“LOOKING AHEAD
Some Observations by Len De-
Caux, CIO Writer.
SOME FACTS ON HOW
TO TREAT YOUR STOM-
ACH ARE ADVOCATED
Always rise from the table with an
appetite an dyou will never sit down
William Green was on the spot when | without one.”
he testified before the Senate Com-
mittee for his amendments of the
Wagner Labor Act. \
Red faced and flustered, he was
like a small boy trying to recite but
not sure of his lines. His attempts at
emphasis sounded more than unusual-
ly mechanical and misplaced.
The senators were courteous and
friendly. Senators Taft and Walsh
made a point of helping him out |
when he got in a jam. AFL Attorney |
Joseph Padway was there to prompt
him. And he had the moral support of
organized manufacturers and the re-
actionary press.
But still Green looked as if he were
on the spot—and he was.
He was on the spot because he
knew the CIO had the goods on him
when John L. Lewis charged his am-
endments were prepared in collabora-
tion with anti-labor manufacturers.
He was on the spot because he
knew the rank and file of the AFL
were not with him.
Above all ,he was on the spot be-
cause he knew he had a hopelessly
bad case which all his shouting and
arm-waving could not conceal.
Lewis had charged publicly, char-
ging documentary proof, that Grenn's
amendments had been prepared with
the aid, advice and counsel of the Na-
tional Association of Manufacturers,
and of several of the most reactionary
and anti-labor corporations of the
country.
Green tried to bluster his way out
with an attack on Lewis and with a
denial that he personally had * con-
ferred or counseled with representa-
tives of the N corporations.
Padway, however, admitted he had | §&
consulted lawyers with employers as
clients, and said that some of them had
suggested “excellent amendments.”
Both tried to offset in advance by
partial denial agd partial admission, |
the documentary evidence which the
CIO will produte in support of its
charges.
Green claimed that all his amend-
ments, except the proposal for a new
five man labor board, were authorized
by the Houston AFL convention.
Yet, comparison of the amendments
with the convention decisions which
Green put in the record, will show a
number that are not in any sense cov-
ered by the Houston authorization
In any case, all the convenuon did
was to autnorize certain changes in
general terms. The specific amend-
ments in the Walsh bill were never
submitted to any convention.
Representatives of anu-labor man-
ufacturers were consulted in their
drafting as the CIO will show, but
AFL unions like the Machinists have
complained they had no opportunity to
pass on them.
Even if actual evidence of collusion
were not available, the Green amendad-
ments are so similar to those of the
NAM that they are on their face more
a manufacturers’ than a labor pro-
gram.
Senator Burke, bitterest foe of the
Wagner act, whose amendments em-
body the maximum program of the
NAM, did not conceal his fellow-feel-
ing ior Green.
When the AFL president said he
had heard “my good friend, Senator
Burke” was allied with the NAM, Sen.
Burke replied, “I've heard rumors to
that effect. I'm glad to welcome you to
the company.”
Burke welcomed Green even more
cordially to the anti-labor ranks when
he shook hands with him after the
hearings, and said:
“Now that we are laboring in a com-
mon cause I want to congratulate you
on your fine presentation. I will be
glad to support you in any way that
is not prejudicial to your cause.”
Green waxed more than usually em-
ctional when he sought to deny that
AFL unions could play the role of
company unions.
For that is what he 1s actually pro-
posing.
His amendments would allow em-
ployers to interfere with their em-
ployees’ choice of a union. They would
allow company straw-bosses to influ-
ence elections .They would forbid the
labor board to outlaw contracts signed
by an employer with an organization
which he and not the workers had
chosen. And they would remove a lot
of other proceedings against company
unionism.
What other motive could an AFL
leader have in proposing such amend-
ments than the hope that employers
will use their new power to pick AFL
unions for their company purposes?
Green attempted to deny that there
is a widespread revolt among AFL
members against his program. But the
evidence is increasing daily, and wilt
be submitted to the senate committee
in detail, that AFL as well as CIO
workers strongly prefer to choose their
own unions, and are opposed to the
Green-NAM amendments which would
permit employers to tell you which
union to join.

with the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission at Washington, D. C., an ap-
plication for a certificate of public
convenience and necessity permitting

William Penn, the founder of Penn-

When a man has lived

ought to know how to feed it.
Such is not always the case.

with his |
Some will try any diet recommend- |
ed to them by anyone.
Then wonder why they have di-
gestive trouble and little appetite.
Brillat-Savarin, the famous epicure,
said, “Animals feed, men eat; but on-!
ly men of intelligence know how 10
eat.”
He was speaking gastronomically.
There is no trick to proper eating,
If one is normally healthy, there is
no need to worry about proteins, car-
bohydrates, vitamins and fats.
All one has to do is to eat a sen-
sible meal.
The “essential constituents” of diet |
will be in such a meal.
There are so many well-intentioned
and earnest people
| is not safe nor sensible to
what their friends should eat for a
reducing diet, for acid stomach, for
roughage diet, etc., ete,
If one has digestive discomfort it
accept
blindly the advice of amateurs.
Prolonged digestive trouble may be
serious and should be properly diag-
nosed by a doctor.
It is true that more die by fooa
than by famine.
So the advice of our own William
Penn is very good indeed.
Always rise from the table with an
appetite.
“Put that turkey leg in the ice box,
mother, I'll be back tor it iater.”
