End Political Trickery

Second labor will have, under Republican
administration, an end to political trickery in
the administration of labor laws and the han.
ding Of labor disputes. You know. better than
anyone else, how intolerable this has been. It
has become so bad that one prominent labor
leader recently said:
The present administration has PLAYED
mischievous game of politics in the internal
life of the unions. II has pursued politics which
have prolonged division between national labor
bodies. 1t has had its labor union palace
favorites, who have enjoyed advantageous
breaks from New Deal agencies"
In place Of all this. the Republican party
assures equal benefits on the basis of equality
to all labor in the administration of labor laws,
regardless of political affiliation.
And once again we shall have not political
bargaining for the benefit of New Deal bureau
Gratis, but free collective bargaining for the
benefit of labor and management alike.
Third. American labor can look forward TO
national economic policies which will produce
Jobs in private enterprise instead of made
work" and the dole
American labor will not be deceived by the
smooth words Of Franklin Roosevelt last Sat-
urday night when he professed belief in free
enterprise, the profit system and industrial
expansion
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-10-31

Labor knows that. for II long years Mr..
Roosevelt did not believe in expanson-in fact
he said in 1888:
"Our industrial plant is built"
Labor knows that Mr. Roosevelt did not be-
lleve in free enterprise-in fact he sought to
make his administration. as he said, first the
match and then the master of business" Labor
knows that Mr.. Roosevelt did not believe in the
profit system-if he had, he would not have
put 1t at the mercy of Sidney Himan and Earl
Browder whose Communist theories call for
the destruction of that very system
No. American labor will not be deceived It
knows that regardless of the professed friend
ship OF the New Deal for the workingman, it is
making him the slave Of communism and is
destroying the economic foundations upon
winch ne has built the highest standard of
living in the world
crazy It's life blood is power of government
over the lives of people.
And finally, under the leadership of Tom
Dewey and a Republican Congress, American
labor can look forward to new era of national
unity. 1t will be an era in which labor and
management and all other economic groups will
work together to solve their common problems
and to build nation that is strong enough to
master the problems beyond the war
With that kind of team work we shall have
an America where there will be productive
jobs for all-and where productive jobs will
make men free Then only will the laborer have
money to buy the needed products of our
farms. Then only will the farmer and business
man have the money to buy the goods that
create jobs The Republican party believes in
America and knows that post war problems
con be solved in the American way

Abolish Useless Bureaus

What government gives, government can
take away but what labor earns by work and
organization, by fighting for its rights, in free
country, nobody can take away as long as that
country remains free.
The Republican party this year is battling
to keep America free and to preserve our cher
ished rights American opportunity is not
limited to any class or group in our society.
There is much more American labor can
look forward to if it repudates these alien
forces and helps elect Thomas E. Dewey az
president of the United States.
1t will have, first Of all, an end of the con-
fusion of bureaus and agencies now dealing
with labor relations. Some 25 federal agencies
now regulate terms of employment and condi-
tons Of labor.
They are scattered far and wide and they
have no semblance of systematic or responsible
organization.
The Republican party is determined that all
governmental labor activities will be placed
under the direct authority of the secretary Of
labor, and that such labor bureaus as are not
performing a definite service will be abolished.
Moreover the secretary. of labor will be
truly representative of labor, and not a nom
functioning fgurehead

White House, PAC Linked

Finally, let us note the actual working re-
lationship between Political Action Committee
and the Communists on the one hand, and the
federal government on the other. Here are
some interesting bits of evidence revealed by
the Dies Committee
Long distance telephone records showed
tnat 26 calls were made to FIVE White House
assistants to the President from the New York
and Chicago headquarters of Political Action
Committee during the heat of primary cam
paigns. They also showed that II different
officials and employees of the federal govern
ment in 26 different agencies had been in fire.
quent communication with Political Action
Committee
One government agency, the Farm Security
Administration, was taken over and used as
political weapon by the Political Action Com
mittee. c. B. Baldwin, its head, became as.
sistant director of Political Action Committee
under Hilman. In fact, some 10 high govern.
ment officials in various departments were
found to have taken posts, at least for the
duration of the campaign, with the Political
Action Committee
Not only at its Chicago convention, but
even In Washington, the New Deal clears every.
thing for Sidney

Reds Bore From Within

Here are some typical examples of thou.
sands of persons mentioned in the Congress
sional committee records as employed by
government and having subversive records:
Gene Mangion, information specialist, immi-
grafton and naturalization service; Lauchlin
Currie, secretary to the President; Gregory
Silvermaste, economist selected by the treasury
department as envoy to the Breton Woods
conference, and also doing special work for the
treasury department; Craig Vincent, chief,
manning division, war shipping administration;
Arthur Goldschmidt, assistant chief of power.
interior department. Robin Kinkead, Office of
War Information in San Francisco and
Thomas /. Emerson counsel Office of Price
Administration. l could name Others but that
is enough
One of the well known subversive methods
of boring from within is to place agents in
various departments of government to spy and
report back
In the light of this vast array of evidence.
is it any wonder that people everywhere are
alarmed by the Communist threat to American
institutions and the American way of life?
No one can follow the twisting trail of
Sidney Hillman and Earl Browder, and look
upon their efforts to bore into honorable labor
organizations and government itself, without
alarm for the future of our country
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-10-31
Radicals in Federal Paw

