Years of experience have demonstrated the relative» fu til ity of addressing petitions and mass appeals to congressmen bent upon shackling labor. The obvious, simple solution is to send better, more rep resentative congressmen to Congress. CONG. H O F F M A N C H A LL1N G R S : Assuming state legislatures and Con gress have passed laws w ith arbi tra ry restrictions affecting labor the like assumption must be accepted as to legislation affecting other groups. The remedy to not, as suggested by M r. M urray, the formation and action of a labor political party. That course would but array against labor all groups unfavorably affected by la bor’s demands. Labor’s remedy to not to create a class Issue but to select as legislative representatives men of sound judgment, of intelligence, of unquestioned integrity and indepen dence ana to them present labor’s de mands. Legislative agents possessing those characteristics w ill give to labor ‘’equal justice under law ” which to all any group to entitled to by way of legislation. MR. MURRAY REPLIES: Most Americans are workers. The only d if ference between organized workers and unorganized workers to that the organized have a pow erful medium for making their wants known. Want« of both organized «nd unorganized are the some— bread and butter, se curity, peace among others. Where those wants can be m et by collective bargaining the union serves as rep resentative. W here those wants must be met by legislation then the union can and must serve as a medium of political action. Organized action by union members has improved stand ards and conditions fo r all workers whether organized or unorganized. Political action by union members w ill sim ilarly serve the best interests of all Americans.

HOFFMAN OPENS: Assum ing the question to: Should a labor union, as an organization, engage In political activities?—4he answer to no! The reason: It a unloo^or any other organization as a group, adopts politi cal action as a part of Its program, it loses its effectiveness as a labor or ganization. An illustration: Veterans* organizations, farm organizations and many others have always had as their chief purpose enactment and enforce ment of* legislation which would se- flU to which they believed to e m -lv e . enBtled. f l u , U t two-part, (J o w fm - ment'The ortantoation Which carries political campaigns s h o rtly find! Itself a political party. Ineffective as a represen tative o f the 'kroup whose advancement it was organized to pro mote. Political parties advocate the adoption of certain political theories. The purpose of a labor union to to better the w orker’s condition and opportunity. Just as the Church and the State should be kept separate, labor unions and political parties should be completely divorced from each other. No man can serve two masters and do a good job for either. I f unions desire to form a political party, adopt the name of labor union party or use any other designation, no fault can be found. I f that be done, then the union is engaging in dual activities and- the political aspect w ill overshadow and interfere with the exercise of the strictly union func*«oa and it w ill become just another po litical party, supported by. and only by, those who believe In Ito political theories. MR. M U R R A Y C H A LLE N G E S: When a congressman states—as one did— that any labor organizer enter ing his district would be ridden out on a rail It behooves labor, organ ized or unorganized, to look to the political field. It to necessary, for ex ample, to be certain that there is a sheriff who w ill protect constitutional rights— even of a union organizer—a mayor who w ill be sure that his po lice chief to not looking the other way and a judge who w ill not fine the ra il-rid e r for disturbing the peace. P olitical action by labor unions to ts basic as that. CONG. H O F F M A N R EPLIES: A statement that a labor organizer should be ridden on a ra il is absurd. Equally absurd and an insult to the intelligence and patriotism of the voters to the Intim ation that an hon- est mayor, sheriff or judge cannot or w ill not be elected unless labor acts as a political organization.
