if it didn't. as the saving is.
Seeks Injunction.
Accordingly the concern sought a
district court anti-picketing injunc-
ton, pending an NLRB election to
solve its problem.
It got the injunction and the ap
peals court upheld it.
Now it is up to the NLRB to hurry
up with that election. Afterward, if
the concern fails to acquiesce in the
election result, picketing presumably
will be perfectly proper. But, as [
hear the story, from NLRB sources,
the concern is quite willing to abide
by the Wagner laws provisions.
As Stewart Sees 1t.
AS a general proposition I am in
ciined to give the benefit of the doubt
to labor in any case in which it has
a stake, and to deplore anti-picketing
injunction.
Yet here seems to- me to be an IN
stance in which an apparently fair
minded employing concern is caught
between the horns Of dilemma which
it justly may ask the NLRB to de-
liver it from as speedily as possible.

Court Ruling
For Employer
In Labor Row
Rv CHARLES Il. STEWART
Central Press COlumniSt

washington, Aug 9.-The Federal
Circuit Court of Appeals at Philadel-
mia recently rendered a decision
which seems to make remarkably
good sense in connection with labor
disputes. It was a decision, too, which
annears to be entirely satisfactory t.
upholders of the Wagner law and to
the National Labor Relations Board.
II was not exactly a decision be
tween labor and capital.
Capitals interest was indirectly in
volved in it. but more properly it was
. decision between conflicting labor
groups.
Background.
In this particular case the employ.
inc concern was quite willing to bar
gain collectively with its workers.
However, the concern had two OPP
nosing factions of workers-the A. F.
Of l.. faction and the c. I. 0. faction
The concern could not very well bar
gain collectively with both of them at
cnce, for, as we know, they are bitter
rivals The C. l. 0. claimed to be in
a majority and the concern, presum-
ably in good faith, arrived at a col
lective agreement with them. There
upon the A. F. of L. faction struck.
Adherents of this faction of course,
had a perfect right to quit, but they
also proceeded to picket.
This picketing was not specifically
a picketing of the employing con-
Germs plant. 1t was directed rather
against the G. I. o. Nevertheless the
concern itself was picketed and was
seriously embarrassed by it.
Between Two Fires.
The concerns reasoning was that
it was being unfairly victimized by a
fight in which it was entirely neutral
but it had to bargain with one
group or the other, and it used it's
best Judgment as to which was in
majority.
Maybe the concern was mistaken.
PROFESSIONALLY an election should
have been held to decide the c. I. o.
A F. of l.. issue.
But, under the Wagner law, such
elections must be supervised by the
NLRB. And the NLRB had not got
around to supervise one, the Wagner
law being comparatively new thing,
and the NLRB being showed under
with a multiplicity of activities in APP
plying it, here, there and everywhere.

of the applicants did not work last year the time which is required for eligibility for compensation. Others of the original 12,0O0 applicants have gone back to work, he said.
 While the Waterbury office has no part in the distribution of checks. from Hartford it was announced to- day that checking of the accuracy of claims has resulted in some de- lay. Officials commented that the fund must be protected from mis- takes in payment and that the &C., curacy now being sought will result in benefit later, in terms of funds available for legitimate claims.
 Waterbury applicants continue to report to the armory at the rate of about $500 a week. Some change in this procedure may be made la ter, it was reported today.
 Hartford, Feb. 24.-The necessity for accuracy in distributing bene- fits to jobless applicants is delaying some checks but in the long run will result in protection of the fund, Miss Helen Wood, executive director of the unemployment compensa tion division of the State Department of Labor, disclosed today in report of the progress made thus far by the division.
 Complains have been received that some cheeks are delayed" Miss Wood stated. While that is true it also should be evident that we cannot sacrifice accuracy for speed. :"
 Tt takes little longer to be ac- curate, but it is worth it as far as protection of the fund is con- cerned. Nasty bookkeeping and slip shod claim processing might hurry the procedure but such practices would inevitably tend to deplete the fund.-" she explained.
 Miss Wood emphasized the fact that extreme care is exercised that no one gets compensati tion who is not entitled to it. The Department takes every precaution that each benefit is correct and due, before it is made.
 If We did hurry things up, un- ooubtediy many people would get compensation who are not entitled to it. This error would help to ex- haust the fund and wouldu penalize those who are eligible" she said.
