M ith the shift of the ha'ance
of control to the Republican side
of the cham bers a fte r the recent
elections, there seems to be every
reason to believe that the 80th
Congress, which begins proceed
ings in Jan u ary , will put a mucn
needed brake on the helter-
skelter antics of the handful of
labor leaders who have virtually
controlled the country’s economic
system fo r the past few years.
It hag been the apparent policy
of the New Deal to shower or
ganized labor with privileges,
while placing the brunt of re
sponsibility upon m anagement.
In the last nnalysis, the produc-
e-s are responsible for a peace
time production t i fulfill the
reeds of the puhli-. while irre
sponsible labor leaders have
ham strung their effo rts with no
consideration Whatsoever for the
resulting '•haos in the w elfare of
the nation.
The G. O. P. cannot pass legis
lation to cripple completely the
fundam ental principles of labor’«
well-founded rights, but they will
have to come to some solution
to the problem of forcing the
power mad labor leaders to ac
