Facing' the Facts
With PHILIP PEARL
Thank you, Mr. President!
The American Federation of Labor
asked you last week to tell the Amer
ican public the truth about the failure
to resume labor negotiations.
You responded promptly, Mr. Pres
ident. You told the truth. You in
formed the public that the American
Federation of Labor had responded fa
vorably and unreservedly to your ap
peal for the restoration of peace con
ferences. You revealed for the first
time that John L. Lewis had spurned
your pleas.
Now the public knows the truth.
Now it is the duty of all American
workers, whether they are members
of the American Federation of Labor
or the C. I. O., to compel Mr. Lewis
to see reason or get out. No one man
can get away indefinitely with the po
sition stubbornly held by Mr. Lewis.
No one man can prevent the hosts of
labor from achieving the unity they
want and need. No one man can stay
on the spot and take the heat that is

being turned on Mr. Lewis and will be
turned on him.
Even Mr. Lewis knows this. So as
soon as President Roosevelt spoke up
and told the country the truth—in
fact the very next day—Mr. Lewis
attempted to squirm off the spot and
escape the public wrath by making a
show of offering peace. It was the
same kind of phony offer Mr. Lewis
has made repeatedly in the past. Some
people, including most of his follow
ers, were duped by the pervious fake
peace proposals emanating from Mt.
Lewis. But by this time everyone is
wise to his game. That kind of phony
will not work any more, Mr. Lewis.
You had better think up a new one,
quickly.
ULTEBIOK MOTIVES
Even Mr. Lewis anticipated diffi
culty in fooling the public this time,
so he went to great lengths in insist
ing on his own sincerity and in warn
ing against efforts to seek flaws in
his proposal or to hunt ulterior mo
tives behind it. It is not necessary to
look for ulterior motives in the Lewis
plan. They stick out all over it like
porcppine quills.
Let us identify them for you. In
the first place, Mr. Lewis did not
submit his proposal to the American
Federation of Labor directly or ask
that it be submitted and considered by
the duly constituted peace committees
representing both sides. No. Instead,
he blew his pretty bubble in the air at
the tail end of a speech before the
American Youth Congress in Wash
ington. More about this Congress
later.
In the second place, Mr. Lewis ask
ed for the immediate chartering b'
the A. F. of L. of all C. I. O. unit
without audits of membership or re
gard for jurisdictional conflicts wit]
existing A. F. of L. unions. Thi
means that the A. F. of L. would is
sue charters to paper organization
with inflated membership and thu
give them added strength and en
couragement to carry on their figh
against the A F. of L. from withii
the A. F. of L. Wouldn’t that be i
fine way of achieving peace an<
unity?
Finally, Mr. Lewis topped his pro
posal off with the glittering but com
pletely gratuitous offer to withdrav
himself as a candidate for any offici
nnhihe L; How unselfish
noble and touching!
THE WAY TO PEACE
When we face the facts we see tha
the labor war has been a bitter on.
and the road to peace will not be ai
easy one. The essential requirement,
are these:
Peace must be real peace. It mus
come from a mutual realization tha
existing strike is unnecessary, harm
M. P. Labor Chief
Has Only An Hour
b Chicago Jail
CHICAGO, Feb. 21.—William Bioff,
stocky motion picture labor chief, rode
in and out of Jail yesterday on a
merry-go-round of legal action.
In the midst at the swift sequence
of events, he announced that he had
resigned as chairman of the Confer
ence of Studio Unions, the control cen
ter of most of the A. F. L. organiza
tions in the Hollywood industry. He
emphasized, however, that he would
retain his other position as a repre
sentative of the International Alliance
of Theatrical and State Employes.

ful and dangerous to labor. It must
be a lasting peace. It must be a com
plete peace. _ .
The American Federaiton of Labor
is willing and has been willing from
the beginning to admit all C. I. W.
unions and their members to the fold
without prejudice, without discrimi
nation, and without penalty. We want
them to come back. We want them
to work with us, not against us.
Therefore, it is first necessary to
haev an independent audit made at
once of the paid-up membership of
both organizations.
After such an audit is made, it
wil lbe necessary for the officials of
unions on each side with conflicting
jurisdictions to sit down and work
out mutually satisfactory mergers.
The American Federation of Labor
cannot have two unions fighting
against each other in the same field
for the right to represent the same
workers. . .
Finally, after the mergers have
bone arranged on a voluntary basis, all
the C. I. O. unions, including those
originally chartered by the A. F. of
L., came come back at once to the
house of labor and take their rightful
place in the conventions of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor with the
same rights and privileges as the or
ganizations which have remained
fatihful throughout.
Mr. Lewis, if you will accept these
terms, you will be treated on the same
footing as any other member in good
standing. Nothing will be placed in
the way of any ambitions you may
still entertain. In fact, we invite you
Ur come in and offer yourself as a
candidate for any office in the Amer
ican Federation of Labor at its next
convention. We wouldn’t think of de->
priving you of that opportunity.

PROFITS INCREASE
The alleged lack of confidence of
business men in the economic condi
tion of the country is not reflected in
current summaries of financial opera
tions. According to the Associated
Press profits of the first 230 large
companies to report results for 1989
were nearly 1600,000, or 03 per cent
greater than in 1938. A compilation
placed earnings for the group at 31,
152,61,000, compared with $704,806,
OOOin the previous year.
