CI0Urges Mass Voting
As Liberal Guarantee
BY ths Assoeiaied Press

The CLOS department Of educa-
ton and research asserted .yester-
day that mass registration and
mass voting is the best guarantee
OF liberal, progressive government. !"
TOO many Americans regard poll
tics as a boxing match-a purely
spectator SPORT" it said in the June
issue Of its monthly bulletin, Eco
nomic Outlook.
"In the past, their nonparticipa-
ton has led to great victories for
reactionary forces; machine politics
control the results when. voters
Sleep" it added.
Pointing out that the November
congressional elections will be the
first since the death of President
Roosevelt, the bulletin said 30, ,0o0, 900
voters went to the polls in 1898,
50,00O,0O0 in 1910, $4,000 900 in 1912
and 100000 in 1914, and added
I'm 1916 there is a potential vote
Of SO million. How many Americans
will 60 to the polls in November?
The answer will decide whether we
have liberal or reactionary Con-
gress for the next two crucial years.
The bulletin used charts and con-
gressional roll call votes to illustrate
its contention that in almost every
instance, low-voting in nonpresi-
Dental election years returned re-
actionaries to Congress while large
voting turnout elected liberal and
progressive candidates."

Senator Ball Asks BAN
On Industy-Wide
Union Bargaining !
by The Assoeiotsd Press

TAMIMENT, Pa, June 22.-The
elimination Of ii1dustry-wide COL
lective bargaining in such fields as
transportation, coal and steel was
suggested today by Senator Ball,
Republican, Of Minnesota as one
road to industrial peace.
mo government that wants to
remain government can permit
the basic supply OF commodities
such as coal. steel and transporta-
ton to be interrupted very long"
he told the 18th annual Tamiment
Social and Economic Conference.
The Senator recommended a re-
turn to the system OF negotiating
union Encouragement contracts f'on an
individual plant or at least on an
individual employer basis"
Senator Ball said compulsory ar
bitration, though he once advocated
it, is not the solution to the Ma
tion's labor problem.
Neither Is Government seizure"
he said. Lately the Government
has been writing the contracts and
the employer hasn't had much to
say about it.
Sometime you may get a gov
ernment that will write the con-
tracts from the other angle-and
the unions will have to take 1t or
else"
Senator Ball suggested terms OF
union officials be limited to two or
four years and that they be elected
by referendum to the membership
instead of convention.
I'VE abandoned the convention
idea in our political parties in the
Midwest years ago." he said, "be-
cause we found that they're little
too easy to control. It's the same
with union conventions"
Senator Ball predicted legislation
to amend the Wagner Act so unions
as well as employers will be COM
PEELED to Bargain collectively.
I'm too many instances unions
have slapped down a contract and
said You sign 1t or we walk out !"
he said.
The Wagner Act also should be
amended Ito give an employer the
right Of free speech" he said. EN-
ployers now are afraid sometimes to
discuss a contract because of fear
they will be accused Of threat or
coercion"
Mentioning "the closed shop and
the closed union," Senator Ball as
serted that unions are arbitrarily
depriving too many individuals of
the right to earn a living. I don't
believe we'll tolerate it much longer" !"
"The union leadership will ind
themselves in the same position as
the Republican party for IL years
unless they develop a program Of
their own," he declared.
Instead Of screaming 'antilabor'
at every proposal made they must
develop answers OF their own to
these problems. Then we'll get to-
gether in the long run and get a lot
better legislation" he said.