But that is not all There are actually on
the government pay rolls a great number of
employees having known subversive connec-
lions. subcommittee of the House appro-
priations committee last year recommended
that three key New Deal officials by the names
of Lovett, Watson and Dodd be denied federal
pay because of their membership in subversive
organizations.
Although the House of Representative ap-
proved this recommendation, Mr. Roosevelt has
openly refused to comply with the decision of
Congress that these radicals be dismissed.
On Oct Is, 1889, the Dies Committee of
Congress made public the names, positions and
salaries of 563 government employees in Wash.
lngton who were members of an organization
branded by the attorney general as "a SUBJ
versive organization
On Sept. 6, 1941, Dies wrote the President
giving him 43 exhibits detailing the Communist
affiliation of four top officials in OPA and
suggesting their dismissal
On Oct. IL, 1941, Dies supplied Atty. Gen.
Biddle at his request the names of 1124 fed
eral employees who were members of subversve
organizations. Of these Bidde investigated
6O1. The final result consisted of two dismissas
and disciplinary action against one

Russian Warns America

He wrote an article for the October issue of
Readers Digest in which he said
"As one who worked 20 years under the
Communist dictatorship in close association
with the Soviet leaders, feel 1t is my duty to
warn the American people against this in
sidiously growing menace to their free insti-
tutions.'
Mr.. Barmne also described "the attempt
through the Political Action Committee, to gain
a dominating power in the Democratic party"
He charged that government intelligence files
on Communists have been suppressed.
He said that the aim of this "astute and un-
scrupulous conspiracy is to "lay the ground
work for eventually Selling political power in
the United States and Transforming this coun-
try into totataran Communist dictatorship"
When these charges appeared in print, Mr..
Barmine was summarily fired by the New Deal.
Indeed, the New Deal has been strangely
silent in this campaign about these charges.
Mr.. Roosevelt has not denied its affiation with
Sidney Hillman and his Political Action Com
mittee or with Earl Browder and his Commu-
nists
He weakly told us that he neither seeks nor
welcomes the support of any person or group
committed to communism or fascism. But he
did not repudate their SUPPORTS he did on
Sept. 20, 1886, in an address before the Demo-
cratic state convention at Syracuse n. Y.

Berkman Browder, the wife of Earl Browder.
She is an alien and is in this country illegally.
Yet she has been saved from deportation by
the New Deal, in spite of previous recommen-
dations, approved by the war, navy and justice
department representatives, ordering her out
of the country.
The United States Consul at Montreal said
he was ordered to approve Mrs. Browder's visa
by high officials in the state department. He
also said that the proceedings were farce.
Fourth, there is the case of Harry Bridges.
Even Atty. Gen Biddle, weak and politically
biased as he is, found him to be an alien Com
munist and ordered his deportation. But he is
still in this country-and he is supporting Mr..
Roosevelt
Fifth, consider the extent to which Hill
mans Political Action Committee is actually
run by Communists. Evidence presented to
the Dies Committee showed that at least 50
leaders of the Political Action Committee have
been affiliated with organizations listed by
Atty. Gen. Biddle as Communist Front organi-
cations.
Some of them were found to be "well known
members of the Communist party" while
others "have followed with strict adherence
the Communist party line throughout its devj-
Gus course" In fact the chief Investigator of
the Dies Committee described the Political Ac-
ton Committee as "by-product of the Com
munist party in the United States

Cannot Repudia+e Reds

We can take Mr.. Roosevelt's word when he
fires the Communists from the government pay
roll The truth is that Mr.. Roosevelt cannot
repudiate the support of HIman and Browder
and the Communist elements in this country.
He is their political prisoner.
Now let us look at the facts which con-
cusively prove that Franklin Roosevelt and
the New Deal are in the hands of the radicals
and the Communists.
First take the case of this man Sidney
Hillman, who helped boss the New Deal con-
vention. He was born in Luthenia, then part
of Russia, under the name of Gilman. He came
to this country in 1907. When people come
here we have a right to insist that they accept
our system of government.
He became president of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers about 1914. He returned to
Moscow at least three times, and had CONVEX
sation with Lenin at the kremlin.
1t was here that he is said to have met the
Communist Earl Browder AS his political
power grew, Hillman gathered about him as an
operating group notorious Communists Then
he himself gained access to the government.
President Roosevelt appointed him to the
Labor Advisory Board of NRA, the National

ers and many labor leaders are opposed to q
fourth term. That is why countless members Of
the American Federation of Labor and the CIO
are coming over to the Republican side in this
campaign. They resent Hillman and Browder

not intend to have Hiliman and BrOwder tie the

best interests, it must choose between Com
munist domination and industrial freedom in
