Anti-Labor Laws

WHEN it became evident on the morning
of Nov. 6 that the Republican Party
would dominate the 80th Congress of the
United States, numerous proposals for anti-
labor legislation were immediately advanced
by conservative elements. Advocates of such
measures contended that it was necessary
to restore management to a position of
pquality in collective bargaining relations
with labor. With a few exceptions, these
suggestions were not marked by extreme
irrationality.
With the beginning of the coal strike
on Nov. 21, however, the public,, whipped
into a state of hysteria by the American
press and radio, has demanded enactment
of legislation which is calculated to render
organized labor impotent. Certain groups
even favored drafting miners into the
Army and forcing them to work the mines.
Despite the issuance of an injunction re-
straining John L. Lewis and the United
;Mine Workers from abrogating the Govern-
'ment contract and the subsequent conviction
of Lewis and the UMW on charges of con-
stempt of court, the miners refused to return
to the mines until Lewis ordered them back.
Now, out of blind unreasoning anger and
frustration, the Government, management

and the public are demanding revision of
the Wagner Labor Act and the adoption
of punitive anti-labor laws.
Before the 80th Congress succumbs to
this tremendous pressure, it is mandatory
that members of the Senate and the House
of Representatives lay aside political con-
siderations and objectively analyze the pos-
sible consequences of economic coercion.
MANY Americans labor under the de-
lusion that the surest and most ex-
pedient method of solving a dilemma is to
pass a law. History has proven, particularly
in the case of prohibition, that mere legis-
lation is ineffectual unless it is supported
by the individuals and groups it concerns.
From the initial refusal of the United
Mine Workers to terminate the coal strike,
it should be apparent that if Congress
attempts to drastically undermine the
ability of .organized labor to defend its
basic rights, unions will defy such laws.
Tyrannical coercion must inevitably re-
sult in national industrial warfare and
economic chaos.
If present labor-management problems
are to be settled, quickly and peacefully,
and a practical basis laid for the satisfactory
resolution of future industrial disputes, it
is absolutely essential that the government
arrange for negotiations between the United
Mine Workers and the private mine owners.
Only through the recognized processes of
collective bargaining negotiations can a
workable compromise, providing the great-
est mytual benefit, be achieved now and in
the future.

IT WAS THE privilege of the press during
the past two and a half weeks to color
the impasse which existed between the
miners and the government as a workers'
strike against the sovereign power of the
oUnited States. Aside from its being absurd
to speak in abstruse legal terms, when the
whole of the labor movement was being
threatened with its existence, the facts
were quite the reverse.
The Administration did not seek any
real solution to the refusal of the miners
to work without a contract. Instead, they
chose to deal in terms of labor's funda-
mental right to strike. That there was
collusion of thought between the Ad-
ministration and the Coal Operators, is
evidenced by the similar expressions of
sentiment-a "fight to the finish." As far
as they were concerned, it was not the
fact that the coal miners had just de-
mands, or that the strike was disrupting
the economy of the country, but rather
that labor's fundamental right to strike
was to be fought to a finish under these
circumstances unfavorable to labor. The
working man was to be taught a lesson.
Any attempts to meet the miners' de-
mands, as was suggested by Cyrus Eaton,
one of the southern Operators, was con-
sidered treason against the efforts to
curb labor.
It is significant that Mr. Lewis (after
calling a strike as *n opportunist move to
discredit the announced wage struggle of
the CIO) should capitulate just as a united
front by the large unions was rapidly being
formed. Phillip Murray had appealed for
unity "against the ferocious attack being
made upon us." Mr. Whitney of the Rail-
road Brotherhoods offered his support. Even
though Mr. Green refused to ally himself
with the rank and file of his union, the
majority of the AFL locals, throughout the
nation, had raised their voices against the
government tyranny. - In short, Mr. Lewis
took the responsibility for creating the
sentiment against labor, for which the re-
actionaries in Congress have been waiting,
then did a complete about face and refused
support from the whole labor movement,
in a fight which concerns them all.
CONTRARY to what the press reported
as a strike by four hundred thousand
miners against an abstract entity, "gov-
ernment," the conflict was far more basic
and broad. It was a fight between a few
determined capitalists and the whole of
. the labor movement, which implicates
every other sector of the American econ-
omy thereby affected.
One need not to go to Karl Marx for ex-
pressions of the conflict which is inherent
in our economy. As far back as 1861, Pres-
ident Lincoln said, in his annual message
to Congress, "Labor is prior to, and inde-
pendent of capital. Capital is only the
fruit of labor, and could never have existed
if labor had not existed first. Labor is the
superior of capital and deserves much the
higher consideration."
Whoever does deny the reality of this
fundamental struggle which does exist
between monopoly capital and labor, to-
day, might do well to peruse Professor
Vernon L. Parrington's "Main Currents
of American Thoughts," in which the
conflicting thought during the rise of the
Industrial class is traced very thoroughly.
PERHAPS, more than any single period
in our history, these past few weeks
bear out the struggle which is reaching the
height of its development, between those
few who own so much, who control the
greater part of the economy, as against the
laborer and the small businessman. This
handful of capitalists, through a controlled
press and radio, have carried out an un-
abated campaign, since the war's end, to
throw the labor movement into the weak-

