Big Doinss On Broadway
BY JACK .GAYER

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Nov. 7-UP)-Wheth- CT it is Roosevelt or Dewey, this will be Broadway's night to howl. !. Presidential election nights and New Years eyes are the traditional high spots in the history of the Times Square area. Whether the re- turns are palatable or not, 1t always seems that a good part of the city's seven million believe they go down better if consumed in the narrow night life district bounded by Broad way and Seventh avenue and 42nd and 47th streets. A million persons are expected to swarm Times Square and tributary streets during the evening. 2 The police figure that this elec- ton night is going to be the big gesi thing in years, possibly since the 1918 armistice. There will be more than 1000 policemen and all kinds of equipment in the Times Square district. Directions from sound trucks will guide pedestrian traffic and there just won't be any vehicular traffic.
 Store fronts in the area today in- dicated the coming storm. They were boarded up as protection to the plate glass windows.
 Not Lonesome
 The district wasn't exactly lone- some during most of the day. Many officers and some stores were closed for all or part of the day and schools were closed. so there was good supply of crowd ingredients.
 For the department stores and lesser emporiums in the chief shop ping centers it was one of the big days of the year. That genuine win- ter nip in the air sent many fam- ilies shopping for heavy clothing since it was one of the few times a lot of fathers were available during store hours. Macy's, never a store to pass up an opportunity, opened its Christmas toy department.
 Eleven legitimate theaters gave matinees to generally sell-out trade. Night performances of most attrac- tions are already sold out. The bars and night clubs expect record busi- ness but not until after g p. m.. be- cause no liquor can be sold until the polls close.

The extent to which an anti-union
employer is willing to go to prevent
organization of his employees is told
in an amazing report released by the
National Labor Relations Board.
1t disclosed how A. B. Salant, a
New York shirt manufacturer, who
ran away from that city during the
depression to escape union wages and
conditions, set up factories in eight
Tennessee towns, that he tried to run
with prison labor.
Finding this improbable, he scour-
ed the hills for workers, whom he
paid less than subsistence wages.
When union organizers appeared on
the scene, he infamed race prejudice,
condoned violence and was person
ally responsible" for union hating
campaigns, featuring terrorism and
thuggery.
All this and great deal more is
set down by C. w. Whittemore, a
trial examiner for the NLRB, who
spent months investigating Salant's
activities.
On the mill owners side, White
more said, were all the important
people, town and county officials,

business leaders, bankers and news
paper publishers.
They put up the money to build the
plants for Salant, which were turned
over to him free of rent and taxes.
Salant told them that if the plants
were organized they would be shut
down.
He even put an advertisement in
newspaper offering one of the plants
for sale and circulated the paper
throughout the territory in which he
operated. This was "phony," the re-
port charges and designed to scare
local business men.
At the urging Of Salant, vigilante
committees were set up. Hostility
against union organizers was whipped
up at public meetings called by Off
cials and by inflammatory propa-
ganda in the newspapers.
Organizers were bounded "from
post to pillar" and a number were
beaten up by hoodlums. Policemen
stood by while thugs man-handled or
ganizers and then arrested the VIC
tins, who were hailed before mayors
and ordered to leave town without

A. F. L. To Resist
Efforts To Enforce
Closed Shop BON
Amendments In Florida And
Arkansas Unconstitu-
tiondl. Pddwdy Holds

| If the states of Arkansas and Flor.
ida attempt to enforce the constitu-
! tional amendments outlawing the
closed shop, which were approved in
referenda at the recent election, the
American Federation of Labor will
Immediately challenge the action in
the courts.
Joseph A. Padway, counsel for the
Federation, declared this week that
the amendments "are clearly uncon-
stitutional," because, he contended,
"they abrogate the freedom of con-
tract guaranteed by the Federal Con
stitution."
+ Padway disclosed that he had so
advised the Executive Council of the
Federation and that he had been in
structed to institute legal proceedings
the moment the rights of workers in
Arkansas and Florida are imperiled.
Padway took the position that the
amendments also conflict with Fed
eral war powers, such as those exer-
cised by the National War Labor
Board.
When such conflicts arise, he said,
the Federal law is controlling. He
recalled that this principle was up
held by the Florida Supreme Court in
decision refusing to allow an in
junction against the closed shop
agreement entered into by Florida
shipyards and AFL unions.
In order to test the validity of the
amendments adopted by Florida and
Arkansas, Padway said, an attempt
must be made by state officials to
enforce the ban.
Up To Supreme Court
If and when that is done, the cases
will be fought all the way to the Su-
preme Court of the United States, if
necessary, to outlaw the amendments,
Padway declared.
Meanwhile, the National War La
Dor Board indicated it will ignore the
anti-union shop amendments and will
settle disputes involving union secur-
ity in Florida and Arkansas on, the
same basis that it does in all other
states.
Even if employers try to use the
new laws as an excuse for denying
of union membership, the
board asserted, it will refuse to heed
such pleas.

clusion of health insurance in our
social security system, the National
Public Opinion Research Center of
Denver reported as the result of a

Ninety-two percent of those queried
declared something should be done
to make medical care easier, and SO
per cent wanted the government to
do it through enactment of the Wag-
ner- Murray -Dnigell bill, liberalizing
social security.
This bill was drafted by the AFL
and introduced as a result of the
Federation's campaign for stronger
social security system.

Appealing in his address for "those
who left the home of labor to come

chieftain said, eff there ever was a
time when labor should be united it

sion in it's ranks"

than 100000 members in the armed

them as new members without the

man. They will be our comrades and
we will be theirs"

'No-Strike' Pledge
Held Superior To
Act Of Congress
War Labor Bourd Contends
Smith Connolly Law Does
Not Legdlize Wulkout

The War Labor Board this week
took the unusual position that labor's
voluntary "no-strike" pledge is of
greater force than an act of Con-
gress prescribing procedure that must
be followed before a strike may be
legally called.
The finding was in connection with
decree penalizing local unions of
the Brotherhood of Carpenters at
seven Midwest plants. They had call
ed strikes last August to enforce de-
mands on employers.
Denied Important Rights
While acting favorably on a num-
Der Of unions demands, the board
denied them maintenance of member
ship and check-off of dues for six
months. At the end of the probation
ary period, the board said, the unions
may come back and petition for re-
instatement of these rights.
Industry members of the board
joined in the finding, but labor men,
bers vigorously dissented, contending
the majority read into the law some
thing that was not there.
The August strikes were called
after 80 days notice to the National
Labor Relations Board, as required
by the Smith Connally Act The walk
outs were authorized and directed by
officers of the Carpen-
ters, apparently in full confidence
that the course outlined by Congress
was being followed.
Can Vote, But Not Strike
The War Labor Board, however,
that the Smith Connally
Act "did not place the stamp of ap
proval upon strikes in wartime" 1t
simply permits workers to go through
all the preliminaries leading to a
strike vote, after which they are left
in the air, the board said.
Contrary to widespread impress
sion among working men," declared
Edwin C. Witte, public member of
he board, "the act does not provide
hat after workers have voted to in
;errupt war production by a strike
hey may do so with impunity."
All that was intended, Witte as
serted, "was that the NLRB should
certify the result of the balloting to
he War Labor Board. /
Praise For Organized Labor
"It is greatly to the credit of or
,anized labor" Witte continued,
