AF.L INTO THE G.O.P.
(Continued from Page 1) |
proposals would assuredly wreck the,
C. I. O. For the moment they might]
help the A. F. of L, which industry |
now regards as a satisfactory substi- |
tute for the outlawed company union, |
But in good time they could and would |
be used by reactionary employers to,
smash the A. F. of L. too.
That the Walsh amendments are ac- |
tually industry’s amendments is ob-
vious. Senator Burke of Nebraska has |
submitted some even more drastic pro- |
posals, but no one in or out of Con- |
gress is paying much attention to |
them. They served their purpose when
they gave Green a chance to denounce |
something obviously worse than his
own proposed changes. His went so
much farther than the Houston con-
vention had authorized that he was |
secretly called to order by some of the
more liberal council members at
Miami for betraying the convention’
mandate. The upshot was an agreement
to get behind a new bill.
This new plan calls for repeal of the
present Wagner Act and Its reenact-
ment with three major changes:
(1) substitution of a five-man board
for the present three-man board; (2)
a requirement that crafts must be cer-
tified as the proper bargaining units;
and (3) a provision that the board
may. not nullify labor contracts. These
three amendments are enough to des-
troy the Wagner law, if the Supreme
Court, following the election returns
in its latest decisions, has not already
done so. In the Fansteel case the court
accomodatingly pointed the way for
labor-baiting employers to avoid their
obligations under the Wagner Act by
goading strikers into unlawful acts. In
the Columbian case it invited federal
courts to ignore the board’s findings
of fact, the same legal device by which
the Federal Trade Commission was de-
vitalized years ago. Thus the objec-
tives of some, but not all, of the Walsh
amendments already have been achei-;
ved by judicial fiat.
The drive for abolition and reenact-
ment of the law has one purpose—to
get rid of the present board, whose
members have incurred the enmity of
the federation by insisting upon enfor-
cement without corner-cutting of fav-
oritism. This device would relieve the
federation of the embarrasing necess-
ity of going through with its fight a-
gainst Donald Wakefield Smith, the
member who has been most friendly to
the crafts. A five-man board might
have the additional viriue of provi-
ding green pastures for a pair of A.

On August 18, 1937, William Green

ia’s Secretary of Labor and Industry,
“working agreement’ with F. D. Cos-
ter, late swindling president of McKes-
son and Robbins, and Frederick Win-
gersky, for the company. It stipulated
that all McKesson and Robbins bran-
ches would be placed under local A.
F. of L. contracts providing for a work
week of not less than forty-five hours
(one hour above the maximum now
permitted by law), that there would

The record clearly shows that verti-
cal unionism versus horizontal union-
ism is a fake issue so far as the fed-
eration is concerned; the sheer necess-
ities of belt-line production have dri-
ven it into acceptance of industrial
unionism. It has no objection to indus-
trial unionism, per se, only t o
control of the new unionism by some-
one else.
power to prevent imposition upon or
interference witn business of the em-
ployer by any other labor body no
affiliated with the federation.” A board
examiner in Seattle subsequently
found that this agreement had been
represented to McKesson and Robbins
employees as a closed-shop contract.
If that wasn't a yellow-dog contract,
As for the charge so often repeated
by the A. F. of L. and its allies that
the board has favored the C.I. O., the
record shows it is a spurious one.
Early in the game the board adopted
the so-called “Globe” doctrine: that
crafts must be certified as the proper |
collective-bargaining units in all cases
where they have any historical: claim
to recognition, any substantial meme
bership, and any inclination to be cla-
ssified separately. As result, in the six.
ty cases in which there has been a sub-
stantial disagreement between the C.
I O. and the A. F. of L. over the pro-
per unit, the board has found for the
federation in twenty-nine cases and
for the C. I. O. in twenty-three. In
only eleven cases has the board turned
down applications for craft-unit classi-
fication. In all these cases it had a good
reason for deciding as it did, the most
common being that a majority of the
craftsmen involved wanted to join an
industrial union.
The amendmnet against the invali-
dation of contracts is the most vicious
of the three. Its purpose is to prevent
the board from upsetting A. F. of L.
contracts where employers have hel-
ped the federation to organize their
workers in order to head off the C.
I. O. Federation leaders want to wan-
gle closed-shop contracts and thus to
forestall C. I. O. expansion. Already
this has been done in scores of cases,
and the board has nullified thirteen
contracts which obviously were the
products of collusion between the fed-
eration and employers. One such C. I
O. contract also has been canceled.
it was out of the same litter. Yet it
would have been inviolate under the
proposed amendment,
In the first case of contract nullifi-
cation by the board, the A. F. of L.
was the complainant against the Clin-
ton Cotton Mills. The federation quite
properly demanded cancelation of a
contract between the mills and their
company union. Since then the federa-
tion has gone in for a kind of company
unionism on its own hook. But if the
amendment it now sponsors is adop-
ted, nothing will prevent employers
from rushing into contracts with “in-
dependent unions” and again freezing
out the A. F. of L.
Trade unionists are growing increas-
ingly restive under the shortsighted
leadership that has tried to make them
behave like scabs. Already units of
thirteen internationals of the A. F. of
L., seven state federations, and central
bodies of twelve cities—including
Omaha, Senator Burke's home town—
have gone on record against tinkering
with the Wagner Act. This kind of in-
dependence at the grass roots holds out
some hope for an eventual union with
honor between the A. F. of L. and the
C. L O. But unless Roosevelt can reach
over the heads of federation leaders to
rally this sentiment behind a recon-
ciliation that preserves both militant
industrial unionism and the funda-
mentals of the Wagner Act, the price |
of his peace gesture to business will be
high.
“HUCKLEBERRY FINN” |
WITH MICKEY ROONEY
SUNDAY-MUNDAY BILL
The greatest thrill for an actor is
to play a character who does all the
things the actor himself has dreamed
of doing. Which is Mickey Rooney's
way of explaining exactly how his
character of “Huckleberry Finn” has
brought something into his life. The
Mark Twain Story, “The Adventures of
Huckleberry Finn’ comes on Sunday
and Monday next to the Grand Thea- |
tre, Patton.
“He could go barefooted and fish,
didn’t bother about school, and in gen-
eral do as he pleased, which means he
did the things all boys want to,” says
Mickey. “And that doesn't mean he
was spoiled, or shiftless, or vicious. He
just was allowed his own self express-
ion. He expressed a great loyalty am-
ong other things in his attempt to
smuggle a runaway slave to freedom
He expressed a great love when he
saved the heiresses from the swindlers
—With ‘Hucklberry Finn’ Mark Twain
proved somewhat the same thing Fa-
ther Flanagan proved in practice in his
Boys Town; that there's reaily no such
thing as a bad boy.”
Mickey's role as the Mark Twain
hero is his first starring role in his
own right since his Mickey McGuire
comedy series. He has been a featured
player or co-star ever since.
“Not that this business of being star-
red means anything,” he says. “Iv’e
always said that {’'m really a character
actor. But right now I'm a character
actor playing a real character. Every
day I und new things about Huck
Finn, his thoughts, his motives, and
what kind of a fellow he really was.”
The picture, filmed largely on loca-
tion on the Sacrameno River, which
was called on to do duty for the Miss- |
issippi, follows the original story,
which Mark Twain wrote as a sequel
to “Tom Sawyer,” to the letter. Rich-
ard Thorpe directed. The period just
prior to the Civil War in Missouri and
Ohio was reproduced from research.
