PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY, DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS THURSDAY, MARCH 9. 1939 Kansan Comment Labor Union Not In Sight As the American Federation of Labor and the Committee of Industrial Organizations open peace negotiations, a few factors seem to favor the success of President Roosevelt's attempt to reconeilce labor's rival factions. A preponderance of obstacles, on the other hand, outweighs all forces which might promote a harmonious settlement. First of these hurdles is the growing difference in policy and philosophy of the two groups. Whereas the split between industrial and craft unionists was at first the result of rivalry within the Federation, the problem now has gone far beyond any common jurisdictional dispute. There are fundamental principles which will not be easily reconciled. The C. I. O. seeks to organize workers on the basis of industries under a form of union known as "vertical"; the A. F. of L. attempts to unite all workers who perform a similar task or a series of related tasks in "horizontal" unions. And during the four years since the industrialists made their break from the Federation, each of the factions has become increasingly convinced that its method of organization is the best one and the right one. The rival organizations, moreover, have developed conflicting political viewpoints which will prove hard to compromise. The A. F. of L. historically has opposed the practice of running candidates for political office, preferring, rather to promote its aims by non-partisan agitation. But the C. I. O. openly has made political alliances and has publicly supported the policies of individual candidates. The differences in politics are reflected, furthermore, in the attitudes of the two groups toward the National Labor Relations Board and the Wagner act. Members of the Federation have recently charged that Communists are active in the C. I. O. While it is apparent that both Mr. Lewis and Mr. Green are supporting the peace negotiations, and that their opinions will carry influence in the conference, neither will be able to force the member unions of his organization to agree to any settlement that may be made. The unions forming the Federation are associated with it much in the same way states are affiliated with the Federal government. Autonomy is present to a lesser degree among the C.I.O. member organizations, but enough selfrule is retained to give individual groups important voice in the final agreement. In the intense competition for members, finally, each organization has established rival unions in the same industries, unions which overlap in juridical claims. Particularly is this true in the case of the carpenters, textile workers, coal miners, and packing house and automobile workers. So keen is the rivalry between these organizations which struggle against each other for members within an industry that the leaders in the conference may not succeed in persuading any established union to give up a major part of its membership to another. Though the obstacles to peace seem virtually unsurmountable, the favorable factors must not be underrated. The President's personal desire that peace be attained will be of tremendous importance. It is improbable, moreover, that Mr. Roosevelt would have sent letters to Mr. Green and Mr. Lewis requesting them to appoint committees unless he believed conditions were advantageous for peace negotiations. The American people, in addition, strongly resent the inconveniences which the conflict has forced upon them. This the leaders of labor know and will heed in their deliberations. It should follow, then, that if conculation is desired both by the public and the administration—as well as by labor itself and industry—at least some form of armistry should result from the discussion. Before any permanent agreement is reached, however, serious differences must be removed. K-Club Starts New Program The K-Club apparently is coming out of the lethargy of the past few years and really intends to do something to promote better athletics. Formerly mainly a policing organization, the men's athletic organization has recently announced a definite change in policy and offers a constructive program to back it up. At one time K-Club members had the power to enforce freshmen regulations. They went as far as to paddle those who refused to obey them. A few years ago, however, this right was taken away from the club; policing activities, though, continued on a smaller scale. The athletic club now declares that it will promote school spirit in more constructive ways by bringing better athletes to the University, by keeping them here, by getting the student body more interested in all sports, and by better organization within their own group. In their new program, the K-club will work with the athletic administration, and such student groups as the M.S.C., W.S.G.A., the Ku Ku's, and the Jay James. Last fall there were five Kansas men on the University of Colorado football team. In recent years several promising athletes have enrolled in the University, withdrawn, and then gone on to other schools where they have become nationally known. Sam Francis, Nebraska all-American football player, and Elmer Hackney, gridster from K-State, are notable examples of men who came here and left during their freshman year. The K-Club intends to bring better athletes to the University, make them feel at home here, and work with the coaches in putting out better teams which will in turn bring better players here. Believing that "charity begins at home," the K-Club is working on the school spirit of their own members. Plans for a play in which all members will take part are now being discussed. Tentative plans are also being made for a basketball banquet and for an athletic-honors convoction in May. It is good to see the K Club moying forward. The athletic convoction is an excellent idea The University can thus honor its athletes is the presence of the entire student body. Kansas City Nursery Rhyme Kansas City— Rich man, poor man, beggarman, thief—doctor, lawyer, merchant, chief—and the button counting rhyme of childhood aptly describes what the Kansas City grand jury is doing. Labor bombers, union trouble-makers, beer-traven operators, killers, prosecuting attorneys—all have been indicted for breaking the law—a phenomenon rare in Jackson county. Strike two on the city machine! With Stark pitching and Southern calling the strikes, this K.C. mess promises to be a grand game for fair-minded spectators. Rich man, poor man, beggarman, thief— doctor, lawyer, merchant—all they have to do now is to catch the chief.

