Show UTAH LABOR NEWS, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, MARCH nn ml Eaipigi LEAGUE IS PLANNING LOCAL UNITS The workers throughout the United States are united against Tory attacks on the Wagner Labor Relations Act. Despite the action of some reactionary leaders of the A. F. L., members of A. F. L. unions are determined to save Labors Magna Charta. Utah C. 1. O. headquarters in the Beason building in Salt Lake City received a telegram from Lee Pressman, Washington, saying that State Federation has demanded hearings on the Wagner Act, informs Secretary E M. Rovle of the Utah State C. 1. O. Council. The state federations demand was perhaps a robot-lik- e nod to the request of William Green, A. F. L president, who has joined the manufacturers association and other Tories in demanding a hearing oh the amendments offered to the law. The C. I. O. in Utah and other states is opposed to the proposals, which would effect fundamental changes in the Labor Relations Act. The dates for the demanded hearings have not been set, (Continued from Page 1) progressively thinking voters, even though they are not members of labor unions. Many inquiries have come to the state offices of the League from farmers and independent business and professional men regarding membership in the League. Next few days will see the beginning of the League activities with a full speed ahead toward building of a movement that will spell a new freedom in Utah politics in 1940 elections. Leaguers Serve Well The League members who served in .the Legislature made a good record and are able to give a good accounting of their work there. Senator Lawrence E. Nelson, vice chairman of Salt Lake county League unit, was one man in the Senate who was fighting the peoples cause on the floor of the Senate and in the committee rooms day in and day out. He made his voice heard every time the interests of the people were at stake. In the house of represntatives the active League members defended the rights of the people with Brotherhoods Uniting Against Tory Attack although Senate Labor committee' has voted to hold hearings on the proposed amendments, but it has delayed until next Tuesday a decision on when they should start. Thomas Suggests Delay Senator Elbert D. Thomas of Utah, chairman of the Senate Labor committee, has said that a battle between the A. F. L. and the C. I. 0. over changes in the labor law might hinder the present peace negotiations, and, therefore, the date for' hearings should not interfere with peace parleys between the two labor factions. By the time the various bills calling for amendments to the Act come up for congressional hearing, labor will be prepared with a strong united front to ward off the enemies' stabs at the Act, it was predicted by friendly labor leaders. New developments include: 1. Formation of an A. F. L.-I. 0. ' committee in Denver, pledged to fight against any amendments. A. F. 2.

The League has put the reason why workers should oppose all attempts to amend the Wagner Act into a short, snappy leaflet designed for general circulation. Praises Labor Act Your Senators and Congressmen in Washington are being asked to cut your wages, the leaflet reads. They have already slashed the W P A relief appropriation, in spite of President Roosevelts plea for the millions of unemployed. Congress now intends to deal with the employed workers. Your turn is next. The leaflet praises the Wagner Act as an aid in raising wages through legalizing the workers right to join unions, and warns against indifference on the part of workers and progressives to this attack on living standards. If you want lower wages and longer hours, then all you have to do is to sit and say nothing. But if you want to protect your wages and working conditions, youll have to get busy, it says. Labor is being savagely attacked in Washington. Will you defend yourself? Non-Partis- an 7, 1939 Page 3 ft C. 1, 0., A. F.
