Correspondence aad Open Forum rt LABOR’S YEAR AHEAD Although American Labor has just cause to be jubilant over its political and other accomplishments during the past year, it must keep an open eye on the great tasks to be solved during the New Year and throughout years to come. Truly. Labor learned many lessons and accomplished great thinsrs during 1948. It co-ordinated its forces and helped to defeat scores of its congressional foes in the new Congress: it battled the effects of the vicious Taft-Hartley law provisions; it played a major role in returning Presi dent Truman to office in the face of what political op ponents and friends alike thought to be an impossible job; and Labor has battled the Communist elements, both at home and abroad, in an effort to wipe out the Red menace in the ranks of Labor unions throughout the world, and thereby upholding the dignity of Labor in helping to pre serve our democratic traditions and elsewhere. However, the New Year demands of us continued and re doubled vigilance. The Taft-Hartley act is still a labor; shackle in this land. The law affects in many adverse ways the collective bargaining procedure of our unions with their employers; it breaches the freedoms heretofore enjoyed by both Labor and Management in arriving at satisfactory working agreements. Its repeal has been called by Labor, by the President of the United States, by the Labor De partment and by the Democratic party, as wdl as by all fair-minded Americans who have ascertained for them selves how the vicious law’s tentacles have strangled pleas ant experiences in hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of contract renewal negotiations. The desire of the American people was expressed in the November election when by their vote President Truman’s program was endorsed. Following the election the repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act and the substitution of “just" legislation were predicted by Secretary of Labor Maurice J. Tobin. He also declares that any new labor law “will definitely have to restore the closed shop,” and he has pointed out that in elections held by the National Labor Relations Board “99.9 per cent of those voting favored the union shop." He said he did not | believe that management would care whether or not such a provision was in the law. The Secretary plans to seek legislation tPTCttJrn to the; Department of Labor the Federal Mediation and Concilia tion Service,' which was removed from the Department by the 80th Congress in a section of the Taft-Hartley Act. In the same manner, Mr. Tobin says he hopes to return the United States Employment Service to the Department, j It was transferred to the Federal Security Agency late this year. Secretary Tobin has been having a series of conferences with representatives of several unions, including the Ameri can Federation of Labor, Congress of Industrial Organiza tions, and the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen in order to line up suggestions for President Truman for the Presi dent’s State of the Union Message to Congress in January. A five-man committee of the AFL paid two visits to the Secretary and a three-man committee of the CIO came to present its ideas. A. F. Whitney, head of the Railway i Trainmen; A1 Kayes, vice president of the International! Association of Machinists; and Joseph A. Beirne, President! of the Communication Workers of America have also talked with Tobin. United Mine Worker leaders also were invited by the Secretary. Tobin said his “door is open” to all leaders of independent unions and spokesmen for industry. Spokesmen for the AFL, the CIO, and the Railway Labor Fxecutives Association have indicated they are in favor of repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act and re-enactment of the Wagner Act of 1935. No information is available as to amendments that should be fitted into the Wagner Act when ni.d if it is re-enacted. Secretary Tobin has said that the new labor legislation should be based on President Truman’s 1947 State of the Union Message, the 19-48 Democratic platform, the Tru man veto of the Taft-Hartley Act, and the President’s campaign speeches. Labor is prepared for a series of hearings before the Senate and House Labor Committees on various legislative proposals but hopes that the Administration’s first item on the labor program will be repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act. QUILL ASSAILS DAILY WORKER Michael Quill, president of the CTO Transport Workers, has denounced the Daily Worker, official organ of the Com munist Party, as “a scandal sheet which oozes five days a week from a cesspool of anti-labor craekpots.” Quill noted that the "Worker says it supported our fight against the company unions back in 1934 and 1935.” "This is true,” Quill wrote in the TWU’s Bulletin, ‘‘the paper championed our cause in such a stupid manner that thousands of our members still believe the Worker was then in the pay of the traction trusts. “In 1937, iMhen TWU squeezed its first contract out of New York Omnibus and 5th Avenue Coach, the peddlers of the Workers had to be forcibly removed from the front door of Transport Hall during the meeting because the gutter journalism of the Worker was so distasteful to our bus men that if allowed to continue its sale it *ould Ijave served the bosses’ first and final purpose—to wreck our union. ' ‘T do not owe any leadership in TWU to any individual oi group. I have held this leadership through the will of the rank and file of this great organization, and I have owed no allegiance either in the past or now to the crack pot leadership of the Communist Party.” Quill resigned as president of the Greater New York City CIO Council because that body refused to adhere to CIO policy and oppose a third party in 1918. Quill charged the council was Communist-dominated. GOVERNOR-ELECT TAKES OFFICE JANUARY 1 When the General Assembly convenes in Raleigh on* the first of January it will meet and install the new state of ficers chosen by the North Carolina electorate to serve the Commonwealth for the next four years. Of course. Gov ernor-elect Scott heads the list and the Governor plans to j be present with long-tails and bucket hat and all trimmin’s.1 He says that North Carolinians like to "put on the dog” at their inaugural ceremonies and that this will be the order of the day, so far as he is concerned. jAnd proper it is. The executive head of our highest state office most assuredly should conduct himself with the greatest dignity during these solemn ceremonies. He j has been entrusted with the State’s welfare for a term,! following his campaign promises to serve the people and serve them well. His attitude upon assuming office and j his personal conduct during the inaugural will assuredly j reflect a picture in the minds of the populace as to what they may expect of him in the days to come. In the case of Governor-elect Scott he has pledged him self to assist the farmers, labor and business in general. He has a tara mount task ahead and one which calls for dimity and diplomacy throughout the four years to come. Best wishes. Mr. New Governor Scott, and thank you, Mr. Retiring Governor Cherry. NEW PLAGUE IN 1949 The North Carolina anti-closed shop bill remains with North Carolina Labor to plague it unless the 1949 session of the General Assembly discards the law as a promoter! of chaos in the field of Labor-Management relationships. A call for the repeal of this anti-closed shop pill will cer tainly be made by all North Carolina Labor during the 1949 session. It is hoped that the legislators will have had time to review the damnable effects of their handiwork of two y» ars ago and that the great majority will be in sufficiently willing moods to cast their votes for the repeal of this piece of legislation which has done nothing to promote either the welfare of Labor or Management. It is not the balm that will maintain pleasant labor-management rela tionships. There is more power in the purchase of one once of Union Label goods than there is in tons of resolutions!
