JUGGERNAUT. AMERICAN
LABOR IN ACTION
BY wellington Roe. (Lippin-
cott;; $4)
Reviewed by
JAMES Y. NEWTON.
The author traces the develop
ment of the labor movement in this
country from its inception, takes a
long look at organized labor today
and concludes that things are in a
sorry state indeed. The reason, &C.
cording to Mr.. Roe: The unions, or
nearly all of them. are run by die
ltator-leaders who are concerned only
with seeing to it that membership
dues continue to pour in and their
tight control over the organizations
are perpetuated.
Union members, he says, are
serfs under the complete domination
of handful of leaders who seek
only to exploit them. Freeing the
members from their dominance is
impe1 ative, Mr.. Roe adds, unless
the juggernaut which organized
labor has become is permitted to
crush the life from not only the
trade unions themselves, but also
from the democratic system whence
they have come"
The writer's suggestions for free
ing unions and members from the
grip of the "autocrats" who rule
them involve the enactment of still
further Government controls over
labor. He would provide for Fed
eral charters for unions before they
could do business. Labor courts
would be set up to adjudicate dis
putes arising from operation OF
unions under the strict charter pro-
visions.
Hard Slugging.
II in Mr.. Roe's opinion there is a
union of Importance that Is run
democratically then he fails to men
! ton it.
He slugs the AFL and Railroad
Brotherhoods especially hard, find
ing virtually nothing favorable to
say about any of their unions. While
the CIO unions once were demo-
cratically operated, Mr.. Roe says
they have now gone to seed and he
sees about as many autocrats there
as in the old-line AFL. Record Of
the rail unions, he adds, is one of
"futility"
Mr.. Roe describes John L. Lewis
as the outstanding labor figure and
a large part of the book is given over
to him. In the opinion of the
writer, Samuel Gompers sold out
labor, while William Green does
nothing. He is easy on Philip Muir
ray and the late Sidney Hillman.
The author has worked on many
newspapers, contributed to many
popular magazines and union pub
lications. From 1914 to 1916 he was
special assistant to A. F. Whitney,
head Of the Brotherhood Of Railroad
Trainmen. He failed of election to
Congress from New York in 1910,
cunning on the American Labor
Farty ticket. Now he is described as
"chairman-president of an inde-
pendent union of railway workers
operating on an industrial basis"
