Continued from rage
there is an Anglo-Saxon phrase
that means the same thing.)
have never denied that Mr..
Murray, Mr.. Gosser and / hold
the same opinion that working
people have an inherent human
right to organize and bargain
collectively with their employ
ers. Also, that it is the duty and
responsibility of government to
guarantee and protect the free
exercise of that right. My dear
sir, | may be an unregenerate
so-and-so, unworthy of salvation
because of that concurrence of
opinion, but / still cannot find
anything reprehensible in 1T.
Many other people evidently
hold the same opinion or at
least they expressed such an
opinion on November 2, 1948.
Mr.. Gosser and | came up to-
gether in the labor movement.
Neither of us met Mr.. Murray
until some time after our start.
However, being motivated by
that same opinion, it was only
natural that we should gravitate
towards each other and towards
others of like mind. How did
you arrive at the editorship of
a Republican newspaper, Mr..
Editor? Was it because you
danced on the end of a string or
because your opinions coincided
with those of the owners of the
paper?
l am not going to rehash all
the arguments for and against
seizue and injunction in this,
article because it would only be
repetition. However. l will say
this that long before Mr.. Editor
advised me to study up on the
Supreme Court decision l had
done just that. 1t is my job
to do so. The funny thing is ]
not only studied the Lewis case
but also the Bay Ridge case and
a few others.

TinneFor Plain Talk
By TOM BURKE

Do you know why I studied
the Bay Ridge case decision, Mr..
Editor? Well, the reason is this.
Employers have a bill before
Congress known as H. R. 858 to
eliminate overtime on over
time" payments. This bill is to
correct supposed evils in the
law found out in the Bay Ridge
decision. Why is a Supreme
Court decision on a law SO
scared that the law cannot be
changed in one case? But in an
other case a great hue and cry
goes up for changing the law
because the Supreme Courts
decision interpreting the law
was not to the liking of one of
the litigants.
Strange as it may seem to
you, Mr.. Editor, l agreed upon
and voted for H. R. $50. In
fact, l helped write it in the
form in which it was passed by
the House. However, / disagree
with the Senate amendments to
it because / believe it is a bad
precedent to void court decis-
ions by retroactive law.
And speaking of precedents,
Mr.. Editor, don't you think your
people are building up a bank
of precedent that may well be-
come Frankenstein monster In
the future? / am becoming a
little weary of trying to save
you from yourselves. If Taft
Hartley philosophy, for instance,
becomes rooted in law, and it
is on its way, strongly pro-
labor Congress by changing a
few words here and there can
make you felt about the Wagner
Act look like a pink tea party
in comparison. Well thinking
labor people do not want that
and are not asking for it, but
you are. You and your people
are writing a tune now that you
will want to dance to in the
future.

Good Work, But Not Enough

OK, AND SO you gave a buck to PAC
" and you pushed doorbells and you
made political speches-and you read that
labor won victory at the polls last Nov. z.
You were positive that the Taft-Hart-
lev Act would be kicked into the ashcan
and that a large portion of the Truman
Fair Deal program would be enacted.
You started getting disgusted when
weeks and then a couple of months passed
without Congress enacting any domestic
legislation in which you were vitality
interested.
TIL came up in the House and you
wired or telegraphed your Congressman,
asking him to vote for the Lesinski Bill.
Then came the shock! By the very skin
of their teeth the opponents of TIL block
ed enactment of the Wood bill.
Something's wrong" you said-and
perhaps you began wondering whether
political action was worthwhile e and
whether labor actually had won at the
polls in November.
The TIL repeal move began rolling in
the Senate-and then came another shock
for those who believed the Thomas Bill
might 60 through the upper house without
crippling amepdments.
BY two-vote m ar n, the Lucas
amendment, which would have removed
the injunction feature from TIL was de-
feated Later the Taft amendments were
adopted.
Labor had been kicked in the seat of
the pants-and hard!
All of which makes this good time
to try to assess the Congressional situa-
tion for what it's really worth.
Let's begin by pointing out that the
nations industrial and business interests
fought and campaigned vigorously for IL
years before they were able to bring about
defeat of the Wagner Act and enactment
of TIL.
The Taft-Hartley Act has now been on
the books two years. And 1t was put there
because business and industry conducted
= vigorous "no-let-up" political action
campaign.
Labor and other liberal forces did a
good political job last year. They halted
what was regarded as a strong trend
toward conservatism and reaction. They
played the major role in electing the
President on good platform.
But they didn't 60 quite far enough
TO assure easy enactment of their program
by Congress.
The scales are fairly evenly balanced
on Capitol Hill. A handful more pro-labor
votes in the House and few more In the
Senate would completely change the out
look for considerable legislation in which
the unions are interested.
The easy thing for labor and other
liberal forces to do would be to moan that
we've ben sold down the river" and make
accusations that Congress hasn't carried
out the mandate given by the voters at
the polls last November.
But that wouldn't help provide the
type OF Congress we think we ought to
have-unless we're willing to combine our
complaints with lot of hard work.
So-regardless of what happens on
Capitol Hill during the remainder of this
Congressional session-we have Job cut
out for us.
It's political action of the same type
engaged in last year, but more of it.
lot more of it!
