BATTLE GOES ON IN BOOKS

The books that are beginning to ap-
pear about the war will produce a number
81 violent controversies and it is well for
the reader to understand that no one man
snows the truth about everything that
happened. even in one campaign.
For example, Ralph Ingersoll, form
~ Major and newspaper writer, comes to
bat in Top Secrets, in which he bitterly
assails Field Marshall Montgomery, uses
Churchill as interference and relegates
Generals Marshall and Eisenhower to a
second place. putting his hero, General
Omar Bradley. in the top spot
We do not doubt the sincerity of Mr..
ingefsoll in what he writes, but it strikes
az that il is somewhat remarkable that he
has the temerity to suggest that he alone
zno~s what occurred during the eventful
days Of the American offensives. He init
mates that General Bradley won the vic
tories often without General Essen
bowers knowledge and tells of various
Incidents. which. in his opinions. indicate
hat TOO much attention was paid to the
British and that too many supplies were
given them.
L is all right to read the InoersolI
volume i you have the time. but if Won
10 so under the impression that Won are
receiving the absolute low-down on everv-
hing. then You are not only wasting vo,,,.
me but you are confusing your intellect

LETTERS TO EDITOR
TO TIE EDITOR:

TO THE EDITOR:
CTRIKE,. strike. strike is the
- American theme song OF to-
day!
II is evident that the Go is
trying 10 see how far they can
pry and snoop into labor and IN
dustrial life and keep every
body confused
While our boys were fighting
and dying, and their blood
stained the ground over there
the Go pulled one strike after
another all during ue war
without any consideration or re-
gard for any one. Guns and
ammunition were rationed
Because of this shortage,
thousands Of our boys were
killed needleSSly, because they
had nothing TO fight back with.
This was stab in the back
to our boys by labor and the
union. who should have stayed
on the job and backed up our
boys instead. Now we have the
General Motors and other
strikes which are causing un-
told hardshipS 10 men with
large families. children Of di-
vorced parents and our returned
veterans, who expected TO find
Jobs instead of strikes. An
other slap in the face by the
Go for our returned veterans.
This week they ordered the
school strike, throwing thou
sands of kids out of school and
into the streets, encouraging
the nationwide crime wave al
ready in progress And teen
age kids are being used here IN
Flint as plcketS!
Have we Americans become
so thoughtleSs and greedy that
when the Go bangles a 5 or 10
cents raise before our eyes we
forget our boys who died and
fought for us, our duty 10 our
returned veterans, and our own
teen-age kids TO such a point
that we endanger their lives?

catastrophe,
To understand il. one must
have gone through the trials
Of war in order 10 fully under

those who rushed 10 the appeal
of their country for the SUI

who survived and are now
lying in various governmental
and private sanatoriumS 10

To understand the shock and
pain of those war manned, one
must have suffered the same,
and especially all alone. with
no one interested in hun. and
no other provider except the
government authorities.

POLITICAL PARADE

nate the most devastating gen.

known, the strike against the
basic steel industry, IN violation
of existing legal contracts.
While the President of the
United States, leader of the
party which is in political ALI
ance with left-wing organized
Detroit evening times., 1946-01-25

W eral of the United States
his name Is Tom c. Clark--but
you would never suspect it, IN
these days when lawlesS strikes
against the welfare of America
are sweeping the nation.
Atty. Gen. Clark is as silent
and inactive as spare tire
bolted securely under the back
seat.
His name appears IN no pro-
ceedings of the government, Of
which he is the legal officer, to
restore law and order.
When you consider for a mo-
ment why this should be so in
this hour of social and economic
crisis, you will perhaps be able
TO realize why Congress chirps
like a sparrow at the condor of
destruction, and the President
talks of finding facts, when the
facts are apparent on a dozen
bloody illegal picket lines.
In the past the United States
government h d two instru-
ments of police power to put
down internal disorders, the
military, and United States
marshals
IN 1894 President Cleveland
z used both TO put down he
strikes and riots in Illinois,
when he proclaimed the state 10
be in inSurrection. The strike
was crushed and the leaders in
dicted for rebellion and con-
spiracy.
In 1919 when. a great coal
strike threatened to paralyze
the country, a Democratic at
torney general, A. M itch h e il
Palmer. went into federal court
in indianapolis, and stopped II
by use of the power of the in
junction. The country was
saved from disaster
In Harding's administration,
in 1922, a devastating railroad
strike occurred. The lWW
since absorbed by the Com
munists committed acts of
sabotage, and finally Santa Re
trains were abandoned by their
crews in the deserts of Arizona
Again an attorney general
invoked the legal powers of
the COVE ernme mt, Harry M.
Daugherty stopped the strike
by obtaining an injunction in
Judge WilkerSon's court IN Chi
cago. Strike So J Q ders. were
brought to trial in Los Angeles
GAM GOMPERS demspded the
~ Impeachment of Daugherty
and a bill of impeachment was
introduced IN the House, but the
impeachment failed, although
the Daugherty haterS after
wards pursued him to the grave.
Finally under the pressure of
organize labor Congress
stripped the United States gov
ernment of its power TO deal
with strikes through the courts.
The so-callcd NorriS-LaGuar-
dia Act of March %. 1882 the
House then being Democratic
deprived the courts of the
power to issue restraining or
ders, or temporary or perma-
nent injunctions, in cases grow

