Views of the Labor Battlefront
by Len De Caux.
When the United Mine Workers and
the coal operators open their negotia-
tions, it is like a great convention.
Hundreds of union representatives
and employers gather together in the
same hall, elect a chairman and sec-
retary, adopt rules of procedure and
listen to the presentation of the point
of view and proposals on both sides.
Subcommittees are then named to
carry on the more detailed negotiati-
ons. But these subcommittees must re-
port back finally to the whole assem-
bly, and, the democratic forms of con-
vention procedure are folowed through
it all.
Coal negotiations have become a |
model of orderly and effective collect-
ive bargaining. The knottiest prob-
lems are regularly worked out with
the minimum of friction and waste
motion.
A huge industry and hundreds of
thousands of workers are represented
in these negotiations. They are col-
lective bargaining on the largest scale
ever attempted.
This type of procedure on such a
scale is made possible by complete un-
ion recognition and almost 100 per
cent organization throughout the in-
dustry.
The Appalachian Bituminous Joint
Conference of the United Mine Work-
ers and the coal operators began its
sessions in the same New York Ho-
| tel where another series of labor con- |
{ ferences were being held at almost the
same time.
seven representatives of the CIO and
the AFL conferred to see whether the
country’s labor unions could not also
get together to work out the differ-
ences and problems in an orderly and
democratic fashion.
Observers of both conferences not-
ed that interests as divergent as those
of coal operators and mine workers
could be represented together in com-
mon conference; and they wondered
why the country’s labor movements
: could not do likewise.
That in essence 1s wnat the CIO
proposes in its peace plan. The basis
| of common conferences in the coal in-
| dustry is complete mutual recogni-
| tion. If AFL and CIO are willing to
| recognize the rights of their respect-
| ive unions in both bodies and to ac-
| cord them proper representation
| there is no reason why CIO, AFL and
the Railroad Brotherhoods cannot all
sit down, together in a common cause
| to work out their common problems.
The goal of an American Congress
of Labor, or a similar body with an-
other name, represents the fervent de-
sire of most American workers who
{ want to see labor really united by the
| bringing of all unions under one roof.
| The first step in this direction is the
i mutual recognition and common Lon.
| ference with all unions represented,
which the (CIO proposes.
The forms of unity which are now
under discussion between CIO and
| AFL are means to an end, rather than
wholesale attack on the act itself.

In a small suite on another floor,
united action for labor's common pur-
| poses. .
| Without waiting for formal unity,
: there are many fields on which labor
can already act unitedly.
Labor's open shop enemies may
try to play off one union against an-
other. But basically they aim to crip-
ple all effective labor organization.
And right now they are concentrating
on a number of legislative schemes to
bring this about.
The anti-labor initiaties on the west
coast were opposed by both CIO and
AFL unions. A similar united front is
necessary to block the other anti-un-
ion moves which are being made in
the present congress.
The strength of labor's enemies in
Congress is shown by the disgraceful
manner in which the Barkley amend-
ment to the National Defense Bill was
scuttled.
This amendment simply proposes
that government business in connec-
tion with the defense program should
not go to chiseling concerns which
refuse to accord to their employes the
collective bargaining rights required
by law.
The CIO, for its part is determined
to keep up the fight until this reason-
able principle is applied to all govern-
| mental contract work.
But this is not the concern of the
CIO alone. It is the concern ‘of all la-
bor organizations, regardless of affilia-
tion. On this issue both CIO and AFL
unions can and must act unitedly for
the common benefit of all labor.
Defense of the Wagner labor rela-
tions act is another issue on which
united action is both possible and ur-
gent.
Regardless of partisan claims of fa-
voritism, the act has brought the gre-
| atest benefits to all of labor.
By encouraging short sighted and
partisan amendments, the act’s enemies
| seek to play off one section of labor
against another, while they prepare a
need more of it.
Manv AFL bodies have already join-
ed with the CIO in defense of the
Wagner act against amendment and
emasculation, and the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen has also taken a
similar position.
This is labor unity in action and we
need more of it.

