Green Says Labor Legislation Would Destroy Unions

WASHINGTON, (R)-AFL pres ident William Green declared to- day that the "real purpose" behind most labor laws proposed in the new Congress was to destroy un- ions and wreck collective bargain ing"
 He contended in a statement prepared for the House labor com mittee that none of the legislation deals with "the causes of industri- al unrest that has swept the coun- try since V-J day" The main cause Green insisted, was imitation.
 "The record, which no one can dispute" the 72-year-old leader of the American Federation of Labor said, shows that during the most critical period following the term ination of hostilities, 86 out of ev- cry 100 workers who engaged in work stoppage did so only because they were caught in the economic wise of rising prices and declining postwar income.
 "These postwar strikes did rot take place because of a breakdown of collective bargaining. They did not occur because of the failure of unions to carry out the peaceful purposes and procedures to which labor is dedicated.
 "The record shows that one basic cause of that unrest was in- flation. The other major cause was government intervention into la bor-management relations. Not one of these bills relates in any manner to the problem of imitation and all of them increase, rathe-- than remove, government inter vention."
 AS he did before the Senate la bor committee last week, Green singled out for opposition bills

 Bremen said Toby, a first-grade pupil in the city school, was out side the building when the fire was discovered, but ran into the basement apartment of h:s par ents, MT. and Mrs. Bud Malone, in the fatal attempt to save his in valid grandfather.

Legislature
 Merry-Co-Round; From The Gallery
By Mildred Hermannl


 The House has laid on the table it's own bill to create the office of administrator general, but has yet to consider the Senate bill cover ing the same question.
 Also laid on the table was the MCCutcheon bill which sought to tighten the regulations relative to the sale and enforcement of liquor laws.
 Two bills of interest to vetearns passed yesterday. One of these pro- videS for preferential employment of veterans of any war in public employment, and the other seeks to provide better housing facili- t.cS for veterans attending institu- tions of learning in Alaska.
 The bill to replace the commits siOner of education on the board of administration with the labor com missioner also passed the House yesterday
 Carl Anderson created a lot of fun in the House yesterday when he amended the McCutCheon me morial faCetiously introduced ask ing that the capital be moved to Palmer to provide for its being moved to Nome instead. The House passed the amendment but imme- diately tabled the entire measure.
 Interesting lineup in voting seen on the bill for administrator general office. All Fairbanks men, Carl Anderson and Laws voting against the tabling of the measure. They were supported by Hoopes ana Egan. Barnett and Newell were the only Democrats to vote for the measure, as did Republi- cans Vukovich and author Gill Lining up to table the measure were all other Democrats and First %AS AoAOli SUPpOL lC1 by Snider of the Third Division.
 The vote was 13 to II. Unlikely it can be called from the table, but a switch in two votes could put the Senate bill across.
 Jones has introduced a bill to amend the banking bill, and Munz and Coffey jointly have introduced bill to provide for the creation of an aeronautics commission and promote the development and reg ulation of aeronautics in the Ter ritory.
 The Ed Anderson memorial ask ing for the Territorial department of agriculture to make survey of agricultural possibilities of the Second Division has passed the House.
 The Almquist pension bill passed the House this moning, hotly con- tested by members who opposed making it applicable to aliens as well as citizens.
 No important revenue bills as yet.

WASHINGTON - No Nation
of the past has ever been con-
fronted with such a responsible
ity as history has now imposed
upon this republic-the respon-
sibility of bringing the whole
world out of the dark zone Of
war into the sunlight of peace.
The United States can do the
job. But even the United States,
richer and stronger than any
other nation, cannot do the job
on the old system of business
as usual, politics as usual,
Wherry Tabor -and Halleck as
usual. We are in the zone of war.
There is no one to rescue us
from the consequences of folly.
We must act accordingly. That
is the simplest summary of the
conclusions derived from three
months of observing the world
at it's storm center, in western
Europe.
The challenge to this country
must stir the emotions of any
American who has pride and
confidence in America. The con-
clusions above, however, have in

The audiences threw questions at the

ed his talk with this counsel:
"There may still be individual points in
this law you personally disagree with. But
don't condemn the entire law when indi-
vidual points can and may be changed"
Mr.. Johnson's explanation must have de-

whole matter deserves to be copied. Only
calm and detailed discussions can quiet the

WASHINGTON, - The Moral
Re-Armament idea, that all the
worlds troubles would vanish if
everybody would just start low
ing everybody else, has some
alarming possibilities.
Think what it would be like If
this love business caught on in
Congress, where at least 16 OF
the statesmen have signed up as
sponsors of the lately revived
movement"
Wouldn't you be surprised to
pick up your paper today and
read that Speaker Joe Martin
and Republican Chairman Bra
zilla Carroll Reece had been in
vited over to the White House to
sing carols with Margaret, while
the President accompanied them
on the piano.
Or think what your reaction
would be if that big-hearted and
generous man, Chairman John
Taber of the House Appropria-
tions Committee, should an
nounce over the radio that-fill-
ed with remorse and pity over
the hunger and starvation OF
Europe's millions of war VIC
times, he was going to raise ex-
penditures for stop-gap aid. In
stead of cutting the $597 million
to $54O million, he would up it
to $640 million just to show how
he loves his fellow man. Could
you stand shock like that?
Would you be able to take a
statement from the universally
admired friend of labor, Sen.
Robert A. Taft of Ohio, announc-
ing that he was going to cam
paign for the presidency on a
platform of repeating the Taft
Hartley Act and restoring the
Wagner Act?
Fancy how you would feel if

"That anti-inflation bill which
we put over just before going

going to turn over new leaf
and pass a bill that will really
cut prices and hold down rents.

them nothing of emotion. Their
truth can, on the contrary, be
demonstrated by cold logic.
We are in the zone of war be-
cause the Soviet Union has
adopted a policy of territorial
aggrandizement and political
and economic warfare against
the western world. The Soviet
Union can only be brought to
terms by the successful compile
ton of two great strategic oper-
ations, politically complex.
economically costly and un-
avoidable risky-an operation to
rehabilitate and strengthen
western Europe: and a holding
operation, to defend the long
border between the Soviet and
Western worlds, which stretches
from the Baltic to the China Sea.
We are still officially at peace,
yet defeat in either of these
operations will be the equivalent
of a gigantic military disaster.
Success will depend directly
upon American energy. Ameri-
can resources, and American
leadership. In short, this coun-
try now has on it's hands a job
