- to make the Hatch bill unpalatable to
« the Republicans who have supported the
N Measure solidly, and by alienating Re-
publican votes to bring about ultimate
defeat of the whole reform
% But to our way of thinking the
Bankhead idea makes the Hatch bill an
even more desirable measure. We hope
it will remain in the bill and go into the
.a statutes.

ment provides that any contribution in
excess of $5000 to a political campaign
or party committee shall be considered
a “pernicious political netivity." It fixes

A Lesson In Realism
NTHE attitude of the United States

lot debt, dislocation of its whole
economic machine, abuse, disillusion.
. The only chance of gain from that ex-
mI perience is the chance of having learned
something.

a sardonic sage, "ie that we learn
nothing from history."
That looking at it the worst way.
Maybe we have learned something, aft-
or all. Finland should be another les-

tu war without “liberating” anybody. All
‘ it did was to beat to its knees s cour-

The British and French have made

the game was up, and came when it to

Weir’s Labor Record
‘Fine and Dandy to
Some, Not to Others
By RAYMOND CLAPPER
DY Time Magazine this week I
D see that several backseratch-
ers of Ernest T Weir, the steel
industrialist who recently was ap-
pointed Republican national fi-
nance, chairman, regard hia labor
record as "fine and dandy,"
From the way the Republican ‘
party publicity agent to talking
around Washington, It looks as if
the Republican
party is prepar-
ing to go into
the campaign

Weirs labor
record as its
model labor

"fine and dandy."
But it is a matter of record
| that the Weirton Steel Co. used s i
professional industrial - espionage
agency over a period of years.
It is a matter of record that
| in the spring of 1937 —soon after
I the Supreme Court had upheld the
| Wagner act the Steel Workers
Organizing Committee, which has
I been recognised by U. S. Steel as
a collective-bargaining agency,
formed a local union in Weirton
■ and that when employee went to
work wearing their SWOC buttons
they were beaten up and thrown
out of the plant.
Those are a couple of high spots
out of this fine and dandy" labor
record. Republicans could bettar i
| take U. 8. Steel’s recent labor
| record as a model. It would be
| much easier to defend.
A FEW days ago the Steel
A Workers Organizing Commit-
tee wrote In to me saying that
| within the last six weeks it had
tried to rent office quarters in
Weirton, which is an unincorpor-
ated community at the mill gates.
Several locations were selected in
turn but in each case, the SWOC
letter said, when the organizers
went back the next day to sign
up they were told by the owners,
that, the SWOC could not have the
crats. They use the name Demo-
crat, because they know they
couldn't elect a dog-catcher with-
out it.

from Virginia to Oklahoma and

get. Mississippi, the poorest state
in the Union, cast one vote for
relief, and it was not Wind-

I panned that along in a letter
to Mr. Weir and said I would like
to have hia side of the story. A
secretary replied that Mr. Weir
did not care to have any further
correspondence with me.

This is the so-called smith commit-
tee the group of five congressmen head-
ed by Howard (Smith of Virginia which
has been investigating the record of the
National Labor Relations Board during
the past few months
When the House of Representatives
set this committee up last July, it gave
it extremely broad authority.
It directed it to investigate the La-
her Board and the Wagner act and to
recommend such changes in law er per-
sonnel as M deemed advisable; then, in a
separate paragraph, it instructed the
committee te determine “whether or net
further legislation to desirable on the
subject of the relationship between em-
ployer and employe.”
Under that authority the committee
can investigate practically anything that
centers about the activities of organized
labor
The committee has brought in a set
sf amendments to the Wagner act and to
in recess until these amendments have
been considered Chairman Smith says
It will offer no further Wagner Art legis-
lation at this session.
But the committee Itseit does not go
out of existence until the end of the
year. Furthermore, toward the end of
