LAW VS.. MEN

(From Electrical Workers. JournaD
Those citizens who believe that
democratic government should be a
government of law rather than a gov
ernment of men may well be disturbed
by the performance of Thurman Ar
mold, Assistant Attorney General.
Even a layman can see that there is
nothing in the Sherman antitrust
laws that refer to labor practices per
Sc as being in restraint of trade. In
deed when the Sherman Antitrust
Law was in the making, efforts were
made by a large group of men in
Congress to write into the law the
rule that it did not apply to trade
unionists. Neither can layman find
court decisions as precedents for plac-
ing labor practices in the category of
And yet Mr.. Arnold, as the gov
ernment's chief trust-buster, pursues
his policy of investigating labor prac-
tices preparatory to bringing labor
leaders into court as violators of the
antitrust law. We believe emphatic
ally that Mr.. Arnold is on shaky
ground. We believe that he has his
own private Interpretation of the law
and that he is not buttressed either
by the law or court decisions. In
other words, Mr.. Arnold is acting as
judge, prosecutor and jury. He is
pre-judging the case.
Is this, or is it not, dangerous to
democracy?

PARLIAMENT OF
INDUSTRY" Seen

London (ILNS). = Employers and
trade unions in industries working on
government contracts have decided
tentatively to establish a parliament
of industry" to help prosecute the
war.
The plan, subject to ratification by
the General Council of Trade Unions,
would set up council, probably con-
sisting of seven employers, seven
unionists and the Minister of Labor
serving as chairman, to discuss all
problems confronting industry in the
war emergency.
1t was understood that the employ
ers had accepted the plan and that
the unions were almost certain to
accept.

COURT APPROVES
B. & 0. PROPOSAL

Baltimore (ILNS).-A three-judge
federal court approved the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad plan for financial re-
adjustment under which it hopes to
save $11,376,435 in annual interest
charges.
Final DEGREES authorizing the
changes will be drawn November s
unless objection is made.
The plan was supported by railroad
labor unions, whose representatives
approved it in testimony before the
court.
The lengthy, 15,000-word opinion
on the case is summed up by the
court in the following brief extract:
SIN short summary, we find and
conclude from consideration of the
plan and the testimony in support
thereof that it is fair and equitable
and indeed highly desirable and ad-
vantageous for all the creditors as
well as in the public interest and that
it is feasible in that it has reason
able prospect of being successfully
carried out so that in the long run
the creditors will have the best chance
to ultimately avoid substantial loss
on their investments, and the railroad
will be enabled to continue it's service
to the public as an interstate COM

New Subversive Group Working for
Restriction of Existing Labor Laws,
Enactment of Repressive Labor
Legislation, and Destruction of
State Labor Departments.
(ny A. F. Of I. weekly News service)

(By A. T. Of L. Weekly News Service)
One hundred per cent condemnation
of certain anti-union employers for
their activities in undertaking to Sc
cure new legislation to repress the
workers and to amend existing labor
laws so as to deprive the workers of
rights now legalized was voiced by
the annual convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor at Cincin-
natl, Ohio.
The matter was presented to the
convention by the A. F. of l.. execu-
tive council in their report.
Although the increased strength re-
flected by the growth of membership
and collective bargaining is COM
mendable achievement, the council
warned that the menacing activities
of anti labor groups necessitates
united action by labor for the protec-
tion of rights already secured and
the necessary enlargement of those
rights
The executive councils report, which
the convention adopted, said:
"The increase in union growth dur
ing the past year has been accom-
panied by increased hostility to the
labor movement. While industrial
managements generally are accepting
the principle of collective bargaining
and are turning their attention toward
getting constructive results through
this medium, a new group of employ
ers has taken the initiative in repres-
sive labor legislation and for amend
ments restricting and limiting exist
ing labor laws. The results of this
reactionary swing are obvious in re-
preSSive labor laws in states and dis
memberment Of state departments OF
labor, in the disfavor shown the
United States Department of Labor
and in the failure of Congress to enact
needed labor legislation.
"Such reactionary proposals are
both out of keeping with our present
institutions and current thinking ano
can but restrict national recovery ane
progress.

ening of our outposts during the
coming year and to insure mainten
ance of the great gains made in thu
recent years. Unions affiliated t
the American Federation of Labor
have made substantial gains in mem
bership and in the development o

of the strength of our movement.
