made many visits to the TVA properties 

and talked with both tehnicians and 

labor uionionst We lIantarie hlis

iai. nla-nilnagliuenlt oopieatlirni' is 

one of those teehnical d.esriptivt phrases 

with an academic flare which means little 

to the average arder, but the wmold and 

all to those who know what it is almut. 

Put in homespun. we can understand why 

folrward-looking administrators, englneers 

and labo leaders are so elated about 

it and declare it to be the mist .ilpe(poant 

feature of the TVA Labonr Relaions 

Policy. They call it 'A milestone If progreoss 

and 'A new era fur lablr.' 

"Thus far in our machine age, managemn 

t- that is, general nanal.ers, engi 

nler., mastelr mechanics and superintendents-have 

told labor what to do and 

how to ido it. Skilled era ftsmen, plus orn 

mon labor, turned out the product whether 

it was a box of matches or a hundredmillion-dodlar

took the blue prints, scheduled

thousanid othir things. No maItter they 

kept still as; a rule. Management was 

nlanatmjonlt and knew. 

"The TVA policy makers, haI another 

idea. They held that there were among 

the workers mainy craftimen who had 

eyes and ideims. They asked, Why not tap 

this reservir if brains and give both

helpful to both make the job a partner.

will get a wide reeption, with o... 

own eadets, 

"The Tennessee Valley Authority is

After a few year8 of trial, I assert as 

far as the railway is concerned. and I 

think those who repreellt our men ,oidd

WIhl,4 TAXES Paid 

qliCONSUMER CallRetont 

SIOME 

of the sweeping criticisms aimed 

at the electric power operations of 

the Tennessee Valley Authority are 

therlselves deserving of some critical examination. 

If the TVA activities constitute 

no sound basis for comparing the 

relative merits of private and public 

operation of power utilities, the pub ii 

should be so informed. On the other 

hand, the experiment is too important 

to permit it to be discredited by incomplete, 

mistaken or deliberately false 

information. 

The stakes are high. To appreciate how 

high, it is necessary only to reeall the 

long history of corporate interloehings 

and pyram lingo , tile finan.ci I metaphysics 

which characteri ze Iapr te utility 

operation. aid the consequent impotence 

of effective regulation which finally 

brought Cvnglrss to recognize that a 

yardstick of powerl opeettion1 is a desirable 

alnd ncessary thing. It is helpful 

to bear in mind that if the TVA can 

produce a sound and reliable standard 

LI power utility operations, then in addition 

to harness.ing the damaging flood 

waters of the Tennessee Valley, the 

project may succeed in stopping some of 

the equally damaging swollen streams 

of uniea :d utility profits. 

The issues most commonly raised relate 

either to the economic justfieatoion 

N;K'' 

This fact 

throws light upon vexed TVA 

p)roblemss 

of the powel operations, or to, the questrin 

of taxation, or to a combmiarisn of 

both. 

MATIHEMATICAL EROSION 

One of the most superficially persuaive, 

and at the same time i.maginative. 

attacks on the TVA was one recently 

syndicated by thei (hicago Tribune Press 

Sevice. In challenging TVA's claim that 

its power operations had become self 

Siupporting up..n reaching an Intcomne of 

$15,000,000 annual.ly, this article quoted 

a statement that the dams, trnsmission 

lines, steam plants and other purchased 

aIs;ts had cost almost $30i5,000,000. 

Against this, it was asserteld, private 

utilities would have to pay 5 per cent 

as interest, and set up a depreciation reserve 

of 2.5 per cent, amountJng to over 

$22,000,000, plus taxes of $2,500,000 and 

operating expenses of $5,000,000, making 

a total of $30,000,000. 

Thus simply was the power operation 

if the TVA hrown for a $15,000.000 

annual loss! Thi; not very subtle reckonig. 

even if the figures .v el' acce pted, 

Z 0, I 

I T 

ITE ITTLE CONSUMER OF EIECTRICITY IN THE TVA REGION 

The JounlaI 

oe ELECTRICAL WORKERS and Operators 

makes he initial mistake of charging 

against power operations the entire cost 

of navigation improvement. flood-ontrol. 

LiOnioi in of national defense, fertilizer 

experimentation. etc. Consistency would 

require that, to tle TVA power rev- 

-fue there be added the many hundred, 

of millions of dollars resultng from proteelion 

agiehist flood loss, transportation 

perils, oil erosion and other tangible 

losses, to say nothing of the inreas.ed 

sccurity to life and happiness. 

