Washington (LPA)-Employers
are already finding that their Taft
law has all kinds of back
aafre possibilities. The New York
Journal of Commerce, big business
daily, declared last week that "The
so-called notwithstanding pro-
vision of the new labor law appears
to leave untouched the common
union practice of demanding re-
porting and standby pay"
Verifying contentious by labor
lawyers, the paper agreed that
''the section is vaguely worded and
subject to broad Interpretation by
the courts. ;"
Meanwhile a bill offered by Sen
ators Aiken (R., VT and Hatch
3D., N. NJ to soften the laws pro-
hibition against political expendi-
lures was given little chance Of
passage this session. Alarmed par
ticularly at the laws gag on the
labor and daily press, Hatch said
he had a "grave doubt" that the
ban is "wise or fair or just"
The Hatch-Aiken bill is given
little chance of enactment this ses-
sion, as is the measure proposed by
IS Senators to repeal the Taft
Hartley law outright.

Sponsor Of Restrictive
Measure Now For Edsinq
-Curbs On Labor Press

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-
Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio
has seen light on at least one
section of the labor law that he
sponsored. Trade unionists are
hopeful that he will change his
mind on other sections of the act,
which the recent conference of
American Federation of Labor un-
ion chiefs branded as "noxious."
Taft declared himself as in fav-
or of amending the Taft Hartley
act to relax restrictions on the
labor press. Almost simultaneous
ly Senator's Carl A. Hatch, Demo-
crat of New Mexico and George D..
Aiken, Republican of Vermont, in
an amendment to the new
r. ,aw designed to remove all threats
to all segments of the press.
Taft for Change in Act
Senator Hatch, when told of
Senator Taft's position, expressed
the opinion it would be possible to
amend the bill in some manner be-
fore the scheduled adjournment of
Congress, July 26, to remove the
threat to civil Liberties in the pre-
sent law.
Senator Taft admitted in an in
terview that there were some

For New Term

The present slate of officers, with
the exception of the vice presi.

vacant through the medium of a
transfer card, was elected by ac-
clamation at the last meeting of

Vets Housing
Program Begun
In Providence

Providence, R. l. (ILNS). =
Backed by a cash subsidy of $780,
900 plus real estate tax exempt
ions, Providence has started a vet
erans housing program for 25C
families with monthly rental aim
ed at an average of $45. The pro-
gram was given a green light sew
eral weeks ago when Rhode Island
enac tie d legislation authorizing
Providence to give instead of lend
the cash subsidy to the local hous-
ing authority.
The city followed this up with a
resolution reaffirming its intention
to build public housing. The sub
sidy is being financed by a S2.5
million housing bond issue author
lied by referendum last fall. Local
bankers are expected to supply ad-
ditional funds on an FHA-insured
loan.
1t had been the intention of the
city to use the bond money for land
assembly, with actual construction
to be left to private enterprise.
Subsequent studies indicated, how
ever, "that direct public construc-
tion would get the houses built
faster" according to the housing
officials.

first declares: Employers and

years as secretary of the Int'l Bro.
therhood of Electrical Workers

from the post. He gave advancing
age and the strain of increasing
duties" as the reason, and said the

President Dan w. Tracy accept

that are genuine and Deep" He
revealed, however, that he had in
duced Bugniazet to "remain in

as the unions executive director
on the National Electrical Benefit

That fund is a joint union-man-
agement affair, with electrical con-

all are feeling fine. From the looks
of some they spent plenty of time
on the beaches.
The Vernon plant has undergone
a complete going over One of the
kilns has been completely worked
over with new bottom, top and
sides. All moving machinery has
been taken apart and cleaned so it
should be good for another year

Our company president is on a

wonderful job. 1t looks like we
are headed for good and prosper

We read with interest the recent
article in the Herald regarding the
battle over what the Taft Hartley
bill really means. 1t seems the two
authors are at logger heads with
each over it, both having different
opinions as to violations since the
signing of the new coal agreement
of the miners. 1t seems to the writ
er that instead of checking the
various labor unions in the country,
and their practice of negotiations
regarding new contracts, some
check should be made of our offic-
ials in Washington, perhaps a
change in that direction would be
in order. -O.C. 113

Labor Conference Asks UN
Back Principles Of Right
To Bdrgdin Collectively

Washington, d. C. (ILNS).-
Basic principles of freedom of as

and bargain collectively were laio
down in a resolution unanimously

or Conference as it ended its sess-
ions at. Geneva, Switzerland, July

Hailing the conference declara-
ton, David A. Morse, U. S. Assist

a press conference:
"The agreement reached here on
this question is probably the most
significant development that has
occurred in the history of this or

most significant development in
this field in the world"
"InviOlable Right" Backed
The resolutions will be sent to
the Economic and Social Council
of the United Nations, which ask
ed the LILO to put the subject on
the agenda. Leon Jouhaux, French

learning that preliminary studies
at the Justice Department held
that the new law prohibits virtu-
ally all the press-even corporate
owned general newspapers-from
making comment which might in
fluence elections for federal office.
"I'd be in favor of an amend
ment to the act to exempt bona fide
newspapers published the year
around-even though they are paid
for out of a compulsory ALLEGATION
of union dues-say 81 out of $5,"
Taft said. He said an exemption of
this kind would allow union news
papers to publish any comment
they wanted.
Senator Does Some Explaining
Even if union papers were fin
anced out of compulsory dues "T'd
be inclined to be liberal about
that" he declared.
The preliminary Justice Depart
ment Interpretation has held that
the prohibitions applied to corpor-
ate-owned general newspapers as
well as those run by labor unions.
Taft said that it had not been
the intention of the drafters of the
bill to penalize legitimate labor
papers. The intention had been to
prevent special election year pro-
pagandizing with union funds, he
explained.

