company which brought about the labor
board investigation were filed by the Ameri-
can Communications Association of the Clio.
This young CLIO industrial union has
already organized the employees of Postal
Telegraph and RCA Communications and
won union agreements with these and other
companies.
If the recommendations of the boards
examiner are adopted, it will have to its
credit the removal of another company union
obstacle from the path of American organ
lied labor.
The way lies open for the American Com
munications Association to complete the
union organization of the largest telegraph
company. For all previous experience has
shown that American working people, once
freed from the intimidation and coercion that
is associated with company unionism, have
no hesitation in showing their preference for
genuine labor unionism which will advance
their economic interests through collective
bargaining.-The clio NewS.

Company Union Collapse

The launching of the CLOS aggressive cam-
paigns of industrial organization sounded the
death knell of company unionism in Ameri-
can industry.
The fake unionism of employee repre-
sentation' plans attained its greatest strength
in the days when the big corporations were
confronted only with weak craft unions which
had little appeal for their employees.
They promoted these stooge unions as a
substitute for and a preventative against
genuine labor organization.
But once the CLIO was able to offer to the
unorganized workers the industrial form of
organization which they SO urgently needed,
company unionism began to collapse right
and left, in industry after industry.
The latest company union to face collapse
and extinction is the Association of Western
Union Employees, which was one of the
oldest and most substantial of such outfits
in the country.
An investigation by the National Labor
Relations Board has borne out CLIO charges
that this association is a company-dominated
organization. The boards trial examiner has
accordingly recommended that the Western
Union company be ordered to dissolve this
company union.
He has further recommended that the
company be required to refund to its en-
ployees moneys which have been taken from
them under the company unions checkoff
system. This will mean a refunding of as
much as $500,000 to the employees, it is esti-
mated.

Labor Speaks for America

Naziism and Fascism got a little of their
"needings' at the A. F.. of L.. convention in
Houston. The report of the resolutions COM
mittee on these subjects fairly sizzled. Presi-
dent Green sent a vigorous cablegram to
London protesting against the proposed
closing Of Palestine to Jewish immigration
as a refuge from Nazi persecution. Matthew
Vol roasted what he rightly considered a
favor to Nazi industry by a ruling of the
Treasury.
No one has commented on it yet; but not
an American newspaper editor or columnist
has defended Hitler's seizure Of Austria or
partition of Czechoslovakia. Some of them
have laid part of the blame on the treaty of
Versailles; but none have supported Hitler.
In view of the way that some of these publ
cists have condoned or Endorsed the brutal
strikebreaking tactics of r%eactionary Ameri-
can employers, this is decidedly inconsistent
but it is also very important.
For it shows the instructive American re-
Spouse to autocratic barbarism when the
mask is off; and the Nazis have thrown masks
away. They have revived race persecution
by their savage treatment of the Jews. They
have resorted to class persecution by crush
ing all German labor movements with a
brutality that recalls the crushing of peasant
revolts in the Dark Ages. They have even
made a start at religious persecution by i'm
prisoning a Protestant clergyman and stoning
a Catholic cardinal for not kotowing to Nazi
tactics.
Not while they know their way about can
Americans be made to like or to keep still
about such things.

Tell the World!
By DIR. CHARLES STELZLE
Executive Director, Good Neighbor Leagl

EAGNublNG OnGSlOl, 1OOQ 1NGAkilDOl GCoBuG
Labor is increasingly the subject of con-
versation and debate in private circles, in
forums, in colleges and universities, and
among industrialists. And yet, there are few
subjects about which there is so much ignor-
ance and misunderstanding, and which is the
occasion for so much bitter controversy.
Well-whose interest is it that this subject
should be intelligently and persistently pre-
scented? No one should be more concerned
about educating all classes Of people about
Labor than Labor itself. And no one suffers
more because of this common ignorance
about Labor than Labor. The responsibility
therefore rests with Labor.
The way to begin a campaign of education
about Labor is to educate the workers them
selves. The fine work which has been done
for many years by the Workers Education
Bureau of the A. F. of L.. has accomplished
much in this direction. And recently the
CLIO has introduced its own agency for this
purpose.
The labor press is an important factor in
this connection. But the labor papers of the
country should be more heartily supported
by the workers. This agency could easily
be made the most influential force in exist
ence if it were given adequate support.
Millions of dollars are spent each year by
Organized Labor for perfectly legitimate
purposes. 1t would be a good investment if
a large part of this fund should be used for
a wider and more comprehensive campaign
to educate the whole people regarding the
labor situation, including all the elements
which enter into it. No one else is going to
do it-excepting those forces which are
opposed to labor.
Such a campaign, if adequately set up and
carried on with vigor, would have the fol-
lowing results:
1t would widen the knowledge Of the mem
bership Of Organized Labor regarding those
matters which concern it most vitality.
1t would win the respect and serious atten-
ton of the public.
1t would enlighten those who are the rec
ognized molders of public opinion.
1t would give a broader outlook on the
problems of Labor to the leaders in Industry.
It would inform those who are responsible
for framing Labor legislation.
1t would give Labor itself a greater pride
in the cause to which it is committed, be-
cause it will see that there's more in the
labor movement than merely fighting for
higher wages and shorter hours-it includes
the whole realm of human relationships, the
fundamental principles of economics, its re-
lationship to the political life of the nation,
and what must be its concern in international
affairs.
1t would have an outreach which would
affect the interests of every citizen, no matter
what his occupation may be. Labor in the
past has rendered many notable services in
building up the life Of the nation. 1t never
had a better chance in this direction than it
has today.

NICE ACTS TO EASE
JOBLESS BURDEN
Says Maryland Should Become
Self-Sustaining to Provide
Work for Own People,

By the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, April l2.-Gov. Nice
urged today that Maryland attempt
to ease its unemployment burden by
becoming self-sustaining State.
The Governor. in a letter to Henry
M Warfield president Of the Balti-
more Association of Commerce, said
he would place the full facilities" OF
the State Labor Department at the
associations disposal if it would in
vestigate his plan.
Il am seriously concerned about the
unemployment situation in Mary
land" the Governor wrote Warfield.
We have approximately $4,000 Mary
land men and women now out of en-
ployment and I firmly believe that
there is at our hand the oppor.
tunity to materially reduce unem-
plovment. +"
He asserted Marylanders, from the
standpoint of industry and labor,
were in position to supply our every
need and feed into the channels of
national commerce nearly everything
needed by human beings"
He urged that. in "a spirit of self
preservation" citizens of the State
| cooperate in campaign to buy
Maryland" and halt purchasing from
other States of articles Marylanders
can manufacture.
