Los ANtelES * SAN FRANCISCO Menbr, Associated Collegiate Press, 1941-42 Editorial Staff WASHINGTON-It was not so very long ago that John L. Lewis on the floor of an Atlantic City labor convention clenched one of his sledge- hammer fists and sent it full force against the jaw of his enemy, "Bully" Hutchinson, head of the AFL Carpenters Union. Despite that quarrel-which continued fo some time-John L. Lewis seems about to be enticed by Bill Hutchinson back into the arms of the American Federation of Labor-from which he departed seven years ago screaming vengeance and recriminations. Some other strange bedfellows are lined up with the New Deal-hating Hutchinson in beckon- ing John L. back to the AFL, namely New Deal supporter Dan Tobin, head of the Teamsters Union, and AFL vice president Matt Woll, who never has gotten over his thwarted ambition to be AFL president. The Tobin-Woll-Hutchinson scheme, accord- ing to insiders, is to sneak John L. into the AFL -by the back door route, namely by a vote of the Executive Council, in which they are potent big-shots, and which has the power to expel or welcome back. This back door route would avoid an embar- rassing debate on the floor of an AFL conven- tion. when certain uncontrolled delegates might sound off against Lewis and jar the atmosphere of joy with which his allies want to welcome the prodigal son home. Two Motives Insiders attribute two motives to the Tobin- Hutchinson-Woll combine. Tobin is said to want Lewis back because that would be the most effective way to bring the ,,AFL and CIO together. The teamster boss long has been a sincere advocate of unity, and in the days of bitterest AFL-CIO squalling he main- tained amicable relations with both. Also, he and Lewis are personal friends of many years' standing. Hutchinson and Woll are credited with a dif- ferent motive. They bitterly hate the CIO, and insiders say they see Lewis' return to the AFL as a body blow to the CIO. They want no peace except a complete CIO surrender. Inyer Qralm - Meanwhile the prospect of having stormy- petrel Lewis back in their midst is causing some other AFL chiefs sleepless nights. They are far from enthusiastic about it. Chief among the sleepless is Wiliam Green, whom Lewis made president when he couldn't muster the votes to get it himself. In recent years they have called one another every name in the book. Green is so uneasy about having John L. re- turn that he secretly asked CIO President Phil Murray to intervede with Tobin to lay off. So when the showdown comes in the AFL Ex- ecutive Council, the Tobin-Hutchinson-Woll combine, powerful as it is, may not find their coup so easy. Lewis, personally, is liked in the AFL no better than in the CIO. They know his penchant for shoving others around. Plenty of themi still nurse bruises. If they should get together it is possible that Lewis won't be able to stage a "prodigal son" act. Note: Years ago, when their national head- quarters were located in Indianapolis, Lewis. Tobin aitd Hutchinson were known among la- borites as the "Indianapolis gang." He Silences Icles Lacey Reynolds, smart young correspndent of the Nashville Tennessean and the Chicago Sun, was received with open arms when he called at the office of Secretary Harold Ickes after writing a story which gave the Interior boss a big boost. "That was a swell story," beamed Ickes. "I have been attacked so many times that your words of praise almost rendered me speechless." To which Reynolds replied: "I guess I am about the only one in Washing- ton who ever accomplished that result, Mr. Sec- retary." Hymer Swander . . . . Managing Edi Will Sapp .

Chiselers, Cheats, Crooks,, Riders Sabotage American War Effort:. . HJRE ARE enough cheap chiselers, crooks, riders and self-seekers in the war effort to turn even a semi-honest ma'n's stomach.., They don't classify easily, but the types are there and no matter what their classification they deserve the scorn and disgust of the Ameri- can nation. Some of them are so professional that they chisel. and cheat out of habit. Anything new is an opportunity for them. They counterfeit war bpnds, they solicit for mythical war relief agen- cies, they do any and everything that will con- tripute to their making a dishonest dollar. In the past we have been tolerant of these men who live by their so-called wits, those swindling fly-by-nights who really are sleight-of-hand saboteurs. They are no longer victims of eco- nomic dislocation and disillusionment. They are now petty saboteurs injuring the war effort of a nation which has tolerated their childish play too long. They should be treated as such, and every judge who sentences a war-bond counter- feiter should remember that he is sentencing a conscious thief turned conscious traitor. He should give him help-the full penalty of the law. Then come the amateurs, the opportunists who wave a flag on high and disrupt the same na- tion whose flag they wave. They hinder here, delay there, obstruct someplace else, all with just one hope: that there's a dollar in it for them, or for their relatives, or for their bosses. MOST OF THEM are petty chiselers, cheat- ers, and in order to get away with it, chronic liars. They are the sugar hoarders, the congressional X' card holders, the guys Congress won't give Henderson the money to deal with. They're too small for the FBI, too clever for the ration boards, and proud of it. They're the war workers who throw rubber around in long trips knowing that others must sacrifice in order that they may have retreads. They are the junk dealers who are waiting for the big price. They are the landlords who have ceiling prices, but aren't averse to having a little fiver on the side now and then-not averse to kicking a guy out who doesn't pro- duce, They are the Detroit Real Estate Deal- ers whose slush fund of a million bucks backs a demand for lifting of rent control. They are the guy next door, and the guy down the street, and the guy who flew the flag on the Fourth of July but sold firecrackers on the side. They are the guyin all of us who is look- ing out for the old No. 1. They rationalize, but they know, and you know, and I know that they're on the wrong side of the fence, and had better hop back before someone important gets sore about them. I'm not important enough, but when enough people get to hear about them, some important guy will go to work. I hope Henderson is the one. He's