Late Yesterday Senator Wagner
said, another labor leader invoked
law which bears my name, the
National Labor Relations Act. to
justify the most irresponsible and
disastrous stoppage of work in a
KEY war industry since the war be-
gan.
I am using this first opportunity
to repudlate and denounce the as
sertlon that the Magma Carta of
American Labor the law which
guarantees the most sacred freedom
of the American workers to asso-
ciate with his fellows under our
democracy justifies or approves an
action undermining the war ef-
fort =
Warns AgainsI Hasty Action.
Il say the statement of this labor
leader is a cruel blasphemy of the
most sacred rights of free labor
guaranteed under the Labor Rela :
tions Act.
The right to strike is part of the
liberty we are fighting for The
Labor Act preserves that liberty.
But there is nothing in the act which
says that labor cannot agree not to
strike, during a war, or voluntarily
put restraints on its customary priv
lleges to lend its full strength in a
democratic war
Il do not think Congress or the
country should hold responsible for
this action the great mass of labor
and their cooperative. patriotic
leadership. 1t would be tragic
mistake to pass hasty legis-
lation AS an expression of justified
resentment over the irresponsible
course of one leader in one con-
