Editorial Correspondence
Boston, Mass., Nov. 4 To paraphrase a well known motor
oar slogan:
"If worse weather la ever produced Boston will produce ltl"
Rain yesterday, snow today, snow coming down in large lazy
flakes, with everything so inky black at noon that the street lights
are burning.
Before the rain set In, the official weather report was "(sir

Square and walked to Nea th Station. We won't try to set a date
for our last visit to Scollay Square! Aside from the change of the
Scollay Square theatre from a charming old "opree house" where
the hero always chased the villain, and the villain chased the poor
working girl, to a gaudy movie palace showing "The House on
92nd St." Scollay Square has changed very little. It Is far more
"Old English" and foreign today
9
The old North Station has changed completely, however. In
fact it isn't there. We failed even to find the B. and M. train to
Lowell Junction and Andover the place being crowded and dirty
and well plastered with servicemen sleeping on the benches,
awaiting, we suspect, the next train to Maine!

We took the "L" for a ride around town and spying the Bunker
Hill monument over the dingy roofs on'the port side, decided to
look it over once more, our former visit there going back even
further than North Station. Either we have forgotten what it was
like or Bunker Hill has deteriorated through the years a very
sad, messy and depressing scene

the story about the distinguished British statesman who visited
Bunker Hill and seeing the stone marker stating "Here Maior War
ren Fell," looked at the top of the monument, carefully measured
the distance to the ground, and remarked "Killed him of kawse!"
We remember the story of
school book the "Boys of '76" and the picture of the Redcoats (they
were Hessians or German mercenaries) coming up the hill In solid
marching formation with absurb "pope's hats" on their heads, and
meeting tne devastating fire of the U. S. colonials, who were told
not to fire until they could see the "whites of the enemy's eyes"
and by doing so won a great victory.
Of course all that was a lot of unadulterated whangdoodle.
The great victory we mean. It was the first organized resist
ance offered In the defense of Boston, but the FATHERS of the
American revolution were the ones who retreated, and the British
didn't then gained the vantage point, not Bunker Hill incidently
but Breed's Hill.
However, our forefathers won the war, and the British lost It,
which made a heap of difference one hundred and seventy years
ago as It does now. - We mean as to how history was written,
a a e a e
A great many years ago the Bunker Hill district was no doubt
a desirable residence district of Charlestown, for there are many
old "brown-stone fronts" thereabouts with brass nameplates on the
doors. But it Is no longer. It is akin to slums. The Charlestown
high school, across the street from the monument was letting out
as we returned, the boys and girls trooping home, most of the
boys smoking cigarettes and spitting through their teeth, and the
girls dowdy but many busy with make-up kits. None looked fit
in good health, or good spirits. One boy and girl went off arm-in-arm
while their school mates hooted!
a a a a a
School was out, also, for the grades. And strolling back to
the "L" station we ran into a typical school boy fight, reminded
us of the Garrison school back in Rockford, 111., a few decades ago
make It FIVE!
This was an unusually good one, however.
We don't know Just what started the fracas but as we arrived.
a rather pale, delicate-looking lad in knickers waded into a short
stocky one In cords and sweater who must have out-weighed him
by 20 pounds, and proceeded to trip him up and throw him to the
cement sidewalk. There they rolled about, one up and then the
other, but the pale slim one finally came oiit on top, twisted his
feet around his opponents legs in approved Mack Lillard style,
pinned his opponent's hands down and proceeded to bump sharply
up and down on his mid-section.
Quite a crowd of school children gathered. One of the boys
tried to pull the lean lad off his victim, whereupon another piled
Into him, and it looked like a free-for-all for a time but eventually
It was reduced once more to the boy In knickerbockers and the boy
In cords, with the former still on top.
Well, at this point we shall pay tribute to the Irish. This
section of Charlestown Is Irish and these lads were Irish and the
Irish do love to fight. And they are game. We have never seen
a yellow Irishman yet. 'This boy in cords for example.
He never had a chance with his slim adversary but he never
quit trying and he never squawked.
about 15 or 20 minutes of struggle with the slim lad on top of him
and the unyielding cement walk beneath he did pat the mat ad
mit he had had enough.
The winner arose slowly and carefully disengaging himself
with one arm free ready for action then jumped to his feet, still
ready for action. But there was none. The lamer bov lust' re-
laxed on the cement with his eyes closed and breathing hard we
imagine he felt like crying but he didn't. We walked away and
when we looked back, believe It or not, the two combntanta were
crossing the street, the slim boy with his arm around the other!
That too, is Irish.
During this encounter, several
combative pair, giving them barely
the beat also passed showing more
to Interfere. We have an idea In
is an unwritten law not to Interfere In school-bov fisticuffs

