“Politics as Usual”
OEXATOR BARKLEY of Kentucky, who is the
administration “whip” in the Senate and the
President's chief legislative spokesman generally,
says in an absurdly illogical document that Con
gress should sidetrack, all labor legislation for the
duration of the war.
Why should as vital a matter to our war work
as proper labor legislation be “sidetracked” while
all other forms of legislation that have to do with
the war are given the green light?
Why is it proper for Congress to regulate
profits of industrialists and not the hours and pay
of those who work in our industries?
Why is it proper for Congress to fix prices
and not to fix hours and pay?
Why is it proper for Congress to raise taxes
to the break-neck point and improper to tell labor
what it shall do to win this vital war?
Why is it propel* to conseript_oiir youth to
fight for us and wrong to issue orders that the
making of implements to defend the lives of these
youths shall not he left to the arbitrary actions of
labor leaders?
<■ * *
OKXAYOR BARKLEY says that labor lcgisla
lion now would tern! to “disunite and divide
our country.”
Would anything tend more quickly to “dis
unite and divide” the country than the creation of
a (lass that is exempt from all orders to which the
rest of the people gladly submit as soldiers in a
mighty civilian army for victory?
Congress has shown over and over that it is
ready to pass legislation that w ill order a 48-hour
week in all war industries.
The people have show n by a constant Bom
bardment of senators and representatives with
letters and telegrams that it desires adequate labor
legislation that will speed—that will double—the
■ ar output.
In the Callup polls SIXTY-THREE RER
(’EXT of those polled said they favored a 48-hour
week and overtime only after the 18 hours had
been worked.
Where, then, is the “disunion?”
CJLXATOR BARKLEY also savs that this de
inand for labor legislation is “inspired?”
“Inspired” by whom?
Certainly not by Congress.
The “industrialists”*of the country are taking
their wartime responsibilities like patriots.
The unions—which, after all, constitute only
about one-tenth of the total working population of
the country—can do no less.
As to “inspiration,” Senator Barkley’s insinua
tions could much better be applied to himself and
■the administration which he represents.
Lor the “inspiration” of the objection to labor
legislation by Congress is found in one word—
POLITICS.
* * *
SPHERE is an election looming next fall, and it is
now apparent that, in order that the Xew Deal
Party shall not antagonize labor leaders and fac
tions, it is quite willing to keep down war produc
tion to the DAXGLR LIXE.
Labor, the people and the “industrialists” have
given a vigorous YES to general unity and to
great sacrifices.
If there is any slack in war production—and
Donald Xelson, chairman of the War Production
Board, says THERE IS—it comes from Senator
Barkley and the other administration politicians,
whose slogan seems to he—to paraphrase Attor
ney General BiddIe—“POLITICS AS USUAL.”

The navy department's com

submarine sent a light cruiser to
the bottom off Christmas Island,

of smashing blows that more than
evened the score for the Japanese

,S. Langley and two other United
'States naval vessels.
Two Tendera Torpedoed
American submarines struck
again in an attack near Christmas '
Island against another enemy j
Icruiser which was crippled with m