that where state laws are tougher
on labor unions," the state and not
the federal law will apply.
Waldman asserted the law de-
MED to a working man the right to
assign his property, i.e., part of his
future wages, in payment of union
assessments or initiation fees.
In a series of recommendations
to the lila membership, the gen.
eral counsel advocated observance
of the law while court test is be-
ing prepared. He urged the union
not to boycott the National Rela-
tions Board, as some unions are
doing, calling the effect meaning
less.
Advises New Contracts
Boycotting the NLRB, he said,
would not immunize a union from
attempts by employers or other
parties to use the board as a 'pro-
secutor of the union and the act as
basis for damages.
Waldman urged that the union
instruct all it's subdivisions to
notify all employers of its inten-
tion to open negotiations for new
contracts to replace those expiring
Sept. 80. By completing agree
ments before Aug. %, he added,
the lila can still maintain its pre-
ferential hiring clauses.
The convention passed resolu-
tion strongly condemning the Taft
Hartley bill as an instrument that
will bring chaos. 1t called for
observation and obedience" to the
provisions of the bill, with the
idea in mind of electing Congress
that would hasten its repeal.

Wheeling, w. Va.-The annua
vacation period is over for the pot
ters down here in Wheeling and We
are back on the job again. How
ever, most departments of the
plant are still on four day pei
week schedule, due mostly to q
shortage of glost saggers and
bottle-necks in production.
While the shop was down, Bro
ther Johnny Faris, moundrunner
on the cup job took unto himself a
wife. That makes three of the boys
in the clay shop who have taken
the matrimonial step in the past
two months. Along with the
Locals congratulations and best
wishes, each couple was presented
with a set Of Warwick dishes. Bro
theirs Tom huten and Rudy Par
rish were the other recipients.
On Monday, July 7, Bro. Len
Miller, a former Clay maker and
member of our local, died at his
home on South Main st. Mr.. Mill
er has been in failing health for
quite some time and his condition
became serious a week before his
passing. Mr.. Miller retired a year
ago. Funeral services were held in
the Aitmeyer home and burial took
place in Greenwood Cemetary or
Thursday afternoon. The members
of Local Union No. 6 extend their
sympathy to the widow and other
relatives of Brother Miller.
Brother George Marshall, cup
handler, spent his vacation recup-
Grating from a torn muscle in his
back received the day before he
was to start on his 'week-off'. The
accident occurred as Bro. Geo. was
placing a board of ware on his
shoulder. With proper medical
care, the injury mended rapidly
and he is again back at the bench.

New York City (ILNS).--Loui
Waldman, we'll known labor attor
ney and general counsel of the In
ternational Longshoremen's Asso
ciation, characterized the Taft.
Hartley labor act as "class legis
lation of the worst sort" and de.
clared that in addition to being
unconstitutional, it was contrary tc
the whole American tradition OF
equal treatment before the law.
Addressing the 34th convention
of the longshoremen at the Com
modore Hotel, Waldman backed
his charge that the act is unconsti-
tutional by listing 5 ways in which
he said it conflicted with American
rights. Foremost among these, he
said, is that it impairs the freedom
of contract.
He asserted the new law created
crime and prescribed criminal pen
alties for acts which are so vague
ly and indefinitely defined that no
one could tell whether or not the
law was being violated, and cited
the recent difference of opinion on
the United Mine Workers contract
between Senator Robert A. Taft
and Representative Fred A. Hart
ley, Jr.
Charges New Crime" Created
Waldman said that under the
guise Of regulating commerce,
which Congress has the right to
do, it had created new crime hav-
ing nothing to do with regulation
of commerce-that being political
activity on the part of a union or
its members.

Production at the shop the past
week seemed to be in low gear with
quite a number off the job. Some
of these no doubt are ill and un-
able to work, but others it is felt
are just extending their vacations
a few days.
Frank Steed, handler, has enter

tion given by our delegate Oscar
Dale. At the conclusion of his re-

The shop was slow in getting
started after the vacation period,
but the firm had not been id.e. The
clayshop was given new coat Of
paint, slip tank and new carry
out elevator installed, a dish jigger
and dryer moved down stairs, and
the fnishers grouped together for
the purpose of installing an ex-
haust system at an early date. Two
of the jiggers were also redesigned
which makes them easier to oper-
ate and turns out a better piece of
ware.
After numerous delays the shop
is taking on the appearance of an
up-to-date plant. Two new mems
rest rooms with tile floors have
been added, each having a Bradley
fountain where half a dozen or
more can wash at the same time.
