Labor Bill Agreement

Thanks largely to the indefatigable
efforts OF John L. Lewis, House and
Senate conferees have agreed on the
provisions OF an anti-strike bill which
probably will be passed by Congress.
This is an event of very great signifi-
eance, for If the bill becomes law it
will mark the end of an era in which
the legislative cards have been
frankly stacked in favor Of organized
labor.
AS agreed upon by the conferees,
the bill contains number of provi-
sions for which there is an obvious
need and to which no valid objection
can be taken. While preserving the
right of an individual to quit his job,
the measures principal clause seeks
to outlaw work stoppages in Govern
ment war plants by setting up crimi-
nal penalties for those who "conspire"
with or encourage any one to strike.
The same penalties apply to those
who instigate or coerce a strike or
pay benefits to strikers. The effect of
this, apparently, is to ban anything
In the nature of an organized strike,
as we'll as all picketing, but to leave
the way open for strike which
might come about as result of
spontaneous action on the part of
individual workers. Whether this
loophole would operate to defeat the
purpose Of the bill would have to be
determined by experience.
The bill also provides for a thirty
day cooling-off period and secret
ballot before strike could begin In
a private war plant. Any one violat-
Ing this provision is made liable to
civil suit for damages, and the Gov
ernment, Of course, could take over a
plant In which such a strike was
threatened, thereby bringing the
criminal clauses of the bill into play.
Other salient provisions forbid
political contributions by labor unions
in Federal elections, endow the War
Labor Board with statutory authority
and the power of subpoena, authorize
the President to take over strike
threatened plants and direct that
decisions Of the WLB must conform
to the National Labor Relations Act.
The exact meaning Of this last pro-
vision is not clear, but its intent,
apparently, is to prevent the board
from insisting on closed shop or
maintenance of membership clauses
IN contracts executed under it's
supervision.
1t is to be expected that the leaders
OF organized labor will fight the bill
down to the last ditch. And there
may be sincere doubts in other
quarters as to its wisdom or it's
adequacy. But there can be no doubt
that the passage of restrictive legisla-
ton, without regard to the details of
any particular bill, is in harmonv
with the temper of the country. The
agreement upon this bill by the con-
1erees is one more proof of the fact
that, in our political life, we 90 from
one extreme to another. Labor gained
the upper hand in Congress after a
period in which it had been exploited
and oppressed. But its newly won
power was not used with wisdom or
restraint, and now the pendulum is
swinging back. How far it will 20
depends to very large extent on the
manner In which those who shape
union policy interpret and react to
the handwriting that is beginning to
appear on the wall.

II every one buys his allow

IL we hand the grocer 80 cents
and the foods bought total 81

They Really Eat

Because bacon involves too

they do plenty of personal cook
