YOUR /ait r i f t ara YOUR responsibility
Let’s work out a way to get — and keep
— industrial peace and prosperity.
THE
F IR S T
STEP
Isn’t a sound national labor policy . . .
one that treats workers and manage
ment exactly alike and above all one
that is fair to the public . . . the first step
toward that peace?
Sincerely believing this to he so, we
offer this program for peace and pro
duction and prosperity:
1. M ake employers and unions equal
in responsibility under the law.
2. Let Congress set the rules for genu
ine collective bargaining, free from
coercion and violence, and then let gov
ernment enforce these rules with strict
impartiality.
3. Provide safeguards for the public
against strikes or boycotts arising from
disputes between unions.
4. Insure against strikes until all order
ly procedures for settling disputes have
been exhausted.
Y our representatives in Congress have
the power to establish this pattern for
an enduring and a fair labor peace. Let
them know how you Ieel about it. Urge
them to act promptly on legislation to
include these four points.
Tim e alone won’t bring industrial peace.
Doing nothing won’t bring it. Positive
action is the only way. F or your own
sake and for the future of our country,
let your voice he heard 1
F R IS ! 4 timely, authoritative booklet entitled "The Public and Indus
trial Peace,” gives f u ll details of this program, including specific sugges
tions fo r legislation. It is a useful handbook f o r every citigeu, program
