that vision should be clear, and that goals should be right and true. | Here in this lesson we have that | clear insistence, which is the glory | of the New Testament, upon the | sort of religion that a nation needs. It is, first of all, a religion in| which a man takes account of his | fellowman. The religion of selfishness has no place in a nation’s | life. Selfishness ruins and destroys | nations. So,

in the harvest that | represented the people's living and | continuance, it was established in | this religion of Israel that men | should not reap wholly for them- | selves. They must not be greedy | and grasping to the Wisregard of the | needs of others, and particularly of | the poor. ” ” » O the true Israelite was ordered | not to reap in the last corner of his field, nor to glean the last | fruit from his vineyard. He was | to leave there something for the | poor and the needy, and God was | represented as the upholder of this sort of consideration for others. Then, in a true society, there must be recognition not only of needs, but of rights. Men in a sound society should have a religion that will not permit them to steal from one another, to deal

ancient societies it was the custom to expose to death the old and the handicapped, but in this religion of Israel, there was consideration for the handicapped, the deaf, the blind, the weak, and the aged. What a noble conception it is, and how much in contrast with pagan attitudes and practices that persist in our modern world.

HE true children of God are not the exploiters of their fellowmen, even though they wmay amass great wealth and power; the true children of God are those who are concerned first of all about justice and kindness and the helpfulness that the strong can give the weak and the needy. The religion a nation needs is a religion also of mercy and of magnanimity, Vengeance plays a large part even in our conceptions of justice today, but the justice of God is different, and there is no place ior vengeance or for grudge in the life of a people who would be the children of God. Nor was this religion of Israel to be a religion of narrow and selfcentered patriotism. Even the stranger was fo be well and kindly treated. Just balances, just weights, honesty in all dealings, these are basic in a true social religion, and upon this basis of common honesty is built the larger recognition of all God's laws and His purposes.

—Text of John L. Lewis Speech—

| WASHINGTON, Sept. 3 ! (U, P.)—The text of the ad- | dress of John L. Lewis, chair-

' man of the Committee for In-

| dustrial Organization follows:

Out of the agony and travail of economic America the Committee for Industrial Organization was born. To millions of Americans, exploited without stint by corporate industry and socially debased beyond the understanding of the fortunate, its coming was as welcome as the dawn to the night watcher. To a lesser group of Americans, infinitely more fortunately situated, blessed with larger quantities of the world's goods and insolent in their assumption of privilege, its coming

of unclean objec-

of purpose, and nonvirtuous

sinister methods | tives. But the Comittee for Industrial Organization is here. It is now and henceforth a definite instrumentality, destined greatly to influence the lives of our people and the internal and external course of the republic. This is truly ,only because the purpose and objectives of the Committee for Industrial Organization find economic, social, political and moral justification in the hearts of the milions who are its members and the millions more who support it.

CITES ‘SELFISHNESS’

The organization and constant reonward sweep of this movement exemplifies the resentment of the many toward the selfishness, greed and the neglect of the few. The | workers of the nation were tired of waiting for corporate industry to right their economic wrongs, to alleviate their social agony and | to grant them their political rights. | Despairing of fair treatment, they | resolved to do something for themselves. They, therefore, have organ|ized a new labor movement, con- | ceived within the principles of the | national Bill of Rights and com-

mitted to the proposition that the | workers are free to assemble in their own forums, voice their own grievances, declare their own hopes | and contract on even terms with the [tiers industry for

labor, | ganization has a numerical enroll[ment of 3,718,000 members. It has

| 32 affiliated national and interna- | conflicts which have occurred have |

( tional unions. Of this number 11 | unions account for 2,765,000 mem- ! bers. This group is organized in the | textile, auto, garment, lumber, rub- | ber, electrical manufacturing, pow- | er, steel, coal and transport indus- ( tries. The remaining membership | exists in the maritime, oil produc- | tion and refining, shipbuilding, | leather, chemical, retail, meat pack- | ing, vegetable canning, metalliferous | mining, miscellaneous manufacturling, agricultural labor, and service

and miscellaneous industries.

