What and Who Are Behind the
"Black Legion?"

The murderous Black Legion" has given the
American people a f~oretaste of what is to come
if the American working class and all oppressed
sections of the American population do not unite
to smash every fascist tendency existing in this
country today.
The true significance of the BLACK Legion"
comes to light in the statement of William
Green, president of the A. F.. of l., to Attorney
General Cummings, that the A. F. of L. has
definite evidence pointing to cooperation be-
tween the "Black Legion" and labor spies.
Green's statement is backed up by the officials
of the A.. F. of L. Auto Workers Union in De-
troit. The Michigan authorities have informa-
ton that John L. Bielak, active unionist in the
auto industry, was kidnapped and murdered by
the Black Legion" after members of the fascist
organization at the plant in which Bielak worked
to demand his discharge as a Communist"
For anyone with the simple ability to put two
and two together, it's a cinch to see where the
Black Legion" has been getting its inspiration.
Just remember that the BLACK Legion had its
base in the Detroit-Flint automobile industry
area that one Of the big industrial powers in
that area is General Motors; that the BLACK
Legion" plotted its crimes in a Republican Club,
and that General Motors magnates like Raskob
and Sloan are big-wigs behind the a%vowedly
fascist-minded American Liberty League, which
takes in the most bIackly reactionary elements
Of the Republican Party, as well as the more
openly reactionary Democrats.
The BLACK Legion" numbered in its ranks
and among its leadership SO many members of
the police forces in Michigan and other cities,
and involved SO many figures who hold impor-
tant political office, that a real down-to-the-
bottom investigation and swift punishment Of
the active instigators- of its crimes is hardly to
be expected under the present kind of political
set-up. Indeed, the Department Of Justice, al
ways ready to persecute militant workers, has
shown no eagerness to do anything about the
"Black Legion."ZWestern Worker.

The agreement calls for a united drive, under
strong centralized direction, along the industrial
lines which the very nature of the steel industry
demands. 1t is such a drive as large numbers
of steel workers have long been clamoring for,
and will be under the aggressive leadership Of
John L. Lewis and other unionists who have
proved that mass industrial organization cam
paigns can be successful.
It is assured of the support Of some Of the
most powerful unions in the A. F. of L., which
are ready to supply trained organizers, the
wealth of their experience and hundreds of
thousands Of dollars in hard cash.
All the conditions are present for success.
The struggle will be colossal, it is true, against
the most powerful anti-labor financial interests
in the world. But equally colossal are the stakes
for labor, and equally great the labor determine
ton to carry this drive through to final success,
no matter how long it takes nor how hard the
battle.
Unionization of steel will carry over into all
the other great industries. 1t will lay the basis
for a mightier labor movement than has ever
been known. Labor has a world to win in the
struggle that is about to begin.

One of the most vicious applications
of law to the activities Of organized la
Dor has been and continues to be the
labor injunctions. The forces of or
ganized labor have fought an unceas-
ing battle against the injunction writ
which has been continuously issued by
judges at the behest OF employers and
employers associations.
The history of organized labor in
America bristles with instances in
which strikes have been broken by in
functions. The prohibitions Of the in
junction writ have, IN various occas-
ions, covered every possible form OF
collective bargaining activity. Labor
has sought to fight against the in
junction menance by means of influ-
encing the enactment Of state and fed
eral laws restricting the use of injun-
ctions in labor disputes. From the ex-
perience OF the past 80 years, it is be-
ginning to be realized that the ingen-
uity of anti-union judges and lawyers
has been more than sufficient to nulli-
fly the express prohibitions of these
anti-injunction statutes.

Used Against Labor
When the Clayton Act was passed
labor hailed the act as a Magma Car
ta." Experience very soon disillusion-
ed the workers, when they not only
saw many injunctions issued in spite
of the act, but in addition, when they
saw a number OF injunctions issued be-
cause of the provisions OF the act
which prohibited a restraint on inter-
state commerce.
Likewise, organized labor became
overjoyed when the Norris-LaGuardia
Anti-Injunction Act was passed on
March %, 1882. That law appeared to
give labor a greater protection against
injunctions than labor had ever been
given before. Among other things, II
provided that no temporary injunction
could be issued unless a hearing was
had on the facts, and unless the court
on the basis OF the evidence, issued
findings IF fact to the effect that IT.

There are many inconsistencies in the
decision, the most glazing Of which
deal with the finding that the picket
ing was for an illegal purpose. The
court held that the company permit
ted the members to join a union; that
the employees had chosen the COM
pany union (Which the court holds is
a Legitimate" organization that the
union is an interloper; that, therefore,
there is no labor dispute between the
company and the union; and that there
fore, the Norris-LaGuardia Act does
not apply. (What logicD
1t is significant to note, however,
that although the court said that the
act does not apply it invoked several
sections Of the act by the terms Of
which the right of employees to choose
their own representative Tin this case
the company union) was established.
The court interpreted this labor dis
Montana labor news., 1936-06-25

