Kdiser Closed Shop
Unfair. Says NLRB
Hearing On December A.
Boards Step Denounced
By Willium Green

Washington, d. c. After seeking
vainly for six months to convince the
American Federation of Labor and the
Congress of Industrial Organizations
that they should settle an inter-union
dispute involving three of Henry j.
KaiSers West Coast ship yards in Il
manner that would conform to the
law, the National Labor Relations
Board issued q complaint alleging that
the yards had engaged in unfair labor
practices by giving assistance to six
teen ALL. unions in recruiting and
maintaining membership among the
employees.
The Complaint based on charges by
the CLOS Industrial Union of Marine
and Shipbuildng Workers of America,
stated that Il time when the three
yards had few, if any employees, they
made closed shop contracts with the
ALL. Subsequently, however, the
yards engaged about 10000 workers,
all of whom had TO join the ALL.
Indefensible. Says Green
On learning of the complaint, Will
liam Green, president of the A.F.L.,
asserted that the boards step was
"indefensible from any point of view
and its action can only be interpreted
rs sabotaging the war production
effort
Harry A. Mills, chairman of the
I IN, ..t., tl,s.t
the Seattle Office of the board had
taken these steps, explained that the
complaint and the decision to hold
public hearings on it are intended to
investigate the charges that the com
panieS and ALL. unions have entered
into illegal contracts, which have had
the effect of interfering with prodlc~
tion of vital war materials and the
msue of available manpower"
Sees No Production Brake
Stating that the NLRB had set Il
hearing on the complaint for Dec. II in
Portland, Ore, Chairman Willis said ::
public hearings in board cases, it
has been the boards experience, have
not had the effect Of Interfering with
war production. They have been con
dueted in such manner and ut such
hours best suited to the convenience Of
all those interested i'm maximum and
uninterrupted production. We have
found that thorough Investigations and
prompt hearings are even more essen
tial in Wartimes; they have had the
effect of allaying tensions in the plant
and quickly resolving any matters
which might occasion or contribute to
Industrial unrest"
Mr.. Green said that "war produc-
tion in the Kaiser shipyardS have de
veloped to an amazing capacity"
"The decision means division dis
cord, bitterness, Il campaign for an
election that means grave interference
with war production Mr.. Green con
tinued. "A closed shop contract be-
tween Mr.. Kaiser and the A.F.L. is in
effect The purpose of the complaint
is to have the contract set aside. The
board is giving aid and comfort 10 that
proposal. | officially resent the action
of the board and shall vigorously pro
test its order"

The talk centered around the why"
of the union label, with one of the
soldiers explaining the benefits OF the
label To the nation and the labor move
ment and answering questions on the
label from the others.
Label Means Quality
"'The union label on everything you
buy said the label booster, means
first of all that it's made i'm America.
1t means that it's made under clean
and sanitary conditions, not in II
sweat shop. 1t means that it's high
quality, because a boss who treats his
workers square enough to earn the
right to put the union label on his
product an't going TO gyp you on the
quality of the merchandise. 1t means
that the product is made right, be-
cause union workers are highskilIed
workers.
In his talk, Secretary Ornburn
stressed the importance of maintain
ing American standards by purchase
of union label goods and services and
declared that it will not be long be-
fore the Axis dictatorS find out that
munitions of war produced by free
American workers are far superior
10 the armament produced by slave
workers in the totalitarian nations.

Ornburn said in part:
'"I'he union label is not just q one

The American public was told to-
day it would be given all the in
formation about war production that
could be disclosed without aiding
the enemy.
The announcement was made by
the Interdepartmental Committee
on War Information, which at the
same time pointed out there would
be difficulties in distinguishing be-
tween information Of value or nom
value to the enemy.
The committee said every effort
should be made to resolve these by
employing a form Of publication
which will provide information
helpful to our own people without
providing information helpful to our
enemies"
In that connection, a line was
drawn between local and general
publication about site locations OF
war industries.
The committee said such informa-
ton should be withheld from gen.
eral publication, but if the con-
struction was such that it would be-
come generally known in the locality
where the work was being done "in-
formation of a non-detailed char
acter may be published by local
newspapers and should be released
by Government departments to in
terested members Of Congress for
local use"