DIVID)ENDS WITHOUT 

INVESTMENTS 

The article also makes the mistake of 

assuming that interest on the investment 

is properly chargeable to the expense of 

operat.ion., instead of r'eognizing it as 

a part of profits. The justification of 

stockholders' profits delends upon their 

furnishing the funds needed for a given 

enterprise. If the funds are nevertheless 

borrowed, the eF'eet of such borrowing 

shouli be to reduce the amounts available 

for dividends and not to increase 

consumer costs. Admission of any other 

theory would furnish ihe utility with a 

nmotive for remaining in debt perpetually 

so that dividemlns could be collected 

on an investment which is also supported 

by interest payments. 

But eve, if it were otherwise, it i' 

interesting to note that the bonds sold 

by the municipalities and cooperatives 

which buy TVA power secured by power 

revenue and not by taxation--were readlfly 

marketed at interest rates ranging 

fron onily 2.3 to 3.6 per cent instead of 

5 per cent used in the above computa- 

tion. With respect to depreciation, the 

let inconme of the TVA power operations 

was d!temiled only after deducting an 

average depreciation of 2.1 per cent. 

whereas the average, depreciation rate 

of 1 5fli private utility companies as reported 

to the Securities and Exchange 

(on is4h)o i was only 1.66 per cet in* 

stead of the 2.5 per cent which it was 

stated the utilities apply. The correction 

of interest and depreciation rates alone 

would he equivalent to a saving of about 

$11.000.001, even on the basis of the 

foregsing figures. 

SMOkE SCREEN 

Before considering tile question of taxation. 

it should he notedl that the TVA,. 

on its presenIt basis. will save consimers 

of electricity ill tile area which it serves 

approxinm ately $8.000,000 annually. In 

1933, before TVA. residential eonsu llers 

of the T allessee Electric Power Conpany 

paid an average of 5.77 cents per kilowatthour. 

in 19g3 the TVA average paid was 

109 cents per kilo itt-hour, as against 

a inatilnal average of 421 cents. These 

figures suggest that the -eal value of the 

taxato I.i ssue l.is in its eapacity to di 

vit attentilon fromn mote fundami..ental 

matters. 

Plobabty the niost noteworthy piresnitilfn 

of the tax issue was that which

political efaorts to check the 

malignant growth of the corporate 

power and by eonral to minimize its 

threat to political democracy. 

EFFECT OF SHERIMAN ACT 

In 1890 the Sherman Anti Trust Law 

was enacted. As lawyers, even as laymen, 

you know its oinmon and accepted 

applicability. Every contract, combinatim, 

aid conspiralcy, in the forIn, of a 

trust or otherwis', in restraint of trade 

or cenimelee among the several states is 

'illegal." Each violation is a misdem.ean 

l, pnunish abi by file, i mprisonment 

or both. 

Section 7 enlables a persin damaged to 

sue in the distrir toti ard '(cov. three r 

times the daniage sustai.nId, plus cIlss 

an,, attorneys fees. 

The rapid develop.l.lt of large corporate 

initrprises, of holing cdompairx es 

with widespread power were klnoWln anti 

feared. Railroads, sugar refilerlies, ste(el 

manufacture, tobacco, oil these were aIready 

at th, corporate stnge where the 

ilapgor was foc, %eaIhh!. T'IhI purpose of 

By administrative 

legislation Department of 

Justice repudiates dissenting 

opinions of liberal 

judges 

the statute was clar, o pI c..t too 

great con.einta.ntion of ,.cononic puower 

with the inevitable injury to the conslnnor, 

duo, to his lack .of wao.. to 

combat such power. CetaiJldy hwhn enactd, 

deslito its generai lanwuiage the 

evidence does not disclose ..i.y intended 

applieability to labor unions. 

SHOCK TO LABOR 

It was not until 1895 that the first 

S.her.nal law prosecution canet to the 

Suprime Court and the resull in the 

Sugar Trust case was not .ncoulrauging to 

those who had placed faith in the law 

the corporations which onstitited the 

monopoly of sugar refiling were held not 

to be engaged in in erstat i co.inlnelct 

But the shock of large coro'Iriate.. entrpise 

on the eventual applcati.on of the 

Act against railroad poo.s, agrii n t holding 

companies, against tie oil ild tobacco 

monopolies, was nothilng t th, shoc keceir,d 

by labor when the same law was 

held equally applicable to labor unions 

enaged iin strikes aidii boycott of lnolunion 

goods-the famous )anbury Hat 

teis ease. At least capital had ample 

warning in both the Act and in increased 

demands,, for "teeth' in the law's enforcement. 

