U.S. Senator La Follette and the National Labor Relations Board were chiefly responsible for the existence of the Senate Committee on Civil Liberties. Last spring the committee held preliminary hearings at which the Labor Board produced such a mass of evidence, documentary and verbal, of labor espionage that the Senate was constrained to vote an appropriation of just $15,000. The money has been stretched far. It paid for hearings last fall which got into the record a vast amount of data about Pinkerton, Railway Audit, National Corporation Service, and other agencies. It is paying for the current hearings, which have gone into the Gelders flogging case.
