NEW YORK, Sept. 3 (U. P.).— Democratic National Chairman Edward J. Flynn said today that “it certainly is not Wendeli L. Willkie's | fault” that free labor unions exist jin America and charged that labor policies of utilities companies for/merly headed by the G. O. P. Presidential candidate were characterized by “violence, coercion and chican- | ery.” | Replying to Mr. Willkie's Labor Day message in which he congratu{lated workers on the circumstances funder which unions are periaitted [to exist, Mr. Flynn listed a series of |charges against the companies. “It is true,” Mr. Flynn said, “that {in one speech Willkie described himIself as “a member of big business |who never hired a labor spy. . . . But we have the evidence before the {La Follette investigating committee | (that Mr. Willkie's Georgia Power | (Co. spent $31,000 on labor spies from | {the Pinkerton’s; that Willkie’s Central Ilinois Light Co. bought guns and tear gas shells; that no fewer than three of the Willkie companies were clients of the biggest espionage agency devoted solely to industrial work.” He admitted that “perhaps the Republican candidate did not himself hand over the pay for the labor spies, but the records of the Senrte committee that dug into such matters disclosed that seven out of 10 of the subsidiaries of the power trust of which Mr. Willkie was president were clients of the ‘notorious spy agencies that specialize in the de-| struction of labor's rights and liberties.” Mr. Flynn also charged that “the National Labor Relations Board found Willkie's Consumer's Power and Alabama Power guilty of inter. fering with the rights of their em-| ployvees.” | “The instances of the hostility tn and aggression against the labor
