t. .ion nu all, as Uiey individually
ly *choose, cither a company union,
a cr.ttft union, or an iudustrial union,
"' without interference or coercion
from any source" is the sore spot
with organized labor.
Labor organizations do not like auj
intimation that the power of govern
ment will not be placed behind them
in their efforts to organize workers,
ilr. LandoU's acceptance of the com
pany union system of organisation is]
also not relished by labor leaders
How far this may have the effect
of further alienating the labor vote
is a good deal of an open question.
Une of the shrewdest political ana
lysts bore points out that 80 per cent
oi organized labor is already safely
in'the Roosevelt camp and that Mr.
Landon's ie:ua<ks may have alien-1
a ted another five per eent.
