He said there were too many Democrats on the federal bench and it was high time to put scene Republicans there. Thia seemed to be saying in so many words that the judiciary is nothing more than an upper chamber the legislature. The answer is not to balance Democrats with Republicans. It is to try to find men for the federal judiciary who will put the law above partisanship in the great tradition of the late Chief Justice Stone. (Copyright.

1947, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) On the Line By BOB CONSIDINE NEW YORK, Jan. 28 (INS). Prof. Francis A. Giannini, philosopher admitted with equal honesty that collective bargaining has fallen into disuse chiefly because of the ideas which have prevailed ln Washington during the past 15 Labor leaders have learned that they virtually could always get more by striking and persuading the government to Intervene than they could by bargaining directly with employ, ers.

It is not in the least surprising that, under these conditions, bargaining broke down. -Secretary Schwellenbach's remedy for this condition is, one must say, something less than adequate. He is against virtually any changes ln the present law. He is particularly opposed to such proposals as Senator Ball's to outlaw industry-wide bargaining and he is convinced that, given an opportunity, labor and management can work out their problems themselves. -This much can be said that there will be more of an inclination on both sides to bargain if the government scrupulously refrains from intervening on either side.

However, government intervention, by statute and otherwise, has already gone so far that It is vitally necessary to take corrective steps. The power of labor unions and their ability to hamstring a whole industry or cripple the national economy until their demands are met has been built up to a point where it constitutes a national Oversold There is an element of truth in the comment of Secretary of Commerce Harriman that the public has been oversold on the in mines and mills and permit them, theoretically, to work out their passage money.

Having created this new monopoly power, it Is not enough for government to wash its hands of the business and tell labor and management to work out their problems themselves. Congress must take definite steps to protect the public and restore free collective bargaining, and that involves the passage of law to bring these monopolies under control.

None of Roosevelt's biographers, whether affectionate or objective, has ever discussed the family's ownership of these properties and the company's conduct in relation to the workers.

My view is that historians, who one day will try to evaluate Roosevelt for the permanent record, will be frustrated and that his historical character will be falsified if only the perfunctory information and the tributes of his proteges are left available for study. Mrs. Sara Roosevelt's income from these mines and company stores contributed to the luxurious life that her son enjoyed until he was elected President. He inherited most of her wealth. The version of conditions and events offered by the United Mine Workers invites any rebuttal that any surviving relative or friend is able to offer.
