Needed A Code Of Ethics In The Nation's Labor Debates
Chicago June 21. A code of ethics agreeable to Chief Justice Warren and Harry Truman could reflect dictatorial power of unions under Roosevelt's influence, and would permit unions to commit highway robbery as a legal privilege. The piece links Byrnes, Frankfurter, and others to Supreme Court decisions excusing extortion and vandalism tied to union power, accusing leaders of corruption and duplicity. It recalls a 1944 episode at the Statler Hotel where Roosevelt allegedly encouraged drunken Teamsters, illustrating alleged moral decay in labor politics.
