Insidious Tactics The label has about worn out its effectiveness But ," ," ," all have an ugly connotation. Few Americans want to be lambasted thus and with the other accompanying vituperation. So must people keep their mouths shut, publicly which is precisely the Communists' design. A friend has sent me a little book on Communist tactics in labor unions which has the ring of authenticity. It was written by Karl Baarslag, an A. F. of L. member since 1920. Unlike many current authors in this particular field, Baarslag was never a Communist. He was one of the founders, in 1931, of a radio oper- u""0 uiuuii. wiuiin a iew years it had 1,500 members and was rigidly controlled by a handful of Communists. "There were less than 60 identifiable Communists and possibly 150 to 200 fellow travelers and duDes." Baarsiatr writes. "Among the loval mem bers, the puzzling question arose ean so iew dominate and outwit so many?" There are many answers. This union labor man who is warning America against Communists and their dupes fills his book with answers. Here's one: "Com munists have a very low onininn of the courage of union members in the mass because they know through long experience that the average American worker dislikes controversy and 'trouble' and will stay away from union meetings that are constantly rent by bitter dissension.

If the Chrysler strike cost $1,500,000,000 and 100 days of idleness on the part of the workers, how much could the labor unions and the employers afford to pay to prevent similar losses? The General Motors settlement shows that Collective Bargaining can be made to work. It is a most encouraging event on the road to industrial peace, although very few corporations large or small could afford such a continue settlement.
