: Conservatives: Given Littell
~ Encouragement: From - Conventions.
By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Writer
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—Politicians with their eyes on 1940 are
trying to forecast mow the labor vote on the basis of the A. F. of L. convention in Cincinnati. and the
|€. 1. O. convention in San Fran-
cisco. Republicans naturally are rejoicing over the A. PF, of L. and C. I. O. attacks on" New Deal agencies. And Democrats are grum- . | bling about “biting the hand that feeds you.” But it does not not follow that the organized la‘bor ‘vote will go" to the is 2, i ans in the 1940 élections. Indeed YUdwell Denny the best guess is that New Deal candidates will continue to get more union votes than their: opponents.
Of course there is no such thing as a solid labor vote—any more than a solid women’s vote, or. a solid farm vote, or a solid any other kind. But there is more of a “labor” vote now, with a total union membership of eight million, than there was when union membership was under four million.
“Delivery” More Difficult
- It is increasingly difficult, however, for any labor leader to “de-
whose labor record is bad in the eyes. of the rank-and-file. As for the rank-and-file who do the voting, it is interesting that many C. I. O. state and local organ-
have. indorsed the New Deal and even. a third term for President Roosevelt. When the question is asked why the :C. I. ©. “convention in San Francisco Pointedly irefrained from
term; it is pointed:out that John L. Lewis: dictates—~and ‘that he considers this good trading strategy. At the moment there is just one issue: on which President Roosevelt needs very much the support of the
and Mr. Green delivered for .the President on this. Agencies Attacked It is also ‘emphasized that the
attacks were not against the President or the New Deal as. such, but against certain administrative agencies such as the National Labor Relations Board, the Social Security Board, and the Labor Department.
lc. 1. 0. and A F. of L. convention criticism seems to indicate that organized labor. “wants more rather than less New Dealism—whatever the party label of the administra tion handing it out. So there is little encouragement from organized labor for the conservative politicians, whether Old Guard Repub-
