Wagner Says Sit-Downs Provoked by Corporations
Washington March 31 Senator Wagner of New York charged the sit down strike was provoked by ruthless tactics of a few great corporations. He blamed lack of federal enforcement of the Wagner labor act for the crises in the General Motors and Chrysler sit downs and urged nation wide powers to enforce the law. He warned of a danger of a low mood if workers miss out on business advances and condemned corporate use of injunctions, spies, discharges and violence to break workers liberties. The senator did not state the legality of sit downs but urged obedience to today’s law within each jurisdiction.
