Labor Report
By Bradford v. Carter

Gerard Reilly, National Labor Relations
Board member, last week reaffirmed his op-
position to foremen allying themselves with
unions of rank and file workers The Jones
and Laughlin case in which the issue was
joined was the occasion for ReiIlys express
sion of opinion. The way in which he put
forth his position on the foreman question
made 1t clear that this was not an incidental
disagreement with the rest of the Board, but
part of a deeply felt philosophy that union
power must be curbed by law
To an ordinary person the issues involved
In whether foremen have legal right to join
unions with other workers under the National
Labor Relations Act is simple;
!. Are foremen employees? OF course
they are. They are subject to close super
vision and operate within limited sphere of
activity laid down by their superiors Any
body who ever worked in factory knows knat
foremen are employees even though thay in
turn supervise other people.
2. The National Labor Relations Act says
employees are entitled to the protection ott
the Act on the theory that only by guakan
teeing such protection can disputes be mir
imized and genuine collective bargaining
operate. N
8. We have seen what happened when
foremen were denied the right to be certitid
as an appropriate collective bargaining unit
There were strikes, and many serious strikes,
too
f. Doesn't it therefore make sense that
foremen should be certified as an appropriate
unit if we want to avoid strikes of this kind?
And that furthermore the NLRB has no au-
thority to deny foremen the right to be- cer-
titled as appropriate unit?
NONSENSE
Reilly doesn't think this analysis makes
sense. In the Jones and Laughlin decision,
Reilly argued that foremen can't be certified
as an appropriate unit because foremen are
management and to permit foremen to vote for
union in which the rank and file workers are
also members would cause "a breakdown Of
management" and divided loyalty"
Reilly cites no evidence in support of his
contention. AS a matter of fact, there Is no
evidence of any consequence which shows that
worker can't be good union man and even
from management's point of view good fore
man at the same time.
But Reilly's injection of divided loyalty
as basis for appraising an appropriate unit
is not even relevant.
From the things Reilly says in this decision
and elsewhere, it is not hard to come TO the
conclusion that he is not of sympathy WITH
the purposes of the Act and has in fact allied
himself with those elements who believe CO.
ercive legislation against unions is necessary
to get relief from the Act.
Reillys term is up shortly. The character
of his decisions have clearly demonstrated
lack of sympathy with the Boards purposes
and his reappointment would be calamity
of the first order. a

The Housing Problem

One of the most disturbing postwar
problems facing this country is that of
housing.
1t is amazing in looking over the
building that is now going on in Toledo
to see tn elarge number of business build
ings which are being erected, out of all
proportion with the homes which are be-
ing built to handle the local situation.
If ever there was real need for fed
eral housing in this and other cities it is
right now, not to give wo rk to the job
less, but to eliminate a serious housing
situation which shows very little sign of
easing.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1946-03-22

It is going to take real
leadership, not back-biting to
pull this City out of the dol
drums. A newspaper mono
poly committed to a policy OF
attacking the City administra-
ton whether right or wrong
personal vindictiveness will
never be able to furnish any
part of such leadership.
The payroll tax issue has
been used as a stepping stone
for a personality fight for
much greater stakes. We find
ourselves looking both ahead
and behind. This town is still
thinking as a closed corpora
ton even though control of
Labor passed out of the hands
of the employer in 1884. Some
people are still looking for a
return ito the good old days"
that will never return.
Anyone who has had ele-
mentary chemistry will tell
you that water is made OF
hydrogen and oxygen in
proper proportion but that
the two elements will never
combine to make water unless
a catalytic agent, electricity,
is put to use. If the fight on
the payroll tax referendum is
the catalytic agent to accom-
plish the emergence of real
cooperative leadership in this
town, let's have the fight.
only want to remind you that
it is not the Blade against
the CIO or the citizenry
against the CIO. It is the an
swer to the question "Shall
this town 60 forward" Pick
your own position and stick
with it. You have two alter
native opinions from which
to pick.
1. Is the payroll tax the
answer to all the City's
troubles?
2. Should taxation be based
on the ability to pay?
The choice is yours and the r
answer lies with you the
voter.

Controlling
The Floods
Of Hatred
BY Ruth Taylor

When the SHOWS melt on the
far off mountain tops and the
spring rains begin to fall, then
those who dwell by the great
rivers watch for flood waters.
What may be life-giving
streams to great parts of our
land are devastating torrents
to other sections. Flood con-
troll is a vital subject to those
who dwell in the lowlands
through whi ich the rivers
course.
AS the war fades into
the background, our unity of
purpose no longer seems
vitally essential. AS a result
there is growing in this land
of ours increasing hatred and
bitterness b e t w e n groups.
Shall we let this flood warp
and destroy much of what we
hold dear?
We need to build walls of
understanding to hold the
hatreds out. For mutual un-
derstanding leads to mutual
trust and in trust there Is no
hate.
We need to reforest the
Scared places in our minds
scars caused by hatred, bitter
ness, despair, and intolerance
to reforest them with un-
derstanding, ompas ssion,
friendliness and love.
We need to dam back the
floods of hate with bulwarks
of education - education in
positive democratic living, in
putting into practice in our
everyday life the things in
which we believe.

RESENT TAX

The citizens resent the
present payroll tax because it
is an addition to an already
evil taxation system and it
does not recognize the prin-
eiple of the ability to pay.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1946-03-22

There has never been any question in
mind, although there seems to have beer
doubts in the minds of others about my
position or that of the majority of the m
bers of CIO respecting the payroll tax.
