BY PETER EDSON
NEA Service Washington Correspondent z.
COMB of the loveliest fights' in Washington don’t get in the papers.
Maybe it’s Just as well, for the hardest fights are apt to be the
'-ngest fights and the longest fights have a tendency to develop like
chess matches, where a move has to be made
only once every half hour, or a British cricket
match, where the spectators stand around tn gray
toppers, leaning on their canes for days at a time
without any more signs of life than someone occa-
sionally opening his month to say “Haw!”
. Among the better and bitterer battles that have !
been fought tn Washington this pest winter have |
been some of the closed session hearings before g
panels of the War Labor Board. Clarence B. Ran- I
dall of Chicago, inland Steel vice president who I
presented his company’s case before the WLB re- I
cently, told about a few of the fast rounds fought11
in this case, and they make an interesting chapter I
on one phase of the war effort that isn’t generally I
known. B
Much to-do was made over the announcement
that WLB was to make its full board meetings open
„ to the public, bat this does not apply to the pane]
meetings, where the real arguments are presented before three mem-
bers, one representing the public, one labor, one management In the
Inland Steel case. Arthur S. Meyer, chairman of the New York state
mediation board, presided as panel chairman, and at its opening sea-
son on Feb. 2«, it was agreed that no one would talk until after the
hearings were conch
but as the heai ‘_ “
probably for the_____
sides had been permitted to spout
openly there would have been
grandstanding that Would have
made this dispute over closed Or
union maintenance exceedingly
dirty. ’ .• '
ly ANDAlL himself is never at a
1 loss for a word, and he pays
full respects to Phil Murray, pres-
ident of the Steel Workers Organ-
izing Committee who presented
the case for the union, as his op-
ponent Murray’s rich Scotch
burr, his sense of the dramatic and
hfs timing make him an extremely
forceful speaker. In one session
Murray, to objecting to a ruling
at Chairman Meyer’s, said bitterly,
*1 do not think you are fit to pre-
side over thia panel!” It threw
the session into an uproar, though
a week later, Meyer and Murray
were laughing about it when Mur-
ray had occasion to remark with
mock meekness, "May 1 enter my
, usual mild objections?" *
The Inland Steel negotiations
have been going on eight months.
There were 17 sessions ot di-
rect company-SWOC negotiations
from September through De-
cember, disposing of all ques-
tions but closed shop and check-
i »fi. In mid-January. SWOC asked
for, $1 a day increases. In Febru-
Anne was playing the accompan-
iment, but was giving only half
„ hdr Attention to ths music. With
quick, side glances, she studied the
others in the room.
Everyone was there except Aunt
Sue, who had gone upstairs soon
after dinner. Mont sprawled in an
easy chair, smoking his pipe and
frowning. Otis sat near the table
which held the Bourbon. Anne saw don’t want to go yet. It’s only a

ary the case was certified to War
Labor Board. Panel hearings were
concluded toward the end of April.
The panel has been reviewing the
record. They will call back union
and management representatives.
They will make their findings.
Then will come public sessions be-
fore the full War Labor Board in
which there will be oratory and
arguing to tire the patience of the
gods. It will be June or July by
then, and the end will not yet be
in sight.
The record of the Labor Board
might lead anyone to believe that
Inland and the other “Little Steel”
companies—Republic, Youngstown
and Bethlehem—are in for a lick-
ing on this union maintenance or
closed shop issue. Four things
might happen then: The companies
can comply gracefully The com-
panies can comply and yelL The
companies can refuse to accept the
decision, which would lead to a
takeover by the government! The
companies might decide to take
the issue to court, on the principle
of equity that the courts have the •
power to review the findings ot
the War Labor Board. No such
right Is admitted in the Presi-
dent’s executive order setting up
the War Labor Board.

ed our industrial setup that in 1942 wre will make almost as
great a value of war goods as we produced,’ in 1932 and
• 1933, of commodities to service tlie entire American nation’’
While we are finding fault with Washington for its con-
- fumon and failures of leadership, with capital and labor and
'farmers for their selfishness and shortsightedness, iet’s not

. We have multiplied our plane production 24 times, so
; that with Henry Ford’s new plant operating we, alone, will
be making more aircraft than all the axis nation^ combined.
* We are buiding this year as many cargo ships as the total
we possessed Jan. 1, 1941. We are turning out tanks, at last,
I ts fast as we can use them.
But because we went to work so late and so slowly, it would
- be fatal to become overly encouraged by the supercolossal
job of production we have achieved so far.
Our enormous output has been lost in the vacuum we had
. - permitted to exist. We’re still behind the eight ball. We
.* can’t stop now to pat ourselves on the back.

They were talking, but Judith kept
her eyes on Otis. Her face was
pale and she fingered a handker-
chief nervously.
Anne swang into the second
verse of the spng. Something must
be done to free Judith from Otis,
she-told herself. Perhaps it was the

peculiar symptoms tonight, but

Her pale cheeks flushed. “I —X

Otis’ gaze darted to Peter.
"Want to talk some more to that

a fool of yourself! Women and
their doctors!"
Mont rose and laid a hand on
Otis’ shoulder. "Frame, you’re

Otis shook himself trtf. “Keep
out of this!" He reached out and
gripped Judith’s arm, yanked her
to her ftot. “Come on—we’re get-
ting out of here!”
Anne left the piano and4hurriel
to her sister’s side. “You can’t;
Judy," she whispered urgently,
‘‘You can’t go with him while he’i
like this.”
“I must, Biq.”
IJELPLESS, numb with fear,
11 Anne watched Judith follow
Otis into the hall. There was an
awkward silence in the room, bro-
ken onlyby the sound of the front
door opening and closing. Then,
from outside, came the sound of
Otis* car roaring away.
“Some day,” muttered Mont, “I
may go off the deep end and kill
a man?”
Anne, shocked, swung toward
him. “Moot! Don’t say things like
that!" * m
Judge DaingBfteld cleared' his
throat. “Peter, X guess we’d better
be getting along."
Anne made no protest, knowing
that it was useless to try to carry
on with the party now. *
When she and Mont .were left
alone, he paced back and forth.
“I can’t understand why Jadith
doesn’t leave Otte,” he said. "She
can’t still love him—If ’she ever
did.”
