COUNTRY FLAVOR

Sometimes, in black fly time and
again in deer fly season, the
cows went among the thick ev-
ergreens in the swamps. Then
boy had to hustle a bit to make
up for the time he had dawdled
away.
Going for the cows may not
be very exciting in terms of con-
temporary avenues of activity.
But there are those who remem-
Der the long-ago days on the
farm and who are glad that they
could go for the cows on a pleas
ant summer afternoon.

GOING FOR THE COWS

We are not opposed to prog
ress and probably zero pasturage
is a forward step in the dairy
business. In this new plan, cows
are kept confined and all the feed
is brought to them. Men with
machines clip the grasses and
haul it to feed bunkers. Bossy
spends her time eating and lol-
ling around yard.
But zero pasturage will de-
prive farm boys of a fundamen-
tai right. Along in the afternoon
if work were not unduly press
ing, father was likely to say,
"Son, we're pretty well caught
up. Why don't you go for the
cows?" Going for the cows, as
many men now working in city
offices remember, involved much
more than bringing the COWS to
the barn for milking.
A 12-year-older needed plenty
of time when he went for the
cows. There were woodchuck
holes to explore along the fenc-
es. A lad always had his eye on
a few hornets nests that need
ed cautious investigation. At the
low end of the field where ledg-
es showed, one could expect to
see the famous six-foot black
snake. In the hedgerows there
were bird nests, located weeks
ago. AS soon as the last brood
left, the nest was added to the
collection on the harness room
shelf.
Usually the cows were waiting
at the bars for they knew grair
was coming their way as soor
as they were in their stanchions

Good Police Work
And Good Citizens

On the morning of July Is,
1859, Sgt. Cola received a call
that some suspicious men were
in an old car in an alley behind
the Cadillac Club. Promptly an
swering the call, Sgt. Cola found
Harvey Lee Johnson sleeping in
the car, besides him were two
packages of cigarettes, looking
in the back seat, he discovered
many more packages.
On questioning the subject, he
confessed to breaking and en-.
tering the pool room at 1867
Claire Blvd. In his confession,
he named his accomplice, Willie
Lee Westbrooks, who was then
picked up by Sgt. Cola.
The moral lesson in this story
beside the quick police work, is
the fact that it is such clear
case of what the cooperation of
the citizen and the police can
achieve.

| give life and meaning TO its
declared principles on this sub
ject? The answer to these
questions Is crystal clear.
At the same convention Of
December. 1857. at which 1t
adopted its ethical practices
codes. the >AFL-CIO upon the
recommendation Of its Execu-
tive Council, and under its
Democratic procedure, expelled
three Of its unions as being
under corrupt control. This was
accomplished by more than the
two-thirds roll-call vote re-
quired by the, constitution.
Among the unions expelled was
the International Brotherhood
Of Transfers, the largest union
in the federation. The combined
membership Of the three unions
expelled represented more than
10 per cent Of our entire men,
bership.
Shortly thereafter, in March
of 1858, the AFL-CIO recog-
nized that there was still a
problem to be met--the prob
lem of protecting the member
ship Of expelled unions as well
as protecting the general public
from the consequences Of cor
rupt practices on the part Of
those unions.
At this juncture. the ALL
CLIO publicly advocated the
passage Of labor reform legisla-
ton by Congress-legislation to
protect the funds of union
members Legislation to safe
guard the rights of union mem

harass or punish the Legitimate
activities Of honest and decent
unions. In other words, the
Shelley bill is aimed at gettine
rid Of crooks. instead of get.
ting rid Of unions. For those
reasons we support it fully anc
we hope that the House Of Rep
resentatives will adopt it.
We in the AFL-CIo recognize
that the worst enemies of labor
are those few crooked union
officials who have betrayed theil
trust and sold out their men,
bers and made alliances with
the underworld.
Because Of the excuses they
have committed and gotten
away with, pressure has beer
built up for legislation that
would victimize all unions, the
great majority OF good ones
along with the few that have
been corrupted.
Basically, the cure for this
problem is better law enforce
ment. If the present laws or
the statute books of our States
against theft, corruption and
racketeering had been proper
ly enforced. there would be nc
need for new Federal law.
One thing is certain-new
legislation should be aimed al
the crooks, not at the decent
law-abiding unions and Their
decent, law-abiding members
The Elliott bill fails to meet
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-08-07

