attended, and the election of the
Speaker, the Sergeant at Arms, the
Clerk, the Doorkeeper, the Chap
lain, the Postmaster, and other of
ficials, as well as the appointment
of the Standing Committees of the
House, was very interesting in
deed. The galleries were packed,
mostly with families of new mem
bers, who came to see the oath of
office administered to the mem
bers. Each Congressman was giv
en one reserved seat in the gal
lery I had my ticket in my pocket
as no one from our District seemed
to want it, when I saw a group in j
the Hall looking very dejected in
deed. The aged parents of a new
member had come up from the
middle West to see their son take
the oath of office, and as he was
allowed only ticket, the par- !
one
ents' were trying to decide which
of them would use it. The father
was insisting that the mother have
the ticket, and she was just as in
j sistent that he have the honor, so
I thought I would have no better
1 opportunity that day to “do a good
turn,” and I gave them my ticket,
j The old couple was if very I happy. not
The father asked me were
a Democrat and upon my affirma
j tive reply, he added, “I thought
■ so.”
We met in the regular House
Chrmber, the Architect of the Cap
tol having during the past six
weeks erected a steel bridgework
to support the roof until perma
nent repairs can be made. These
I steel beams certainly mar the
beauty of the historic chamber, and
we will be glad when they can be
removed.
In the election of the officers.,
--------—- - :
the House divided its votes on
strictly party lines, Hon. Stm Ray
burn of Texas, receiving 247 Dem
ocra tjc votes, Hon. Joseph W. Mar
tin of Massachusetts, receiving 159
Republican votes, while the Pro
gressives gave Representative Hull
I of Wisconsin two votes and Repre
sentative Gehrman of Wisconsin
one vote. Representative Marcan ■
tonio. the Amer’can Lrborite from
New York, voted for Martin.
410 of the 435 members were
present. 25 members being absent
on account of illness.
Speaker Rayburn made an elo
quent address after his election,
asking for unanimity of purpose
and effort in National Defense.
The Congress will convene Mon
j day President’s in joint session to receive the
messege, and everyone
is expecting it to follow the trend
of his last fireside chat in asking
for unstinted aid for Britain. You
will have read it by the time this
letter is printed.
The weather here is very warm
with bright sunshine. We are cross
ing our fingers, for we know the
cold wave is not far off.
Sincerely,
A. SIDNEY CAMP.
THE COVINGTON NEWS
Here is a view of the damage caused when a German fire-and-explosive
bomb struck Britain's historic Parliament building in London within a
few yards of the House of Commons chamber. The blast wrecked the
600-years-old St. Stephen’s Cloisters and did other extensive damage.
Parliamentary staff members were in shelters and no casualties were
reported. Fires were extinguished within half an

The Defense Commission - War
Department rebuff to Sidney Hill
| man on the Ford contract is but
| one of the set-backs which head this has
am bitious labor union
suffered in recent weeks,
wanted , the ,, contract ,
i Hillman
withheld because the Labor Bocid
1 found Ford guilty of unfair labor
practices. It made no difference to
HiUman that Ford had appealed
3 oard ’ s findings to the courts.
'
The Defense Commission and
the War Department need trucks
for defense. Ford can furnish them,
To these two egencies there was
not much difference between can
celling the Ford contract and re
fusing to let a man join the army
because he was once charged with
speeding. In neither case has the
j accused had his last da> in court,
But Hillman hts another more
ambitious scheme which has been
stepped on at least for the time be
ing. His idea was to create about
i 25 regional offices around the
country to settle strikes and dis
putes in defense industries.
As many Washington officials
sew it, this would mean letting
Hillman-selected'labor leaders set
tie strikes on the government's
behalf, for Hillman would name
j the people offices. who served in these re
I gional
The things that stopped these
plans, but didn't make the head
lines were!
First, in mid-December repre
sentatives of various State Labor
Depfrtments met in Washington.
They adopted a resolution unqual
ifiedly urging expansion of exist
ing Federal and State conciliation
services. This was a direct pat on
the back for Dr. John D. Steelman
head of the U S. Conciliation Ser
vice who settled the Vultee fir
plane strike after both Hillman
and the War Department had
failed.
Second, the special Labor Poli
cy Advisory Committee, which
Hillman himself appointed, in se
! cret session objected vigorously to
his plan. This committee, too, in
sisted that settlement of strikes and
disputes be left in the tunds of the
U. S. Conciliation Service and
that the Defense Commission be
called in only when the Concilia
tion Service reached an impasse.
| Labor Policy committee mem
bers naturally were afraid that
Hillman would appoint to his re
gional offices people who were bi
ased and whose suggestions for set
! tlement of disputes would be
looked upon with suspicion both
by employers and employees
Nobody has accused Hillman of
anything except an over-zealous
desire to protect the interest of
labor organizations. But some re
searchers, studying Hillman’s rec
ord for an indication of what his
aims might be found the follow
ing once incorporated in the pre
amble and by-laws of the Amal- j |
gamated Clothing Workers which
Hillman heads:
“The industrial and inter-indus
trial organization, built upon the
solid rock of organization and i
Class Consciousness, class will put the |
actual working in actual con
trol of the system of production j
and the working class will then be \
ready to take possession of it.”
That, Americanism. these researchers Then, sry, is j
not whether
it is pertinent or not, they remind
that Hillman was born in Russia,
the home of Communism.
The Phil Murray “plan” to turn
out 500 pursuit planes a day in the
auto industry is another case, ap
parently, of a desire to promote
labor organizations with the pub
