0'Dwyer Seeks 10 Avert
Strike on Queens Buses
BY the Associofsd Press

BY the Associofsd Press
NEW YORK, June 30.-Mayor
O'Dwyer acted today to avert a
threatened strike of drivers and me-
chanics for two Queens bus lines
which he said would "gravely affect
the interests of the people of the
city and it's business" and leave large
areas of Queens County without sur
face transportation.
He summoned representatives Of
the union and companies in the wage
dispute to confer with him at City
Hall in an effort to hold off the
walkout which is scheduled for 1901
m. tomorrow with the expiration
of contracts.
Involved in the dispute are the
Triboro Coach Corp. and the Green
Bus Lines, Inc, and two locals of the
AFL Amalgamated Association of
Street, Electric Railway & Motor
Coach Employees.
In report to the mayor on the
bus dispute, Edward C. Mcguire, di-
rector of the city's division of labor
relations, recommended that the
mayor request the parties agree to
arbitration beyond the time of the
contract expiration.

present rate of $1.20 on the Green
line and s1.l3 on the Triboro.

are turned back to the operators.
Injunction Procedure Difficult.
An official of the Coal Mines Ad-
ministration, said the men were
entitled to the vacation time under
their contract, if they were quail
fled for it by working for year.
Most Federal attorneys contend
that while the new Taft-Hartley
Act provides for dealing with ma
tional emergency strikes, its injunc-
ton procedure would be difficult to
apply to Mr.. Lewis and his miners.
This is because the miners tech
nically will not have an employer
after July 8. Their contract has
run out and they traditionally con-
tend it would amount to 'trespass-
ing" for them to enter the mines
without a new one.
Agreeing with the Government
view that an injunction move ap-
pears impossible, AFL Chief Coun-
sci Joseph Padway said yesterday
there is nothing to prevent the
miners from staying home" when
their vacation ends.
He added, however, that there
also is nothing to prevent the
operators from hiring. new work.

Mr.. Padway 1ashed out at the
Taft-Hartley Act at a news con-
ference (which concluded a Two
day session of 100 AFL attorneys.
AS did their CIO counterparts
earlier in the week. the AFL legal
experts agreed to seek immediate
court tests of various sections of
the new law and to work to defeat
the lawmakers who write it into
the statute books over President
Truman's veto.

Acheson Is Recipient
OF Medal for Merit

Dean Acheson, retiring Undersec-
retary of State, was awarded the
Medal of Merit for his "outstand-
ing services" to the country in a
surprise ceremony at the White
House today.
President Truman pinned the
medal on Mr.. Acheson's chest after
reading a citation describing him
as lone of the architects of victory
and of the struggle for peace"
The citation added that Mr.
Acheson brought to the councils
of Government a long view and a
genius for bold design typifed by
the Acheson- -Lilienthal plan for
international control of atomic
energy"
Coming as surprise to Mr.
Acheson, the medal was presented
in ceremony on the White House
lawn, attended by Secretary of
State Marshall, former Secretary of
State James F. Byrnes, Mrs. Ache
son and numerous high State De-
partment officials.
This is Mr. Acheson's last day In
office. His resignation to return to
private law practice here was ac-
cepted by the President more than
a month ago, but Mr.. Acheson re-
manned in Office until today to
break in his successor, Robert A.
Lovett.
Mr.. Lovett, former Assistant Sec
retary of War for air, is due to be
sworn in tomorrow.

