ATTACK ON LABOR UNIONS " t Testimony of N. F. Thompson Before the Industrial Commission. Qe 8^y? They Are the Greatest Menacc to the Government That Exists ?Suggested Legislation. Washington, D. C. (Special).?Before the United States Industrial Commission N. F. Thompson, secretary of the Southern Industrial Convention, made a sensational attack upon labor unions: "Labor organizations are -to-day," he declared, "the greatest menace to this Government that exists inside and outside the pale of our national domain. Their influence for disruption and disorganization of society is far more dangerous to the perpetuation of our Government In its purity and power than would . be the hostile TSUSG-U-YAMEN. kin, where the great mafedirlns n(Wt--AQC id Ministers are received,} . array on our borders pf the arinlei of the entire world combined.",'^' ; i Jlr. Thompson declared that he made this statement after years /of- ptoB< study, embracing the princlpal\i?Ju& trial centres both of the North*ajui the'South? In stfft>ort of his state ment he said that "on every liana: and for the slightest provocation, all , classes of organized labor stand ready ; to Inaugurate a strike, with all its at tendant evils;" He maintained that "organizations teaching such theories should be hel<f as treasonable in their character, an<! their leaders worse than traitors tc their country;" Mr. Thompson said that many laboi leaders are open and avowed Social ists; that their organizations arc weak ening the ties Of citizenship among thousands of our people in that the/ have no other standard of community obligations than what these orgaiiiza tiorra inculcate; that they are bringing reproach upon the judicial tribunals of our country by public abuse of thest tribunals and often open defiance of their judgments and decrees, thus " * * J ? .1-1 <*/> seeking to DreaK qowu iub um.r nmc guards of a free people." The remedy for these evils lies, he sakL principally, In a, correct publk sentiment touching the relations thai should exist between labor and capital. A uniform law thjat would talM the individual workmap out from un der any ban of reproach, such ai "scab" or "black list,!' he thought would aid in reestablishing correct ro lations between labor) and capital. "A further law," he added, "shoulc be enacted that woul,d make it justi flahle homicide for any killing that oc cufed in defense of any lawful occu pation." In view of the close relationship exiting nmonic all classes of oar citizens and the interdependence of ali interests, strikes and boycotts, h? thought, should be made a felony but by..national and State legislation. \ *?
