STRAIGHT FROM WASHINGTON
(By Stephen M. Young, Congress-
man-at-Large, Ohio)

We are now in the midst of the
most desperate era of preparation
for national defense that this nation
has ever seen. This is no time for
Americans to be divided into two
camps-for or against labor. The
rights of capital and labor are both
insignificant in considering the
greater problem of public safety for
cent of the workers in labor organ
intelligent should clean out the
two percent who form the rack
eteering element. We will not
permit any man in or out of in
dustry to stand in the way of de-
tense of our country. Furthermore,
we in congress will not permit ill-
dustrialists to deal unjustly with
their workers in this TIME of nation
al emergency. These problems will
be worked out. Your congress will
remain in session throughout the
summer-probably throughout the
entire year. The remarkable social
adyancements achieved since Frank
lin D. Roosevelt first became pres1-
dent will not be sacrificed. They
are taken for granted as part or
the American social structure. They
belong to our way of life and they
rest upon legislation enacted by for
ward-looking congresses supporting
a great chief executive who believes
that American citizenship carries
with it the right to be gainfully en-
ployed
Representative Woodrum, able
member from Virginia, SAID,
whats the use of talking about
beating Hitler if we cannot handle
a group of radical labor leaders in
this country"
This blunt statement expresses
the feeling prevalent in congress
Congress has been restive. People
back home are fed up with strikes
in national defense projects. Ii
labor does not clean house, 1t Will
be the most serious mistake LABOR
has made in a generation. Congress
will, without doubt, take drastic ac-
ton which unfortunately Will harm
patriotic, unselfish members OF un-
ions in eliminating the few rack
eteering members.
Uncle Sam To "Crack Down.
Senator Connally Cd, Texas has
secured considerable support for his
amendment to the draft property
act giving the president full au-
thority to take over and operate any
defense plants, when defense orders
are being duly delayed by sabotage,
strikes or failure to cooperate with
government officials. Many con-
gressmen feel that congress should
provide the president with authority
to go even further than he did IN
sending the army into the American
Aviation Corporations plant. Most
Congressman feel that the few
racketeers in labor organizations
"have been asking for it, and now
they are going to get it.
