Hatch Aims
Axe at Work
In Politics

There have been many attempts 10
cut down on the right Of workers to
vote and take political action. Most
brazen of these Is the Smith, onnally
Act which tries to prevent organized
workers from taking their part in poll.
tics along with their fellow-ctiizens
from other walks Of life.
The Smith, onnally Act (which
runs for the duration and six
months) forbids unions from giving
money to candidates for election to
Federal Office - congressman and
candidates for the job Of President
of the u. s.
The Act does not forbid labor politi-
cal action or contributions In primaries
or in local or state elections. It was
directed solely against unions, since
corporations and wealthy families are
allowed to give any amount Of money
they like through their individual off,
GERS and members, simply by sticking
to the $4,000 limit per Individual.
Not satisfied with this attempted
gag on labor political action, the
Senate passed last February a new
Hatch Act Is. 1921 aimed at the
peoples right to take political action.
This was the bill, sponsored by
Sen. Carl Hatch 3D., N. M to make
the Smith-C onnally Acts ban on
labor union contributions permanent.
Senator Hatch is also the author OF
the earlier Hatch Act that cuts off
U. s. government employees from
normal political life.
