Florida and Arkansas Seen Facing Baycott AS Result
OF November Election
wNU service)

New Orleans (ILNS).-Pledging
aggressive legal war against state
antiunion laws, Joseph A. Padway,
general counsel of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, warned here that
Florida and Arkansas, which adopted
anti-closed shop legislation at the
Nov. Z election, face labor boycotts.
A similar warning was sounded
earlier by President William Green of
the federation.
Speaking at the annual AFL con-
vention, Padway said:
eff Arkansas and Florida attempt
to enforce open-shop laws, our answer
will be that the printers will not print
the bricklayers will not lay brick and
members of the other trades will lay
down their tools rather than work
with scabs."
AFL Suits Filed
Padway announced that AFL law
yers have filed suits with the U. S
Supreme Court questioning the con-
stitutionality of what he repeatedly
referred to as "anti-union laws adopt.
ed by a number of states," adding
that the high court previously hac
upheld the "union members constitu.
tional rights not to work with non.
union men,"

Assuring convention delegates that
closed shop contracts in Arkansas and
Florida war plants care entirely safe''
because "the moment there is dis
pute the War Labor Board will take
jurisdiction and tell the states to keep
hands off," Padway warned that the
situation might become serious" in
peacetime if states attempted to en-
force laws prohibiting closed shops.
Colorado Act "MOst Vicious
Other states named by Padway as
having in effect laws opposed by
the AFL" were Colorado-which he
branded "the most vicious of alp
South Dakota and Idaho.
He added that California recently
defeated Overwhelmingly" proposed
open-shop amendment.
Padway reported that laws ''un-
friendly to labor" have been passed
Sin some form in 12 states"
Lists Restrictive Provisions
He said that these laws generally
take the form of required registration
of unions, their officials and their or
ganizers; publication Of detailed un-
ion financial reports; state regulation
Of unions internal affairs, sometimes
including the fixing of Dues" and
restriction against picketing and
strikes.

Proposing creation of an insular
economic board for Puerto Rico "to
carry out and develop such economic
and social policies as are desirable to
