick! I got de big idea outa William James."