Labor had no such warning. 

As you know, in 1008 the highest court 

handed down the memorable decision 

holding all combination, which interfered 

with initerstte commerce to be vioIative 

of the Act. The court admitted that the 

Sherman Act "had its origin in the evils 

of niased capital," but since the Act 

covered any combination in restraint of 

interstate commerce. and since labor's 

aim was here to stop the flow of connierc.--the

liE COUP' nE GRACE 

Such hop, howeso ver, were soon shatterei 

TiLiP, tdi stigma of uniawIlfles 

was ren.o.vel fnron labor ul¢los LS such 

Ful'ther thon thnat rampant capital would 

not yield. The '"rule of reason" was ,li-


plicable to industrial capital, but not to 

labor in enforcing the law. 

The Supreme Court dealt the coup de 

grace to the Clayton Act amendments in 

Duplex Printing Co. v, Beering, 254 U. S. 

443 (1921). By then, you will re.al we 

had entered the period of hectic 'normalcyy 

of sarled menlory. 

The Duplex Company was one of four 

eonpanies maIking nwspaper presses. 

The other threI had been uni.mized by 

191 anldl the ight-hour rday sand ininimul 

wage were rriodiid in their contracts. 

Duplex insisled on a 10-hour day .and 

open shop. (o in petition erdinired the 

others which wo re closed shops. The union 

struck it the Tilex plant and called for 

a hoycott of Diuplex presses. ineuiding 

refusal to work on them,. to instull them 

nyiwhere. ad persuading ... FlOpI(etiV 

customers atgeirst purchase. 

Only Justice Me Reynolds today r ma. ils 

of the majority, whoe opinion by Justice 

Pitmny sounds aIther strange in tii light 

of the swiftly moving ihcedes of Piogresive 

social and lablor legislation: 

"It is settbid by these decisions" (referring 

to prior Sherman Act cases) "'that 

such a restraint produced by peaceabli 

persuasion i. as much within the prohi 

bition as one accomplished by force or 

threats of fore;o and i not to be justifiled 

by the fact that thile participans in the 

combination or consPiracy may have , ime 

object beneficial to thelmslves or their 

associates which possibly they. might have 

been at liberty to pursue in the ilasen. e 

of the statute"

JUSTICE BIRANDEIS' lDISSENT 

The stirring dIissent e mnphasizes thai 

all the acts complained I of were peaceful; 

that no induaemen t to breaches of cntract 

was involved; that one out of four 

constituting the entire industry wonuld 

be able to destroy harmony 

and to batter lbor iinto sub 

midssion to I.l..iPr hours and

Brandeis, in diissenttili/*: 

"lay not aIll with i eolilmon

articles whose very ioluc 

tio constitutes an allItlk

are convinced 

supports it? 

"C o i greIt,

was the body 

which should 

substituted the opinion of Congress as to 

the propriety of the purposes for that of 

differing judges; and thereby it declared 

that the relations between employers of 

labor and workingmen were competitive 

relations, that organized competition 

was not harmful and that it justified injuries 

necessarily inflicted in its course. 

"But it is not for judges to determine 

* the Iinits of permissible 

contest and to leciare thi, duties which 

the new situation demands. That is the 

function of the legislature which, while 

limnitin in.divilual and group rights of 

gtgression ani d efense. mlay subtittute 

proesses of j,,,uice for the more piBititve 

method of til by comlat," 

Well might it have behn a dded Ih lit io

the gvermen . i tself thrrenter' in I)Detroit, 

in Pittsburgh and in New Yoik to 

trot out the Sherinan Act to invaliddate 

such agreement. The realsol assigned is 

the xistence of abbuses in an industry to 

which abuses it is said labor is a party. 

We aly well call to mlind thile calm 

words of the hate Justice Cardoz,. spoken 

in the NMw York Cou.t of Appeals: 

"'We do not readiy overturn the settlied 

practice of the years,.' 

