DUTY FOR MINE OWNERS

BEFORE and during the recent coal strike there were many reports that at least some of the private mine owners were willing to negotiate with John L. Lewis "and

control of their properties. 2 Lewis, in calling off the strike, said he was now willing to negotiate a new wage agreement either with an authorjzed government agency or with the private operators. He set a new deadline—March 31, 1947—implying that he would call another strike if no new agreement had been made by that date. Of course, he will have no more moral right in March than he had in November to call a strike - against the present government contract with the union, And there is now reason to hope that before the end of March a supreme court decision or action by congress, or both, will have given the country clear legal protection from such abuses of unionism’s monopolistic power as the recent Lewis strike. . But no chances should be taken. It is desirable to get the government out of the coal business, and the mines back into private operation, at the earliest possible date. And it is undesirable for the government to negotiate another contract with the union. We think the private owners should not sit back and wait for action by the supreme court or congress. After all, if they want to remain mine owners, it's up to them to settle their own labor controversies. They should state their willingness to negotiate with the union now, and they should make an honest effort to reach a reasonable agreement well before March 31. ins

OUR RETREAT IN CHINA

FOR six months American Consul Edmund O. Clubb has been waiting in Nationalist China for permission to proceed to his assigned post in Communist-held Harbin. He has been denied a passport by Li Li-san, chief of the foreign affairs department of Communist headquarters in Manchuria. "And who is Li Li-san?

An iron curtain falls, and the rest of the world is shut out. Yet, with this object lesson before it, the state department continues to demand that Chiang Kai-shek invite the Communists te join in the government of independent Nationalist China. on Not only are we pressing Chiang to compromise with the Communists, but Red sympathizers in the state department meanwhile have so neutralized our position in China that our support of the recognized government has become purely nominal.

An ill-advised appeasement policy, which paid no dividends, made Red puppet states out of Poland, Yugoslavia, Czechoslavakia, Romania, Bulgaria and Albania. But considerations of expediency cannot excuse our retreat in China. Responsibility for that must be charged up to intrigues in the state department and to a yielding by the administration to the propaganda of the Communists and fellow travelers in this country. In the absence of any disavowal of Mr. Vincent's remarks, it must be concluded that his repudiation of the Chinese government reflected official United States policy. If that is a correct assumption, it will be our fault, and ours alone, if in the days to come the open door to China is closed by another iron curtain.

THE PLACE TO START

ECRETARY BYRNES has presented a sound, commonsense proposal to the governments of Russia, Britain and France in his recommendation for an immediate, drastic reduction in allied occupational forces in Germany, Austria, Poland and the Balkans. : There isn’t much point in seeking agreement upon such long-range projects as atomic energy control unless there can be a meeting of minds on the simple, clear-cut proposition Mr. Brynes has submitted. : The first cut suggested by Mr. Byrnes would bring the combined occupational forces in the areas named to a total ‘of 620,000 men on April 1, 1947. A second reduction would cut the forces by another fourth or third before April 1, 1048, “subject to such earlier withdrawal from Austria, ngary and Romania as may be required by the Austreaty.” Under the Byrnes program, the Soviet Union would be d a maximum of 240,000 troops on European occuial duty after April 1, this year, a larger force than th allied nation, and certainly one sufficient to meet

In regard to your editorial on floors and ceilings, there is another side of the picture that is not known by the general public which I would like to correct. Let it be said, however, if any one in Indiana cannot stand fair competition he should get out of busi. ness. Small manufacturers have had this fair practices law passed for the reason that they know they would soon be at the mercy of the large distributors if the independent merchant is put out of ‘business. I have known this thing to happen in a good many caesés and you will quite frequently notice in normal times where advertisements state that prices are only good at a certain store. In my opinion, a law should be passed which would eompel all large outfits, which have two stores or more to sell at the same price all over the state, Some adjustments would have to be made in the case of perishable goods or where there is a difference in freight rates. The fair practice law was passed to prevent the large distributors from using the small | manufacturer's products. as a foot- | ball, and I believe it is a good law except it does not cover enough: territory.

OUR TOWN... By poten Scare i % Spiegel & Thoms Antiques in Attic? |

IT WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME to learn some day

that most of the furniture stored in Indianapolis attics came from Spiegel & Thoms. They started their business sometime around the beginning of thé Civil war in a little shop on E Washington st. In the course of _ the next two years (circa 1863), they were doing so well that they had ‘to look for bigger quarters: That's when they moved to the intersection of East st, and Pogue's . run. Three years later, they built the first five-story house in Indianapolls. In. 1876, they again doubled their capacity. This time they erected a five-story building on W. Washington st. on a site opposite the present Indiana theater, The property ran through to Kentucky ave. which, of course, doubled their show window space, toe. The curious thing about Spiegel & Thoms was the way they kept pace with the growth of the eity. When they started business, Indianapolis had a population of somewhere around 20,000. Ten years later

when. we had 40,000..people, Spiegel & Thoms had a. .

building twice as big, too. And when the census of 1880 revealed 75,056, doggone if Spiegel & Thoms didn’t anticipate the count with double the area of show windows. They must have had one finger on the pulse of Indianapolis all the time they were in business.

Crisis in Scherrer Home

I GUESS IT WAS ABOUT 10 years after Spiegel & Thoms got going good in their five-story building on W. Washington st. that I first saw the inside of their magnificent store. I never saw the like. You could get anything from a cradle to a double bed. And what was even more remarkable was the fact that you could have your pick of any number of styles and in almost any kind of wood.

