Murray Rejects
Hoffman Summons

Washington (LPA)-CIO Presi-
dent Philip Murray last week toss
ed the illegal summons which Rep.
I-Clare Hoffman Or, Mich.) sent him
right back into the labor hater's
face. The United Steelworkers Of
America chief told Hoffman that
he's no subcommittee" and refus-
ed to appear before him.
Relying solely upon a letter
from Rep. Fred Hartley Or, ND,
chairman of the 80th Congress- de-
funct Labor Committee, Hoffman
has constituted himself a one-nan
subcommittee to investigate strike
violence at Kalamazoo, Mich. steel
plants.
Rep. John Lesinski Cd, Mich),
one of the people who advised
Murray that he need not honor
Hoffman's subpoena, declared that
Hoffman "has no more authority
than a rabbit to make his investi-
CATION" Slated to succeed Hartley
as House Labor Committee chair
man, Lesinski added that when the
new Congress meets he'll conduct
an impartial investigation of the
Kalamazoo dispute.
Last week three local steelwork-
ers' leaders walked out on Hoff-
mans inquisition, saying "we are
not interested in any investigation
that is being held for the benefit
of newspaper headlines and the
NAM" Even Michigan's attorney
general, whom Hoffman chided for
not prosecuting labor unions with
fanatical enough zeal, told the
sour Congressman Il don't play to
the press as you do"
CIO lawyers also pointed out
that only the Un-American Activit-
les Committee has been given
blanket authority to subpoena wit
nesses. Like Lesinski, they told
President Murray that he needn't
waste his time with Hoffman.
Hoffman was sore when Murray
didn't appear. "I'm referring the
matter to the Justice Dept" he
said. But when asked what the At
torney General is likely to do about
it Hoffman had to reply, "Noth-
ing" He admitted that he couldn't
cite the CIO chief for contempt.

The pro- Wallace CIO IUC in NY
was reduced to shell when the

withdrew. Ruling on an appeal
of CIO President Murray's indict-
ment, the Supreme Court handed
down niggardly decision. 1t said
Murray and CIO News had a right
to express political opinions, but
ducked the constitutional challenge
to the TIL political expenditures
ban. AFL int'l affairs director
Frank Fenton emerged as the lead
er of the fight Of democratic unions

tion against a similar request from

BY WILLIAM c. GAUSMANN

Organized labor in America will
look back upon 1913 as a success
full year-despite the fact that
most of the year saw the unions
occupied in a defensive battle. La
Dor had to defend itself against the
attempts of reactionary employers
and politicians to wipe out the
gains of the New Deal era.
Labor's enemies had effective
weapons: the Taft Hartley law, and
a reactionary Congress which re-
fused to curb initiation or to enact
any progressive social or economic
legislation. But the workers had
weapons too-their union, which
gained membership, and in most
industries actually increased their
strength. And they had the ballot.
In November labor passed from
the defensive to the offensive. 1t
used the free electoral procedures
of democracy to defeat the Taft
Hartleyites' bid for four years of
complete mastery of the govern
ment. Labor emerged from its
year on the defensive with its
basic organizations-the unions
intact, and with its political COM
mittees more solidly organized, and
more powerful than at any pre-
vious time in US history.
Much of labor's new strength is
due to unorganized segments of
the American population coming to
realize that their interests are the
same as those of unionized work
ers.
Thruout the year American la
Dor was concerned as never before
with problems of foreign policy
Union men know now that peace
can't be had just for the asking
Most important intervention of the
unions in international policy was
their support of the Marshall plan
for European recovery. All but the
increasingly insignificant Commun-
ist-led fraction of the labor move
ment recognized the Marshall plan
as a measure deserving labor's
cooperation.
Labor faces 1949 with hope
hope that the administration it did
so much to elect will succeed in
using the power of government to
supplement the economic activities
of the unions in the never ending
struggle to achieve a better stand

of social justice for the American
