A SOUND DECISION.

The labor section OF the National Industrial
Recovery Act declares that employees coming I'M
der codes of fair competition shall have the right
to organize and bargain collectively through rep
resentatives of their own choosing, and shall be
free from the interference, restraint, or coercion
of employers Of labor, or their agents, in the des-
~ignation of such representatives"
From the inception of the codes, company-un-
ion and other anti-union employers have violated
the plain mandate of the Act. They have used
interference, restraint, or coercion in elections
held for employees to choose their representa-
tives. Gradually the National Labor Board,
vested by the President of the United States with
complete authority to supervise elections, is
meeting this issue in decisions on specific cases
setting forth just what employer activities are
outlawed by the statute.
One OF these activities is cited in the order of
the board annulling the first election held at the
plant of the Hughes Tool Company OF Houston,
Texas, and ordering a new election under the SUI
%pervision OF the New Orleans Regional Labor
Board.
In the first election the ballots specified a
straight vote on the issue Of the organization to
represent the employees, many of whom had join
ed the international Association of Machinists.
The ballot called for a vote for the Employees
Welfare Organization Of the Hughes Tool Com
pany" "a company union) or for the American
Federation of Labor"
Before the election Colonel R. C. Kuldel, presi-
dent OF the company, issued a circular advising
the workers which way to vote. He declared
Montana labor news., 1934-02-22

that if representatives OF an outside union were
chosen the company would put limitations on its
dealing with them, and even threatened victimi-
cation OF trade u%nionists if a majority of the en-
ployes voted for the A.. F. OF L. union. One
paragraph of the circular read:
Whether justified or not, the fact is none
the less real that there exists in the minds
and hearts of your foremen, superintendent,
manager, and general manager, an antipathy
to the professional organizer and represen-
tative."
The circular then stated that employment re-
lations in the company's plant are purely per-
sonal and added that it would be very unfortun-
ate for the employees to jeopardize their inter
ests by selecting representatives who were not
favored by the foremen and officials. Colonel
Kuldell did not mince his words. He bluntly told
the workers that company officials and super
visors, would grant favorable conditions of en-
%ployment to employees who voted against the A.
F.. of L. union and for the company union. He
said:
There being, therefore, older men who do
not join the outside union, and new men con-
stantly coming in, who cannot be made to
join under the law, there will always exist
before each foreman the choice of personnel
and the selection for advancement, the Sc
lection for special tasks, carrying higher
rates, and for transfer to the toolroom, and
regardless Of your vote, or the law, human
nature remains as it. is, and your foreman
will be prejudiced in their selection to that
employee who has not divided his allegiance
and loyalty between his employing company
and an outside organization.
1T would seem to me, therefore, the course
of personal advantage to each employee to re-
tain this position OF favor with his foreman
and superintendent. * y
AS a result of the plain coercion contained in
this letter the employees cast 1000 votes for the
company union and 600 for the A. F. of L. union.
When the conditions under which the election
was held were reported to the National Labor
Board, the board annulled the election on the
ground that the circular letter issued by Col. R.
c. Kuldell was IAN illegal interference with the
employees free choice of representatives, posi-
lively prohibited by Section "a of the National
Industrial Recovery Act.
This is a clear-cut decision. 1t should be a
warning to other company-union employers in
their misguided efforts to nullify the labor sec
ton of the Recovery Act and defy the President
of the United States, who administers it.
