new BILL FOR
LRB 0 P P OSED
BY The NAACP

, WASHINGTON, D. C.-Cepies Of
the resolution adopted by the
NAACP Board OF Directors at its
September meeting strongly dis
approved S. iii. the Federal In
dustrial Relations act, were pre-
sented 10 its sponsors, Sen. Carl A.
Hatch Cd, N. Mex and Joseph
II. Ball (R.. Mimi. by Leslie Per-
ry of the NAACP Washington bu-
reau last week Senator Harold H.
Burton (R., Ohio) the other CO.
sponsor was recently given a seat
on the bench of the United States
Supreme court.
The bill proposes to scrap the
National Labor Relations board in
favor OF flve-man Federal Labor
Relations board to handle contro-
versleS between labor and manage
nent
The NAACP listed the following
objections to the bill:
Cd The right 10 strike would be
more seriously limited in peace
time under this bill than il was
in time OF war. 90 The salutary
restrictions of the NorriS-La Guar
dla Act against labor lnjunctlons
by federal courts would be re-
Taxed and largely set aside. 81 The
bill is SO drawn as. TO exclude from
federal regulation great numbers
Of industries and enterprises over
which the National Labor Rela-
tons board now exercises juris-
diction with the sanction Of the
Supreme court. (4 Union "influ-
ence" upon and interference"
with the selection Of a bargaining
representative is prohibited. thus
opening the way for undue restric-
ton Of proper union activity of
labor organizers. 81 Although the
bill contains a desirable prohibition
Of closed shop where Negroes are
excluded from union membership
it apparently would permit a closed
shop with Jim Crow and "Auxil-
larry" Negro locals. Moreover, a
labor organization which excludes
Negroes altogether may become
the exclusive bargaining agent
for these excluded Negroes under
the bill. Negro railroad men
among others. know the conse-
quences of such an arrangement
The NAACP indicated that il
would testify in opposition 10 the
bill when hearings arc held on II
by the Senate education md labor
committee, Organized labor is also
against the Hatch Burton-Ball bill

that there will always be oppor-
tunity for political give and take
before any appropriation needed
10 commence . full employment
public works program Is voted
by the Congress.
LABOR is not misled. Labor
leaders are aware Of the MANY
stumbling blocks which confront
any effort 10 achieve full employ
ment by legislation. That accounts
in large measure, we think, for
labor's decision 10 take now the
far more practical as we'll as quick
er approach OF forcing management
TO disgorse some OF It's war profits
and thereby create more spending
power in the hands of the masses.
They know that q prime prereaui-
site for full employment is in
creased purchasing power In the
hands Of a greater portion OF the
population. Buying power creates
demand for goods; demand creates
increased production, and produe-
ton means jobs. The Hrst step
toward full employment, therefore.
Is to increase wages.
The present Full Employment
Bill does not represent a forth
right effort in this direction
Stripped OF all ideslism 1t will
provide only gloriiied WPA pro-
gram carried out on a heretofore
unheard of scale. Financing such
a program means proportional in
creases In the tax burdens OF ALL
labor as we'll as capital. Labor be-
lieves that a more appropriate ap-
proach would be to regard the
cost Of unemployment as a legiti-
mate risk and expense of operating
our system OF private enterprise.
Adoption Of this view would de-
rnand that the necessary increase
In mass purchasing power be
brought about by compelling indus
try TO surrender a greater share
OF its profits to those without whose
labor those exorbitant profits could
never have been achieved. In 9TH
er words, government must land IL
it won't, then labor must) bring
about q more equitable balance be-
tween the share OF the national
income which capital gets In profits
and that which labor gets In wages.
The Michigan chronicle. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1936-current, 1945-10-20

Detroit. II will mean that the peO-
pie have addicated. Then capital,
which has been waiting for the In
vitation. can make an open polit-
ical effort TO control Detroit. Cap
ital has not dared do this up to
now. Of course IL has sought pre-
ferment. Capital has tried to pick
its men behind the scenes. In
some cases il has.
This election offers to the people
the opportunity TO retain their con-
troll of the city. Jeffries will not
be against labor He will not come
out against capital either. He will
not be fire eating liberal, He
will give a progressive sdministra-
ton to the affairs of the city. He
will follow mostly along the beat
en- path" He will not force the is
sues before us and thereby not con-
tribute TO the confusion that is ours
and the nations at this time.
Mr. Frankensteen's election will
do more harm TO the labor move
ment than 10 the city of Detroit
Mr.. Frankensteen will be con-
fronted with the processes Of gov
eminent that will not allow him to
live up TO his promises. This very
fact will throw the workers in a
state Of confusion. Mr. Franken-
stecn. the fine person that he is,
will try TO meet the confusion. He
will only add TO IL.
The accumulative results OF the
election Of Mr.. Frankensteen will
be loss of confidence on the part
Of workers in political action and
the distrust Of the public In the
ability OF labor 10 help plan for
the future of Detroiters. Mr.
Frankensteen senses this. so he
keeps saying that he will be mayor
for all the people. He will want
TO so be.
Your columnisk has given many
Of his years 10 helping labor or
ganiZe and will continue 10 do 80.
In this election labor would be
benefited more 0y the defeat OF Mr..
Frankensteen than by his election.
II Is not a matter whether labor
likes Jeffries or does not like him.
The question Is whether labor shall
remain a great force for the good
Of workers or whether II shall
spend its great energies In = struE-
gle for transitory power.
A labor leader with the ability
and sincerity Of Mr.. Frankensteen
sells short his followers when he
takes the responsibility Of political
administration In addition 10 the
great problems that organized labor
must face now and In the imme-
diate future. The things that gnaw
AZ the vitals Of labor are more i'm
portant than who holds the Job Of
Mayor for Detroit. Especially Is
this true now. Mr.. Jeffries Is
harmless az far ~ the Interests 81
labor are concerned. In fact, he II
the best kind Of mayor for labor In
a town such as this. He lets labor
alone.

Of the bill will mean that. for the