Ther are other penal ti tliutes at hand 

for meeting such abuses if crimlnal in

ures. You don't hbln, th, baln to roast

Let .in c o alii rI on a i, i nre ease ,i, be 

fore bringing the discussion closer to our 

own day. In Bedford Cut Stone Co. et al. 

v. Stone Cutters Ass'n, the performance 

of the Supreme Court in Duplex v. Deering 

was repeated, again with a powerful 

dissent by Brandeis in which Holmes 

joined, but this time with Justices Sanford 

arid Stone concurring solely in deference 

to thile lie sio l of the eni't in 

Duplex v. Deerinbig. 

As pointed out by Jdustice Branrift, it 

was wholly unnecessary to consider 

whether the restraint, wholly intrastate, 

operated upon iii erstatoe ommere. The 

union's conduct, 'Efusaing io work on prod- 

Uic tIf .ionu lion l abor, being wholly 

reasolabIle action, should iot be distorted 

by hyplIer legalise magic inlto an unreasoeablb 

-estraint under the Shermrin Act. 

"It wioid, indleed, be strange if Congierss

A PATTERIN WIHROUT DESIGCN 

If comparative exii.nlanatons of thl, 

above cl~assiications, are nl ido between 

differert yeas. the proflnd chianges in 

the character of our civilization become 

impressively apparent. Shifts from the

changs fronm ownership to tenancy: 

changes .ion, multitudes of sinal

For .example, the 1937 census of 1ma,1 - 

factIir s shows , that ther were 106,794 

plants doing a busiiness of $5J)00 or more 

per yar, emp..loying 8,56.69,231 worker.. 

But of this total nulnlber of plants. onethird 

of them did less than $20.001 

annually ind lheir cm bined production 

was only i per cent of the total. The 

one-fifth of the factories doing more than 

$250,000 worth of business per year produced 

over 80 per cent in value of all 

good, anid employed .lmost seven nrillion 

out of a total of 8,569,231 workers. 

A glance at the figures of retai tradlh 

reifect a similar concenutrion. in 1935 

there were 1,653,961 rct{il stores with 

almost, four million employees. But I 

per cent of these stores did 25 per cent 

of the business. The combined business 

of one half of the stores amounted to only 

8.; per eeI iof the totall retail trade. 

It might be expected, perhaps, that 

the condition of agriculture would reflect 

a healthier state of d.emocratic economy.

Caw Teemw TECHNOLOGY 

SHORT time ago a conference representing 

teachers, statesiuta, religion, 

A labor, idutrialist, farnrs, layers, 

engineers, racial minorities and a 

variety of other groups, met as the Congress 

on Educathion for Democracy at 

Columbia University to discuss what 

they considered the supreme problem of 

our time, namely, 'How shall we educate 

for denocraly?" 

At first i..pression it may seem that 

the conference exaggerated the importance 

of its theme. But reflection or 

a study of the discussions will rveal that 

the topic is extremely comnprehensive. 

Education includes the cultivation of the 

means for realizing the ideals of society. 

In the Unliited States the ideals of society 

are the ideals of democracy, as noble 

as any yet conceived for the guidance 

of temporal affairs. There is room for 

questioning, however, whether the means 

employed are effiiently adapted to the 

realization of the democratic goal. An 

intelligent criticism of democratic means 

requires a re-examination of objectives. 

When the ultimate objectives of democ 

racy are considered, the great scope of 

the topic becomes apparent. As observed 

by a member of the conference, in tracing 

the origin of the idea of democracy. 

'"If we are bold enough and insistent 

enough our search will carry us into a 

considleratioe of all things human-the 

ultimate desig, of the universe." 

What is the real meaning of demnocracy, 

of freedom, of equality ? These are 

broad concepts subject to various and 

often opposing Interpretations. As noted 

by one of the speakers, the word democracy 

does not lppear in the Declaration 

of Independence; nor in the Constitution 

of the Uitead States. Another observed 

that it is easier to die for democracy 

than to define it. If democracy is to reach 

a greater perfection, indeed, if lemocracy 

is to survico, there must be a more 

widespread, realistic and precise understanding 

of its goals. 

The specific questions before the conferenee 

were not less significant. Can 

democratic government and the democratic 

way of life deal with the particlar 

issues arising out of immense machine 

technology, cities crowded with te,ming 

millions, private corporations exercising 

powers which were formerly not possessed 

even by sovereign states, the role of 

organized labor, industrialized farming 

and the decline of freehold agriculture, 

millions of unemployed and the demoralizing 

effects upon millions of others 

who cannot find signifiant work, an 

economy which is efficient in material 

and wasteful in human resources, and the 

q7ad& DEMOCRACY? 

