Two incidents reflecting conditions in the hanks of labor which have' been recorded within the past twenty four hours point to the need for some better control over Mhe activities of organized labor

labor organizations line with the position under the law of other organ izations should be enacted As it is labor organizations are practically irresponsible under the law for any dam s' J' age they

most damage in a scrap in which he has had no interest In recent years the twp big labor organizations the Ar of and the have gained much political power Each has a stfong and active lobby and each has been able in political campaigns to threaten disaster to candidates who did not do their bidding Each has been 1 able to build up a war chest of considerable proportions is used in electing or defeating men who seek po preference The organizations controlled or headed wiby Lewis have been heavy contributors to the Democratic "yA party in recent years and have contended that these con
