Behind The
Scenes In
Politics
BY
Clayton
Rusch
Toledo
CIO

Once again the kept press
and the reactionary radio COM
mentators are using John L.
Lewis and the United Mine
Workers as an excuse to attack
the labor movement.
The public is being told that
we need still more stringent
laws and good old Fred Hart
ley is trying to invalidate the
Clayton Act which exempts
labor unions from the restrlc-
tions imposed by the Sherman
Antitrust laws.
It is obvious, of course, that
labor unions are not profit
CORPORATIONS and therefore
were not meant to be affected
by antitrust laws. Hartley and
his ilk however, do not require
a good reason to attack labor,
any excuse will suffice.
Lest l give the impression
that the miners should be
blamed for precipatating this
situation, l wish to point out
that coal miners work very
hard at a hazardous occupa-
ton and do not enjoy an un-
usually high standard of living
compared with workers In
other industries.
HUE AND CRY
The hue and cry is to the
effect that Lewis and the Mine
Workers should put the public
welfare ahead of their own
interests. The demand is to en-
force the Taft Hartley Act by
obtaining an injunction and in
the words of the Toledo Times,
"get the miners back in the
pits"
l am not writing this par
ticular article to establish the
fact that the trainers of the
United States Constitution pro-
vided certain guarantees to the
citizens which assure the in
validation of those portions OF
the Taft-Hartley Act which
limit freedom of speech and
press and provide for enforced
labor.
The first amendment to the
Constitution guarantees free
dom of speech and press while
the 18th prohibits involuntary
servitude.
The point / wish to stress
in this article is that we ap-
parently have two sets OF
standards. One to aply to busi-
ness and industry and one to
apply to unions.
STANDARDS
Unions are expected to put
the public welfare ahead OF
their own gain. Big business
is not expected to do this.
Unions actually do express
concern for the public welfare.
The four rules which guide a
strike are:
y Conditions must be in
tolerable.
p Other means of settling
the dispute must be exhaust
ed.
81 The good which may
come to the strikers must be
great enough to offset the
harm which might accrue to
others.
A. The strike must have
some chance of success.
Unions only strike as a last
resort, while big business has
never shown any concern
over the welfare of the public.
When industry finds it to
its interests to lay workers
off, it does so. Big business is
not expected to operate ex-
cept when profits can be
made.
Merchants and manufactur-
ers exercise their right to
hold their products off the
market unless they are salts
fled with the price.
Labor has the same right
to hold its product off the
market unless satisfied with
the price.
Those who attack labor the
loudest are completely silent
about the utter disregard big
business has always shown
for the public welfare.
The only way to make the
habit of abusing labor unpop-
ular is for the workers to gel
out and vote. Only by so do.
ing can the situation be
changed.

him, apparently still don't know
my philosophy; they seem to
think l hate to toll, that I don't
like to till the soil or harvest
crops and feed the stock. Of
course, that's all just poppycock.
I don't mind work and sweat a
bit if there is some return in it,
but why should I work just for
fun or when the rush jobs all are
done?
When my neighbours got his
work all through, he looks for
something else to do; because of
some peculiar quirk, he actually
invents some work he wouldn't
really have to do, just to use up
a day or two. But I, upon the
other hand, will rush through jobs
to beat the band so I'll have time
to catch some fish or anything
that I might wish. My neighbor
does no more than me except I'M
necessary things, you see, and if
he rates a prize for that then /
will gladly eat your hat. I won't
admit that I'm lazy, I think that
I'm just smart, by gee.
