Whitney Blasts
Bills TO Limit
Riqhf TO Strike

WASHING TON, March 5
(LPA)-President A. F. Whit
ney, of the Brotherhood of Rail-
road Trainmen, independent,
startled the Senate Labor Com
mittee last week when he de-
clared that "If an industry is so
essential that anyone can seri-
ously propose the denial of the
fundamental right of its en-
ployes to strike, then it is too
essential to be left in the hands
of private profit seekers"
Whitney strongly oppose d
anti-labor legislation which the
Senate Committee now has under
consideration and said that the
demand for repeal of the Wagner
Act is shocking" Said the BRIT
chief, "The Wagner Act is unfair
only to the disease, not the
patient"
Whitney, unlike other labor
witnesses, refused to be placed
on the defensive. He not only
opposed the pending union
wrecking legislation but
demanded that Congress enact
four amendments to the Railway
Labor Act. These amendments
would remove the provision ir
the Act prohibiting the rail
brotherhoods from obtaining
union scurity clauses in their
contracts and would also permit
a voluntary dues checkoff.
Rail labor, Whitney pointed
out, is the only segment of labor
on which such prohibitions have
been placed. The effect, he said,
has been to allow IAN irresponsi-
BILE minority who refuse to
assume any of the obligations OF
union membership to promote
constant turmoil a m ong the
workers on many rail proper
ties"