ened position it occupies today, after Lewis'
single handed sell-out. In Mr. Murray's
words, "The stage is set for the Eightieth
Congress to be met by national hysteria
deliberately fomented and inspired."
Yes, the reactionaries in Congress have
gained the, sentiment for which they were
waiting - far below the surface, however,
beneath the laundry bag and the Wagner
Act, exists the struggle of the working man
for his share in the nation's economy.

"VOGUE" . . . consists of 325 large quarto
pages, of which no less than 15 are
given up to articles on world politics, litera-
ture, etc. The rest consists entirely of pic-
tures . . . of ball dresses, mink coats, step-
ins, panties, brassieres, silk stockings, slip-
pers, perfumes, iipstick, nail polish-and, of
course, of the women, unrelievedly beautiful,
who wear them or make use of them.
One striking thing, when one looks at
these pictures, is the overbred, exhausted,
even decadent style of beauty that now
seems to be striven after. Nearly all of these
women are immensely elongated. A thin-
boned, ancient-Egyptian type of face seems
to predominate; narrow hips are general,
and slender, non-prehensile hands like those
of a lizard are quite universal. Evidently it
is a real physical type. . . ."

To the Editor:
IN TODAY'S DAILY was pub-
lished a letter by a reader who
seemed to place too much em-
phasis on lack of "prejudice" as
the "criterion for judging" edu-
cation. I refer to the letter en-
titled "Prejudice."
There is much talk of prejudice,
and reader Hall is certainly cor-
rect in saying that it is a human
failing, which should be overcome
by education. But there are two
basic fallacies in his theme:
1) Truth is the primary ob-
ject of education, (or it should be)
and:
2) What is not true, is false-
of course, there are degres of
falsity.
This is a world of imperfect be-'
ings-the" human beings are the
most capable of being least per-
fect, because by their volition, or
will-power, they can guide them-

selves, driven by mistaken ideas, to
depths of imperfection deeper
than those of any irrational or
inanimate being. So, this imper-
fection is part of us, and must
be accepted, yet we must not be
discouraged from seeking perfec-
tion. In this search, we imperfect
beings concoct all sorts of political,
economic and even religious ideas.
But can we forget that there is
but one truth? No, we don't for-
get that. But what is true? "Aye,
there's the rub;" there is the cause
of Republican sympathizing, of
Democratic sympathizing and es-
pecially of "Red-baiting."
There are those whose intellec-
tual application to study has led
them to the conclusion that
Christianity-which, incidentally,
is the basis of our American con-
stitutional philosophy-is truth, or
as close to truth as imperfect man
can approach. Among these are
men with strong enough convic-
tions to oppose and denounce any-
thing which "perverts" or opposes
truth. Some might call this pre-
judice.
I would suggest, as did reader
Hall, that "facts and thinking"
can be applied to the cards which
are stacked on the table. Thus,
untruth-the tools of the "scourge
of cheap politics"-might someday
be stamped out.

To the Editor:
WHILE perusing through the lo-
cal dailies and plunging head-
long midst the usual collection of
humdrum articles, we came across
one of inspiring interest with the
somewhat ludicrous headline, to
wit, "Co-eds Want Slacks Back."
The catastrophic implications
were of such overwhelming pro-
portions that my colleagues and
I were taken aghast. "Heavens to
Betsy," we ejaculated, almost as
a man, ". ..can this be true??"
What has happened to the red-
blooded American girl? Where is
that well known sagacity and in-
testinal fortitude of American
womenhood? Surely, there is
nothing more soul inspiring, noth-
ing that will stimulate the aes-
thetic qualities of man, more than
the silhouette of a well shaped
gam or gams. Forsooth, there is
no need to drape the shape. 'Tis
shocking! The cold you say. bah
sh. courage, courage ... chin up!
In closing we would like to add,
that we hope this epistle will be
published in order to raise the
morale of those gals that .are suf-
fering from the frosty and clutch-
ing fingers of ole man winter.
