TORONTO, Oct. 13.-The tert
OF the American Federation
OF Labor report asking Attorney
General Biddle to Investigate ac-
tiDities of Thurman Arnold, anti
trust chief OF the Justice Depart
n,ent, tollotDS::
1t is all too apparent that the
gyrations of Mr.. Thurman Arnold,
Assistant Attorney General and
chief of the antitrust division Of
the Department of Justice, constitute
one of the most unique and most
disquieting phenomena in the his
tory of American Government.
1t is more than high time that an
effective and conclusive halt was put
to these reprehensible tactics that
not only tend to discredit the present
Government, and not only embarrass
and obstruct the efforts of the
present Government to achieve
harmony and cooperation among
all groups of our society, but also
reflect adversely upon the very sys-
tenn and institution of a political
democracy which can produce or
tolerate such startling antics.
When Mr.. Arnold first initiated
his destructive and Inflated cam
paign. labor at least was given the
opportunity to fully meet the issues
and fairly to present its case in tn
forms established for that very pur-
pose-the courts of the land
Court Decisions Cited.
The result was series of Supreme
Court Decisions. beginning with the
famous decision in the Hutcheson
case, which fatty repudiated and
set to naught Mr.. Arnolds attempted
distortions of law. Organized labor
rejoiced in this splendid victory. 1t
believed, and mcst justifiably so,
that Mr.. Arnold's uncalled for erup-
ton had been effectively and au-
thoritatively quieted.
But that rejoicing and that belief
were promised on an assumption
an assumption that was, to be sure,
most reasonable and most legiti-
mate, but an assumption neverthe-
less. Organized labor assumed that
Mr.. Arnold, like most practicing
attorneys, and certainly like every
public prosecutor, regarded the Su-
preme Court of the United States
as the ultimate judge of and final
authority on legal. issues.
But events soon proved that
Mr.. Arnold was far more interested
in, and far more reliant upon, the

antics of Mr.. Thurman Arnold.
Further your committee recon-
mends that the Hon. Francis Biddle,
Attorney General of the United
States, be requested by investigation
to ascertain whether Mr.. Thurman
Arnold has exploited the prestige of
his public office for his own material
and financial gain.
Further, your committee recon-
mends that the executive council
appoint a special committee to
present this report, as well as the
executive councils report dealing
with antitrust, to the President of
the United States.
Finally, your committee concurs

unfounded action he has instituted
against the American Federation
of Musicians-a brief in which Mr..
Arnold is named as the spokesman
for the United States of America
he saw fit to make the following
incredible statement:
In summary, we submit that the
phrase terms or conditions of en-
ployment' assumes that there is a
master who directs the work and
servant who obeys these directions.
The function of the master is to de-
termine what work he wants done
what machines he will use, what
goods or services he will furnish,
and the customers to whom he will
sell those goods and services.
I'm so far as the servant de-
mands the power to determine any
of these questions he is no longer

mails.
Efforts Seldom Vary"
And whether he be before legis-
lative committee or on a lecture
platform or in a popular magazine,
his efforts seldom vary-namely,
the venting of his deep and abiding
personal animus against organized
labor.
So far, indeed, has Mr.. Arnold
attempted to blend that which is
impossible to blend-namely, the
paradoxical roles of dispassionate
public prosecutor and of a biased
and impassioned anti-labor lobbyist

Draft Of Family Men
For War Plant Jobs
Proposed by Senator
Johnson's Suggestion
Would Replace Single
Men in Factories
Bv The Associated Press.


Family men would be exempt
from combat branches of the
Army, but could be drafted into
war factories to replace single
workers in uniform, under a new
proposal today by an influential
member of the Senate Military
Affairs Committee.
Senator Johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado, who introduced the War
Department bill for allowances to
soldiers dependents, suggested this
change in the measure. He said
the subcommittee which he heads
probably would be called on to de-
eide whether dependency of rela-
tives should continue to be consid-
cred a cause for deferment from
Army service.
AS presently drawn, the bill would
provide Federal payments for main
tenance of dependents Of family men
who were drafted. supplemented by
amounts withheld from the soldiers
pay. Committee members said the
passage of such a measure by Con-
gress would be apt to eliminate de-
pendency as a cause of deferment
from military service, leaving en-
ployment in an essential war job as
the only basis for deferment of men
who were physically At.
Sees Cost Excessive.
Senator johnson told reporters
such action might result in serious
social misadjustments.
You will have a lot of married
men with families in the Army and
you will have a lot of single men
earning $40 a day or more in fac
tories" he said.
The cost of supporting the de-
pendents Of married men who were
called into the service was likely to
assume staggering proportions, Sem
ator Johnson said. On the other
hand, he said, this excessive outlay
could be avoided by channeling these
men into essential war jobs and put
ting men with no dependents in the
fighting units, so long as there were
enough Of the latter group avail
able.
Some dislocation might be caused,

Board, which accused 1t of violating

facture of civilian sutomotive parts.
President C, E. Wilson said all
corporation plants had been in
structed to halt Immediately pro-
duction of service parts. except those
on direct Government orders. until
this whole matter can be properly
clarified and it can be definitely
known what items can be manu-
factured without subjecting the COR
poration to charges OF on-compli-
ance"
Walter P. Reuther director OF the
General Motors Department of the
United Automobile Workers &C. I.
o., said today in a statement:
The union feels that the corpora
tions action is vindictive step
taken to punish the workers. whose
union first complained against the
misuse OF critical material on re-
placement parts. II there Is
actually any lack of understanding
on the part of the corporation, I am
certain it can be cleared up in few
hours. The workers who exposed
the misuse of critical material should
not be penalized for their patriotic
action"
Purpose Explained.
The w. P. BIS suspension order,
for 90 days, was issued Thursday.
and applied only to on-functionsl
parts.
Mr.. Wilson declared the action
brought to head the difficulty of
operating under the imprac-
tical, confusing and contradictory
material orders of various sections
of the War Production Board"
THE corporations only purpose
in producing service material dur
ing the past months" he said, has
been to make available such mate
rial to its car owners and to keep
as many OF its employees working as
possible pending the complete re-
tooling of its plants for war pro-
duction."

idle by the no-parts-order was not

ands.
Mr.. Wilson, however, said that
employees thrown out of work would
shortly be re-employed.
Fortunately, General Motors Is
making such rapid progress in war
production that thousands of addi-
tional employees are being hired for
