Points to Success. of His ‘Count 10’ Actin Urging More

Local Autonomy in

Unions; Seeks Ban .

Against Secondary Boycotts.

This is the last of four articles on Minnesota's 35-year-old Governor Stassen, often mentioned as future presidential timber.

By THOMAS L. STOKES \ Times Special Writer

ST. PAUL, Jan. 30.—Gov. Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota has attracted attention in the field of labor relations by

his so-called “count ten” law,

which requires a “cooling off”

period before a strike or lockout. - Considerable success in promoting industrial peace has attended operation of this measure, enacted more than three

years ago in the first, Stassen

administration.

. The governor has continued to devote close study to the complex problems that have developed as labor has enlarged

its sphere of influence. Now he is asking his legislature to require more local autonomy within labor unions, more say-so by members on the . election of officers, on dues, on strike issues, more financial responsibility through re- . ports and accounting. He is also seeking 'a curb on “secondary boycotts” by labor where these affect the necessities of life. Labor is cool to his new proposals, But labor was cool toward the “count ten” law, Especially bitter to that reform was the C. I. O.; some left-wing elements called it “the Stassen slave act.” Yet the C. I. O,, along with many A. F. of L. groups, indorsed Governor Stassen in the last camapign, when he was elected to a third term. For the “count ten” law has been generally satisfactory. Strikes have been cut far down. The law requires, first, a 10-day “cooling off” period after a strike or lockout notice, to permit further negotiations between employer and employees; and, second{ another 10day period of negotiatigns with the State Labor .Counciliator, before a strike or lockout can ‘occur. The second 10-day period can be extended if both parties desire it.

Strikes Cut 44 Per Cent

In the case of strikes that would affect national defense or the public welfare or safety, there must be at least 30 days of mediation by a fact-finding commission appointed by the governor—after the 10-day J “cooling off” period. There is no compulsion ip the law for a. settlement — only for negotiations. Yet the| : theory behind the law—that if i Are allowed to cool and the disputants get together around a hr many strikes will be averted—has worked out in practice. For strikes in Minnesota were reduced 44 per cent in the first three years of the law’s operation ending | June 30, 1942, as compared with the | three previous years ending June 30, 1939. In the country as a whole, | strikes were reduced only five per cent in the same period.

Confers With Leaders

The number of employees involved in strikes was reduced¥P69 per cent in Minnesota, compared "with a two per cent reduction na-tion-wide. _ Characteristically, Governor Stassen has held conferences with labor leaders to seek their backing, if possible, for his new program of labor reforms. He finds some recognition of the value of his new Feoommendation in the fact, stressed by state labor leaders, that his proposals are already in effect in some unions, In his inauguration message, he called for “greater protection of the rights of the individual workman in his union,” and said: | ' “This could take the form of | definitely requiring some of those things which most good unions now comply with. I refer to a requirement of ‘local autonomy, of ballot |election of officers, of ballot decisions on amount of dues, of ballot decisions on strike issues, of financial reports and accounting, and.increased financial responsibility.

Hits Secondary Boycott

“I have the definite feeling that if we find the way to protect the rights of the individual man and woman in his and her own union, we need not be too concerned over the abuse of power by unions or by labor as a whole. In other “words, I have faith in the rank and file of the working people.” Abuses become rampant, he said, when “the rights of the individual members are automatically denied.” He also suggested “that with the increased direct power of labor, - there is no longer any justification for the widespread use of the indirect secondary boycott upon the necessities of life. The secondary

boycott of products of food, shelter |,

and clothing should be made an unfair labor practice. Then labor could not legally refuse to handle

food products from a! farm con-

ducted by a non-union farmer.” Lauds Labor in War

This was the source of the labor trouble, often accompanied with bloodshed, that once made the Twin

FOES OF FLYNN SEEK SUPPORT

Hope for From Doubtful Democrats

To Block Nomination.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30 (U. P.). —The fate of President Roosevelt's nomination of Edward J. Flynn as minister to Australia today appeared to rest with Democratic senatocs listed as “doubtful.” Only one of the 38 Republicans— Senator William Langer of North Dakota—will vote for confirmation and five Democrats have announced their intention to side with the opposition. That would give opponents 42 of the 49 votes needed if all 96 members participated in Monday's balloting. They expect to pick up others, perhaps enough for a majority from the following so-called “doubtful Democrats’—none of whom have announced publicly how they intend to vote: Senators Pat McCarran of Nevada, Homer T. Bone of Washington, D, Worth Clark of Idaho, Peter Gerry of Rhode Island, Joseph W. Bailey of North Carolina, Ellison D. Smith of South Carolina, Millard E. Tydings of Maryland, W. Lee O’Daniel of Texas, Elmer D. Thomas of Oklahoma, Joseph C. O'Mahoney of Wyoming, Francis Maloney of Connecticut, James O. Eastland of Mississippi and Kenneth D. McKellar and Tom Stewart. of Tennessee. Byrd Joins Opposition

Democrats who have joined the opposition are Senators. Walter F. George of Georgia, Guy M. Gillette of Iowa, Frederick VanNuys of Indiana, Burton K. Wheeler of Montana and Harry F. Byrd of Virginia. Byrd, long-time administration foe, night. “I have reached the conclusion,” he said, “that the appointment of Mr. Flynn will not be helpful to our war effort in the Pacific and will be resented by our ally, Australia, even though this government cannot express its displeasure.”

