The Taft-Hartley Bill which was passed by {
our present Congress is now in the process of
being readied for administration. 1t has been
said prior to the passage of this Act that it
was so confused not even the lawyers and the
courts would be able to agree on its provisions.
This, find to be even more truthful then has
at any time heretofore been stated
Not having much room in this column, !
just want to cite two examples and let each
and every reader judge for themselves
whether this law is written for the common
man or not, First, under Limitations" Sec
ton Is, states: Wherever the application
of the provisions of Section 272 of Chapter
10 of the Act entitled An Act to establish
a uniform system of bankruptcy through
out the United States approved July l.
1893 and Acts amendatory thereof and sup
Elementary thereto (U.S.C, Title IL, Sec. 672),
conflicts with the application of the provi-
sions of this Act this Act shall prevail Pr{.S
vided, That in any situation where the prAi<
visions of this Act cannot be validly enforced,
the provisions of such other Acts shall remain
in full force and effect"
Another example is taken from "Restric-
tions on Payments to Employee Representa-
tives." This is Paragraph of Section 302
and is as follows: '"The district courts of the
United States and the United States courts of
the Territories and possessions shall have
jurisdiction, for cause shown, and subject to
the provisions of section II (relating to no.
tice to opposite party of the Act entitled can
Act to supplement existing laws against
lawful restraints and monopolies, and for 9TH
er purposes" approved October Is, 1914, as
amended (U.S.C, Title %, Sec 381) to re-
strain violations of this section, without re-
gard to the provisions of sections 8 and 20 of
such Act of October 15 1914 as amended
(USC title IS, sec. II, and title 20, sec. 52)
and the provisions of the Act entitled 'An Act
to amend the Judicial Code and to define andr
limit the jurisdiction of courts sitting in
equity, and for other purposes" approved
March %, 1892 (U.S.C., title 20, secs 101-
115)."
These examples are given 20 show you how
the law is made complex so the average per-
son cannot understand it and for a reason.
In conclusion again let me say that am
quoting these examples to that you may form
your own opinion as to whether your repre-
sentatives are representing you.

Republican Majority Leader
Rep. Charles Halleck assured
Congress that changes that
the Taft-Hartley Act make in
our laws are for the benefit
of collective bargaining, and
under them unions will enjoy
healthy growth" con the
same day the International
Typographical Union-A AFL, the
oldest and most stable union
in the country, announced that
il would no longer seek any
collective bargaining con-
tracts. Other AFL and CIO
unions by the dozens declared
they would not have any
dealings whatever with the
NLRB. All labor vowed it
would battle from here to
doomsday in every court in the
country if necessary to wipe
the aft-Hartley law off the
books) Industrial peace and
serenity" Halleck continued,
Twill be promoted by this new
law"

John Bricker, our Senator
from Ohio who served an
heroic role during World War
l finally was under fire, with
in the very gates of the cap
ital.
l am reminded of the story
that is told about Theodore
Roosevelt, who, when he was
president was appealed to by
one of his for m e Rough
Riders who was serving a
term in western penitentiary
for shooting at, but missing
his mother-in-law. The culprit
appealed to the President to
use his influence to get him
out of the jug because of his
former association with Roose-
welt in the Spanish American
war and related all the de.
tails of how he shot at, but
missed his wife's mother.
Roosevelt in rejecting the
appeal, sympathized with his
former follower but told him
that he had no use for such a
poor shot, particularly on the
part of one who had been a
Rough Rider.
We sympathize with Bricker,
but feel like Teddy Roosevelt.

Basing its reason for the transfer upon

its own collective bargaining agents took

large number of contracts have been
given the approval of the regional office in
which the national wage pattern was met TO-
gether with paid holidays. Within short timed
all contracts which have been in process Will
be signed and placed in force.
For the most part, our collective bargain
ing procedure has been reasonably satisfactory
with most employers being willing to settle
their differences without forcing the union
into extreme measures. This, coming at a time
when some industralists were roofing for the
Taft.Hartley bill is encouraging and leads me
to hope that the average employer will con-
tinue to use collective bargaining the same as
they have in the past.
There is still so much confusion surround
ing the Interpretation of the TaftHartley bill
that it is really difficult to get true picture
of what it is all about. don't know how Con-
gress can expect attorneys to give either the
unions or the employers clear picture of
law on which even Senator Taft and Repre-
sentative Hartley disagreed last week in q
public discussion.
COURT TEST
In reading articles, both for and against the
new law, it seems to be the opinion of all that
the only way that the meaning of the new law
can be interpreted is through the courts with
the United States Supreme Court making the
final and binding Interpretation.
There are some parts of the law which
apparently are not IN doubt, Such as the section
which says that labor papers which are main.
tanned by means of the dues of the members
may not publish the records of political candi-
dates or take part in political campaigns.
1t was this point which our President,
Philip Murray, wished to test when he used the
ClO News this week to ask the voters in an
eastern city to vote for congressional candi-
date who comes before a special election soon.

points law he in.

DURHAM. Feb. 1.-(P)-A bril-
liant Navy basketball team piled
up a big first half margin to de-
feat Dukes Blue Devils here to-
night 61-48 before 5000 in Dukes
indoor stadium. 1t was Duke S
first home defeat of the year and
their third loss of the season.
Led by amazing little Kenney
Shugart, who apparently couldn't
miss and bagged 20 points for his
team, the Middies fought of the
Blue Devils great second half rally
that pulled the losers to within five
points of Navy. The Middies had
taken a 3l-14 lead in the opening
half as they connected for so per
cent of their shots.
The Blue Devils began pecking
away at the lead with the opening
of the final stanza. Led by Ed
Koffenberger who bagged IS of his
II points in that half, and Rubber
Seward, Duke narrowed the gap te
1881 after six minutes of play.
Shugart and John Barrow con-
nected for Navy as Gordon hit a
long one for the Blue Devils. But
then Koffenberger sank three quick
buckets in less than a minute to
bring the score up to 43-39.
Shugart pushed one in for the
Miodies and Seward matched it for
Duke. The Coach Ben Carnevale
began feeding in substitutions and
the superior reserve power wore
the Blue Devile down.
Navy scared to a 100 lead in the
first half before the Blue Devils
could garner a point. After 1O
minutes they led 1873.
1t a well agreed among the
larger crowd that witnessed the
contest that the Navy had one OF
the greatest teams to play in the
Duke field-house in many years.
