UNIV Journal Urges
Labor Not 10 Accept
Fascist Labor Law
By jones Y. Newton

John L. Lewis United Mine
Workers Journal today strongly
urged organized labor not to ac-
cept the ft-Hartley Act and
to work unrelentingly for it's
repeal.
While Mr.. Lewis has given no
indication whether he and other
union officials will sign the anti
Communist afldavits and other
statements required by the new law,
the journal in Labor Day edi-
torial stated:
once union accepts the pro-
visions of, the Fascist NAM-Taft-
Harley law as means of adjudi-
eating its wage rates and working
conditions, it leaves all hope be-
hind"
The question of what labor must
do about the law" the publication
stated, "cannot be resolved by a
few unions filling out anti Com
ME affldavits and filing financial
statements because their troubles
would just begin. Unions cannot
forfeit their rights of free collec-
tive bargaining and live. There
is no point of wisdom in fighting
a stacked deck with a burrocrat
as the leader"
Law Requires Affidav Wits.
Under the new law, union off,
GERS must file with the Government
the anti-Communist affdavits ano
unions must file financial state
ments and other data before they
can receive the protection of the
law, including the right to file I'M
fair labor charges against employ
ers and requests for bargaining and
union shop elections.
Should Mr.. Lewis decide to ignore
the new law it would mean that its
help would be denied all of the
unions of the AFL. with which the
mine workers are affiliated. Robert
N. Denham. general counsel of the
National Labor Relations Board,
recently ruled that all officers of the
AFL as we'll as officers of individual
unions must file the Communist
affidavits Mr. Lewis is vice presi-
dent of the AFL.
Meanwhile, A. D. Denny Lewis,
brother of John L. and head of the
mine workers District so, denied
that his organization which includes
workers from many different in
dustries had decided to boycott the
new law. He indicated a final de-
cision had not been made in the
matter
The UNIV Journal editorial said
Labor day of 1947 should be day
of high resolve" by trade unions
to fight for repeal of the new Labor
Act.
Hits Act as Fascist"
Labor has a fight on its hands
to keep from having its liberties and
freedom extinguished by the Fascist
Hartley law" the journal said.
IF labor accepts the mandate of
the Fascist NAM Taft Hartley law
If labor should lose the fight to
repeal this Fascist design-then
free collective bargaining, free en-
terprise and the American way Of
life are done for"
Declaring that the act sis not
susceptible to ordinary understand
ing and cannot be considered in the
light Of ordinary common sense"
the publication added:
Proof of this lies in the para
doxical provisions of the law which
demand an anti Connie affidavit |
from the officials of trade unions
and declarations and at the same
time compel a trade union to &C
cept into membership an avowed
member of the Connie Party"
The UNIV constitution denies
membership in the union to Com
n1unists.
