Sfu+e Labor Act
Continued From Page One)

General Assembly at least half com
pleted, hearings on a number Of labor
sponsored measures have not been
held by Committees to which they
were assigned after considerable de-
lay. Some bills have not been refer
red to Committees.
In the meantime, Representatives of
the Ohio State Federation Of Labor
are being forced to devote consider
able time and effort in opposition to
vicious anti-labor measures which have
been introduced, particularly by Lucas
County Representatives.
There are three measures in the
General Assembly proposing to give
full police powers to the State High
way Patrol, and other bills propose to
compel labor unions to incorporate
and otherwise restrict and regulate
union activities and procedure.
From the anti-labor attitude cx-
hibited to date by the General Assem-
bly,, on bills which they have consid-
cred, labor leaders feel that only those
measures affecting labor with which
employing interests are in accord, or
to which they have given silent APP
proval by not opposing them due to
their minor nature and effect, will have
a chance of becoming enacted into
law.

Evils Of Private

"The functions of private police
systems must be restricted to the pro-
lection of plant and property.
employers using the channels of
interstate commerce should not be
permitted to spread and perpetuate
system of repressing the civil rights
guaranteed by the Federal Constitu-
tion and Federal legislation. When
company controlled police systems
cover several States and affect the ac-
tivities Of thousands of workers, it is
the place of the Federal Government
to intervene.
Company Police Must Be Curbed
''In the interest of Industrial peace
and the uninterrupted functioning of
the natural economic system, it is
necessary that Federal action confine
company police systems to their prop
er duty Of protecting plant and prop
erty.
"1n recommending legislation to
correct the evils of company police
systems the committee is scrupulous
not to interfere with the right of the
employer to police his premises or
employ persons for the legitimate
functions of protection.
"The committee does not feel that
at this time the Congress should un-
dertake detailed regulation of the per-
sonnel and conduct Of the police sys-
TENS of employers. Rather it should
define those practices which have led
to the infringement of civil liberties
and industrial disorder and make their
commission an offense.
"1n only one respect does it seem
advisable 20 regulate the personnel
which employers may hire, and that
is to prohibit the employment as arm
ed guards of persons who have pre-
vious criminal records showing ten
dency toward violence or the danger
Gus use of deadly weapons.
Ban on Labor Espionage Urged
Legislative remedies, in the opinion
of the committee, should be aimed to
prohibit the practice of labor espion-
age and the shadowing, coercion, and
intimidation of workers in ordinary
times, and to restrict company police
to company property during times of
strike.
ga statutory prohibition of these
practices by private police systems,
carefully defined will also cover the
similar practices Of detective and
strikebreaking agencies. To this end
the committee is drafting appropriate
legislation shortly to be introduced in

of Organized Labor, to read the his
tory of constabularies in other states

j. Russell Lloyd, representing the
Ohio State Automobile Association,
also appeared in opposition to the
measure.
Colonel Lynn Black, superintendent
of the Highway Patrol, appeared be-
fore the Committee as neutral speak
er. He stated that the traffic enforce
ment work of the Highway Patrol
would be cut in half if the bill was en-
acted into law, and pointed to the
statewide reduction in traffic fatali
ties as AN example of the effective
work of the Patrol in that respect,
work which he believed should not be
curtailcd.
Walter +. Kirk appeared before the
Committee as a proponent of the bill
in behalf of the Ohio State Grange
and the Ohio Farm Bureau. He told
the Committee state police system
would provide better protection for
rural areas. The bill was also sup
ported by George J. O'Brien, repre-
scnting the Ohio Chamber Of Com

Representative William f. Eirick,
Cleveland member of the Commit
tee, declared that the measure was a
violation of solemn promise made
when the Highway Patrol was created
that the power of the Patrol would
never be increased.
Representative Herman f. Werner,
