Green Says Labor
Legislation Would
Destroy Unions
'Continued From Page One
wh'c'i would outlaw the closed
shop, prohibit boycotts, ban union
dues check-offs, require coolling
off periods before strikes, force
public financial accountings by
unions, and impose compulsory ar
bitration.
AFL President William Green
told the House labor committee to
day he is “willing to accept” as a
new labor law a requirement that
unions make public reports of
their finances.
In a short, red-faced exchange
with Rep. Hoffman (R.-Mich.),
the AFL chieftain named two or
three other labor law proposals
toward which he said he ad the
same attitude.
Hoffman had protested that
Green came before the committee
simply opposing any changes in
existing laws, having no sugges
tions for improvement.
Finally, Green shouted: “Now
wait I’m willing that the Wagner
Act be changed so that employers
can engage in free speech.
“On financial reports of unions,
we're willing.”
Hoffman exclaimed. “Now we
are getting somewhere.”
Previously Green had said sev
eral times he had no suggestions
or changes in labor laws, because
“I’m not trying to limit or enslave
labor.”

“must not disarm to the point
where the nation is unable 10 mee:
the duty to itself and to civiliza

bility in a world still suffering
from heavy injury and the shock
of war.”
Conditions which provide the
background for disarmament, For
restal said, do not now exist “nor
will they until we have written
the peace treaties with Germany
and Japan, until the United Na

ful going concern, until it is clear
that the rest of the world wants
true disarmament.”
