Monday Elections

VOTING relatively as light as that
of the February primary is ex
pected in Mondays spring election,
by James D. Friel, chairman of the
Wayne County board of auditors.
One of the reasons that he ad-
vances for this is that all of Michi-
gan's elections are on Tuesdays,
except these two in which less i'm
portant issues are at stake.
The state Legislature should con-
slider this, and determine whether
Tuesday elections really are more
convenient for Michigan voters,
urban and rural.
And if they are, the law should
be changed.
That wouldn be difficult to do.

POLITICAL PARADE

TlIE refusal Of the Senate to
confirm the appointment of
Aubrey Williams TO a key post
in vast rural agency which is
in process of being converted
into a political adjunct of the
New Deal, reveals two i'm

THE manner in which the recent
l. World Trades Union Conference
in London was convened and con-
Quoted under the COMPILE T E
DOMINATION of the Communists
of Soviet Russia has now been placed
beyond any misunderstanding or
misrepresentation.
The sympathetic but realistic
labor writer of the London Daily
Mail, Mr.. Garry Allighan, has care
fully assembled the facts.
Mr.. Allighan pointed out that the
delegates attending the London con-
ference represented SO labor organi-
cations in various countries having
a total membership of fifty million
workers.
Of this total, he said, more than
twenty seven and one-half millions
are WITHIN THE SOW T
UNION.
Thus, the factor of majority con
troll of the conference by RUSSIAN
-OMM MIST DELEGATES
through numerical superiority was
clearly established.
DUT there was a far greater
A. factor of majority control IN
favor of the Russian Communists,
as Mr. Allighan reported.
"Those figures giUe an MADE
QUATE picture" he acknowledged.
Actually, SoUiet influence COM
PLETELY dominated the scene.

unions of 27,5O2, 900, there Uere at
the conference huge number of
organizations Representing labor
organizations in countries other than
the Soviet Union) which for one rea-
SON or another are WITHIN THE
SOVIET ORBIT"
Among these non Russian but
COMMUNIST CONTROLLED or
ganizations, Mr. Allighan included
the Congress Of Industrial Organiza-
tions (CIO) in the United States,
which he called mot only the rival Of
the American Federation of Labor
but the biggest body (eight millions
of organized American Workers."
Among them, too, he included the
Czecho Slovakia trade unions, the
All India Trades Union, the trade
unions of Mexico and Yugoslavia-
all of which he called admittedly
conscious of Communist influence.
Among them, finally and prop
erly, he included such frankly com.
munistic organizations as the Chinese

poses is TO give War Mobilizer
ByFnes authority 10 freeze men

under penalty of jail for a year
or $1,000 fine and to do GER
tain other things. but the bill
itself neglects to say union
strikers are exempt.
Hence Byrnes might not agree
with the advocates of the pro-
pram IN Congress and might
try to use the legislation TO
freeze workers against strikes
in which case a court would
have TO decide, after the strike
is over, no doubt.
But ByrneS can and probably
will delegate the authority to
Manpowerer McNutt, who might
have other ideas.
THUS the most important
Il angle of the legislation is
still undecided. If strikes are
exempt, then the government
could look pretty silly putting
one man in Jail for year
somewhere for quitting his job,
and letting thousands of men
strike beyond the penalties Of
the bill. and restrained only by
other government action. if any

In short, the measure merely
hands Mr.. Byrnes a lot of
Strong-sounding, but not very
clear, powers. It furthermore
tells him to handle them for
the following purpose:
(Section 2-A( "In order
adequately to support the army
and maintain the navy during
the present war and to carry
into effect the purposes of the
declaration Of war pledging all
the resources of the nation to
bring the conflict To success

have an obligation, when called
upon. to serve the nation in an
activity essential TO the war

DUT the bill does not do that.
I'D The powers do not fit that
purpose. 1t does not propose 10

1t does give Byrnes power 10
regulate hiring. rehiring, solicit

a ceiling on any plant, and

liberty and our rights as free Americans
unite to prevent our government, our
Congress, our legislatures, and our courts

The great majority of union member
ship and officers are fine, right-thlnklng
American men and women. And yet we
find a nation indignant and outraged
against many unions-an army opposed
to and threatening them. Many courts
and legislatures in terror Of them. Why?
Because certa a leaders have fOrsaken

created, and have gone into politics to

"A country sees the specter of oppres-
sion-and government by small cliques
loom larger and darker over the world.
The United States is no exception TO this
trend
1t is pity that the Monroe Doctrine
does not apply to foreign ideology as well
as to foreign guns.
President Madison said: ut is proper
to take alarm at the first experiment on
our liberties"
And Abraham Lincoln said: AT what
point Is the approach Of danger to be eX-
pected? IL il ever reaches us, il must
spring from amongst us. If destruction
be our lot we must ourselves be its author
and 6nishef."
What does Lincoln say? That we can
not be defeated by an enemy from with
out--that if we ever go down to destruc-
tion, it will be from an enemy within.
To avoid this | ask that political free
dom be restored to the American working
man. AS long as a union remains the
servant of the worker and not his master
both are safe.
T HAVE great faith in the American
i people If they retain their freedom,
America retains her freedom. If the peo-
pie sell their freedom-or it is taken
from them by regimentation-no matter
under what patriotic name it masquerades
if the right of free choice is taken
from us, to be administered by our bosses,
America is through. It's purpose is dead.
