Knifing Each Other
But Lewis realized this was fine
ammunition. So he quickly dispatched
a letter to Hillman protesting against
these charges of "practical disloyalty
and political non-conformity” of a
CIO union. Such a thing, of course,
would be impossible. But the letter'
to Hillman was just a formality. The
real purpose in writing it was quickly
revealed. Lewis sent copies of the

What was the significance of this
action? The intention, of course, was
to accuse Hillman of disoyalty to the
CIO. Lewis thought he could get the
CIO brothers and sisters sore at Hill-
man. The latter, however, was not

An fllustration of the sacrifices a
People must face to carry on a mod-
ern war is seen in the present taxes
levied on the people of Great Britain.
There the base income tax rate is 42.5
per cent, while in the United States it
is still only 4 per cent for individuals
in the lower income brackets.
British corporations pay 42.5 per
cent of their net income, besides an
excess profits tax which takes 100 per
cents of their ncome above that earned
as an average in pre-war years. In the
case of individuals, income exempt
from the income tax is only 3500. and
surtaxes run to 90 per cent of all in-
come above $80,000 a year.
On top of all ths, Britain imposes
a sales tax of 12 per cent on all goods
except food, and a 24 per cent tax on
luxuries. The total tax on a package
of cigarettes is 29 cents.
The British government has figured
that if it confiscated all individual in-
comes over 38,000 it would collect
only about 280 milion dollars a year
more than it does now.
The foregoing will give some idea
of the burdens the Britsh are bearing
i their efforts to save civilization
from Hitler, to say nothing of their
losses of life and limb, or the mental
anguish which they suffer day and
Fhe individual who wants to advance his business,
does it by paying union dues in return for which he
gets services, by electing representatives to carry on
collective bergaining for him, by attending union
meetings so as to get reports on what his representa-
tives have been doing, by determining policies to be
followed by his representatives and by continuously
checking up on union business to see that it moves for-
ward effectively and expeditiously.
No union will take care of itself. If union members
do not do their part they are creating an opportunity
for those who prey on the union movement. It is much
easier to keep questionable people from getting into
office than it is to purge a union from their domina-
tion.

Upon the individual union members rests respon-
sibility for union destiny. Attendance at meetings
understanding the detail of union business, prompt
payment of dues and performance of duties when re-
quested, are the common duties of all union members.

ing to get Lewis in wrong.
This sort of surreptitious knifing
has been going on for some time and
before long some one is going to get
hurt.
At the last CIO convention, Hill-
man dared to object to Lewis’ refusal
to continue peace negotiations with
the AFL and he also complained about
Communist Influence In CIO head-
quarters. This was done behind the
closed doors of the CIO executive
board meeting. Lewis got so angry
he threatened to resign as CIO Presi-
dent and that gesture promptly
squashed all opposition.
This year, we predict that if Lewis
tries the same dodge his resignation
will be gratefully accepted.

well as those of Nazi Germany and
Fascist Italy.
Who Will Be Purged!
But more than all of this, the feud
between the two men has now become
implacable because Hillman refuses
to take orders from Lewis and is pur-
suing a completely independent course.
No one- can do that and remain on
good terms with Lewis. Throughout
his career he has demanded complete
subservience from all his followers.
He has kicked out life-long friends
for a mere, momentary deviation from
his personal policies. He Is now try-
ing to kick out Hillman.
But Hillman is evidently not going
to submit quietly to a purge. If Lewis
ousts him, Hillman is determined to
take other CIO unions with him.
Thus a bitter war is now smolder-
ing within the ranks of the CIO lead-
ership. It flared into public notice
a few days ago over an incident in
connection with the defense program.
In his capacity as labor co-ordi-
nator for the National Defense Ad-
visory Commission, Hillman appoint-
ed a labor advisory committee of six-
teen members to consult with him and
to help keep labor disputes from re-
tarding the defense program. On this 1
committee were seven representatives
from AFL unions, seven from CIO
Unions and two from independent
railroad brotherhoods.
Characteristically, Lewis was not
satisfied with this arrangement which |
was more than fair to the CIO because
the CIO has one member to every four
of the American Federation of Labor.
So when James J. Matles, organiza-
tion director of the CIO United Elec- I
trical. Radio and Machine Workers, 1
squawked over Hillman's failure to
appoint a representative of his union ,
to the committee, Lewis quickly
sought to ritake political capital out
of the complaint within the CIO or-

W AGE earners employed in industry are in busi-
If ness. Your specific business is to advance your
material well-being so that you and your family
may have better standards of living and savings for

well-being you do through your union because you
cannot do it as individuals.
An open break between Sidney Hill-
man and John L. Lewis fa imminent.
It is obvious now that the# are se-
cretly working agalust each other for
control of the CIO. They are each
seeking to line up support among CIO
affiliates for a showdown fight which
will take place at the next CIO con-
vention, if not before.
Their differences are basic and ir-
reconcilable. Organizationally, Lewis
wants—as he always has wanted—to
destroy the American Federation of
Labor and become a one-man dictator
over American labor. Hillman, o. the
other hand, appears to be anxious for
labor peace and a reunited labor
movement.
Politically, the split between the
two CIO leaders is even wider. Lewis
hates Roosevelt and is willing to pay
even the Communist Party's game in
a desperate effort to beat the Presi-
dent. Hillman adores Roosevelt and
he wants to commit the entire CIO
organization to support the New Deal.
Philosophically, they no longer see
eye to eye. Lewis( always contemp-
tuous of the democratic process, ad-
mires and wishes-to emulate the inhu-
man efficiency of dictatorship. Events
in Europe have not disgusted him.
They have inspired him to pull a
blitzkrieg of his own here. Hillman,
however, is overcome with revulsion
