Green and Morrison Stress Necessity For United
Action By Workers to Elect Candidates Who
Favor Legislation Approved By Labor And
Defeat Candidates Who Oppose Such Legis-

can be best served through united
action made possible through the de-
velopment of a sound constructive
practical partisan political policy.
For obvious reasons, labor should
avoid division even in the pursuit Of
its political policies Such divisiosn
can be avoided if working men and
women, loyal to the American Fedora
tion of Labor, will refrain from iden-
tifying themselves with any political
movement designed to serve as a
substitute for the non partisan polit,
ical policy Of the American Federation
of Labor
Information Regarding Candidates
/ when the occasion seems appro-
pirate, when candidates have beer
nominated, when ii becomes publicly
known who the candidates are, upon
what platform they stand and what
social, economic and political princi-
Piles they espouse, the executive coun-
Gil, through its non-partisan political
committee, will officially commune
cate with all organizations affiliated
with the American Federation Of La
Dor advising them regarding the
standing, qualifications and public
records of candidates for political
positions.
'The training and experience Of la
Dor and the lessons which it has
learned, all lead to the conclusion
that the highest and best interests
of labor will be served through 4
strict and close adherence to the ira

Labor will continue its policy of sup
porting candidates for office, regard

favor legislation approved by labor
and opposing the enemies of such leg

Morrison to 109 national and inter
national unions, 48 state federations
of labor, 800 city central bodies and
35 900 local unions The text Of the
letter follows:

NLRB Warns Union
Organization Is Exclu-

Employer Must Observe Strict Hands Off Policy if En-
ployes Seek to Organize Board Declares in Ordering
Philadelphia Concern to Rehre Men Discharged For
Union Activity.

Washington, d. c.. (ILNS)-The
Protective Motor Service Co., Phila-
delphia, engaged in the business of
transporting valuables in armored
cars, has been directed by the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board to re-
hire Is drivers and guards discharged
because. of membership in the Local
Union No 470, international Brother
hood of Teamsters, Stablemen and
Helpers of America.
The company also was ordered to
post notices at its Philadelphia plant
stating that it will not discharge or
in any manner discriminate against
members Of, or those desiring to be-
come members of, the union"
In making public its decision, the
NLRB issued a signif ant state
ment of its position on rnployer at
tempts to influence lat or organiza-
ton, declaring that union organiza-
ton is the exclusive concern of la
bor."

sisted in union activities would be
discharged. The group Of men who
attended subsequent meetings of the
local despite this threat were dismiss
ed as rapidly as substitutes could be
found.
A hearing in the case was con-
Quoted on January 8, 1895, before
Trial Examiner Walter Wilbur at
Philadelphia 1t was shown by testi-
mony that the men who had been dis
charged were employees of from two
to ten years standing, whose work
had always been satisfactory. Presi-
dent Marsh asserted at the hearing
that he had dismissed them because
he considered their failure to notify
him that they were going to join a
union an act of insubordination He
also declared that discussion concern
ing the union disturbed his non-union
men, and that he regarded it to be
his duty to protect his non-union men
from arguments on the subject. The
boards decision makes the following
comment on this position:
"That union-organiza is the
exclusive concern of labor; that en-
ployes may advance that objective in
any legitimate and orderly manner;
and that they are entitled to the
protection of the board if the employer
interferes with or coerces them in the
exercise of their right to organize

constituted.

was the pay shot. As it slithered
toward the cup, the widest national
open in history was at an end. IL
still was rolling when the thousands
surged in. and Tony was forced to
sink the next one, foot and
half fellow in a hurry to get 1t IN
before the crowd engulfed him.
Mrs. Manero, prettiest of all the
golf wives, watched that final putt
from the clubhouse porch. And
her first words were:
Il don't know whether to lauh
or cry. But surely no one need
ed it more than Tony and l." ..,...
She probably told the truth. There
isn't much money for pro at a
small club in the south, and not so
many weeks ago the big sporting
goods company which had him on
the payroll for using their clubs,
wrote and said his name was no
longer worth money to them. May
be it's wicked of me, but I like to
think about how that company
feels now
Maneros winning total of 282 is
likely to stand longer than the 286
of Chick Evans that it broke. And
Chicks mark wasn't cracked for 20
years. Baltusrol officials, had they
chosen, could have made their
course play much harder than it
did. But Baltusrol wanted crowds
and publicity, and it realized that
rounds of IA, IS, and rs, aren't con-
ducive to either. So the tees were
left short, and the pins were placed
where a player could go for them
with confidence.
Which was sensible. Oakmont
was a joke last year. In their eag-
erness to protect the par of the
course, the officials turned it into
a ridiculous layout. Daniel Boone
using his truStieSt squirrel gun
would have had trouble shooting.

constituents will come to you from
