DECLARED OLD IDEAL WASHINGTON.—Although the full employment bill is being pushed through congress into law by a pre¬ ponderant favor for it—and there is no objection to the basic hopefulness of its theory—no one seems to know what it means, or even where it came from. By great odds, it is the most uncertain and unclarified piece of legislation of my time here. I have been calling it a CIO bill because the CIO has cam¬ paigned for it in the usual ex¬ pensive and prepossessing man¬ ner which obscures other back¬ ing and monopolizes the publi¬ city. But CTO planners did not write it. The numerous senators whose names are attached as co-authors will give you little satisfaction if you inquire where they got the notion of passing a law proclaiming the right to work which has always existed, legally, constitutionally and by cus¬ tom. The original draft of their bill was probably composed, as nearly as I can ascertain, by the Farmers Union, farthest left of the three farm¬ ers lobbies and often called the farmer branch of the CIO. But of all things the farmers need right now, a law declaring their right to work must run behind help short¬ ages, equipment shortages, price fears and practically every other ex¬ isting agricultural consideration. The Farmers Union people will say they got the idea out of a speech Mr. Roosevelt made in which he mentioned a lot of rights, including the right to work. But Mr. Roose¬ velt did not say there ought to be a law, and before he mentioned the matter it had gotten into a resolu¬ tion of an international labor office meeting in Philadelphia. Sir Wil¬ liam Beveridge, whose vast social security hopes were swamped in the last election, was an ardent champion of legislation ^loing to declare the right to work, behind and beyond him, an investigation will bring you to the fact that such a right is declared in the Soviet Rus¬ sian constitution. There it has some meaning because under a dictatorship fix¬ ing salaries, controlling hours, renting homes and even cooking and charging for the workers’ meals, while restraining the worker from freedom, a law promising to share whatever work the government gives is a realistic right. But this is all far behind American ideals and rights which already go much further, promising among other things, freedom of work at one place or another and th« right not to work. Even this would not be so perplex¬ ing except that both sponsors and amenders of this right-to-work bill agree it carries no legal rights. Co¬ author Thomas of Utah may not have been pinned down on that point yet, but Co-author Murray and Amender Taft, and all the others, seem agreed no citizen could sue an employer or the government for a job or get out an injunction, or that a labor union could sue, or get the courts to make someone estab¬ lish jobs or wages, hours or any¬ thing. This, they all say, is just a declaration of policy by congress, no matter how it is worked. Its authors particularly deny that it is a trick to establish a legal basis for a whole new conception of law in which the unions or individual work¬ ers could build up decisions through this new Supreme court to indict the government or employers and perhaps establish criminal penal¬ ties. If it does not do this, then what does it do? Well, its spon¬ sors rather frankly indicate they look on it as a political propae ganda step, establishing a pol¬ icy-peg upon which they can hang future legislative demands. Particularly they want big spending appropriations made in the future, and they will then say: “The policy of every man a job has been established so this appropriation must be made to give him a job.” Or they can build up a demand that the Alu¬ minum company be broken up for that reason, or that all black hair be made white because it would create jobs in the hair dyeing industry. This makes it seem unimportant because congress retains the right to appropriate or not appropriate regardless of this undefined declara¬ tion of an unagreed policy. Frank¬ ly, then I do not know what it means, except that everyone will ask for government funds. A decline in work-week is another provision. Plans to cut the govern¬ ment work-week again from 40 (it was 48) to 30 have already been pro¬ posed in bills. This keeps salaries where they were and prevents nor¬ mal utilization of the talents, abili¬ ties and aptitudes of the nation’s manpower. It does not increase pur¬ chasing power or create more em¬ ployment opportunities; it merely shares-the-work, less work for the | nation as a whole, therefore less pro¬ ! ductivity and less tax revenues to sustain a high economy, needed for full employment.
