Business, ,is not the only thing on the

A WARNING TO LABOR
FROM ITS OWN RANKS

That the gravest danger to organized
labor in the United States comes from
organized labor itself has at last been
realized by constructive leaders of the
working men. The belief is not new.
nor has it been confined entirely to en-
ployers. but now for the first time one
of labor's ranking officials sounds
warning that all laborers should heed.
Joseph N Weber, for 10 years a vice
president of the American Federation
of Labor and for SO years president
of the American Federation of Musi-
clans, cannot be called anything but a
representative of labor. Certainly he
has at heart the interest of the work
ing classes Yet it is he who warns that
America must choose between native
principles and those imported from for
eign countries-and that quickly.
His warning is timely one. 1t comes
pertinently into the picture of strife
which threatens the foundation of AM
erican industry. 1t is not a pronounce
ment of the minute, a passing state
ment; it is an observation which might
well be taken to heart by all Americans.
There are forces within the ranks of
organized labor attempting to build
their strength on foundation of class
hatred. John L. Lewis Committee for
Industrial Organization is one. Leaders
in the Pacific coast maritime strike,
headed by foreign-born Harry Bridges,
make up another Their aim evidently
is not the individual betterment Of the
laborer; but the building up of a Jug
gernaut of power centralized in the
hands of one small group. Such power
would not help the working man. 1t
would harm him, in the end. 1t would
make him a slave to men far more self
ish, far more dictatorial, than any he
now serves.
America was built on a policy of
democracy, in which any man is entitled
to express his own opinion and to drive
his own bargain American laborers will
not willingly hand over to self-centered,
self-styled leaders the right to speak
for them. They will not give into the
hands of three or four men the right
to bargain for millions. Yet that is
what Lewis, Bridges and their COM
panions want.
Within the American Federation of
Labor itself is Struggle between the fac
ton seeking almighty power, and the
leaders who actually seek the better
ment of the laboring man through his
local action.
1t will be sad day for organized
labor in America if the dictatorial chief
tains win.

ENCOURAGING LIGHT
ON RECOVERY

One of the most optimistic notes yet
struck in the symphony of prosperity
during the last few months is seen IN
bank summaries which report that bus
mess, on an average has steadily in
creased during the last three months.
1t is all the more encouraging because
no one should have been bitterly disap-
pointed at temporary standstill IN
progress, considering freezing weather
and industrial strikes.
If business is good enough to sur
mount the obstacles of strike, natural
calamity and increased federal taxes,
then business is on an eminently sound
foundation. It's prosperity is not a mere
boom, it is a continued thing that is
above even major hardships.
Increasing even in the face of obsta-
cles, how much better off business would
be if they did not exist 1t is to the in
terest of industry, laborer and fan imer
alike to remove the brakes on prosperi-
ty, that prosperity may increase even
more.

Liberty League Ending Its BIundering Career

A melancholy little anniversary
passed by quite unnoticed the other
day. January 25 came, and went,
and hardly anyone remembered that
lust a year before Alfred E. Smith
of New York had stood up at
Liberty League banquet and an
nounced that he was going to take
a long and lonely walk, come the
presidential election.
1t is not so much Mr.. Smith who
was forgotten in this oversight as
the Liberty League itself. For the
league has fallen on dark days. It's
publicity organization has been Ii
ouidated. its offices contain only
handful of employees, and its $30,-
O00-a-year president, Jouett Shouse,
has gone off the payroll.
And thus comes TO an unhappy
close one of the most bizarre chap
ters in all the history of American
politics For sheer, laundering in
eptness. it is doubtful if the record
of the Liberty League will ever be
surpassed.

The league come OH the scene at
a time when the nation was trying
to think its way through a per-
picking conflict between property
rights and human rights. The
league Immediately managed to re-
duce the claims of property rights
to gross caricature.
BY dressing up the richest men
in the land in the shining armor
of the defenders of liberty, it made
it very hard for the man who really
had something sensible to say about

property's rights to get a hearing
America is essentially a conserva-
tive nation. AT the dawn of 1896
the nation was seriously uneasy
about the direction the New Deal
was taking. 1t wanted to see abuses
corrected, but it was beginning TO
be jittery lest the baby be thrown
out along with the bath water.
And just at that point the Liberty
League elbowed its way up to the
table. 1t stamped every form OF
conservatism with the stamp OF
blind reaction. 1t convinced a stead
ily-increasing section of the public
that the opposition to Mr.. Roosevelt
was a selfish and stupid Tory op-
position.
Nor did the league stop there. 1t
managed to find another delicate
situation to upset-that involving
the supreme court.
Among the problems of the New
Deal was the Question of the con-
flict between the legislative and
judicial branches of the govern
ment. 1t was most decidedly q
question requiring unbiased thought
careful study, and an appeal to the
| best intelligence that could be
brought to bear
i
But the league set up its own
private supreme court of corpora
ton lawyers and undertook TO POM
tificate solemnly on pending leeis4'
lation before the real supreme court
could make itself heard. In this
way it succeeded in persuading
great masses of people that the SUI
preme court was little more than
a bulwark for entrenched greed and
sullen reaction.
Today Mr.. Roosevelt is at the
summit Of his power, the supreme
court is under fire as never before,
and John L. Lewis is capitalizing
nightly on the country's disillu-
sionment concerning the rights of
property.
And all those things are to
very real extent the work of the
Liberty League!
