Union Trustbustiung
RECENT MONTHS have demonstrated all too
clearly the vulnerability of our national eco-
nomy to labor upheavals. Weakening price con-
trol, rising, wages, threatening inflation have
followed in the wake of these disturbances. The
need for effective legislation to halt this trend
has become imperative if we are to retain our
position of world leadership.
This is not the first time the stability of our
free enterprise system has been attacked by
the domination of a single group. Before the
turn of the century the increasing forces of
capital constituted an imposing threat to the
basic laws of our economy. Government control
came to the rescue with the writing of anti-
trust legislation. As late as 1914 with the passing
of the Clayton Act, the labor movement was spe-
cifically exempted from monopoly control mea-
sures, very like the manner an infant industry
is protected from foreign competition by means
of a high import tariff. But even as the tariff,
permanently retained, will react against public
interest, so has our continued mothering of the
labor groups turned against us.
Underlying our economic system is the prin-
ciple of freedom of activity for the individual
within a group, giving rise to the problem of
reconciling this freedom with the demands and
needs of the society. It was originally believed
that the system of free competition would pro-
vide the ideal solution to this prblem. However,
the past fifty years have brought a slow turning
away from this concept toward state control
of labor and industry. Recent events have shown
this present middle position to be untenable.
We are faced with the alternative of adopting
complete domination of industry by the gov-
ernment with fixed wages and enforced arbi-
tration, or attempting to reinstate the prin-
ciples of free competition by restriction of union
activities and revision of anti-trust laws to in-
clude both labor and capital. Of necessity, im-
mediate action must be a step to greater state
control, as found in the Truman Strike-Draft
Bill. A long-run policy must be designed to re-
store a free working society as originally con-
ceived. There must be a balance of power between
groups of individuals so that one group cannot
advance at the expense of othe:s.
THE IMMEDIATE NEED for action was em-
phasized recently by Rep. H. H. Buffett (Rep.,
Neb. when he declared, "Vigorous action is ne-
cessary to safeguard this country from industrial
warfare which will lead to state socialism, with
employer and worker both the loser ... we must
decentralize power in the labor union move-
ment."
Decentralization of the big unions is the
first requirement of the long-run policy. The
aim will be to match the size of the employer
with the size of the union, allow free inter-
change of information by both, but subject
to anti-trust regulations. There must be a re-
turn of freedom for the individual which is
lacking under the present union set-up.
In affect, this plan will equalize bargaining
power betw een employer and union and restrict
the scope of union control to the same extent
as that of the employer. Increased activity in
wage competition would result, with wages ap-
proaching the marginal value of the workers'
services. The present trend is to set the wage,
adjust the price, and allow the demand to be
reflected in unemployment. We seek a return
I'D RATHER BE RIGHT:
Report on Apathy
By SAMUEL GRAFTON
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA-A month ago
in North Carolina, a fortnight ago in the deep
south, and now today in Los Angeles, I have had
the same strong, feeling that the people of this
republic are passing through a bad hour, emo-
tionally. It is as if they wanted something, and
not only didn't have it, but didn't quite know
what it was. It makes a hard kind of story to
cover, this story of a mood; but what surprises
me is the amount of material which comes flood-
ing out when I raise the question.
A candidate for Congress said: "There is a
terrible weariness in people; it is almost like a
momentary loss of faith. I don't understand it.
My friends call me up and say: "It's awfully
hot in Washington, isn't it? You wouldn't like
it as well as California, would you? Where are
you going to live? If you're elected, you're not
really going to be able to accomplish anything,
are you?' They act as if I were running for the
federal penitentiary. It is almost as if we had
thrown up our hands and had lost faith in our-
selves. You still hear political arguments; this is
a very articulate community; but it is almost as
if there were an inability to focus, and the argu-
ments trail away into nothing."
My friend, the candidate, thinks, the death
of Roosevelt has something to do with this
feeling; that a wave of fear followed F.D.R.'s
passing, and that people have turned inward,
and are thinking about smaller things, instead
of bigger and bigger ones. He told me dourly
about a questionnaire he had received from
one association, which asked him, in one
breath and in one sentence: "If you are elect-
ed, what will you do to reduce taxation, or
what other qualifications do you have for pub-
lie office?"
I asked a brilliant woman, a veteran resident
of the city of Los Angeles, about the postwar
mood, and she popped too.
"There's been a peculiar slowing down of the
machinery," she said. "I feel it myself. I just
want to sit in a patio and put my feet on a chair
and drink beer. People are kind of milling
around, in a futile way; they don't talk about the
atomic age, any more, or any other kind of age.
They damn the unions mechanically, but with-
out real interest; they don't actually discuss the
strikes, and if you notice, there's been no scab-
bing. They don't know what to think. There
just doesn't seem to be a voice anywhere in the
world; Roosevelt is gone, Willkie is dead; no-
body has taken their places, and people feel
it. They are still crowding into Los Angeles, lots
of servicemen are trying to stay here; but they
are in a mood that's hard to understand. It's as
if they don't see anything to look forward to and
are afraid they aren't going to find whatever it
is they are looking for. They don't want to take
ordinary jobs and settle down with them and
say, that's that. It's as if there should have
been something wonderful for everybody at the
end of this war, and it isn't here. Maybe the
wartime ads about the postwar future have
backfired."
I remember the personnel officials at the Lock-
heed plant, earlier this week, and their baffle-
ment at the curious tide of inarticulate discon-
tent which runs through industrial plants to-
day.
