Labor Dept Jockeys on
Revocation of GardOs'
Citizenship Papers

DAILY Worker Washington Bureau)
WASHINGTON, March s.-While
the House Immigration Committee
considered legislation to tighten the
bars against immigrants, the Dept.
Of Labor yesterday declared it
had mo record other than applica-
ton for citizenship" in the case Of
Emil Gardos, foreign born Com
munist labor leader, whose Ameri-
can citizenship was revoked Mon
day by a Federal Court decision in
Milwaukee.
Representative Dies Of Texas, red
hunting prepayment Of the reStric-
ton bills, tried to bully them
through the committee today with
out hearing all opponents. He was
restrained only by an announce
ment that Secretary Of State Hull
wants to speak on them.
mo Record" of CARLOS
The Labor Department said 1t had
no record of an order for deporta-
ton Of Gardos, nor Of any activity
on the part of any Labor Depart
ment agent In connection with the
prosecution. The decision, decIar-
ing Carlos citizenship invalid on
the ground that Gardos couldnt
truthfully take the oath Of citizen
ship at a time when he was already
a Communist, rendered him liable
to deportation to fascist Hungary.
His case is being appealed to the
district federal court.
Labor Department spokesman said
the Justice Department must have
aided in the prosecution. Inquiries
at that department met a promise to
look up the matter. Efforts to ques-
ton Secretary of Labor Frances Per-
kins on CARLOS fundamental rights

political party he chose, received the

ing the A. F. of L. bureaucrats.
They will pull you out of tight
hole that you cannot drag your
self out of. You have at times been
too reluctant to utilize these fellows
when THEIR INTERESTS ARE
YOUR INTERESTS"
General johnson informs the
bosses from long experience that
the government has utilized these
bureaucrats as an official govern
ment apparatus in breaking strikes.
From the very passage of the N.
r. A. the Daily Worker pointed out
that the A. F. of l.. bureaucracy
was offering itself to the most
powerful strikebreakers in the place
of company unions. On June 90,
1888, when the N. r. A. was first
adopted, In an article appearing in
the Daily Worker, I wrote:
"An ambition, long latent, has
been stirred anew in the breast of
the A. F. of L. leaders by the N.
R. A. That is, to become the Of

corporations.

It Is for these reasons that Cen
eral johnson, right hand man for
Bernard Baruch. Wall Street specu-
lator, and close conf1dant of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the leading
Morgan and Rockefeller bankers,
pleads with the bosses to utilize
the A. F. Of l.. off1cialdom at cri-
tical moments in the place of their
company unions.
Continuing his theme Of "their
interests are your interests" in a
less public place General johnson
would explain his views about as
follows: Nov with the strike-wave
sweeping the country, with the pos
sibility it will take the proportions
OF q whirlwind, you may not be able
to rely on your company unions.
If you do, the workers may crack
down on you. II you want to block
this epidemic Of strikes, and pre-
serve what the N. r. A. has given
you. then utilize Bill Green and his
associates In place of your COM
pany union Frankenstein. You have
to have flexible policy to meet the
volatile situation. Wherever you
can, by all means hold the COM
pany unions. Hasn't our chief
counsel Richberg made II clear to

National Labor Board and Weirton

Here the National Labor Board
stepped in. The A. F. Of L. leaders.
together with the representatives of
the big capitalists ON this Board
ordered the Weirton steel workers
to stop the strike. They promised
them an election to choose their
own representatives and collective
bargaining" to discuss their de-
mands. With the strike effectively
broken, all promises we're brutally
ignored.
Here we must diyest the A. F. of
L. officialdom Of their demagogic
mask in the Weirton case. These
union officials directly participated
In putting over the decision that
ended the strike with defeat for the
workers. They kept dangling before
the workers the National Board
promises. After liquidating the
strike on the basis of promises,
these leaders then appeared as
"critics" Of the Weirton Steel Com
pany for failure to comply, FOR
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-03-09

