Now What Do We Do?

GO WE LOST. The picture is
~ just the same as ii was be-
fore our premature jubilation.
We don't like it, But sitting
down and bewailing our lot,
cyring betrayal and howl
ing about ''reactionaries"
isn't going to get us anywhere.
II just doesn't make sense,
Sitting on the sidelineS until
a crisis and then making a
show of our strength isn't the
way to get what we want.
What can we do now? NOT
sit still until just before an
other big election. NOT wait
until our particular pet aver
Sions are up for office. The
slogan which has helped the
labor movement grow into
the force it now is was two
fold 'Elect our friends and
defeat our enemies"
Notice two things about this
phrase. First, it places the
constructive act in the posi-
tion of prime Importance.
Second, it is plural - and it
does not specify only national
elections.

Steel union leaders are furi-
Gus that US. Steel, making
more profits than ever before,
had effrontery to argue that
mo sound reasons justify an
increase at this time"
Phil Murray, at Pittsburgh
press conference, said COM
pany had failed and refused"
to bargain in good faith.
Big Steel said mo" on
wages, mo" on pensions, mo"
on all but the flimsiest health
and welfare proposition-un-
der which workers would have
had to pay half the cost.
Same sticky attitude about
granting wage increases has
been maintained by auto and
electrical industries.
Meanwhile, CIO is unveil-
ing dramatic report by Robert
Nathan, a leading economist,
to point spotlight on present
economic problems.
Nathan, who created wide
discussion two years ago with
a similar report, warned back
in 1947 that n f "a tionary
trends, If not curbed, would
lead to recession. At that time
he urged wage increases, to be
paid out of high profits and
without increase in prices.
In addition to general eco
nomic study, Nathan also pre-
pared a special study for the
steel industry. It's being pre-
sented at open meeting of
United Steelworkers' wage
policy meeting in Pittsburgh.
Ever since the death of FDR
Commies in the US. have had
what they considered a prize
clincher to any argument, If
you disagreed with them, they
shouted, you are not follow
ing the noble policies of FDR."
Last week, Commies in the
us, as so often in the past,
were sold down the river by
Russia's offic a l historians.
Those historians, meeting to
castigate % colleagues for
bourgeois" and "cosmopoli-
tanism" errors, denounced one
Prof. Zubok, who, they said
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1949-07-15

had "distortedly interpreted
Roosevelts so-calle d New
Deal"
Further, Zubok was accused
of having entirely ignored
the fact that all of Roosevelt's
efforts to solve A m er i C n
problems were done Cd under
the pressure of the masses and
(2) at the same time Roose-
welt was safeguarding the in
terests of monopoliStic capi-
tai"
If that means a change in
party line, it won't be a
strange line for the Commies
in the US. In 1910, they were
screaming "war-monger" at
FDR and Philip Murray and
others for backing aid to the
Allies.
The % historians-or most
of them-did a Shostakovitch
and repented loudly of their
sins.
Much of criticism of admin
istration of Taft-Hartley goes
to Robert Denham, general
counsel of the Labor Board
but that doesn't mean NLRB
itself isn't doing plenty of
things to merit sharp criticism
from unions.
For instance, NLRB recent
ly voted in a case involving
AFL teamsters in midwest
city to give employer an al
most air-tight escape hatch
from laws provisions while
his stooges carry out illegal
pressure campaign.
Employer posted a notice"
saying that only he could
voice company policy on un-
ion matters. Then his super
viSors and foreman spread big
campaign of fear and threats
as to what would happen if
union won election-but SUI
perviSors were speaking with
out authorization
That n-around didn't fool
trial examiner, who said COM
pany was clearly responsible
- it hadn't reprimanded or
contradicted any of supervis-
ors.
But NLRB, ignoring facts of
life, overruled trial examiner,
and gave the boss clean bill of
health on that score.

several instances, there is
more than local Importance.
There's the Senatorial race
in New York State for the
seat resigned by Robert f.

York, there's the key fight for
New York City's mayoralty.
Across the river in New Jer-
sey. they'll be choosing a gov
