CRITICIZES USE. | OF CORPORATION

POLITICAL CASH

zal

Givi Liberties Committee “Report on N. A. M. May = React in Congress.

By LUDWELL DENNY i Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 17. — Congressional efforts to curb the alleged . ‘use of corporation funds indirectly for political purposes were forecast today, following a Senate Civil Lib- - erties Committee report attacking the National Association of Man--ufacturers. «The LaFollette-Thomas report. on ‘the N. A. M. was the third of four ot ‘the labor policies of employeS’ associations, and part of the lafger investigation of violations of labor's civil liberties. With its new appropriation the Committee soon wu resume its investigation, pararly on the Pacific Coast. : .In- its report the Committee reserved the right to recommend remedial legislation. “The pending LaFollette-Thomas bill would outlaw employer use of labor spies, ‘espionage, strikebreakers and industrial munitions.

"The report charged that a small minority of powerful corporations used the N. A. M. and the affiliated National Industrial Coun¢il' “for a national program of empioyer “opposition to ' labor unions and to governmental action to improve conditions of labor,” particularly the Wagner Act.

N. A. M. Points to Record

~ In reply the N. A. M. said the record refuted the report, criticized the committee for failure to cover alleged coercion of workers by certain unions and labor leaders, and complained of Government interference with business liberties.

“More surprising than the antiunion charges against the N. A. M., which had been presented in differen} form in some of the committee's earlier reports, was the emphasis on political implications of the use of | corporation funds to indirectly influence public opinion.and elections. “After naming Du Pont, General ators, National Steel, U. S. Steel, donsanto Chemical, Westinghouse, Lg Bethlehem Steel, Texas Borg-Wagner, Republic Steel, Socony-Vacuum, Swift and others as leading financial contributors to the N. A. M,, the committee reported:

-“In some cases the N. A. M. has | contrived to arrange for the spon- | sorship of its propaganda by others, for the purpose of misleading the public into believing that it came from an independent source. Much of this propaganda is intended to influence the public with reference to elections, and officials of the association hae boasted that its prop.aganda has influenced the political

opinions of millions of citizens, and |

affected their choice of candidates for Federal offices.” . . .

Most Employers Praised

While condemning a small minority of employers, the report praises the majority as follows: “The majority of American businessmen today have conformed to the national labor policy and have pot interfered with the right of labor to organize for collective bargaining. Even in the inner elique of corporations in the N. A. » there have been outstanding examples of industrial statesmansHip since 1937. Certain of the most

powerful corporations in the coun- |§

ry have in good faith entered into collective bargaining agreements. .'. . An intransigent minority of powerful corporations continues to oppose the right of employees to organize. . . . These corporations still occupy dominant positions in the N. A. M.”
