Senate Committee
Supports The CIO
i
iC n.thiuea rrotn Page One.)
j Senate's education and la :or commit
roe.
It has two members —Senator La
1 Follette and Senator Elbert D.
! The mas of Utah. Originally it was a
: triumvirate, but the death of Senator
i Louis Murphy cf lowa cut it down to
1 two. There it has remained and will
emain.
An answer to the question as to its
next activity can be obtained only
by putting two and two together. By
this process it becomes apparent that
there can be but two major issues:
1. Vigilantes, operating to terrorize
labor.
2. The suppression of the right of
free speech and peaceful assembly.
At present the committee has 20
secret agents in the field, under the
direct supervision of the committee’s
secretary, Robert Wohlforth.
Who and where they are is part of
the secret. ,
When they will report also is inde
finite, not to say- vague. The commit
tee itself will not make a report until
Congress convenes in regular session
in January, 1938.
There is no investigation of the
steel industry, “as such” (quotation
from the committee), tut it is reason
ably certain that agents have been
at Weirton, W. Va., where the Weir
ton Steel Company has a plant, look
ing into alleged “vigilante” methods.
More Power Than NLRB.
An inquiry- into the Weirton plant,
with subpena trimmings, which so far
have not “taken”, is being conducted
by the National Labor Relations
Board. John L. Lewis’ Committee for
Industrial Organization has not, so
far made much headway- in unionizing
Weirton workers and the NLRB is
asking why. To obtain a little light
on the subject Hartley- W. Barsley,
editor of Mill and Factory- was sub
penaed to appear, but he disregarded
the order, questioning the authority
of the board in that particular. It
may te he is right as regards the
board, but he certainly- would find
himself in difficulty- if he refused to
respond to a subpena from the La
Follette committee or to tell where he
obtained the material for an article
he published cn conditions in the
Weirton plant, which the board is ex
ercised about. It is ail just as simple
as that; the NLRB cannot get the
witness before it. the committee can.
Not only- that; the Senate subcommit
tee can. under Senate resolution 266
which established it, “subpena corres
pondence, rooks, papers and docu
ments”.
From news accounts and the evi
dence so far adduced by- the NLRB it
ic indicated that Weirton employes
may be satisfied with their own Weir
ton Employes Security League and
will have none of Mr. Lewis’ CIO
Some of his organizers have suffered
from their eagerness to convince the
steel workers that the CfO is the
union for them. Whether vigilante
methods are being used by steel com
pany men is the question bothering
the board, and presumably the La Fol
lette committee. The answer now is
being sought.

New York, Dec. 13.- —(AP) —Stocks
went into a slow but sizeable decline
in today’s market, leading issues fall
ing as much as four or more points.
Efforts to rally the list were feeble.
A numi.er of new lows for the year or
longer were in evidence near the
fourth hour. While the business scene
was viewed a little more hopefully
by market analysts, trading forces
were in clined to stand aside and wait
for Washington to make the next
move in the campaign against the
economic slide. Mildly unsettling was
the sinking of an American gunboat
by the Japanese near Nanking, al
though an immediate apology from
Tokyo tended to lessen early tension
created by the incident.

LAGUARDIA ANGLES
FOR BIGGER POST
New York Mayor Seeks
Party of Own; Unwel
come to Major Groups
mmmm—mamM—mm l
By CHARLES P. STEWART
Washington, Dec. I'. —Mayor Fiorel
lo H. La Guardia’s recent formal af
filiation of himself with the newly
organized and as yet rather infantile
American Labor party is interpreted
by politicians in Washington as the
New Yorker’s first step toward a
leadership of national proportions in
the near future —probably in 1940.
La Guardia’s standing as a Repub
lican never has amounted to much.
Still, if he has presidential ambi
tions, even a nominal G. O. P. label,
worn by him too long, could not but
embarrass him almost impossibly.
For, of course, a Republican indorse
ment of his candidacy for any but
strictly local office would be unim
aginable. Nor is he a conceivable
Democratic nominee.
In short, he is not a Republican or
a Democrat in the orthodox sense of
either designation. Neither i 3 he a
Socialist, though he served a term in
Congress as one. He does net quite
fit into the New Deal, either. He has
been friendly to some of the New
Deal’s objectives, but its course has
been tqp erratically steered to suit
him. He has a clean-cut politico-econo
mic philosophy, with no wobbling
such as the New Deal’s. For example.
Rooseveltianism avowedly is expei <
mental. The mayor has a defir.it
plan. Within New York City’s limits
he has not had a chance to reveal
more than one per cent of it, but it is
of country-wide calibre. I know it.
trom chats I had with him when he
was a congressman here.
Needs Own Party.
The “Little Flower” needs, in short
a party of his own —just as the first
Senator Robert M. La Folletto did in
1924.
I do not know that La Guardia is
a stronger, abler man than the elder
La Follette was. but he is at least a
fair match for the latter, and maybe
the time is riper for him than it was
for the Wisconsin senator, 13 or 14
years ago.
Old-fashioned politicians regard him
with a modicum of respectful appre
hension, anyway.
