Stull. He said the track would add
nothing to the District and "as tax
payers and parents we should oppose
it." In conclusion he stated he

spent with them would be thrown
away at the races.

in opposition to the Reynolds bill,
stating it would only bring to Wash

Ford Demands
For Free Speech
Guarantee Declared
Qualified by Right Of
Workers to Organize
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The National Labor Board con-
tended today that freedom of speech
was a qualified and not an abso-
lutte right" in ordering the Ford
Motor Co. of Somerville, Mass, to
stop interfering with the rights of
employees to organize.
The board said the company had
distributed statements of propa-
ganda which disparage or criticize"
labor organizations.
The company had argued that
any effort to stop the distribution
of Ford pamphlets would constitute
a denial of the right of free speech.
The board said the National
Labor Relations Act required en-
ployers to refrain from interfering
or coercing their employees in the
exercise of the rights of self or
ganization guaranteed by the act.
THE guarantee of such rights to
the employees" the board said,
would, indeed. be wholly ineffective
if the employer, under the guise of
exercising its constitutional right
of free speech, were free to coerce
them into refraining from exercis-
ing the rights vouchsafed them in
the act.
'"The contention that coercive
statements made by supervisory
officials to employees are protected
by the first amendment has been
rejected in several cases arising
under the act We think the prin-
ciple thus established is no less
applica.Ae to the circulation Of
literature having a like coercive
effect"
The boards order was aimed at
the distribution of a pamphlet en-
titled Ford Gives Viewpoint on La
bor."
The board made a similar ruling
on the distribution of the pamph-
let's in previous Ford cases.
The order in the Somerville case
also directed the company to cease
maintaining surveillance" of union
meetings.
At the same time it dismissed al
legations that the company had dis
eliminated against employees be-
cause of union membership and
had assaulted or threatened union
men who were distributing union
circulars.
