WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 10.—
The following transcript is made
from a recent radio address by Fulton Lewis, Jr., veteran Washington
eorrespondent, over Station WOL
and the Coast-toCoast network of
the Mutual Broadcasting System.
It describes in some detail exper_ jences of Calpital newpp4gper men
with the National Labor Relations
Act in connection with attempts to
organize employees of the Press
Club.
This.excerpt from Mr. Lewis’ radio
“address is reproduced for the infor: mation of newspaper editors by the
' National Association of Mianufacturers, 14 West 49th Street, New
York City.
Mr. Lewis said:
“Now, .very frequently, the most
important and far reaching events,
take place very quietly, and inconspicuously and that is just what has
happened during the last few weeks,
in connection with the National
Labor Relations Board.
You know, most newspapermen,
here in Washington, the editors, the
writers, the columnists, and the correspondents, 90 or 95 per cent of
them, I think, have always been
rather friendly, to the Labor Relations Board, They support it, and
they even defend it, rather generally.
:
The basic philosophy of the W2gner Labor Act, of course, is to protect the worker against explojtation,
and intimidation, and to guarantee
the right of collective bargaining.
The principle is generally accepted as desirable, by all progressive,
fair minded people, very few of the
newspapenmen have paid much at-:
tention to the activities of the board,
most of the actual news édevelopments there are rather dull, and
routine, and most of the correspondents; without having had any firsthand contact with the board, have
generally assumed it was doing a
good job,-in a perfectly fair Way.
They’ve supported it because they
support the theory of the Wagner
Labor Act. :
But in the last few days the newspaper gentlemen, have been awakened with a rather rude start.
They’ve had an experience of their
“own, a first-hand object lesson of
the way the Labor Relations Board
operates.
:
And from present indications, that
little experience is going to have an
important effect on the newspaper
attitude, in the future.
What happened was this:
The famous National Press Club,
you‘ know, is composed of all the
columnists, editors, special writers,
and news correspondents’ in Washington. It has 54 employees, and I
might mention, that those employees
are very excellently treated.
The ‘pay for colored waiters is
from $65 to $100 a month (which is
‘far above the union wage scale) plus
three full meals a day. There’s a very
large Christmas fund, every yeaf,.
whenever an employee, or any member of his family, is taken sick, he
gets full pay, indefinitely, and the
ub: pays for all of his doctor’s and
“hospital expenses (in some cases,
‘that has gone on for Many many.
moriths.)
2
. All employees get vacation, every
year, with full pay. They get almost
double wages, for over time, they
get their holidays off, with full pay.
In the last two and a half years,
no employee has resigned, and only
_ three have been discharged, two of
them for stealing and selling hundreds of dollars worth of food, from
“the kitchen, and the other one, for
making charges against a fellow employée, which he couldn’t substantiate when an _ investigation was
* Some weeks ago, some representatives of the CIO began agitating,
among the employees, and trying
‘to organize them, in the Cafeteria
. lations Board conferred with the executive committee, of the Press Club.
They set last Friday, as the day for
the election.
But rather strange things began
to happen,.a number of the waiters,
some of them helpers in the kitchen,
began to make complaints. They said
that while they were at work, people called at their homes, and told
their ‘wives, that if they didn’t vote
to join the CIO, they’d have their
said that their wives had ‘been told
they’d be fired,
Then some of them brought in
printed circulars, which had been
sent to their wives, explaining why
the employees should vote for the
CIO. Those circulars listed ten statements of what the employees would
get if they voted for the CIO, and
what they would lose, if they voted
against it. And a very careful analysis showed that 7 of the 10 statements were diametrically untrue.
They were simple falsehoods.
That was a little disillusioning to
the newspapermen gentlemen, who
run the National Press Club. They
certainly were not opposed to the
workers ‘signing up with the CIO—
if they wanted to, and, as a matter
of fact, I think a very heavy majority of the newspapernmen, in Washington, were in favor of the employes organizing.
But these threats and false promises did seem rather unethical and
improper, anf so some of the officials of the Press Club took the matter up, with the Labor Relations
Board, They said they thought the
employees had a right to know the
truth, to be protected from racketeering and coercion.
. And then came the crowning blow.
The answer they got from the
Labor Relations Board was, that the
Board wasn’t in the slightest concerned, with any coercion, or the
threats, or of intimidation, by Labor
organizers, who were trying to get
the workers to join a union. It was
merely interested in .making sure,
that the officers and members of the
National Press Club made no attempt
to tell the workers not to join.
They said the Press Club officers
would rot be permitted to contradict
the false statements, or to reassure
the employees against the threats of
violence. ae
And furthermore, the board
would not do anything about it.
Now, as it turned out, it made very
little difference. That election was
held, the employees voted—31 to
23—not to join the CIO.
But that’s a minor point. The important angle is what has happened.
to the sentiment among the newspapermen, who make up the Press
Club, because this little experience
seems to have been a rather severe
jolt to their idealism.
There’s a feeling, that the Laboy
Relations Board is not giving pro
tection to the workers, it’s given license to the organizers. :
During the last four or five days,
I have heard the same remark, from
‘dozens of the men, who were strong
supporters of the Labor Relations
Board, before.
“If this is the way the Labor Relations Board operates, no wonder
there’s such a howl of protest. -I’m
surprised that every businessman
and industry in the ‘United States,
isn’t yelling its head off.”
And unless I’m very much mistaken, I think you’ll find that the
handling of news stories, out of
Washington, about the National Labor Relations Board, will take a very
different turn, from now on, and
that’s likely to be reflected, in a very:
different attitude, down at the Capitol. :
I think you’ find that the next
Congress will go through, with some
of these investigations of the Labor
Board, which were blocked in the
last session. I think you'll find a
general demand for a general house

