Abstract

"The Industry"
Broun, Heywood | February 20, 1935 issue

add to cart   close window

Organized labor in the U.S. is still following a strategy which is insufficiently candid. The American Federation of Labor's (AFL) leaders choose to say in their attacks on the policies of the national Administration that the U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt is "being deceived" by AFL's president Donald Richberg. He is vulnerable and convenient and without any great personal following. The fact is that labor's quarrel is now and always has been with Franklin D. Roosevelt himself. Complaint against the National Recovery Administration lies, less against its administration than against the fundamental philosophy under which it was conceived.
