 Look Out, Legislators!
 The pill is coated with a sanc- tlmonious quotation from Justice Brandeis of the United States Supreme Court. Is larded with pious platitudes about the necessity of industrial peace, and soft-soaped with plen- teous protestations of the re- sponsibility which the Manufac- turers Association of Connecticut feels towards all who work for them. There are, of course, penal ties for violation of the act. To make It look on the up-and-up employers are to be penalized 5000 for acts of intimidation and individuals by a fine of $500 or. 8 years imprisonment. There is neither need nor space available to analyze thoroughly the charac-- ter of bill about which the ex- act details are wanting at the mo- ment. Legislators and individuals and groups in their constitu- encies whose support MT. Hubbard solicits an excellent word - should go over the bill with Q ni- scroscope for two reasons. The sponsors of the measure throw 1t open to suspicion at once. The Manufacturers Association of Connecticut is interested primar- fly and solely in what concerns the Manufacturer Association of Connecticut. It cares not tink- CTS dam for either worker or pulp lie. The second reason is that the provisions as outlined by its propagandist, MT. Hubbard, irri- tate any thinking person.
 General Strike ,
 The general strike is not strike in the true sense of the term. It is by it's very nature illegal and therefore requires no legislation to make it so. It is neither acc tuated nor carried out in the fur therance of any union principle. It is, as any fool knows, an cr- ganized effort to overthrow the existing government by force. It is in short, revolution. That was the reason for its failure in Eng land. It was not defeated there because the nation at large Ee- lieved the participants in 1t were not suffering from industrial in justice. It was beaten because Ii successful 1t meant the destruc- ton of the form of government which the English people wished to be preserved.
 The Sympathetic Strike
 The sympathetic strike is alto gether different in nature and a.'- plication. To combine the two ls unwarranted but quite typical 0f the tactics commonly pursued by organizations like that for which MT. Hubbard speaks. The sympa- thetic strike is one in which sev- cral unions participate although they are not immediately involved but which if smashed means their own destruction later on; or 1t is one by which several unions by c0ntractual agreement promise net to work with fion-unionists or ,.lth scabs. Just as every reaction- ary employing interest has now combined sympatheticelIy to Aip- port General Motors in it's fight against the unionization of its workers because Of the fear that if the unions win out against G.M. the reactionary employing inter" estg are going to be the next to be threatened by A unionization movement.
