EGGLESTON SAYS LABOR MUST SAVE DEMOCRACY

Speaking before the Teachers Union yesterday afternoon at Phillips Brooks House, Mr. Arthur Eggleston, of the San Francisco Chronicle and a Nieman Fellow, in a discussion of the press coverage of recent strikes asserted that "labor alone has vitality to defend our democratic rights." For this reason he believes all labor organizations should be strengthened, rather than curtailed.

"The recent attempts of anti-labor parties to force radical bills through Congress have had as their goal the frightening of unions and the workers." Big business hopes by such threats to make labor unions accept a compromise strongly opposed to their interests, he stated.
