a good many voters in both the
Republican and Democratic parties
are waking up to the fact that they
are being swindled. They are send
ing supposed liberals to Congress
only to see them taken in by bus
mess lobbyists once they get to
Washington.
We think that any Senator or
Congressman who repeatedly votes
against labor. who supports those
causes which will swell the profits
OF the few at the expense OF the
plain people is earning for himself
the label Of reactionary.
Some honest men in the Republi-
can party are beginning to face up
TO the fact that they no longer can
follow blindly the reactlonary pol
icies OF the Republican leaders III
This Congress, the same leaders who
led their party to such disastrous
defeat last year.
Many honest Southerners in the
Democratic party have already seer
through the short-sighted leader
ship Of Senator Byrd Of Virginia
who would lead them all into camr
with the Northern reactionaries.
Take a Democrat like Senator
Holland of Florida, Tor example
Senator Holland calls himself a
liberal. but he sides with the re-
dictionaries III many issucs-mos
recently in the attempt to weaker
the rem control law.
Down i'll Florida there was some
doubt about reports that Holland
was joining up with the Northern
reactionaries. The Florida State
Council of Machinists telegraphet
Holland urging that he vote fol
repeal OF the Taft Hartley Act. The
Florida Senator replied by stating
Il expect to support several amend
ments OF the Taft-Hartley Act re-
tanning, however. its major objec-
tives."
That is just what Senator Taft
and the other reactionaries i'll Con.
gress are saying in the same
words.
The vote on Taft-Hartley repeal
more than any other, is going t,
show the true quality of the Sen
ators and Congressman whom thu
people have elected.

What Is the Matter
With the TIL Act?

In ten simple answers that any
Nmcricau citizen can understand
Representative George G. Sadowsk
OF Michigan explained to his icl
low members in the House OF Rep
rcscntafivcs on April 9TH. why tn
Iafi Hartley Act must 60. TIL,
ten reasons
II Will give ten examples d way,
IN which the Tait-IIartlcy Act i.
Headed against uulons--tcn rea-
sons why j, is Unfair, unjust, and
etil Law that outrapes the american
sense ~ lair play.
First \n employer u unlaw-
tul sympathetic strike must be
given priority treatment, regardless
.oi the number oi union Unfair labor
practice charges on the docket.
In, a union charge, no matter
how urgent or important, must await
It's turn IN the tediou, processes
81 the Iait-flartley Board,
second Ii union member, strike
during the term of the contract Or
before the expiration Of a 90 day
notice, IN order To change the con-
ditions al the contract, they may
be fired summarily without right to
reinstatement.
But ii the employer locks out the
union members Tor the samc purpose
or unilaterally breaches the contract
he may be charged with all unfair
labor practicc-and much, much la
ter be told not 10 do it again.
Third Ii the NLRB cntertains
a charge by an employer Of unlaw-
Jul sympathetic strike the Board
must seek an injunction.
Put in no kind Of Unfair labor
practice charge BY a union is the
Nl.RB required TO seek an in
junction.
Fourth Ii the unisi participates
IN sympathetic strikes or b~oycotts
which are unfair labor practices
the employer also may sue the union
Tor damages.
But there is no unfair labor
practice on the part OF the EN-
ployer which also entities the union
TO u Tor damages.
Fifth Ii, during a strike Tor a
n,W contract, the employer hires
,cabs and petitions ior An NLRB
ccrtiiication election striker, are
not allowed 10 vote.
But all scabs can vote,
Sixth In every grievance, the
employer has the right to press his
Interpretation OF the contract.
But in grievances that may be
taken up BY individuals, the union
has no say as TO what the con-
tract means.
Seventh Unions must lille full
financial data in order 10 utilize
the NLRB.
But employers need file no fin
ancial data in order to utilize the
Board.
"Eigth. Union officers must re-
veal political beliefs and swear to
political afiidavits before their un-
ions a utilize the Board.
But employers may keep their
political affiliations and opinions
secret and still retain full access
to the NLRB.
