Dear Mr.. Boykin:

Having Just read your message
TO DR.. Bunche in the Detroit Jew
ish News of Dec, 10. feel il is in
order TO congratulate you on your
very fine democratic expression.
Ii was indeed a noble gesture,
and in my opinion il vii most
certainly bind more closely the
friendship and understanding be-
tween our people.
would like to have YOU know,
that l TOO am very proud OF Dr.
BVnche, as a native Detrolter and
fellow American. Being men,
Der Of a minority group myself,
l can easily understand the hard
ship and struggle DR.. Bunche had
to withstand to achieve his posi-
ton. His success merely proves
our mutual conviction that abih-
ty and accomplishment are not
confined TO any particular race
My hopes are with yours, that
Dir. Bunche goes on. TO make OF
his career a shining example to
all the world and that our faith
in him will forever be justified.
In closing. may | add that IT
was heartwarming 10 our people,
at this particular time to become
aware through your message how
thoroughly you understand the
true situation in Israel.
III al any time YOU choose TO
call upon me, / will consider IT
a privilege TO assist in any pro-
ject you undertake towards the
advancement of our community.

If that paragraph is lifted
out OF context, the authors of
the Taft Hartley Act can claim
as indeed they do claim, that
the new law has maintained in
full force the fundamental
right to organize and bargain
collectively which the Wagner
Act defined and defended. But
of course, If we are TO arrive
at IFS true meaning. the para
graph cannot be considered in
isolation; and as soon as il is
read in context, IL will be seen
that the guarantee of the rights
OF free association and Collec-
tive bargaining Is not so sweep
ing in the Taft Hartley Act
as IL was in the Wagner Act.
Immediately preceding this
paragraph in the Taft Hartley
Act is another paragraph,
which does not occur in the
Wagner Act, and which GER
tainly modifies the meaning of
what follows. Here is the
text:
Experience mas further de-
monstrated that certain prac-
tees by some labor organiza-
tons, their officers. and mem
bers have the intent or the
necessary effect OF burdcninp
OF obstructing commerce by
preventing the free flow of
goods in such commerce thru
strikes and other forms of in
dustrial unrest or through con
certed activities which impair
the interest OF the public IN
the free flow Of such CONNER.
&c. The elimination OF such
practices IS a necessary condi-
ton to the assurance Of the
rights herein guaranteed
fuflher considerations OF
Recent Labor Legislation to be
continued.

Though this provision of the
law refers explicitly TO wages

IL has moral overtones which

law is that wages are too low

too low not merely for the

for the workers individual