Asking
Queries from clients: Q. How
many children Is it possible for
one woman to have? A. That I
couldn't say. However, it la a
matter of record that In Russia
in 1757 a woman summoned to
the court of the Empress Cath
erine was the mother of fifty-
seven children, all living. There
were four sets of quadruplets,
seven sets of triplets, ten sets of
twins. Q. Have you anything in
your Horses and Women files
about greeneyed dishwater
blondes with dish pan hands?
Our H 4c W experts say dish
water blondes, no matter what
color eyes they have, usually
suffer from an Inferiority com
plex. A woman who speaks bit
terly of her "dish pan hands"
Is usually one who is Inclined
to spend a lot of time feeling
sorry for herself. A martyr
type.

Mr. and Mrs. Herman Rackov

Rasputin.
Things Seen
"In Los Angeles," says a
Californian, "I saw a man walk
ing along the street nonchalant
ly smoking three cigarettes at
the same time." Very interest
ing. I can't top it. However, I
once saw a man and a dog
walking along Broadway, Man
hattan, and the dog was smok
ing a pipe, and I'm not kidding.
It was a ballyhoo for a brand of
pipe tobacco.
Twins
"So you challenge people to
name twins wno nave been
successful," writes a Bostonian.
'Laraine Day, the successful
movie actress, is one of twins.'
Please Note
A red-haired subscriber
claims that in a recent survey a
group of department store exe
cutives voted red-heads made
the best saleswomen. Haven't
heard of this survey. Our Horses
and Women department is
checking on It. However, I have
heard personnel experts prefer
blondes and red-heads as sales
women because they "light up"
the store and make the atmos
phere seem more cheerful.
Briefly
You have heard of those

News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
Washington, Nov. 12 How
men massed in unions are made
to work against their own best
interest to the
damnation of
the rights of
the people can
be seen in the
inside story of
the Washing
ton bus and

strike on the
very day of
the labor

ing here.
For 34 hours the transporta
tion system of the nation's cap
ital was completely stopped.
Government employes managed
to get to work and back be
cause everyone who had a car
brought it out, and others
hitch-hiked, but hours were re
quired for many, some not get
ting home to dinner until after
9 p. m., or to work until noon,
and a few being forced to walk
the miles to and from.
News pictures were present
ed showing Waves or Wacs
smiling and thumbing rides,
and Jokes were printed about
the fellows who owned cars
waiting for the prettiest girls,
but the public was angry, si
lently, glumly, perplexedly
angry.
How could they be otherwise
when no one mentioned or con
sidered their rights to public
utility service from beginning
to end? Public, press and gov
ernment, in awe of this defiant
power of the union, suffered
with a passive fear in a spirit
that this was a contest of labor

