The editorial in the official
Journal of the International

ttfce title “Look Out! The Wind la
HiafcBg-n liecalling bitterly in
.dbmtry promises that if OPA was

"They were right. Prices are
marking their level—at the moon.
“•Labor has only one chance to
asesae out even, and that is for
paitea to be reduced. But Con
ferees isn’t listening to anything
St that. Congress hears the
"eaices of the corporations, coming
down on high, from the sum
mits of their mountains of gold.
“These voices tell Congress not
to worry about business but to
worry about labor. Labor, they
say, is the cause of all our trou
bles. And Congress responds like
a puppy licking its .master's
hand.”
Even Congress ought to be
able to see that “this can’t go
on much longer,” said the editori
al. “We are heading toward one
hell of a crash! When it comes
Congress had better be prepared
to feed several million unem
ployed. Congress won’t be deal
ing with labor unions then. It
will be dealing with mobs. And
those billions of excess profits
the corporations have piled up*
They will be gone, too. The com
ing cyclone will leave little be
hind it—-perhaps not even Con
gress.”

SPOTLIGHT FOCUSED
ON GOP LABOR POLICY
(Continued From Pag* 1)
Bpnks collapsing daily; thirteen
million people unemployed; apple
sellers at every corner; thou
sands upon thousands of veterans
homeless; breadlines the order of
the day. I am sure that Labor
remembers those days. We re
member the end of an era of
government by big business and
big politics and the only com
fort we could get from the archi
tects of our ruin was the assur
ance that prosperity was just
around the corner.
Labor in those days was fight
ing to keep* children in school
until they were at least 14 years
of age so that they would not be
competing for the jobs held by
their fathers. We were fighting
then for compensation for those
who were injured and the depen
dents of those who were killed in
industry. We were fighting then
for at system of minimum wages
and maximum hours. We were
fighting then for unemployment
insurance and for old age pen
sions for those who had grown
old in the service of industry.
Did we receive any aid or co
operation in these efforts from
the N. A. M. group and the po
litical reactionaries who had done
their bidding for twelve years
prior to 1932? No. On the con
trary the N. A. M. then as now
consistently opposed every effort
to better the lot of the nation’s
wage earners.
It seems that the N. A. M. and
its friends in Congress would
like to bring back the good old
days of boom and bust. In order
to do so, they must first destroy
and eliminate the hard won gains
which organized labor has made
over the years. Labor must be
weakened. Labor must be more
amenable. Labor must be re
sponsive to its master and pre
sent less interference to the ef
forts of big business to get more
and more cream out of things
we produce. Well, labor is not
going to be fooled by the Na
tional Association of Manufac
turers. Labor is not going to lie
down and allow them to take
over again. Labor is fighting
with every legitimate weapon at
its command to preserve the sys
tem which has brought the stand
ard of American life to the high
point where it is today.
GREENS WARNS ANTI-UNION
IEGISLATION IS A POINTED
BLOW AT ALL THE WORKERS
(Continued from Pare 1)
lective bargaining constitute the
best approach to industrial peace.
“But no one person or group
knows all the facts and all the
answers. That is why President
Truman urged Congress in 1946
to create a fact-finding investiga
tion into labor-management dis
putes before attempting to pass
legislation. The American Fed
eration of Labor endorsed that
proposal. Labor is not afraid of
the facts. But Congress spurned
the recommendation and passed
the Case Bill, which the Presi
dent vetoed. ]
“Again this year, the President
appealed to Congress to authorize
a fact-finding investigation. Again
Congress is ignoring his wise ad
vice. Instead, it is rushing head
long into the worst legislative
blunder in the Nation’s history.
I urge you, the people, to pre
vent this tragic mistake by mak
ing your voice heard in Wash'
ington. -11 .,
Senator Taft, appearing on the
same program, read a statement
from the Congressional Record
which he had made concerning the
bill he was sponsoring .

citizens to work against their will
for private employer! or face
imprisonment. If these and many
other provisions do not destroy
the legitimate and basic rights
of labor, as well as its recent
gains. I would like to know wjiat
would. <■»
“Secondly, Mr. Bunting asks:
‘Do the proposals in this legis
lation serve the public welfare?*
“Emphatically, they do not.
Many year* ago Abraham Lin
coln said ‘Whatever hurts labor
PUNITIVE LABOR
hurts the nation.’ That wise
statement is just as true today.
Everyone who works for a living
is labor. Whatever hurts labor,
hurts them. The transparent at
tempt to separate the identity
of labor and the public, which is
fostered by the NAM’s propagan
da campaign, is designed to hood
wink the American people. Or
ganized labor represents directly
some 16. million junion members
and their families. Indirectly, it
represents and speaks for another
45 million workers as yet unor
ganized. You can’t hurt 60 mil
lion Americans with punitive leg
islation without striking a dam
aging blow against the public
welfare.
“God help America when the
NAM is to be the final judge of
what constitutes the public wel
fare!”
