Show WESTBROOK PEGLER Unionism at Its Worst I SHALL ever thank Dan Tobin for a perfect, all-purpose example of the stupidity of the unionism that was imposed upon the Americans by the late Roosevelt who, to do him justice, probably did not know the whole meaning of his acts. Tobin's union, the Teamsters of the AFL, bars not only Communists but partial Communists who believe selectively In parts of Communism, and all members of all "other subversive organizations." Tobin yields to none In his reverence for The Memory, and few of his brethren would deny that he Is qualified to go forth and bumble the master's word. His finest hour came the night when he stood host to Franklin In the Statler hotel in the fall of '44 while moosejaw cackled about bis dog, and venerable tdsspota at the board busted glasses for emphasis. The Teamsters' Union is an ideal reservation for the loose confinement of a million head of Little People, according to Mr. Big's ideas. He indicated his approval of old Dan's work many times, usually ln mischievous mis-chievous compliments, purposely made extravagant for ludicrous effect. It amused him to provoke Tobin's vanity, and he was always tossing the old walrus a herring or a mullet to make him flap his flippers on his tub. |
