As for our recently enacted Wag- ner labor act for collective bargain ing, and the British law of 1927, they were the product of exactly opposite situations.
 The British law got on the stat ute books in the wake of a general strike that practically paralyzed the British Isles. In the view of the conservative government then in power the strikers gave an exhibi- ton of too much pressure for collec- tice bargaining.
 The American law was proposed by a political party (the Demo- cratic New DeaD which professed

Collective bargaining is standard practice in Great Britain, and the law assumes the workers right to t. The act also outlaws general strikes and strikes in one indusetry in aid of another, forbide employers lock- outs and makes picketing illegal when it is felt to cause disturbance or intimidate workers.
 It also forbids unions to use dues for political purposes unless mem bers consent, and permits inter csted parties in a labor dispute tc obtain an Injunction against use Of union funds in support of an illegal strike
 And it makes it a criminal of- fense to break a labor contract with the government. while prohibiting civil servants from joining any union not composed solely of government employees.
