COOLING OFF
By JOSEPH A. PADWAY
Chief Counsel for the AFI,

President Truman's new proposals
for the settlement of labor disputes
by fact-finding boards functioning DUR
ing compulsory cooling-off periods are
now before Congress. The American
Federation of Labor does not agree
with the Presidents plan but it be-
lieves he is completely sincere and
well-meaning in proposing it.
Nevertheless, the plan embodies
some obvious faults and some even
more dangerous implications.
To begin with, similar sugges-
tion was considered and rejected only
week ago by the abor-Manage-
ment Conference because the delegates
felt it would not work.
After all, the best way to obtain
peaceful industrial relations is for la
Dor and management to get together
and settle their own problems through
genuine collective bargaining and, if
necessary, voluntary arbitration. The
moment compulsion or outside inter-
vention is introduced, collective bar
gaining flies out the window. We be-
lieve the Presidents plan does not of
fer sufficient announcement to gen
uine collective bargaining and volun-
tary arbitration. In our opinion, there
is not single dispute existing in AM
erican industrial life today which
could not be settled promptly by the
sincere application of these methods.
The right to strike is definitely i'm
paired by the Presidents bill. AL
though the compulsory cooling-off
period is supposed to last only 80 days,
1t constitutes just as serious limita-
ton of American liberties as would a
30-day suspension of the right of free
speech or free press.
Of course, the bill expressly up
holds the right of any individual work
er to quit his job at any time he sees
fit. But if two or more workers decide
to quit in violation of the terms of
the proposed plan, that would be un-
lawful. 1t would subject such workers
to charges of conspiracy and would re-
vive court injunctions against union
activies. We thought this abuse was
buried for all time when the Norris
LaQuardia Act was passed many
years ago, but now it is rising from
the grave to haunt and harass organ
lied labor again.
Another danger is that the Presi-
dents proposal may open the door to
even more drastic legislation. Anti
labor groups in Congress already are
sharpening their tomahawks.

still in the face Of proposed legisla-
tion that in any way compels workers
to work for even one minute against
their will. We are not prepared to
accept even little bit of slavery. We
intend to remain wholly Free"
Mr.. Meany did not pull his punches
in discussing the activities of the
Communists internationally or do
mestically. He said:
"The philosophy that might makes
right has never, in the past, brought
us permanent peace. History tells us
that power politics cannot bring
peace. Our own capacity to remem-
Der, even for a short time back, tells
us that peace cannot be purchased by

"Our representatives in Washing
ton must accept this challenge. To
pretend that we do not know that mil
lions of people in Eastern Europe are
today victims of dictatorial tyranny
with all the old familiar trappings
used by Hitler and his mob would be
an act of national hypocrisy. We have
nothing to gain by refusing to ac-
knowledge the facts in regards to the
lone-wolf foreign policy of Soviet Rus
sia. Our government must resist firm
ly all attempts to set up spheres of
influence which ignore the democratic
rights of the people affected. Only
in this way can the United States
make it's full contribution to future
world peace as a major factor in the
new United Nations Organization.
"The American Federation of La
Dor wants the United Nations to be
united nations and not just jealous
| aggregation of powerful rivals. We
are convinced that our country will
gladly help to establish a United Ma

cratic liberties are assured and the
free will of the people of each nation

"a great many Americans are puz-
zled today about our country's rela-
tions with Russia and our attitude to-
ward the communists. The great ma
jority, l believe, are frankly unable
to decide what the aims of the Soviets
are and what our American program
should be. There are many earnest
citizens who believe that Russia is
bent on the traditional aim of world
revolution for Communism or on a
fran k ly imperialistic nationalism.
Another and far smaller group assert
that everyone is out Of step except
Russia and that any opposition to any
Soviet aim is prima facie evidence of
fascism."
Mr.. Meany warned labor against
being duped by Communist-front or
ganizations in this country which use
devious tricks to drum up support for
Soviet policies and to undermine AM
erica's foreign policy.
'It must be clear to ALL" he said,
chat there can be no compromise be-
tween real trade unionism and a po-
litical party which receives it's orders
from Moscow"
Organized labor's chief contribu-
tion to the cause of world peace, Mr..
Meany concluded, is "to see to it that
we remain free here at home" I'm
less freedom of the individual is main
tanned in America, he insisted, "there
is not much that we will be able to do
