Labor Detection From I'D.
Is Traced in Opinion Study
By DIR. GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute
of Public Opinion

PRINCETON, n. with all
Washington deep In study of how
10 maintain labor peace In the de-
Tense Industries. the attitude OF
the rank and file of labor unions
toward the Roosevelt administra-
ton assumes vital Importance In
the coming months.
A flood of bills has been intro
duced in congress to enforce labor
peace. Has labor grown less sym
pathetic with Roosevelt? Do the
workers in industry who, after all.
are the ones turning out the de-
Tense production, question the ad-
ministration's aid TO Eng an d
policy.
Post-election studies now being
completed by the institute indicate
the amount of Democratic defec-
ton In recent years.
This analysis shows that among
all classes of labor, both union
and non-union, Roosevelt failed TO
poll as high a percentage of votes
in Nov. 1e4o as he did In Nov.
1895. But the losses are by nc
means equal in all groups.
Among the Clio members reached
in the institutes sample. for in
stance, the loss amounted to only
comparatively few points, Among
AFL members IL was somewha,
larger. while among workers who
belong to other unions, such as tbs
railroad unions and other indie.
pendent organizations, the loss wal
comparatively large
The extent of detection is showr

In the week before the election
many observers wondered what ef-
feet John L. Lewiss broadcast in
favor of Wendell willkis would
have on the clio vote.
Today's report. which Is on a
national basis. gives no indication
of the effect the speech may have
had in certain key states. such as
Michigan or Pennsylvania, but it
does show that among the clio
members interviewed the percent
age for Roosevelt WAS actually a
little higher this year than among
the AFL members.
skilled Labor Analysis
When the laboring class is di-
vided into skilled, semi-skilled and
unskilled groups. the attitude to-
ward Roosevelt shows an interest
ing pattern.
Skilled workers - the so-called
"sristocrats" of the laboring class
are not as pro-Roosevelt as the
semi-skilled or the unskilled.
