ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING

The CLOS abortive attempt to call a
strike among Imperial Valley fleld la
borers demonstrates concluslVely the to-
tai absence of any effort by the labor
union to bargain collectively on behalf
of harvest employees in the valley. Not
even the lettuce shed strike, IN Whlch
employees voted approximately 6O0 to
100 against striking, afforded such
conclusive demonstration of the unions
disregard for the wishes OF the men II
purports to represent.
In the lettuce shed strike, the CIO did
succeed in establishing picket lines and
in keeping many away from their jobs
in spite of themselves.
In the attempted field strike, with its
program of meetings, picketing and gen
eral demands" all prepared, the ClO
could not even find enough field work
ers to form a picket line. Nobody at
tended the scheduled strike meetings.
Nobody left the fielSs
Yet the union, which claims the right
to represent the field workers in nego-
tiations with their employers, had an
nounced that there would be strike to
enforce the demands made by the Ia
borers."
Had there been a strike, the CIO un-
doubtedly would have insisted that it was
acting in behalf of the laborers.
The fact that there was no strike
that the laborers refused to leave their
jobs or to form picket lines-proves be-
yond a shadow of doubt that the union
was engaged in an endeavor which de-
serves no other description than racket
eering.
Had the CIO succeeded in establish
ing picket lines, as it did in the lettuce
shed strike, the Wagner Labor Relations
Act would have given the C1O every le
gal right in the world to carry out its
program of sabotaging the Imperial Val
ley harvest, and doing so without calling
anything that even approXimated strike
vote among the laborers themselves. The
laborers would have had no representa-
ton whatever. They would have been
ruled entirely by fear-fear of the ClO
and the possible consequences of passing
a picket line.
Such events, recurring again and
again, pile up proof daily that the Wag
ner act must be revised if the rights OF
the laborers are to be protected against
unscrupulous union organizers whose
only thought is, evidently, the member
ship fees they collect.

EDUCATIONAL CRISIS
Palo Alto Times

Robert NJ. Hutchins, president of the
University of Chicago, fears that pro-
gram of total defense may mean ces-
sation of true education and true research
in the United States.
Although recognizing that the total
defense program may be necessary, he
sees it as deplorable. As he expressed it,
students whose education consists
chiefly of learning how to make machine
shells are not likely to play a useful part
in community which will face the grave
difficulties found in every postwar per-
iod
Hitler'S book-burning crusades and
his own assumption of authority over the
education of all continental Europe
means virtually the complete sitting of
intellectual integrity and real education
al opportunity abroad. The responsible
ty then rests more heavily than ever up
on the United States for preserving true
educational ideals and arranging for the
continuance of opportunity in both hon
est research and real education.

The SCOPE OF
LABOR'S RIGHTS
(WalI Street JOurnaT)

. Assistant Attorney General Arnold,
Washington advices say is about to ask
amendment of the so-called Norrls-La
Guardia anti-iniunction law to limit its
application to cases involving the "legiti-
mate objectives of labor" namely, wages,
hours, working conditions and collective
bargaining rights, and exclude its appli-
cation to Internal disputes among Labor
organizations themselves. The Supreme
court on Monday last, in the Anheuser-
Busch case, ruled that the law protected
union activities in juriSdictional disputes.
The ruling was sharply criticized by the
minority expression as undudly extending
the ambit of the law. The amendments
said to be favored by Mr.. Arnold would
clarity the law and have the effect OF
multiplying for the future the majority
ruling.
These amendments would make Ger
tain practices illegal under the anti
trust laws and render them subject to
injunction. Among these are boycotts
or strikes to compel an employer to dis
crininate against one union in favor of
another which is seeking to extend its
Jurisdiction, to enforce the blackllstlng
by a union of employees who either cannot
pay excessive initiation fees and dues or
who attempt to establish an independent
union, or to enforce settlements of strict
ly internal union disputes.
1t is manifest that the difference be-
tween the attempt of a labor union to
improve the working conditions of its
members resulting in dispute with an
employer over those conditions, and
dispute between two unions over division
of work or any matter not directly in
volving the employer, is fundamental in
character. In the former case the en-
ployer is direct party to the dispute,
and in the latter case he is not. The
restraint of trade" resulting from
strikes or boycotts arising in the first
case is admitted as legitimate, but in
the second case both the employer and
the public are innocent parties, and
in such case, the restraint of trade is
manifestly illegitimate. This is merely
another way of stating the obvious fact
that no fright can be absolute.
Last Mondays decision by the Supreme
Court seems to make a revision of the
law on the lines suggested a clear neces-
sity.

