Abstract

Broun's Page

Without pointing too markedly in the direction of any individual, the author thinks that some radical leaders have erred in leaping at the conclusion that all those who espoused Labor's Non-Partisan League did so with the naive notion that the reelection of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt would solve all the problems of the worker. The author does not know a single leader in the Congress of Industrial Organization group who is animated by any such notion. Labor's chief job at the moment is to organize as rapidly as possible along the economic front. Politics will have to be shoved aside for the time being. Quite obviously the drive in steel did take on the aspect of getting out votes for Roosevelt and proving to the workers that even though they lived in company towns some rights remained to them.
