LABOR BOARD EXPLORES
the RIDICULOUS

The National Labor Relations Board
has never been especially noteworthy Tor
its logic, but its most recent important
decision really plumbs the depths OF the
ridiculous That is, it would be ridlcuI-
Gus if its possible effect were not so far
reaching and serious.
The labor board ordered the Milan
(Tenn.) Shirt company to hire AZ men 1t
refused to hire two years ago. In addl-
ton, it ordered the company to pay those
men wages for the last two years, Just
as if they had been hired in the first
place. The men had never worked for
the company They had no claim on
employment by the company. They had
gone there asking for jobs, and had been
told there were no Jobs for them. Now
the labor board says the company must
put them to work.
If that decision is upheld by the courts,
and if the labor board is permitted by
congress to get away with that sort of
thing, then the labor board will be in a
position to force every employer in the
country to hie whomever it (the labor
board) wants hired.
To bring it down to individual cases:
The labor board could tell housewife
it could force her to pay the salary for
any number of years of someone she re-
fused to hire years ago.
The labor board could force building
contractor to hire the carpenters it want
ed him to hire, and to pay back wages
to men he had refused to hire.
The labor board could force mcr
chant to hire a specific clerk and could
impose the same penalties upon him.
In other words. the labor board would
become the dictator in the matter of
employment The employer himself
would lose all right to hire according to
merit, or according to his needs. He
would have to hire according to the la
Dor boards directions.
Of course, in the shirt company case,
the labor board said the company had
refused to hire the men because of their
union activity.
But what Of ii? Can't an employer
refuse to hire d man he knows will cause
trouble in an otherwise peaceful organi-
ZatiOn? BaSically, there is no difference
in the reason for which employment was
refused, be it union activity or inefficien-
cy. The issue at stake is the right of al
employer to hire the men he depends up
on to run his business If he loses that
right, he more than likely will lose his
business in the end.
Is it any wonder business is ''jittery"?
