AHO won and lost in the CIO strike now
W fortunately at an end after seven weeks?
On the surface, the answer might well be
that everybody lost. Employes of the com
panies took a beating in seven
weeks' loss or disruption of em
ployment Companies lost the
production of materials they
sell. The union failed to gain
its declared objective of union
shop. The general public felt
the economic blow.
The debit side of the ledger
thus looks pretty heavy. Bu
there is a brighter side.
Out of the settlement ot thi
dispute came clarification of a
matter that has been a source "
of disagreement and uncertainty
time. That concerns the union
maintenance provision that was set up by direc
tive some time ago, and which has been
amended as a basis of the settlement of this
strike.
Maintenance of membership means that man
agement will require that employes already
in the union remain in good union standing if
they retain their Jobs. The troublesome ques
tion here was just who is in the union, and
who is not In other words, which employes
were required to maintain their-union stand
ing; to keep their jobs,, and which--were free
of that requirement. Union and management
bad disagreed over the status of a number of
men, and the thing had never been fully
clarified by the government agency which di
rected union membership maintenance be made
a part of the working arrangement between
company and union. . .
New Clause
4 HEN union and management announced
VV settlement of the strike at Weyerhaeuser,
wauna and Kesterson, they stated that a sub
stitute; clause concerning union maintenance '
had been agreed upon. :
This substitute clause, as shown in a leaflet
handed Weyerhaeuser employes today, provides
that as a condition of continued employment,
every employe who confirms his membership in
the union as of October 20, 1945, or becomes a
News Behind The News
. . " By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, Sept 27 The local sect
of officials' who have been developing a
theory that peace can be obtained only by
giving things to Russia and Britain and making
them, happy,, is now in meditative silence,
momentarily at least.
Mr. Truman quieted the cabinet dispute about
giving the atomic bomb to Russia by personally
'assuming responsibility for a future decision.
He also carefully fended off the ton of brickbats
already in full flight toward the skull of Com
merce Secretary Wallace by saying Mr. Wallace
had not "insisted" upon the gift, but he did
not' say Wallace had not advocated such a
course.
No Gift For Reds
MX well-chaired informants say this means
Russia does not get the bomb, at least not
now, and not ever for sheer appeasement pur
poses. Why should she? What justifies such
a gift? To what use does she propose to put
the bomb, certainly not to bring the four free
doms to -the Balkans, Poland and Finland or
anywhere. Indeed, not to promote any Truman
international .policies or purpose expressed at
the London council of ministers. All our Ideas
were firmly turned down by Molotov according
to reports the same day at the cabinet meeting.
What good use could she thus possibly make
of the bomb?
EPLEY But more, I suspect the whole school . of
for a long' Wallace thouKht of peace by appeasement is
membership ', breaking up. More .officials here think we
ought to get something in return for giving.
They want to make appeasement sound, by
making it twosided. They would like to see
us win some points somewhere before doling
out the money as well as the bomb. -
New Turn For Britain .
THE dickering over the money for Britain
has taken a half right-turn in this direction.
Lords Keynes and Halifax came in for their
billions (without interest) with hats upended,
ready to carry it away. Unfortunately they
had left at home all their experts on empire
preference tariffs discriminating against us, and
such related trade matters which might afford
us an opportunity to get something. Will Clay
ton, head of our delegation, said no business
could be talked without these men. So these
experts are now on their way from London,
while Keynes is holding luncheons and Halifax
is otherwise propagandizing in favor of Britain
getting the money without giving anything
interest, repayment guarantees or trade con
cessions. (Incidentally Britain's best friends are
telling Halifax the propaganda is the worst the
wily British have ever presented in this coun
try, running now as it does to tearful stories
about the war widows and orphans as if this
advance were a charity to them rather than
financing for 'socialism.) ..

