port was manifested despite the
fact that no organized campaign
has yet been launched to form a
third party.
The strongest segment of sup
port for Wallace, according to the
poll, came from workers.

which are not performed or are
not to be performed"
No one can tell what h S
broad language will come to
mean. During the debate on the
Taft Hartley Bill in the SEN
ate, Senator Taft denied that
this language was intended to
affect paid holidays, vacations
and calm pay. However, its
language is so broad that en-
ployers may use it or attempt
to use it as an excuse for deny
ing these benefits to employ
ees.
O: What about free speech
for employers?
A: The Act recites that the
expressing OF any views, argu-
ments or opinions whether
in written, printed, graphic or
visual form, shall not consti-
tute or be evidence of an I'M
fair labor practice if such
an expression contains no
threat or reprisal or promise
of benefit"
Originally, under the Wag-
ner Act, the question of wheth-
er or not employees wished to
select a given union as their
bargaining agent was one for
the employees alone to deter
mine. This provision, under the
guise of ''free Speech" has
turned the question of deter
mination of an agent for pur-
poses of collective bargaining
into a contest between the en-
ployer and the union, a contest
in which each became a pro-
tagonist seeking to capture
votes of the employees.
Such was not the original
purpose of the National Labor
Relations Act. By this subver-
sion of the original purpose of
the Act, the new law permits
the employer to add to the
weight of his argument the hid
den force and threat contained
in his words by reason of his
ownership of the shop.

ternational Harvester Co. left the
picket line there at the end of
their first weeks strike to explain
how that corporation pioneered
in mass production of grievances
shortly after the bill was intro
duced and months before it be-
came law. The 800 strikers there
are members of Local of the CLIO
United Automobile Workers of
America.
GRIEVANCES and efficiency
expert tricks there are typical of
those reported from a dozen other
plants in Chicago.
Here are a few reported from
one department:
/. Management replaced a ma
chine, automatically making it
possible under the union contract
to declare a new method of op-
Grafton" and therefore refine the
job. The workers top rate, which
he couldn't make before, was thus
lowered from $25 to $18. Company
excuse: "Too much cutter change
on dies" At the same time, while
there was no question about the
experienced mans ability, his eff
ficiency rating was lowered to SO
per cent, thus making it essential
to put in 116 per cent effort to
get the results of what had form
erly been 100 per cent. 81 can't

2. Another Harvester picket ex-
planned he had not been accus-
toned to piece work bonus sys-
TENS, but had previously worked
at day rate. He had difficulty
making out on his job" studding

q: May an employer agree
to pay time lost by shop stew
ards. and grievance committee
men in investigating and nego-
tiating grievances?
A: The Act provides that San
employee shall not be prohib-
tied from comforting with en-
ployees during working time
without loss of time or pay" 1t
seems clear that time spent in
actual negotiation of grievanc-
es with the employer may be
paid for under the new law. 1t
is not equally clear that time
spent by shop stewards and
grievance committeeman in in
vestigating grievances can be
compensated by the employer
under the new law.
O: Can a labor spy or en-
ployer- informer be expelled
from a union?
A: The Act provides that an
employer may not discharge an
employee under the union Sc
curity clause (be it mainten-
ance of membership, union
shop or closed shop "if he has
reasonable grounds for believ-
ing that membership was de-
MED or terminated for reasons
other than the failure of the
employee" to pay dues and ini-
tiation fees.
While it seems clear that an
informer or labor spy may be
expelled from the union, the
employer cannot be required to
discharge the expelled inform
er or labor spy as long as the
expelled member continues to
pay his dues and has paid his
initiation fee. This provision
becomes effective August %,
1947.
q. Will the new law affect
vacations with pay, paid holt
days and calm pay?
A: The Act provides that a
trade union may not cause or at
tempt to cause an employer to
pay any money Gin the nature
of an exaction, for services

crank cases for Diesel engines"
Being an experienced shop man,
this employee found he could
speed production and make over
the rate by lining up three of the
big crank cases on the line and
studding them straight through.
The job was refined for 62 pieces,
he said, ''and l simply can't put
them out"
3. Another picket reported he
was changed from a rate of So
pieces to Sc pieces for his base
rate, making bonus virtually i'm
possible and lowering take home
pay by 81 day and $40 week.
THE ABOVE cases are quoted
in detail because they are typical
of various methods, reminiscent of
20 years ago, now being used by
foremen and efficiency experts in
some plants.
In these scattered plants where
employers are going all-out for
slave labor under the new act
usually they come in newly Or
ganized locals or those weakened
by internal friction-management
spokesman are telling stewards
and committeeman ''we have the
Taft-Hartley act"
There were typical reports like
that of Yemen P. Thompson, ne
gotiating committeeman at the
Grunwald Plating Corporation for
m m b ers of the UAW-CIO.
Thompson, who lives at $50 E.
18th ST., explained increasing diff
ficulties in settling grievances and
negotiating pay increases.
THE COMPANY changed at

company has now agreed to give
us a nickel token increase instead
of the standard Is cents per hour.

nor the union would ever tolerate
that.
II was reminded that I can be

in the toilet. So this is Taft-Harf-
ley in action"
Other local union presidents in
various plants reported costly Ito

time" and attempts to tougher up
regulations on rest periods and
cleanup time.

Gals and rank and file workers
around the loop and down in South
Chicago showed the new assault
was being initiated carefully and
quietly by employers with thou
sand and one tricks which boil
down to one hyphenated word:
tSpeed-up."
Shop stewards came down town
to report the era of digger and
stronger headaches" in trying to
settle grievances and negotiate
contracts.
PIEcING the facts together
from the industrial sections of this
nations second largest city, two
trends apparently were being fol-
lowed during the first stages of
hangover from passage of the slave
labor act:
a. One group of management Of
ficials, drunk with power,
1eaped in with efficiency experts
and hard-boiled foremen to cut
wages and stimulate unemploy-
ment through speed-up methods.
One management spokesman told
a representative of the United
Electrical Radio & Machine work
ers,, 'the contract is dead"
.. A second group delayed i'm
mediate action. One punch
press operator said, 81 guess
they're trying to show the new act
will work lull US to sleep
and then slug US later"
WHILE most top leaders de-
clined to be quoted at this time,
they did indicate that many of
this second group of employers
here in Chicago are afraid of re-
suits if they try to re-establish
1919 conditions in one stroke.
They also believed that employers
are awaiting the August % dead
line, when the Wagner Act be-
comes virtually nullified.
Many unions here and national
lY have decided not TO use the
National Labor Relations Board
since it viii belong 10 employers
