WASHINGTON (UNS) Sharp denunciation of Governor Nelson G. Kraschel of Iowa was expressed by Eli Oliver, executive of Labors in League, criticizing the governor for opening the Maytag plant in Newton, la., with bayonets of the state National Guard. Workers recently returned to the plant after a prolonged strike wage cut. Every against a 10 effort to obtain arbitration of the strike was blocked by the attitude of the company which refused even to discuss the issue. The strike was marked by a g series of attempts on the part of the company, which failed when the 1600 workers marched back to the plant with their union lines intact. Governor Aids Boss Before the forcible opening of the plant Governor Kraschel tried to defy federal authority in re-- ( Continued on Page 3) union-bustin- Cents Per Copy n formation, and to offer support for those candidates supported by La bors League.

Primary election returns offer no evidence of even a slight swing. On the contrary they show that these New Deal United States are still New Deal.

Thus supporting fan regardless of the kept press propaganda to the contrary, the New Dealers have been nominated in state after state where primaries have been held. In many instances reactionaries were defeated for renomination by New Dealers. One of the most notable recent victories was won in Ohio primaries. The defeat of Governor Martin L. Davey in the Ohio primaries, together with the imposing list of victories of Labor's League-endorse- d candidates in this , and other states, is a spectacular demonstration of the political influence of the labor movement of America today. Davey chose to make C. I. O. labor the issue in the elections, and the labor voters of Ohio took him up on it. Every progressive labor union in the state became a campaign headquarters in the drive to eliminaae the strikebreaking governor. The man who used the troops to break the Little Steel strike and who constantly bragged of his hatred for the C. I. O., made some contribution to the cause of progress, however, before he completed his political suicide. He made voting against him a pleasure as well as a duty for labor voters. And the brazen frankness with which he maintained his anti-labstand aided immeasurably in building the n of the Labors organization League which accomhis defeat. plished Davey went out on a rotten limb and actualaided labor to cut it off. The political tree of Ohio is the ly healthier both for his removal and for the vigorous organization which has developed in the struggle to remove him. Among other things, the defeat of Davey shows that sabotage by reactionary A. F. L. leaders is an obstacle which labor can overcome politically. ... In the face of Daveys notorious strikebreaking in the steel strike and his attacks on the rubber workers and other unions, Ohio A. F. L. leaders actually declared that as governor he had maintained a 100 per cent labor record and was entitled to labor support. William Green went out of his way to show his personal friendship to Davey. But the A. F. L. rank and file membership in Ohio were not so easily deceived.
