Two Senators Accuse

BY the Associate Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Senate Civil Liberties SUBJ
committee linked two business
groups today with what 1t called
the policy of the Associated Indus
tries of Cleveland "in thwarting the
purposes of the national labor leg
iSlation."
Senators La Toilette, Progressive,
of Wisconsin and Thomas, Demo-
crat, of Utah declared in a COM
mittee report that the Cleveland
groups activities were part of a
vast campaign organized by the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers,
and carried out through It's members
and the afiiliates of the National
Industrial Council"
Their report also charged that As
sociated Industries, which it said
was organized in 1920 ito maintain
the so-called open shop" had in the
past supplied labor spies to men,
bers desiring them"
Ever since the passage of section
IA (the labor sectionD of the Ma
tional Industrial Recovery Act" it
said, "the Associated Industries of
Cleveland has engaged in an I'M
interrupted and vigorous campaign
to defeat the purposes of the ma
tional labor policy.
This it did in the first place by
continuing unabated its traditional
services of espionage and strike
breaking. In addition. it urged upon
its members the rejection of the
policy of collective bargaining
through the use of such devices as
company unions and individual
bargaining contracts"
The committee declared that As
sociated Industries did not change
its policy in any particular as a
result of the passage of the National
Labor Relations Act"
After this act was upheld by the
Supreme Court, the report went on,
Associated Industries Sought to
preserve the advantages of COM
pany unionism" through plans for
Transforming an employe-represcn-
tation plan into a so-called inde-
pendent or undominated union"
