Is The Wagner Act A 1-Way Street?
 By Jack Abbott
By Jack Abbott
Federated Press

will the board normally intervene in purely jurisdictional disputes in- vOlving affiliates of the same parent organization. These are merely some examples. There are others.
 DOUBLE PUNISHMENT
 Thus there are two answers to those who assert that the Wagner act is one-sided. First, such an assertion begins with a false statement of the problem. Second, there are plenty of situations where, as the labor board interprets the act, employees lose their rights by conduct regarded as i'm proper.
 As a matter of fact, it is asserted that the NLRB goes too far in this direction, for it often results in dou- ble punishment of the employe, He may be punished by the criminal law for the violence; he is also pun ished by the board when it denies him remedy for the employers unfair labor practice. Nor is this all. Not only does the employe get it in the neck twice, but the em- plOyer, who is at the same time guilty of such practices, gets off scOt-free.
 And is THAT one-sided? What do you think?

Religion, Labor Can Co-0perate,
 Says Foundation
New Haven Headquarters Outlines Joint Achieve
 ments In Pamphlet

Men of good will in the ranks of both organized religion and organized labor, have much in common, says the Religion and Labor Foundation which has national headquarters in New Haven. This nonsectarian body, now 13 years old, has just issued pamph- let outlining the work that can be done for the common good by joint local groups of clergymen and union representatives. Titled Walking To- gether, Religion and Labor, the pamphlet lists these suggested pro- jects for such groups:
 Work for full employment and guaranteed annual wage, Work for minimum wage of 65 cents per h our, Combat discrimination against minOrities, Work for rapid and efficient reconversiOn, Clear slums and plan communities, Fight unfair labor practices, Support pub lie health and hospitaIization. Equalize educational and recrea. tional opportunities, Help organize underpaid workers, Support needed legislation, fight dangerous bills. Exchange speakers.

Results of the poll are carried in the March issue of the official organ, The Machin. ists Journal, showing s, ,445 vot- ing for deferment of AFL per capi. ta, and l3,85l against. The ma jor. ity was 39,594.

 QUESTION. Has it been deter mined whether the SteelwOrkers violated their contract with US. Steel by striking?
 ANSWER. The fact-finding panel decided only the other day that the union did NOT break its contract. But of course would have a hard job finding that in the daily press.

Measure Endangers Health Of Public

Washington (LPA) = Opposition witnesses are attempting to block a measure now before House subco:n- mittee which threatens the health of many Americans. The bill, introduced by Rep. B. C. Reece (R., Tenn. would weaken the Federal Trade Commissions powers to crack down on firms falsely advertising foods, drugs, devices or cosmetics which are inherently dangerous to health.
 The bill almost was slipped through quietly, but consumer spokesmen. got wind of what was happening, and are testifying this week before a House Interstate and Foreign Commerce sub committee against the Reece bill.
 ETC Reports
 Supporting their stand is a Federal Trade Commission report on the Reece bill, charging that it would seriously weaken that provision of the present law which was and is especial ly desgned to protect the health of the consuming and using public"
 Most shocking of the amendments that Reece tried to put over is one which, according to the ETC would limit the responsibility of the adver- tiser to the affirmative representations made directly or by implication, and would make it impossible to require those who advertise potentially dan gerous drugs or devices to disclose to the public the consequences which may result from the use of their products under the conditions prescribed in the advertisement or under such conditions as are customary or usual"

 ''You'll never get 3O%o for your own, girls, if you don't stand be- hind the other girls husbands" she told them. The crowd disbanded, practically all of them putting ny. Ions off their list until union clerks sold them.

 How an anti-labor Senator can change his views on basic issues within 4 days, depending on whose OK is gored, is illustrated by Sena. tor Ball, of Minnesota.
 When AFL President William Green objected before the Senate Labor Committee to provisions in the Case bill giving the federal government jurisdiction to deal with violence in picketing because such matters should be handled by state or local authorities, Senator Ball differed sharply.
 But only a few days before, while questioning witness favOring re- tention the federal operation of the United States Employment Service, Senator Ball said:
 ''The premise that somehow or other the federal government has the interests of the people more at heart than a state government goes contrary to my concept of democ- racy and the way it works, which is that the government which is clos. est to the people is likely to be most responsive to the needs of the people,"

TWO-WAY STREET,

One of the principal criticisms Ievelled at the Wagner act is that 1t is one-sided, that it prohibits unfair labor practices of employers but says nothing about any unfair prac- tices of uniOns-hence the act is unfair and should be amended. Let us examine this bit.
 The criticism begins with false assumption. The act merely evens up what would be a one-sided proposition without it. The Wagner act is not a statute which covers all labor rela- tions. It was designed to cover only a part of it. It simply guarantees to em- ployes freedom of choice in picking their representatives. In order to in- sure this freedom an election proce- dure is provided and the employer is prohibited from interfering. The act is simply industrial democracy within the boundaries of its purpose.
 MANY OTHER LAWS
 There are many other laws which bear on labor relations The wage and hour act, the Walsh -Healey act, the ''kick-back" statutes, the antistrike- breaker act, and, in addition to these and other federal statutes, many state statutes and city ordinances. All have to do with certain aspect of labor re- lations. All are presumably designed to remedy specific evils. The employer need not object because the Wagner act does not punish employees engaged in strike violence. Employees can be punished by the criminal law for that.
 The Wagner act is not One-sided merely because it covers only a par ticular evil, unless you also say that the law against robbery is one-sided because it does not punish for mur- der. The question is not whether the act is One-sided, but whether the state of the law as whole is One-sided.
 And in order to answer that ques- ton, it isn't enough to look at a single law. You have to look at all of it. Before the Wagner act was passed an employer could fire em' pIoyes for union activities. THAT was certainly one-sided. Is the Wag ner act One-sided now because such conduct is therein prohibited? We hardly think so.
 ANOTHER ANSWER
 What we have said is the answer usually given to the argument as tc one -sidedness. But there is another answer that we want to emphasize one that is usually ignored. It is the NLRB which puts life Cor death) into the act As it has interpreted the act there is plenty of two-sidedness with in its four corners even without refer ence to possible punishments of em- ployes by other laws. Indeed, there is probably too much two-sidedness.
 For example, employees who en. gage in violence during strikes lose reinstatement and back pay. If they break their contract by striking they lose these rights. If they strike on shipboard, or if they strike to compel violations of certain federal statutes they lose such rights. Nor

Senate Committee To Act On Housing
(Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One)
 Two sets of facts, revealed here last week, underlined the need for a quick Congressional action to back up Housing Expediter Wilson Wyatt.
 The amount of money spent in February for privately financed residential construction was only about half of the monthly average needed to provide the volume of housing called for in the Adminis- tration housing program, the Dept. of Commerce revealed. The rise in commercial building = every thing from stores to bowling alleys and roadhOuses - kept pace with the rise in residential building, des- pite the present order channeling 40@o of scarce building materials into residential construction. Wy att was expected momentarily to issue an order curtailing such lux ury commercial building.