Lavender Lining |!
|
By MARY WAVERLY |
© Associated Newspapers,
WNU Service, |
OU EM shook out the fur coat |
almost savagely. So this was
the end of her dreams of comfort.
A punishment, some would say, for
her ever thinking of a little home in
the country, all her own, and fat
little checks coming in every month
to keep the home fire burning. |
As if she wished harm to old Aunt |
Louise Emeline. But dreams ard
wishes were done now. Charities
had received aunt’s money, and to
Lou Em had come some boxes of
ancient clothing. The coat among |
them. No doubt the executors
thought it too frail to be worth any-
thing, or they may have thought it
was but another cracked silk dress,
as it lay in a trunk with its lavender
lining outermost.
“It's not really worn. She must
have had it made just before that
accident that kept her bedridden
afterward. But how old-fashioned!
Look at those huge sleeves! Enough
to make two coats. And that’s an
idea—"’
Lou Em’s pale cheeks flushed as
she pulled out the sleeves and
straightened the collar of the rich
garment,
“Genuine mink, for aunt would
scorn imitation. And with my
hair—’'’ She held a sleeve up against
her face. “I am not so ugly after
all, with something beautiful on me.
I'll just try that plan I thought of;
I can only be laughed at, and may-
be it'll work.”
Swiftly she bundled the coat into
the box in which her marked-down |
suit had come, and, leaving the old
silk and cloth frocks of her legacy
on the floor, hurried down the board-
ing house stairs. Saturday afternoon
was not a good time for her experi-
ment, but business girls cannot
choose times.
The splendor of the new furrier’s
in the new building on the avenue
of fashionable shops almost daunted
Lou Em, but she would not give up,
now that she was started.
“1 have here a coat—"’
mered to the attendant.
“For the remodel, yes?
Moon.”
she stam-

man with the most wonderful eyes
and manners that Lou Em had ever
approved of.
“How much will

too much, and could I—?”
“New lining, of course. Some-
thing neat in beige. And recut to
fit you. Something smart. Say,
a $150.”
“Dollars?’”’ inquired Lou Em
it cost?” she
rying to hide her
“Not
faintly. He might as well have said
kingdoms. She had as many as
she had dollars.
“But the extra fur. There's a lot
of that. Look how long and full the
coat is, and those sleeves—couldn’t
you—that is—surely it’s worth
something, that fur.”
Young Mr. Moon raised his eye-
brows, and then he took a good look
at Lou Em. He saw the cracked
shoe and the too-much washed crepe
blouse and the last year’s hat. He
saw something else, too, for Mr.
Moon was really an observing as
well as a good young man.
“Most unusual, Miss—Henly, was
it? But I'll ask the boss. He's in,
I think. Can’t promise, though.”
Lou Em sat in the pale-gray re-
ception room then and prayed for
the five minutes that seemed five
hours until Mr. Moon returned, fol-
lowed by a human volcano, carry-
ing the mink coat. |
Mr. Schonbrunn of Schonbrunn
Furs, Inc., was not ordinarily an ex-
citable man, but now he appeared
to be one huge sputter.
“You get this, where? This—this
—I myself make this complete, the
first work I do when I finish the
apprentice. The lining, how I fought
the old lady about that. But she
beat, and for doing as she said I
got $50 extra.
“Ah, ah—the good old days when
I was a young feller, them was.
It makes me cry—"’
Mr. Shonbrunn’s
were tearful.
“You want a coat? I'll make you
a coat of good mink, a grand coat,
lining the best I got, but this coat
I don’t cut. No. This coat hangs
in my office in a glass case, as long
as I got it an office. You know
why? That $50 started me up. I
traded a bit in small skins till I
could leave the boss and start for
myself. I come here—now look!’’
Mr. Schonbrunn waved a prideful
hand about the pale-gray salon, with
its one priceless sable scarf on dis-
play.
“The lavender lining that made
my fortune—’’ He stroked the silk
caressingly. ‘“Yes, you take the or-
der, Moon. A mink coat of the best
for the young lady. And you see to
it person’lly. See that she’s suited.”
Mr. Moon would do that. Certain-
ly he would. And there was much
to talk about, Aunt Louise Emeline
and the charities that probably need-
ed her money, and Mr. Schonbrunn
and his romantic streak, so that Mr.
Moon came the next evening to Lou
Em’s boarding house parlor. And
kept coming and taking her out to |
get the good of the new coat.
He really was such an understand-
ing young man that when his salary
was raised Lou Em consented to
give up the boarding house and as
Mrs. Moon live in the dearest little
eyes indeed
flat where the new mink coat would |
be more at home.
