The Labor War


increasing in both menace and intensity ever
since the end of the war, has now passed from
the stage of isolated work stoppages involving
scores or hundreds of workers in individual in
dustries to the bighting stage of MASS WORK
STOPPAGE involving hundreds of thousands of
workers in major field of American industrial
production.
The General Motors strike has brought
almost the entire autOmotive machinery of the
nation to GRINDING STOP.
1t has thrown into idleness many more work
ers than the several hundred thousand striking
directly at General Motors
All of the automotive industries of the
nation, in varying degree and with few exceptions,
depend upon General Motors for parts and serv-
ices in such a manner that they will not be able
to continue in operation.
When the full effect Of the strike spreads, as
ii must to the sources of materials and the chan
nels of distribution, the total unemployment in
the country tOilt be tremendously larger and the
degree of industrial stagnatron Wih cause injury
throughout the entire structure of national produc
the enterprise,
THIS is situation that goes far beyond the
usual limits of labor controversy.
1t is Gripping the ability of the whole country
to produce the essential goods Of industry and
thus to sustain itself.
1t is WAR against the people of the country,
against their jobs their livelihood, their welfare
and their security.
How long will the American people be willing
to SUBMIT to the ravages and devastation of
labor warfare on this scale?
Inevitably the majority of the people, in their
own self-nterest, will insist upon better way
of settling labor controversy than strikes which
make cruel and unnecessary war upon all the
people.
There is a better way as the people well
know and as the responsible leaders of labor, in
dustry and government must be compelled to
recognize.
Arbitration of labor disputes should be the
permanent LAW of the country.
1t should be administered by permanent i'm
partial and competent COURTS of arbitration,
created by law
1t should be COMPULSORY arbitration, in
both the matter of submission of issues by labor
and management and their ADHERENCE to de-
cisions made under it.
THE present plague of strikes, of which the
General Motors strike is the worst to date but
only the forerunner of impending mass work
stoppage on an even larger scale, is driving the
American people to a DECISION in this matter.
The American nation has only one ALTER
NATIVE to compulsory arbitration and they are
experiencing the ruinOus effects of that alterna-
tive NOW. <.uN..
1t is the alternative of callous and tragic
LABOR WAR, conducted without regard for the
rights and interests and security of the people
and thus conducted AGAINST the people.
