Sunday, February 6,
Mr. Breger
this thing has happened countless times: Prophets were nearly always
Oain. Heroes are lauded by Inline generation* but eruiified by their
OH". Most Of the saints were martyred! He careful whom you stone!
The stone which Ihe builders refused is become tha head of ihe
corner.—Ps. 118:22.
leeth Needed in Labor Law
JOHN L. LEWIS’ name figured prominently in u conver-
sation between Secretary of Labor Tobin and the senate
labor committee the other day. This was tjuite natural,
for ihe administration substitute for the Taft-Hartley law,
which Mr. Tobin was trying to sell, says something about
national emergencies created by strikes. And that inevitably
brings Mr. Lewis to mind.
Mi. Lewis cl id n t invent the idea of threatening to
paralyze the nation in order to got what union labor wants
Irom its employers. lint he brought it to full flower. Until
Mr. Lewis got to looting his oats, the intervention of the
president and the force of public opinion wore usually
‘•iiough to halt such a strike until agreement was reached.
Hut i< took stronger measures to turn Mr. Lewis from his
apparent willingness to let railroads halt, factories shut
down and houses grow cold until his demands were met.
That is why congress gave the president a power of
injunction in the Taft-Hartley law. Mr. Truman used it I
against threatened strikes by maritime unions and atomic
energy workers as well as against the miners’ union and its
president. Hut it seems safe to say that if there had been
no John L. Lewis there would have been no injuetive power
in the Taft-Hart ley law.
* * * *
jyjOW tin 'administration which used that injunctive power
without any expressed regret or apology wants to nban-
don it. The proposed labor relations act shortens the cooling
ofl period after a strike notice from 80 to 30 days. At the
end of this shorter period the bill leaves the government
|miuei less ju case striking unions decide to close the mines,
stop ships or railroads, shut down communications or elec-
tin' power, or do anything else that would cause extreme
danger or inconvenience to the national life.
Secretary lobin s explanation of this was rather curious.
Answering questions which pertained directly to Mr. Lewis,
lie said public opinion would enforce the 30-day cooling off
period and force a settlement in that time. He also de-
tended the shorter period by saying that "conditions are
different now” than they were during the wartime and early
postwar coal strikes, "for you have a 00 to 100 days’ coal
supply above ground."

We cant imagine much stronger expression of public
opinion than that which greeted Mr. Lewis during the shut-
downs that Secretary Tobin referred to. Nor can we imagine
lliat Mr. Lewis has changed so much that he would now
bpw to public opinion after he had defied both the people
and tiie president in the midst of a war for national ex-
istence.
