Two important people clearly
understand this and are build
ing their plans accordingly. One
is Gov. Stevenson; the other
Senator Taft. ..
The Democratic candidate is
reaching for status as an inde-
pendent individualist, a charac-
ter who can capture the imagi-
nation Of the American people.
At the same time, amid all his
wit and real show of courage,
he is reaching out cannily for
the voting blocs on which
Franklin Roosevelt built four
terms.
If Gov. Stevenson can emerge
a popular hero with a real fol-
lowing, he will have the very best
weapon with which to COW Con-
gress. The legislators have been
eating fed meat for a good many
years now and they will not sub
due easily. Only President who
can astutely reach over their
heads to the people will have a
real chance against a conserva-
tive coalition of the Truman-era
model.
1t is true that Mr.. Truman
won famous victory and failed
with Congress. There were many
reasons why, including his own
lack Of creative ideas and the
mediocrity with which he stated
the executive branch. Republi-
cans, too, were always sure that

Stevenson Swallowed CIOLine
Inner Meanings of Labor Day Speech Show Governor Has Gone
To the Left Labor and the Union Leaders Are Delighted

He would restore the conditions
from which the Taft-Hartley
Law emancipated the American
workingman. He would give
America a real slave labor law"
Now. maybe Gov. Stevenson
himself didn't intend to imply
any of these things, but whoever
prepares the data for his
speeches certainly gave him the
CIO line and he swallowed it.
Here are some of the mislead-
ing statements in the Stevenson
speech. which was far more
jumbled than it appeared on
surface:
First, Gov. Stevenson says
the Taft-Hartley Act revived
the labor injunction" He op-
poses the use of the injunction
to stop, unfair labor practices"
committed by unions. He would
retain court injunctions only
as a means Of stopping employ
ers from committing unfair
labor practices"
Second, the Governor says, 1T
is only common sense to ac-
knowledge that we must forbid
such practices as jurisdictional
strikes and strikes or boycotts
attempting to force an employer
to deal with one union when an
other has been certified as the
representative of his employees"
And how would the Govern
ment enforce this without get
ting from the courts an injunc-
ton against a union that vio-
lated the law? Surely it is too
sweeping statement to say that
a new labor-management law
can be written without the use
Of the injunction process as a
means OF enforcement against
unions and employers alike.
Third. the Governor says a
lot about Svoluntary settlement
OF strikes" but wants neverthe-
less a law against strikes that
threaten our national safety"
He says of such a law:
Its purpose should be to keep
these cases out of the White
House, if possible"
When the reader notes that
sentence, he agrees that this is
something everybody wants, but
the Governor Immediately con-
tradicts the concept in the next
sentence when he says:
But the Congress should give
to the President a choice
OF procedures when voluntary
agreement proves impossible:
seizure provisions geared to the
circumstances

David Lowrence:

Gov. Stevenson. by the artful
use Of phrases, gave the general
public the impression that he
would do an even-handed job as
between management and labor.
but actually the Nations labor
leaders are delighted with the
inner meanings and implica-
tionS Of his Labor Day speech
which they recognize SO clearly.
For what the Democratic
nominee actually did was to ac-
cept 100 per cent the demands
of the labor-union leaders in
connection with the proposed
rewriting Of the Taft-Hartley
law. He did this by embracing
desirable principles that every
body understands and then out
lining technical proposals that
only the labor lawyers and in
dustrial relations experts un-
derstand. Careful examination
Of the Stevenson proposals
shows that the Democratic nom
lnee has really moved over COM
pletely to the "left" on the la
bor issue.
Thus, Gov. Stevenson has
agreed to eliminate from the
new law any ban on unfair
labor practices" by unions ex-
cept the two which they them
selves for some time now have
told congressional committees
they would accept-a ban on
jurisdictional strikes and Sec
ondary boycotts.
Mr.. Stevenson comes out
for the CLOSED shop" device
now prohibited-which means a
worker wouldn't be able here
after to apply for a job in free
America. or keep it. unless he
accepts union rule. The en-
ployer would be bound by such
a law to discharge any man
whose views or activities the
union officers disapproved. The
language of union constitutions
is very broad in giving to union
officers the power to expel mem
bers they dislike.
Then Gov. Stevenson would
eliminate any injunction as
against labor unions but would
retain the use of the injunction
against employers. He would
turn the clock back to the old
one-sided Wagner Law. He
would legalize compulsory union
membership. He would make it
possible again for threats by
Strong-arm squads and intimi-
dation by union organizers to
coerce the workers into the
union and yet go unpunished.

make no further policy moves to
solve the Korea situation. The next
step, officials said here, viii be up

Officials said today it viii be up
TO .he incoming regime to make
any fundamental changes such as
prosecuting the war beyond its

The Truman administration is
said to feel no new policy moves
are advisable before Eisenhower's
inauguration seven weeks away.
Two reasons are advanced:
1. Any large undertaking could
hardly be completed before Jan.
20, thus committing the new ad-
ministration to deal with a pro-
gram it may not approve.
Z. The United Nations fight In
Korea is an Allied fight, requiring
