Birds in the 10th, bounced homer
over rightfield to defeat the Sox,
Sd,
Monday night the Birds evident
ly sore because the score Sunday
was too close for comfort, had
blood in their eyes and murder in
their bats. The game was merry

Sox were no trouble at all any
time during the evening. They
sent to the mound three pitchers
but failed to stop the Birds on
slaught. The score was 1914.
Tuesday night at Isaac Mems

NSOAALAA0CO 4AO4AA R0EC ~
senting the people, thus stepped in
on behalf of a large segment of the
people, our industrial workers, to
readjust the balance which for SO
many years was overweighted for
employers.
The Hartley bill, as we'll as many
provisions of the Senate bill, is to
check and reverse this process and
return to the employer the power
to curb the rights of workers, and
in more ways an more devious
ways than is apparent on the sur
face. To implement this power ii
gives the employer backing of the
courts and, to degree, of the Gov
ernment itself. Now, we learn, ii
is the Senate's intention ito make
its more moderate bill a more dras-
tic measure because of the over
Whelming House vote for the ad-
mittedly severe Hartley bill.
During the progress of labor
legislation in Congress there has
been much talk about the lack of
cooperation between congressional
leaders and President Truman.
The two, it is said, should try to
reach "a general agreement. But
the real truth is that the President
and congressional leaders are so far
apart-poles apart-that it is hard
to see how they could get together.
This is because of a difference in
fundamental philosophy.
This is the difference, on one
hand, between the philosophy of
the New Deal or progressive wing
of the Democratic Party, now
much weakened in Congress but
still having it's only available SYM
boil in President Truman in the
sphere of action, and the philoso-
ply of the business and industrial
managers of the economy. Busi-
nessmen have seized this time,
when they are freed of. Govern
ment restraints and are we'll heel
ed financially, to deliver their
long-planned blow at labor, deprive
it of it's protection and recover the
control they once had. It is not
necessary to rely upon surmises as
to their purposes, or privately ex-
pressed aims. Their public speeches
reveal the intent.
It shows a lack of statesman
ship and vision in the managers of
capitalism today. The Wagner
Act, among other original objec-
tives, was to strengthen labor so
that it could gain, by its own eff
forts, larger share of the national
income and thus help, by spread
ing purchasing power, to rebuild
the shattered economy of our last
great depression and thereafter
help maintain a balance. If we are
to have another depression, or even
recession, it is just as essential
that labor be strong enough to act
as brake. It won't, if anything
like the bills in House and Senate
become law.
And business and industry, as
well as labor, will be caught up in
the whirlwind.

ployer may outlaw and crush a
strike by hiring strikebreakers
even though the strike is caused by
his own misconduct. The employer
may even cooperate with antilabor
employers in order to destroy un-
ions and receive no penalty there
for. The employer may also sue
for treble damages and obtain in
functions after employees in one
department strike against a wage
cut in another department. The
employer may lock out and black
list office clerks if they join un-
ion. The employer may also in
stigate cri m i n proceedings
against individuals who exercise
the right to picket. The employer
may prevent the designation of a
bargaining agent for a period of
years. The employer may plant
spies in union ranks and the union
is powerless to expel them. The
employer may ignore union secur-
ity and even refuse to discuss it
with the union, and may, at his
discretion, crush strike or threat
of strike. In fact, the employer
is given the right to crush any
strike when collective bargaining
contract exists even if the strike is
caused by an issue not covered by
the contract. In substance the en-
ployer is given the power of a die
tator at the hends of the Govern
ment over the union.
I am fully aware that many un-
ions and union leaders have abused
the right to strike, however this
privilege of collective action is the
only means by which the American
working man and woman can pro-
tect themselves against sweat shops
and employer subsection. The mere
fact that mistakes have been made
in the past is no reason for us to
create laws which will bring about
the utter destruction of labor un-
ions.
I feel that this legislation will
create chaos in labor-management
relations and ultimately will bring
about a lowering of the standard
of living of the working people of
this country. It is most unfortu-
nate that the majority in this
House has seen fit to lump to-
gether all the matters that are con-
tanned herein. In order to obtain
the desirable features it is neces-
sary to vote for all of these very
harmful and destructive features.
I find that it is like eating an apple
which is half rotten in order to get
the good part, and in this case I
sincerely believe that the bad fea-
lures are so undesirable that it
makes the entire piece of legisla-
ton undesirable and Objectionable.
Therefore, must vote against it.
I hope that after this bill has been
considered by the Senate and the
conference committee that some of
these undesirable parts will be re-
moved so that it will lbe possible
for me to cast my vote for a tenn
porized labor bill on final enact
ment.
This Nation now faces strife in
industry which could lead to the
economic paralysis of the entire
country. We have a situation
wherein both employees and en-
ployers are subject to hardship,
and which, moreover makes the
public in general suffer its conse-
quences. This situation is obvious
ly contrary to our democratic
ideals, and I cannot vote for
measure so extreme in one direc-
