U.S. ANTI-LABOR PLAN BARED

Master blacklist prepared

By SAM KUSHNER

CHICAGO-—Suite 300 at 205 West Monroe street, on the western fringes of Chicago’s
Loop, has become the general headquarters for a campaign to establish a master blacklist in

US. industry.

It is the nerve centre of the American Security Council.

Managed by a corps of for-
mer FBI agents, the council
maintains an undercover oper-
ation that recently came to
light. More than a million
names — allegedly those of
Communists and others with
“statist” connections — fill the
numerous filing cases. And
20,000 new nanies are added
every month.

This is not just another
“crack-pot” outfit. Unlike so

many of its predecessors, it has.

blossomed forth with a list of
imposing sponsors, including
some of the midwest’s most

widely known industrialists.
General Robert E. Wood, bit-
terly anti-labor former head of
Sears Roebuck, has surrounded
himself with a group of “res-
pected” business leaders.

The Security Council claims
to be a “private” organization
but a number of circumstances
seem to belie this claim. Its
_most prominent personnel, be-
‘ginning with the « council’s
president, aré former . FBI
agents.

John M. Fisher, ASC presi-

dent, headed the New York -

FBI operations that investi-
gated Communist party activi-
ties in the New York area. The
council’s operating director is
Robert J. Wilson, former FBI
agent,.recently engaged in the
same type of activity in the
Chicago area.

In addition to General
Woods, leading figures on the
council are Hughston McBain,
former chairman of Marshall
Field; Paul V. Galvin, chair-
man of Motorola Company;
Fred J. Gillies, president of
Acme Steel Company.

According to the New York
Times, the Chicago Tribune is
a subscriber*to the services of
the American Segurity Coun-
cil. But a careful examination
of Tribune files, as well as
those of other Chicago news-
papers, fails to reveal a single
line written about this budding
“security” organization.

Associated with the council
are men with long records of
anti-unionism, association and
‘cooperation with anti-Semites,
leaders in the fight against
hiring Negro workers, and
some of the owners of factories
that are among the worst
sweatshops in the midwest.

Proponents of right to scab
laws are among the council’s
major supporters.