Conference of 

leaders threads through maze 

of "isms" to seek an answer 

international rivalries which complicate 

all these issues? 

In emphasizing that time presses hard 

for a solution of these problems, the 

members of the conference were indulging 

in no professorial rhetoric. No more 

real or timely issues exist. Indicative 

of the nature of what is at stake, there 

is here cited an extract from a recent 

issue of Nation's Business, charateristic 

of some of the false solutions which are 

currently being urged. The article in 

advocating that federal relief should end, 

states: 

".-. almost every state constitution 

decrees that persons in poorhouses, 

prisons or insane hospitals 

shall not vote. It should be lational 

for courts to rule that there is no 

naterial difference between a pauper 

housed in a room rented with public 

funds and one housed in an institution, 

if some taxpayer just raised the 

question. If that fails, state lcislatures. 

not the federal government, 

define who shall vote. The power to 

eliminate paupers has always been 

recognized! The relief vote is dangerous 

only when it is allowed to 

vote,. Once amputated, it is harmless 

to retaliate. 

LIQUIDATE THE UNFORTUNATE 

The sanction here appealed to is power, 

not right. The use of the word retaliate 

is an adnission of the injustice of the 

proposal. The barbaric recommendation 

that palupers be ".liminated" would, if 

successful, eliminate human rights, liberty, 

equality and democracy itself. And 

yet, it is advocated within tile forms of 

democracy! 

Contrast that recommendation with 

Charles A. Beard's statement at the conference 

interpreting the declarations of 

the founders of the Arcricln Republic, 

"Ringing through their utterances like 

the tones of a clear bell is the warning 

thesis: A wide diffusion of property and 

a general equality of condition are the 

very foulndation stones of popular governin. 

[lt; a high concenltration of wealth 

is incompatible with uliversai sufflrge; 

a broad distribution of opport.unity and 

assurance to labor is necessary to the 

security of republican institutions," 

It is noteworthy that many of the 

addresses made at the Congress for Eduaetti 

s t .tressed the importance and 


immediacy of the threat which the continued 

unhealthy state of our economy 

holds for democracy. But when the particular 

functions of the schools were 

under consideration, the fear of permitting 

teachers to include "controversial" 

issues among their subjects was repeatedly 

vxpre.sed. Since the actual condition 

of our ecollomy, and the causes and the 

effects thereof constitute the most controv.rsial 

issue of the dlay it seems, in 

the writers opinion, that the dilemma 

which tile educational conference rfleeted 

typifies the dilemma with which democracy 

is confronted. Avoidance of such 

is.ues not only delays solution. but leaves 

the way open for action based upon ignorance 

and the frequently deceiving 

propaganda of partisans. 

This difficulty ws reflected in anothr 

form in the discussion entitled '"Centera 

of Tension in Education for Democracy. 

As summarized by Frank P. Graham, 

president of the University of North 

Carolina, the most conspicuous source 

of tension arises over the scope and cost 

of the schools. Because of the depleted 

condition of public treasuries, itself a 

condition resulting from a faulty funec 

tioning of our economy, there is a growing 

pressure to lighten the burden at 

the expense of education. It seems that 

President Grahanm's treatment of the matter 

was significant. After pointing out 

that, in spite of the great sum spent on 

education, it is still less than is spent 

for past and future walrs, he said, "The 

suggestion that we save out of the school 

budgets to pay olff the large state debts 

leaves out of acCounlt the fact that we 

will pay off our long ilunhin debt only 

by the Ion-run educational development 

of the latent capacities and creative power 

oi the people." 

While the struggl of democracy is 

usually, and properly . associated with

NEW DEFENSE MEASURES 

In addition to the new locks and separate 

fromn their cost, the War Departnient 

has authorized the expenditure of 

$50,000,000 fur defense purposes, and the 

Navy Department will also spend many 

millions of dollars. All this means that 

the total lmount if money to be spent 

by the United States Government in the 

Canal Zone during the next five to seven 

years will reach $400,000,000, a sum 

greater than the original cost of the 

Panaais Canal. Most of this money will 

be spent for labor, and this mainly in 

the building and mechanical trades, with, 

of course, the necessary clerical and 

other occupations. A very small percentage 

of money from this huge sum will 

be spent on actual armament, if ally at 

all. The provision for the employment

When the bill for this new construc

No. 1 American labor continues to be agitated 

Problem by the vexed problem of unemploymient. 