JAPS BUILDING

Made to Resist Yanks

On Guadalcanal.

By SANDOR S, KLEIN United Press Staff Correspondent - WASHINGTON, Jan. 30 (U. P), —The Japanese today were believed to be expanding their network of airfields and supply bases

Solomon islands in an effort to offset the strategic advantage enjoyed by American forces on Guadalcanal. The enemy is known to have bases on at least three of the dozen or so islands in the group and there is a suspicion that new ones are being readied on others. Apparently in an effort to hamper or thwart the enemy’s plans, American airmen from Guadalcanal Wednesday and Thursday conducted furious air assaults on Japanese naval forces and shipping in the area. : Damage Two Destroyers

They damaged two destroyers, two cargo ships and a tanker, and pounded installations on Kolombangara island, where the enemy al-

A week ago, U. S. air and surface naval forces bombarded enemy positions on Kolombangara, causing widespread fires which the navy said indicated that the “enemyheld area was tompletely burned out.” Either the navy was over-opti-mistic or the Japanese have done a fast job of reconstruction, because in Wednesday’s raid, U. S. planes found installations to bomb and started a large fire, The same day, a force of Douglas Dauntless dive bombers and Grumman Avenger torpedo planes, escorted by Grumman Wildcat fighters, set upon an enemy destroyer and a cargo ship in the Vella Gulf, just off Kolombangara. They left the cargo ship sinking and the destroyer smoking. On Thursday, a similar force of bombers, escorted by Lockheed Lightning fighters, caught another formation of Japanese ships about 15 miles northeast of Kolombangara. An enemy destroyer, a tanker and cargo ship were damaged.

Command Post Taken

Meanwhile, American forces on Guadalcanal captured a large, wellestablished enemy command post, presumably west of Kokumbona, wiped out two pockets of enemy resistance, killed 36 more Japanese, captured three prisoners and a large amount of equipment. Apparently endeavoring to relieve the pressure, the Japanese sent a force of nearly 30 fighter-escorted dive bombers and high level bombers against Guadalcanal Wednesday. American fighters shot down at least nine zeros and probably destroyed six others. Four U. S. planes are missing, but the enemy never got the chance to drop their bombs on American positions. All told, 10 zeros were shot down n the two days of air fighting, raising to 791 the total of Japanese planes destroyed in the Solomons campaign. Their ship. losses now, stand at 57 sunk, seven probably sunk and 102 famased.

WELFARE PROBERS ASK LONGER TIME

Rep. Roy J. Harrison, (R. Attica), chairman of the joint legislative committee appointed to investigate the state welfare department, said today the committee would be unable to meet the Feb. 1- deadline on

its report and would ask for more time, " The investigating committee, made up of three representatives and two senators, all Republicans, was set up by a concurrent resolution of the two houses and ordered to report by Feb. 1, Mr. Harrison said a 10-day extension probably would be sought Monday. “We already have heard a number of witnesses,” Mr. Harrison said, “but we haven't covered the ground that we want to cover before ‘submitting our findings.” Among the witnesses who have appeared before the investigating group were Thomas H. Neal, former Marion county welfare director, and Municipal Judge John Niblack,

TLE Ei ON HUON GULF

New Guinea Land Action Resumed; Jap General

Drowned in Escape.

GEN. MacARTHUR'S HEADQUARTERS, Australia, Jan. 30 (U. P.)—United States and Australian troops have heavily defeated a Japanese attack in the first battle in the Huon gulf area of New Guinea, next objective in the allied task of driving the Japanese out of the Northeast Australian zone, it was announced today. As the victory was announced, Gen. Douglas MacArthur's headquarters confirmed that Lieut. Gen, Tomatori Horii, commander in chief of the Japanese Papuan army now liquidated, had been killed— drowned while trying to escape when a raft in the turbulent Kumusi river overturned. The first Japanese attack in the Huon gulf area, where the two big enemy bases of Salamaua and Lae are situated, was made on allied

‘|outposts near Wau, 14 miles south

of the small enemy coastal base of Mubo. Strong Japanese patrols attacked the allied outposts between Wandumi, 7% miles northeast of Wau, and Kaisinek, 4% miles southeast of Wau, Wednesday afternoon. It was really a defensive move, designed to feel out allied strength in anticipation of an attack on Mubo, Salamaua and Lae. The allied outposts held fast to their positions against superior numbers throughout the night while they wirelessed for reinforcements. - The reinforcements arrived Thursday morning and by afternoon the Japanese were withdrawing in stinging defeat.

