Newspaper Page TextMEPFORP MATL TRIBUTE. MEPFORD OREGON'. FRIDAY. A PR IT j 16. 1S37. PAGE FIVE Comment on the Day 's News By FRANK . JENKINS A 8 defined by Chief Justice Hughes In the supreme court's epochal decision of Monday, the purpose of the Wagner labor relations met 1 to "safeguard the right of employes to self -organization and to select repre sentatives of their own choosing" to bargain with employers regarding wages, hours and working conditions. THAT Is a fair and reasonable pur- pose. If employers have (and they cer a talnly DO have) the right to get to getner In organizations and bargain with the public, employes have the right to organize and choose repre sentatives to bargain with their employers. nusiNESS Is bigger and more closely organized than It used to be. and the expressed purpose of the Wagner labor relations act la to en able employes to meet bigness with bigness and to meet organization with organization. The employes organization Is the union, and the Wagner labor relations act strengthens and back up the unions In their dealings with em ployers, giving them powers they had not previously possessed. TNFORTUNATELY. the Wagner act, while conferring greatly added powers upon the unions, does not Impose corresponding RESPON SIBILITIES upon them. Thus we have seen the strange spectacle of the sit-down strike, in which the property of employers Is seized and held for ransom and when the employer appeals to the law In an effort to get back possession of what is admittedly his property the unions refuse to comply with the orders of the courts until their de mands are met. While this la going on, the public has to tit by helpless and suffer. That Is what comes of power with out responsibility. THE Wagner labor relations act Is an .effort to accomplish some thing that ought to be accomplished. In a world In which business la big and closely organized, labor can not hope to secure Its rights unless It also Is big and closely organized. But In a civilization that is based upon law, and in which the public , holds the balance of power, labor can not hope to secure Its rights unless its leaders are willing at the same time to acknowledge their RESPON SIBILITIES. If things go on as they have been going on, labor will lose the sym pathy of the public, and if that hap pens It will lose far more than It has gained by the Wagrer labor re lations act. npHE Wagner act is the law of the 1 land, adopted by the repreaenta- tlvea of the people and now upheld by the highest court. All good citi zens hope that under It the rights of labor may be made secure and lasting Industrial peace may be brought about. But if that la to be accomplished, labor must have leadership that will not only accept and use the powers conferred upon it but at the same time will accept and acknowledge the y responsibilities that go with power. The Wagner act is not specific enough on that point. , 3 Simple Steps to Give You Biscuit Knack hard winter.
