Cannery Union Head
Says Troops Offered
To Pay Labor Dues
BY the Associated Press.

.
TRENTON, N. j., Sept. l6.-The
business manager of a Cannery
Workers Union local, commentine
on an allegation that the union had
compelled soldiers working as
volunteer employees in South Jer.
sey tomato canneries to pay union
dues, said yesterday the soldiers had
offered to pay the dues land every.
body was satisfied"
Leon Schachter, an official ol
Meat and Cannery Workers Union
Local Sc (AFL), asserted the alle-
cation was "a smear against union
labor"
Herbert w. Voorhees,, president
of the New Jersey Farm Bureau
told a crowd OF 1000 at the New
Jersey State Fair here that he was
shocked beyond words to learn that
when a contingent of soldiers re-
ported for work at a certain South
Jersey cannery, the management
was instructed to make the usual
union dues deductions from the can
merry pay envelope of each one"
Opposes Lewis Move.
Mr. Voorhees,. who operates gen.
eral farm at Hopewell, also is ma
tional president of Free Farmers,
Inc, which has combated efforts
of John L. Lewis to enroll in the
United Mine Workers of America
the dairy farm operators of the
Northeastern States.
Soldiers from Fort Dix helped to
relieve labor shortage at the can
neries during the peak of the to-
mato processing season.
I'VE farmers are proud of the
Job they did for u.s. Mr.. Voorhees,
said, but when we were informed
that these boys were compelled to
pay union dues, we are not too
proud of the union organization
which collected these dues"
Mr.. Schachter confirmed that
Several hundred" soldiers paid
union dues of Is cents per week for
8 period extending over four or five
weeks during the summer. He said
Is cents was the temporary workers
rate. as compared. with rate of 81
a month for permanent workers.
CIO Didn't Ask Dues.
He contended the collection was
required under a closed shop agree
ment the union had with the p. j,
Ritter Co. and Edgar F. Hurff cam
neries. Approximately rs soldiers
were employed at each cannery dur
Ing the peak of the labor shortage,
he said, and were paid union wages
ranging from SO to 60 cents an hour
which, Mr.. Schachter asserted, gave
them little extra spending money
which they were glad to get" a.
He said the only objection to the
collection of dues from soldiers
which he had heard was from the
gentleman making this speech to
some farmers at the fair today"
He doesn't represent the cannery
business at all" said Mr.. Schachter
Meanwhile the State CIO an
nounced that Local 80 of the United
Cannery and Agricultural Workers
tCIO) had not required the payment
of union dues by soldiers working
at the Campbell Soup Co. plant In
Camden, the States largest cannery
Many employees of the Campbell
plant are members OF the local, but
said President Irving Abramson of
the State CIO, "at that plant there
is not even closed shop, so that
even civilians who are not members
of the union are not required to
pay dues"

Our Fig hting Men Must Pay Taxes, Too

men are assessed as usual. And they
may be sued for foreclosure Of property
or collection of alleged debts or for dam
ages. But-and this is their protection
Congress mas given the courts sweep
ing powers of discretion under which
judges may defer execution of foreclosure
or judgment or postpone trials for the
duration and for reasonable period
afterward. The Supreme Court has held
that Congress may legislate In certain
spheres for all courts, whether State or
Federal, and the Soldiers and Sailors
Civil Relief Act applies to all.
The object OF these provisions Of the
act and its amendments is, In general,
to protect those whose military service
has impaired their earning power and
made 1t difficult or impossible to pay
taxes or debts 1t is not intended to
promote evasion Of obligations which
could be met
If soldier can't pay tax on his
property he Is required to file an affidavit
with the tax collector declaring his In
ability to pay by reason Of his service.
This same procedure is followed If
mortgage holder attempts to foreclose
on a serviceman's property. and tho
judge has the right to defer the tax
sale or mortgage foreclosure until not
more than six months after the soldier
leaves the Army. Similarly, If he is sued
for damages for any reason the Judge
may refuse to declare default judy
ment for failure Of the defendant to
appear and hold the case in allegiance
until the soldier comes home
Army and Navy officers and members
OF Congress particularly interested in
protecting servicemen from Injustice
while they are fighting for their country
believe that, in an overwhelming number
of instances, these legal safeguards and
deferments will be ordered wherever
there is reasonable showing Of merit
In the contention of the n1ilitarymen.
While Americas provisions for pro-
tecting her boys" are not as sweeping
as those of some other jurisdictions
for instance, the Canadian province of
Alberta, where a soldiers home property
with its buildings, Is exempt from all
taxation while he is In service-it Is
pointed out that, II present measures
prove insufficient. Congress always can
extend more lenient regulations on taxes
ana court procedure. And confidence is
expressed that most internal revenue
collectors. State and local tax collectors
and judges will lean over backward to
help soldier or a sailor.