- Reserve Bricker Room

WENDELL WILLKIE is still the most burning issue in Republican party in Indiana today and State Chairman Raiph Gates is having to exert all the agility of a tight-rope walker to keep th factions from each other’s throats , . . for the remainder of legislative session at least. A couple of weeks ago the Indianapolis Republican Women's at the instance of Mrs. Grace Reynolds, G. O, P. national committeewoman and probably the state’s most ardent ' Willkieite, invited the '40 standard bearer to address a Lincoln day banquet of the club here on Feb. 11. Mr. Willkie accepted the invitation and a legislative cogmittee which had been formed to arrange for Lincoln and Washington birthday festivities immediately took advantage of the opportunity and asked him to address a joint session of the legislature, an invitation which he accepted. The G. O. P. state committee had scheduled a meeting that day and as a matter of courtesy Mr. Willkie was invited to lunch with the Hoosier party chieftains.

tend him the same courtesy was shown Governor Bricker. “The '44 field is wide open as far as I am concerned,” T, Gates said, “and all poienti candidates will be treated alike. As Republican state chairman, I have tried diligently to k things on an even keel.” The Republican Editorial sg ciation has invited Willkie-hatin Col. Robert McCormick, Chic; Tribune publisher, to be the m “speaker at its annual - meeting here on Feb. 27 to discuss the government suit against the sociated Press. » 8 =» x AND IF Col. McCormick comes, |. Mr. Gates says that he will be ine vited to attend a luncheon with the Republican state committee which always holds a meeting in conjunction with the editorial association session. . Footnote: For the first time. since he came to prominence in the Republican party, a picture of Mr. Willkie is now hanging on the walls of G. O. P. state hea quarters. : ’ _ William Murray, G. O. P, pu licity director, says the picture was hung by a committee of the office staff named by Mr. Gates to look into the matter after number of Willkieites had started

AS THE committee had held a reception two weeks earlier for another G. O. P. ’44 presidential prospect, Governor Bricker of Ohio, who was here to address the state bar association, it was decided that as a matter of fairness one should be held for Mr. Willkie. So a reception is planned for Mr. Willkie for the afternoon of Feb. 11 in Room 740 of the Claypool hotel, the same room used for Governor Bricker. No sooner had word of these plans gone out throughout the state than those numerous Hoosier Republicans who think Mr. Willkie is nothing but a disgruntled Democrat in Republican clothing began to heap criticism not only on the legislators for in=viting him but also upon Mr. Gates whom as head of the party they held responsible for the Willkie invitation, Mr. Gates even was credited in some quarters with being the person who invited Willkie,

Gates Explains

THE MATTER got to such a place, especially in Mr. Gates’ home district, the Willkie-hating fourth, that the state chairman thought it necessary to explain the situation. He said that the legislature and Mrs. Reynolds, not him, had in-’ vited Mr. Willkie and that it was only a matter of fairness to ex-

Art Students Draw Posters To Spur Drive Against Cancer

By ROSEMARY REDDING

Indiana high school art. students, armed with paint - brushes, are forming legions to help in the fight against cancer.

In one of the first-state high

the United States, a large number of themare presenting their conception of the slogan “Fight Cancer With Knowledge.” You can see the outstanding examples of their work: from Feb, 8

The contest was sponsored by the Women’s Field’ Army for ihe Control of Cancer as one of the mediums through which it hopes to stimulate public ‘ interest in the subject of cancer control.

Response Exceeds Hopes

If the posters arouse as much interest among spectators as the contest did among students, the Indiana braneh of .the cancer army, will be highly pleased. For the response, both in quantity and quality, of the student’s work was beyond the expectations of the branch's officials.

Posters designed by Marion county students arrived yesterday and today at the branch’s headquarters in the Claypool. : Tomorrow morning, they will be judged by Dr. Karl Ruddell, George Jo Mess, Miss Anna Hasselman and Damien J. Lyman. Similar judgings are being held in four other sections of the state. Winners from the various sections will later compete in a state contest. Prize winners, together with 15 honorary mentions, will be included in the exhibit at Ayres.

Originality Counts

Prizes are being awarded on the basis of ' originality of thought, strength of design and simplicity. And it looks like the judges are going to have a hard time in making their decisions. 3 The poster contest rules asked that students convey. the idea of hope and courage that cancer can be fought with knowledge. Students could use the cancer control insignia—the drawn sword—and the slogan—"“Enlist in the Indiana Division for Cancer Control.” But the posters of county students already coming in show that they have gone beyond that. They seemed
