substantive rights equivalent to those

Proposal for Intervention.
The Senator referred with some
sarcasm to the recent proposal by the
National Association Of Manufacturers
for Federal Intervention in labor dis

sistence that the national labor rela-

the Federal Government has no power

Democrat. of Texas termed the sit.
down strikes practice an issue "in-
hnitely more important than the
Supreme Court reform" as he APP
pealed to the House Rules Committee
to report out favorably his resolution
calling for a thorough investigation
into the causes and background OF this
new labor technique.
Because two other members OF the
committee. Of which Dies himself is
| a member, indicated determined oppo-
sition to his resolution and the ques-
ton of obtaining further information
on the whole issue from outside
sources was raised, the committee cur
tailed its open hearing on the resolu-
ton temporarily to discuss further
procedure In executive session.
1t seemed likely, however, that more
extensive open hearings will be held
on the resolution. possibly with labor
and industry representatives invited
to present testimony.
Charges Communist Influence.
In substance, Dies argumen on be-
half Of his resolution was oentered
principally on the alleged communist
influence In the Michigan Nt-dovn
strikes in plants OF General Motors
and Chrysler Corps.
Foreign" speakers, he declared.
have been numerous through the strike
areas, as communists literally de-
scended" on Detroit. In addition, he
charged, complaints have been made
to him that "racketeers" from Chi
cago and New York have invaded the
strike zone to play . prominent part"
in the labor activities.
Citing section S2ss of the Revived
Statutes OF the United States A. ap-
plicable to the present situation IN
permitting Federal Intervention, Dies
suggested a ruling on this issue from
the Attorney General, adding his con-
victior that the antitrust laws would
be applicable II the quoted statute is
not.
From outside the committee came
a strongly worded protest against the
resolution and defense of tho strikers
contained In 4 statement presented
to the committee and released to the
press by Representative Teigan.
Farmer La borite Of Minnesota.
Representative Teigan's statement
follows:
" am unalterably opposed to any
attempt to legislate against labors
methods to better its conditions. am
particularly opposed to the resolution
offered by Mr.. Dies calling for an
investigation OF sit-down strikes by 4
special committee OF the House. 1t
Is perfectly clear that this resolution
would permit, under the cloak Of
congressional investigation, q reac-
tionary expedition against unionism.
1t would present to the enemies Of
labor . gift, which they would use for
nothing except the suppression Of
democratic rights.
1.-THE sit-down strikers are strug-
Cling merely for the basic rights which
are guaranteed to them by law. Their
struggle Is to secure their legal right
to join unions and to bargain collcc-
lively through representatives Of their
own choosing, free from the opposi-
hon Of the employers stool pigeons
and sunmen."