Important light is thrown upon this dire 

and stubborn phenomenon by the Monthly Survey of 

Business of the American Federation of Labor. 

"In October, 1929, the Federal Reserve Board adjusted 

index of industrial production stood at 118, and 

there were 47,000,000 persons at work in the United 

States, with only 1,000,000 unemployed; 10 years 

later, in October, 1939, the production index stood 

at 120, and there were 44,000,000 at work and 9,000,000 

unemployed. In these 10 years, machinery and labor 

saving devices had replaced 3,000,000 workers. While 

these 3,000,000 jobs were eliminated, 5,000,000 new 

workers were added to our working population, making 

a total 8,000,000 for whom jobs are needed. 

These 8,000,000 new job seekers, added to the 

1,000,000 unemployed in October, 1929, make up our 

present army of 9,000,000 unemployed. 

"The 3,000,000 who are now jobless because of 

labor saving devices represent only a part of the 

'technological' unemployment dclue to the progress of 

the machine. Between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 more 

would have been unemployed today, according to our 

estimates, had it not been that their jobs were saved by 

shortening the workweek. It is a striking fact that by 

taking 10 hours from the workweek, reducing it from 

average 50 hours in 1929 to average 40 hours in 1939, 

we have prevented technological unemployment from 

reaching 6,000,000 and have held it to 3,000,000. This 

is an oulstanding achievement equalled in no other 

country of the world. It has been accomplished very 

largely by voluntary action, first through the President's 

Reemployment Agreement in 1933, followed 

by NRA codes, then through strong trade union action 

by collective bargaining. All these were forms of voluntary 

agreements, involving employers, workers and 

in the first two cases the government also. Standards 

set by these agreements have now been established 

by legislation. The Fair Labor Standards Act fixes 

42 hours as the legal maximum workweek for all 

companies in interstate commerce, recognizing this 

standard as accepted practice in our country. This is 


an iodstanding example of social adjustment in a 

JOURnAL OF 

dleneracy. Voluntary agreements, later established 

through legislation, have changed one quarter of our 

ELECTRICAL WUJORHERS unemployment into leisure and saved nearly 3,000,000

"Hope for the remainling 9.000,000 unemployed lies 

in increasing industrial production and gradual further 

shortening of work hours. We estimate that industrial 

production will have to reach a level at least 

25 per cent above that of 1929 ill order to give jobs to 

all the unemployed. Such an inlrease in production 

would mean a higher general living standard for our 

population." 

Saving the The general staff planning the cam- 

United Front paign of the withering United Front 

(the C. I. 0., the communists, the liberals 

and cerltain government agencies) foresaw 

months ago that the communist penetration oC the 

C. I. O. would wreck its standing with the American 

people. Hurriedly plans were made to offset this disaster. 

The general staff foresaw that it would be 

impossible to wipe the stain of communism off the 

C. I. 0. escutcheon. Shrewdly, therefore, the general 

staff declared, we must tar the A. F. of L. 

This process has been going on in a forthright 

manner. Every effort that could be put forth has been 

used to create the belief in the public mind that the 

unions of the A. F. of L. are racketeering unions. The 

general staff said, following its policy of rule or ruin, 

that if the C. I. 0. was to be tagged as communist, the 

A. F. of L. shall be tagged as racketeer. 

Whether or not Mr. Thurman Arnold, of the U. S. 

Department of Justice, was a conscious tool of this 

campaign, by his attack upon the building trades 

unions by means of the illegal use of the Sherman 

Act, he played directly into the hands of the general 

staff. Let us look at the record. 

The American Federation of Labor has 4,000,000 

members. At the minimum this means 12,000,000 citizens 

if we rate a family of three as the present unit 

of American life. No one is going to believe that these 

sincere, respectable, hardworking unionists are racketeers. 

Neither is anyone going to make any thinking 

citizen believe that the 150,000 local union officers 

manning the 36,000 local unions in the American 

Federation of Labor are racketeers. This is too raw 

a piece of propaganda even for unsuspecting Americans 

to swallow. 

Mr. Arnold has brought indictments against many 

trade unionists. In New Orleans he has quite frankly 

said in effect that A. F. of L. unionists are guilty of 

restraint of trade because they do not allow C. I. O. 

unionists to deliver goods on the job. Mr. Arnold has 

moved against the president of the A. F. of L. Seafarers 

union but has refused to move against the presi-


dent of the C. I. O. Seamen's union, although presumably 

they are engaged in exactly the same kind of 

work. 

