3. What they would result in

If the congressional hatchet-gang for
the NAM and its hackers has its way, it
will be hard times for the people of Amer
lea. Let's look into the reasons for this.
The features that all the anti-labor pro-
posals have in common is that they would
weaken and divide the unions, whether by
amending the Wagner Act, outlawing GER
tain strikes, or interfering with union Sc
curity and the rights of union members.
The net result of the enactment of such
proposals would be that the big reaction
airy employers would be given legal sup
port and heavy odds in their drive to re-
duce the workers share of the national in
come and increase their own.
Their increased success in resisting
labor's wage demands, for example, would

a. How they con be stopped

How can the labor movement beat back
big business attempt to shackle it?
There is no simple answer to this ques-
ton But there is simple answer to the
question of what is the first thing that
must be done.
There must be unity of action in the
labor movement to meet the common
threat! And there must be unity of labor
with all progressive community elements
in defense of labor's rights, which are the
concern of the entire community.
This unity to be worth anything, must
develop into more than mere top-level
statements by trade union leaders. This is
a necessary beginning, but it will take
mass participation of the members Of the
AFL, CIO and rail brotherhoods to make

intensity the wage-price squeeze and the
drive for greater productivity" (speed-
up).
The cycle of depression would thus be
speeded up, and the outlook for mass I'M
employment, breadlines, and Hoovervilles
would be sharper and closer.
It's not only the economic side of the
picture that's bleak. Most of the current
proposals are attacks on basic freedoms
of our people as well.
If any of the prospects noted above
seem exaggerated think back to what
happened at the beginning of the last de-
preston, when the labor movement was
not strong enough to resist industry's
drastic wage-cuts and speed-up.

2. The buckers Of the proposals

It's no great secret that the driving
force behind the current drive on labor is
an organization known as the National
Association of Manufacturers
This employer organization, whose
loudly professed devotion to what it calls
"free enterprise and "Americanism," has
never exhibited great concern for freedom
of competition for the smaller and more
independent manufacturers, or what this
newspaper considers Americanism.
It is run by tightly-knit group repre-
senting the handful of dominant financial
interests which control the greatest share
Of our nations economy. Its program has
oeen a program of monopoly-building and
labor smashing since its inception; only it's
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-02-01

serious dent in the intentions of react
ionaries in Congress, who will go as far
as they think they can get away with.
Few union leaders today rest comfort
ably in the illusion that President Truman
and his administration will protect labor
from its avowed enemies. 1t has already
been dispelled. But there is still certain
slowness In many sections of the labor
movement to give up the luxury of div
ision, factonalism, and cross purposes.
That this is a luxury that the labor
movement cannot afford has been demon
strated many times in history. The cur
rent onslaught of big business against
American workers is no exception to the
basic rule of the trade union movement
In union there is strength!
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-02-01

tactics have changed.
Political action" has always been one
of its chief activities. No one knows just
how many congressman and senators are
on the payroll of the NAM or its members,
but it would be no exaggeration to say that
majority of both houses is controlled by
this and other Big Business groups at
present.
Perhaps the clearest example of how
the NAM works in Congress is that Of
Rep. Francis Case, author of the notorious
Case bill, most comprehensive of the anti
labor proposals before Congress. Case, like
MANY others, was elected with the help of
a giant campaign fund furnished by NAM
members although his is an entirely agri-
cultural state.

!. What the unti-Iubor bills do

The labor" legislation introduced in
the 8Oth Congress is aimed at weakening
and dividing the labor movement, in a
variety of ways. These ways include the
following:
Abrogating the right to strike, at the
judgment Of the encouragement.
Legalizing anti-strike and anti-picketing
injunctions.
Establishing no-strike "cooling-off' per-
iods for the benefit of employers who do
not bargain in good faith.
Enforcing compulsory arbitration of GER
tain disputes.
Outlawing industry-wide agreements.
Outlawing the closed shop or any other

form of union security provision.
Preventing unions from engaging in poll
teal activity.
Making unions legally responsible for
actions of persons covered by contracts,
even when they are not union members or
are company agents.
Repeating the Wagner Act.
Depriving many groups of workers of
the right to join union.
Making unions subject to unfair labor
practice" charges by employers!
Restricting the rights of workers to col
lect retroactive damages for Wage-Hour
Act violations.

but most leaders failed to make
the grade.
Dealings were relatively slow and
trends a shade Uneven until the
final quarter hour when offer

and prices generally slipped. At
the close declines of fractions to
a point or more predominated. A
few ''thin" issues suffered wider
drops. Transfers of $50, 900 shares
compared with 1910, 900 on Fri
days slump.
Professionals continued to &C
count for the majority of trans
actions. The public, on the whole,
held to the sidelines. Conserva-
tism was accentuated by word the
president would address a joint
session of Congress Wednesday on
the Near East situation. Skep-
tics of business and taxes remain
ed bearlsh. Soaring commodity
prices aroused apprehension re-
garding the wage outlook and
possible repercussions on stocks.
