Court Overrules
(Coniinnrd From Page Onr)

(COntnurd From Page Onr)
at is our opinion that the decision
found by the Labor Board puts a
premium upon industrial unrest
Judge Edward X. Finch wrote. "The
question presented for decision IS
whether employees, who have selected
a labor union as their representative
by joining and retaining membership
therein, and who have allowed such
selected representatives to make an
agreement which is binding upon the
employer, are in spite of this con
tract still entitled to certificate
from the Labor Board that they have
selected another union as their bar
gaining representative in order to
void the contract which they have
previously made"
He added:
at will be noticed that in this case
the r. w. l., did not petition for an
election to determine an appropriate
agency until July 20, 1889. This was
the same day that the period expired
during which Triboro could have no
tilted Amalgamated that it elected to
terminate the July, 1886, agreement.
"Thus, after the expiration of the
period during which notice to ter
inmate the 1886 contract might be
given, Triboro was bound by the
closed shop provisions of that con
tract and was bound to negotiate with
Amalgamated exclusively as to all
conditions of employment which
were covered by it.
"By waiting until the expiration of
the period during which such notice
might be given, the employees have in
effect made choice that Amalga-
mated is to be their representative
for the next three years or until an
other representative is chosen, since
they have not notified their employer
or the Labor Board of contrary in
tcntion."
The Triboro case was once used by
George Meany. then president of the
State Federation of Labor, as the
basis for an attack on the Labor
Board, which he accused of being
&C. |. O.-minded.'
Since the company has continued
to deal with the Amalgamated while
the case was before the courts, the
ruling will not affect the company'S
relations with its employees, +. &
Fornatora, president of the company
said.

MednY Stresses

"While we shall continue to insist
on the right to strike when all other
means of attaining labor's legitimate
detectives have failed, the policy of
the American Federation Of Labor
will be to cooperate with the National
Defense Mediation Board and other
governmental agencies in an effort to
reduce the number of industrial dis
putes to the vanishing point.
"To achieve that result will require
the wholehearted effort of workers,
employers and the organized COM
munity. To obtain that effort re-
quires mutual confidence, cooperation
and a decent human relationship be-
tween all parties which will place the
goal of national defense as our major
objective.
at is our job to demonstrate that
an aroused people, blessed with ample
resources, can defend itself by volun-
tary processes while living together
in civilized structure of mutual un.

moving toward the city and it is one
of the most difficult to replace. The
training period is longer and the con-

farm works do not appeal to the in

"It is difficult to bring to the at
tention of our whole people that the
farmer or the boy on the farm must
be skilled worker.
"The ordinary farm laborer, espe
cially on a farm that is operated in
some diversifcation, must not only
have knowledge and skill in preparing
the soil, planting the seed, and har-
vesting the crops, but he also must
be a mechanic. He must be able to
repair, with meager facilities, the
tools he uses.

know how to handle them; he uses

BICYCLE SAFETY PUSHED

Chicago.-With hundreds of BIZ
cyclists, mostly children and young
people, meeting death each year in
accidents, many cities and states are
conducting special bicycle safety pro-
grams, information to the American
Municipal Association shows. A sum-
mary of compulsory bicycle registra-
ton plans in 20 cities shows that in
13 Of the cities bicycles are inspected
in the licensing procedure, and in IA
examinations and instructions are
given to riders. Statistics indicate
that approximately 25 per cent of the
bicycles involved in motor vehicle col
lisions were defective or improperly
equipped, the most serious deficiency
being the lack of lamps and re-

the Communists in this country are
trying to propel America into close
alliance with Soviet Russia. This is
unthinkable. The teachings and prac-
tices of Communism are just as nox-
ious and unprincipled as the teach
ings and practices of Nazism. Soviet
Russia is not the willing ally of the
forces of democracy in this war. She
was forced into the war and her pres
ent friendly gestures to Great Britain
and America are dictated by despera-
tion and hypocrisy. The Communists
are pretending to be the friends of
democracy because they need the help
of democratic nations. Basically,
however, Communism is form Of
totalitarianism which is inimical to
democracy.
with this much understood, our
nation can proceed to weigh the ques-
ton of whether and to what extent
we should render aid to Soviet Rus
sa. Frankly, even though we may
regard the Communist regime in Rus
sia as the enemy of democracy, we
cannot escape the fact that Russia is
now also the enemy of Nazi Ger
many. Our whole defense program
is based upon the threat Of aggres-
sion from Nazi Germany Therefore
if Russia can defeat Germany or even
delay the Nazi program of world
domination, America would gain
thereby. Practical considerations
consequently make it expedient that
we extend such assistance as we car
to help Soviet Russia fight the Naz
war machine.
"Our government should do this
for practical reasons alone and with
out the slightest pretense that the
United States and Soviet Russia are
friends or can be friends. At thu
same time our government shoult
guard against the possibility tha
closer ties with Soviet Russia ma!
give her agents and adherents in thi
country wider opportunities to under
mine American democracy from with
in.