-. What the Judges SayltIs'

We arc under a written conStitu-
ton, but the constitution is what the
judges say it is.
That classic phrase of constltu-
tional lore never was more aptly
illustrated than in the unanimous
Supreme Court decision upholding
constitutionality of the Wage-HOur
law.
The law providing national floor
under wages and ceiling over hours
(and by implication national child
labor law. both as CONCERNED with
production substantially affecting
interstate commerce, are now ruled
constitutional.
But in 1918 this was not so. The
written constitution has not literally
changed The times, and the judges,
have changed And so the conSti-
tuition has for practical purposes
changed, because the judges say it
has. though its literal wording re-
mains unaltered on the printed page.
There is nothing about this TO
cause concern. Certainly it was
never intended that the constitll-
ton should enclose the nation in
an iron mold The reason for d
written constitution is to give sta
bility, to limit powers. and to as
sure that changes shall not be vio-
lent or capricious It was never
meant to choke off all change.
Our system of permitting the
Supreme Court the final say on
whether laws accord with the con-
stitution is also a product Of reason
But here again it was never in
tended that decision once reach
ed by the Supreme Court must
thereafter remain immobile forever
and ever
The Supreme Court has reversed
itself. But let's go back over the
history of that reversal. Nearly
IS years ago Congress passed a Law
prohibiting shipment in interstate
commerce of the products of chile
labor. A test case, the famous
Hammer VS.. Dagenhart." was car
ried up to the Supreme Court
That court decided that the con-
stitutional power of Congress tC
regulate interstate commerce wa'
not sufficient to justify the law
But the vigorous dissent Of justices
Holmes and Brandies was backec
by large body of public opinion
The years pass. In world thai

of 1918, similar test is made. Ano
nov the court unanimously decides
otherwise, and specifically ayers thar
the 1919 decision was unsupported
by any provision of the constitu.

is overruled."
Does this mean that the Supreme
Court is itself capricious and I'm
stable2 Not at all A great dea

of water has gone over the dam
since 19l8-a troubled and tumul-
tuous 23 years. The court has
simply proved that it, too, can move
with the times, and read the hand
writing that is written large before
us.
That does not mean that the court
should literally follow the election
returns, be responsive to the Shift
ing play of Short-term political
overturns or momentary passions
But it does mean, and the assur-
ance is good, that the court can
read the constitution in terms OF
the larger sweeps of social move
ment
Nobody wants the Supreme Court
TO bob up and down with the waves
But it is reassuring to see that il
can ride with the tides.

WHO'S REVOLVING?

The news dispatches are saving a lot
about a Republican party revolt
against Wendell L. Willkie because of his
strong support for the lend-lease bill
sponsored by President Roosevelt. What
the news dispatches do not make clear
is that the so-called revolt is a thing that
centers among the old-line party politi-
clans whose first interest is their party
welfare, and to whom the desires of the
people are purely secondary.
The Republicans who are fighting Will
ke today are the same Republicans, for
the most part, who would vote against
going to Heaven if the Democrats spon-
sered the trip.
There is no revolt against Willke
among the 22 millions who voted for
him at the last election. If anything, he
has won greater confidence because Of
his truthful, fearless stand. 1t would be
easiNr for him to go along with his party.
He has taken the hard way because he
believes it is the right way And so do
most of the people in the United States
believe it is the right way.
If there is any revolt against Willkle,
it is among the die-hards who see con-
troll of the party slipping from their
hands
Willkie, it seems to us, is the one who
is leading revolt.
