Objections
The delegates studied carefully
all the objections raised in CIO
president Philip Murray's letter
and discussed in detail the effect
which general application would
mean in Western Maryland.
Objections to tho Sabotage Bill
are based on tho fact that Its pro-
visions are OF such a nature that
they could readily be used to sup
press strikes or other union &C
iivities TO improve wages. hours or
working conditions.
Some delegates quoted an edi-
iorial which appeared in the pre-
vious days issue OF the Cumber-
land Evening Times in regard 20
a threatened strike at the Farm
ingdale plant OF the Fairchild Air
craft Company as an example OF
unbridled hysteria and disregard
OF facts which would be used to
inveigh the Sabotage Act against
legitimate union activity.
The delegates asserted their be-
lief that reactionary local author
tiles would try 10 invoke the pen
alties Of the bill upon the ground
that labor union activities against
profiteering bosses interfered with
