Europe, suddenly became money
lenders. They lent billions of dol

Friday on charges of accepting aid

sisted of a loan to enable the

Dotsch said that investigations
made about two months ago had
revealed widespread disregard for
the regulation and the consequent
citations. Since then warnings
have been sent out and the VIOLA

One distributor has been sus-
pended from business for Is days

that he did not think the penalties

cially heavy. Forty-four other

Lyons Urges Legislation To Punish
Employers Who Evade Any Labor Law

Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, Mayor La
Guardia, Federal and State mediators
and numerous outstanding citizens,
including prominent members of the
clergy of all faiths, have interviewed
in this unfortunate situation in one
way or another, but without success.
1t is regrettable that Isidore Leviton
president of the company, considers
himself immune to public opinion and
above public interest in this hour of
national crisis when every factory in
the country should be going full blast.
"This country is now engaged in
gigantic task of lending full economic
and industrial aid to the democracies
in their struggle against the dictator
countries in Europe. American labor
has enlisted in this fight for the du-
ration of the struggle. But it seems
to me that if our own economic dicta
tors, like Mr.. Leviton, are permitted
to condemn American workers and
their families to starvation, then Con-
gress, instead of concerning itself
with legislation like the Vinson bill,
should put teeth into the existing
national labor relations laws so that
recalcitrant employers may be speed
lily punished for evading their respon-
sibilities under the law"
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1941-05-22

New York, N. Y.-Thomas Lyons,
president of the New York State Fed
Grafton of Labor, urged that the ma
tional labor relations laws be strength
ened so as to provide speedy punish
ment for recalcitrant employers who
through evasion and delay seek to
escape their responsibilities under the
existing laws.
The labor leaders, criticism was con-
tanned in letter to the Leviton Strike
Committee of the International Broth
erhood of Electrical Workers, Local 8,
in which he accepted the unions invi-
tation to address the 1,700 strikers of
the Leviton Manufacturing Company.
"The eight month old Leviton
strike" Mr.. Lyons said, "is brutal
example of how stubborn employer
by means of evasion and legal delay
can escape his responsibilities under
the labor laws of the country.
"Although your union was over
whelmingly elected as exclusive bar
gaining agent in National Labor Re-
lations Board Election, the Leviton
Company has consistently refused to
bargain collectively in good faith with
the result that these workers and
their families are suffering needless
privation.
