when negotiating contracts with their unions.
TAKING ADVANTAGE
Word reaches me that at least one plant in
the region has already sought to take advantage
of the Smith Connally bill, and sent wire to
the Union informing it that due to the passage
of the BILL it would be necessary for it to with
draw it's agreement previously made, that its
plant contract should contain a union security
clause
In the light of the information reaching us
about the War Labor Boards ruling as
toned at the beginning of this article, it seems
that this plant and others who may be guilty of
the same withdrawal of agreements similarly
made, have made grave mistake in committing
themselves to such course of action.
Such action shows lack of good faith which
does not inspire the confidence of the workers.
Not only that but it does not make for good
labor relations since it demonstrates to the work.
ers that the employer is seeking to take ad-
vantage of the situation, even though the stua-
tion actually doesn't exist as was the case in
those who believed the anti-strike bill would per-
nit them to revoke their agreement with their
Union.
CREATING SITUATIONS
In such an atmosphere of bad faith, it is not
surprising that bad labor situations come into
being; moreover, they become the incidents upon
which future bad labor situations have basis
Workers different than any other group
of people, and like other human beings they tood
hold grudges which need but an opportuneI
time to show themselves
When we observe what some industriaists are
doing to evade their responsibilities, how they are
passing the buck, stang, hedging, and using every
possible device for postponng settlement of their
contractua differences with their workers, it
becomes easy to understand why labor leaders
have difficulty in holding their people in line
and preventing work stoppages harmful to the
effort
The sooner of our employers learn that
enlightened labor policy is not one where
they give only what they absolutely must give
under the law; but act like they were slightly
of the fact that workers are, after all,
human beings, the we will have better
industrial relations and the quicker we will win
the war.
Once this war is over, labor is not going to
be step-child; but is going to demand it's place
at the table of the national economy and get it's
rightful place in obtaining greater share of the
wealth which it produces.

It's A Great
System
LITTLE LUTHER
BY JOHN PAINE

- - ~ - ~
"Well, Mr.. Dilworth said con-
tentedly. Congress has finally
taken the bit in its teeth"
what bit, Pop?" inquired Lit
tie Luther.
ut has begun to show those
bureaucrats in Washington a
thing or two. Now, we won't have
so much Of this RECOMMENDATION
from OPA. Thirty-five millions
cut from their appropriation!
Hah! Congress has shown its
hand, Luther"
"In the peoples pocket again.
eh, Pop?"
"Now, now, Luther Congress
is the steady hand on the rudder
of the ship of state, Mr.. Roose-
welt has been shown he's nothing
but a cabin boy"
"And the people-they're in
the brig, Pop?"
Luther! The people will find
that if free enterprise is given
its head, that we'll be on our
way"
ITO the poorhouse," Little Lu-
ther said quietly.
I'm afraid, Luther, you don't
grasp the full meaning of this
great achievement by the Re-
publican party. With the help of
some loyal southern Democrats,
they have now wrested control
from those who would stifle the
American way Of life through ra-
tioning, profit-destroying, social
istic schemes of grade labelling,
price control and subsidies"
Aren't you for subsidies.
Pop?"
Luther, | stand four-scuare
with the Congress Of the United
States. Subsidies may be all right
in England. But this is America,
my boy. Here we can and must
depend upon the forward-looking
progress of industry"
"You mean industry doesn't
want to be subsidized. ! thought
they liked it. What about the
RFC and its loans, Pop?"
THAT was different matter,
Luther. Those were subsidies to
promote business. Now these.
Luther - well, they would just
help keep prices down. And that,
Luther, is a blow at the profit
motive. But Congress has ex-
changed blow for blow, Luther.
Blow for blow"
with all that blowing going
on down in Washington, weather
reports shouldn't be a military
secret any more"
military secret? Weather re-
ports? Be specific, Luther"
Hot air, Pop. Hot air."

of our plants are working on the

made up by working the Satur-

election day.
While Pm about it, it seems
logical to suppose that any

enough to fight for his country,
should be old enough to vote for

Election Day

Dear Sir:
We are told that il is the pa
triotic duty of every citizen to
vote on election day.
In order that every citizen
might be able TO exercise his
duty without inconvenience or
hardship, why wouldn't it be q
good policy TO make election day
a national holiday? Congress
has done screwier things than
this.
Making election day a holiday
would scarcely handicap produc-
ton, since but small percentage

cred from 2l to Is, the voting
age also is automatically low
cred.
Perhaps one Of these days we
will eliminate the poll tax and
give the vote to a majority of
the people, to the end that the
majority may be able to make
ours government really rep
resenting the majority, and not
a government of the people, by
the representatives and for the
minority, as it has been for
many months past.

FEAR OF GENUINE
DEMOCRACY

The present crisis on the
, home front has been willfully
planned and staged by the ty-
coons Of big business, whose
fear of genuine democracy is
greater than their dislike of
Hitlerism. Industrialists, bank
ers and landlords, desperate to
, protect their money-bags, are
calling the tunes to which their
agents dance in the halls of
Congress.
True democracy, after all, is
fundamentally at odds with the
practices by which these de-
votees Of the dollar keep their
hands on the purse strings of
America. They know that the
processes Of political democracy
make it possible for the common
people to use the American
government for the purpose Of
operating our economic system
in the interest Of the common
people.
SO they live in constant dread
Of a political uprising of the
common people an uprising
which might elect A government
that would abolish the privileges
of the rich and guarantee every
American decent standard Of
living.
NO HATRED OF FASCISM
There is no burning hatred of
Fascism in the hearts Of these
barons of the bankroll. The fury
with which true democrats have
sought to wage this war against
every phase of Fascism has
ranked bitterly in the diamond
studded bosoms of the Upper
Crust.
The core of the crisis on the
home front lies, therefore, in
the fact that the rich want to
win the war, but they do not
want to wipe out the conditions
from which Fascism grows; nor
do they want a victory which
will result in expanded demo-
cratic power for the common
people.
This explains the dance of the
dou b e. crossing dervishes in
Washington where the dollar

iticians to slip democracy a

SMITH -CONNALY BILL

the methods of Fascism at
home.
In a spasm of childish spite
fulness, a majority of the House
turns thumbs down on approp-
riations to pay the salaries of
people appointed by the Presi-
dent to administrative posts in
the government. Then the Con-
nally-Smith anti-labor bill is
gleefully whipped through both
houses of Congress. Finally, the
same gang of monkey-wrench
artists vote to wreck the Office
of War Information and the
Office of Price Administration.
A METHODICAL MADNESS
But all this is not as crazy
as it seems. There is a method
in this political lunacy that is
far from accidental. Behind the
scenes, high in the world of
finance and industry, powerful
forces are pulling the strings
which make the political pup
pets dance in Washington.
1t is no accident that vital
war agencies are packed with
promoters and fixers chosen
from the ranks of the monied
gentry. The presence Of these
slickers in high places is not
due to the smiles of Lady Luck.
Since the very beginning of
the defense program, and all
through the course of the war
effort, the disciples of the al
mighty dollar have been deliber-
ately infiltrating and boring
from within the government.
From Knudsen to Maxon, there
has been a parade Of pluto
