D. of ]. Acts AT Last
On the HOude Case

ac-
ton was finally started November 80
by the U. S. Department Of Justice
against the Houde Engineering Cor
poration of Buffalo, which has for
months openly defied a ruling Of the
National Labor Relations Board that
it recognize the majority union Of its
employees as their exclusive agency for
collective bargaining.
The department instituted injunctions
proceedings by filing a bill of complaint
in the federal district court at Buffalo.
Although the company has made no
effort to conceal its refusal to accept
the boards decision, and has been
backed by the National Association Of
Manufacturers and auto and steel en-
ployers who wish to make it a test
case, Attorney General Cummings at
first declined to take action on the
grounds that sufficient evidence was
not available.
The bill of complaint sets forth three
points; % That the company must
bargain exclusively with the United
Automobile Workers federal labor
union, the A. F. of L. organization for
which a majority OF the workers in the
plant voted, and must endeavor in
good faith to reach an agreement with
its workers representative whenever a
demand for such an agreement is made.
(2) That the company conduct no
bargaining negotiations with any other
employees organization. This has ref
erence to efforts made by the company
to play off the minority company union
against the real union, under the guise
of collective bargaining with both.
90 That the company should not
interfere or attempt to restrain or
coerce employees in any way in col
lective bargaining.
The issue of majority or proper
tional representation for collective bar
gaining, which is involved in the Houde
case, has become a test of the govern
ment's attitude toward company
unionism. In the settlement put for
ward by President Roosevelt to avert
the auto strike the principle Of rep
r|esentation for minority organizations
in proportion to strength was laid
down, contrary to the majority prin-
ciple on which the unions have been
able to insist on the railroads and il
other industries where they are
strongly ORGANIZED.
Now the steel industry is seeking
similar privileges for its company
unions that the auto industry gained
through this settlement, but its pro
posals along these lines have SO fal
been rejected by the A. F. Of L. 1t i.
watching with particular interest the
outcome of the Houde case. Labor
representatives have claimed hat The
steel companies have been encouraged
to greater stubbornness in rejecting
labor demands by the delays and ap.
parent staling Of the Justice Depart.
ment in the matter.
Donald r. Richberg, coordinator o
New Deal agencies, has entered thu
Houde controversy by making much o
the fact that the N. L. R. B. decision
does not pass upon what the uni
for employee elections should be. |
Montana labor news., 1935-01-03

happened to be the whole plant in this
particular case, but Richberg %contended
in a recent speech that only a worker
himself should decide what voting
unit (plant, craft, etc. he should en-
ter, and that a majority vote could not
be binding on any who did not enter
that unit voluntarily.
President Green of the A. F. Of l..
has attacked Richberg's Interpretation
as adding to the existing confusion,
saying that labor can not and will not
accept" it. Either the labor board is
right and Richberg is wrong, or Rich
berg is right and the labor board is
wrong" Green said.

amazingly weak in its settlements re-
storing the Blue Eagle. The Harri-
man settlement was virtually a surren-
der to the manufacturer, and the
agreement reached in the Grief case
was a weak compromise that added lit
tie prestige to the NRA.
Bad as has been the record Of the
Compliance Division with respect to
removal of the Blue Eagle, the record
Of the Department of Justice ON court
proceedings has been even worse.
Every order handed down by the N. L.
r. B. threatens court action as well as
Blue Eagle removal if the order is not
obeyed. OF all the cases referred to
the Department of Justice by both the
Labor Relations Board and the old
National Labor Board, however, court
proceedings have been begun in only
one instance.
This was the notorious Weirton Steel
Co. case, in which a suit was finally
entered after Weirton had challenged
the authority Of the government on oc-
casion after occasion. Proceedings for
an injunction were finally begun
against the Weirton company last
| March, to restrain it from violating
Section Ia, and to prevent discrimina-
Ition against union members and inter
ference in the employees election Of an
agency for collective bargaining. The
case is now being tried in the lower
federal courts, and will quite likely be
carried to the U. S. Supreme Court.
Suit for criminal prosecution has
not even been instituted in a single
case to date, though both the MIRA
and the joint resolution Of Congress Of
June 10, 1884, under which the Labor
relations Board was appointed, carry
penalties of fine and Imprisonment for
disobedience. When workers violate
the law the government is usually
mudh prompter in arrest, trial and
punishment.
The final breakdown has come with
the refusal Of the Houde Engineering
Corporation to recognize the United
Automobile Workers Federal Labor
Union, No. 1889, the representative Of
the majority of its employees, as the
sole representative for collective bar
gaining. The National Association OF
Manufacturers has advised employers
not to obey majority rule decisions
until the courts have passed upon the
issue. The failure Of the Department
of Justice to institute proceedings has
therefore made the decision valueless
to labor.
Labor must insist that favorable de-
cisions of the board be promptly and
effectively enforced. If no other &c
ton will accomplish this purpose, il
should boycott all governmental labor
agencies until the administration makes
their decisions more than mere scraps
of paper.

