Show mimril asef national service act Is answer to war disputes too many cooks root of labor disputes pressure groups individuals unwilling to lay aside financial desires by BAUKHAGE news analyst and commentator service onion trust building washington D C why did the president order the army to t take ake over the railroads you can get seven reasons from seven different presidential advisors I 1 wont repeat them I 1 will name three first the epitome of 01 those bose the politically liti cally minded probably gave it will be a good thing tor for 1944 that Is the sum total of a number of conclusions clu of the master minds who are advising concerning the political c campaign I 1 which Is ahead ot of us there are two other reasons which some of the time hardened officials in washington offer aside from the threat reil real or fancied to the war effort these officials let the political stream flow over them they are more interested in getting the particular job assigned to them done than figuring out its political effects needless to say they belong to that large conscientious army which most people outside ot of washington forget exists an army of people wise or unwise in their judgments but beholden to no political party for their positions these are the t two 0 probable reasons they offered first arst the r roads a ds were seized as a threat against other industrialists who might make trouble in accepting terms term 3 of future labor wage decisions such demands for increases whiz which cant ant be easily dodged perhaps just demands perhaps not depending on wha holds the scales the second reason offered is this simply because many of the presidents present labor advisors have had little or no experience in labor relations in the methods of labor leaders misunderstanding there are a number ot of signs which might inight point to reason one as the one which turned the scales but like most of the other motivating forces in many of the recent labor decisions they spring from the some same soil as does reason two misunderstanding of af the methods of labor leaders Y you ou will recall that william green I 1 A F of L chieftain chleota in when he ma made de what since seems to have b been ee it an ill starred attack on the marshall statement that threats of strikes might prolong the war stated flatly that the rall railroad road unions bad never intended to strike that statement questioned in spite of the angry denials of the railroad union leaders it is what you heard in every railroad office from every old time councilor and advisor in washington before the r roads oads were taken over unfortunately the whole situation Is reminiscent of the conversation concerning the d dog ag the dog growled the owner said dont be frig frightened t e ned I 1 know he wont bite you but replied his friend does the dog know it you see the friend had bad no understanding of dogs if you had slipped into the white house on a certain day not long before the deadline for the strike call of the so called recalcitrant unions engl engi nemen and firemen and conductors had been reached you too might have been alarmed the union representatives 1 I am told were making a noise very nicch like a dog that is going to bite now the old timers were used to the noise but the two gentlemen upon whom the president leans for advice in matters of stabilization involving wage and price boosts byrnes and vinson were not accustomed to the sound they did not know that a labor leaders bark is often worse than his bite there never was the faintest possibility of an actual walkout on the nations railroads william green byrnes and vinson believed what they heard beard and it was plenty that experience I 1 think I 1 can say is authentic the labor leaders emphatically and enthusiastically threatened Vin vinson and byrnes took the warning growl grow for a real threat others of the prist presidents council were convinced that there was wa excuse enough to do something which they thought would be advantageous for political reasons I 1 and so finally the man with tie long cigarette holder just back from the world battlefronts where so much per hour per day the argument but so many lives per hour was where world maps were being redrawn re drawn where americas at a and action was about to rewrite history became a little to im patient the action date we have come to the action date said the president we have been talking here since sunday if you cant teke take action by agreement I 1 will have to take action by myself he took it and he took the railroads T to say that washington gion was not surprised would be to misjudge washington the root of the whole trouble in this and all the labor disputes has bai been that there were too many cooks the trouble with the confusing statements which come out of washington Is that there are too many cooks and yet we have that par paradox adox that when there are taw td many people handling war lems the only cure so far has bs beer to substitute too few to pass the th buck to one man the president the th answer to that Is that one man simply cannot do it all the war Is too far away from us we cannot lay aside our personal end and natural desire to make as m much h money out of it as the next fellow this has gone on from the beginning employer making his profits essential labor demanding and getting his high wages the farmer his incentive and then those who follow after shouting you did it for them do it for mel me not one group Is blameless only those who have been unable to bring pressure hesitated to do so and for the most part each group sincerely believing that it was getting no more than its just due the rest were the profiteers the chiselers the solution at this writing a national service act that will order who does what and for how bow much just as it is in the army an abiding peace common sense treatment books on the postwar world can almost a be described as the only commodity of which there ip now surplus production but this Is one towards an abiding pea peace ce that can be taken seriously R M macivor maciver professor in columbia university tor for one thing writes a clear simple language saying what he means directly and without qualifications he is for a world order but Is too practical to believe you can have it by just writing a world constitution 0 o n he wants a temporary peace which c h iq in a way carries on from the wa war alliance and then a second stage in which we move to real international ter national co control nirol furthermore he thinks that sooner or later our p present enemies must be taken in unless we are going to let the third world war slowly fester an international order is an international n order to mr maciver Ma clver there are no weasel words mr maciver has worked out hi his s plans in some detail there is a lot of common sense in towards an abiding peace on a subject on which a good deal of pretentious philosophizing is ie being done bond selling plan rep richard V P gale of minne tota beta has a plan for increasing bond sales to individual citizens the sales which it is most important to make he thinks it is a cheap and easy way for the government to increase sales and interest in sales on the part of the average man senator guffey cufley offered a similar plan periodically at intervals nut greater than three months he would have the treasury make a drawing and the person holding the winning number he would be a bondholder of course would get a prize of from
