HOBBS BILL VICIOUS ATTACK
ON DEMOCRACY

President Truman's signing of the Hobbs
bill fills the workers with the deepest regret.
And that is putting it mildly.
President Truman maintains that ne 1alled
to veto the vicious measure after the assur-
ance of the Attorney General that labors
rights are safe under its provisions.
It is unfortunate that neither the President
nor the Attorney General appear to have
taken time to look back into history. They
might have called upon the experience OF the
late. revered Samuel Gompers to testify. That
would have reminded them that members OF
Congress stood on the floor of the House and
Senate when the Sherman Anti Trust Act was
passed and gave assurance that this law
would never be used against trade unions and
it was not intended for any such purpose.
Samuel Gompers lived to see the day when
these promises were betrayed and the Sher-
man Antitrust law was used against trade
unions.
The broad wording of the Hobbs act dis
closes that it was the intention OF the Sena-
tors and Congressman to forsake their func-
ton of making the law and permitting every
Judge who will interpret the Hobbs law to, in
reality, write a law to suit his own whim.
The Hobbs law is not only a vicious attack
on trade unions, but also a bitter attack on
democracy itself. When legislators abandon
the making of law and turn it over to judges
then democracy has ceased to function.
Experience of the late, great Samuel Com
pers is the evidence that regardless of the
pledges of legislators that laws will not be
used against labor, too often no consideration
whatever is given to these pledges by the
courts.-Minneaplis Labor Review.

UNIONS PROTECT LIBERTY OF
INDIVIDUALS

There is nothing magic about trade unions.
They are not overnight entries and they are
not rapidly built. But they are built to en-
dure. and the very slowness, sometimes al
most plodding of their advance strengthens
and prepares them to stand whatever shocks
they may suffer.
They do not always meet situations IN a
glamorous way or in a manner that brings
applause. But through the years they have
proven their dependability. There may be
movements more fascinating. There may be
organizations that make more golden prom
Uses. but democracy at its best has no protec-
tor and defender so strong and so powerful
and so to be depended upon as the trade
union.
Would be dictators appreciate that better
than do some working people. That is why
they insist as the first step toward dictator
ship and otalitarianism that the trade uni
ons in the land they seek to turn to a dicta-
torship. shall be wiped out.
Political action is a necessary and a potent
weapon, but political power is but the reflec-
ton of the economic power of the workers
that is lodged in trade unions, and political
power is probably best employed when pro-
tecting the rights of workers to organize, Tor
Montana labor news., 1946-07-18

through complete organization OF the work
ers not only may the toiler gain his due put
in doing so he retains his individual liberty
And what shall it gain a man If he has every
human want and desire satisfied and loses MS
individual liberty?
There are times and there are situations
that NAV demand the modifying OF personal
liberties. but they are only emergencies.
There is nothing that can be offered that
could pay a worker for the loss OF his indi-
vidual liberty. Because of the double protec-
tion the trade union gives, to the collective
rights of the workers, and the individual
rights of the members, it cannot be replaced
and stands out as the brightest jewel IN the
diadem of the idealism Of human endeavor
for peace and security and brotherhood.