The ELECTRICAL WVORKEIS JOURNAL helieves that 

this well-calculated program of publicity will fail. 

The American people will not believe that workers 

are racketeers. If the general staff uncovers a racketeer 

here or a racketeer there, they still will not succeed 

in smearling the unions of the American Federation 

of Labor. 

He Loves It was all a mistake! A misunderstanding ! 

Labor The prosecutiion of labor under laws inapplicable 

to labor was not an act of hostility. 

It was a token of love. At least so it appears 

from Thurman Arnold's statement on January 27 that 

ill some cases the Sherman Act is the only protection 

labor has, and I hat labor will favor such prosecutions. 

As Hlitler has "protected" the Austrians from Austria, 

the Czechoslovakian s from Czechoslovakia, the 

Poles from Poland as Stalin has "protected" the 

Estonians from Esionia, the Lithuanians from Lithuania, 

the Latvians from iLatvia and the Finns from 

Finliand, so now a self-appointed leader in the person 

of Assistant Attorney General Arnold offers to "protect" 

labor from itself. 

As the sell-sacrificing tyrants of Europe offer their 

soothing love-potions to their intended beneficiaries 

by bayonet, machine-gun and bomb, their American 

imitator offers labor "'protection" in the form of prose 

cutions, fines and jail sentences under the anti-trust 

laws. 

It is difficult to rejoice over this revelation of a new 

era of friendship. 

Pegler Pegs Mr. Westbrook Pegloer, master grouch, 

Away the Ned Sparks among the columnists, 

denounces, condemns and then instructs 

William Green, president of the American 

Federation of Labor. Mr. Pegler blamles Mr. Green for 

his alleged failure in bringing to justice alleged racketeers 

in two cases among A. I'F. of L. unions. Mr. Pegler 

shrewdly guesses that neither Mr. Green nor anyone 

else will dare to ward off his attack because Mr. Green 

would be immediately accused of dlefending racketeers. 

The ELECTRICAL WORKERS' JOURNAL is not afraid 

of this charge. its years of decrying corruption, its 

ardent spirit of reform anti its belief in the moral 

forces that lie in the labor movement lead it to say 

"pooh" to Mr. Pegler. 

Mr. Pegler has only himself become morally indignant 

after the federal governmont had brought 

charges againlst two labor leaders.r . . Peglkr moves 

Upoll the assumption that racketeers are powerful 

figures outside the law, easily recognized in the labor 

movement and carrying on their nefarious practices 

in the open. This is not true. Racketeers are powerful 

figures within the law, buttressed by highly paid legal 

talent, principally concealed, carrying on their nefarious 

practices unbeknown even to unionists. 

If Mr. Green were to undertake to compete with 

the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of 

Justice, he would first have to set up a bureau of investigation 

quite as competent and powerful and he 

would at the same time have to set up an arsenal of 

arms and a company of unofficial G-mlen. In short, 

without the majesty of the law behind him, MrI. Green 

woild have to usurp the duties of Mr. J. Edgar iHoover 

and it is only to warpecd mrinds like, that of Mr. Pegler 

that Mlr. (Gteen appears culpable and ineriffective. 

Lewis's P'attern Persons mystified by John L. 

of Conduct Lewis's attacks on Franklin D)elano 

Roosevelt have only to turn back 

and study for a moment Mr. Lewis's career. Mr. Ilewis 

has advanced or sought to advance his personal ambitions 

over the bodies, so to speak, of four important 

men. 

A generation ago Mr. Lewis was an olbscure local labor 

leader out of a job and he was picked up off the 

streets by Samuel Compers, president of the American 

Federation of Labor. Mr. Gompors gave Mr. Lewis his 

chance but within a very short period lMr. Lewis was 

appearinlg t a convention of the A. F. of i., demanding 

that Mr. Gompers be dereated for the pretsidency and 

.\r. Lewis be elected. 

Mr. Lewcis never obtained this objective but it 

was a forceful introduction to his pattern of conduct. 

AMr. I.ewis became president of the United Mine Workers 

of America by a process of undermining his superior 

officer and friend, Frank Hayes. Mr. Hayes 

was defeated for office and Mr. Lewcis became 

the president. 

The third stepping stone to Mr. Lewis's prominence 

was William Green who at one time was secretary 

of the Mine Workers. Mr. Lewis was president. 

