date to return this country 10 in
voluntary servitude Of the work
ing man." --.
In defense Of the right 10 strike,
which these bills would limit or
completely deny, Mr.. Mitchell de-
clared: "If It is the purpose Of the
trainers Of this Legislation to pro-
mote harmony between labor and
management, they should take into
consideration the fact that the ma
jority Of strikes which have oc-
CURED in this country since W.
Day came because wage earners,
faced with q cost Of living which
has risen better than 30 per cent
since 1899, were seeking 10 obtain
additional money with which 10
buy the necessities Of life, 10 pay
their rents, and TO establish some
small measure Of economic secur-
ity for their families"
"a labor organization" said Mr..
Mitchell, "must have some security
against the concentrated economic
power Of management. Il must
also have internal strength with
which TO discipline those who
would destroy IL from within. The
closed shop, the union shop, main
tenanee Of membership clauses,
and other accepted practices Of
unions are designed to provide
these things. Having tasted the
value Of them, the American work
ing man will never willingly give
them up, and any measure which
would force him 10 do 30 Ii q chal-
lenge to every bread-winner In the
nation to oppose with all Of his
strength the passage Of such
law.
"Under s. 800, employers and
employees are required to utilize
the procedure Of the act rather
than resorting to "other means"
to settle their disputes. A reading
Of the bill shows that its trainers
have successfully abrogated the
right to strike"
Particular criticism was leveled
by Mr.. Mitchell at s. $50. He said
it was "the final and climatic blow.
=. 1t opens the door for !ajunc-
tions, suits, and even Jail penal
ties against employees who wit
tingly or unwittingly fail TO fol-
low its devious requirements. For
il such employees exercise the
right to strike, and, in 60 doing
violate any section of It, they au-
tomatically lose the immunities
provided for under Sections 6 and
20 Of the Clayton Act and the bene-
fits Of the Norris-LaGuardiR Act
and are then subject to the penal
ties Of the Sherman Act"
Speaking against s. 1O5, Mr..
Mitchell pointed out that "by strik-
ing at a closed shop, the union
shop, maintenance Of membership,
and other benefits won by labor
through the years, the bill would
make immeasurably weaker the
unions which have struggled for
these gains" adding that an the
coal mining industry where the
colored employees have been fight
ing beside their white fellow work
ers for union benefits, since 1890,
this would be q deadly blow. It
would also adversely affect the
welfare Of the thousands Of col
ored persons in the automobile in
dustry, meat-paeking, and steel.
