One point that labor must get to the public is

These organizations through their ads and spokesmen

Unions Becoming Much Too Strong

Many of the persons who advocated voted for the
Taft Hartley Act and other antiunion legislation will tell
you their action resulted from their feeling that the unions
becoming much too strong"
Just ask them "To strong for what?" and watch them
squm.
They becoming too strong for the comfort of en-
poyers who believed employees should have nothing to
about the conditions under which they work and live.
They becoming too strong for the comfort of the
monoposts the busness-bossed politicians the Openshop
industries the preachers of property
rights.
They posing dangerous threat-but not to the
welfare of the nation The threat to those who shouted
about preserving democracy but gave only lip service
and to those who got the cockeed idea that about 80
cent of the fruits of capitalism should go to those to whom
the newspapers refer as Capitalists"
The very nautre of the Taft Hartley Act and other
antlabor gives the lie to the ofrepeaed state
mens of sponsors that they had desire to weaken de-
stroy trade unions
Among the most avid hackers of the measures
who have tried almost every scheme under the to
bust the unions with which they dealt
Well where do go from here?
Toward in which trade unionsm is smased in the
courts and the legislative chambers?
Toward period in which labor takes its rghtfu place in
the and speaks with much force management?
That will depend largely what happens at the polls
this year and in the years to come.

toward trade unonsm and their sponsorship of antabor

Arkansas few years ago and began preaching Freedom