Mr. Green as Mr. Iewis's friend performed countless 

favors andi services for the Mine Workers' president 

only to reap a reward of caluimny, ridicule and character 

assassination. If Mr. Lewis had succeeded Mr. 

Green he would be president of the American Federation 

of Labor today and Mr. Green relegated lo the 

sctrap heal). This is the picture then up to 1940. 

There is little doubt that Mr. Roosevelt has been 

Mr. Lewis's friend. There is little doubt that he has 

performedI countless services for Mr. Lewis's organization 

and now Mr. Roosevelt is receiving the same 

treatment as Mr. Gompers, Mr. lHayes and Mr. Green. 

Mr. Lewis is undertaking to help Mr. Roosevelt to the 

scrap heap.

within the Brotherhood will incorporate this 

clause in all contracts. 

At this time your eorrespondent takes 

pleasure in introdlucing Brother Edwin Sibre 

tI the JOURNAL readers. Brother Sibre, while 

one of our younger members, has the qualifications 

necessary for development in an organisation 

such as ours. 

Thip being my first contribution to the 

JOURNAL, I will endeavor briefly to state 

some of the things which the I. B. E. W. 

means to InC. 

My membership in the . B. E. W. is vauable 

to Ime as it i lily aldmilssion ticket to 

better working conitions and higher wages. 

Pl.us the privilege of cias association with 

the highest type men icirs in our craft. It 

aIso entitles me to enjoy the benefits of the 

hard work done by my prerecessors in the 

lield of organirid labor. 

Firmly believing that, "'Tt ha which is worth 

having is worth workilng for," I anl glad to 

houlder the burdens a iinid responsibilities 

which my membership in the I. . E. W. 

entails, and fully ralile thit it is the duty 

ef .very member, especiallv young members, 

{nrlrtepatiotl in union ffairs and] what 

powerful coffee he makes! 

It Is aglln n a pleasure to report the progress 

of our aplIpritice schaol. The anddlitio of 

Brother Coppola as truaIt officer has booeted 

the attendiinice. Brother Ca pla says we 

must have 200 per cent attendance or else. 

Or else what, Tony? 

We again thnk the members for their 

generous support to the house cnntunittee and 

wih t, didse, that the sthopl Ila,..I .ri. d is 

now in use annld taking anl lafa bheating by 

irothers Lesetring, Riley and Miller.

interests into large coriorations or trusts. 

This form of consolidation wai declared illegal 

in the eighties, but we have not to late 

heard of nuch being dlone about it. In IfSO 

organnIpd labor was facing organied capital 

with the conscl.iousness of its interests as a 

class. 

President Lincoln in one of his iessagrs 

to Congress stated that the rights of labor 

were prior to those of capital. 

Men of orgonized labor hae suffllered much 

for their cause. 

Men have died for it. 

Men have suffeered imprisonment for it. 

Now an assistant A. G. would destroy what 

little protrction the labor il"ions have built

foes of the A. F. of L. huilig trades are

This local. after waiting patiently for

from the N. L. R. UB, a decision that maili 

a mock of the etilliere produced at lit

as it did hien the complaint was filed, but 

gave the enlpliytes' a.ssciation a, tuch

that the miilte they leave the employ of the 

company they .. e i,. to lger mncepmbers, an 

association that guarantees them nothing 

but the satisfaeLi ll ,or pIaying dues. 

But if this local is made of the light 

kind of stufT, this decision is goilg to lie 

the factor that will make them realize that 

only throurh their own efforts are Illy 

gning to build a union thiat umei.t In

secretary, shouldering the hard work 

and responsibility of an office which all 

recognize as one of the most dlifciult in 

arny local's organization. 

It is inposibe not to moun the untin.ely 

demise of such a man at the early

the J.OURNAL, his capabilities were inecrasing 

steadily, while his desire to render 

intelligent service to the Brotherhood 

never diminisihd.

HE cause of civil liberty must not be surrendered 

at the end of one or even one 

hundred defeats ..... If there is anything that it is 

the duty of the whole people never to intrust to 

any bands but their own, that thing is the preservation 

and perpetuity of their own liberties and 

institutions..... I fear you do not fully comprehend 

the danger of abridging the liberties of the 

people. A government had better go to the very 

extreme of toleration than do aught that could be 

construed into an interference with or to jeopardize 

in any degree the common rights of the citizen.
