DESCHUTES COUNTY, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1952 No; 241 A feed it ires Dim BEND BUI Ma regbtni mm Ike Tells AFL He Favors Changes But Not Repeal of T-H : :: By JOHN L. CUTTER NEW YORK. Sent. 17 UB-Dwieht I. Eisenhower told the American iTeoeration of Labor Wednesday he .'.'favors amendment but not repeal it - the controversial Taft-Hartley .law. The Republican presidential can idldate did not specify in detail the " amendments he would favor. ""'But he said he knows the present law "might be used to break un ; ton" and said, "that must be :, changed." . ' He also said the law's 'require ment of non-Communist oaths from union leaders should be made al so on employers. :vj$:' Recalls Own Role ''After recalling his own role in thV 1946 railroad dispute, Eisen- ..hower said: :fy f't don't want arbitrary power Over either labor or industry. I do siiBt'vbelieve that the president of a free nation can have such power without that nation losing its free dom. ; "My opponent made plain on La iar Day that he wanted power, as president, to comper- arbitration. ,,That Is exactly what I am against. "SIf you want the basic, irrecon cllablc difference between his po , IsiUon and mine, there it is. He and V'bisi party embrace compulsion. I (inject compulsion." ij-i fct Principles Given the other hand, Eisenhower ,HsMd some of the principles he .eels must be retained. These were: 'The encouragement of collective , f bargaining; the right to strike; an advance notice before a strike is recalled; a requirement that both 4mtt)s and employers live up. .to 'ftsiss contracts! the' assurance that . : members of unions get it regular report on their organization's fi nances." ', making his first major labor 'speech of the campaign, Eisen howrr said he did not come before ; f.the i AFL Convention, which has pending a resolution endorsing his 'Jpsinocratic opponent, "to .curry any special favor." 2v'i ' No Change :'V.- "i have not come to bid or com jpete for .your endorsement," he said.

McKlnney nothing crooked in tran sac- been, regardless of the action taken by the AFL at this convention in the matter of endorsing a nresi. dentlal candidate." Eisenhower argued the ReDUbli- can record on labor matters is not as black as the Democrats would paint it. vi, yn-::. He said it was the Republican Party which first established in law the right of labor to organize and bargain collectively in the Railway Labor Act of 1926. ' "It was considered a model law," he said, "until later admin istrations began playing politics with It. That law worked well." "Foolish Dream" He also recalled it was a Repub lican administration which passed the Norris-LaGuardia anti-injunction law. Eisenhower said he has no use for those people, regardless of political party, who have a "foolish dream of spinning the clock back to days when organized labor was a huddled, almost helpless mass." "But it is not only the employer who can exploit workers," he said. "Can labor have forgotten the ex traordinary proposal of the present administration for dealing with a threatened railroad strige? ' "It was the demand from the head of the Democrat Party that the strikers be drafted into the Army." - Of his own rule in that case, in the spring of 1946, Eisenhower said he was resting in Georgia when he got a telephone call from Wash ington .asking him to return im mediately and assume command Pf,. the., draf tied, strikers. Bitter Protest "With a bitter protest, I refus ed." he said. "Then I was told I was considered the only soldier with whom the railway worners would even talk. So I agreed to meet with them. I was a soldier, not a strike breaker." Elsenhower said as far as he knows his presidential opponent, Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson, did not object to drafting strikers into the Army. "His running 'mate, Sen. John J. Sparkman (D-Ala.), voted for it," Eisenhower said. "It was the members of my party in the Senate who finally defeated the proposal." Eisenhower laid great stress on the value of mediation in labor disputes but said that under the present administration it has fal len into disrepute. He said media tion would work only if the men in government are calm and fair minded. "There is no quick cure for ev ery labor dispute," he said. Fundamental Problems "Injunctions, seizures and other such devices will not settle the underlying fundamental problems which cause a strike. Where does the heavy hand of government in tervention push us? ' "It pushes us into the waiting rooms of government officials far removed from the issue. You can guarantee that men so remote from the problem will know prac tically nothing about it." Elsenhower said anyone who talks against injunctions but still is for seizure in dealing with na tional emergencies is "talking out of both sides of his mouth." He said if the government does find it necessary to move into a strike to secure a resumption of operations it should stimulate, not stifle, collective bargaining. "I have talked about the Taft Hartley Act with both labor and industry people," he said. "I know the law might be used to break unions. That must be changed. America wants no law licensing union busting. Neither do I. Same Requirement "I also think that since patriotic American union leaders must cwpnr that they are not Commu nists, then the employers with whom they deal should be subject to the same requirement Eisenhower interrupted his first major whistle-stop tour ot tne cam paign to address the AFL. Prospects were dim that the Re niihlican Dresidential nominee would receive any formal support from the powerful labor organiza tion. Gov. Adlai Stevenson is ex pected to get the nod when the convention votes next Tuesday on its political endorsements for 1952. Eisenhower arrived in New York Tuesday night by chartered plane from St. Paul, Minn., after two days of rear-platform appearances in Indiana. Illinois and Minnesota. He planned to fly to Mollne, HI., tonight to rejoin his 18-car special campaign train.
