a statement of the issues
which give rise to the dis
pute. (If the union fails to
give this notice and there happens
to be an interruption Of production
the union is, under the terms Of the
Act, responsible for the damages
which may result. See section )
(c)l }. 1t is obvious that this will
mean confusion in the determine
tion Of who must give notices and
who must respond in damages for
failure to give notices. RESPONSE
bility as between local and inter
national unions may be determined
under the unions constitution, OF
it may be determined by Labor
Board certification, or it may be
determined by the extent of the
activity of various representatives
in the dispute. 1t might also rest
upon the parties to an existing con-
tract. Obviously, the closest coop
Grafton between the international
and local unions must occur in the
giving of such notices. Each case
must stand on its own bottom and
be judged in the light of the atti-
tude of the employer towards the
union and other factors. 1t is con-
ceivable, but obviously not likely,
that employers can be induced 10
sign waivers of claims in certain
situations. AS a safeguard, how
ever it may be necessary for
unions to give notice under this
provision, even though they are
convinced that the dispute will III
timately be adjusted and even
though no immediate threat to pro-
duction is anticipated. One other
danger is apparent. Unscrupulous
employers may take advantage of
this section by provoking, instigar-
ing and even conspiring to cause
Interruptions of production in la
Dor disputes. An employer can up
set peaceful negotiations pending
before governmental agencies and
when a stoppage occurs file suit
against the union on the ground
that it has given no notice of the
existence of the dispute as required.
Unions must act henceforth with
caution and with the best possible
legal advice.
Secret Ballot Required
Once the notice has been given
and the dispute is not settled with
in so days, the National Labor Re-
lations Board is required to take d
secret ballot of the employees on
the SOth day. The Labor Board
must state on the ballot the issues
in dispute and the efforts being
made to settle it. The employees
must vote on whether or not they
will permit any interruption of
war production. The strike vote is
truly an opportunity for agitation,
even as responsible union leaders

what We Fight For" was
the climax of a meeting spon-
sored by the Chicago United
Nations Comittee to Win the Peace.
Sidney Hillman, president of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
and chairman of the CIO Commit
tee on Political Action, speaking on
the same platform, urged unremit-
ting prosecution of the war until
final victory and insisted that only
an economy of abundance available
ito all men everywhere" can guar
antee permanent peace.
Wallace began by qustioning the
slogan of the McCormick-Patterson
press, LET our soldiers come home
to America as it used to be-" What
they are really saying, he contin-
ued, is this; Let US go back to
normally, depressions, cartels and
a war every % years.

war, he said. We must fight in
stead for democracy first" which
means "the supremacy of freedom
in both the economic and political
world" In the world of modern
technology, he said, "the possibili-
ties Of abundant production are so
great that it is only a question of
time until we can bring the bless
ing of freedom from want to ev-
eryone."
To the four freedoms Wallace
would add seven more:
/. Freedom from worry about a
job.
2. Freedom from worry about a
dependent and poyerty-pinched old
age.
3. Freedom from unnecessary
worry about sickness and hunger.
A. Freedom from strife between
workers and businessmen, between
farmers and businessmen, and be-
tween workers and farmers.
5. Freedom from strife between
the races and creeds.
6. Freedom from fear Of bank
ruptcy caused by overproduction of
necessary materials.
T. Freedom for venture capital
and for inventors Of new ideas to
expand production Of needed goods
without fear of repressive cartelst
excessive taxation or excessive gov
ernment regulation.
Isolation Is Threat
Isolationism and the big monopo-
lies behind it are the main threat
to a peoples peace, Wallace de-
clared. "Isolationism is the screen
behind which special privilege
seeks to entrench its control
Isolationism and special privilege
spoke with equal force to produce
the peace of Munich. Wherever
isolationism is being pushed most
vigorously, there in the background
can usually be found, furnishing

tells" These cartels must not be
allowed to determine American for.
eign policy or to seize control OF
war plant facilities which can
otherwise be used to produce post
war abundance for the common
nan, the vice-president said.
Hillman said that labor must
take united action internationally
to insure true peoples peace. I'm
the last analysis" he said, 1.-THE
nature Of the peace will be deter
mined by the people. They have IT
within their power to fashion 1t
after their own needs and aspira-
tions. Organized and united, no
force on earth can stop them short
of their goal"

Committee

COLUMBUS, o., Sept, II -
The staff Of the Ohio Area Of
flee of the National CIO War Re-
lief Committee has just been in
creased as a result of the appoint
ment of Ben r. Wiegers as the
assistant director, according to
George f. Delaplane, director IN
charge of all CIO War Relief ac-
tivities of the Ohio area.
Wiegers, a native of Ports
mouth, Ohio, has long been inter-
ested in organized labor. In addi-
ton to having organized many Of
flee workers Of the United Steel
Workers of America, Wiegers held
a responsible position with the
Portsmouth CI0 Council before
this appointment.
Realizing the advantage Of the
CIO members taking an active
part in civic and political activi-
ties, the Portsmouth CIO Council
selected Wiegers to represent it on
the Portsmouth and War Chest as
a member Of the board of direct
ors.
According to Delaplane, the APP
pointment of Wiegers is particu-
Iarly timely just now. The Ma
tional CIO War Relief Committee

the CIO membership in preparation
for the National War Fund Drive
which the CIO War Relief Com
mittee is supporting in an all-out

