The fantastic era Of unionized

without knowledge of "big-wig"
labor chieftains became a anation-

New Deal conservatives and
COP. leaders of the new Con-
greSs combined and urged that
the first order of business would
be a wholesale amendment to
the unpopular New Deal labor
legislative setup. This idea
of Congressional eradication
dropped on the nation like an
atom bomb. Washington be-
came a beehive of hysteria.
From the White House to the
Capitol, New Deal proponents
ran around in circles protesting
that labor would be sold down
the river If any attempt was
made to tinker or amend any
section of the original New Deal
labor law. After weeks of eau
tious consideration, a new meas.
ure was proposed and filed be-
fore a baffled Congress who
wanted the right answers to
questions before voting them up
or down,
The right answers were evi-
IDENTIFY submitted before both
houses. After a brief debate, a
new labor bill was passed over
whelmingly. White House ad-
visors and New Dealers, who to
the end stood pat on their pet
labor measure, became disgusted,
dismayed and fiabbergasted.
Twelve years of hoodwinking
workers had been suddenly
squelched. The nations elector-
ate was amazed that majority
opinion could win and restore
public confidence over an OBJ
stinate and well-trenched minor
ity.
Labor leaders Of the big unions
were stunned. Their uproaFious
era of hurting unwarranted
higher wage-scale threats at in
dustry had ended. They went
back to their desks at respective
headquarters to bide the time
with study that loopholes could
be found for waging new legis-
lative labor war.
To date not a crossing of a
ft" or dotting of an q" has been
made to change the measure.
Only flurries Of discomfort have
arisen from labor chieftsins,
whose voices apparently were
heard in barriers where they
were lifted.
Labor had its day to demon
strate ideals for improvement of
dues-paying workers. A one
sided complex seemed to be its
main goal for reaching obiec-
tives and advancement to a
common level upon which all the
people includinga workers could
agree that the body polite had
to be an important factor.
Labor's present unpopularity
is dramatic, yet has no down
ward trend of mistrust for pro-