LISTS UNION CHARTERS

| | Some 200,000 workers are organized into 507 chartered local units not, yet attached to a national industrial union. This record bespeaks progress. It is a development without precedent [in our own country. Some of this work accomplished with the enlightened co-operation or the tolerant acquiescence of employers who recognized that a new labor move- | ment was being forged and who

| were not disposed, in any event, to |

| flout the law of the land. On the | other hand, much of this progress | was made in the face of violent and

deadly opposition which reached its |

[climax in the slaughter of workers

{ paralleling the massacres of Lud- |

[low and Homestead. In the steel industry the corporations generally have accepted col- | lective bargaining and negotiated | wage agreements with the Com- | mittee for Industrial Organization. | Eighty-five per cent of the industry | ful relationship exists between the | management and workers. Written | wage contracts have been negotiated | with 399 steel companies covering [510,000 men, and 1031 #¥pcal lodg [in 700 communities have been or- | ganized.

CHARGES SPY TACTICS

| Five of the corporations in the | steel industry elected to resist col- | lective bargaining and undertook

| to destroy the steel workers’ union. |

| These companies filled their plants | with industrial spies, assembled de- | pots of guns and gas bombs, estab- | lished barricades, controlled thelr | communities with armed hirelings, | leased the police power of cities and | mobilized the military power of a | state to gliard them against the in[SLs of collective bargaining { within their plants. During this strike 18 steel workers were either shot to death or had their brains clubbed out by police, or armed hirelings in the pay of the steel companies. In Chicago, Mayor Kelly's police force was successful in killing 10 strikers before they could escape the fury of the police, shooting eight of them in the back. {One hundred sixty strikers were | maimed and injured by police clubs, | riot guns and gas bombs and were hospitalized. Hundreds of strikers were arrested, jailed, treated with brutality while incarcerated and harassed by succeeding litigation. None but strikers were murdered, gassed, injured, jailed or maltreated. No one had to die except the workers who were standing for the right guaranteed them by the Congress and written in the law,

DENOUNCES DAVEY

Davey of Ohio, successful in the last electon because of his reiterated promises of fair treatment of labor, used the military power of the commonwealth on the side of the Republic Steel Co., and the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. Nearly half of the staggering military expenditure incident to the crushing of this strike in Ohio was borne by the Federal Government through the allocation of financial aid to the military establishment of the state. The steel workers now have buried their dead, while the widows weep and watch their orphaned children become objects of public charity.

religion,

The murder of these unarmed men

was heralded as a harbinger of ill, |

has never been publicly rebuked by any authoritative officer of the state or Federal Government. Some of them, in extenuation, plead lack of jurisdiction, but murder as a crime against the moral code can always be rebuked without regard to the niceties of legalistic jurisdiction by those who profess to be the keepers of the public conscience, |

Shortly after Kelly's police force in Chicago had indulged in their bloody orgy, Kelly came to Wash- | ington looking for political patron- | age. That patronage was forthcoming and Kelly must believe that the killing of the strikers is no liability in partisan politics, Meanwhile, the steel puppet | Davey is still Governor of Ohio, | but not for long I think-—not for | long. The people of Ohio may be | relied upon to mete out political | justice to one who has betrayed | his state, outraged the public conscience and besmirched the public | honor,

While the men of the steel industry were going through blood and gas in defense of their rights and their homes and their families, elsewhere on the far-flung C. I. O. front the hosts of labor were advancing and intelligent and permanent progress was being made. In scores of industries plant after plant and company after company were negotiating sensible working agreements.

assurance of a sound and permanent prosperity. In this connection let me call at= tention to the propaganda which some of our industrialists are carrying on among the farmers. By pam= phlets in the milk cans or attached to machinery and in countless other ways of direct and indirect approach, the farmers of the nation are being told that the increased price of farm machinery and farm supplies is due to the rising wage level brought about by the Com mittee for Industrial Organization, And yet it is the industrial millions of this country who constitute the substantial market for all agricul tural products. The interests of tha two groups are mutually dependent,

APPEAL TO FARMERS

It is when the payroll goes down that the farmer's realization is di= minished, so that his loans become the bank and the arrival of the tax collector is awaited On the other hand it is the prosperity of the farmer that

| quickens the tempo of manufactur-

ing activities and brings buying power to the millions of urban and industrial workers. As we view the years that have passed this has always been true and it becomes increasingly imperative that the farm population and the millions of work« ers in industry must learn to come bine the strength for the attaine ment of mutual and desirable objec tives, and at the same time learn to guard themselves against the sinister propaganda of those who would divide and exploit them. Under the banner of the Come mittee for Industrial Organization American labor is on the march. Its