2 This is q critical moment in
the legislative history Of Amer
lean labor. Congress is III the
process of enacting what is de-
scribed as labor reform legisla-
ton. The Senate already has
passed a bill on this subject
which the trade union move
ment considers detrimental to
the future Of American labor.
Now the House Of Representa-
tives is about to consider sew
eral bills on this subject, name
ly, the Elliott bill, reported by
the House Committee on Edu-
cation and Labor; the Lam
drum Griffin bill, which has
the support of a coalition of
Republican and Southern DEM
ocratic members, and the Shell
ley bill, which has the support
of the AFL-CIO.
Whatever legislation is finally
enacted on this subject will
undoubtedly affect labor-man-
agement relations for years to
come. Beyond that, If the final
measure enacted places the
trade union movement in the
legalistic strait-jacket that
some of labor's enemies so
ardently desire, there is a grave
possibility that the Nations
economy might be adversely
affected.
Let me say as emphatically
as ! can that the AFL-CIO is
in complete accord with the
great majority Of the Ameri-
can people in favor Of legisla-
ton that will help get the
crooks without haraSsing and
impeding the forward progress
of legitimate and decent labor
unions.
Unfortunately, there are
forces at work whose only real
purpose is to hamper and, if
possible, to destroy the effec-
tiveness Of legitimate trade
unions. They consider the ex-
posure Of corrupt leadership in
q small minority of unions as
too good an opportunity to be
missed in order to fasten re-
strictive legislation on the en-
tire movement.
Under the guise Of legisla-
ton. against corruption, they
want to tie up legitimate union
activities with legal knots-thus
making it difficult, if not i'm
possible, for the trade union
movement to carry on its work
for economic and social prog
reSS.
AS part Of their anti-labor
strategy these people are de-
liberately circulating rumors to
the effect that labor is not
really opposed to this bill or
that bill or that labor wants
no legislation at all or that
labor as represented by the
AFL-CIO is not really con-
cerned with the problem of cor
ruption.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-08-07

this test. 1t places unfair bur-
dens on legitimate unions. The
Landrum-G Grimm bill is much
worse. 1t is a blunderbuss that
would infiict grievous harm on
all unions. It is supported by
the very elements in Congress
which have sistently
through the years voted for the
program Of big business and
against every progressive meas
ure that would benefit all the
American people.
That leaves the Shelley bill.
We sincerely believe it will do
the Job Of getting rid Of the
crooks who have worned their
way into a few unions. We be-
lieve 1t will do an effective Job
OF preventing unholy alliances
between dishonest unions and
dishonest employers. We are
convinced that 1t will not in
terfere unnecessarily in legiti-
mate labor-management ac-
tivities. The Shelley bill is anti
racketeer, not anti-labor.
These are the detectives that
the AFL-CIO seeks in labor re-
form legislation. We urge Con-
gress to keep its sights on these
detectives. If you want to stop
corruption and not harm legi-
innate unions, we hope you will
let your Congressman know
Immediately that you favor the
Shelley bill.

