Plans Drastic
Reorganization
Continued From Page 81

ment of an Auditor General who
will make a genuine audit of gov
ernment expenditures to Congress
each year. This will restore to the
executive, the President said, "com-
plete responsibility for accounts and
current transactions"
The reorganization process, it is
understood, will take place over a
period of years, providing Congress
grants the necessary authorizations,
with the President having the dis
cretion to shift bureaus as he sees fit.
AS outlined by the Presidents
committee on government reorgani-
cation, consisting of Louis Brown
low, Charles Merriam, and Luther
Gulick, the function of the new De-
partment of Public Welfare would
be to "advise the President with re-
gard to social welfare"
It would also administer federal
health, educational and social activi-
ties, conduct research in these fields,
administer federal grants for such
purposes, protect the consumer, con-
duct the social security programs, adj
minister federal charity, correction
and penal institutions, and admins
ter probation and parole.
The new Department of Public
Works would advise the President
with regard to public works, design,
construct and maintain large scale
public works which are not Incl
dental to the normal work of other
departments, administer federal
grants, and gather information with
regard to public works standards
throughout the nation.
All independent commissions, such
as the Int state Commerce Commits
sion, will lose their independent
status under the reorganization pro-
cedure and all the business of gov
ernment would be conducted under
the 10 departments now existing and
the two to be created.
The Presidents plans were greeted
with protest by various members of
Congress, and indications were plain
that the proposals will not be ap-
proved without struggle.

for weeks or months without saying
anything. Politicians just dote on
nice juicy campaign issues which
give them chance to exhibit their
oratorical powers, on which they can
spout political hooey and hot air,
making promises galore without
committing themselves and rest Sc
cure in the knowledge that when
the heat of the campaign is over
they have a nice air tight alibi. If
you don't believe this statement just
show a politician that kind of cam
paign issue and see his mouth water,
watch him peel his coat and wade
into it with flag in each hand while
he points with pride or views with
alarm, as the case may be.
But if you want to secure the ever
lasting daylights out of the politi-
clans just raise an issue on which he
has little chance to sidestep and
where he can see no cast iron alibi,
such as how the state or nation is to
provide for its unemployed or feed
its hungry people.
Whenever you raise or suggest a
solution of the problem in the pres
ence of democratic or republican
politician, you have saved yourself
the price of theater ticket with the
assurance that you will see far
better show. The politician will turn
pale, then he will turn red, grit his
teeth, tear his hair, wave his arms
shake his fists and call upon all the
saints, angels archangels and the
holy trinity to witness that you are
disciple of Upton Sinclair, Emma
Golden and Eugene V. Debs, who in
turn worshiped at the knees of Karl
Mark and Frederick Engels, two
friends direct from the lowest and
blacklist pits of He'll If you can view
his performance from some little dis
tance you will derive keen enjoy
ment from it. but do not approach
too close else you may be withered
or at least badly blistered by the
eruption of hot air.
So of course the present proposal
to increase the number of justices of
the Supreme Court offers a nice, safe
political issue upon which the pro-
ponents and opponents can expend
weeks of oratory and millions of
cubic feet of hot air. AS for me, | fail
to see how adding six more imbeciles
to an insane asylum can improve the
l. Q. Intelligence quotient to YOU
of the institution.
1t strikes me that the main issue
of interest to the majority of the
public is not whether it shall be Five
to Four, or Eight to Seven, but
whether it will still remain

RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, Tom Mooney has been
incarcerated in San Quentin Prison
for twenty years, the victim of a
vicious anti-union frame-up, con-
ceived and effected by certain un-
principled special interests in Cali
fornia; and
WHEREAS, It has long been
known and fully proved that Tom
Mooney is innocent of the crime for
which he was convicted, and that he
was railroaded to prison by means
of perjured testimony known to and,
in fact, contrived at by the District
Attorney who prosecuted the case,
and that evidence favorable to
Mooney was wilfully suppressed by
the District Attorney; and,
WHEREAS, Tom Mooney was de-
MED every senblance of fair and
impartial trial and was convicted not
for the crime he was alleged to have
committed but because of his active,
militant work in the labor move
ment and organizing the morgan
lied; and
WHEREAS, Three Presidential
Commissions studied the case and
published conclusions that Tom
Mooney was denied a fair trial and
convicted by means of perjured testi-
mony; and
WHEREAS, All persons and
groups interested in seeing justice
done in this country believe that the
frightful wrong inflicted upon Tom
Mooney must be remedied, and the
State of California wipe the black
mark Of the Mooney case from its
record; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the SAN FRAN
CISCO LABOR COUNCIL call upon
the Legislature of the State of Cali
fornia to Immediately pass the mea-
sure now before it calling for full
and complete pardon for Tom
Mooney, and the SAN FRANCISCO
LABOR COUNCIL hereby calls upon
the Legislature of the State of Cali
fornia to grant said full and COM
plete pardon to Tom Mooney imme-
diately; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a Committee
from the SAN FRANCISCO LABOR
COUNCIL be appointed to immedi-
ately call upon all the Assemblymen
and Senators from this area and re-
quest that they vote in favor Of said
Tom Mooney pardon; and be it
further
RESOLVED, That the representa-
tive of the SAN FRANCISCO La
BOR COUNCIL at Sacramento be in
structed to and that he work in
furtherance of the passage of said
Tom Mooney pardon; and be it
finally
RESOLVED, That copies of this
Resolution be sent to each and every

ate of the State of California, the

LIST AND COMMENT
ON LABOR BILLS

not remote chance of it passing
both houses. Their purpose in do
ing this was so they could point with
pride to their constituents that they
were for Labor" There was al
ways a group in the senate who
would vote for some piece of labor
legislation in the morning, and in
the afternoon would be instrumental
in slaughtering every piece of labor
legislation which appeared. Another
group would slaughter labor iegisla-
ton in the morning and would go
for it "in a big way" in the after
noon. 1t was a case of you scratch
my back and l will scratch yours" :"
They always tried to be in position
to point to some piece of labor legis-
lation which they had voted for, so
they could say that they were ia
boris champion" 1t was rather odd
to see these gentlemen vote to kill a
bill on general file and then reverse
their position and vote for the mea-
sure after a roll call was ordered.
The results obtained in the Senate
show that the reactionary group pre-
dominated. There was one consoling
feature about the makeup of the
Senate in that there was a group
of staunch progressives who fought
to the bitter end against tremendous
odds. (This honor roll will be pub
lished in future issue of the Labor
News)
The makeup in the House was
much better. It was very easy to
pass labor bills through the House.
This may have been due to the fact
that the corporations knew that they
could stop it in the senate. One of
the lessons learned from experience
at the last two sessions is, that labor
has been lax in active participation
in politics. They have been told
time and again that politics was no
place for labor unions" This song
has been dinned into their ears by
the mouthpieces of the corporate in
terests; but do the corporations prac-
tice this? Not so you could notice.
At every session you can find repre-
sentatives of the A. c. M. Co, the
Montana Power Co., the Northern
Pacific Company, the Telephone
Company, and many more, too nu-
merous to mention. They work as
a unit. They have a common cause.
But they have been successful in
keeping labor split. Labor too has
a lobby, but if labor would get into
politics with "both feet" they could
save the expense of maintaining this
lobby. Organized labor, in conjunc-
ton with organized agriculture and
the small taxpayers, should pick
their representatives and senators
from their own ranks and back them
to the limit. This is the only way
that they will get the sort of legis-
lation that they are entitled to. II
will eliminate the recent fiasco, in
which six members of the Silver
Bow delegation, some of whom were
endorsed by labor, betrayed the
wishes of their constituents, and
bowed to the dictates of their mas
ters-the corporations.
