Bethlehem Steel
Corp. Defied Law
Court Upholds NLRB Order
Against Union Run By
Company

Washington, D. C. QLNS Holding
that the employees representation plan
of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation is
company dominated union, the
United States Court of Appeals here
has upheld an order of the National
Labor Relations Board disestablish-
ing the plan in nine Of the corpora
tion's plants.
In a two to one decision, the court
ruled that Bethlehem had defied the
law as stated in the Wagner Act and
in "plain decisions of the Supreme
Court"
"The labor boards order provides
the only lawful remedy and will be
enforced" the decision said.
The majority opinion, written by
Associate Justice Henry w. Edger-
ton, and joined by Associate Justice
Fred M. Vinson, recalled that the
board found Bethlehem had dominated,
interfered with and contributed sup
port to labor organizations, called
'Plans of Employees Representation"
at the corporations Cambria, Lacka-
wanna, Lebanon, Steelton, Sparrows
Point, Bethlehem and Concentrator
Plants and Rankin Works, Leetsdale
Works No. and Leetsdale Works No.
2, situated in Pennsylvania, New York
and Maryland.
Evidence Held Clear
1t is understood the court finding
will be appealed to the Supreme
Court. According to labor experts
here the employees representation plan
is one of the oldest of such organiza-
tions in the United States.
at is clear" said the Court ma
jority, chat the company dominated,
interfered with, and supported the
plans; the boards other findings to
which we have referred are supported
by substantial evidence"
In these "other findings" the ma
jority held that the corporation had
"surreptitiously W given money to the
Mayor Of Johnston, Pa, to ensure
continuance of his anti-union attitude
and conduct and that the corporation
must be held responsible therefore,"
Labor Spies Employed
1t was stated also that the COM
pany had "employed detectives to OBJ
tain information about union activi-
ties" and that 'in this conduct en-
ployes had been coerced in the exer-
else of the rights guaranteed by the
(Wagner), act to form or join labor
organizations, and to engage in con-
certed activities for collective bargain
ing"
Disagrceing with the majority opin-
ion, Justice Harold M. Stephens said
he saw mo substantial evidence of
domination or interference" with the
formation Of the employe representa-
tion plans and that the ULRB order
should be set aside because the boards
examiner showed bias.

which made good its pledge to the
Government to supply enough skilled
men to complete the program in rec
ord time and to keep them working
at all costs.
"Why have the leaders Of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and why
have millions of working men and
women in the rank and file made sac
rifces and maintained strict discipline
and hewed to the line?
"The answer is that they believe in
democracy as against totalitarianism.
They love America and they will go
to any lengths to defend it. They
cherish their rights and their free
dom as all good American citizens do.
"Yet today the rights and freedom
of American workers are threatened
not only by the menace of totalitar-
ian aggressors abroad but by the
forces of reaction from within our
own land.
"The great majority of American
workers have demonstrated that they
do not wish to strike and will not
strike or otherwise impede the defense
program, yet now a group OF short
sighted and labor-hating Congress
men are trying to take away then
right to strike.
"The right to strike means as much
to workingman as the freedom OF
the press means to a newspaper pub
Usher. 1t is just as vital and funda
mental in our organic law as the free
dom Of speech and the freedom t'
worship God as one sees fit. These
guarantees of individual liberty are
embodied in the Bill Of Rights in oul
Constitution, just as the right to strike
is contained in the Thirteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution which pro
hibited involuntary servitude in Amer
lea for all time.
"Any infringement Of the right t.
strike is a step toward forced labo
and the type of conditions which pre-
vail in lands dominated by the dicta
tors of Europe Those conditions ar,
the very things American worker
want to defend our country against
They will not listen to any speciou
pleas that they must accept a form
of slavery to defend themseIve

quarter earnings for each week of to-
tai unemployment, while the high paid
man will receive per cent, with pro-
portionate amounts being paid to
claimants within the two extremes.
Another provisions of this bill con-
tinues the present requirement Of en-
ployment in each of 20 weeks, and
places upon the unemployed worker
another qualifier of $l60 earnings in
the base period. The bill also provides
that one who quits work to marry or
because of marital obligations is not
available for employment, receives no
benefits for the ensuing period of un-
employment. Voluntary quitting with
out good cause or discharge for mis-
conduct will reduce by six weeks the
maximum number Of weeks for which
benefits may be paid. The "strike"
provision in the present law is
changed to read "labor dispute (other
than lockout)".
In 1889 and again in 1910, Admin
istrator Atkinson points out, the in
come into the unemployment fund ex-
ceeded benefit payments by more than
to l. Despite the fact that tax cuts
under merit rating will become effec-
tive for the first time in 1912, it was
| felt that tax rates safely be further
reduced. The new tax scale is set at
from r to 3 per cent in place of the
old scale of from / to per cent. A
conservative estimate places the yield
under the new rates for 1912 at ap-
proximately $25,OO0,000, a reduction
of $16,00O,000, but more than enough
to meet anticipated benefit payments
The new bill makes provisions fol
review by the courts on questions in
volving tax payments and their com
putation, and an appeal also is pro.
vided from the administrators deter.

impossible. Even more important
is Shakespeare's anxiety to gain
perfection. He was gripped by an
imaginative vision, wrote one play,
then another in the quest of the
ideal. Never initiating himself, he
seeks constantly to improve what
he has done by doing it anew.
Relation of Plays Explained.
Macbeth and Julius Caesar at
first thought seem unrelated, but
examination shows their purpose is
the same. Shakespeare saw how
evil spreads from person to person
until it affects the balance of the
universe. This conception inspired
first one and then another of his
greatest productions. In Julius
Caesar the poet was hampered by
the known facts in Caesars life.
When he came to write Macbeth
he was more free. The imagery
of the two works is very much the
same. We find in both the unnat-
ural phenomenon which testifes to
the dlsarrangement of the universe,
the supernatural participants. Mac
beth is BrutuS. Lady Macbeth. Cas-
sius; Banquo, Marc Antony-all re-
written how much better!"
Prof. Nicoll closed with a recita-
ton of the last words spoken in
"Macbeth"-the promise of Malcolm

watchful tyranny and producing
forth the cruel ministers of this
dead butcher"