"It isn't even a very interesting breakdown,"
said my friend. "If it could be like the twenties
it wouldn't be so bad. It's the twenties without
F. Scott Fitzgerald."

Obstructionists
THE UNITED STATES is facing its third ma-
jor strike i a month unless the proposed
walkout by seven maritime unions on June 15,
can be averted.
The president has proposed to combat this
action by seizing the merchant ships under the
provisions of the Smith-Connally Act and sail-
ing them with Navy or non-union personnel.
However, the unions have retaliated by asking
the World Federation of Trade Unions to boy-
cott American ships. The appeal was directed
to foreign dock workers, in particular.
Seizure of the merchant ships is not a dras-
tic proposal, since the government owns most
American flag vessels through the War Ship-
ping Administration. Boycott of the ships, how-
ever, would probably be an effective way of cur-
tailing operation.
The union's strike committee has declared
that troop and relief ships would be excluded
from the boycott. Nevertheless, any amount of
shipping going abroad is vital for one reason
or another.
Food would admittedly be allowed to go
through, but food is tied up with a great many
other things. Undoubtedly other goods are be-
ing sent to foreign countries in order to rebuild
and rehabilitate the economy of these nations.
If such operations are delayed, these countries
will take longer to get back on their feet and
will therefore be dependent upon American
relief for a longer period of time. Relief is a
stop-gap measuye; rehabilitation is long-range.
Obviously, we can not afford to allow either of
these measures to be obstructed.
-Phyllis L. Kaye
WHENEVER THERE IS a major strike in this
country, a number of people . . . some honest
and some not honest . . . try to raise a false
issue which actually has no bearing on the
strike. Thus during the coal strike most Ameri-
can newspapers tried to tell us that the strike
was simply an effort by John L. Lewis to take
over the United States. During the railroad strike
President Truman attempted to place the entire
blame on the leaders of the striking Railway
Brotherhoods, Al Whitney and Alvanley John-
ston. We were told that these two men, as well
as Mr. Lewis, were attempting to take over the
country. We heard frightened sobs from those
who feared that we would all starve, and there
,were many furious roars from all corners. The
coal strike and the railroad strike were both said
to be efforts by power-mad leaders to set them-
selves up as dictators in this country.
On the eve of the threatened shipping strike
the same cry is again being raised, and this
time it is coming from a supposed labor leader.
Joe Ryan, president of the AF of L International
Longshoremen's Association, has charged that
the CIO shipping unions are going to strike in
order to "turn over the maritime industry to
Soviet Russia." If Mr. Ryan's charges are true,
we should certainly act upon them and prevent
the strike. However, there are very good rea-
sons for believing that they are not true.
The first of these reasons is that we should
always view with suspicion any charge by the
AF of L against the CIO, or by the CIO against
the AF of L. The CIO was founded by several
unions which were expelled from the AF of L,
and rancor has never died down.
The second reason for doubting the charges
is the character of Mr. Ryan. His attempt
to sell out his own union members in the San
Francisco strike of 1934 caused all the long-
shoremen on the West Coast to leave the AFL
and found the CIO Longshoremen's union under
the leadership of Harry Bridges. Ryan then at-
tempted to frame Bridges and have him de-
ported to Australia, but this plot was broken
up by the United States Supreme Court. Now
Ryan charges that the proposed strike by seven
CIO unions is an attempt to turn over the
shipping industry to Russia!
When the rank and file longshoremen on the
East Coast revolted against Ryan and struck
early this year, the New Republic revealed
some interesting facts about Ryan. They called
him a dictator inside his gown union, and
pointed out that he made himself president
for life at an annual salary of $25,000. Bridges
was elected president for one year at a salary
of $6,000.
The third reason for doubting the charge is
that it is obviously ridiculous. The 200,000 men
who threaten to strike all make their living from
the American shipping industry. Are we to be-
lieve that they intend to destroy their source
of livelihood by turning over the shipping in-
dustry to another country?
During the war the average wage of NMU
members was about $200 a month. Today the
average wage is only $145 a month, a decline
of 40%. Therefore the union wants a 30% wage
increase. Today the average work week for
seamen is 56 hours and they are not paid
overtime. They want overtime for all hours
above 40 in any week. Even during the war
these seamen made only about 85 cents an
hour.
The CIO unions involved have promised that,
in the event they do strike, they will continue
to sail all troop ships and all relief ships. Thus
in the case of a strike, we have been promised
that no innocent people in Europe will starve
as a result of it. These seven unions have not
struck a single time since the beginning of the
war. Therefore there is reason to believe that
they will keep their current promise, just as they
kept the no-strike pledge during the war.

ACCORDING TO EDDY GILMORE, Associated
Press correspondent who has just returned
from Moscow where he has been an observer
during the past five years, neither Russian diplo-
mats nor any Russian think of their recent world
political moves as any but completely justified
in accordance with peaceful aims.
Russians want nothing but peace, Gilmore says,
and lists reasons ranging from depletion of Soviet
resources in the war to the desire to get their
famous five-year plan into operation.
Yet the Russian's recent reduction of their
army left some six million men under arms.
And Soviet moves to consolidate their position
in the Balkans and the Near East have been
aggresive to say the least.
National inferiority complexes rank high
among the world's maladies. However legitimate
Russian motives may be, their attitudes and
actions should be given an international airing.
Continued misunderstanding accompanied by
politically suspicious moves can only lead to
the logical outcome of any well-developed na-
tional inferiority complex. The parallels are
too obvious and numerous to list.