pute contrary to the clear intent Of
the statute. There is a provision in
the act which was designed to extend
the boundaries of a labor dispute far
beyond the scope of previous hold
ings which had limited it to the dispute
between the employer and his employ
ees. The court refused to consider the
earlier decisions under the act which
had been decided, favorably to or
gained labor.
One Of those cases cinderella Thea
tire VS.. Sign Writers Union) presented
the same situation as was presented in
the case OF the meat cutters. In that
case, the court refused to issue an in
junction because Of the far intent Of
the act to extend the definition OF a
labor dispute.
Return to Old Ways
Without going further into the tech
meal distinction invoked by the court
to justify its anti-union approach, it
can readily be understood that this
| case marks a return to the days be-
fore anti-injunction legislation when
it was not necessary to have a hear
ing in the Federal courts before issuing
an injunction. This decision is a prac-
teal notification Of the anti-injunction
law.
Experience of this nature must give
| organized labor cause to evaluate its
efforts in connection with further an
ti-injunction legislation. There is a
growing body Of opinion to the effect
that legal protection, e. if won and
later nullified, brings with it legal re-
gulation and control. Labor must
jealousy and zealously guard its free
dom. If legal protection brings with
it a consequent legal control and sup
ervision, it may be that the gift may
turn out to be a Trojan Horse.
Legal Reforms Only Stop-Gsps
It may be that labor will realize tha'
legal reforms at best, are only tenn
porary stop-gaps, and that under oul
existing system they can only be ef-
fective when they are considered a.
temporary advancements in the indus
trial struggle for a more complete ulti-
mate change whereby labor has a wild
err measure of security than can be
possibly guaranteed to them at the
present time.

also that violence had been committed.
In addition, the act provided that even
if an injunction were issued, it could
not restrain a number of acts nee
essary to the carrying on of a strike,
such as peaceful persuasion, peaceful
assemblage, advertising a strike by var
ious means, and peaceful picketing.

Anti Injunction Act Nullified
The act further provides that no
injunction shall be issued if the en-
ployer has failed to make every rea-
sonable effort to settle the dispute.
The act has now been in force for
four years. During that time a num-
Der of decisions have been rendered by
the Federal courts. Although it APP
peared at the outset that a number of
injunctions we're prevented because OF
its limitations, a number Of recent de-
cisions have paved the way for the
complete judicial notification of the
important provisions OF the law.
The most important Of these cases
has arisen in connection with the strike
called by the Amalgamated Meat Cut
tiers & Butchers Workmen Of North
America, Local 70, against the Simmer
Co., which operates five meat markets
in Milwaukee, Wis. The company had
organized a company union and refused
to enter into a contract with Local 70
Despite the fact that the company had
coerced its employees into joining the
company union, the Circuit Court Of
Appeals affirmed a decision of the Dis
trict Court in which an injunction was
granted, which prohibited every form
Of strike activity.

Ey the Associated Press.

Opposition by the American Liberty
League to the New Deal was attrib-
uted last night by Senator Schwellen-
bach, Democrat, of Washington to a
combination of Du Pont financial sup
port and administration efforts to keep
America out of future wars.
Saying in radio address that Of
$483,O0O contributed to the league last
year S270,000 came from the Du Pont
family, he asserted:
What is the business Of the Du
Points? 1t is the manufacture of NUM-
tions, the sordid business of war. The
profits of the munitions industry come
from the killing or manning Of the
young manhood of the world"
Administration neutrality legislation.
he continued, is not only intended to
prevent American participation in an
other war, but forbids shipment of
munitions to belligerent nations.
Under it, he added, there will be no
$237 100000 munitions profits for the
Du Pont, a figure which he said was
their margin in the last war.
SchWellenbach, a member of the
Senate Lobby Committee, also under
severe attack from the league, spoke
after Chairman Black had gone be-
fore the House Rules Committee with
a plea for approval of a $4,000 ap-
preparation to fight an injunction
suit brought against the committee by
William Randolph Hearst. The Rules

\ QUEER GAME OF HIDE
 AND SEEK

YER in the Green Forest O where the moonlight slfted down through the tops of the silver trees, began a queer game of hide and seek. Buster Bear was it" Danny Meadow Mouse was hiding. Buster Bear was "it," for his stom- ach's sake. Danny wasn't enjoy ing 1t at all.
 By the time Buster Bear had whirled around after Danny had surprised and startled him by run ming out from under his very paw as he started to rake over a little pile of leaves in search of beech nuts, Danny had. as you know, dis appeared. He had darted behind the trunk of big tree. For a couple of minutes Buster stood per fectly still. He was listening. He was listening for the rustic of a leaf to tell him in which direction Danny had gone. But not leaf rustled. Buster couldn't hear the faintest sound to tell him that there was another living thing any where about.
 '.Now, where can that scamp have gone to?" muttered Buster. ''He certainly hasn't gone far. He must be right around here some where. Probably he Is hiding un- der some of these leaves. I'll pull over a few of them and find out"
 So Buster began to rake over the leaves all about with his great claws just as he had been doing

Now, Buster Bear, as l said be- fore, can move quickly, but he can not run around a tree trunk as fast as little Meadow Mouse can. He soon found that out. Danny al- ways managed to keep the trunk of that tree between them. Finally Buster Bear gave up running around that tree and sat up to think. On the other side of that tree crouched the most frightened Meadow Mouse in all the Great World, wondering what would hap pen next, and trembling so that he shook all over. Danny had played many games of hide and seek in his life, but never one in which he had felt so wholly helpless as he did now.
