Veiled defense of "Sit-down" strikes.
Miss Perkins told the press that the
legality of Shutdown" strikes had not
been determined and she referred in
effect to them as relating to some
abstract legal concept. Her viewpoint
is that "sit-down" strikes are some
thing that really are legalistic ques-
tionS and hence should be side
tracked in negotiation of settle
ment of the strike.
But the truth is the Shutdown"
strike is the paramount question at
issue. 1t transcends all others.
Either the plants that have been
seized by the "sit-down" strikers be-
long to the stockholders of General
Motors, or they belong to the strikers.
Such question is not one of legality
or illegality in a civil sense, but of
trespass, seizure and extortion within
the meaning of the criminal law.
Likened to Methods in Italy.
The General Motors officials who
declined to go to Washington to at
tend the conference at the Office of
have had in mind that they were not
authorized to negotiate for the use
OF properties which had already been
taken from them. When they get
their properties back, they can accept
Miss Perkins invitation.
If, in other words, it is proper for
q group of employees to take possess
sion OF the properties, it is also, by
the same logic, proper for them to
utilize these properties and begin pro-
duction themselves, which is, after
all, the same kind of confiscation that
occurred in Italy and led to the
strong-arm tactics of the Fascist
dictator, who took control of both
factories and workers alike.
General Motors probably made a
mistake in strategy in not going to
Washington and making clear that it
had nothing to negotiate until its
property was rightfully restored. The
corporations position would have
been better had it agreed to attend
any and all conferences and had it
also made its views clear at such con-
4c1SIlCSS anu gwen lIleHl I1leTed1teT
to the public.
General Motors Mistaken.
But there is another mistaken i'm
preston which the General Motors
people apparently have developed,
namely, that they must appeal to the
Federal authorities or to the union
leaders to get their property back.
The truth is this task falls wholly
within the jurisdiction of the authori-
ties of the cities and States where the
plants are located, and all efforts 10
get the properties back to their own
erS must needs be directed to the
cuStodians of law and order in the
various localities. If the Mayors or
sheriffs or Governors refuse to give
the properties back to the owners by
evicting all persons who are unlaw-
fully holding any of the plants or any
portion of them, then an entirely diff
ferent situation confronts not only
the automobile companies but all
Evening star., 1937-01-27

other property owners in America,
and the end of property rights may
be foreseen.
1t is true, as Miss Perkins says, that
picketing was originally illegal, but,
even today, picketing which forcibly
restralns anybody from entering a
plant is illegal. Local authorities, in
fluenced by political or other con-
siderations, sometimes refuse to en-
force the laws against illegal picket
ing, but that does not make the acts
of violence or physical restraint any
more valid.
The Supreme Court of the United
States has held in one of the famous
Coronado cases that a conspiracy to
prevent the shipment of goods in inter-
state commerce-in that instance, coal
from mines closed down by striking
miners-was an interference with Fed
Evening star., 1937-01-27

eral commerce and could be enjoined.
There appears among well-informed
lawyers a universal belief that a sit
down strike is not only illegal from the
viewpoint Of State law. but, when
coupled with a conspiracy physically
to prevent the flow of goods into inter-
state commerce, it is also a violation of
Federal law
Until. however. these questions are
brought to an issue. the negotiations
on collective bargaining will take Q
secondary position. Once the prop
critics are restored to the owners, either
by the exercise of the police power of
the States or cities. then negotiations
may be resumed with respect to the
fundamental issues of what union shall
represent the workmen arranging
scales of wages and hours.
