Its chief purpose is! to prevent the organization of the millions of unorganized workers par- ticularly in the basic industries, a move which the big trusts recognize is inevitable in the immediate future. By setting up the whole force of the press, “public” opinion and the power of the reactionary labor ma- chine against what will undoubtedly be declared as “outlaw” strikes, the unorganized workers can be preveated from all attempts at organization, it is pointed out. In fact this is pre- cisely what has been the experience of the workers in Canada where a sim- ilar law is now in operation. Cohen, the chief sponsor for the| proposed anti-strike law, was for a number of years the legal advisor of the employers in the clothing indus- try and as such was one of the bitter enemies of the workers. He is now playing the role of a “public spirited” citizen. Another chief mover for the law within the Bar Association is the president of that body, Chas. S. Whit- man, former district attorney, and at one time attorney for the Interboro Rapid Transit Company which has fought labor organization for twenty- five years, Denouncing the American Bar As- sociation proposal for a national anti- strike law which has been endorsed by open-shoppers and certain of the reactionary labor officials, William Trade Union Educational League and leader of the 1919 steel strike, yes- terday issued the following statement: hg Nothing to Gain. “Matthew Woll, vice president of the American Federation of Labor, does not speak for American labor when he says that it regards as ‘the through the courts and interfere in WORKERS PARTY.

For no one who is sophisticated as to Tammany Hall politics will be- lieve, observers say, that the city of- ficials who are actually playing the traction company’s game really in- tend to prevent the increased fare move. The rejection by the Transit Com- mission of the new increased fare schedules requested by the Interbor- ough was expected and comes as no surprise, of lieved, in order to place the matter | within the jurisdiction of the courts.
