————— so many instances in history where one act or one expression, or one omission, has changed the course of events that it is necessary here to make mention only that such things happen. Everyone has seen them. to make a guess as to the reaching consequences. er hand, a number can be recalled cain from the start. It is one now. When John L. Lewis burst forth with angry violence and referred to Vice President Garner as ‘‘a la- bor-baiting, poker-playing, whiskey- drinking, old man,” he wrote ‘‘finis"’ for his long career as a labor lead- er. Even with his ability to shake his bushy hair and wrinkle his bee- tled eyebrows and evolve the most biting of all language into a descrip- tion of his enemies, even with this capacity and a million or so work- ers p g him dues, John Lewis is through as a political influence in behalf of organized labor. It is not meant here that Lewis will not continue to shout and tear his hair and accuse everyone of be- ing unfair to organized labor; still has his vicious tongue, and he is dustrial Organizations. As long as and make speeches and drive home threats and yell “bloody murder,” and, of cot pers to print his statements. 1 am saying is, however, that Lewis the capitol been seen, weasel tates, their greetings to him here- after are likely to be of the thumb- lo-nose variety. and Reaction Comes Quickly In House Labor Committee 1" As an that eruption of pol immediately federal wages and hours law amendments to wi violently opposed. no member the True, there was of committee in the hearing, but they did vote to debate and, in effect, tell Lewis to take his marbles and go home. It was the second time that Lewis when they come from a man who has had the build-up given Lewis as a labor leader and politician. It will be recalled how, a year ago, Lewis walked into the office of Speaker Bankhead of the house, and an- nounced what the house must do about some labor legislation. Mr. Bankhead, a thoroughly level-head- ed Democrat from the deep South, fixed things right up for the labor leader—to make sure that Lewis would lose out. One would think that Lewis would have learned his lesson from the dictatorial arro- gance he displayed on that occa- sion, but he came back for more. Perhaps, the circumstances of the Lewis statement should be related to give a clear picture of the con- sequences that seem certain to flow from his personal attack on Mr. Garner. The house commitiee in- vited Lewis to appear as a wit- ness to give the C. 1. O. views on the amendments that were pro- posed. Lewis spent a few minutes in discussing the text of the amend- ments and then launched into a sour- puss tirade about the Democratic party. He asserted that the party, after having accepted labor's gifts— C. 1. O. having supported President Roosevelt with money and men in both presidential campaigns—had now turned out as a traitor. He argued that he never had looked for help from most of the Republi- cans but had believed the Demo- crats would stick by him and his dues-paying workers. But through the last year or more, however, Lewis found someone in the Democratic party who was ‘‘searching for the heart of labor" and that individual, he shouted in red-faced anger, is ‘‘a labor-baiting, poker-playing, whiskey-drinking, evil old man, named Garner.” The vice president was the ‘‘genesis” of a great campaign against labor, so Lewis declared. News Travels Rapidly and Then Things Begin to Happen Well, I have witnessed fast travel- ing of news around the halls of the Capitol many times, but I never have known word to get from office to office and to the far corners of every building any faster than the Lewis statement. And things be- gan to happen. Before the afternoon was over, the Zexas delegation had met and had ’ ment and indignation’’ at his ‘bitter, personal attack’ upon the vice pres- ident. There was talk around the house and senate later about a prop- osition to bar Lewis from any fur- ther appearance before congression- al committee hearings but that fad- ed away. Nevertheless, my guess at this stage is that if and when gressional committee again, he will be subjected to a grilling that will tan him to a deep browr Now, thus far, dealt only with more, Wherever politicians gathered around Washington during the week following the intemperate action by Lewis, one could not fail to hear conjecture as to its effect upon the movement to make the vice presi- the Democratic presidential nominee next year. The feeling was almost unanimous that ‘Cactus Jack’ could have had no better break, politically. That is to say, an attack by Lewis, who led the sit- down strikers and who has been tied this column has Lewis.

With the Lewis record of support of every- thing new dealish, it can not fail to convince voters of the brand of Gar- ner democracy. There is still a further phase or sphere of influence to be mentioned.

Probably Mr. Garner will not be the Democratic nominee at all. But these conjectures I have been mak- ing have been thrown more as proof strated his lack of political ability than for any other reason. And in America. down grade. true colors. When these are coupled with the fact that he stooped to make the personal life of a national figure the subject of his remarks, some think he started the machin. ery to drive himself into oblivion. 1 have known Mr. Garner many years. 1 believe there can be no question about his integrity. His ability long has been recognized. If, then, by any chance, Mr. Garner should be the Democratic nominee, where does that leave John L. Lew- is? Zzom this rail fence, it appears that Lewis has led his faction of un- jon workers into another blind alley, (Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
