Union Security

As to union security, what there Is
Of that in the new act is of little use
to any legitimate union. The new law
requires an election among employees
on union security ever before the com-
mittee goes in to see management.
These elections are so rugged that ev-
cry employe who doesn't vote is count
ed as voting no.
Having won the election and per-
suaded the employer to give union Sc
curity Che still has an absolute right
to refuse it even if the union won the
election) what does the union get?
Practically nothing.
Let's imagine the situation where
the union has won union security in
its contract. The employer puts a
professional stool pigeon and %disrupter
into the union, and the union discover
ing this expels him from the union.
AS long as the stool pigeon is willing
to pay his union dues he cannot be
discharged under the union security
clause.
If the stool pigeon moves on to a
mill in another town where the union
has a contract. and it prevents him
from getting a job there, he can col
lect damages and back pay from the
union because it has "discriminated
against him
Union Problems
Union members who are discharged
for union activities may still file
charges with the NLRB as individuals
even though their union has not reg
istered and filed affidavits. This un
doubtedly will be done under the new
law. The NLRB will have a neat prob
lem to solve when it writes its deci
sions in these cases.
The usual pre-Taft-Hartley order re
quired the employer not to interfere
with the union. If the NLRB now
writes an order in that manner the
employer may argue that since the
union was ineligible to bring the
charge in its W name it should moi
receive the benefits Of an order OBJ
tanned by an individual union mem
Der.
And if a charge is filed that a uniol
is engaged in a jurisdictional strike OF
boycott. NLRB is required to give tina
case top priority over everything elst
including unfair labor practices pend
ing for a year or more. II the regiona
attorney finds that such a strike o.
boycott exists, he must i~mmediatel,

In Black by Wartime
Calls, Official Testifies
By the Associoted Press

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 6.-R. w.
Niche, vice president of the Chesa-
peake & Potomac Telephone Co. of
Virginia, told the State Corporation
Commission yesterday that the
company was kept in the black in
it's operations during the war prin-
cipally by the 'phenomenal' in
crease in revenues from interstate
long distance calls.
Mr.. Niche was a witness at a
hearing by the sec into the utility's
application for marginal rate in
creases that would boost residence
telephone charges by about Is
cents per month and business rates
by about so cents.
Referring to an increase in intra-
state rates granted by the sec last
January, Mr. Niche said the boosts
were based on 1916 needs. The situ-
alton now, he added, has changed
materially and more money is
needed
Lester r. Conley, representing the
Arlington County Public Utilities
Commission, asked Mr. Niche If he
could separate the earnings in the
area from those elsewhere
in the State. His question was over
ruled.
T. Justin Moore, attorney for the
telephone company, said wage in
creases amounting to $1,150.000 per
year were granted last May. He
also stated that there had been an
increase of $10,OOo,OO in the COM
pany's net investment for the first
nine months of 1947.

Agreement was reached also on
minimum clearance specifications
which the Navy had insisted on in

These specifications call for 450-
foot horizontal clearance between
tenders, 200-foot vertical clearance
when the vertical lift draw is open
and 60-foot vertical clearance when
the draw is closed. The latter
specification will permit tugs and
other small craft to pass beneath

Your ear

The Psalms of David bring
comfort to Isaac Kaplan and
his wife Greta.
Isaac came to America In
1889. He and his first wife Re-
becca, left their cattle farm in
Poland near the Russian
border as the Nazi persecution
of the Jews reached toward
them.
They came to Washington,
where their son already had
found peace and freedom from
oppression. They settled down
to work and save money to
send for their four daughters
and two sons still in the Old
Country. Isaac became a sex
ton in a synagogue.
Then came the partition of
Poland and the Nazi invasion.
Rebecca shuddered at each
new report of terror, thinking
of her own children. No word
came of them. Rebecca grew
more and more frail, and then
Isaac was left a WidoWer. Two
years later his son here died.
Isaac had found another
helpmate in Greta, also from
the Old Country. They made
their own way until Isaac
suffered a heart attack. He
had to- give up his job. His
sickness took their savings.
There was no one to whom
they could go.
Friends thought of the He
brew Home for the Aged.
There Isaac and Greta could
be- together, go regularly to
the synagogue at the home,
have the Kosher food they
loved. Isaac could have the
medical care he needed.
Because the people of Wash
ington support the home
through the Community Chest

and Greta. This is only one
