every the category the least unworthy of him.
No aborhatng industrial tycoon congress
has, within memory made damning accusations than
Arnold made.
Some years Arnold wrote and published book, The
Folklore of Capitalism which widely read Certainly
who read that book could believe that he blind to
the faults shortcomings of the capitalist system His c
cm of organized labor does not at point with the
underlying philosophy as expressed IN his BOOK
utterly ignore in his statements to the
mttee that labor organizations exist for the of
protection against the exploitation their members by sys
which ve and which he criticized in his book
at which considers
the contents of his book and the statements made before the
committee is that his thinking muddled and errac that
he yields petty personal grievances which he have
AGAINST organized labor and small enough to use the weight
official utterances event. he is
not the ber of who should be in the position which he
holds.
In the Associated Press story he is reported to have
charged the unions with the following crimes and mis-
demeanors:
l. Exploitation of farmers.
e. Undemocratc procedure, Including packing it's
bership to insure elections"
g. Impeding transportation
Making it impossible get cheap production of
housing"
s. Forcing businessmen to employ useless labor.
g. Restricting efficient of men and machines.
Independent businessmen all over the country are

any the other charges Almost all of organized labor

bodies wages for their members
which will make it possible for them to live at ALL
What the of conscience does this erratic chap
labor do? Does he want labor
production of housing by accepting which will not
them buy decent clothing and sufficient food for them
architects contractors hog big profits which will look less
because of lower prices for the jobs?
How does labor Impede transportation? Is it because
railroad workers asked for small raise to make for the
rising of living when the railroads showed staggering in
profits year and will show greater this
year?
Is Arnod's idea of useless labor who have been
discharged employers because they had the temery
and actively participate efforts for their
bettermen been reempoyed by
group pressure the employers?
labor organizations restrict efficient of men
and machnes Is because they refuse to work for arva

health? Arnold the VOLATILE wants them do?
If not what does he mean? Or does he know?

He perhaps does realize that in these
statements he made he will be accepted by having
