SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.50 Six Months ^0 Three Months *50 (Strictly la Advance.) THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1937 Enemies of Labor. Because he warned the C. I. 0. that he Would use “ail resources of the State” to prevent seizure of plant prop erty by “sit-down” strikers in New Jersey, Governor Hoffman has been denounced by labor organizations as “an enemy of labor” and “the strike breakers’ candidate for president." The greatest enemies of labor are those ultra-radical leaders who advo cate the abrogation of property rights and the substitution therefor of the right to trespass, as witness the recent sitdown strike in General Motor plants and elsewhere. Next in line of labor’s enemies are those spineless public of ficials who supinely allow the strikers to flaunt the orders of the courts. It is a safe bet that the sit-down strikers in induatrial plants would be among the first to resist a sit- down strike by servants in their own homes and to cry loudly for law en forcement officers to protect their property against trespassers. In this connection, it is interesting to note that one of the soft coal oper ators, whose mines are now threaten ed with strikes, came up from the ranks of the miners and, being unable to see eye to eye with John L. Lewis, is resisting that labor chief’s detnands for shorter hours and higher wages. Strikers should remember that, un- <fer our American form of government, the employe of today may be the em ployer of tomorrow, and they should be the last to challenge the authority o fthe courts and those charged with the enforcement of court orders. .
