To Stop Labor Strikes In Defense
Industries Congress Certain To Act
Bv JACK STINNETT
WASHINGTON. Dec. 19 — It
isn't always true that even the
noisiest congressional observers
can smell a new law coming. The
distance from the point where
' new legislation is introduced to
th; point where it is written on
| the statue books is no straight
i line and even if it were, it would
be too great for mortal eyesight.
But when bills directed at a
single object begin to drop into
the hopper like tick r-tape on a
New York hero and when speech
es on the particular subject be
gin to sizzle into white heat, you
j can be pretty sure that Congress
is blowing a not; you are going
to keep hearing.
That is just what has been hap
pening in the House of Represen
tatives and the subject has been:
Putting a stop to labor strikes
jin defense industri s.
Rep. Howard W. Smith, con
servative Virginia Democrat,
(chairman of the committee to in
I vestigate the National Labor Re
lations Board and author of the
NLRB amendments which passed
1 the House two-to-om, is also the
author of one of the new bills
designed to eliminate strikes in
defense industry.
Mr. Smith was one of the mild
est to take the floor in the pres
nt round of denunciation but
speaking of recent strikes in the
aluminum and airplane indus
j tries, he did get worked up
[enough to ask the House: “Now,
does it strike you as significant
that this little handful of radical
‘reds’ in these various key mat
j t rs have been able to absolute
ly stop the production of neces
sary and essential materials in
| two of the most important things
[ this country has to deal with?’’
And he drew a generous round
of applause when he concluded
with: “I just urge the Congress
again to wake up and g-t out of
the class of Rip Van Winkle and
let us do something about it.”
OTHERS SPEAK OUT
Jddge Hatton W. Sumners,
chairman of the Judiciary Com
mttee to which the Smith bill
will go for report to the House,
is about as quiet-tempered and
dignified as Repil sentatives
[come but he startled his colleag
ues by declaring angrily that the
country is afflicted with “a bunch
| of cutthroats” who are doing “a
Jdastardly thing” and “preaching
[ force” and that they “ought to
be given a double dose of their
own medicin..”
John Costel'o, whose bailiwik
is Hollywood, suggested that the
business looked to him like “an
organized program — possibly a
plot.” Eugene Cox, of Georgia,
shouted “sabotage” and “treason
able conduct” and Robert F.
Rich of Pennsylvania suggest.d
a cure in “concentration camps.”
Clare E. Hoffman, A'legan,
Mich., Republican wanted to
' know: “Is one of the objectives
aid and comfort to Hitler by the
slowing up of our industries?”
| What brought all this to a head
i ,vas the since-settled strike in
the airplane factory in California
concerning which Jerry Voirhis,
j Los Angelese Representative said
the laborers were justified in de
manding higher wages. Voorhis
said however that he did believe
the California strike had been
unnecessarily prolonged.
STILL SMOULDERING
That’s th. battle to date and
the controversy still is smolder
ing. What will come of the pro
posed legislation nobody at this
date could even guess. Unless
'some greater emergency arises it
J won’t come up until aft-r the new j
'congress convenes in January.
The Smith bill provides a max
mum life imprisonment penalty
1 for sabotage and forbids the clos
ted ship in defense industries. On
the strike situation its keynote is
“m diation” with a preliminary
•‘cooling-off period” of 30 days.
The chief weapon of enforcement
in this phase of the bill would be
pubic opinion with in the event,
of no settlement through media
tion or arbitration the Presi
dent’s issuing a statement pro
claiming the offending party.
_
UNIFORMS SMACK OF WAR
An alternative in the case of
the officers in civies, would be to
put them back in uniform an or
der which the War and Navy De
partments hesitate to issue be
cause it always is conidered the!
final sign that peace is over and
war is at hand. It has been done
before and in ea<lh instance,
j Washington takes on a martial
'air which would be all out of
i proportion for a nation at peace.
Although General Pershing is
one of the most confirmed beli-V
ers in the morale value of spic
and span uniforms at the close of
World War I, he over-rode his
reluctance and waited no longer:
than necessary to order men sta
tion d in Washington back into
civies.
While officers in uniform are
not difficult to identify, there’s a
pretty generous penitentiary sen
tence waiting for men imperson
ating an officer of the armed fore,
es. Th mere unauthorized wear I
ing of a uniform is proof enough.
Nevertheless mi itarv men sta
tioned here are not going back
into uniform for the present.
Like the civilian employees they
’ll report very morning at the
Army and Navy beehives with
their badges in place or get held
up until they are properly identi
fled.
Alfred T. Sloan, Jr., Chairman
General Motors Corporation: i
“The greatest source of inflation
ary danger is in th. increase in
wage rates and its impact on
costs.”
