PEELED to discharge every union member who fails
maintain his union membership in good standing
(non-payment of dues, etc.,. Maintenance of men,
bership' is the starting phase which inevitably
leads to the full closed shop and labor monopoly.
The proposed order violates the fundamental prin
cipes of liberty. Liberty requires that employee
be free join to refuse to Join, resign from
union without losing his job. Liberty requires that
employer be free employ the person best
suited for the work
g. Wards has consistently defended these principles of
liberty. In times of peace, Wards successfully de-
MED all demands for the closed shop in any form.
Two years ago the Teamsters' Union, in effort
to force closed shop maintained vicious
months strike against Wards retail and mail
order houses the Pacific Coast. Two mail order
houses and six retail stores were forced close,
forty-three other stores were picketed and Wards
suffered damages exceeding million dollars.
Employees were slugged, customers abused, and
property destroyed. The railroads, the express
panies, the truckers and finally the United States
Post Office obeyed the demands of the union and,
with total disregard for their obligations to the
public and in violation of law, refused service
Wards and its customers. Nevertheless, Wards,
while announcing its willingness to bargain and
with the union refused to compromise the
principles it defending. The strike did end
until the union, in writing withdrew its demand
for a closed shop.
Even if the War Labor Board had the authority
which it lacks, it should not, in time of war; when
sacrifices are demanded of all, grant any union
privilege could not have obtained in time of peace

NATIONAL WAR
February 27, 194s
National War Labor Board
Washington D. c.
Gentlemen:
A National War Labor Board panel has recommended
that the Board issue another order against Montgomery
Ward and Co. imposing upon Wards six large
in Denver, Detroit and New York City:
IA form of closed shop called maintenance of men,
bershp," together with a checx-off of union dues
from wages
2 Compulsory arbitration of any question the union
wishes to raise
Wards objects the proposed order for these
The War Labor Board without authority Congress-
the only law-making authority under the Constitu-
tion has empowered the Board order any
employer to adopt these requirements.
2 The War Labor Board, by ordering closed shop in
this case, will be furthering disrespec for constit
tional authority. The Board is attempting
power to make rules and laws by executive fiat
alone. The public is being deceived into believing
that the Boards orders have the force of law when
in fact they have such effect Employees are being
confused and deceived into believing that their
government desires them to join labor unions when
in fact the national policy declared by Congress
is that employees are free to join not, they
wish. Thus the Board is destroying the very
of democracy, the ight of the people to make laws
through those whom the people elect for that
purpose.
g. The War Labor Board, by promiscuously granting
form of tie closed shop, is destroying the
laws constitutionally enacted by Congress. The
National Labor Relations Act endorses, guarantees
and encourages the process of collective bargaining
The orders of this Board, however, have led the
unions abandon collective bargaining. The union
in this has rushed to the War Labor Board in
the conviction that the Board will grant more than
it could obtain through collective bargaining, the
procedure which Congress has sought protect
and encourage. Other unions following the
Thus the Board, by this proceeding and by
its policies proclaimed in other proceedings of
this is nullifying the public policy of the
ton declared by Congress and set forth in the
National Labor Relations Act Laws passed by Con-
gress, the only law-making authority under
Constitution not legally be repealed by execu
tive decree
4. The proposed order would require Wards violate
the law 1t would require Wards, first, to interfere
with the free choice of its employees resign from
the union second, to give support to the union by
check-of of union dues; and third, to discriminate
against employees if they resign their membership
in the union, all in direct violation of the National
Labor Relations Act.
s. Wards operates in a highly competitive field COM
posed of one million seven hundred fifty thousand
retail establishments is unfair impose burdens
upon Wards and not upon those with whom it is in