bers-legislation 10 help the
Government get rid Of crooks
operating in the labor-manage-
ment field.
This was q truly significant
action. Here was q group OF
private citizens saying to Gov
eminent: I'VE will assist you in
writing legislation to regulate
and govern certain Of our ac-
tons" Where else In American
life is there a parallel? What
business organization has ever
done such a thing? And the
record shows incidentally that
business is not immune to sin
nor free Of racketeering ele-
ments.
The AFL-CIO at that time
made one reservation: That we
would not support or accept
any legislation, under the
guise of reform legislation,
that would restrict and punish
honest trade unions. That res
ervation still stands.
Let us see how the pending
bills measure up to this test.
The Elliott bill contains pro-
visions that safeguard the
funds Of union members. that
protect union members against
abuses and that provide crimi-
nal penalties for a variety Of
intolerable racketeering prac-
tees. We are 100 per cent in
favor Of these provisions.
But the Elliott bill also con-
tains other provisions. 1t would
place the officers Of $1,000 local
unions in jeopardy Of being
found in violation Of q Federal

amount Of red-tape reports. It
would force union members
against their will and against
their basic principles to handle

hibit any union from adver-
Using TO the public that an
employer is unfair to labor,
pays sub-standard wages or
operates a sweatshop, despite
Supreme Court decisions that
have held a union has not only
a right but q duty to speak
out against such abuses. It
would make 1t virtually i'm
possible for the average, de-
cent union to function effec-
lively.

CLIO strongly opposes the Lam
drum Griffin bill.

their normal duties. II would
prohibit honorable organiza-
tional practices and procedures
upon which labor has built It's

expose unions TO the danger Of
endless litigation. not over real
issues. but at the whin of one
or two individuals, who might
be subsidized by hostile en-
|ployers or by Communists to
undertake such harassment. It
would make 1t extremely diff
cult for the average union to
conduct its normal business In
a straightforward, effective
way. Because of these provi-
sions. we must oppose and we
do oppose the Elliott bill.

Cites Record
OF Union Action

These rumors are all false
and can be proved by q quick
look at the record of the ALL
CLIO on this subject.
On February 9. 1855, almost
five years ago. the American
Federation of Labor and the
Congress Of Industrial Organ
izations reached agreement on
a set of principles under which
the two national trade union
centers would merge into one
organization. Among the prinL
ciples adopted was the follow
ing. and ! quote:
1.-THE merged federation shall
constitutionally affirm its de-
termination to protect the
American trade union move
ment from any and all corrupt
influences"
On December 5, 1855, the
AFL-CIO at its first convention,
wrote this principle into its
constitution and provided the
means for its implementation.
In the summer Of 1856, many
months before the Mcclellan
committee came into existence,
the AFL-CIO proposed to the
platform committees Of both
major party conventions that
they pledge their party to the
enactment of public reporting
and disclosure laws to guard
against abuses and corruption
In the administration of health
and welfare funds held in trust
for the benefit Of union mem
bers. Such a law has since been
enacted.
Less than q year later, fol-
lowing the early hearings of
the Mcclellan committee, the
AFL-CIO urged extension OF
the same legal safeguards for

Londrum-Griffin Bill
Opposed

Now. let's see how the Lam
drum Griffin bill measures up
1t also contains a number OF
misunderstanding provisions
which are similar to those in
the Elliott bill. Again the ALL
CLIO is 100 per cent in favor.
But the Landrum- Griffin
bill goes a lot further than the
Elliott bill in penalizing legiti-
mate practices Of legitimate
unions. It would subject q
union presiding ofiicer to a two
year Jail sentence merely fol
blocking a disorderly person
from disrupting a meeting. II
would require even the smallest
local unions, without paid off,

Shelley Bill Favored
By AFL-CIO

Finally. we come to the
Shelley bill. It contains pro-
visions against thievery anc
racketeering which are ever
stronger than those in the FL
lott bill or the Landrum- Grit.
I'm bill.
Unlike those bills. the Shelley
bill would also require full re.
porting from business firms Of

activities and the hiring of la.

But 1t does not contain any
provisions which would restrict

Labor Committees in favor Of

ity and directives contained in

Executive Council drew up a
comprehensive set Of codes OF
ethical practices for trade
unions and trade union officials
and presented them to our con-