Detroit evening times., 1946-01-25

OUT OF all the proposals that have
" been made in Congress TO deal
with the labor problem, one in par
ticular should be speedily enacted
into law.
1t is the one sponsored by Senator
Harry F. Byrd of Virginia, who has
introduced bill ito provide for the
incorporation and registration of
labor organizations and to impose
certain responsibilities upon such
organizations. "
This bill recognizes the facts that
labor unions have become permanent
institutions, commanding enormous
revenues and exercising enormous
economic powers; that institutions of
this character may operate as form
of upergovernment unless they are
Justly but adequately regulated by
law; and that the principles of law
and equity should apply to them IN
THE SAME MANNER AND TO
THE SAME DEGREE that these
principles apply to business corpora
tions or to any other kind of associa-
tion which, in the language of the law
itself, are affected with a public
interest"
pEQUIRING othing of labor
IA which is not required of indus
try and finance, and providing in
dividual protection for labor union
members which does not now exist,
Senator Byrd's bill provides;
THAT "eUery labor organiza-
tion having one or more members
engaged in commerce" shall be in
corporated under the larOs of the
District of Columbia.
2-That eUery such labor organi-
zation snail file annually tUith the
Securities and Exchange Comnis-
sion slOorn statement of the names,
titles and compensation of its Of
fcers; the industry in tOhich it func-
tions and the companies tDith Which
it deals; its initiation fees, annual
dues and any assessments ieUied in
IN the previous ~ months; its linlita-
tions on membership and the num-
Der of "paid-up" members; the date
and method of the tast election of
officers, With the Uote for and
against each candidate; and its
financial reserves, tUith the date of
the "last detailed financial statement
furnished oil members and the
method of publication or circula-
tion of such statement"
Along With these data, the
articles of incorporation and by
laDs would also be filed annually.
3-That any labor organization
failing to comply with the fore
going provisions Uould be deprived
of "any rights, privileges or benefits
under the National Labor Relations
Act"
THE Byrd plan would unquestion-
Il ably abolish many of the abuses
of which LABOR UNION MEM
BERS are now the victims
= There are labor unions the mem
bers of which never see copy of
their constitution or by laws.
The Byrd plan would bring these
secret documents to light.
There are labor unions in which
'la Dor bosses" perpetuate them
selves in power through false cleo
tions or no elections at all.
The Byrd plan would give every
union member the benefit of union
ballots.
There are labor unions in which
Detroit evening times., 1946-01-25
Legislation for
Industrial Peace

entrenched labor bosses practice
nepotism, bestowing high salaried
Jobs upon relatives or favorites
The Byrd plan would eliminate
the vice.
There are labor unions in which
the members are arbitrarily amerced
or are compelled to make financial
contributions for political purposes
which they do not themselves sup
port.
The Byrd plan would expose and
consequently abolish this exaction.
THERE are labor unions which are
L used by unscrupulous leaders "
to blackmail employers.
The Byrd plan would erect bar
rier against this type of criminallty.
There are labor unions the treas.
uries of which are looted by rack
eteering officials.
The Byrd plan would subject
these embezzlers to indictment and
prosecution.
There are labor unions which
have usurped monopoly powers in
their fields of employment, exclud-
ing youths from apprenticeship or
compelling journeymen to pay in.
ordinate "fees" for the privilege"
of earning an honest living
The Byrd plan would bring these
attitudes under public scrutiny.
There are labor unions which
breach their own solemn contracts
with employers, made supposedly in
good faith" and there are labor
unions which tolerate, if they do not
encourage, wildcat" strikes.
THE Byrd plan would penalize
l. these occurrences-and at the
same time protect labor against lock-
outs by ruthless employers-by the
simple device of authorizing labor
unions TO SUE and BE SUED.
Labor bosses will object to "dis-
closing" financial records and trans
actions.
Why should they when such an
enlightened labor group as the In
ternational Ladies Garment Workers
Union lone of the largest unions in
the world-REG ULARLY and
VOLUNTARILY opens it's books to
it's membership and the nation at
large?
The Byrd plan, in sum, will make
labor unions RESPONSIBLE as
they should IRRESPONSIBLE to
their own rank and file, RESPON-
SIBLE to the public and RESPON-
SIBLE to their own engagements
under the equitable laws of the land.
More is needed, of course.
7 ABOR unions should be brought
~ fully under the corrupt practices
acts, just as business corporations
have been, for the sake of purity of
elections and for the perpetration of
representative government.
Industry and labor alike should
be subject to compulsory arbitration,
when collective bargaining" breaks
down, in order to prevent the public
injury, the economic losses to enter
prise and the privations visited upon
labor itself by strikes or lockouts.
But the Byrd plan-the fixing BY
LAW of social, economic and legal
RESPONSIBILITY on the part of
BOTH labor and employers-is the
FUNDAMENTAL STEP toward the
establishment of industrial peace and
the ultimate welfare of the American
workingman.