failure to permit the workers to
organize and bargain collectively
They do this, not because they pro-
pose to organize or prepare strike
struggles to win improvements for
the Weirton workers Cor others
They come forward in this pose in
order to continue the work they
began, to continue to be able to
act in the role of strikebreaker
from more advantageous position.
What johnson actually is doing,
when he tells the employers 1t is
better to deal with such tried peo-
pie, than with the Frankenstein
company unions, Is to relate to
them somewhat as follows: "Mr.
Weirton, and other gentlemen who
control industry: You do not have
to be afraid of these fellows. They
will give you exactly the same con-
ditions you have imposed on the
workers with less trouble than you
have now with your company
unions"

sions, believing they were helping
the administration against chiseling
employers, now the strikes have
taken on sharper form.
The strikes are taking on a more
marked political character, with
the issues becoming more clearly
defined as a fight against the N.
r. A. itself. It is this change in
the character of the strike move
ment, the shift in the mood Of the
masses regarding the N.R.A., that
causes General johnson TO step
cut more boldly and show the sup
preSstve face Of the MIRA. against
the workers. It motivates his blunt
way Of putting forward the A. r, OF
L. leaders in their role as agents OF
the big trusts In breaking the ire
nendous strike wave.
More than eight months after this
was written, we have the open en-
dorsement by johnson Of the A. r.
Of L. officialdm as the most eff
fective strikebreaking weapon, as
an agent Of the bosses' government,
and as best substitute for COM
pany unions.

GENERAL johnson. in his con-
u Guiding speech to the Washing
ton meeting Of 1000 expIoiters who
control the lives Of 80 per cent Of
the workers under codes, openly en-
dorsed the A. z. Of L. bureaucracy
as the best instrument for helping
the government and the bosses to
smash strikes.
The chief MIRA. administrator
addressed the gathering as Gentle
men in control Of industry" And to
these gentlemen who squeeze profits
out Of the toll of the workers, he
put forward, amid thunderous ap-
plause, the governments strike
breaking program.
I'VE know something about
what is toward in this country
the worst epidemic of strikes in
our history" he said. "Why suffer
it? Here is way ont. Play the
game. Submit to the law and get
it over quickly"
AS Roosevelt's spokesman on the
NR.A., General johnson puts for
ward the fact that the whole work
ing class is aroused to struggle,
with strikes surging in the most
powerful citadelS of capitalism,
threatening the cooie wage struc-
ture set UP by the MIRA. He tells
the bosses they do not have to
stand for it, and if they "play the
game" the law viii get 1t over
quickly.
He then makes some startling
admissions, in his discussion on
company unions.
Comfort TO the Workers Enemies

comfort. 1 know your problems.

Green, John Lewis, Ed McGrady,

TERESTS and under the law and
in this modern day, 1t is the best
and quickest way to economic
peace. Here IS one cloud that we
can erase from our horizon with
one stroke. Let's do It." (Our en-
phasis.)
Before we deIve into the ample
strikebreaking experience of Cen
eral johnson, in his association
with the gentlemen he named, let
us touch on the cause for the "epi-
demic of strikes" raging throughout
the country.
The NR.A., thickly Iarded with
Roosevelt's. the A. F. of L. leaders.
and the Socialist Party demagogy,
has shifted tremendous burdens on
the backs Of the workers. It has In
tensified monopoly, trust develop
ment, increasing profits. All Of this
was done at the expense of ire
mendously lowering the workers
living standards.

A. F. of L. Merge With Government Apparatus

The whole participation of the

tration of the MIRA. is not in the
interest of labor. They have be-

paratus, merging completely with
the government on the basis that
their interests are the interests of
the big trusts.

Ohio Foundry Men
Reject Go. Union

CLEvELAND.-By a decisive vote
last week the workers Of the Ohio
Foundry Company rejected the
company union in favor Of a union
Of their own choosing. The defeat
Of the inside" union was the most
sweeping In the foundry itself,
where out of a total Of Its workers
only three voted for the company
union.
This determined stand OF the
workers for a union Of their own
choosing is all the more striking IN
view Of the fact that the workers
were not notified in advance that
they were to vote on a union.
Following this decision, meeting
Of all the workers was called %
