Why COP Will
Not Win Labor

WASHINGTON, June "a -
(LPA)--The fond dreams OF
such pro-labor Republican, Con
gressman as Sen. Wayne Morse
of Oregon, and Charles Lafol-
lette, of Indiana that the Repub-
lican- Party could be reformed
and made a truly liberal" party
suffered = rude jolt recently.
Answ ers to questionnaires
sent out by the Republican
Open Forum, sponsored by pres
idential hopeful Harold E. Stas-
sen, showed that 1870 of the Re
publicans want further legal re-
strictions placed on union ac-
tivitieS.
More revealing of basic COP
philosophy, however was the
fact that 639o want outright re-
peal of the Wagner Act. Other
tabulations showed that: SO %
want unions SUBJECT to injunc-
tions; 67P6 want jurisdictional
strikes outlawed; 529o want the
union shop prohibited.
