JurisdiefionaI Disputes

Whenever it is charged that

coursging a juridictional dispute
the Regional Director will as.
tsign priority to that case.
O-If, after investigation, it ap-

tor that further proceedings
tshould be instituted, he serves
on all the parties to the dispute
a Notice of Hearing which in
cludes a simple statement of is
sues The hearing is scheduled
for not less than 10 days after
service of the notice.
OFF within 10 days of the no

the Regional Director satisfac-
tory evidence that they have
been adjusted or agreed upon
methods of adjustment of the
iurisdictional dispute, the case
is closed at that point, either by
withdrawal or dismissal of the
charge. The parties may agree
on an arbitrator, an election or
any other satisfactory method to
resolve the dispute.
A-If the parties have not come

days, a hearing, usually open to
the public, is held before a Hear

the law, in these cases, as in
representation cases, the rules of
evidence prevailing in courts of
law of equity will not be con-

IILGA Union Wins
Immunity From
tn LEGISLATION

NEW YORK (LPA) - The
pattern chalked out by the Inter
national Ladies Garment Work
ers Union-AFL for its contracts
while the Taft-Hartley law is in
effect, was made clear last week
with the signing of the first
major contract since the law was
passed.
The 1900 workers in the
negligee and lingerie industry
in New York are covered by
the contract, negotiated by Local
81 of the ILG. A TIC pay raise
is one feature of the new agree
ment, which runs for three
years.
The union agrees not to call or
approve any strikes or work
stoppages while the contract is
in effect, unless an employer
refuses to take disputes to
arbitration, or refuses to accept
an arbitrator's decision.
If a wildcat strike takes place,
the union agrees to endeavor in
good faith to persuade the work
ers to return to the job within
49 hours after it is told of the
Walkout.
The union shop is maintained
by the new contract. The en-
ployers and the union agree they
will go to the courts only if
the other party refuses to abide
by the arbitration machinery set
up by the contract.

the UAw got 385 of these II
would have enough to be certi'
fled as collective bargaining
agent.
The catch is that the CIC
unions are refusing to file the
"non-Communist "affidavits re-
quired by the new law. And
Denham has ruled that the Board
will not allow the UAW to be
certified, no matter how many
votes it might win out of the
challenges, because it hasn't
filed.
Further complicating the pic
ture is the fact that the unions
charge Glenn Martin, head of
the giant aircraft company, with
actively campaigning on behalf
of mo union"
There is no indication as yet
as to whether or not the UAW
will 60 into the courts to test
the Denham ruling.

on whether they wish to author

that at least 80 percent of them
so desire and where no question
concerning representation exists.

The immediate period just before us Is
one in which the future of our country and
the progress made by Labor in our country
is to be decided to large degree. The pro-
posed Labor Law Bill which is soon to be
sent to the President is being presented to the
public with lot of color and misleading pro-
paganda. For instance, one of the main points
of this propaganda is that the law will catch
up with Union abuses of power. What about
law catching up with the abuses of manage.
ment power? Have you as an individual, ever
been dismissed? Have you been laid-off from
work without any reasonable excuse? Does
management ever give any excuse other than
the one which they all use; namely, that they
have no money. Why curb what is termed the
abuses of power when the majority of cases
at which this is aimed is only use of power
to prevent determinations by arrangements?
Under the proposed law, the National La.
Dor Relations Board would be placed into
purely political machine composed of mem.
bers selected by the party leaders whose names
are then submitted to Congress for a formal.
ity of approval Instead of having an indie
pendently functioning government agency
which could handle cases to large degree
from the terrific pressure of politics this
agency will probably become ineffective and
next to useless as compared to the aims and
ideals for which it was established. Even the
general council of the National Labor Rela-
tions Board will have to have the approval of
the Senate which will undoubtedly mean that
it will be subjected to various types of political
pressure in the handling of cases, especially,
would this be true in the case against any EN-.
ployer who might have contributed heavily in
the political campaign of the party in power.
1t seems to me that the rights of mnorities
which have been expanded and guarded in
accord with the principles of the four free
doms are due for a setback here in our own
country which produced the wear with alp
to win the war that was fought for the estab-
lishment of these four freedoms.