Although we've only had time to get half way through the Witan book of etiquette, "Manners Make Men," this department is enthusiastic about the publication. It does for the men of the campus what similar book, "No Nice Girl Sweats," did for the women a few years ago. For the admirers of Gertrude Stein's inappropriate prose, we would like to report that she has recently published a new book on Pablo Picasso, the Spanish painter—a book which even the N. Y. Times admits is good. Needless to say this latest volume is written in her own imitative style. Of Picasso she writes: "He was always possessed by the necessity of emptying himself of emptying himself completely of always emptying himself, he is so full of it that all his existence is the repetition of a complete emptying. He must empty himself of being Spanish, but he can empty himself of what he has created by emptying himself. On the Shin -all went home early, and actives kept them locked out in the cold until closing hours. Some pledges just never learn. Oh, well, worse things have been written about Picasso. The Burr Oak Herald claims there is no need to pump Pinewell for missing the Talley baby. The bureau of vital statistics missed her too. (Continued from page one) Professional integrity forces us to denounce as a camard the rumor that the Shin submitted all three winning jokes in the Nazi humor contest, the results of which were announced yesterday. Marble games aren't what they used to be. The other day I noticed a gallery of about 15 people watching Jim McNaughton as he skillfully lighted lights and run up a goodly number of "free games" on one of those mechanical opponents in a local hangout. Now back in the days of my youth we got out our "mimibies" about this time of year and made up excuses for getting home to school so late every evening. When we played it we played for keeps and it wasn't a ball for balls a nickel, but it took a game at least "800 up" to collect crowds like those that today enjoy watching a player shoot with a plunger instead of his knuckles. [multicolored flasks, cameo glass snuff bottles, and crystal objects of all sorts are grouped together in the central cases. Pottery and rare porcelain on the side shelves give an air of solidarity to the room. Sigma Nu's say it's really true that Charles Stipp actually hypnotized Jim Bradley a few days ago. Before Charles told the squitch on Jimmy he told him that at the mention of the words "crap-game" he was to say "seven come eleven" and then snap out of it. After Jimmy went under he was commanded to stiffen up like a board and he got stiff enough to be stretched out with only his head and heels resting on the edges of two chairs. Afterward the witnesses sat around and conversed while Jimmy sat limp and bluedy-eyed in a chair Sure, enough, when somebody mentioned crap game the subject hollered "seven come eleven" and jumped up to look dazedly about. Turkish, Persian, and Caucasian rugs hang on the walls of the central room. In one corner are models of Japanese shrines with their intricate carvings. There is a small republic of Senjitu, the thousand-handed deity, which holds aloft Buddha's many emblems. In a nearby case a display of the eighteenth century jewelry shows why the profession of jewelry-making has declined. The earrings and bracelets are huge, not to mention a tilly filigree necklace, three inches wide. In case you felt just a wee bit crowded at the mid-week last night blame it on the stags. There were 255 of them to keep the girls well prepared to adjust. Maybe the old stag limit of last year won't suit a busy idea after all. One of the most beautiful cases contains the jade tree which is about a foot high and in a set of bed or coral. Its flowers are of lovely tinted jade, tourmaline, amethyst, cornalian, and turquoise. The lower shelves of the same case contain such stones as Mexican fire opals, Persian turquio oriental topeazes, crystal seals, and delicate anemusthys哨 bottles. Miscellaneous articles on the first floor include the fat old-fashioned watches, the laces of foreign countries, and the dresses, and an elaborate Christmas creeks. In the basement there is a permanent display of Indian baskets, blanks, and pottery. There is on the ground floor also a small audi- tual gallery with temporary exhibitions of shawls, coverlets, quilts, and hooked rusks. On the second floor are galleries of paintings and prints. The galleries reserved for loan色彩 are now filled with water color paintings by American artists, Japanese prints of figures in landscape of wind, rain, and snow, and nineteenth century portrait engravings. One of the rarest exhibits is the collection of Prespeia figures from Italy in which some of the most fashionable artists of eighteenth century are represented. Suggest Making Ice Hockey Safer be coached by a bona fide high school coach. Cleveland, Ohio—(UP)—Floyd A. Rowe, supervisor of physical education for the board of education, recommends the elimination of body-checking entirely in schoolas- and play-going or governing play next season, due to the many injuries suffered by high school players. He suggested also in a letter to faculty supervisors of schools in the tule league that officials be selected from the school, and, if possible, each team should Rowe emphasized the need to stress skill in stickhandling and skating in preference to rough defensive tactics, thereby making a more interesting game from the spectators' viewpoint. The action was motivated by the threat of one high school to withdraw because of injuries its players had incurred.
