propose them. 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.

CONO. 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 .

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. As long as
