SELFISH CONTROL

Social and economic gains
have been obtained through
organization. Even Labor's
enemies admit this publicly.
They are afraid Of the postwar
period because they know that
further gains will be made.
Senator Wagner did not
fight for this legislation so
that selfish groups could con-
troll the Workingman. Yet Sen
ator Wagner, with his broad
experience and association
with the problems of the work
ers and their organizations,
certainly knew that individu-
ais other than industrial ty-
coons have exploited the wage

pie are waiting for their con

der, brought about because of

SIMPLE FACTS

SIMPLE FACIS
Let's just look closely at a
few of the simple facts in the
case.
The public has been led to
believe that the no o-strike
pledge is a unilateral commit
ment by organized labor not
to strike for any reason for
the duration of the war.
This is cockeyed inter
pretation of the facts and
motives involved in the MAX
ing of the pledge.
The no-strike pledge is in
fact an agreement not to
strike under certain condi-
tions. Those conditions are
tWo-fold: First, that employ
ers abstain from belligerence
in labor relations during the
war emergency; and second,
that the government provide
orderly means of adjusting
labor disputes on basis of
equity and fair dealing.
WALL OF HISTORY
To define the no-strike
pledge in any other way is
to butt ones head against the
cold, hard wall of history.
This is what | mean: If
conditions in America were
such that labor suffered no
major injustices, and if we
could see ahead of us a clear,
smooth road to a better dem
ocratic life - then we could
justifiably commit ourselves
not to strike for any reason.
But the facts of history are
that this is a war against
Fascism. And Fascism is not a
German beast nor a Japanese
monster. 1t is a revolt of the
aristocrats, autocrats and
plutocrats against the grow
ing democratic power of the
common people.
1t is the Fascist elements i'm
America which want to de-
stroy the labor unions. because
the unions are the advance
guard of the popular dem
ocratic governments which
fight for the rights and in
terests of the common people.
SOFT ANSWERS
You cannot fight Fascism
with turned cheeks and soft
answers. American Fascism
has not pledged itself not to
attack democracy for the du
attack democracy for the du-
ration. In fact, the reactionary
employers, publishers and pol
iticians have not pledged
themselves to keep their teeth
out of labor's throat, either.
That is why the workers
have found it impossible to
keep what is misinterpreted
as unilateral pledge not to
strike during the war,
| move that we amend the
no strike pledge so as make it
atripartite no-strike agree
ment, with industry COM
mitted not to attack the
unions, and with the govern
ment authorized to crack
down on employers who vio-
late the terms of the agree
ment.
Then we could prev vent
strikes, and get on with the
job of smashing Fascism
