.PICKETING DECLARED
FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG
Judge Dan Thew Wright Speaks at
Hearing Before Subcommittee
on District Measure.

"Picketing is Fundamentally wrong
and is nothing else but concerted CO.
ercion'' Judge Dan Thew Wright
former judge of. the District Supremt
Court. told a special subcommittee oi
the House District committee at
hearing on the Blanton anti-picketine
bill yesterday.
Judge Wright explained that picket.
ing is wrong for the employe as wei.
as for the employer. The public i.
against il. he said, and il is bad for
the unions. because in order to wiz
they must have public support liz
characteriZing picketing as coercion
he explained that when the employees
have grivance against any particu-
lar concern. they have a right to pub.
lish it in any way they see Mt, but
when this publication assumes the
character of coercion. it is wrong
He said he was prepared to submit
$50 court decisions against picketing
The only time when peaceful picket
ing has been upheld, Judge Wright
said. was when prosecution has beer
brought under municipal ordinance
such as disturbing the peace, blocking
the sidewalk, etc. and not with REF
erence TO an anti-picketing law.
The court upholds the right of the
employer to exclude union men in the
selection of employees. if he so de.
sires. Judge Wright said.
There is no question" he said. 'oi
the right of the men to be unionized
The employer has a right to exercise
his preference in the selection OF EN-.
ployes in the conduct of his owr
business. If the public recognizes the
right of men to organize a union. il
must recognize this principle, Judge
Wright told the committee.
