ALABoR UNION CASE.

The President has an interesting Ia
Dor union case to deal with, and the
/ public is noting its various phases with
considerable interest. In the early part
/ Of the present month the public printer
| discharged w. A. Miller, an assistant
/ foreman of the government printing
/ office. The reason he gave for the
! discharge of the man was that he had
! been expelled from the labor union Of
which he was a member, the organi-
cation being Local Union No. 4, Inter-
national Brotherhood of Bookbinders.
Miller entered a protest the basis of
it being that he was an employe under
the civil service law, and that he
could not be legally discharged for any
such reason.
The matter went to the Secretary of
Commerce and by him was referred to
the President, who. after reviewing
the case. said that he would not rem
der final decision until he had made
more thorough investigation, but
ordered the public printer to reinstate
Miller pending a decision.
In the course of his letter to the Sec
rotary OF Commerce the President said
ION the face of the papers presented
Miller would seem to have been re-
moved in violation of law. There is no
objection to employees of the govern
ment printing Office constituting them
selves into a union if they so desire,
but no rules or resolutions of that I'M
ion can be permitted to override the
laws of the United States" The Pres
ident also called the attention of the
secretary to the award of the Anthra-
cite Coal Commission, in which it was
held there should be no discrimination
against any one in the matter of en-
ployment because of membership or
non-membership in a labor union.
Now it seems that the particular
was expelled and allied unions. will
quit work if Miller is reinstated. The
bookbinders' union has given out
statement that its constitution does
not permit it's members to work with
an expelled member. 1t seems also that
the union had good reasons for expell-
ing Miller but they were not the rea-
son for which Miller was discharged by
the public printer.
Ii may be that the President will de-
eide that Miller ought to have been
discharged from the public service and
that that will close the incident. If
he does not, the issue between the la
Dor unions involved in the strike and
the government will be a clearly de-
and will be watched with keen inter
est.
