Defeats Of November

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE
W late Inlamented seventy

into history, with the magnif-

ii stands under the Constitution,
unimpaired and mistaken in the
opinion Of the American people.

Union Shop
NcNutt Has Precedent
With Which 10 Act
By NESTBROOK PEGLER

THE New York World-Tclc-
i gram thinks tn csc dis
patches are unnecessarily APP
prchcnSiyc that Paul V McNutt,
under the power conferred on
hum by President RooScvcltS
manpoweT order. might attempt
10 drive unwilling Americans
into unions.
In support OF this idea the
World-Tologram cites President
RooScveltS statement IN the
captive coal mine controversy
nm
/. Lewis was insisting that
minority of per cent OF the
miners be compelled to submit
10 his rule, since described by
his late friend Philip Murray,
president OF the Go as dcSpotic
and Hitlcrian
The President took stand
against Lewis at that time and
said
II tell you frankly that the
government of the United States
will not order, nor will Com
grcss pass legislation, ordering
"A >o-callcd closed shop. The gov
eminent will never compel this

government decree. That would

method toward labor.
THAT, I submit, is an unwiSc
citation, for a short time
later the government did order
the closed shop in that very
case and thus imposed the Hit
lerian condition.
Therefore. there is no reaS-
SuranCc in the Presidents quoted
remark, and II is reasonable TO
anticipate that, little by little,
MCNutt Will drive people into
the unions if he finds that that
is the easier way in particular
cases as IL was in the Lewis
case.
Winchcll Churchill put his
finger on the idea in his latest
speech when he quoted from
Hltler'S writings TO the effect
that peoples could be enSlavcd
If the conditions of slavery were
imposed step by step and no one
condition was harsh enough, by
itself, to make them fight.
4 NYWAY, the Lewis case is
"A one absolutely indiSputablc
precedent proving that this gov
eminent might impose the closed
shop if that IS eXpcdicnt and the
recent Montgomery Ward case
is similar although not Identical
In that case, the President
himself ordered the company TO
sign maintenance of NOM
bership' contract with Go
union, which means that union
membership is more in view of
the government than manpoWer.
If a worker decides TO quit the
union, Montgomery Ward must
fire him and turn that much
manpOWcr INTO the street
Moreover although Wards
signed under the compulSion OF a
government order, backed by a
command from president
and thus, plainly under durcSS,
the company was not allowed to
say. in the contract, that il
was submitting under durcSS.
Americans may think they
have freedom of contract, but
here is a case. one Of many, in
cidentally, in which a company
has been ordered 10 sign a con-
tract on term which it OBJ
iCctS 10.
NEW Americans realize that
Il the Go now is in very bad
shape financially and needs help
from the government or any
other quarter
The fact accounts in part for
the CLOS disposition to negotiate
for peace with the AFL which
has been collecting hundreds of
millions OF dollars of loot on
government projects and is
stronger and in many Of its
component unions. more corrupt
than ever.
