CONGRESS MUST BE "BLOC" BUSTER

0 The Congress of the United States is made up, in the
main. of hard working, sincere men who have the best int
erests of the nation at heart. During the past decade, Con-
gress has been subjected to reprehensible pressure group at
tacks.
Organizations representing 'blocs" of citizens, and pro-
Tossing to speak for such voting groups, put pressure on
Congressmen to force through class legislation.
Such practices, unless curbed, will be the ruination OF any
country. Organization leadership should raise its sights.
Congress- should not be subjected to high pressure coercion.
Special pleaders for pressure groups have sought to make
this a county of special privileges for minorties at the ex-
pense of m%ajorties.
If we want to perpetuate our Republic on the basis of lib
erty and opportunity for all, it is high time that when we go
before our lawmakers with our problems we show more than
q mere desire to feather our own nest. For after all, the best
nest feathering each one of us can do is to help perpetuate
Constitutional government in the United States-not govern
ment by bloc coercion and vote control.

GOLD BRICKS FROM WASHINGTON

Q Labor leaders who by strikes and strike threats in time
of war have aroused the bitter resentment of millions OF
people, should heed the warning recently uttered in the ed
itoial columns of Life: american labor, like every other
group in the country, has a right to government by Jaw
rather than government by extemporization. But it is not
getting that. 1t is getting supposedly special favors which
turn out to be gold bricks. y
The administration, in refusing to put legal restraint on
labor excuses, has certainly been guilty of granting special
favors. Labor rtcketeers have exploited those favors to the
full, with the result that they are a thoroughly hated group
of individuals. That the rank and file of American workmen
are becoming skeptical of such leadership, is evident from a
late Fortune poll. 1t Indicated that only Is per cent of fact
oy workers believed labor unions have done an excellent
lob and should be given more power; 20 per cent thought
that labor eladers had been fair with management. Only alb
out one-third believed that most leaders were honest with
It is still not too late for labor too clean house.
