Sit Down Strike
To the Editor:

10 Lne EQltOr:
Organized labor successfully
demonstrated the effectiveness Of
nationwide unauthorized sit
down strike. Without leadership or
planned action, thousands upon
thousands Of organized workers,
both men and women, were salts
fled to sit down at home Nov. 3
and not vote.
The results met with hearty ap-
proval from all editors, commenta-
tors and politicians who had so
loudly condemned other sit-down
strikes. This greatest Of all sit
downs more than satisfied this
clique because it threw out, or kept
out of office, the friends of labor
and allowed enemies of labor to be
elected.
1t also satisfied the ruthless
killers Of Europe as they pounced
upon it as reputation Of our
great president, the best friend
labor ever has had in Washington.
1t must have more than pleased
Hitler, for years ago he wrote in
his Infamous book, "A democracy
is easy to defeat"
To an old-timer in organized la
Dor and politics, this sit-down of
Nov. 3 is easily explained. 1t is
the action, or rather inaction, of a
satisfied people. Organized labor
will fight to defeat an enemy, but
has not learned the necessity to
fight to elect a friend. We go an
any extreme to express our dissat-
isfaction but seldom our satisfac-
ton.
Satisfied people never accom-
plished anything in this world ex-
cept their own destruction. Had
George Washington, Patrick Henry
and others been satisfied in 1776,
we might never have had United
States of America. Had Lincoln
been satisfied in 1860 we would
have had divided United States.
If organized labor is satisfied to
sit down and les its friends be
defeated, it will realize too late its
organization has lost its effective
ness. Already attempts are being
made to repeal the Wagner Labor
Act and to establish longer work
week. The enemies of labor see in
the lack of interest of the worker
on Nov. 8 the opportunity to begin
taking from him.

Chile Advanced Politically.

Politically, Chile is the most ad-
vanced nation of South America. It's
Industrial workers are all unionized,
every Chilean belongs to a political
party, and the elections are honest.
The two largest parties are the
Radicals corresponding to the Lib
erals in this country and the Con-
servatives like our die-hard Repub-
hcans). Socialists and Communists
are highly respected, important
minorities with representatives in
the ministry and congress. Yet this
sturdy, conscious folk with the ex-
ception of Uruguay, the most homo
geneous in all South America) re-
mains economically poor and ex-
plotted.
So hard has been the life of the
Chilean worker, so hard the soil, so
uncertain even the survival of his
house when his earth quakes, that
when he gets a bit of money, he
doesn't - like the American - buy
goods; he buys rest. Poor food,
ragged clothes, a hovel of a house,
he has got used to. What he wants
is a week off, with plenty of wine
to remove him from his troubles.
The average labor-year of the fully
employed, skilled Chilean industrial
worker is 80 weeks.
The people are democratic from
top to bottom. An example: The
new minister of health, DR.. Miguel
Etchebarne, still works as a subordi-
nate of DR.. Orrego who, officially,
is under him. At 8 a. m, the min
lister takes orders from Orrego in
the State hospital; at IL a. M, in
his ministry, he gives orders to
Orrego.
Another instance is the Church.
Everywhere, there are good Catholic
Democrats. In Chile alone, as far
as I know, there is an organized
Catholic Democratic party which
works with Radicals, Socialists and
Communists against the Fascist dam
ger. Schnake, the minister of labor,
is of this party.
Not far from Valdivia, heart Of
German Chile, in the village of San
Jose de la Mariquina, lives the
noblest Of the country's anti-Nazis,
a bishop and a full-blooded German!
/ went to see Guido Benedict Beck
de Ramberga, Capuchin bishop. He
told me Of his fight against his fellow
Germans and Chileans of German
descent, who send him threatening
letters.
The Nazis have one great virtue:
They know their enemies and fight
them. The Gestapo in Germany
warned him of reprisals if he did not
stop publishing his anti-Fascist lit
erature. The magazines and PAM
phlets kept on flowing from the bish-
ops print shop.
This brings me back to the Nazi
embassy in Chile. A few weeks ago,
Minister of the Interior Morales
made a speech forecasting an early
break with the Axis. The Axis en-
bassies got busy on the cables, and
Morales cracked down. refusing to
oass their messages.

AFL-CIO Heads
Urge Executive
Order

WASHINGTON - (FP)-Nov.
25-An important proposal that
manpower problems be dealt with
by executive orders Of the Presi-
dent was submitted to him by AFL
President William Green and CIO
President Philip Murray, Nov. 49,.
Emerging from a conference of
the Combined Labor War Board at
the White House, Murray and

They told the President, however,
that organized labor would go
"even beyond the limit" in cooper
ating with solving manpower prob
lens according to Presidential or
ders and administrative processes.
In line with recent CIO reso-
luton condemning the delays in
volved in War Labor Board ma
chinery, both the AFL and CIO
heads urged the President to set
up new machinery to speed hand
ling of the more than 1000 cases
pending.
Green said that the new WLB
regional offices being opened up to
handle voluntary wage agreements
under the residents economic
stabilization order might we'll be
