FACING THE HARD FACTS

nR. WILLIAM M. LElSERSON, chairman Of the
- National Mediation Board, gave congress and
the NAM something to think about last week
when he pointed out some hard facts. He said:
Laws to prohibit strikes provide no solution
They merely give us illegal strikes instead of
legal ones"
DR.. Leiserson pointed out that when labor gave
its nO-strke pledge, it was with the understand
ing that all matters involving labor and employers
would be decided on their merits Since that time
a fallacious formula has been set up as the guide
post.
Any law that does not express the sentiments
of an overwhelming ma jority of the people, and
does not conform to the ambitions and ideals and
the customs Of the people, cannot be enforced
Prohibition was an example. The dry law did not
work it could never work
Just as the dry law made millions of law
breakers, so will any restrictive law that is aimed
at labor. The only way to put labor in irons is to
abolish the constitution and set up fascist state
Is that what the National Association of Manu-
facturers and the southern poll-taXers want?
Yes, labor has its responsibilities as well as it's
rights. There are plenty Of laws on the books
right now to take of the racketeers if and
when they found. But, laws that are intended
to stihe labor unions, such as the vicious Smith
Connally Act, will never work. for they do not eX-
press the sentiments Of the vast majority who are
the working people Of America.
Strikes can best be abolished by the Substtu-
ton Of confidence and cooperation between labor
and management. There is no other way. Honest
Americans meeting together in mutual confidence
and with desire to reach an agreement, can do so.

THE MEANS ARE AT HAND

|'s'l1E MEANS are at hand to defeat the filbustel
which will be led against the anti-poll tax bill
HR 7. They can be used-and used successfully
If supporters Of the bill stand up and fight fol-
its passage.
Democratic Senator Alben Barkley of Ken
lucky (where labor has requisite number OF
votes to re-elect or to defeat him next November)
las ma ajolity leader Of the Senate, has the power
to start from the first day of the fbuster holding
the Senate in session 16 hours a day, making the
filbusterers talk until they're exhausted
Republican Senators (notaby Senator Taft of
Ohio and Senator Vandenberg of Michigan both
states where labor voters play key role in cleo
tlons) have said again and again that they favor
ant-poll tax legislation. They know that if they
join with liberal Democrats in voting for cloture
to close debate, Hi. can pass the Senate in 3
days
Yet when the bill was last in the Senate, and
was then ibustered TO death, Senator Barkley
ran the Senate only hours a day and later both
Democratic and Republican friends of the bill
consented to a 'gentemen's agreement to drop
the bill If first vote for cloture rule to close de-
bate and end the filibuster failed.
There is no reason why Senators who favor
IIR should let themselves be bullied by the
ilibusterers. With the American people united
behind them they can demand the bill be called
up without further dangerous delay; they can
keep the bill the floor of the Senate until it is
passed and reject any agreement to drop't; they
can refuse to make deals with the filibusterers
they can make them talk 16 hours day every
day. they vote for clOture rule to close debate.
And they can pass the bill.

SOLDIER VOTE BILL lS LAW,
BUT FDR CUIDES CONGRESS-

Washington (F'P)-nreSident RooSc-
Welt let the mass of red tape compriS-
ing the states rights" soldier vote bill
become law without his signature, but
in Il message to Congress March 81
appealed for an amendment so as to
authorize all service men and women
50 use the federal ballot without prior
express authorization by the states.
The president suggested that in this
manner congress would be cleared OF
any responsibility for blocking service
voting and put that question Squarcly
UP 10 the states.
As now enacted, he said 1t will, OF
course, be understood by those in the
armed services, who want to vote but
cannot, that Congress itself shares the
responsibility through the complexities
of this bill"

SOUND THINKING ON JUVENILE
DELINQUENCY

A MIDWESTERN Judge the other day solved
a case Of Juvenile delinquency to his own salts
faction by persuadng mother to leave her war
Job and stay at home to keep an eye on her six
tcen-ycar old daughter. Towns all over the United
States lately, are solving their juvenile delinquency
problems to their own satisfaction by imposing
curleWs for teen-age children. Put the lid on the
manifestations Of the problem, these people seem
to think, and you have solved your problem.
The psychologists have name for this sou-
ton. 1t is "escapism." The animal world has a
ready made symbol for 1.-THE ostrich. We ought
to know better, by this time, than to attempt to
eradicate an evil by merely shaking the fist Of
hority-Whether it is the authority of the
home, or the authority of the government
1t is encouraging IN this connection to note
that the Labor League for Human Rights, official
relief arm of the AtL, is setting up a series
of local standing committees to work with local
social agencies, as well to ntegrate other
patriotic and relief activities of AFL members.
If the trade unions and the social agencies can
really get together in constructive way to work
out solutions instead of eXpedents, and to offer
aid instead Of utimatums to our restless and un-
certain generation, it will be worth more in immc-
diate and in long-term results than hundred
caSt-rOn curfeWS.

!. COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Great Britain realizes that the wa
will end some day, and plans are il
the making for the postwar era. Ever
while working 100 per cent of The
| population on war materials, som,
Britishers are preparing for wha
comes next.
Gerald Barry, editor of the LondoI
NewSC Chronicle says housing will be
an urgent prob lem in postwar
Britain" Says there will be need fol
100000 new houses when millions OF
men in service and war workers now
living in hostels and billets away from
home get back to normal life.
Il am quite sure" he says, that
supplying houses in the decade after
the war cannot be left to unrestricted
private enterprise alone" And he
points out that experience has proved
this has left us with sprawling cities
poor quality houses, and the uneco
nOmic and unSightly use of land"
Il do not think it will be a Socialist
enterprise, either" he continues. Prob
ably it will be the familiar British
compromise Some semipublic national
corporations will be set up, and GER
tainly municipal authorities will have
Il big hand in the scheme
Barry advocates Il national master
plan for proper economic use of land
and to avoid waste of either land
material, or time of people.
where people live and where they
work. he says, should be planned in
relation to one another. People should
not have to waste time, money and
health travelling unnecessarily long dis
tances day by day in uncomfortable
conditions to and from work. That is
waste. This sort of planning will have
to be done before the housing problem
can be really efficiently tackled"
He also points out that agricultural
possibilities must he surveyed and pre-
served. Recreational areas must be
protected from encroachment of indus
try and housing.
y
ful country, but some of it's finest
natural beauty, both along the coasts
and inland, has already been spoiled
by unrestricted private enterprise in
building
Private enterprise it seems, is no
different in England than in America
Here we now have campaign, with 4
strong lobby in Washington, demand
ing that slum clearance and postwar
housing be left entirely in the hands Of
this same private enterprise
Everything Barry has said about
private enterprise in England is mir
rored here in America His deScrip-
ton of "Sprawling" British towns can
be applied to our own cities and towns.
There is no reason TO be surprised at
this, because private enterprise must
show II profit. Building II houses on
10 lots means 10 per cent more profit
1t is up to the people themselves to
assert themselves and to see that pri-
v;ite enterprise has the assistance of
men and women who have something
other than profit in the back of their
minds; people who can see into the
future far enough to realize that better
homes mean better citizens; that better
citizens mean Il better nation.