Unions Race to Test New Laws
Curbs on Political Activities

1.-The Wagner Act into the Taft-Hart-
ley law. The most important one is
that which compels an employer to
bargain with duly selected union
of his employees.
In his message vetoing the Taft
Hartley bill, President Truman pre-
dicted that where a union lost its
rights because an official refused to
certify on the Communist provision
it would be likely to strike to force
the employer to bargain.
There are many unions which
never have had to go to the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board for
Government help at all in dealing
with employers. The instances, for
example, where employers have
recognized unions as bargaining
agents, may be counted in the thou
sands.
But. every union likes the feeling
that the means of protecting its
rights are there If needed.
Fur Workers Union Cited.
The only major union headed by
an avowed Communist is the CIO
International Fur and Leather
Workers Union. Ben Gold of New
York is president, and his officer
ship would prevent the union from
seeking NLRB help in compelling
an employer to bargain or to obtain
union shop. 1t is said, however,
the furrier's union in the past rarely
has used the NLRB.
Regarding the provision restrict
ing political activities of union
newspapers, the AFL says it would
prevent the $50 papers of its unions
from giving their views on candi-
dates for Federal Offices.
i The law forbids all expenditure"
; by unions, banks and corporations
in connection with presidential, vice
presidential, and congressional
primaries, caucuses, conventions
; and general elections.
. In the past, Only campaign con-
tributions of unions have been
; prohibited. Individual union men,
bers, of course, have been per-
!, mitted, and still are, to make con-
tributions.
The amendment il interpreted as
meaning that a union may not pay
i. for political advertisements in news
5 papers of general circulation, buy
! radio time for electioneering, or
use union funds to print newspapers
which carry political opinion.
Some people have interpreted the
last as preventing the general prac-
tices of the CIO and AFL OF carry
ing the voting records on bills OF
members Of Congress.
Senator Taft, Republican, OF OHIO
/. one of the laws sponsors, has said
that unisn newspapers which are
supported by subscriptions and ad-
: vertising would not be affected by
{. the restrictions. Howevr, most union
papers are sent to all members as
. a sort of dividend acruing from pay
: ment of dues. 1t is believed that
5 such papers would be restricted.
! This section of the act is rather
: ambiguous and loosely phrased. In
terpreted strictly, it could prevent
even newspapers of general circula-
: ton which are incorporated from
: making any expenditure" in con-
5 nection with a Federal political
: campaign, since there is no limita-

Day Care Centers Shut
To Await New Fund

The Districts II day care centers
were shut today although Congress
has approved legislation to extend
the life of some of them for another
year.
The centers, however, have no
funds to operate and will stay shut
until Congress appropriates the
s150,000 already given legislative
approval. Acting Director Raymond
Clapp of the Welfare Department
said a member of the House District
Committee probably would ask the
House Appropriations Committee to
provide the necessary funds.
Mr.. Clapp said the Welfare De-
partment had hopes that the CEN
ters could reopen next week. In
the meanwhile, he said, mothers
either are staying home from work
to look after children usually cared
for in the centers or have made
other temporary arrangements.
When funds are received, MI
Clapp said, only six of the II CEN
tiers will reopen. They will take
care of 270 children, as compared
with 400 children served by the

The new Taft-Hartley Labor
Act contains provision de-
signed to smoke out a Commu-
mist from union Office and an
other which sharply restricts po-
litical activities of union news
papers.
Those two limitations are sure to
come in for quick court tests, and
there is a race on among host OF
unions. all anxious to be the first
to violate the restrictions put around
their publications. They will be
able to get the issue into Federal
court merely by violating the act.
Then, of totally different natures
there are other provisions which
take away collective bargaining
rights of unions of supervisory en-
ployes and put restrictions on health
and welfare funds supported en-
tirely by employers.
Supervisors May Form Unions.
Supervisors are excluded from
protection of the law. although they
may, if they wish, form unions ano
employers still may deal with them
However. there no longer is any
compulsion on employers to bargain
with such unions. The National La
Dor Relations Board has interpreted
the Wagner Act, which controlled
employer-worker relations before
the aft-Hartley law amended it
as giving protection to unions o1
supervisors and the board forcee
managements to bargain with them
The act describes supervisor a.
"any individual having authority
in the interest of the employer, u
hire, transfer, suspend, lay of, re
call, promote, discharge, assign
award or discipline other employees
or responsibility to direct them, o
to adjust their grievances, or t.
effectively recommend such action
if in connection with the foregoing
the exercise of such authority i
not of a merely routine or clerica
nature, but requires the use OF in
dependent Judgment"
| Welfare funds supported by EN-
ployers and operated solely by union
are outlawed. An example of al
Arrangement which now is banne'
is the fund the hard coal operator
gave John L. Lewis United Min
Workers, which is supported by
levy of S cents on each ton OF Goa
mined.
Joint Administration Required.
! The soft coal industry welfar
fund, supported in the same w1
would appear legal since it call
for administration by union, EN-
ployer and impartial trustees How
ever. in recent negotiations, MI
Lewis has proposed that the fun
be operated entirely by the union
! Funds must be jointly admins
tered to be legal. The act also say
that any such arrangement writttel
into a collective bargaining con
tract since December 81, 194o, mus
comply with the provisions. A Sc
of rules for operation, and the pur
poses for which the fund may b
eXpended, are included. Violator
of the section of the act may b
punished by heavy fines and i'm
prisonment.
The new law does not bar Com
munists from unions, but in effec
| it is made difficult for Communist
! to hold union Office
| All union officers must state il
writing once a year whether or no
they are Communists. If they fal
to supply such testimony or if the.
say they are Communists then thei
union loses its rights under the law
| There are, of course, many uniol
RIGHTS which are carried over from
