WHY KEEP IT?
_ By DeWitt Emery
(Editor's Note: DeWitt Emery is president of the Nation-.
al Small Business Men’s Association. )
When the Wagner Act was being considered by the senate before it passage in 1935, the sponsors of the bill said this .
act was necessary in the public interest because employers’ .
unwillingness to accept collective bargaining !ed to strikes a
other forms of industrial strife. It was stated further that “
perience has proved" that legal protection of collective ae
gaining “safeguards commerce and industry from injury and
interruption.
Those are the principle reasons advanced by its sponsors
‘as to why the Wagner Act had to be passed. How has this act .
worked out as a preventer of strikes and industrial _ strife?
Let’s look at the records of the department of labor to see if we
can find out.
In 1944 when our boys on the firing line needed everything we could possibility get to them, which in itself should
have been the best possible strike preventer, there were 4,956
strikes. Contrasted with this, there were 2014 strikes in 1935.
Back in 1929, which was long before the Jegal safeguarding of
collective bargaining, there were 921 strikes involving 289,000 men. In the 1944 war time strikes, 1,116,000 men were
involved. Every year since passage of the Wagner Act, there’
have been more strikes than there were in any of the ten years
before collective bargaining was “‘legally safeguarded.”’
So far as promoting peace and harmony between capital
and organized labor, the Wagner Act is a total loss. It has.
however worked to the great temporary benefit of labor unions, more particularly labor leaders. The act forbids employers to coerce employees, but employees were not forbidden.to
coerce employers or other employers, with the result that “‘collective bargaining and coercion is used onsthe rank and file
union member just as much as it is on employers and public
officials.
Actually the Wagner Act was doomed to failure, assuming of course that this country continues a republic the very
minute it was passed because it is a one sided biased piece of
class legislation and a republic can only function successfully
on a basis of equal justice under law.
Under the Wagner Act organized labor has a right to do
anything it~wishes; strike at will; boycott anything or anybody; restrain trade in every way it chooses; prevent delivery ,
of United States mail; destroy private property and in general
run hog wild without a ee the public or the government
having any recourse whatsoever.
The only restraint yet devised is for the administration,
under its war time powers to punish the employer—for the
sins of labor—by taking over his plant. That is so weak and so
cockeyed that it would be funny were it not so tragic.
A recent Gallup pool shows that over three fourths of
the public and more than two out of three union members feel
that unions have too much power and should be curbed. phi s
being the case, you would think the leaders of both political
parties in the fact of such a pronounced swing of public opinion would be falling all over themselves for the privilege of
sponsoring legislaticto take the labor bias out of the Wagner Act, the “root of the evil.”
Is this what’s happening? It certainly is not. Our poltical
leaders are still sitting back scared to death of the union leaders. Maybe it’s time for “we, the people” to take a hand.
INVEST IN VICTORY
Progress of the Victory Loan drive may provide a yardstick for gauging the American capacity to make personal sacrifices for the common good without the stimulus of pure emotion. Gone are the appeals that stirred millions to buy war
bonds while the fighting was on—the need to provide money
to buy ships, planes, guns, food and hospital supplies to save
American lives and speed victory. That reason for raising billions of dollars through public loans is—happily—in the past.
. The treasury department could obtain the 11 billion dollar Victory Loan by selling the entire issue to banks and insurance companies. That would be the easy way. But Secretary
Vinson has allotted over a third of the loan—4 billions—to
private buyers on an appeal to public intelligence.
Inflationary pressures are heavy, in this period when
enormous public buying power is pent up through scarcities
and full reconversion to mass production of civilian goods is
months distant. The citizen who resists the temptation to buy
goods still scarce on the market in order to save his money in
Victory Loan bonds is doing his part to pre¥Vent runaway inflation. Some government agencies in their continued exercise
of mandatory powers granted in war time are slowing econom. . JUST WONDERIN’ *
