HISTORY IS REPEATING

& HILIP MURRAY of the C. I. O. and George Meany of the A. F. of L. declared war last night against President Truman's request for’ mild legislation intended to protect the country from the consequences of unrestrained ‘industrial battles. We believe that Mr. Murray, Mr. Meany and other ‘Tabor leaders who take their postions, are now going to learn a painful lesson. For we remember how, not many years ago, the orsganized prohibition: forces bullied and browbeat presidents fand congresses: And we remember how their arrogant bluff finally was called—and how the Bishop Cannons, the Wayne B. Wheelers and the Anti-Saloon league then got their comeuppance. That history, we think, is now about to repeat. In r opinion the blustering Murray and Meany speeches will tally overwhelming support to Mr. Truman. “Congress, we believe, will pass the legislation asked for by the President and the American people—including great numbers of labor union members—will welcome this Action, the dictatorial labor leaders will be brought down

complete in itself right from the beginning like Pallas Athene, or whoever it was that emerged clad in full armor from the head of Zeus. ; Be that as it may, Mr. Schmidt's stable was the grandest sight this town ever had, or ever will have for that matter. And I think it was generally so acknowledged because, when President Grover Cleveand his bride visited Indianapolis in 1887, everytook it for granted that the best way to show them a good time was to haul them around in a carriage pulled by six of Mr. Schmidt's brewery horses.

Majestic Tempo of Gait TO MY knowledge nothing has ever equaled—let alone, surpassed—-those six horses. They were of the Percheron type picked for size, color and gait. Their habitual gait, I remember, was about the tempo of the third movemerit (maestoso andante) of Beethoven’s Opus 26. I never saw their majestic tempo matched by any other six horses and, of course not, by human beings unless, perchance, it was the dignifled measured tread of Judge E. R. Martindale,
