Autocratic Powers Charged
Referni'.ir - i "Attorney General
Palmer"s cont ntion thai new laws are
lecessary to reach the individual who
advocate.- ? | | ition to the govern
?aent by violence," Mr. Gompers cited
Section J of tl ? IV nal Code, and asked:
"if revolution is afoot, why has not
tie Department ol Justice made prose?
cutions under that section?"
ectior, .i of the bill, unbelievable
u it may seem," he continued, "may
?easily construed to mean, if indeed
; does not make it a crime, so vague
ud involved is the terminology, to
:?r in public any button of an organi
ition whose purpose it i- to secure
i amendment to the Constitution of
?Un ted S'.at- s on any existing Fed
li Ih.t.
"Section 6 perpetuates the censor
:;p of the Postmaster General over
.'. newspapers and printed matter.
At so-called Bojah amendment, pro?
ving a court review of the Postmaster
I
General's act ton, is sound in principle
!>u; is inadequate to afford protection
as ti practical mut ter to a publisher
against the autocratic action of the
Postmaster General.
'"More amazing still, the proviso
sets up u> censorship over any man'
private correspondence by the Post
muster General, h would be criminal,
for example, for ti man to send a
letter advocating resistance to nti in?
junction issued by u Federal judge
ordering workers on strike to go bacn
to work.
"Moreover, this section can be used
to prevent the organization of colored
labor on the grounds of inciting racial
pr?judice, the intended or probable
result of which appeal is to cause
rioting, etc' No doubt advocacy of,
or opposition to, the cause of Irish
freedom, in some sections, would be
prohibited.
"Section 7 would exclude from this
country, even for libraries and investi?
gators, a large portion of the labor IK*
erature of Europe.
"Sections !'. lu and 11 contain a
grave threat aimed at labor. Section 0
makes unlawful every association which
seeks 'directly or indirectly' to make
a political change by injury to private
property.
"It is unhappily true that even a
legitimate strike may result in indi?
rect injury to the employers' private
property right in his business. The re?
cent steel and coal strikes were both
falsely heralded as attempts to over?
throw our government.
"If a hostile Federal judge should de?
cide that any particular strike has a
political end in view and the striking
union is 'affiliated' with the American
Federation of Labor, the American
Federation of Labor would be com?
pelled at once to expel the striking
union or itself become unlawful. And
it would at once become a crime pun?
ishable by up to twenty years' impris?
onment, or up to $20,000 tine, or both.
for any person anywhere in the nation
to rent a hall or business oflice to any
labor organization affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor, or to
give or lonn it money to send strike
relief to staving women and children."
