To the Editors of the Crimson:

Many of the provisions of the anti-labor laws, now being considered by congress, are not-designed to correct some acknowledged faults of unions, but to weaken the entire union movement. Labor unions are a necessary part of our capitalist system. Only through effective organization can the workers' bargaining power be equalized with that of management. If we are to achieve economic stability this organization must be preserved.

Our increased production cannot be absorbed if wages do not keep step with prices. This gap between the two will be widened if labor's power is destroyed, for who is going to protect the worker's wage when his union is made powerless? This union-killing policy will lead us only to another depression. After World War 1 the unions were weakened; prices and profits seared, but wages lagged. Buying fell off, men lost their jobs and we faced the great depression of 1929.

We all want a prosperous America. If this is to be achieved, labor's rights must be protected. It is the duty of every citizen to make his opinion heard. Write your Senator or Congressman today. Let him know where you stand. F. O. Matthiessen,   Ruport Emerson,   M. Lindsey,   Kirtley F. Mather,   Merle Fainsod,   Samuel H. Beer.