LABOR ‘KEEPS FAITH’

| Workers have kept faith in | American institutions. Most of the

If there | is to be peace in our industrial life let the employer recognize his obli- | gation to his employees—at least | to the degree set forth in existing | statutes. Ordinary problems affect[ing wages, hours, and working conditions. In most instances, will

in the council room. The United States Chamber of | Commerce, the National Association (of Manufacturers, and similar | groups representing industry and financial interests, are rendering a disservice to the American people in their attempts to frustrate the organization of labor and in their refusal to accept collective bargaining as one of our economic institutions, These groups dre encouraging a systematic organization of vigilante groups to fight unionization under the sham pretex of local interests. They equip these vigi~ lantes with tin hats, wooden clubs, gas masks and lethal weapons and

and oppression. They bring in snocps, finks, hatchet gangs and

| chowderhead Cohens to infest their |

plants and disturb the communities. | Fascist organizations have launched and financed under shabby pretext that the C. I. O.

| osophies subversive of good citizen- | take |

{ DENIES RED CHARGE

| No tin hat brigade of goose- | stepping vigilantes or bible-dab- { bling mob of blackguarding and corporation-paid scoundrels will prevent the onward march of labor, {or divert its purpose to play its | natural and rational part in the development of the economic, po- | litical and social life of our nation.

Unionization, as opposed to Com- | munism, presupposes the relation of employment; it is based upon the wage system, and it recognizes | fully and unreservedly the institu- | tion of private property and the | right of investment profit, It is {upon the fuller development of col- | lective bargaining, the wider expansion of the labor movement, the | increased influence of labor in our [ national councils, that the perpetuity of our democratic institutions | must largely depend. The organized | workers of America, free in their

industrial life, conscious partners |

in production, secure in their homes and enjoying a decent standard of living, will prove the finest bulwark against the intrusion of alien doctrines of government.

Do those who have hatched this foolish cry of Communism in the C. I. O. fear the increased influence of labor in our democracy? Do they fear its influence will be cast on the side of shorter hours, a better system of distributed employment, better homes for the under-privi-leged, social security for the aged, a fairer distribution of the national | income?

been | the |

movement is communistic, The real |

objectives today are those it had in the beginning: To strive for the unionization of our unorganized mil« lions of workers and for the accep= tance of collective bargaining as a | recognized American institution. It | seeks peace with the industrial | world. It seeks co-operation and | mutuality of effort with the agri cultural populations. It would avoid | strikes, It would have its rights de= termined under the law by the | peaceful negotiations and contract | relationships that are supposed to | characterize American commercial life. Until an aroused public opin= ion demands that employers accept that rule, labor has no recourse but | to surrender its rights or struggle | for their realization with its own | economic power,

| PLEDGES ARE SACRED

| The objectives of this movement | are not political in a partisan sense. | Yet it is true that a political party which seeks the support of labor | and makes pledges of good faith to | labor must, in equity and good conscience, keep that faith and redeem | those pledges. The spectacle of [august and dignified members of | Congress, servants of the people and | agents of the Republic, skulking in | hallways and closets, hiding their | faces in a party caucus to prevent | & quorum from acting upon a labor measure, is one that emphasizes the | perfidy of politicians and blasts the | confidence of labor’s millions in po- | litician’s promises and statesmen’s VOWS.

Labor next year cannot avoid the necessity of a political assay of the work and deeds of its so-called friends and its political beneficiaries. It must determine who are its friends in the arena of politics as elsewhere. It feels that its cause is just and that its friends should not view its struggle with neutral detachment or intone constant crite icism of its activities. Those who chant their praises of democracy but who lose no chance to drive their knives into labor's defenseless back must feel the weight of labor's woe even as its open adversaries must ever feel the thrust of labor's power. Labor, like Israel, has many SOrrows. Its women weep for their fallen | and they lament for the future of | the children of the race. It ill be- | hooves one who has supped at lae | bor’s table and who has been shele | tered in labor's house to curse with | equal fervor and fine impartiality both labor and its adversaries when | they become locked in deadly ems | brace. | I repeat that labor seeks peace (and guarantees its own loyalty, but { the voice of labor, insistent upon its | rights, should not be annoying to the ears of justice or offensive to | the conscience of the American | people.

WHAT LABOR WANTS

Certainly the workers that are being organized want a voice in the determination of these objectives

of social justice, Certainly labor wants a fairer | share in the national income. As- | |

| | |

suredly labor wants a larger participation in increased productive efficiency. Obviously the population is | entitled to participate in the fruits | of the genius of our men of achivement in the field of the material | sciences. Labor has suffered just | as our farm population has suffered from a viciously unequal distribution of the national income. In the exploitation of both classes of workers has been the source of panic and depression, and upon the eco-

nomic welfare of both rests the best
