Pointed Question
Addressed to Congress.
To the EDITOR Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t seems that the Supreme Court now
that Congress intended TO grant the
right of extortion by violence to labor
unions and, second, the right Of either
conversion Of funds or embezzlement.
If the Congress allows John l.. Lewis
to stop all war production by refusing
fuel supplies, will the Supreme Court
ever have an opportunity to rule on the
intent of Congress. or will it be up to
Hirohito and Schicklegruber?
CURIOUS.

civic leader. But he continually
lets them down by popping off in
the language of an 18th century
aristocrat.
A native of Watertown, Mass,
Crawford was graduated from Har-
ward University in 1916 and went
to Cleveland as a maintenance en-
gineer at the Steel Products Inc,
which was TO become Thompson
Products. He Joined all the right
clubs and did all the things ex-
pected of young Harvard man on
his way up.
Crawford first came to the at
tention of the public and federal
authorities after the enactment of
the Wagner act. He had become
president of Thompson Products
in 1893. Cleveland was caught in
the great organizing wave that was
sweeping industrial America.
To combat just this, Cleveland in
dustrialists had built the Associat-
ed Industries. The young presi-
dent of Thompson's was very ac-
tive in the Al. whose record of
strikebreaking. industrial espionage
and violation of civil liberties fills
several volumes of the LaFollette
committees records.
Crawford was a director OF the
Associated Industries and his COM
pany was one of the best CUSTOM
ers Of Corporation Service Bureau
the AIS spy organization. The Al
tried 10 deny that it ever paid any
money TO the spy outfit, but La
Follettee investigators had tv'''. ,cn

mate from its books, records of
the payments.

MANS Perfect Choice

Crawford is the perfect choice
for carrying out the MANS lets
lick labor first" program.
In fact. he was chairman OF the
NAM resolutions committee which
met secretly last September TO map
the program. Lammot dupont
called the signals but Crawford
carried the ball with statements
like this:
We've got Roosevelt on the
run. Wen keep him on the run.
Let's spend some real money this
yc::". W';at the hc''-i u Cr'v
cost us 90 per cent. the rest
would go In taxes any way"
Crawford at 81 is one of the
youngest tories ever chosen to head
the NAM. Crawford is tall, thin
and high strung. He tries to look
naughty and usually succeeds. His
publicity men have, with the ear
nest help of Clevelands newspa-
pers, tried to build him up as a

Pathological Hofe

Crawford's hatred for Pres.
Roosevelt is almost pathological.
For years he had in his private Of
flee a picture of the President
hanging upside down. Beside 1t
was a picture of Mrs. Roosevelt
with a pipe stuck in her mouth.
His admiration, on the other
hand. for fascism is well known.
In 1899 he made trip TO Europe
On his return he praised Musso-
linis regime in Italy and asked:
"What difference does it make II
the dictatorship of Germany is con-
suming one-fourth of production
for military grandeur or whether
the bureaucracy. of the New Deal
is consuming one-fourth of pro-
duction TO maintain ITSELF"
II would be less than fair II
Crawford's war aims were not told.
He has put them succinctly:
I'VE are fighting fOr our iTee-
dom. Freedom from renegotia-
ton of contracts. Freedom from
Pansy Perkins. Freedom from
Prostituting Attorney Arnold.
Freedom from the Alice-in-Won-

Lots of Tear Gas

This type OF chicanery was typi-
cal of the Thompson company's
own relations with the spy outfit.
LaFollette investigators found that
Thompson's had paid for the spy
service by giving vouchers TO GER
tain employees for so-called legal
and professional services so that
the employees could pay the Cor
poration Service Bureau by per-
Sonal check.
The LaFOllette committee also
found that the Thompson COM

companies I'm the amount of tear
gas purchased. And that il spent
S4.603.15 in one year for indus
trial spies. And that is not all,
according to the Cleveland Union
Leader, which says the unrecOrd-
ed amounts spent by "'h""''
fighting unions would probably
run into tens of thousands of dol
lars.
Crawford's anti-union activities
have won the admiration of his fell
low induStrialists and constant at
tention from the NLRB. Pending
either in the NLRB or federal
courts are charges involving COM