and capital Into which It could
not plunge or assert itself.
And for what? This is how
it happened:
An unannounced after-mid
night meeting of the street car
and bus workers was called In
a burlesque -theater. Many
showed up with a half pint, or
more to see the night througn
It was a secret meeting from
which the press and public
were excluded. The morning
papers the day of the strike
carried no warning In home
delivery editions.
The workers voted It sudden
ly around S a. m. The first the
average citizen heard of it was
when he arrived at his street
or bus station to find queues of
people waiting. The strike had
been called on a publlc-be-
damned policy.
This was not a wild or new
union, but an old, established
A. F. of L. crowd, frequently
called conservative. Due to
war, it has many new women
and men members, because the
women have filled In to drive
the electric cars. At the secret
meeting, my government-ob
server informants tell me, the
women were the extremists
They spoke and yelled louder
than the men.
Indeed after the walkout had
been voted, the meeting re
fused to listen to any reason
able voice of top national un
ion leaders (who did not go in)
or government authorities who
tried to address the gathering
and were shouted down. Pub
lished pictures show the em
ployes in their continuous ses
sion, glowering with rage,
a a a
THE strike embarrassed the
national union chiefs, who
recognized it. as did everyone,
as an ironical comment on the
labor-management conference.
Management, however, sat back
and looked at union discomfort
in natural glee.
Now you might reasonably
suspect the timing of this strike
was for that purpose. My in
formants, who are as highly
placed on the inside of the sit
uation as it is possible to be,
tell me no.
They think the employes just
became obsessed with a desire
to assert their power, particu
larly against the Truman ad
ministration and its national
labor relations board as well as
against the national union big
shots assembled for the labor
management conference. This
was the key and secret behind
the whole affair, not being pub
lished or publicly mentioned by
anyone.
a a a
TRUTH Is the union wage de-
mand was a long-running
case, twice decided by the war
labor board. On the first try for
a 30 cents-an-houn increase, the
company offered 5 cents, but
WLB threw the case out. In the
second try, WLB authorized a
7 cents-an-hour Increase dis-1
guised as a bonus and the com-
pany agreed. j
Backed by such a decision, i
the company naturally would
not, and Indeed, could not go
further, while the union per
sisted In demanding 30 cents
(really not expecting to get
that much).
A strike called at such a time
naturally could not be success
ful. By the second day, the men
had lost their appetite to assert
their power. They welcomed
government conciliators for the
arbitration they had spurned.
I suspect Mr. Truman's smart
new labor-advisor-in-the-back-ground,
John R. Steclman, who
knows labor more objectively
than any man in the country,
nM;otiated the settlement from
his White House obscurity. And
what did the unions, get? A two
weeks' truce to talk the matter
over. The strike was wasted,
utterly wasted.
Only sufferer was the public,
the common man and woman
worker, indeed the least well
paid worker who could not af
ford a car, and the army and
navy people and others who
could not get one during the
war shortage. I wonder when
their silent anger will burst. It
will one day.

The Greater Danger
To the Editor:
In Thursday's paper a letter
advised against peacetime mili
tary training because Hitler had
favored it; and therefore if we
train, we will tend to become
- MORRIS
Whit
aggressors. But I do not be
lieve that danger compares with
the danger of being terribly
whipped, if we are not trained
and prepared to act as a member
of the United Nations, to stop
any possible aggressor at the
vrrv afart. We hoDe that the
peacelovlng nations will be so
strong that no aggressor win
dare even to start.
At the same time we must do
all nosslble to remove the
causes of war. It is just silly to
Knv a fine new fire engine and
then throw matches around in
dry timber. Hoping there win
be no fires or just "thinking
peace" Is not enough.
We live In One world ana
until all peoples have a chance
to make a decent living, war Is
always In the background. We
must give the other fellow a
Krf-nlr fnr Instance lower and
eventually remove all tariffs so
that there can be a iree now oi
wealth created.
Such adjustments will be diffi
cult, they will be opposed Dy
short-sighted selfish interests,
and will cost money, but they
must come. These basic prin
ciples were advocated two
thousand years ago. but we have
been slow to see that this way
of life is not only the best but
the onlv wav that civilization
can continue to exist.
T holi-v the atomic bomb has
waked a lot of folks to the abso

Lest We Forget
To the Editor:
Your Issue of November 1
published a letter from a Med-
ford citizen in which he advo
cated compulsory military train
ing and peace-time conscription
of human resources only.
He made much of three points
which he set forth as conclusive
evidence that the. conscription
thing Is a move in the right
direction following the right
path.
It s remarkable now cioseiy
the argument presented In these
three points follows Herr Hit
ler's ideas and reasoning on the
some subject. In fact, the three
points referred to could have
been lifted from Hitler s "Mem
Kampf."
It Is not this writers purpose
to impugn motives. Nevertheless
this idea of peace time conscrip
tion should be very carefully
and thoroughly analyzed to the
end that the interests of all the
neoDle be not mistaken for the
interests of those who would
impose Hitler's ideas and meth
ods upon us. We have just com
pleted a "fight for freedom to
prevent fascism and nazi-lsm
from gaining a footnoio in
America. Let's never forget
that.
