Right Of Supervisors
To Organize Upheld
In NLRb Dissent
Choirmon Mills Splits
With Majority on Denial
Of Boards Protection
b the Associated Press.

By the ASSoC1Ated Press.
Chairman Harry A. Mills of the
National Labor Relations Board
contended in an opinion today that
supervisors in mass production in
dustries are employees whose right
to organize and bargain collectively
should no more be circumscribed
than the rights of any other group
Of employees.
Mr.. Millis's opinion is dissent
in the Maryland Drydock Co. case
The majority decision, issued May
II by Board Members Gerard D.
Reilly and John M Houston, de-
clined to recognize units of super
visory employees as appropriate for
collective bargaining.
Sees Policy Unwarranted.
IT perceive no warrant" said
Chairman Mills, ''in the (Wagner)
act, the history of industrial rela-
tions or in the facts Of this
case for concluding, as a
matter OF policy, that the protec-
ton by this board of the right to
collective bargaining under the act
should be denied to supervisory en-
ployes.'
Mr. Mills said collective bargain
Ing by supervisory employees has
long been accepted in the maritime
and railroad industries: that it is
common knowledge that the super
visory employees in these two indus
tries exercise substantially more
powers as representatives of man.
agement than the average foreman
in mass production industries, and
that no serious issues have arisen
from their recognition for collec-
tive bargaining purposes.
why asked Mr.. Mills. "is not
the experience in these fields per-
suasive that parallel development,
within the framework of the act, Is
feasible in the mass production in
dustries?"
Attitude Called Negative.
~The policy established by the
majority attempts to prevent diff
culties from arising through FORE
mems organization by denying fore
mems organizations the protection
of the act. This is a policy of
negation, which does nothing to-
wards constructive solution of the
real problems of the foremen. OF
course, foremen, as employees, have
the right to organize and 10 seek
recognition. Perhaps, many en-
pIoyers will regard it as wise to grant
this recognition.
Insofar as such voluntary recog-
milton is withheld tby the en-
ployer>, foremen must grin and
bear IT. or resort to the use of their
economic power, an alternative
which the act was meant to dis
courage