tough enough to talk turkey, and tWere won't be any back talk. Those are the little guys, now for the big stinkers. They are big and little business men who delay con' ersion, lay in big stocks to beat priorities, sell steel on the side for black market prices, keep rubber patents secret. They are the industrialists who serve as dollar-a-year men and at the same time serve the interests of the over a million dollars. They are all the things that the Truman Committee and Thurman Arn- old, and PM have called them; they're a few more things besides. They are unequivocally conscious saboteurs, and we ought to have learned by now how to handle saboteurs. THERE WE HAVE THEM: the important indi- vidiual and thej unimportant individual, the big business man and the little business man. But we've got some others left who fit into our little picture of the rotten part of America at war. We've got Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith, poten- tial Senatorial candidate from our own state whose magazine, The Cross and the Sword, be- longs with Social Justice in scrap-paper bales. We've got lots of smaller fry, little one-stand subversive prints that are worse, and the men who run them worst of all. We've also the riders, the guys who hide be- hind the war effort and at the same time at- tempt to smash half of what's decent in America. Specifically I mean guys like Martin Dies and every other reactionary, clock-turner-backer that haunts Washington talking about a subject that he knows all about; to wit, the un-Am can activities of which he is guilty.: There are no words to describe my feelings on the subject. I think that a man with the record of Martin hies ought to be summarily ejected from a Congress as lousy as our present one. He has destroyed the meaning of the word un-Ameri.can with his campaign of groundless hate against any liberal or progressive in the United States. No one is safe from his calumny. Doctors from the Uni- versity of Michigan Hospital know the sting of his cries thrown 'to the four political winds, cries of "Red" and "Communist" and "Radical." They heard them because they contributed to the medical relief of soldiers of loyalist Spain, the first fighters in the war against Fascism. No employe in Washington that utters sentiments even in direct accord with New Deal policy is safe from the snake-I prefer the adjective to eagle-eye of Mr. Dies. He and his reactionary partners belong in the group that by riding on the war effort creates disunity and therefore sabotages an America at war. There ought to be a law against them instead of an appropria- tion for them. M US -reads an incomplete but still impres- sive lineup of our national rogues' gallery. There they are. Every rman-jack of them is sabotaging what you and I and John Doe be- lieve in and are working for. They are the Dies, the Bards, the Fords, the Farishes, the Big Steels and the Little Steels, the Rankins, the Hoffmans, the Reeds. If America has the guts, the courage and the heart that I hope and believe it has, it will rid itself of the new American racketeer, wash it- self clear of its impurities. If it doesn't, it's not the America that I fervently want to win this war a- Hale Champion Love Goes Mathema cal Basic English, which reduces the vocabulary to something more than 800 words, may have encouraged the War Department to epitomize human experience with something over 100 numbers for inexpensive cable messages between soldiers abroad and their families, relatives, orrnfh ..rs M" ..In a re 'h r -n rhnn -m m : i L E TTCRS TO THlE EDITOR A Day Of Remembrance To the Editor: T OPAY marks the beginning of the sixth year of the Chinese gallant fight against their aggressors. We Chinese students in this country feel shameful, and a little humiliated, on this solemn day to think that all we have done in this fight is to stand by and count the number of the dead. Thousands have fallen in the battlefield in the past five years, thousands others have been captured and made prisoners, and countless in- nocent women and children have been driven from their homes and been starved and raped and tortured to death; millions of men and women in this country have generously opened their pockets to contribute to this cause, and American aviators and soldiers have bidden farewell to their fanilies to pledge their energies and blood to this gigantic struggle. What, we are led to ask, are we iighting for? What is the final objective, and whither are we going? ARE WE fighting for freedom? Yes. But free- dom is not the only objective for which we fight. For existence? But that too is not enough. We are fighting not only to save our own skin, or the skin of any other nation whose interests are dependent on the existence of a politically free China. We are-or should be-fighting for a cause covering the whole world, comprehending the welfare and equality of all peoples and all races of the earth, and nothing short of such an objec- tive can ever justify the bloodshed and human sacrifice thus far made. OR SOME PEOPLE this day may stand as a token that machines are not always infallible, that human will and morale proves sometimes a mightier sword than steel and iron. For others it may serve as a reminder that nations today are no longer isolated units, but are mutually depende It and indispensable and that when one nationfalls, all others are necessarily weakened. Fqr a few who always think in terms of ends and means and feel that they work most efficiently when the final end is clearly envisaged, this is a day that calls for a re-formulation and re- evaluation of war aims and peace programs. The Four Freedoms outlined by .President Roosevelt, the Atlantic Charter, the seven points listed by Herbert Hoover in his new book-all these are worth fighting for, and can be won, provided that one condition be fulfilled: that people's minds be re-educated and old habits of thought be discarded. 8 LONG as their "patriotism" is confined to the good and welfare of one nation. as long as their "peace" remains a prerogative accessible to the privileged few, to the suppressioI of the rest of the world, there can be no real peace, there can be no good and welfare for, whatever nation in whatever sense of the word. International peace and security is not some- thing that can be achieved overnight; it is not a DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 1942 VOL. LII.