TWENTY AFTER
FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY
planation, as to why the worker .
hasn’t just as much right to be pro-.
tected against threats, and coercion .
and intimidation, by a labor organ-.
izer, who wants him to join a union,
as he is, against the employer, who
is trying to prevent him from joining one. :
And. apparently, from the developments, today, there’ be plenty of
support for that investigation, within the ranks of labor itself.
Because, this afternoon, down in
Houston, Texas, Mr. William Green,
told the American Federation of
Labor, that he will call for a complete overhauling of the National
Labor Relations, by the next Congress.
He made the charge, that the
board is merely a stooge, of the CIO.
That it’s unfair and biased, that it
does not have at heart the interest
of labor in general. . :
And he announced that the federation will use its entire strength, in an
effort to defeat Mr. Donald Wakefieid Smith, one of the members of
the Board, when his renomination
comes up before the Senate, for ratification.

By ROY GRIFFITHS DEETER
HAS any kind friend a nice soft
shoulder that we may weep upon?
Why? Well, and all, we cannot say
that the election results have made
us exactly happy, howsomever, maybe we shall live through it.
WE understand that quite a lot of
snow fell yesterday a few miles
above Nevada City, and by the way
the weather is turning cooler daily
we believe the time is drawing close
for a ski inspection. We are about
to get ours out and dope ’em up for
the glad days of falling-down-andgetting-up-and-falling down, that lie
ahead—like Bruce’s spider, we try,
and try again.
We just finished reading Daphne
DuMaurier’s new book, ‘‘Rebecca’’
and we must say it left us with a
terrible depression, and probably we
shall not recommend it to most people, it is so horribly full of frustration even if it takes a rather unexpected turn about two thirds through
MARX BROTHERS
IN FARCE “ROOM
SERVICE’ A HIT
Pe
How to produce a Broadway play
without a cent of money, forms the
unusual basis of ‘“‘Room Service’’,
the Marx Brothers new comedy opening Sunday at the Nevada Theatre.
A close copy of the play “Room
Service” presents the Marx. trio as
shoestring theatrical producers
searching industriously for a financial backer while blithly running up
an immense bill at a Broadway hotel. Their play and cast are all ready,
but they haven’t a nickel to rent a
theatre! 4
Just as their unpaid hotel bills are
plunging them into plenty of hot
water, a backer appears on the horizon, and the three: comics are kept
busy juggling the various hectic situations in which they find themselves—finally managing to have their
principal foe finance the show. himself without being aware of it!
Crammed from start to finish with
side-splitting incidents, “Room Service’’ is said to be-sthe funniest vehicle of the Marx Brothers career.

Albertson are featured in this RKO

‘Daphne, her book “Gerald,” a por, trait,” was fine. It was about her
‘father, the late Sir Gerald DuMaurier
for years the idol of the London
stage, so probably this is why we
felt let down over ‘‘Rebecca’’ maybe,
you will like it anyhow.

who like something new and different and easy. We are really all of atwitter about them, and we think
we shall extend our specializing from
