Replying to request from Repre-

sylvAnia for Qualification of her
attitude toward sit-downs in view
OF her assertion during the General
Motors strike that the legality of sit
downs had not been determined, Miss
Perkins said:
1T Is not and never has been an
ofilcial position of the Department Of
Labor or Of the Secretary that sit
down strikes are either lawful, desir-
able or appropriate.
In fact, the officers of the de-
partment and the Secretary have
urged union leaders and members not
to use the method and to bend every
effort to take the men out of 4 plant
where used. In many cases they
have done so.
From many aspects the method
appears to be one which should be
abandoned. Not only has the United
States Circuit Court OF Appeals. third
judicial circuit, declared 1t unlawful.
1t is also full of hazards to the pro-
gressive, democratic development of
trade unionism and to the orderly
process OF collective bargaining and
cooperation with employers on the
basis OF recognized status.
Abuses Are Feared.
There are many possibilities of its
abuse and the hazard of lack of dis

method has been used for hundreds
and perhaps thousands of year by