member of the union after that date, shall be GlarinQ Flaw
required to maintain his membership in good ,,, "
standing. r a
The clear purpose of- this agreement Is to
give employes a chance to declare themselves
definitely in or to remain outside of the
union. Those union membership declarations,
made in writing to the company through the
union, will then be made the basis of applying
the union membership maintenance provision
to ' employes.
Those who declare themselves union men or
women must remain in good union standing to
keep their jobs. Those who fail to do so will
not come under the maintenance of member
ship clause.
Everybody May Gain
rHIS arrangement is definitely on the side of
personal freedom for the employes.
Offhand, it might seem' unfavorable to the
unions, which usually are anxious to require
union membership as a condition of employ
ment. That would haye been- definitely the .
case for all employes, had union shop been
established. .' ." .
However, one is led to wonder if the union,
in the long run,' will not benefit by the new
clause. It should remove-the feeling among
workers that they are being forced to do any
thing, by- company or . union. It will make
their union membership strictly voluntary, and
that should result, in1 increased loyalty and
interest in union affairs.
It puts the union in the position, of saying to
a worker: - r
"Nobody is forcing you to Join .anything, but
by gosh, our union arid unionism have done a
lot for working people,' and you ought to give
the union the benefit of your membership and
support. How about coming-in' of 'your own
freewill?" ' : ' ' . . :
Maybe we are haywire- In' our thinking, but
that kind of appeal would mean a lot to us.
It would attract us in the direction of union
membership, and if we Joined, it would make
us a better union man.-. -" " '. .
In addition to eliminating a bone of con
tention between union and management and a
THE glaring flaw In .the theory of appease-
I ment as a. method of keeping the peace is
that we have received no guarantees yet estab-
. lishing the good will or worthiness of those to
be appeased... Indeed, quite the opposite, our
position is being kicked around by both Russia
' and Britain (see LaskI speeches and Pravda
articles.) . '
Basic Argument '
rIS week Pravda, for example, developed
the same 'basic argument on the Medi
terranean, used by Mussolini, in precisely the
same words: "Not a single-geography book says
the Mediterranean is a British sea." The League
of Nations appeased Mussolini with Ethiopia,
etc., but it did not prove an effective way of
preserving peace, any more than greater ap-
. peasement worked later with Hitler. He ap
peased himself up : from nothing to strength
enough to try to lick us. '
We also tried exactly the same. kind of ap
peasement toward Japan sending her oil and
scrap iron to make her happy. It did not
work. Never has the blind and simple dis
tribution of largesse to nations ever caused
them to be either happy ' or . friendly. 1 Peace
cannot be soundly established that way. To.
endure, it must have the backing of mutual
desire for it and be grounded' in. joint in
terest which can come only through just and
sound dealing. No . other . impetus can keep
alive any peace deal. -
Not A Policy -
APPEASEMENT thus has never justified it
self as a policy, and furthermore is not
popular in this country; A magazine recently
reported a plurality of Americans polled think
"It is important for the U. S. to be on friendly
terms with Russia, but not so important that
we should make too many concessions to her."
Our broad policy has grounds therefore for
turning to ex-post facto appeasement giving
the money, the bomb and other things after
we get solid ground established to justify such
confidence. . .. ." ' ,

JUST IN TIME to serve the new cars of peace
time production, as well as those highway vet
. crans which must survive a few more thousand
miles, comes this good news: Wartime research
found how to make motor oil resist oxidation.
Oxidation is the chemical change which de
stroys nearly everything under certain conditions
of air, heat and moisture. It causes iron to rust,
rubber to become brittle, butter to go rancid. In
your motor oil it's thecausc of sludge. And sludgy
oil is ho good.It's not only a poor lubricant, but
it gums up vital engine parts so even good oil
can't get in where it's needed.
Your protection against the damaging effects
of sludge is this new oxidation inhibitor devel
oped by wartime research. Added during manu
facture of Golden Shell motor oil, it keeps your
lubricant free-flowing from one oil drain to the
next Ask for new Golden Shell now, wherever
