Norris, Neb.) warned organized labor again today that Congress may be to pass legislation outlawing "exorbitant" union initiation fees. In a general letter to his constituents, Norris asserted that "racketeers" are profiting at the expense of "honest labor." cause of this, he said, "the Government of the United States must suffer" and "our preparation for national defense in the face of an admitted emergency must fall." Excessive initiation fees, he said, could not be "put over except by a conspiracy on the part of labor on one hand and management on the other." Norris wrote William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, and Philip Murray, president of the C.

I. last month urging them to take steps to prohibit the imposition of undue fees. Murray said no C. I. O.

unions charged excessive fees, and Green said the A. F. L. was taking steps to remedy the situation. In his new letter, Norris observed that the tendency is to blame labor for most defense strikes, regardless of the conditions causing them.

It is only natural for laboring men to feel that with billions being spent for defense, their wages should be increased, he said.
