And that situation is definitely not the American way. | recent statements from both CIO AFL to the effect that a house cleaning was being started to rid the ranks of labor of its racketeering officials who have exploitec the rank and file members for their personal gains But, in the hgm the present family fusses in Washington We were gla to note and camps of John L. Lewis al 'lnhnr the clean-up either started too late or the cleaners have broken their brooms. The tragic part of the present turmoil is that the fight is being waged, in most cases, over issues which cannot possibly do any good for the men who do the work The dispute is either jurisdictional—an attempt m establish one of two rival union groups as the bmgmnmg agent—or it is a fight to establish a | closed shop. | The jurisdictional jam means more money only for organizers and business agents. It is a battle |to see whether the dues paid union officials by the workers at some plant are to go to Joe Doax of the Marine Salvage Workers, or Jack: Hooligan of the Submarine Divers Brotherhood. In either case, |the same men are employed and receive the same wage. The closed shop agreement is a protection for |a few employees who are not capable of holding a |job without the pull they may derive through friend- ship with the union business agent, in many cases. On the other hand, it may be a protection to the workmen against being forced out of work because |of the petty enmity of some company official, but |a capable workman is always In demand where |there is work to be done and the cases on record {of good men being discharged because they didn't | part their hair where the boss felt it should be | parted are few and far between, [ Labor unions have been the biggest |ever put to work in behalf of the American labor- ing men. They have won workers increased pay, better working conditions and many other things | which every right-thinking citizen approved. But when these same unions begin to sprout with oppor- | tunists who use the workmen as a force to feather |their own nests, it seems to us time for the men | with the dinner pails to assert their rights. With taxes on the increase, necessary if we are to withstand the pressure of dictator nations, it does not seem right that strikes pulled in behalf of |the greedy desires of labor racketeers should further | |cut down the earning power of the men who make |the wheels go around. Neither does it seem fair | that the government should take over and lay down |ironclad rules regarding plant operations, wages, hours and other conditions. | The majority of we Americans are neither gov- ernment officials nor union leaders.
