THE strike OF the elevator men
i who tried 10 tie up the per-
pendicular transportation of H.
900 helpless and unoffending
American workers in Rockefel-
Ter Center and 10 a large extent
succeeded. points up two sub
jects of great importance 10 the
whole nation.
First, il demonstrates in dra-
matte style the worthlessness
of the pledge by William Green
and Philip Murray. for the AFL
and the Go, respectively. that.
in return for certain concessions
by the government which they
did not deserve aud had no right
10 demand, the members of their
unions would generously refrain
from stabbing the nation in the
back in time of war.
Secondly, il recalls that Green
has often upheld tyrannical and
even VIGOROUSLY crooked and
brutal union bosses in conflicts
with oppressed subjects under
their power who finally were
driven 10 rebellion.
I DO not know the precise
Il number OF this strike in the
series that has interrupted work
and production in practically all
phases of the war effort since
Pearl Harbor.
Some of these strikes have
been called wildcat strikes by
the union bosses in an attempt
to disown responsibility and
escape blame Some have been
mere spontaneous walkouts not

within their union. Wildcat
strike it may have been. but in
some cases that is the only way
for large groups of unfortunates
who are driven into the corrals
in organizing drives and branded
as the property of this or that
union boss without being given
a chance to vote on their bar
gaining agents or 10 reject bar
gaining agents selected for
them.
THE same process is followed
Il in Murrays organization.
The whole system is based on
the anti-labor policy of the
Roosevelt government which is
the worst enemy of free labor
to arise in the United States
since the abolition of Negro
slavery.
Green and Murray are pla-
Gated and fiattered and courted
by the United States govern
ment with the conscious knowl-
edge that the systems which
they operate contain iniquities
no less vicious than those of the
Nazi regime and with brutal
intent to establish those systems
as the subgovernment of all the
workers of the nation.
Both OF these men have shown
themselves to be resourceful
and dangerous enemies of the
American worker in every craft
and calling.

This lessons his confidence in

down. A similar eaaminatl on