IN WASHINGTON . . . By Parker La Moore China Policy Clarification Needed

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—A showdown has been invited on the American policy toward China, in a letter to Secretary Byrnes from the American China Policy association. i Secretary Byrnes was asked if recent statements by John Carter Vincent, director of Far Eastern affairs in the state department, reflected official U. S. policy.

wk

Now Encourages Communists

MR. VINCENT, in a speech which invited the attention of the association, implied that he regarded it as unsound to invest public or private capital in China because of corruption in business and official circles, and because the Nationalist government was sald to be “wasting its substance on excessive armament.” This attitude, the China Policy association points out, is. at sharp variance with the view of Lt. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer, who commanded the American forces in the China theater during the final phase of the war. In a speech in October, Gen. Wedemever said: “I am confident that if he were given the full support of his allies, the support that I feel his loyalty and his unstinting assistance during the war days fully merit, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek would evole a solution to the political and economic problems that confront his country today and establish. a happy, prosperous, united and democratic China.” Gen. Wedemeyer was chief of staff to Chiang and certainly few Americans in official life are more intimately acquainted with the head of the Chinese state, or in a better position to evaluate his capacity and integrity.

finally has settled upon a firm line in opposition Communist expansion elsewhere in er > policy in China consistently has encouraged the Communist rebels there and has indicated a disposition to desert the Chinese Nationalists, now that the war is over. We have not subjected other allied nations, includ» ing Russia, to’ the same acid test which the state department's Far Eastern division seeks to apply to China in extension of relief and financial assistance. Our wavering attitude toward the Chiang regime is in marked contrast to the British attitude toward Greece, similarly threatened by Russian domination. It would almost appear that the United States wanted Russia to extend its broadening sphere of influence over the Orient. China must spend much of its substance for arma+ ments, as the China Policy association makes clear, because the government is threatened by an armed Communist insurrection. The alternative would be surrender, and probably the shift of another 450 mils lion people into the Russian orbit. :

Up to Administration Leaders MR. VINCENT'S sympathies with the Yenan rebellion in China, and the precision with which his statements conform.to the policies laid down in the Communist press, are self-evident,” the China association's letter said. It urged Mr. Byrnes to disavow this hostile attitude toward a traditional friend and ally. In any event, the secretary of state now has an opportunity to make it clear whether Mr. Vincent speaks for himself or for the state department as well in indicating that the United States is walking out on

It is a curious fact that while American policy Hons. And if he doesn’t do so, Mr. Truman should.

Come in, Superman: “I am writing you personally to ask you to join a special selected group of listeners to my radio program, in receiving a new private service, which I feel will of enormous valile to you. “I don’t think I need tell you that there are: many startling pieces of information, which come to my attention constantly, and which I cannot use on the air! » “I am going to issue, therefore, a regular. monthly newsletter, ‘The Johannes Steel Report on World Affairs; which will present to this selected group... an analysis of all essential information, news and trends, in the fast moving world we live in today. “This ‘service will give you in quick, easy-to-grasp form, the true meaning of everything going on in the world . . . through more than 10 years of constant broadcasting I have built up a world-wide nel of correspondents second to none, and my office has the facilities to gather and present the real inside stories. . . ."

British Labor Shuns Closed Shop Test

~ LONDON, Dec. 11.—The Labor government and a majority of union leaders here are opposing efforts to

make the closed shop a national issue. The majority labor attitude is that unionism'’s

greatest strength is in voluntary membership.

Government Straddles Fence AN AGGRESSIVE MINORITY is now threatening strikes to enforce the closed shop. This has brought a hostile public reaction embarrassing “to the gov-

ernment. Three" cabinet officers have made highly critical comments, But the government as such has refrained from a flat policy statement in hopes that the matter would blow over. Pressure from both sides, however, may force the government statement soon. ; The at's official position is that this question properly should be left to the collective bargaining machinery of individual unions and employers the same as in other disputes, and the less governmental interference the better. This attitude, however, is modified by two factors, One is the Labor cabinet’s adherence to British unionism’s traditional distrust of the closed-shop principle. Secondly; the Labor cabinet i unwilling to permit the closedshop fight to interfere with essential public services. The recent annual meeting of the trades union congress, while not eondemning the principle directly, refused to indorse the closed, shop. Instead, it reaffirmed its support of “100 per cent trade unlonism—

this based on a voluntary rather than a compulsory principle. Current cases which provoke public wrath and cabinet displeasure involve hospital staffs and municipal transport workers. Municipal councils and boards have been passing resolutions requiring employees to belong to a union. Some specify the union. When two doctors, two matrons and 48 nurses of Willesden municipal and maternity hospitals received dismissal notices because they were not union mempers, Health Minister Bevin condemned the municipal - board in parliament. He then issued a directive that - membership in the union or professional association “is a matter that should not be determined by unilateral action by local authorities.” "Herbert Morrison, lord president of the council,’ was even more scornful. In a public speech he said - local authorities were “foolish to be messing about with this.” . Other current cases involve the threatened strike of 2500 electrical workers of London's underground rallway to enforce a closed shop. The strike was called off with the voluntary resignation of one worker who refused to join the union for conscientious reasons.

Employers Criticized : MINISTER OF LABOR ISAACS in commons de=: plored ‘the “uniiatéral action by individual employers regarding trade union membership of their employees.” Mr. Isaacs/added: “I'm using what little influence I have with the organizations concerned to avert these
