British Luring The Irish Girls LONDON, ENGLAND The Irish came up Friday with a new grievance against England: Her tourists are hiring the chambermaids right out of Ireland's hotels. "Our staffs are like a lot of chickens," complained W. D. Rev-llle, chairman of the Irish Hotel federation. "You have to count them overnight to see how many are gone in the morning!"

"Cost of government must be reduced." they said, "or we shall face immediate threat of state socialism.

Individual Responsibility. The resolutions further advocated individual responsibility instead of group social security.

In those days, the novice Lewis sat at the feet of the "Old Master" and learned. But in the end hs had rejected trade unionism.

Lewis had seen the A.F.L. chop Its membership into so many small crafts that no individual union could ram a solid battering log in Its negotiations with management. Weakened U.M.W. He had seen this craft unionism weaken his own U.M.W. during the terrible twenties.

Over and over again, Lewis had heard the coal operators tell him that the miners were getting higher wages than the unorganized steel workers, the unorganized rubber workers. What did the miners want The Bitter Lesson. Lewis had learned the bitter lesson that as long as great masses of workers were unorganized it would be impossible for those who were organized to achieve legitimate goals. His dreams brought him to the tragedy of the Great Depression. The very life of organized labor was at stake.

As labor leaders huddled together in their common misery and made plans for further retreat, John L. Lewis prepared to attack.