A. F. OF L. OFFICERS URGE SUPPORT
UNION LABEL TRADES DEPARTMENT
Use of Union Label and Union
Shop Card Subject of Letter to
All Organizations.

Washington. President William
Green and Secretary Frank Morrison,
OF the American Federation of Labor,
have addressed a special communica-
ton to all affiliated organizations, in
support Of the current label campaign
being conducted by the Union Label
Trades Department, which is under the
direction OF Secretary-treasurer l. NJ
Ornburn.
The letter, which is Of special impor-
lance to all members OF organized la
Dor, is as follows
"To Presidents of National and In
ternational Unions, State Federations
of Labor, City Bodies and Local I'm
ions.
Dear Sirs and Brothers:
1.-THE union label and the union shop
card typify the best that has been OBJ
tanned in wages, hours and humane
conditions Of employment through col
Elective bargaining. They are symbolic
of decent working standards, sanitary
conditions OF employment and freedom
of the workers to organize and bargain
collectively through representatives oil
their own choosing. In supporting the
union label and the union shop card
therefore, organized labor and all Their
friends are making contributions to-
ward the development Of organized
effort, solidarity and improved stand
ards of living. We can help ourselves
and help the organized labor movement
Iby extending loyal, devoted and active
support to the union label and the
union shop card. Let us keep these
facts steadily in mind and, keeping
them in mind, make an intensive drive
in every city, town and hamlet through
out the nation in an individual and or
ganized effort to popularize the unior
label and the union shop card.
IF every member of organized laboi
and every workers friend would wheI
making purchases demand goods bear
ling the union label and would patroniz'
only those merchants who display tn
shop card, the cause Of organized labo
would be most wonderfully advanced
| appeal to the officers and member
of organized labor to keep this fac
steadily in mind.
MAY | urge the greatest degree o
Incorporation on the part of nationa
unions, state declarations of labor, cit
central bodies, and local unions in tn
purchase of union made goods and i
the extension of patronage to mer
chants displaying the union shop card
THE American Federation of Labor
cooperating wholeheartedly with tn
Union Label Trades Department in til
Support Of the union label and til
union shop card. The power lies with
in our W hands. We can achiev
success if we will only try.
Il appeal to the workers and thei
friends everywhere to join heartily j
this most worthy cause to patroniz
THE union label and the union shop car
and to demonstrate the Discriminate
attitude of organized labor and il
Friends il the purchase Of union mad
goods.

OIL COMPANY UNION
ORDERED DISBANDED

WASHINGTON. - (FP) - DISCO
luton of a company union of the Texas
Company at West Tulsa, Oklahoma
has been ordered by Oil Administrator
Harold L. Ickes. The Petroleum La
Dor Policy Board had found that the
workers were coerced into joining this
company union and that a big majority
of them at a secret board election had
voted against the company outfit and
for the International Association OF
Oil Field, Gas Well & Refinery Work
ers.
The board held that the company,
under the guise of recognizing or
permitting expression of, the rights of
the minority, has endeavored to i'm
pose upon a majority Of the employees
of the West Tulsa plant a plan OF
employee representation previously re-
jected by them"
