Controlling The Floods Of
Hatred
By Ruth Taylor

| When the SHOWS melt on the far off
mountain tops and the spring rains
begin to fall, then those who dwell
by the great rivers watch for flood
waters. What may be life-giving
streams to great parts of our land are
devastating torrents to other sec
tions. Flood control is a vital subject
to those who dwell in the lowlands
through which the rivers course.
The government engineers have
made great strides in averting the
damage of flood. They have built
great walls to wall off the rivers;
they have reforested great tracts Of
land to absorb the excess water; they
have built great dams to hold back
the torrents and to control their flow
into other areas so they may make
fertile great wastes.
All this is most essential-but even
more necessary today is system of
hate control. AS the war fades into
the background, our unity of purpose
no longer seems vitally essential. AS
result there is growing in this land
of ours increasing hatred and bitter
ness between groups. Shall we let
this flood warp and destroy much of
what we hold dear?
We need to build walls of under
standing to hold the hatreds out. For
mutual understanding leads to mutual
trust and in trust there is no hate.
We need to reforest the SCARED
hatred, bitterness, despair, and intol-
erance-to reforest them with under
standing, compassion, friendliness and
love.
We need to dam back the floods of
hate with bulwarks of education
cation in positive democratic living,
in putting into practice in our every
day life the things in which we be-
lieve.
We need to divert the stream of hate
into useful channels, concentrating
it on ideas and ideologies, not on
peoples or races-hating only the evil
act or quality. Our hatred must run
between such concrete walls of our
will, that we will not be guilty of
either injustice or intolerance to any
member of any group merely because
of his race or creed or color, no more
than we would want him to be guilty
of these towards us. Thus and only
thus can we control the flood waters
Of hate.

the new policy of permitting business
to obtain higher price ceilings for
products to compensate for higher
labor costs. The government should
have insisted that business absorb
the cost of wage increases by in
creasing production and shaving the
rate of profits, they hold.
Meanwhile, big business continued
to exert strong pressure for the prac-
tical abandonment of price control
entirely. The fight in Congress to
extend price controls for another year
has met dangerous and extreme op-
position. Taking issue with the views
Of groups like the National Associa-
tion of Manufacturers, who argue that
removal of price control would in
crease production, Mr.. Eccles told the
House Committee:
"To argue against all price control
is like arguing vaccination on the
ground that it is better to contract
smallpox in the hope that you may
recover from the disease than it is to
take necessary precautions against
contracting it"

Secretary of Labor Schwelenbach Joins Fight On Bill
AS It's Defeat Is Predicted
(wNu Service,

Washington, D. C.-Condemning
the Case bill as "monstrous" anti
labor measure, AFL President Will
liam Green told the Senate Labor
Commottee that the federation would
oppose it "uncompromisingl with all
our collective and political strength. .
In furious attack on the sponsors
of the legislation, which has been pass
ed by the House, Mr.. Green charged
that the same sinister influences which
put the discredited Smith Connally Act
on the law books have sought to in
spire "angry hatred" for organized
labor.
Mr.. Green literally took the Case
bill apart, analyzing it section by sec
tion and demonstrating forcefully how
dangerous and hypocritical it's pro-
visions are.
His testimony took immediate eff
feet. Senator James E. Murray, chair
man of the Senate Labor Committee,
predicted the bill never would be re-
ported out of committee. He said it
was IAN extreme measure, designed
to destroy labor unions"
Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach
followed Mr.. Green to the witness
stand and took a few powerful licks
at the Case bill. He warned that pas
sage of the measure "may well initiate
an era Of industrial warfare" and call
ed it an ill-advised 'hodge-podge,' y
heavily weighed against labor unions
In his analysis of the bill, Mr.
Green directed heavy fire against the
section attempting to ban boycotts.
This section, he contended, was
"a flat and permanent prohibition
against the right to strike in usual
and ordinary circumstances" He com.
mented:
Consider, for example, the case Of
an employer having several plants
each of which works on or processes
the same items. Under this prohibi.
tion the existence of a board certifi.
cate and contract covering one plant
would make it unlawful for the em.
ployes Of all the other plants to strike
for recognition, for higher wages o,
for any other plainly lawful objec,
tive"
| Mr.. Green declared that "irrepar.
able losses" could be caused to labor
unions by suspension Of their rights
for 90 days to months if founl
guilty by the NLRB of violating these
provisions. He also criticized posi-

peated emphasis on "cooling-off" pc
riods.
81 should have thought" he as
serted, chat the farcicle experience
of the Smith Connally Act was
enough. The implication that unions
usually strike in heated moments and
in total disregard of the welfare of
both their own members and the pub
lie is gratuitously insulting and who'll
ly unfounded."
Concerning Section 10 of the bill,
to authorize damage suits in either
federal or state courts for violations
of collective-bargaining agreements,
Mr.. Green said:
"One of the important detectives
of the Norris-La Guardia act was to
remove from federal courts jurisdic-
tion that, under our federal system of
government, properly belonged to
state courts. This provision would
eliminate that salutary effect of the
Norris-La Guardia act"
Section II, which maintains pro-
hibition against injunctions affecting
the right to strike, peaceful assem-
bly, or peaceful picketing, but author
ICES federal district courts to enjoin
force or violence in a labor dispute,
he characterized as apparently a vio-
lation of state rights. He added:
"But even more important is the
wholesale abuse this provision will
inevitably create. Elk parte restrain
ing orders will issue indiscriminately
upon the mere improved allegations
that unions are threatening violence.
"Many federal courts will, as has
been aptly stated, see threats in a
picket's frowns and indictments to
violence in union rally Government
by injunction will no longer refer
to a by-gone era-it will become the
ugly, living actuality it once was.
| Mr.. Green pointed out that a strik-
er, provoked into committing simple
assault, would forever lose his status
as an employe under the bill. He added:
"Thus the hateful blacklist is re-
vived, and this time it would have the
formal support Of the federal govern
ment."
He asserted that Sin view of the
whole tenor of this monstrous bill it
need hardly be remarked that violence
committee or instigated by the en-
ployer is nowhere mentioned or pun
ished."
He protested against the removal
of supervisory employees from the
provisions of the National Labor Re-
lations Act, declaring that these en-
ployes would become neither fish nor
fowl and would be "denied the eco
nomic protection that only organiza-
tion can provide"
