Committee For Democratic Action Defends Right of Labor to Strike

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

In an attempt to counteract the antistrike agitation led by powerful employer groups which they believe is becoming more insistent, the Harvard Committee for Democratic Action recently issued a statement opposing all proposals, which are in any way designed to curtail the democratic right of American labor to strike.

Asserting that since the sole force in the community with the will and power to oppose the profiteering of industry is organized labor, "the people and the government should now, more than ever before, do everything within their power to assist labor in its struggle for higher wages and improved living conditions.

The Committee further bases its demands for labor on the belief that organized labor has been the "strongest bulwark against fascist barbarism and has never wavered in its principles of democracy and freedom."
