night at the Cosmos Club. A
singer who earns his daily bread
in the opera house is seldom a

is apparently too young for the

well-controlled pianissimo and of
"a feeling Of personal intimacy

His voice is light and occa-

clean in attack and refined in its

one would expect of a man so
young.

cause, Mr.. Reuther is very influ-
ential man in the Democratic party.
Through his protege, Gov Soapy
Williams of Michigan. he controls
the Democratic machine of that
State. He is also a vice president
of the left-wing Americans for
Democratic Action and a personal
friend of the good Adlai.
More than onyone else Mr. Reuth-
er will direct the political activi-
ties of the AFL-CIO organization
this fall. Already he has built what
is probably the most costly pub
licity and propaganda machine ever
known. 1t includes regular radio
and television time, magazines,
columnists, newspapers and vast
outpouring of miscellaneous litera-
ture. Nearly all these instruments
are Slanted on the Democratic side.
The reason, of course, is that for
the last twenty odd years, the labor
bosses have consistently expanded
their influence within the Demo-
cratic party and to considerable
extent have taken it over.
Undoubtedly, the Detroit deci-
sion enhances Democratic chances
in the coming campaign, so far as
they can be enhanced by the use
Of money. AS Senator Goldwater
points out, there are many ways in
which money can be used. Not
withstanding the fact that Mr.
Eisenhower is stronger among the
rank and file of organized labor
than he was in 1852, it is conceded
that the leaders are mostly against
him. No wonder Republicans-and
some Democrats who regard the
extension of labor boss domination
of their party as menace-say
| that the time has come to reWrite
the Federal Corrupt Practices Act
But that will hardly be done this
year.

AFL-CIO did not inherit some of
the craftsmanship of Samuel
Gompers, the George Washing
ton" of the union labor movement
in America Gompers repeatedly
warned that union labor must steer
clear of political activity and that
it would destroy itself if it resorted
to force in recruiting its member
ship
What the union labor movement
needs today is an Abraham Lin
coin" a Great Emancipation" to
preserve the great gains that it has
made and to prevent it from de-
stroying itself through unstates-
manlike, greedy leadership.
Mr. Meany must learn that la
Dor uniOniSm can never attain the
security he so earnestly desires
for it by forcing men to join
through the instrumentality of the
Union Shop He must be made
to realize that there is no place
for compulsion in the American
scheme of things, that any organi-
cation or organizations that resort
to force nurse whiting their bos-
oms the seeds of their own de
struction.
The way for labor unions to at
tain security is to make themselves
SO attractive that workers will
knock on their doors pleading for
admission. And that, Mr. Meany
can only be accomplished by purg-
ing your movement of the self-seek-
ing racketeers that surely as night
follows the day, will destroy it.
The Congress of the U.S.A. is of
a mind to give Mr.. Meany great
help toward that SaIutary goal He
can, if he will, be the Great
Emancipator" of the union labor
movement in joining wholehearted-
ly with the Congress as it embarks
on a crusade to emancipate the
"enslaved" workers of America.