Willys-Overland Unit reports its
bond sales close to 100 per cent.
Federal Credit Union officers, who
handle the entire bond sale at the
WHY'S plant, say that workers
are coming into the Federal Credit
Union office and buying the bonds

using the payroll deduction plan"
WHY'S workers are buying bonds
by the payroll deduction plan and
have reached close to 100 per cent
up to the present. Union officials
say the present bond drive will hit
100 per cent within the next 10
days.
Local IL Buys Bonds
Melvin Schultz, president of
Local IL, UAW-CIO, stated today
that Local IL was giving the Third
War Bond Drive its fullest sup
port. "The Local is sending out
speakers to talk before the various
Units and is buying bonds ITSELF"
said President Schultz. The
amount of bonds to be purchased
by the Local will be set by the ex-
ecutive board of the Union at its
regular meeting this week and will
be for a sizeable sum, according to
officers.
Praise Cooperation
Earle C. Smith, president of the
Toledo Porcelain Enamel Co., CO.
chairman of the War Bond Sales
in Toledo area, expressed his pleas
ure with the initial results of the
Third War Bond Drive. 81 am pri-
marily interested in the payroll
deduction plan for purchasing
bonds for people on wages or sal
aries; but | think it is remarkable
the way the workers have re-
sponded to the plea for buying
bonds for cash over and above
those which they are now purchas-
ing through payroll deductions"
said Mr.. Smith.
Every evidence points to the sue
cess of the Third War Bond Drive,
which has been made possible only
because of the fine cooperation of
the workers of Toledo. More than
10000 workers, members Of Local
II, are contributing the largest
amount of any group in Toledo,
and promise they will not fail TO
put the bond drive over the top
before the drive ends on Oct. 9.

are seeking to thwart a strike vote.
But real or fancied grievances will
fill the air, it is an opportunity for
every minority to agitate differ
ences, and in some Instances actu-
ally foment strikes. 1t is. significant
that up to the present all the strike
votes taken under the auspices of
the NLRB have all resulted IN
votes in favor of strike action. ~
But the strangest feature of all
is that the strike vote has no bind
ing effect upon anyone! The Ma
tional Labor Relations Board, under.
the law, is merely required to, Ger,
tify" the result of the election,
which result may he open to public,
inspection. After the ballot, on if no
ballot is taken on the 30th day, the
employees are no longer bound to
continue production by the provis-
ions of the Act. 1t must be remem-
bered, of course, that if after the
30-day period Cor within it) an
actual interruption of production
takes place, the President may step
in and seize the plant. Then the
severe penalties Of Section 6 of the
Act, as outlined above, may be in-
voked.
Political Action Crippled
Finally, it is important to notice
the provisions of the Smith-Con-
nally Act, designed to cripple the.
achievement of labor's legitimate
aims through political action. The
President spoke of these provisions
Of the act as "extraneous" and it.
must be clear to everyone that the
trainers of the law were seeking
only the hamstringing Of labor and
certainly not the prevention of in.
terruption to war production.
The Act amends the Federal Cor
rupt Practices Act to ban political
contributions by labor organiza-
tions. This provision applies, it will
be we'll to note, only tC federal
elections, and not to state, munich
pal or federal PRIMARY elections.
But it subjects to criminal penalties
not only those labor organizations
- y
making the contributions but also
candidates, political committees or
other persons who receive these
contributions in connection with a
federal election. 1t is probably true
that this section does not prohibit
any form of direct political activity
by trade unions on behalf of any
particular candidates or issues
which is believed necessary to pro-
tect the welfare of their members.
Labor lawyers have emphasized the
point by showing that while union
may not contribute" to the cam
paign of a congressional candidate,
it may on its own account hold
meetings, invite the candidate TO
speak, send delegations to him, dis
tribute literature, carry on radio
programs, canvass neigborhods and
spend all money necessary for such
activities. 1t has been emphasized.
however, that the union cannot con-

tribute directly to the candidate or
make any contract or arrangement
with him as to what activities will
be undertaken in his behalf. Pend
ing Qualification by the courts or
other governmental agencies, it is
still safe to assume that payment
of per capita tax or dues to a labor
league sponsored by the trade
unions is not prohibited. This is
certainly true as fan. as state or
municipal or federal primaries are
concerned. The net result ought 10
be that trade unions should inten-
sify their own political activities.
Unions viii henceforth rely less
upon financial contributions to en-
dorsed candidates. However, if the
net result is to make American
trade unions more politically active
and independent of the old parties,
them it may truly be said that the
Smith Connally Act was helpful 10
American labor, in spite of the
plans of its poll tax sponsors!
Redefines WLB Powers
Finally, the Act redefines the
powers of the National War Labor
Board. The board, which had been
created by Executive Order of the
President, is now vested under Sec
tion of the Act with certain pow
ers and duties, created by Con-
gress. The board is now given the
right to take jurisdiction of case
without waiting for the Concilia-
ton Service Of the Department of
Labor to act. 1t is given the right
to summon parties to a public hear
ing and to proceed even though
the parties do not choose to appear
before it. 1t is given the power to
require the attendance Of witnesses,
the production of documents, and
to issue and obtain enforcement Of
subpoenaes. But American labor
must look with considerable fear
upon the sweeping powers granted
the board under the part of the Act
which states that the board may
provide by order the wages and
hours and all other terms and con-
ditions Ordinarily included in col.
lective bargaining agreements)
governing the relations between
the parties which shall be in effect
until further order of the board"
This, in effect, establishes the eco-
nomic life of labor for the duration.
The Smith -Connally Act is now
the law of the land. President VII
liam Green, President Murray and
other labor leaders have announced
that all congressman (including
Senator Robert Taft Of Ohio) are
to be unalterably opposed because
of their participation in this anti
labor stunt. Labor must stop its
complacency about the matter and
open up its guns to defeat its bitter
enemies. Labor's. fighting slogan
must be to Defeat the Smith Con-
nally Act and its sponsors.
